No wind, no waves!

It may not be without a cause.

Listening to Gu Sanye's words so conclusively, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what else could there be besides natural disasters such as plague and famine that could make several state capitals die in large areas?

As for the ** aspect, Guo Ye completely ignored it, because Datang Chengping has been in peace for more than ten or twenty years, and there has been no war in China for a long time.

And in his impression, it seems that there is no place for chaos in Zhenguan for four years.

Soon, Gu Sanye didn't ask and answered himself, relieved the answer in Guo Ye's heart, and said to himself: "Hey, you guys drink wine and eat meat in our Fenglingdu big bowl, naturally happy!" You don't know that several state capitals in the lower reaches of the Yellow River have long been starving, and the common people have already been starving and making trouble to pick up tree roots, dig Guanyin soil to eat, and in some places, they have already begun to eat each other. ”

Gu Sanye spoke informatively, and his expression was genuine, as if he was in the scene.

"Ah......h

After hearing the word Yi Zi cannibalism, Zhen Niang, who was tearing the white-flour steamed bun with her head down, suddenly stopped her hand, and after exclaiming, she immediately put the white-flour steamed bun back on the plate, looking respectful and reverent, as if she was ashamed that she was wasting food just now.

At this time, there was another buzzing sound in the lobby, as if hundreds of sparrows suddenly flew in from the silent hall, and they were chaotic again.

Guo Ye found the horror and disbelief on everyone's faces, even some Guanzhong swordsmen with long knives on the table, who traveled south and north, and were accustomed to life and death, couldn't help but sigh at each other, shaking their heads.

For a while, there was a noisy discussion in the lobby:

"Over the years, the wind and rain in our Guanzhong area have been smooth, why is there still a famine?"

"Oh my God, there is a famine in several state capitals, hundreds of thousands of people are picking up tree roots, digging Guanyin soil to fill their stomachs, and cannibalism, this, how many people will die?"

"No, at the beginning of last year, I passed by the downstream Changtai Mansion, but I saw that their harvest was quite good."

"Be quiet, be quiet!"

Suddenly, an old man in a gray Confucian shirt stood up in the crowd, waving his arms to stop the gossip in the hall.

Guo Ye saw that he had a burden on his table, and he should be a guest staying in Fenglingdu.

I only heard the old man clasp his fists at Gu Sanye and asked: "Gu Sanye, you are well-informed and well-informed, do you know why several state capitals in the lower reaches of the Yellow River are causing famine for no reason?" ”

Gu Sanye dragged out his nasal voice heavily, mumbled, nodded and replied: "Look at your old clothes, you should be a scholar, right?" You always ask the right person, Gu San has been rooted in Fengling for decades, and he knows the Yellow River well. As for the famine, it is somewhat clear. ”

The old man sighed, arched his hand again at Gu San, and asked, "In this case, I hope that Gu San Ye can explain one or two doubts for me." ”

Gu San saw this old man, who was a scholar but could give face to himself as an innkeeper who did business, so he naturally had a light on his face, and sighed with great satisfaction.

Then he said to him: "Actually, this is all fate, it is said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, we Guanzhong people are the same, relying on the Yellow River to eat the Yellow River, just because of the irrigation of the Yellow River, the land in our Guanzhong area can be fertile, and there is a good harvest every year." But it is precisely because of the Yellow River that several state capitals downstream have all suffered this year! You are all visitors from afar, but you may not know that in the middle of last year, the lower reaches of the Yellow River flooded, but it damaged the people of several state capitals downstream......"

Gu San talked eloquently and said the real reason for the famine downstream, which turned out to be that the lower reaches of the Yellow River overflowed, broke the embankment, overflowed the bank, and rolled the Yellow River, flooding the fields of the Pingchuan River for thousands of miles downstream, destroying the crops on the fertile land for thousands of miles, and causing the people to lose their harvest this year......

I see!

Many guests close to the Guanzhong area nodded their heads, daring that they had heard about it, but they didn't expect it to be so serious.

As for Guo Ye, although he has never said a word, he seems to have some impressions of what Gu San said.

If memory serves, he remembers hearing about it from his father-in-law.

However, at that time, Father-in-law Shun said that the Yellow River disaster and the imperial court provided disaster relief, as for the rest, Father-in-law Shun did not elaborate, and it was far less detailed than what Gu Sanye had obtained.

However, he was very curious, since the imperial court had already begun to provide disaster relief, with His Majesty Li Er's vigorous and resolute style of doing things, how could the people of these downstream state capitals still be so serious?

Then he blurted out at Gu Sanye and asked, "Hasn't the imperial court already arranged disaster relief?" How can the people of several downstream state capitals still suffer such a great crime? ”

As soon as the words fell, a surprise suddenly came: "Huh?? ”

However, this surprise did not come from Gu Sanye, but the old man who asked Gu Sanye a question just now.

I saw that the old man turned his gaze to Guo Ye, stared at him with burning eyes, and asked, "You young man knows a lot, could it be that you are also from Chang'an?" ”

Guo Ye saw that although the old man was a little shabby in his gray and white shirt, the innate momentum of the old man when he asked questions was not something that ordinary businessmen could have.

Especially when he heard the old man's last sentence "You are also from Chang'an", he paid attention, and it was obvious that the old man must be from Chang'an.

Could it be that he's here......

Guo Ye seemed to have thought of something, and then he was not rude, and replied with his fists clenched: "So that the old man knows that the kid is not from Chang'an, but from Shuzhong, and is from Longxi, the capital of Yizhou." ”

As soon as he heard that Guo Ye was not from Chang'an, the old man seemed to have lost interest in inquiring again, but turned his head to look at Gu Sanye, and continued to ask: "Gu Sanye, what this young man said is extremely true, didn't the imperial court send disaster relief silver to several state capitals downstream?" How is it that the people have suffered such great sins? ”

Gu Sanye listened to the conversation between Guo Ye and the old man, and with his decades of experience, he could see that both of them had extraordinary backgrounds.

Immediately, he put away the arrogant look just now, and said with a smile: "You two understand people, the imperial court did send disaster relief silver a month ago, and after passing through our Fenglingdu, I heard that there are 1.5 million guan (tael). But ......."

As soon as the old man heard that Gu Sanye was selling Guanzi again, he kept silent, and immediately his face became extremely anxious, and he asked again and again: "Gu Sanye, but what?" ”

Gu Sanye put away his smile and said with a serious face: "That's it, our Fengling Inn is a small business, and if we continue to talk about it, even someone Gu can't afford it." Everyone, eat and drink well, the wine and meat on the table in the hall today are all considered ancient three. ”

The old man was unwilling, and wanted to ask again, but who knew that the bad old man Gu Sanye was a monkey, so he jumped down the counter with a pout, and hurriedly walked out of the inn door under the pretext that there was something outside.

The rest, except for the praise of the guests in the lobby, praising the ancient third master for righteousness, and the ancient third master's open and generous words, there is nothing else.

Soon, the scene of eating and drinking in the lobby just now returned to the scene of eating and drinking noisy, as if the famine downstream mentioned by Gu Sanye just now had nothing to do with everyone present.

Only two people were still standing, one was the old man in Confucian clothes, and the other was Guo Ye.

The old man stood in place, looking at the door where Gu Sanye had disappeared, and was stunned for a while, and then waved his hand at the two entourages at the same table with interest, whispered a few words, and slowly went up the stairs and returned to the guest room on the second floor of the inn.

As for Guo Ye, although he was standing, his eyes followed the figure of the old man all the way, until the old man walked up the stairs and returned to the room, where he was still standing.

Zhao Jiuchou knew Guo Ye's temperament, and persuaded softly: "My lord, it is important to enter Chang'an and go to the national prison, just as you reprimanded me before, I am not familiar with life, let's not be nosy." ”

Guo Ye glanced back at Zhao Jiuchou and said with a smile: "You learn quite quickly, but this time and that time." The road is uneven, someone is stepping on it, Lao Zhao, hundreds of thousands of people downstream are suffering, how can we turn a blind eye? ”

Zhao Jiuchou knew that he had guessed Guo Ye's thoughts, and couldn't help but say a little angrily: "My lord, what is the situation in the downstream state capitals, you and I don't know, how can we care?" Also, let's come out this time, but you and I, Zhen Niang, don't make a big difference. ”

The implication is to admonish Guo Ye to think twice before acting, behind the scenes of this famine, the water must be deep and turbid, don't moths to the fire, make senseless sacrifices.

Zhao Jiuchou's reminder, Guo Ye naturally knew in his heart, but he still stubbornly shook his head and rejected Zhao Jiuchou's admonition.

Then, he turned his face to the door where the third master disappeared, and said, "This third master is not simple!" ”

After speaking, he raised his right arm and pointed to the position of the staircase on the second floor, and said, "The old man who went upstairs is not simple!" ”

Suddenly, Zhao Jiuchou and Zhen Niang, who bowed her head and were silent, turned their heads to look at the second floor one after another, and Qi Yu aimed their eyes at the room that the old man entered.
