，

Hu Maoshen was also very opposed, since he came to Jiangnan, it had nothing to do with this matter.

Even if the disaster relief is now led by Gu Chengyu, once the emperor blames him, he has nowhere to escape.

But at this time, listening to Gu Chengyu say that there was a way to return the food, he was curious, and then asked, "Then what good plan do you have?" You also know that this matter is not trivial, without an order from the imperial court, we will open a warehouse and embezzle grain without permission, if the imperial court blames it, we can't afford it. Even if you are valued by the emperor, those courtiers will not let you go. ”

Gu Chengyu naturally understood the power of it, if he wasn't sure, he would be able to open this mouth easily? He's not stupid.

"Lord Yang just do it, and the official will take care of it."

Gu Chengyu naturally has this confidence, in fact, the food in his space has been piled up, but he has no reason to take it out.

But the problem will be solved soon, and the time has come.

Yang Chaoying opened his mouth to speak, and then after thinking about it, he didn't say anything more.

Gu Chengyu knew that he agreed, and after getting along for a few days, he found that Yang Chaoying was a showy person.

In fact, he is bold and careful, and his appearance looks like a wooden one, and it seems that he is still not a good person.

"Next, you put down the work of diverting the river embankment in your hands, and hand these over to Duan Langzhong and them, we have something to do!"

Gu Chengyu's eyes were shining, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, as if he was in the chest.

Hu Maoshen and Yang Chaoying glanced at each other, only to see that the other party had some doubts on their faces.

……

"Shopkeeper! Those people gathered in front of our rice shop and refused to leave, saying that they still wanted to buy rice. ”

A fellow trotted into the inner room to say goodbye while rubbing his sleeve to the sweat stains on his forehead.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward, opened the curtain a crack, and saw that the people outside were still stuck in the shop and refused to leave, while the guys were busy driving people out of the door, and the shopkeeper was even more worried.

The curtain of the door was lowered, and the shopkeeper was in a hurry.

He had told the owner before that he should not sell grain now, but the owner did not listen at all. He knew that the owner was kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to store grain, watching the people starving, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs!

The Xia's rice shop has opened a lot of homes in major prefectures and cities, and now it is not also collecting grain everywhere outside?

Are they here to sell? Isn't it for the sake of making a windfall after the price of food rises?

Where do other rice shops dare to go against Xia? Aren't they all the heads of the Xia family?

Only their Li family and the Zhang family in the west of the city sold some grain every now and then, otherwise the people in the city would have been cut off a long time ago.

But their Li family and Zhang family are just small families, and the Li family lives on the shadow of their ancestors. Now the Li family is getting worse and worse, and it has become a small merchant family in the city, which is not as good as the generation of the ancestors who made a fortune.

Can such a small family resist a behemoth like the Xia family? That's a fantasy.

If it weren't for the fact that the Li family had been doing business for so many years, I am afraid that they would have been squeezed out of the survival by those wealthy families.

Even so, it's really uncomfortable to survive in the cracks!

"Tell your shopkeepers to come out, you don't sell rice in the rice shop, what else do you do? What do you want? We are all cut off, and if we don't buy rice, we will starve to death, what about your conscience? Is it the same as other families, I want to store grain, so that I can sit on the ground and raise the price? ”

A young man dressed as a scholar was filled with indignation, carrying an empty cloth bag in one hand and tapping the counter with a folding fan in the other.

"That's right! Call your shopkeeper to come out, every time we buy rice, we are in your rice shop, they are all familiar faces, your shopkeeper and the owner are not authentic this time! ”

There are also people on the side who should respond, and they are all old customers of Li's rice shop. He came three times, and didn't rush once.

Seeing these people's attitude, the shopkeeper's anger also rose.

He lifted the curtain of the door and went from the inner room to the outside, "Everyone, please be calm! Everyone in the whole city went to ask, except for our rice shop and the Zhang family, who is still opening a shop now? In order to prevent the people from starving, the proprietor made up his mind and opened the rice shop as usual. For this, he also paid a lot of price. Our Li family's grain storage is not much, so in order for everyone to buy rice, we also raise grain everywhere, which offends many people. You say that, it really makes our Mi Xing feel cold! ”

When Shopkeeper Li said this, he almost burst into tears.

He is the son of the Li family, his father almost starved to death back then, if it wasn't for the Li family to take him in, where would he get him now?

Now that he is old, he has been put outside the house to do a stewardship, and it can be regarded as giving him some dignity, and such a good master is really nowhere to be found.

Although the Li family is a family of merchants, the main family is benevolent, righteous and kind, and the reputation in this Hangtian Mansion is well known.

Now that he has been wronged by these people like this, Shopkeeper Li is so angry that he trembles.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Li was angry, everyone in the shop was also a little embarrassed, and everyone couldn't help but quiet down.

In fact, why don't they know that it makes a lot of sense? But if you don't have food to eat, don't you starve to death?

Adults can endure it for a few days, but children can't!

"Shopkeeper Li, we also know that your owner is a good person, and we are also in a hurry, so we don't choose what to say, and please forgive Shopkeeper Li!"

One of the old men walked out, his face slightly flushed and his expression even more ashamed.

The entire Hang Tianfu didn't dare to say that who in the city didn't know the name of the Li family? I heard that a few days ago, the Li family was still giving porridge to the victims outside the city gate, and this is indeed a kind and charitable family.

They persecute others like this, and they are indeed wrong, and they also seem ungrateful.

"That's right! It's ours, but we're also being forced to be anxious. Seeing that there is no rice to cook at home, the two-year-old child is so hungry that he has lost a lot of weight, I am so anxious! Please also ask your hosts to do a good job and sell some more rice. ”

One person proposed, and everyone agreed. They really can't help it, the other rice shops are all guarded by the iron general, and only the Li family and the Zhang family sell rice from time to time.

Zhang's shop is small, and it was sold out as soon as it was brought out. Only the Li family, the rice grain can be slightly more, but that is also a drop in the bucket.

"Everyone, it's not that our Li family doesn't want to sell rice, but our Li family doesn't have any rice, let's go back!"

......

Gu Chengyu rushed out of the city in a carriage, he had to understand the situation of the victims in the past few days, and then there was still a tough battle to be fought.

As soon as the carriage drove to Xicheng, Gu Chengyu heard the noise from a distance.

He opened the curtain and looked out, and found a group of people in front of a shop, and then looked at the signboard on it - Lee's Rice Shop.

"Mingmo! Check it out! Gu Chengyu commanded in a deep voice.
