The soldiers were stunned for a while after being scolded. Are they going to suppress the people like last time? They are disaster victims, not enemies.
It would be really cruel if it happens again like last time.
But the officers and soldiers had no choice but to follow the order and leave...
When Nangong Yuanyi saw Tu Kui's ugly face, he really wanted to slap him to death, but the bad guys would naturally have bad guys to deal with him.
The person to take care of him should be on the way.
"Master Tu, what is going on? What do you mean by suppression just now? It really doesn't work. Anyway, there is a lot of food. Donate some food to the people of Zhangzhou and build a porridge shed to provide porridge..."
"Master Yuan, there is no need to be like this." Tu Kui was afraid that he would give the grain to those unruly people for free.
"But if the commotion continues like this, aren't you afraid of causing a riot?" Nangong Yuanyi asked.
"There are only so many people in the city, how can there be riots?" Tu Kui said nonchalantly: "You donated the food, and they are full. Who will come to buy your food? If they dare to cause trouble again, I will Of course there is a way..."
Nangong Yuanyi clenched his fingers and said solemnly: "That's human life."
Tu Kui seemed not to have heard it, and took the initiative to come up with an idea: "I have thought of a good idea. Sir, why don't you take advantage of the fact that there are many people and let the news out that you have food in your hand? I will send people to assist you and spread the news to ten people." , spread the word, and soon the grain in the granary will be sold out."
Nangong Yuanyi said: "What your lord means is that you and I will use these grains to make one of them look bad and the other to look bad."
"I didn't expect Mr. Yuan to know everything. With my help, Mr. Yuan's grain will definitely be sold at a good price in Zhangzhou." Tu Kui didn't feel the crisis at all. He only felt that this batch of grain came at the right time.
"Then just listen to Master Tu." Nangong Yuanyi gritted his teeth.
Outside the yamen, more and more people were seen coming after hearing the news. Prefect Tu seemed to be very good at handling such emergencies. He even sent troops to guard the city gate. In other words, if the people outside the city got the news that there was food in the city, They will also come to Zhangzhou City together.
With officers and soldiers guarding the city, people would naturally not be able to enter the city, unless they wanted to buy food. This was Tu Kui's plan.
I saw officers and soldiers pulling out their swords one after another, but the swords were aimed at ordinary people.
Immediately, the people were so frightened that they backed away and shut up.
Tu Kui seemed quite satisfied when he saw this scene from a distance.
At this time, Tu Kui appeared in everyone's sight wearing an official robe, showing a sanctimonious face, "Fathers and fellow villagers, please be patient for a moment and don't be crowded. I want to ensure that the people of Zhangzhou can survive." We have tried every means to deal with this snow disaster. We are exhausted both mentally and physically and cannot sleep at night.”
"I have already submitted a memorial to the imperial court, and the imperial court's disaster relief grains are also being transported to Zhangzhou, but it will take some time, so during this period, I heard that a big grain merchant came to Zhangzhou, and later I I learned that he has transported grain from Jiangnan, and I have reached an agreement with this businessman. Everyone can freely buy from him, and the price is very reasonable."
At this time, some people raised questions: "Prefect Tu, you were the one who found the former grain merchant in Zhangzhou City. Master Zhu's grain was sold at a sky-high price. We have spent all our savings and can no longer survive. This time the grain merchants How much do you think is a fair price?"
"Yes, Governor Tu, we have no money anymore. We came here because we heard that the government was going to distribute grain to the people for free. How can we buy it again..."
