Chapter 552: I'm Grateful
Su Dai snorted and was about to speak, when Qiu Ming immediately said: "Under such circumstances, I brought this grain into Changsha, which is no different from entering the wolves with a few pieces of fresh meat, but I am afraid that before I start to release the grain, I will already be robbed by the hungry people." And as long as Ou Xing is not an idiot, he will not let us bring food into the city. ”
Su Dai said angrily: "Didn't we come here to fight against that district star? If you are so afraid of the enemy like a tiger, you might as well go back to Dengzhou to farm. ”
Qiu Ming raised his head and looked at Su Dai: "You are wrong, I have no grievances with Ou Xing in the past and no enmity in the near future, there is no need to travel thousands of miles to fight him, there are many people I have to deal with, how old is Ou Xing?" I came to Changsha just to rescue Zhang Taishou and the people of Mancheng, not specifically to trouble Ou Xing. ”
Su Dai did something under Cao Cao, and he was not a pure idiot, so after calming down a little, he asked: "To rescue Zhang Taishou and the people of Mancheng, could it be that the county has already made a decision?" ”
Qiu Ming smiled: "Of course there is no decision, but I already have a general idea, we can start releasing grain in Miluo, and pass on this news so that those hungry people in Changsha can know about it." ”
Guo Jia continued: "There are at least three advantages to this, first, it shows that we are the royal master who came to provide disaster relief on behalf of the imperial court, no matter how the people of Ou Xing spread rumors and smear, it is impossible for him to deny this fact; Second, the cause of the starving people's disturbances was originally for food, and now that there is hope, most people should stop taking risks. Third, because the chaotic army has blocked the road, Huang Zu's people have not received information from Changsha City for a long time, and we may be able to collect some useful information through this method, such as the status and distribution of the troops of the district star, etc. ”
Qiu Ming looked at Guo Jia and opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, but Guo Jia smiled and said: "Originally, I was going to use this method at the edge of Changsha City, but since you said it in public now, let's do it first." ”
Su Dai shook his head, as if he was still a little unacceptable, he retorted: "Is our food enough to send food like this?" Don't go to Changsha, even we ourselves are short of food. ”
Qiu Ming said: "I have written a letter to send back to Dengzhou, so that Jukong can raise money to go to Yangzhou to buy grain, and Huang Zu's grain ship has already set off to Yangzhou to buy grain a few days ago, as long as the waterway is unblocked, the grain should be able to keep up." ”
Since Qiu Ming said so, Su Dai had already asked him, so he didn't say more. Fortunately, this place is very close to Baling, and Qiu Ming asked Lu Gong to arrange for someone to go back to deliver the letter, and at the same time urged Baling to send grain as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, the door of the Baijiawu Fort was opened, and everyone's faces were smiling, looking happily at the mountains of grain bags in front of the door.
Tyuming put on a brand-new official robe and came to the front of everyone under the protection of Dian Wei and Liao Hua. The whispered discussion immediately merged into a tidal wave of cheers, and everyone praised the county magistrate from nowhere with the warmest applause and the most sensual language. Qiu Ming smiled and said to Dian Wei: "There are a lot of people, I am very pleased." Dian Wei rolled his eyes and ignored him.
