Chapter 1157: Leave when you're done
The Confucian Mansion was very busy, comparable to the Qing army when it entered the meeting two years ago.
The housekeeper and the bookkeeper were busy sweating profusely, because whether the Confucian Mansion wanted to open a granary or a silver warehouse, part of the grain had to be taken to disaster relief, and the other part had to be loaded into trucks to pay taxes to the imperial court.
Kong Yinzhi stayed awake all night, his eyes were already red but he was not sleepy, and he was accompanying Zhu Yihai to drink tea in the lobby at this time, and Kong Zhenkan, who came back from the inn, also passed the words.
"Since he said this, it can be regarded as shaking hands with Yan Shenggong, if you don't mess with him, he won't deceive people too much," Zhu Yihai blew the tea and said lightly.
Kong Yinzhi nodded expressionlessly, and then ordered his subordinates to set up a feast, and personally went to the inn to welcome Chang Yu to the banquet.
With such a low profile, whether he wants to lie down and taste his courage or really want to laugh and enmity with the little eunuch to release his previous suspicions, even Zhu Yihai can't understand.
Chang Yu didn't know, and he didn't care.
After Kong Zhenkan left, he went back to the guest room to drink tea and chat with Chen Wangting and a few others, until the guards informed the Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi that he wanted to see him.
"Lianxin, it's time for a big meal" Chang Yu got up and laughed and left.
In front of the inn, Kong Yinzhi's appearance attracted the people to watch, in Qufu he is the sky, every move is eye-catching, but today he is doing at the door of an inn.
"Yan Shenggong's face is full of red light, isn't there any happy event in the house?" Chang Yu walked out of the inn and arched his hand towards Kong Yinzhi with a spring breeze on his face.
Kong Yinzhi laughed and walked forward: "The factory superintendent's distinguished guests are coming, and the Confucian Mansion is shining, this is a great joy!" ”
"Tut-tut, it's hard to be gracious, it's hard to be gracious" Chang Yu got into the car with his hand, and the onlookers sighed, who is so big that Yan Shenggong personally came to invite, seeing that the relationship is so good, isn't it the Xinlu King of Yanzhou?
In the car, Chang Yu and Kong Yinzhi chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, as if those unpleasant things had never happened, and even Chen Wangting, Qiao Sanxiu and others who were accompanying them outside the car took this for granted, but Wu Zhong was full of disdain: officialdom is too hypocritical!
The Confucian Mansion greeted the second visit of the little eunuch with high-standard treatment, but the little eunuch was like the first visit, all kinds of curiosity, all kinds of can't see enough, all kinds of questions.
Kong Yinzhi, the head of the Confucian family who accompanied him left and right, took the trouble to answer all questions.
Zhu Yihai saw this scene in his eyes, and his heart was shocked, it is understandable that Kong Yinzhi's old fritters can bend and stretch, and it is really unimaginable that the little eunuch can be at a young age.
The feast is rich enough, and the banquet is grand enough.
The people who went to the banquet were respectful enough, and they were very happy to eat.
At the same time, the governor of Yanzhou, Yamen, also issued a notice in the whole mansion to exempt the tax for three years, and the people suddenly dreamed like a dream and then carnivaled.
The rioters outside the city were also excited when they heard the news, and dispersed separately as agreed, knowing that if they did not disperse, they would only be afraid of great disaster.
And the most happy person is Wei Changde, who led his subordinates into the city, asked the direction of the Confucian Mansion and came directly to the door, and the family knew that the eunuch did not dare to slack off, and invited his party into the Confucian Mansion to treat him as a guest, which made Wei Changde really like a dream, he was able to become a guest in the Confucian Mansion in his lifetime, and he ate and drank a lot, which is enough to brag for a lifetime.
Of course, this was just the beginning, after the meal, the little eunuch met with him and gave a big order, the 150,000 stone of grain donated by the Confucian Mansion was transported to Gyeonggi for disaster relief through the Surabaya Grand Canal.
At present, tens of thousands of troops are heading south, and military rations are important, but there is a huge shortage of grain in the north, and the entire Hebei, including the capital, has been exhausted.
Although the imperial court is also trying its best to solve the problem at this time, their only way is to transfer grain from the south, not to mention whether there is money to buy it, whether to buy it or not, I don't know how many people will starve to death when the food arrives for thousands of miles, and there will be civil riots and riots.
Compared with the imperial court, Chang Yu has more methods, because he can be shameless or unruly.
Therefore, in Jinan, 100,000 stones were obtained from King De, and some of the remaining were sent to Gyeonggi for military rations, and now another 150,000 stones have been made in Qufu and all of them have been transported to the rescue.
The reason why he left half of Jinan's grain to go south at that time was because he was not sure whether he could fight the autumn breeze in Qufu before he came, after all, military food is the most important thing, and there is no food to fight a war.
I wasn't sure or even thought of the reason before I came, but I didn't expect it to be very rewarding.
The 50,000 stone of grain obtained from King De alone is far from enough for tens of thousands of people to consume, but Chang Yu has other preparations, Octopus has already gone south to purchase grain a few months ago, some of which have been transported to Xuzhou and are ready to establish a grain and grass base there.
The important thing is that Xuzhou Gaojie's territory, with his current relationship with Chang Yu, is that Chang Yu doesn't open his mouth, he has to mean it!
This way, I want to eat, and Lao Tzu has to become a millionaire, Chang Yu secretly made up his mind.
In other words, there are really a lot of people who have made a fortune from asking for food!
In the evening, Chang Yu and his entourage left Qufu, and although the chaotic people outside the city were not gone, there were only a few left, and most of them were the backbone to contact the Confucian Mansion.
The bearded man who Li Muxian put on makeup is the eldest disciple of the immortal master behind the scenes of this hollowing movement: "This matter is over, I should go back to the mountain to resume my life, and we will have a period after that."
Zhu Yihai did not leave with Chang Yu, he was still going to be a guest in the Confucian Mansion for a few days, in fact, he was helping Chang Yu to negotiate food and salary matters, the grain can be transported, and the silver can actually be gone, but there must be officers and soldiers escorting it, otherwise these Cao Gang will be taken away directly, where do you go to find someone.
So Chang Yu ordered the Chen brothers to lead 30 people to escort 500,000 yuan of silver with Dai Changde to the Jining Canal by water, and to take over with their own soldiers and horses there.
And now Chang Yu's subordinates are only more than 20 personal guards, but even so, he has nothing to fear.
Under the shade of the trees near the Surabaya ferry, Chang Yu got out of the car and stretched, and three people wearing hats walked out of the woods not far away and arched their hands in front of Chang Yu: "See your lordship, fortunately not disgraced."
"This matter has been done successfully, and all the 150,000 stone grain of this governor will be used for disaster relief, which is also considered the merit of the three of them."

These three people are naturally Li Muxian, Monk Haihong and Night Demon.
"Before, the great monk said that he would follow you to the rivers and lakes, but in fact, he felt inexplicable to save the common people, but now he finally understands a little." Su Jing said thoughtfully.
Chang Yu chuckled: "There are all kinds of rivers and lakes, some are chivalrous and righteous, and some are abducted and deceived, so naturally there are also those who save the common people."
"Then what are they" Su Jing raised his hand and pointed to the grain boats that were busy at the ferry: "Black is not black and white."
"To be exact, they shouldn't be considered Jianghu people," Li Muxian continued.
Chang Yu shook his head: "It's all said that the rivers and lakes are all in Vientiane, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and they naturally belong to one of the rivers and lakes" said to Su Jing: "The rivers and lakes are not all about fighting and killing, but more about human feelings, so this grain ship gang looks not black or white, but black and white eat both."
"Okay, then I'll follow you and take a look at the so-called Vientiane rivers and lakes" Su Jing said lightly, his eyes looked at the carriage in the distance: "Lianxin, why don't you come to see the teacher when you see it."
Hearing this, Lianxin hurriedly got out of the car: "Master, I didn't recognize it, I thought it was ......."
