Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Such thankless tasks as rushing to repair the canal, the easiest drudgery to take responsibility for, have to be undertaken by themselves.

And even if he has 1 dissatisfaction in his heart, there is no way.

The arm can't twist the thigh.

The Shangshu Youpushe, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, has ordered it down. Why do you have to disobey the order?

So at this time, he can only bite the bullet and bear it.

Chapter 944 Continue to close the door

In fact, in Du Chuke's heart, he was more dissatisfied and complained about Su Xu than he was about Li Qiu, Duan Lun, Song You and others.

Both of them belong to Wei Wangfu.

A subject of His Royal Highness the King of Wei.

But this Su Xu has always been quite ambiguous with Furong Garden.

This also led to his being more passive in the Ministry of Industry.

Du Chuke expressed his dissatisfaction with this matter in Wei Wangfu and many times before.

But Su Xu didn't see any change at all.

Actually, this kind of thing was not Su Xu's original intention.

He is a typical Confucian scholar.

Will put the country and the people above the factional struggle.

It just so happens that everyone in the Ministry of Industry is from a practical background.

So in the Ministry of Industry, everyone is doing things relatively purely.

Little else is considered.

It was Du Chuke himself, just the opposite.

So it seems a bit out of place.

After leaving the Ministry of Industry, Li Qiu found Ma Zhou again.

Today's Ma Zhou has been promoted to be the servant of the Huangmen on the fourth rank.

The status and importance are no longer the same.

But when Ma Zhou saw Li Qiu, it was exactly the same as before, without the slightest change.

In Li Qiu's heart, Ma Zhou will always be a family in Furong Garden.

After the two of them came to an absolutely secluded secluded place.

Ma Zhou bowed and asked, "My lord, I don't know that today you are entering the palace to face the saint."

"Any instructions?"

"In the past few days, there have been quite a few changes in the court."

Li Qiu nodded at this time.

"Your Majesty entrusted me with the matter of the flood."

"There's nothing else."

"Ma Zhou, there is an urgent matter for you to do now."

"If you want to wait until Youzhou transports the grain to the various state capitals below, I'm afraid it will take a lot of days."

"But these refugees are already starving, and the people who are on the verge of starvation can't afford to wait."

"That's why we in Furongyuan should help them as much as possible."

"If you can save one more batch, that's one batch."

"Now, what is the food storage situation in our Furong Garden and Furong restaurants in various states?"

Ma Zhou was not surprised at Li Qiu's idea.

The great country is the king, and the great man is the people.

Ma Zhou admired Li Qiuzhi's vision, heart, and benevolence that worried about the country and the people.

He is also willing to follow Li Qiu all the time, and he does not hesitate to use the main reason for calling himself a servant of Furongyuan.

"My lord, it's like the Furong restaurants in various state capitals."

"They don't have much food in store."

"We can store a little more grain in Furong Garden."

"It should be possible to supply the refugees around Chang'an City for ten days."

"In the past two or three years, Princess Wu has been planning ahead."

"Around Chang'an City, several places have stored grain."

"If it is added up, it is enough for the refugees around Chang'an City to last for more than a month."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiu raised his head in surprise.

He didn't even know about Wu Jue's secret food storage around Chang'an City.

In Li Qiu's opinion, the food stored in Furong Garden alone is already very large.

But it can only maintain the refugees around Chang'an City for ten days.

It is conceivable how large the total amount of grain stored by Wu Jue should be.

Seeing Li Qiu's surprised expression, Ma Zhou then explained: "It's normal that you don't know about the grain storage, my lord."

"Originally, Princess Wu didn't have this idea."

"It was only two or three years ago, with the expansion of our Furong restaurant."

"A lot of real estate and warehouses are vacant around Chang'an City."

"At that time, when I reported to Princess Wu whether she wanted to dispose of these properties, she was directly rejected by the princess."

"It was simply used to store food."

"I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time."

Having said this, Ma Zhou hesitated for a moment, but continued, "My lord, with the current situation of our Furong Garden."

"These hidden granaries may play a very important role at critical moments."

"If we take out all the grain, the location of these granaries will be exposed."

"Should we keep one or two of them for later use?"

Hearing this, Li Qiu shook his head.

"At a time like this, so many people are starving to death."

"Let's not think about that."

"And now, His Majesty and Empress have returned to Chang'an."

"Some people still can't afford any evil spirits."

"Ma Zhou, you should do this right now."

"Release all these grains, as much as possible, save one is one."

Hearing this, Ma Zhou nodded in response, then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "My lord, when you went to Tubo, the situation in Furong Garden was quite tense."

"Furong Restaurant, Dongshi Small Restaurant, and all the tea shops are all closed under the instruction of the two princesses."

"Now, you are back too."

"Look at these places, are they going to be reopened?"

"Recently, there are quite a few people who buy tea through my subordinates."

Hearing this, Li Qiu shook his head.

"At a time like this, don't care about the little profit."

"All our Furong restaurants and all tea shops will continue to be closed."

"The spare manpower is all used for disaster relief."

"And our channels for delivering goods have all been changed to transporting food."

"From Youzhou to various places."

"Or buy it from the south and transport it to the disaster-affected place in the north."

"And you should inform Sun Simiao and the Furong Academy Medical Center."

"Free medical consultation."

"For people who are in trouble at home and are anxiously waiting for medicine to save their lives."

"Give them medicine on credit."

"When will they have money in the future, and when will they pay it back."

Listening to Li Qiu's series of instructions, Ma Zhou also felt that his chest was full of blood.

And only in this way is what he has always thought in his heart, what a real official does!

Just when Li Qiu was arranging many affairs with Ma Zhou.

The other side is in Changsun Wuji's mansion.

Chu Suiliang was sitting there frowning, sipping his tea.

945 Chapter [-]

Seeing him not saying a word, sipping a cup of tea with a dull head.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help sighing softly.

"I said Suiliang."

"All the teas on the market today are priceless."

"What's more, I am the best of the best."

"You're just wasting things by drinking like this."

Hearing this, Chu Suiliang didn't take it seriously.

Still gulped down the tea in the cup.

"Master grandson."

"Since the prince supervised the country this time."

"I found that everything seemed to have changed."

"So much so that my side, and too many officials other than me, are stunned here."

"I don't know what to do with myself."

"In the past, we always followed your eldest grandson's understanding."

"Get closer to the crown prince and the East Palace."

"But now, who knows that it has become like this."

"I came here today because of the wishes of many people."

"I want to ask a certain question from you, Mr. Changsun."

"What are your plans next?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji still pretended to be confused.

"Suiliang."

"Sometimes, it's better not to complicate things."
