Chapter 260 Return and Complaint

Chen Cong, or the Xiapi Chen family, also suffered during this period of time.Back then, Chen Qiu's meddling in the killing of the eunuch party was clearly plotted against, and eventually the entire Chen family was implicated.

In order to get rid of this situation, Chen Yu had to take refuge in the Yuan Clan, which was equivalent to the Chen family bowing to the Yuan family.

As a result of bowing their heads, only three generations of Chen Deng became the magistrate of Dongyang County. The world seems to have forgotten Chen Cong, Chen Yu and Chen Gui.If this continues, the Chen family seems to have no other possibility except to be attached to the Yuan Clan forever.

Find another way out, this is what Chen Cong must consider and plan to do.The Li family has just risen, and Li Ming is the only one in the family. Maybe Xun Cai's unborn child counts as one, but what if it is a girl?Therefore, it is impossible for Mrs. Li to be superior to Mrs. Chen. On the other hand, Mrs. Li, who lacks talents, can basically sit on an equal footing with Mrs. Chen, so there is no need to worry about it!
"Since my brother has made up his mind, it's up to Han Yu to stay in the ancestral house!" After all, Chen Gui is Chen Cong's brother, and he is also a rare smart person, so he didn't stop after hearing the words.

"The prefect is looking for the Lu family, probably because of the problem of food and grass? I heard that tens of thousands of people have moved to Kuaiji County, and the food and grass needed are probably quite a lot... Most of my Chen family's food has been given to the Lu family for sale. , There is still four thousand shi of grain at home for emergency. If you need it, you can give him two thousand shi of grain!" Chen Cong, as the elder of the family, waved his hand and sent out the two thousand shi of grain.

According to the market price, it was almost 500 guan worth of grain, but Chen Cong gave it away without blinking an eye.Li Ming planned to spend money to buy it, but Chen Cong was determined not to give in. After three times of refusal, Li Ming had no choice but to accept Chen's love.

I stayed at Chen's house for one night, and the first batch of sea fish was brought back the next afternoon, along with more than 20 sea crabs.

"Not bad, the quality of these sea fish is very good!" Li Ming nodded. These sea fish and sea crabs were transported back in seawater according to his method, so as to ensure the freshness to the maximum extent.

Ancient times are ancient times. Even if these sea fish are close to the coast, they are very fat, and later generations cannot catch them in deep sea areas.

Seeing Li Ming's "唰唰" a few times, the sea fish was cut into fish sticks. Naturally, a maid prepared soy sauce, and even ground some ginger paste into it according to Li Ming's intention.

"This taste is indeed very good, much better than river fish! The meat is firm and firm, but the master's knife skills are also the key to this taste!" Chen Cong took a sip and praised without hesitation.

"If all sea fish are of this quality, then it's fine not to eat river fish!" Chen Gui also nodded, and the river fish was slightly inferior after eating sea fish.

After eating sea fish meat, they naturally also tasted crab meat, so that Chen Gui and Chen Cong can be sure that this seafood business may really be quite profitable.Regardless of whether it is fresh or dry goods, there is no need to worry about no buyers when they are shipped to the mainland.

On the third day, Li Ming began to return to Kuaiji County. At this time, he was followed by more than 500 servants, including Chen Ying and Lu Su.Chen Cong went to Luoyang for activities. Li Ming didn't know until this time that the Chen family still had contacts in Luoyang. It couldn't be easier to get the official position of Damo county magistrate. People are willing to go.

As for whether the county magistrate of Damo is still in office, this question is not a problem at all, and there is no need for Li Ming to do black hands.

"Is this the background of the old family?" Along the way, Li Ming looked at the servants and food behind him, and couldn't help thinking.

The five hundred family members followed Chen Cong to open up wasteland at the end of Damo in the early stage, and their family members will also go there later.There will be more than 3000 people passing by one after another, which is half of all the family members of the Chen family in Xiapi. After all, the fields here in Xiapi also need manpower.However, according to the actual situation, refugees will be recruited in other places one after another in the future, and there will be no shortage of refugees these days.

"These are all tenants in name, but they all belong to the family's private property. If you don't worry about others gossip, it is no problem to recruit 1 people. Similar to the Yuan family, the Yang family, the Huang family, the Li family and the Wang family, the size of the family Often there are more than 4 or [-] people, but they are scattered in various manors, which is inconspicuous." Chen Cong explained.

"Speaking of which, our family also has 2000 tenants, and at its peak there were 3000. If martial arts and exercises are the hard power of the family, then food and population are the foundation of the family's strength." Lu Su added road.

Damn rich people... Li Ming couldn't help complaining.

Thinking about it carefully, I don't seem to have the position to criticize others... There are more than 1000 people in my family, most of them are still in the army, and a few work in Zhuangzi and workshops.It is very easy to recruit servants these days, and many people sell themselves if they can eat without starving to death.

Five days later, everyone returned to Shanyin County.The two thousand shi grains were put directly into the warehouse, and by the way, they found Xun Biao to learn about the whereabouts of the first batch of grains.After all, when I came back to open the warehouse, I found that the whole warehouse was empty.

"I didn't expect that Riyao could get back so much food..." Xun Biao opened the account book of income and expenditure, and handed it to Li Ming, "According to what you mean, more than [-]% of the people have already migrated to Yuzhou. Ji went to the Damo line to open up wasteland and pave roads; [-]% migrated to the coast of the county and Yin county to settle down, and sent fishermen and boatmen to guide them in weaving nets and building boats.

[-]% of the previous grain was transported to Yuji County as the cost of receiving and transferring refugees; Zhuji and Wushang transported [-]% of the grain respectively, and Damo transported [-]% of the grain there.The remaining [-]% was transported to the counties and Yin counties as rations for the initial refugees. Later, as the seafood was salvaged, the food problem could be greatly alleviated. "

"So there is no food left in Shanyin?" Li Ming was a little depressed.

"The person you sent back has explained that there will be another batch of food arriving later, so I discussed with Zhicai and Shenyan, and I have reserved ten days' worth of food for emergency. If necessary, I can also allocate it in Yuji County A batch will come back, but this will affect the collection of refugees who migrated south.

I didn't expect Riyao to get back so much food. I plan to divide it into four parts and transport them to Shangyu, Yuyao, and Juzhang for [-] shi each, and leave the rest in Shanyin. What does Riyao think? Xun Biao pointed to the account book and said, Xi Zhicai and Zhang Mo also nodded. Well, everything has been arranged so well by Xun Biao, so what else can Li Ming say?
"By the way, the Yu family sent Yu Fan over. They have been waiting for a long time. They seem to have something urgent to talk about. If Ri Yao doesn't feel tired, he might as well go and see him. Peng Fei got into trouble in Zhuji County, and directly provoked him. On the head of Mrs. Yu." Xun Biao closed the account book, and said solemnly to Li Ming.

"What's the situation?" Li Ming frowned. The Yu family is in Yuyao County, and Xiao Yao is a county captain in Zhuji County. How can we get involved with the Yu family?Having said that, I went to see Yu Fan in the past.

The latter obviously knew that Li Ming was coming back, so he had waited for a long time, and when he saw Li Ming coming in, he hurriedly saluted.

"I don't need to be polite. What's the specific situation? If Pengfei really did something wrong, I won't break the law!" Li Ming said.

"The problem is a bit serious. A concubine sister Yu was abducted by Xiao Yao, and she has already married in Zhuji worship hall..." Yu Fan said with a wry smile.

"Huh?" Li Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this.

 When writing this chapter, try to minimize the description of food, so as not to give people a feeling of food writing, although I also hope to practice this kind of writing.
