Chapter 16 The Displaced Borrow Food
The sun is high in the sky, the scorching sun is overhead, and Gao Shun keeps looking into the distance. "Huiyi, let's go, then Guan Hai shouldn't come."
Li Huiyi smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, wait a minute, they will come." ”
Gao Shun said unconvinced: "Really? Kou Liu is an untrustworthy person, why does Huiyi believe it so much? ”
Li Huiyi explained: "That's an outlaw, they have no choice but to do it, and now they have a way to live, and they will definitely come to vote." ”
Gao Shun was suspicious, and glanced into the distance again. "Okay, let's wait."
Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour later, Guan Hai led a group of disheveled rogues and slowly appeared in front of the five people.
Seeing that Guan Hai really led people to vote, Gao Shun was impressed.
Stopping the trembling rogues from moving forward, Guan Hai stepped forward and knelt down and said: "General Li, Guan has called everyone in the cottage, and I hope the general will not break his promise." ”
Li Huiyi said with a straight face: "Brother Guan has worked hard, he will do what he says, and now the person who leads you well, don't lose it." ”
After a few brief exchanges, Li Huiyi turned around and greeted Gao Shun and the others and began to set off.
Seeing this, Guan Hai also hurriedly led everyone to follow, and marched towards Xiangping in a mighty way.
After more than ten days of travel, Li Huiyi and others entered the territory of Dong'anyang County, and the accompanying team has become more and more.
Nearly 7,000 or 8,000 people, all of whom were displaced people.
As soon as there are many people, various problems will follow, and now we are facing the danger of food shortage.
Gao Shun, as the chief manager, found Li Huiyi to complain at this time. "Huiyi, I've run out of coils to wait for, what should I do next?"
"Huh?" Li Huiyi was puzzled: "So fast! I thought that Cai Laobei's entanglement was enough for Xiangping. ”
"That's it, Brother Gao will go to see the homeless people first, and Huiyi will go to Mr. Chen to discuss."
Gao Shun nodded and said, "That's good, you can think of a way as soon as possible, so as not to get the displaced people without food and fall into panic." ”
Looking at the departing Gao Shun, Li Huiyi shook his head slightly, turned around and went to look for Chen Gong who was driving.
Trotting all the way, and finally catching up with Chen Gong, Li Huiyi couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, I wait for the money to run out, but it will take some time to get to Xiangping, and I hope that Mr. will point out a clear road so that these homeless people can reach Xiangping safely." ”
The speed of the carriage was not fast, and Chen Gong was also leisurely, hearing Li Huiyi's words, he thought for a moment and said:
"These more than 8,000 displaced people are all Han people, why don't Huiyi borrow grain from local officials."
"Hmm." It seems that with a strategist, he can really solve a lot of problems.
Li Huiyi nodded and said: "What Mr. said is reasonable, then when I enter the city, I will be annoyed that Mr. will give you some advice." ”
Chen Gong raised his horsewhip and whipped it lightly, increasing the speed of slowing down a little. "Okay, the old man was with you at that time."
The method was already there, Li Huiyi felt a little calmer, followed the car, and headed for Dong'anyang City, which is not far away.
Seeing the sunset, Li Huiyi finally arrived at the city gate before the night.
The official who was about to close the city gate suddenly saw so many people coming, and he was frightened that the six gods had no owner, and he immediately wanted to close the gate.
Fortunately, Gao Shun's eyes were quick and he stepped forward to stop him, so that Li Huiyi and others could enter the city.
Originally, the officials did not agree to the exiles entering the city, but Li Huiyi took out an edict, identified himself, and assured that the exiles would not make trouble, so he persuaded the officials.
Entering the city, Li Huiyi explained that Gao Shun was optimistic about the displaced people, so he rushed to the government with Chen Gong.
When he came to the mansion, Li Huiyi reported his name and was welcomed into the hospitality room
As he was sitting and waiting for half a cup of tea, he saw an obese middle-aged man walking into the room with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, distinguished guest, Xiangping Ling came from afar, and this official has ordered to prepare a banquet to entertain Xiangping Ling."
Li Huiyi stood up and said politely: "Brother doesn't need to be polite, the younger brother's visit today is because he encountered a little thing on the way to office, and I hope my brother can help me or two." ”
The fat man's face paused slightly: "Oh, I don't know what's going on?" ”
Li Huiyi smiled awkwardly: "Due to the lack of budget, the younger brother wants to borrow some food from the elder brother. ”
The left brother and the right brother, the fat man is in a good mood. "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, how much does that need?"
Li Huiyi stretched out two fingers and said, "Two thousand stones, with my brother's strength, there should be no problem." ”
(A stone in the Han Dynasty is equivalent to twenty-seven pounds now, if there is a difference, I hope you will bear with me)
"Two thousand stones!?" The fat man jumped up in fright, and said with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Xiangping Ling is really joking, this official is sold, and he can't take it out." ”
Li Huiyi flattered: "Hey, brother, this is serious, after the younger brother arrives, he will return it, if you don't believe it, you can make an IOU, and the elder brother can rest assured." ”
"Hmm." Seeing that Li Huiyi was so polite, the fat man also said helplessly: "Xiangping Order, it's not that I'm afraid that you won't return it, and this small county can't take it out." ”
Seeing that the fat man was really embarrassed, Li Huiyi no longer insisted on it. "How much can that brother borrow?"
The fat man thought for a while and said, "Two hundred stones, this official can order someone to prepare now." ”
Li Huiyi and the others had already discussed on the way here, and the number reported would not be difficult at all.
It's only one-tenth of the eye, which makes Li Huiyi a little displeased. "My brother should have learned that there are about 8,000 displaced people in the city."
"It's not a secret, those were all taken in by the younger brother along the way, and the two hundred stones of the elder brother are probably not enough for a day."
"If the elder brother is really in difficulty, then the younger brother can only place them in the city to beg, and then the homeless people are hungry and make trouble, and hope that the elder brother will be comforted."
"This, this ......" The fat man fidgeted, his eyebrows tightened, and he thought for a while and said: "Xiangping ordered to wait here for a while, and the official went to the treasury to check it, and if there was, he would definitely help generously." ”
Li Huiyi nodded and said politely: "Then thank you, brother, those thousands of homeless people will definitely thank my brother for saving his life." ”
The fat man smiled awkwardly, coped with it, and hurried away.
Seeing the appearance of the fat man fleeing in the wilderness, Chen Gong quipped: "Your move is to advance and retreat, but it is a stroke of genius." ”
Li Huiyi's face turned red and said: "Sir, don't make fun of it, Huiyi is also forced to do so, as the saying goes, those who starve to death with a thin face, support those with a thick face, this is not no way, and whether to borrow or not is still unknown." ”
Chen Gong thought about it and said: "Don't worry, he is looking for someone to discuss, and for the sake of stability, he will definitely borrow it." ”
Seeing that Chen Gong was so sure, Li Huiyi was also a lot more relieved.
After waiting for half an hour, the fat man finally returned to the wing. "Xiangping Order, Xiaoxiao Donganyang County, I really can't take out 2,000 stones for a while."
Li Huiyi said: "Then I don't know how much my brother can borrow?" ”
The fat man replied, "At most, a thousand stones, this is already the limit of this official." ”
If you see a good thing, you will accept it, and Li Huiyi is not greedy. "Okay, on behalf of the people, the little brother thanked the elder brother for saving his life."
The fat man said politely: "It's okay, it's okay, the official is a good person to the end, and this will ask someone to send food to Xiangping Ling." ”
Seeing that the fat man was amnesty and anxious to send food, Li Huiyi knew that he was asking the plague god to leave.
"Okay, thank you brother, the younger brother will not bother, and as soon as the food arrives, I will arrange for the people to set off as soon as possible."
Seeing that Li Huiyi was self-aware, the fat man also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and let Li Huiyi leave.
In order to let Li Huiyi lead the displaced people to leave as soon as possible, the fat man's speed can be said to be flying, and the food has been delivered in less than three hours.
Although there is not much food, it can be distributed to everyone one by one, and it can barely last a few days.
With this grain borrowing, Li Huiyi also thought of a solution to the food shortage, that is, borrowing from local officials.
After resting for a night and leaving Dong'anyang City, Li Huiyi and others passed by the city, like locusts crossing the border, and officials from all over the country were on the verge of a catastrophe.
In order to protect the stability of the rule, officials in various places could only break their wealth to avoid disasters, ranging from a few hundred stones to thousands of stones, and lend them to Li Huiyi.
With food in their stomachs and no panic in their hearts, Li Huiyi and the others sped up a lot, and finally came to Daijun.
After a brief explanation, Li Huiyi and Juan Nizi hurried back to the mountain to pick up the old man and go to Xiangping.
The familiar mountains, the familiar roads, and the familiar air make people speed up their pace.
Seeing the familiar house in sight, Juannizi shouted, "Grandpa, grandpa, Juan'er is back......"
After shouting, a familiar face did not appear, but a strange young man walked out of the house. "Are you two Juan Nizi and Li Huiyi?"
Well?
How is it a young man?
Could it be that grandpa is like a bloody TV plot, and he wants to enjoy happiness when he opens his eyes, but he is arrested by bullies, and then he is abused......
Li Huiyi had an ominous premonition, and asked anxiously, "Who are you and why are you here?" ”
When the words fell, Juan Nizi didn't wait for the man to answer, so she pulled Li Huiyi and entered the house.
Seeing that the room was empty, the two of them showed panic on their faces and hurriedly ran out.
"Who are you? Why did you take grandpa? ”
Hearing Juan Nizi's question, the young man replied helplessly: "The old man is hunting in the back mountain, two of you......
Before the young man could finish speaking, the two hurried to the back mountain.
