Cao Bin smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? When you make porridge from now on, make it as unpalatable as you can, and then add some loess and sand into it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Chasan had already glared at him.
Everyone looked at Cao Bin in disbelief, as if they didn't expect that he had such an evil idea.
Fat Zhizhou even wiped his sweat repeatedly and said: "Uncle, doing this will easily arouse the resentment of the people, right?"
At this moment, Jiang Ping, the river rat behind Yan Chasan, raised his palms and praised:
"Uncle, it's a good idea. In this way, as long as people are not too hungry, they will naturally not want to eat a second bowl."
"This will not only prevent people from starving to death, but also save a lot of food. What a great idea!"
After sighing, he continued to explain:
"How can people who are about to starve to death have any grievances? To them, grass roots and tree bark are all fragrant."
"If there is any real grievance, it is those who fish in troubled waters. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just arrest them."
Fat Zhizhou suddenly realized it and nodded repeatedly:
"What a great idea. I'm really resourceful. I admire you."
The others also looked impressed. They didn't expect Cao Bin to have such a crooked talent.
Cao Bin waved his hand proudly and said: "Following the prize, giving the prize, it's all trivial."
At this moment, he deeply felt that his TV series had not been in vain, and at least he had learned some emergency skills in disaster relief.
Yan Chasan also had to admit that this was indeed a good idea, and he even understood the meaning of human nature.
He looked at Fat Zhizhou and said, "So, Wang Zhizhou should have no problem, right?"
The smile on Fat Zhizhou's face suddenly stopped and he reluctantly said:
"Commander, please do your best!"
Yan Chasan said categorically:
"It's not about trying your best, it's about being determined. You have to persist for at least a month!"
"And every penny of food must be spent on the victims."
"I will strictly check your accounts."
Fat Zhizhou shook the fat on his face, wiped the sweat with a handkerchief, nodded with all his strength and said:
"Hey... Mr. Yan, don't worry, our Jeju officials will never be corrupt."
As soon as everyone entered the city gate, a government servant came to report:
"My lord, Lord Yanzhou Chang has arrived and is waiting for you all at Taibai Tower."
Fat Zhizhou was startled and said eagerly:
"Master Chang has actually arrived in person. The two imperial envoys should quickly follow the officials to pay their respects."
When Cao Bin heard this, he suddenly realized.
The letter that Master Pang wrote to himself was addressed to Master Chang Fengchang.
He was the pacification envoy of Jingdong Road and judged Yanzhou affairs. He controlled the military affairs of a province and was also responsible for supervising the states of Shandong. He held a high and powerful position.
With him taking care of me, my errand will be much easier.
Therefore, he also wanted to meet this person as soon as possible.
In a short time, everyone followed Fat Zhizhou to the downstairs of Taibai.
This restaurant has three floors. It was still full of red lights in the evening.
The second brother shuttled back and forth, showing a peaceful and prosperous scene.
Yan Chasan and others frowned when they saw this.
At this time, a middle-aged man in official uniform with a majestic face came out, smiled and said:
"The two imperial envoys have finally arrived. I am waiting for you like a drought-stricken seedling waiting for the rain, haha..."
Fat Zhizhou quickly introduced: "Two imperial envoys, this is Lord Chang."
After saluting, Chang Feng patted Cao Bin's shoulder affectionately and said:
"Uncle Cao, how good is the old master?"
"It's your first time traveling far away. Are you still used to it? We are all our own people. If you feel any discomfort, you must tell Chang!"
Cao Bin showed a bright smile:
"Everything is fine, Grand Master, and there's nothing I'm not used to. Sir Lao Chang is worried about it."
Chang Feng nodded repeatedly and said: "That's good, that's good."
As he spoke, he took Cao Bin's hand and said:
"Come on, come on, I've invited a lot of local gentry to help you today. I won't ask for their help in this disaster relief effort."
Afterwards, he gave a brief introduction before saying confidently:
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will go wrong on your errand."
"Whoever dares to raise a hand on this matter will ruin your future. I will never sit idly by."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to the Grand Master!"
Seeing his enthusiastic look, Cao Bin couldn't help but sigh, there is someone in the court who is easy to be an official.
With a treacherous minister like Taishi Pang taking care of him, and his comrades everywhere outside the capital, if it is true as the person in front of him said, then the disaster relief work can be considered completely completed.
Suichang sealed the third floor, and after everyone took their seats, the second brother had already started serving food.
What surprised Cao Bin was that the dishes at Taibailou were unexpectedly good, and were no less good than those in the capital.
Everything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, and runs in the mountains is extremely rich.
In a short time, Nuo Da's dining table was already covered with dishes and all kinds of meat and vegetables.
Fat Zhizhou stood up and said humbly: "The banquet is shabby, your lords, please make do with some of it."
Yan Chasan looked at the sumptuous banquet and couldn't help but sarcastically said:
"Is this called shabby? I have never had such a sumptuous meal in Tokyo. The year of great disaster has passed, right?"
His words immediately made the local officials present a little uneasy.
Fat Zhizhou wiped his sweat nervously and explained quickly: "We also want to support the two imperial envoys, just a little thought, a little heart..."
Chang Feng laughed when he saw this, pointed at Fat Zhizhou with his chopsticks and said:
"Master Wang, this is your fault. In a year of great disaster, it is better to be simple."
"You are so extravagant and wasteful, be careful that Yan Qin will read your book in front of the officials!"
Fat Zhizhou wiped his sweat repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, Master Chang said that it is Meng Lang who has been demoted."
After saying that, he quickly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come here, take the dishes away quickly!"
Cao Bin had already raised his chopsticks, but when he saw the waiter coming to remove the dishes, he immediately stopped:
"Damn it, who asked you to withdraw it? There are so many good wines and dishes that have been prepared. If you withdraw them, wouldn't it be a waste?"
"I'm most annoyed by those of you who are making superficial remarks!"
Although he said this, he had his own considerations in mind.
Although he is an imperial envoy and can control these local officials, but now that he has just arrived, his eyesight is dark.
You have to overturn the table when you come, it’s a little too fast. If no one cooperates by then, won’t you just sit on the wax?
Although Chang Feng claims to be one of our own, he may not be very trustworthy, and he doesn't look like a good person.
...Of course, good people will not be with Grand Master Pang.
Although Cao Bin did not have much political wisdom, he also knew that a strong dragon would not overwhelm a local snake, so he first coaxed them to distribute the relief materials.
If he becomes a mere commander, he can't distribute food to the victims himself, right?
Hearing what Cao Bin said, the local officials immediately relaxed, but Fat Zhizhou looked at Chang Feng with embarrassment.
Chang Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "What Uncle Cao said makes sense. I won't do it next time!"
But seeing Cao Bin's behavior, the smile in his eyes became more natural.
Yan Chasan glanced at Cao Bin with a gloomy expression, not knowing what to say.
Chang Feng saw Cao Bin eating happily and asked inadvertently:
"Uncle Cao, I heard that in addition to 500,000 shi of grain, the imperial court also allocated 3 million taels of silver?"
Cao Bin raised his head and glanced at him, took a sip of tea slowly, wiped his mouth and said:
"Yes, the imperial court is afraid that there will be insufficient food and grass, so it ordered me to purchase food with silver to make up for the shortage..."
A gentleman asked anxiously: "Uncle Cao, at what price do you plan to buy grain?"
When he asked this question, all the gentry and officials present pricked up their ears.
