Gu Chengyu frowned when he heard this, Jiangnan is Xia Qing's ancestral land. Xia has been entrenched in Jiangnan for a long time and has become the leader of Jiangnan.

Whether it is a businessman or a local official, they all respect the Xia family. If he wants to implement his plan, he must first do something to the Xia family.

So he began to make serious arrangements a few days ago, and he wrote a secret letter to the emperor, and he was afraid that he had already arrived in the capital at this time.

Now it depends on whether the emperor can understand his intentions, and he has to find something to do for Xia Qing, so that Xia Qing can focus on him and hinder his plan.

I don't know when the relief money from the imperial court will arrive, and the victims won't be able to wait long. He is also aggrieved, he has no money, no food, and a mess waiting for him as soon as he arrives in Jiangnan.

Gu Chengyu frowned, of course the rise in rice prices must be curbed, but it is not yet time.

Those who hoard rice and grain, he naturally has a way to make them spit it out obediently.

"My lord, how should the victims be resettled? As soon as the number of victims increases, conflicts continue. Grabbing land and food, we have stopped several fights. There are also many victims who heard that someone could go into the city to do things, but they were not convinced, and they had nothing to do all day long. ”

Mingmo is worried, not suffering from widowhood but unevenness. Everyone is in the same situation, so these people naturally have no hope.

But they are also disaster victims, and some people can go into the city to work, not only for wages, but also for two meals. Seeing that he and his family are dying of hunger, how can these people endure it?

Gu Chengyu was not surprised to hear this news, he had long expected such a consequence.

It is impossible for Hangtianfu to accept so many disaster victims, and of course they will not all go to the city to work as river workers.

"You go to Yang Chaoying with my seal letter and order him to register the victims and temporarily divide them into two groups, one of which will send someone to escort them to Yingnan Mansion."

Gu Chengyu felt that the number of people at the moment was almost there, and he could send half of them to Yingnan Mansion. There were too few people before, and it was very inconvenient to divide it into several batches, so it was better to send it over at once.

"But my lord, will the people be willing to leave? And didn't Yingnanfu not agree to accept the victims? ”

Mingmo's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he thought his family would be too optimistic?

Gu Chengyu sneered when he heard this, "Don't agree? This can't help him Li Taixing, what qualifications does he have to disagree? You ask Ming Yan to follow those victims with three T-shaped generations, and make sure that they arrive safely in Yingnan Mansion. ”

Gu Chengyu has calculated, from here to Yingnan Mansion, ordinary people estimate that they have to walk for three or four days, but most of these victims are old and weak, women and children. It's been a long time since I've had a full meal, and I might have to add two more days to that time.

"Before you arrive at Yingnan Mansion, I will hurry over. Li Taixing has a handle in my hands, plus the Shang Fang Sword in my hand is restrained, he dares to disagree? ”

Gu Chengyu didn't have a good impression of this person, he had conspired with King Jing to calculate him at the beginning, but he hadn't settled accounts with this person! Now that he has arrived in Jiangnan, he still has to avenge his previous revenge?

"But now that the victims are penniless and have not eaten for several days, can they go to Yingnanfu? What to eat on the road? ”

Mingmo has always been careful in his work, and it is nothing to escort him all the way, he sees which blind mountain bandit can send it to the door by himself.

Besides, these victims are in rags, and they know that they are refugees at a glance, and the mountain bandits don't look down on them. If there is no money, who will rob it?

"Forget it, you go and invite Governor Yang over, I have something to discuss with him."

Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment, and felt that he still had to drink Yang Chaoying to make it clear in person, after all, this was his Hangtian Mansion.

"Oh! And Master Hu, please come together! ”

After a while, Yang Chaoying arrived at the study where Gu Chengyu was.

"Master Gu! How can the more and more people from outside the city gather? ”

As soon as he entered the house, Yang Chaoying wiped a handful of sweat beads from his head.

He met Mingmo on the way to Gu Chengyu's study, and as soon as he learned that Gu Chengyu was looking for him, he immediately came to the study in a hurry.

"Lord Yang, don't worry, please drink tea first to ease your breath. When Lord Hu comes, let's negotiate the disaster victims together. ”

Hu Maoshen came soon, and he couldn't sleep at night in worry for the past two days. As soon as he entered the house, he asked the same question as Yang Chaoying.

After Gu Chengyu saluted, he smiled slightly. Knowing that these two people were in a hurry, he simply didn't sell it and cut straight to the point.

"The official intends to divide the victims into two parts, one of which will go to Yingnan Mansion, and now Hangtian Mansion has nowhere to stay."

Hu Mao pondered for a moment, then twisted his eyebrows and said: "We have discussed it before going to Yingnan Mansion, but this is a long way, and it is impossible for so many people to hire a carriage, so how to arrange the food for the victims on the road?" Besides, the government has to send people to protect their safety, and if something goes wrong along the way, we won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

There must have been quite a few people who went to Yingnanfu, and according to the number of people outside, it was estimated that there must be at least seven or eight thousand. With so many people, they can't afford to afford something on the way.

"The official called four entourages to follow, plus a few officials in Lord Yang's mansion, so there is no need to worry about safety. As for eating, it's better to solve. All the victims who followed them to Yingnanfu were given three steamed buns per person every day until they arrived in Yingnanfu. When you arrive in Yingnan Mansion, you don't have to worry about eating. ”

Gu Chengyu felt that these were not problems, and the most troublesome thing was how to deal with Li Taixing.

But he already has a countermeasure, so he is not worried.

"Dare to ask Master Gu, how do you plan to solve this food?"

Yang Chaoying couldn't understand that Gu Chengyu had solved the matter so lightly, but the problem was the root of the matter that had not been solved!

Even Hu Maoshen looked at it, and he was very curious.

"Isn't this a warehouse? Open the granary and take out some of it first, it should be okay. ”

Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl, thinking in his heart that the grain in the warehouse was a waste, it was all moldy, and if he didn't take it out to help the victims, the court would be too rigid.

Even if you have to take precautions, you can't let the victims go hungry, and the food in the warehouse is fed to the mice, right?

Isn't man as precious as a rat? These rats are fat and strong, but the people are skinny and skinny, which is ridiculous.

Yang Chaoying opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and was stunned for a long time, and then shook his head into a rattle.

"No, no! Without an order from the imperial court, the granary must not be opened. Otherwise, the emperor will blame him, and the official will not be able to eat and walk around. Even Lord Gu, you are not immune! ”

Yang Chaoying didn't expect Gu Chengyu to have the idea of a granary, it was really fatal, it was crazy.

"It's just that it was taken out first for emergency relief, the time is too short, and the official has no time to prepare food. If you borrow it from the granary, you will be able to pay it off in less than three days. ”
