Chapter 909: I can't hold my breath

Looking at this person's adoring eyes, it didn't seem to be fake, Gu Chengyu felt that it was not bad to gain a fan brother.

If this person is literate and hyphenated and has some influence among the victims, he can be called to do things for him. Dealing with these victims will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Lord Qincha, with your words, we are finally relieved. During these days, we have nowhere to stay, and we are very panicked, and we don't know what to do in the future. Now that we have Lord Qincha to take care of us, we all feel that our days are also rushing. ”

"That's right! As I said before, Lord Chincha will not leave us alone. ”

"Yes, yes! We still have to rely on Lord Qincha to plan for us, little old man is here to thank Lord Qincha! ”

It may be that the rice on the carriages has won the hearts of the victims, and they worship Gu Chengyu very much at the moment.

Then a few more people knelt down and thanked Gu Chengyu repeatedly!

"Rest assured, this official will definitely do what he says!" Gu Chengyu stepped forward to help him again, and he helped one of the old men nearby.

At this moment, Gu Chengyu was also moved by the trust and admiration of these victims, and he felt that he was not doing this entirely for political achievements, but mostly for the lives of these victims!

"My lord, please keep your promise and help us rebuild our hometown!"

One of them cried and wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then knelt down as well.

To this day, they finally see it. If you want to say who in the imperial court can still care about them, it is the young adult in front of him.

Didn't there be a Chincha-sama before? Isn't that the Lord unable to place them?

"My lord! Please save us! When the rest of the victims saw this, they also knelt down.

The only thing they can ask for now is Gu Chengyu, and the anxiety and uneasiness they have been feeling for days are simply overwhelming.

Nowhere to live, starvation, nothing but hope.

If the government ignores them, what will they do? Have you been an outcast?

Gu Chengyu stood in place, looking at the yellow-skinned victim with hope on his face, he finally softened his heart.

That's it! Do not seek to be famous in history, but to be worthy of your heart.

Mingmo also touched a lot in their hearts, looking at the tens of thousands of victims who knelt on the ground in front of them, kneeling at the feet of adults, their hearts were also surging with passion.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Since the official has agreed, of course he will do his best to do it, so get up! ”

What he promised before was that as long as he was in Jiangnan for a day, he would plan for these victims.

But if the emperor transfers him out of the capital, then he can only whip him out of reach, and sigh with joy!

Moved to be moved, soft-hearted to soft-hearted, he will not promise anything brainlessly. The emperor will definitely send another official to take over the post-disaster reconstruction work.

"Mingmo, you send someone to the treasury to carry the copper coins, and start distributing the money now." Gu Chengyu had two days ago ask people to go to the money bank to exchange the silver for copper coins.

Mingmo commanded everyone to escort the grain carts back to the city, leaving only three carts of grain.

The grain cart marched towards the city again, and even the people in the city were attracted to it.

"Look! I was at the gate of the city just now, and I heard that this is the grain that Lord Chincha bought from other state capitals, and I heard that this time I brought back about five or six hundred stones! He also said that other food was still on the way. ”

A citizen looked at the grain carts and said enviously.

"Our city is about to run out of food, I go to the rice store every day empty-handed, and the rice jar at home is empty, and I don't know what to do."

One of them sighed as he looked at the carriage, his eyes fixed on the sacks, and refused to move them for a moment.

"It's all to blame on the merchants, they have collected all the grain in the vicinity, that is, the farmers have no food in their hands. If we want to buy food, we must buy it in their hands. The children in the family are hungry, and the price is higher when it is higher, but these rice shops are not open recently! One interjected angrily.

"They're waiting to sell for a high price! Isn't it just to sell grain now so that it can be sold several times more in the future? I heard that Lord Chincha forbade them to sell grain at a high price, but what is the use of this? They don't sell it now, what can we do with them? ”

sighed again, exhausting the sourness and helplessness in his heart.

"Huh? You say, let's go to the government office and ask if Lord Qincha sells grain!" It doesn't make sense that they can eat the victims, we can't eat it! ”

"Yes! The cousin of my nephew's nephew and son-in-law of my third uncle and grandmother is working as a servant in the government office, and I asked someone to ask if I could buy food! ”

"Good, good! Hurry up and ask someone, if I can buy it, I can also get some light. "It's clearly an acquaintance.

Gu Chengyu climbed up the city tower and looked at the orderly below. While taking the money and selling rice at the same time, there was no mess, and he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

He set the price of brown rice at 10 wen a catty, which is actually very low.

Because he asked Mingmo to buy brown rice, not rice. Mingmo said just now, the cost price is six wen a catty.

Although Sunan Mansion is some distance from the flood-stricken area, people also know that Changtianfu has been hit by the disaster, so the price of food in Sunan Mansion has risen.

Before, it was still four cents a catty, but it rose by two cents, after all, it was the purchase price, which was expensive.

And there is a lot of money on the road, so much grain is transported back, and it doesn't cost money? So Shiwen is not expensive at all.

And before, the price of grain in Yingnanfu City had been sold to more than 30 wen a catty, but now it is 40 wen, and no one is willing to sell it.

Mingmo stood beside Gu Chengyu, looking at the victims who got the food below and were happy, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Your Excellency!" He wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Gu Chengyu's gesture.

Gu Chengyu made a silent gesture, and then smiled: "How can you be so breathless?" Let's talk about it later! ”

......

"Master, it's not good, there are a lot of grain trucks entering the city and going straight to the government."

A steward hurried into the outer courtyard and said to the old man who was checking the account books.

"What? Grain carts? Where did the grain cart come from? Ju Haoming stood up suddenly, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Sir, several grain trucks have just entered the city. The villain went to inquire and said that it was the grain that Lord Qincha had brought from other state capitals. ”

The steward's face was eager, and he looked at the old man's face a little worried.

Ju Haoming's face turned pale, "You go check it out and see what's going on?" ”

He was very worried now, if Gu Chengyu could only buy so much grain, even if he sold it all at a low price, he would not be afraid.

But what he was worried about was that Gu Chengyu had the ability to buy a steady stream of food from other places. No, this matter has to be reported to the adults quickly.

"Yes!" The steward stopped talking, but when he saw his master's solemn expression, he had to swallow his words.
