In June of the first year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, a once-in-a-century drought swept the entire northern land of Datang, and Longyou Road, Guannei Road, Hebei Road, and Hedong Road were all spared!

In the palace, Li Er has been in a hurry in recent days, seeing the outbreak of drought, rumors are spreading everywhere, and there have been displaced people in some particularly poor places!

Gather all the civil and military forces to prepare to allocate the next place to carry out disaster relief operations!

"Where has the Jiangnan grain transport team gone? How many days do we have left to reach the Northland? In the council hall, Li Er asked in a deep voice.

The eldest grandson Wuji replied, "The disaster relief grain in the south of the Yangtze River is divided into three routes to the north, the fastest way is the waterway, and there are two days to get to Youzhou, and the slowest way has reached Luoyang!"

It's just that so far, the most serious disaster is at the junction of Hedong Road and Hebei Road, and at the current speed of the grain transportation team, it will take ten days to arrive! ”

Ten days? Now that there are displaced people, it is estimated that the number of displaced people will increase exponentially if it drags on for another ten days!

Frowning tightly, Li Er opened his mouth and asked, "Do you Aiqing have a good plan?" You must know that once the displaced people are around, the situation will be difficult to control, and it is easy to cause chaos! ”

The crowd didn't speak for a while!

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! At present, it takes ten days to transport grain and grass in the distance, and the official warehouse in the vicinity has long been empty, and there is no food available, so we can only watch the people start to flee the famine!

Gao Shilian opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the harvest has not been good in recent years, and there are often major disasters, so there is no grain in the local official warehouse at all. ”

Li Er sighed, "Hey! Forget it, I know this in my heart! ”

Bai Fan, who was sitting at the bottom, opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Gao, don't you know that there is grain in other places in the local area besides the official warehouse?" If the people have no food at home, and there is no food in the official warehouse, then all the people should go out to flee the famine! ”

Gao Shilian explained to Bai Fan with a smile, "No, no, there are also rich families and poor families among the people, and the rich families will naturally accumulate the food that has survived the disaster, so in the end, at most seventy percent of the people will flee, and the remaining thirty percent should be able to withstand the disaster!" ”

"Then since there is food in the local area, our court can pay money to buy their grain for disaster relief! It doesn't hurt to get a higher price! When the food from the south arrives after these few days, won't everyone be fine? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile, "How can there be such a good thing, in the face of the catastrophe, everyone knows that food is more useful than money, the court said that there is food delivered, how many people can believe it?"

If the family takes out the grain, and in the end the court can't transport the new grain, won't the rich family also starve and suffer? ”

Fang Xuanling then spoke, "It's not that there are no brave and kind-hearted people who come forward to provide disaster relief, but who can afford the food of so many people?"

Hungry people don't care about this, as long as someone provides disaster relief, everyone will flock to it, and the people who come out for disaster relief will not be able to bear it, and they will not be consumed by the displaced people in a few days, and they will become displaced themselves.

Therefore, over time, when such a thing happens again, it is better for everyone to close the door and turn a blind eye, after all, until the time of life and death, the people will not break the door and rob it! ”

Bai Fan nodded, this is indeed the truth!

Is there really no way? For a moment, Bai Fan fell into deep thought, because he thought of an incident that happened a few days ago!

A few days ago, the Qinghe Cui clan, the patriarch Cui Junxuan, was discussing something with the clan elders!

"Patriarch, think of a way! If this continues, our Cui family's medicinal herb business will be over, and now it has been robbed of eighty percent of the business by that group of people called Huazi, and it is estimated that we will really have no business in a month at most! A patriarch in charge of the medicinal herb business spoke.

Cui Junqiu frowned and said in a deep voice, "That group of Hanako is so bold that they dare to provoke us?" Aren't they afraid of the government? Did you send someone over and give them a long memory?

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and our Cui clan has officials everywhere, so we can't deal with them? ”

I saw another person speak, "Everyone knows that Bai Fan made a move against our Cui family this time, Bai Fan's identity, and there is a spicy King Jin behind him, so in addition to our descendants with real power officials who can intervene, there are no real power officials in other places, and they don't work at all, and no local chief official wants to provoke King Jin!" ”

The patriarch in charge of medicinal materials said with a bitter face, "The key is that these people called Huazi are not easy to mess with, we once sent people to smash each other's stores, who knew that on that day, all the people in the city called Huazi went, and people could pull out a team of thousands of people casually, and we Cui couldn't help it!"

What's even more hateful is that these people do everything they can, in order to smear our Cui's reputation, they even have a black hand and send people to do things in my Cui's pharmacy all over the country, almost every family will have a person who eats Cui's medicinal materials and dies suddenly, so that the reputation of our Cui's medicinal materials will plummet in a short period of time!

Those people are simply crazy, and they don't even want their lives to steal business from us!

After a long time, except for those who are our own people and old customers, basically no one comes to buy our medicinal materials! ”

Cui Junsui was a little angry for a while, although his Cui family has a big business, but he is desperate for his life with a group of beggars called Huazi? I really can't fight!

If Liu Bus, the shopkeeper of the beggar gang, is here, he will definitely laugh at his ignorance, our gang leader is a benevolent holy hand, how can he really let the brothers fight hard, it is just a pill of fake death and breathlessness, and it will easily crush you!

If Bai Fan heard what he said, he would definitely spurt out a mouthful of old blood in an instant!

I gave Liu Busy a classic case of business warfare, which was carefully selected by himself, and I wanted Liu Busy to use clever means to win Cui's medicinal material business with an overwhelming advantage!

But the bad thing is in this book, Bai Fan also wrote many cases to prevent the other party's malicious competition just in case, such as such a black hand, smashing and robbing, defrauding and bad reputation, etc.!

Who knew that this shopkeeper Liu wanted to avenge the gang earlier, no matter whether it was good or evil, he used any trick, and when he saw this kind of trick, he was more quick and effortless, and he actually vigorously promoted it in various places, so it was only less than three months before he won Cui's eighty percent of the business!

In Cui's mansion, everyone has been discussing for a long time and there are no countermeasures and results!

I saw Cui Junxuan's eldest grandson, Cui Jun, speak, "Grandpa! Why don't we send someone to make peace with the beggars? Our Cui family has a big business, and it is not so easy to overthrow!

The beggars won't fight us to the death, so it's better to take a step back than to lose both! ”

At this time, the others below said that this plan is feasible!

Cui Junxuan said coldly, "Peace? Is Choi going to bow to a gang of Hanako? Don't you know that our mortal enemy Bai Fan is the leader of the beggar gang, will he let us go? People are here for our medicinal herb business!

The two families are in an endless relationship, and it is impossible to make peace! ”

Looking at the firmness on the patriarch's face, one of the clan elders couldn't help but speak, "All the troubles of the Cui clan now come from this person named Bai Fan, why haven't other families made enemies with Bai Fan, and we are mortal enemies?"

From the old man's point of view, it's not that our Cui family and that Bai Fan are enemies, it's just the enemy of you, the patriarch!

The patriarch is high, and he may not know what the sons and daughters below are talking about, the medicinal herb business has lost eighty percent, and many of Cui's sons and daughters are facing livelihood problems, and everyone has already complained!

is saying that the Cui family is here today, because Cui Jian provoked Bai Fan! ”

Cui Junxuan was instantly furious, as the patriarch, he was accused in court?

"Shut up! Bai Fan has ill intentions, he is originally the enemy of my family, what does it have to do with the athletes? Jian'er died in court for Cui's loyalty, do you still want to insult the deceased? ”
