Chapter 867: A penny is hard to beat a hero

Without the support of money, who is willing to give for free? Even with Yang Chaoying's prestige, he will use his feelings to understand reason, and let the people volunteer to become river workers.

But after all, this thing can't be done in a day or two, it must take months, and the people can be happy?

Besides, they can't even get the food of the river workers in Hangtianfu now, and this money is difficult for heroes!

"Master Gu! It's not that the official doesn't agree with this plan, but that we really don't have silver taels and grain to support this project. ”

After Yang Chaoying finished speaking, he looked at Gu Chengyu helplessly, and sighed deeply.

"It's up to Lord Yang! Lord Yang is the prefect of Hangtian Mansion, and Lord Yang is responsible for raising money. ”

Gu Chengyu couldn't see the other party's behavior of completely throwing the pot like this, and he might offend many people by raising silver taels next.

Although he is a Beijing official, he will return to the capital immediately after the disaster relief, and it is nothing for him to come forward.

But Yang Chaoying plans to sit back and enjoy the success, the disaster relief is done, and the emperor rewards it, and Yang Chaoying will also have a credit.

If you don't do something, you just want to take credit, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

So he has to say ugly things in front now, otherwise when it is really implemented, Yang Chaoying will definitely shirk.

When Yang Chaoying heard this, he immediately wrinkled his face into a bitter gourd face, "Master Gu! Where can this official raise so much silver? That's not a small amount! You can't get more than 100,000 taels of silver, right? ”

This is still the lowest amount that Yang Chaoying expected, so much silver, even if he sold it, he didn't have it.

It is unlikely that the imperial court will issue so much disaster relief silver, and it seems that the diversion of the river will not work.

If this thing can really be done, not only Gu Chengyu's political achievements, but he can also follow the light, this is a move that benefits the people's livelihood!

The emperor naturally will not blame, but will praise him.

Even if there are Hu Maoshen and Gu Chengyu in front of them, then they eat meat and drink some soup by themselves, right?

Didn't he still want to find an opportunity to cling to Hu Maoshen so that he could move his ass? Isn't now the opportunity?

It's just that he just heard what Gu Chengyu meant, and he was really embarrassed that he had to hand over the matter of this silver to himself!

Although Gu Chengyu has the same grade as him, he is a Beijing official, and he is also highly valued by the emperor, which can he be compared to a prefect?

Besides, Gu Chengyu is a messenger, if this matter is pressed on his head, if he can't raise the silver, Gu Chengyu will go to the emperor to sue him again, then won't he even be crumbling to the position of the prefect?

I have to say that Yang Chaoying has countless thoughts in his heart for a while. This is also worried, that is also afraid, and his face suddenly becomes gloomy.

"Gu Shaoqing, you also know the situation of Hang Tianfu, with so much silver, I'm afraid Hang Tianfu can't take it out."

Hu Maoshen also felt that Gu Chengyu was a little difficult for a strong man, and saw that Yang Chaoying was so sad that he wanted to cry without tears, so he hurriedly said to help.

Gu Chengyu smiled, "Naturally, it is impossible for Lord Yang to raise it alone, as long as Lord Yang does what the official instructs, the official guarantees that Lord Yang will be able to raise enough silver taels." ”

"Oh? What's your plan? Hu Maoshen's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

Yang Chaoying also came to his senses when he heard this, and even Duan Zhijie was shocked in his heart.

Three pairs of eyes looked at Gu Chengyu fixedly, but Gu Chengyu smiled.

"You can't reveal it here, but when the time comes, you will know."

"Oh! Look at my memory! Yang Chaoying slapped his forehead suddenly, ashamed of his stupid behavior.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please go to the backyard of the government to rest, the two Qin are tired of traveling and driving, and they must be tired and panicked. This time, I have to thank Lord Gu for saving his life, otherwise this official would have died at the hands of that person a long time ago. I didn't expect that this official was negligent for a while and let you stay here for so long, it's really rude! ”

Yang Chaoying suddenly felt embarrassed, others saved his life, and he didn't thank him before.

After learning that the two were sent by the imperial court, they actually dragged people to greet them at the city gate, which was really against the way of hospitality.

If you run into a small-bellied chicken intestine, you will slander yourself in your heart for being so lazy, because you can't look down on the Qincha assigned by the emperor!

"It was also because of an emergency just now, and the official can understand what is inappropriate! Governor Yang doesn't have to blame himself! ”

Hu Maoshen said a few words, and then turned his gaze to the place where the victims gathered.

Gu Chengyu immediately stepped on the horse, he remembered that Min Feng, who was still hiding in the mansion, now had to go to settle accounts with the other party.

"Please also take the carriage, the official's carriage is just behind!"

The distance between the government and the city gate was not close, and Gu Chengyu didn't want to walk over.

"What should we do with the victims?" Hu Maoshen pointed to the victims in the distance and asked in a deep voice.

Gu Chengyu glanced back when he heard this, and found that those victims were quite obedient at the moment, and they were all resting in a clearing.

Fortunately, it is not raining anymore at the moment, otherwise the victims would not even have a place to shelter from the rain.

Gu Chengyu was silent for a long time, and his eyes accurately captured a cyan figure.

"Who's that?" He pointed to the cyan figure and asked Yang Chaoying.

Yang Chaoying looked over there, he didn't have Gu Chengyu's good eyesight, so he naturally couldn't see it very clearly.

But the other party's stiff back and blue clothes made him remember deeply.

"This should be the head of River Village, who has a high reputation among the villagers. And it should be a bit of writing and ink, and he doesn't speak as vulgar as those country people! ”

Yang Chaoying had a deep influence on the other party, because when the villagers of Hecun had just arrived outside the city, he had seen this old man, a wise old man!

"River Village?" Gu Chengyu would notice that the other party was also because of the other party's outstanding performance before, and when there was chaos at that time, his attitude towards stopping the villagers of River Village was so resolute.

"Someone! You go and invite the village chief of River Village, and the official wants to see him!" Gu Chengyu ordered an errand guard at the gate of the city and asked him to go and invite the old man over.

The official immediately and respectfully agreed, this is the work assigned to him by Lord Chincha, how dare he slack off? Then he trotted towards two miles outside the city.

The victims were paying attention to Gu Chengyu's movements, and when they saw that this evil god was still greeting others at the gate of the city, their hearts were sudden.

Pity the straw hut they built before, it seems that it is not usable.

Now I don't know how this Lord Qincha is going to settle them, and judging from the attitude of Lord Qincha just now, it is estimated that it will not be good.

Since ancient times, officials have protected each other, and they almost tied up Lord Yang just now, so Lord Yang will definitely not think about them anymore.

At this moment, when they saw a servant suddenly running towards them, they immediately stood up in fright, not knowing what this person would convey to Lord Chincha.
