Chapter 280 Grain Robbed

"Everyone, don't worry, take your time, there are all there, all there are!" At the gate of the Yucheng Yamen, the food delivered began to be distributed the next day, and now the gate was crowded with people, and everyone's hungry eyes were staring , Seeing that there is food, how can I care about anything else!

Seeing the booing refugees, Xu Zi frowned, walked over and threw one of the men out by the collar, everyone looked at this, and then they became quiet!

"I know that everyone must be hungry. If you are restless, you will continue to be hungry. If you want to eat, come one by one!"

After hearing this, everyone gave up. The officials stopped them, and they formed a long queue one by one. The food eaters were also nimble, but after a while, the whole Yucheng people inevitably got a meal. eat!

"Master Xu, your wife is really capable. Just now, the right minister sent someone to deliver a message. All the food delivered today was sent by Chunnong's daughter. Moreover, it is useless to go to court!"

Zhou Tianmiao walked towards Xu Zi with a smile, Xu Zi nodded, he knew it, his elder brother brought food yesterday and told him about his daughter-in-law's plan, if not, the refugees from Yucheng could still get it After a full meal, it would be nice to have a bowl of glutinous rice flour!

"This is definitely a good thing. Although these people have no land to live in, they can at least eat enough. They will be busy with things after the rain stops and the water recedes!" Xu Zi said as he walked in. After leaving the yamen, I was completely soaked right now!

Zhou Tianmiao walked in together and said. "What I'm talking about is that the daughter of Chunnong not only knows how to do business, but also has such a good life. It's really admirable!"

Hearing this, Xu Zi smiled and didn't answer!Now that the food is provided by his daughter-in-law, the most important thing right now is whether these refugees can live on land!

The rain was endless and never stopped. What Xu Zi and Zhou Tianmiao were most worried about was that the city of Yu would also be flooded.He must be going to the city, how can he accommodate so many people in a short while?

In other flooded county towns, the water rose to half the waist after several days of heavy rain, and many people came to Yucheng.The current Yucheng is almost crowded with people, but some big families left earlier, and those who don't have much money are willing to leave because they care about the place in the house!

In the name of Chen Chunhua, Chunnong's daughter, call for it.A few days later, the money received was seven to eight million.The big business family of Baijia took the lead to take out the money, which was 80 taels. This 3 taels was not enough for the flood disaster of crossing the river, but it was the beginning of Baijia.Those big businessmen also rushed to send the money over!

And the other two big families.It has always been wrong, knowing that Baijia took out 5 taels, one of the two is more than the other, one is 8 taels, and the other is [-] taels. Thinking about it, it is really a waste of money in comparison!

Chen Chunhua didn't care about these things, she kept the money cheerfully!

As for what Chen Chunhua did, Prime Minister Right went to the palace to face the saint, and told the matter to the saint, and then mentioned it in the court hall, those officials also took out their pockets one after another, after a lot of tossing, it was another 10,000+ taels!

Above the court, the monthly money that the officials get is only that. If they pay too much, I am afraid that they will be suspected. If they take advantage of this, and check it later, they will be able to find out the tricks inside!

10,000+ taels, compared to the money Chen Chunhua collected, it's not worth mentioning!

Chen Chunhua had money but no food. The money was collected to buy food. Later, many bosses in the rice and grain business sent people to send food, but it was not much. Chen Chunhua and Bai After discussing with Yao, he called all the bosses of the rice grain business to Zhaojia Village the next day!

"Boss Chen, if you want to buy food, I'm not talking about raising the price. For the sake of the refugees crossing the river, I'll get back my travel expenses!"

Chen Chunhua nodded and said. "Boss Li, I'd like to tell you the truth. I bought this grain and sent it across the river. I can't get it at all. I have to hire someone to send the grain to you. I know it's not easy for everyone to do business. , but you are also thinking, if the crossing of the river has always been like this, can your business still be doing well?"

All the bosses present have been in business for many years, so they understood the meaning of Chen Chunhua's words, thought for a while, and said. "Since this is the case, I will sell you as much as I bought this grain. As for the trip expenses, it's all for doing some good deeds and accumulating virtue!"

"Success, Boss Li is very kind. I don't know if the others have something to say?" After hearing this, the others shook their heads. Seeing this, Chen Chunhua smiled slightly and said. "I'm willing to help you with this matter. If you don't want to help, no one will complain. It's just pity for those refugees!"

"Boss Chen is right, I will send someone to deliver the food tomorrow!"

After saying hello to all the bosses in the rice business, Chen Chunhua asked Mrs. Wen to send the guests out, then looked at Bai Yao and said. "Master Bai, you told me earlier that the other two families have lowered the price of rice and grain, but the price is the same as back?"

"It's lowered, but it's still very expensive, but the latter two families have been put on the bar because they used money to help the disaster. The price of rice and grain has dropped. I'm afraid it's for this reason. Since it's a big family doing business, the best is to buy it." It's face, with your good man's name on the stele, the two of them are not willing to back down!"

"That's good, you can't get involved in this matter, so they fight and fight. It would be better if the prices of the goods are lowered later!" After Chen Chunhua finished speaking, she picked up the abacus and started to move it!

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!" The third child went to cross the river to deliver food, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth. Seeing Baiyao, he nodded to him and said. "We couldn't go across the river at all. The part of the river that crossed the river was flooded. As soon as we entered Shangcheng, we were blocked by many refugees. Take care of us, the food must have been robbed!"

Speaking of this, the third child was almost frightened, the upper city was not flooded, and the refugees in the upper city were all over the streets, this person could not go out with his belongings, and was surrounded by several people when he went out It was snatched away, and the third child was watching the messy appearance with his own eyes, and his heart was not at ease!

"Which county is Xu Zixian in?" What the third child said was normal, I don't know what happened to Xu Zi!

After hearing this, the third child pulled up a chair and sat down, saying. "I haven't seen Xu Zi, but I heard Mr. Zhou said that Xu Zi is in charge of Yucheng, and this upper city is under the control of Master Zhou!"

"Yucheng? Isn't Yucheng closer to Dujiang, but it's not flooded?"

"Yucheng is closer to the crossing river, and it has not yet been flooded. There are more refugees in Yucheng than in the upper city. The heavy rain in the area of ​​crossing the river does not stop. It must not take a few days for the refugees in Yucheng to die." We have to move to Shangcheng, and now the Xuancheng gate past Shangcheng has been guarded by yamen, and the city gates are closed, there is no way for refugees from Shangcheng to go to Xuancheng!"

Hearing what Baiyao said, Chen Chunhua frowned. If Xuancheng closed the city gate, the water in the area across the river would not recede, and the rain would not stop. If it was flooded, where would the refugees go?

Furthermore, most of these refugees are thinking about their hometown, so they are reluctant to leave, but if this continues, no matter how much money she collects, she can't control these tens of thousands of mouths!

What Chen Chunhua thought was also what Xu Zi thought, they both wanted to go together!

"Brother, why did you become like this?" Chen Chunhua saw that the boss and Shunzi came in together, both of them had bruises on their faces, and their clothes were also dirty and messed up!

Shunzi helped the elder brother to sit down, the six sons took a look, and hurried to the next village to ask for a doctor, the eldest only received some skin trauma, sat down to rest for a long time, and then looked at Chen Chunhua. "I sent food there, and before I left Xuancheng and entered Shangcheng, I was stopped by a group of people on the way!"

"What? Stopped? What about the food? Master Zhou didn't go outside the city to pick you up?" Chen Chunhua patted herself on the head after she finished speaking. Tell him to send someone to Xuancheng to meet the boss!

The boss wiped the blood on his face, frowned in pain, and said. "The food has been robbed, we can't enter the upper city, and the people who deliver the food all the way can't do it, so we have to come back!"

"What should I do?" Bai Yao continued after hearing this. "Report to the officer!"

Chen Chunhua nodded, that's all she had to do. If she sent more food, she might not be able to send it in. The food was robbed by the refugees outside the city, starving the refugees in Shangcheng and Yucheng!

When the six sons went to invite the young doctor to come over, Chen Chunhua called the six sons to go to Xing County to tell the master Zhang Liang about the matter!

After Zhang Liang learned of this, he immediately brought the people from the yamen over. The boss was injured, and the food sent over was also robbed.

It was good to have Zhang Liang come forward, and the third child didn't rest for a while, and called everyone to load the grain into the carriage, and hurriedly went to cross the river!

When they arrived in Xuancheng, Zhang Liang brought more than a dozen yamen servants with him, it must not be enough. The boss also said that there are many refugees outside the upper city, and even a dozen people had to be beaten to death. After arriving in Xuancheng, Zhang Liang looked for The county magistrate of Xuancheng, the boss, and the people who delivered the food hadn't left Xuancheng. Zhang Liang and the Xuancheng county magistrate, Mr. Liu, led the officials to go to the upper city to find Zhou Tianmiao and said that the food was robbed!

After Zhou Tianmiao knew about this, he wrote a letter immediately, asking his subordinates to return to the capital as soon as possible.

The batch of grain that the boss escorted over was going to Yucheng, but the grain was robbed, so it can't be sent to Yucheng under the current situation. I just found out about this!
