Xu He naturally couldn't make the decision on such a big matter.
After coming out of the Yamen, he didn't even bother to go around Lao Hu's house. He went directly to Fenghuang Dun.
Hearing that Chen Hua asked Xu He to go to the salt field, Xu Song frowned and said, "He said it would only take three days?"
Xu He nodded and said: "And County Magistrate Chen allocated three days of food and grass for me to take with me!"
Xu Song nodded: "If that's the case, it's not very dangerous. You should take Xu Yong with you when you go!"
Xu He shook his head. It wasn't that he looked down on the lame Yong Bo, but in the face of so many people, the few experts Yong Bo brought to guard the hospital were basically just pretending and had no deterrent effect at all.
Xu Song thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of our family's beaches near those four salt fields. In this way, if you go there with my handwritten letter, you can ask them for help if you have any difficulties!"
Xu He was overjoyed. If he had local people, then things would be much simpler.
After returning home from Xu Song's house, Mrs. Xie heard that her son was going out again just a few days after he came back. She sighed and said, "In the past, I always looked forward to your success, but now that you have made it, my mother is looking forward to you becoming a good person." Just ordinary people!"
Gu Hengbo held Xie's hand and comforted him: "Mom, don't worry, my brother is a lucky one and everything will be fine!"
They say that behind every successful man there is a good woman.
It’s true!
If an ordinary woman hears that her sweetheart is leaving, she will be reluctant to leave him.
But their knowledge is obviously not as good as Sister Gu.
How can a good man with ambitions everywhere be stuck in his private house because of his children's affair, playing games with women all day long?
That wasn't for his own good, it was harming him.
Xu He went out this time and called the Ding Ze brothers and sisters, and also invited the waiter.
Xu Peng was worried and wanted to go with him, but Nuo Da's family encountered refugees pouring into the city again. Xu He would not be at ease if he also followed.
In the end, Xu He only brought brother and sister Ding Ze, Xiaoer and Wu Decao with him.
Before departure, it was Qiu Hushu from Hufang who was responsible for the escort task in the Yamen.
"Mr. Xu, before you come here, the second master asked me to give you a message, saying what happened? You were sent by the eldest master, and you were away from home for so many days. He is so anxious!" Qiu Hushu avoided it! A group of government officials and soldiers from Hailing Qianhu Office whispered.
Xu He thought for a while and wrote to Qiu Hu: "The eldest master is so anxious to send someone. I got the job in the morning and set off in the afternoon. I really am not avoiding the county magistrate!"
"But..." Xu He thought for a moment and said, "In this case, you ask a white servant to go back and help me pass a message. Xu He will definitely think of something when he comes back this time!"
Qiu Hushu called for a white servant who was on duty. After gesticulating for a long time, he let the man go.
When the grain transport team left Hailing in a mighty manner, Xu He was shocked by the scene in front of him as soon as he left the city.
I saw that from the base of the wall, stretching for several miles, were the thatched shacks built by the common people using bamboo poles and branches.
Along the way, everyone, men, women, old and young, all looked at the motorcade passing by with blank eyes. There were ignorant little children following them, looking at the motorcade curiously, and laughing with their friends around them as they ran.
Seeing this, Xu He wrote to Qiu Hu on the side: "Does the Yamen send people out to set up a porridge shop every day?"
Qiu Hushu flattered him and said: "It is said that a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. Mr. Xu is amazing! Starting from the day before yesterday, a porridge shop was set up outside the city, but it was at the north gate. You didn't see it. How did you know?" "
Xu He smiled, pointed at the refugees and their children and said, "Seeing that the grain carts are not gathering, but the children still have the energy to chase and play, it means there is food in their stomachs!"
Qiu Hushu thought he heard it from the elder, but he actually heard it through his own observation. The flattery just now suddenly turned into a little admiration.
"At least the person in front of me is not a sour scholar who doesn't understand anything!" Qiu Hushu thought to himself.
But he laughed at himself, a talented scholar from a small county, prefecture, and Taoist province is a fool?
He wrote calculations in the county government office and had studied for two years. In the early years, when he first entered the government office, he had actively thought about taking the imperial examination and becoming an official. However, after studying for one year, he was delayed by the intermittent social activities. In addition, there was a lot of oil and water in the house, so he gradually gave up his thoughts.
Therefore, he sincerely admired Xu He.
Only those who have experienced that kind of difficulty can feel incredible about Xu He's achievements today.
Looking at the young man sitting on the horse in front of him who was thinking about his thoughts, Qiu Hushu thought to himself: "You have to listen to the second master this time. You must not play tricks in front of him, otherwise something will happen."
Regarding this disaster relief, Xu He was also thinking about where to start.
He called Qiu Hu behind him and wrote: "Qiu Sihu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Hushu hurriedly said: "My dear scholar, how can I dare to trust you in front of you? Just call me Qiu Jian!"
Xu He smiled and said: "In that case, Brother Qiu is older than me, so I will call him my elder brother!"
Qiu Hushu wanted to persuade him again, but Xu He said directly: "Brother Qiu, you are used to walking in the Yamen. There were floods last summer. How does our county usually provide disaster relief?"
Qiu Hushu thought for a moment and said, "The eldest master will speak out, reduce or reduce some taxes, and then mobilize the big families to open warehouses and stockpile grain! Of course the county will also provide some!"
Xu He nodded, thinking that this was quite satisfactory, and then asked: "What can Brother Qiu do to teach me about this trip to the salt field?"
Seeing that Xu He was serious, Qiu Hushu thought for a while and said to Xu He: "The food cannot be released all at once..."
After saying that, he looked around and whispered to Xu He: "Something happened to the Yongfeng warehouse in the county. It is said that the warehouse ambassador Lao Xun took a lot of money. The county boss asked him to make up for the food. Where can he go to this stall? Want to make up for it? Besides, the grain merchants he cooperates with have probably sold the grain long ago. Even if they haven’t sold it, who is willing to pay for it if grain is in such short supply now?"
Xu He nodded. What Qiu Hushu said was pretty much what he thought.
In the normal process, he should escort the grain and grass to the four salt fields, then ask the field ambassador to arrange for someone to receive the grain, and announce in public that no commotion is allowed within three days! Waiting for the food provided by the imperial court to be delivered.
But now there is a problem. Almost all the ambassadors in the salt field were killed last time. The imperial court is busy with the construction of the upper level of Huaiyan and the distribution of benefits. The lower-level officials have not made arrangements yet.
This is also the reason why the imperial court placed major salt farms nearby and let local governments take responsibility for them.
Therefore, no one restrained him, and Xu He released the grain, which meant that the mud cows fell into the sea.
Xu He thought for a while and called the hundreds of people from the guard house who were escorting him. He asked them to pass by Liang Duo without stopping and go directly to get tea.
I don’t know, it’s better to rely on a place with a mass base to get things done.
"The beams don't stop! They go straight to Huancha!"
"The beams don't stop! They go straight to Huancha!"
Amidst the noisy cicada cries in the summer, Xu He's orders were passed towards the front of the team one after another.
