Chapter 109: What is he up to? (Please subscribe!! Please bookmark!!)

Yuhang, Su Mansion

“By the way, did you get any results on the matter I asked you to investigate last time?”

Su Hong asked as he ate the lychees that his concubine had picked.

“Master, this is really strange. I heard that a door suddenly appeared on Qinghefang Street, and then Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng walked out of the door.…”

Su Hong waved his hand and interrupted the housekeeper,”What a mess! You are reporting these nonsense rumors to me?

Let’s investigate further to find out how that guy managed to return to Yuhang without making any noise.”

Remember this

Su Hong was a little angry.

He had expected that such a big thing would happen in Yuhang.

With Hua Manlou’s personality, he will definitely rush back to Yuhang.

So at the pass of the official road

He had already ambushed the killer who was ready to kill him.

I just never thought of it.

That kid actually bypassed all the assassin ambushes.

Just like that, he returned to Yuhang City quietly.

This made Su Hong feel that there was something strange about this matter.

He doesn’t like this feeling.

So we must make this clear.

“Anything else? Just tell me the main points.”

The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced steward hurriedly said,”Many of the porridge stalls set up by the Hua family around Yuhang have also been closed. Moreover, when we gathered together today, the brothers who went to grab the porridge all reported that there was a lot of bran and even sand added to the porridge.

According to the rules of the Hua family, these porridges must be drunk in person.

Bran is for animals to eat.

There was also sand mixed in, so the brothers couldn’t drink it.…”

Su Hong seemed to be listening to a joke

He burst into laughter,”Haha, OK, I get it, then there’s no need to find anyone to go over there, it seems the Hua family is really at the end of their rope.”

Su Hong was not surprised by this result.

The fact that the Hua family could hold out for half a month was beyond his expectation.

Now it is clear that food is running out.

The only way to fool the victims was to add bran and sand into the porridge.

The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced butler smiled apologetically and continued,”There is another thing. The Hua family has inexplicably recruited many people to work in their shipyard and brocade workshop.

It seems that the government is also recruiting people to repair roads and clean up rivers.”

Su Hong pondered for a moment

He sneered,”It’s really inexplicable, but it doesn’t matter, let them do whatever they want.”

These issues are not the focus of Su Hong’s attention.

No matter what the Hua family and the government are planning

Doing these things will not solve the problem of food shortage

Why should Su Hong waste his time and energy on these meaningless things?

…..

Yuhang, Woyun Inn

“Brother, what the hell is Hua Manlou doing? How could he add bran to the porridge? There is so much sand, it is not something for people to drink!”

Shangguan Haitang, dressed in white and men’s clothing, frowned and said angrily

After she came to Yuhang

I often hear people talking about the many good deeds that Hua Man Lou has done.

So I have always had a good impression of Hua Man Lou.

When the famine occurred, Shangguan Haitang heard too many voices from the people of Yuhang who wanted such a great man who saved people from suffering to return to Yuhang as soon as possible.

But when Hua Manlou really returned to Yuhang

Shangguan Haitang saw a worse situation

There is a nameless fire burning in her heart now

“Bran is certainly not something that people can eat, but it is something that can fill your stomach. Haven’t you noticed that as the number of porridge stalls has decreased, the number of people who go to the porridge stalls to grab food has decreased?”

Duan Tianya said thoughtfully

Shangguan Haitang is very smart

Otherwise, he would not have become a top spy under the Iron-hearted Lord.

It is even more impossible for a woman to lead the world’s number one village.

She was indeed a little blinded by anger just now

Now, after Duan Tianya said this

I understood a lot of things in an instant.

The reason why Hua Manlou did this

It’s also completely out of helplessness

There is not much food now.

He must want to ensure that food aid reaches the victims who really need it.

Shangguan Haitang also saw what happened a few days ago. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

There are always many idle people among those seeking relief.

There are even many rogues

Hua Manlou’s decision

Although it seems that the disaster victims are not treated as human beings

But it did work.

At least let those disaster victims who really can’t get enough food to survive

Thinking of this, Shangguan Haitang’s dissatisfaction with Hua Manlou was reduced a little.

“Why is he recruiting so many people to work in the Hua family’s shipyard and brocade workshop? Is he still only thinking about the Hua family’s business?

And at this hour, he was still in the mood to organize a dragon boat race?”

Shangguan Haitang couldn’t understand Hua Manlou’s series of actions.

These problems have been weighing on her mind for too long.

There is an urge to speak out

Duan Tianya stroked his chin and paced as he said,”From a purely business perspective, Hua Man Lou has absolutely no need to recruit so many people at this time.

You know, the wages he offered were very reasonable, and he also offered to give food directly to the children.

This undoubtedly gave many people a way out.

He also persuaded the government to recruit ordinary people to build roads and clean up rivers.

You also know that there is no money or grain in the government treasury now.

These money and grain were paid by Hua Manlou on behalf of the government”

After a moment’s silence, Duan Yuya continued,”As for organizing the dragon boat race, according to my observation, the first race attracted a lot of attention.

Not only people from Yuhang, but also people from surrounding towns came.

Those who can still come to watch the game now are considered relatively wealthy.

Their arrival has greatly improved the business of Yuhang merchants.”

Shangguan Haitang’s eyes widened

She never expected

Hua Man Lou’s unrelated actions actually produced so many positive effects.

This was something she had never thought of before

No wonder, in Shangguan Haitang’s opinion, the things he did had nothing to do with disaster relief.

But it has won unanimous praise from the people of Yuhang

“I have to say that Hua Manlou is a genius, but there is one thing I cannot see through now.

Why would he stop supplying affordable grain to the people of Yuhang? Even the Hua family’s granary is running out of food.

Then he doesn’t have to buy grain on a large scale at high prices.”

Duan Tianya frowned

I heard Duan Tianya’s words

Shangguan Haitang also looked solemn

Indeed

This is also the biggest point that Shangguan Haitang disagrees with Hua Manlou.

It’s fine if the Hua family doesn’t supply affordable grain to the people of Yuhang

Instead, they buy at high prices on a large scale

This made all the efforts of the government and Hua Ruling go down the drain.

It took a lot of effort to stabilize the grain prices for half a month.

Because of Hua Manlou’s actions at this time

The price is rising almost every hour.

“What exactly is he up to? What does he want to do?”

Shangguan Haitang’s face was as gloomy as water, and she murmured softly
