Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

After finishing all this work, Lu Songli couldn't help but chat with Qin Sheng about the large army that was about to return.

Lu Songli said, "Mr. Xue and the others will be back soon, right?"

Qin Sheng thought for a while, and replied, "According to the speed of the large army, they should have returned. But it has been raining all the time for the past few days, and the road is difficult to walk. I guess they have been resting on the spot."

There is nothing we can do about it. The roads in Liaoxi County are not as spacious as those in Liaodong County. When it rains, the road is more difficult to walk.

Fortunately, the big troops have already arrived at their home site, and they are almost at the door, so there is nothing wrong with delaying it.

Speaking of this, Lu Songli couldn't help but praise him, "It's a beautiful job."

At that time, 20 shi of grain urgently needed to be transported out of Southland, otherwise there would be no chance, and the Cao Gang only had the capacity to transport [-] shi.

There are [-] shi of grain left, which cannot be transported away at once. If they stay in the Southland, they will definitely become Xie Zhan's dinner, and even the disaster victims scattered to the Southland are the enemy's choice to benefit Xie Zhan.

And they worked together and came up with a way to use the [-] shi of grain to attract a group of high-quality disaster victims to go north.

Yes, Lu Songli is looking forward to the upcoming batch of victims from the Southland disaster. This group of people is undoubtedly very high-quality.If nothing else, at least in terms of courage, these people who dared to go north were stronger than those who stayed in the south.

"Didn't you always say that if a place wants to develop, it must be people-oriented? At that time, we thought that the food that could not be transported could not be cheap Xie Zhan."

No matter what kind of ideas they come from, they can find the optimal solution in a difficult situation, which is really amazing.

"Also, the [-] shi of grain you left in Qingzhou has helped a lot."

Qin Sheng was a little embarrassed by her praise.

Lu Songli found that Qin Sheng had really grown a lot after returning to the Southland.

At this time, a subordinate came to report, "News came from the south, saying that Xie Zhan most likely took Gu Huaisheng and Lu Fei to Nanyang."

"I see."

"Lili, will Xie Zhan ruin your plan?" Qin Sheng was quite worried. Xie Zhan was quite smart.

Lu Songli shook his head, "It doesn't matter." Xie Zhan could definitely guess that he wouldn't stand idly by.

Lu Songli could also guess what he wanted to do. Wasn't he just trying to fish in troubled waters and pick her peaches to take advantage?Then see if he has the ability.

Nanyang

Although the price of food in Nanyang was ridiculously high, thanks to Zhang Xian's efforts to relieve the disaster, Nanyang would not starve to death after the earthquake.But the entire Nanyang disaster victims were pale, emaciated and lifeless.

In the ruined environment, the victims each found a piece of land, lying or sitting, and no one had any more communication.

None of the victims would even bother to speak unless necessary.

At this time, a ragged man came back from the outside, and sighed as soon as he came back, "I heard that the price of grain is going to rise again!"

These words were like a drop of water falling into a frying pan and exploded immediately.

"Another increase? It's already 260 renminbi, and it's going to increase?"

"God, I'm dead. A bucket of grain costs 260 renminbi. How can I survive?" An old lady was sitting on her knees with a child in her arms, crying loudly.

"Don't panic, the imperial court is still opening warehouses for disaster relief. Let's tighten our belts and we can always get through."

"However, I heard that there is not much food pulled out by the imperial court for disaster relief. I'm afraid it won't last long."

As soon as this remark came out, panic spread, and many victims who thought they had become numb to life burst into tears.

"God, you're going to kill someone."

"If it doesn't work, let's sell our bodies. Sell our bodies to a wealthy family and landlord to become a hermit." It's good to be alive, and there is nothing else to count on.

An aura of despair enveloped the entire Nanyang.

Zhang Xian is still working hard today. He took Zuo Anmin to Xuchang to meet Che Jiuming, the chairman of the Yuzhou Grain Chamber of Commerce.

Regarding their intentions, the other party kept arguing with him.

On the return journey, Zhang Xian was in a bad mood.

The Che family, one of the Yuzhou aristocratic families, has now united with surrounding wealthy businessmen to establish a Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce with the aim of raising grain prices.

Che Jiuming's attitude was very tough, and he made it clear that he wanted to sell grain at high prices and plunder Nanyang's wealth.Completely disregarding the life and death of the people in Nanyang, and of course not caring about his life and death.

Now Nanyang is supported by him, and he blocks the front.But all the food now can only last about half a month.

If half a month later, he still didn't come up with a solution, the people of Nanyang could only let the Grain Merchants Association ravage them.And he and Zuo Anmin also announced the failure of disaster relief.

After Zhang Xian and Zuo Anmin left, members of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce surrounded Che Jiuming.

"President, I heard that Zhang Xian and Zuo Anmin are the emperor's favourites. Is it not good for you to offend them?"

Che Jiuming raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk, "Did I offend them? I'm just talking about business. He wants us to lower the price of food. Doesn't this make us lose money? This is no good. What do you think?" Yes or no?"

The rest of the people showed a tacit smile to each other, and echoed, "The president is right."

He is determined to eat this piece of fat in Nanyang!

Nanyang had no food due to the earthquake, but the common people had money.Food prices have already started to rise after the earthquake, but because the imperial government came in a timely manner, the common people ate free food, and still held on to the money in their hands.

When all the food that Zhang Xian brought for disaster relief was eaten up, they could use the food in their hands to scrape the land in Nanyang.

Zhang Xian returned to his residence exhausted physically and mentally.

The confidant steward stepped forward to greet him and whispered in his ear, "Sir, a distinguished guest is coming."

Distinguished guest?Is that what he thought?Zhang Xian took a deep breath and said, "Where did you place the distinguished guests? Lead the way!" He looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally heard the news about Lu's father and daughter!

They come to the living room.

When Chen Jinshui saw the person coming, he immediately stepped forward to salute, "I have seen Mr. Zhang!"

"Please get up quickly, no need to be polite."

Chen Jinshui took out two letters from his pocket, "Master Zhang, this is a letter from Master Lu and Madam Qin Liu, please read it."

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Xian said three good words after reading the letter, his eyes were slightly moist, and he couldn't help but raise his head.

It took him a while to calm down, "Is your name Chen Jinshui? Then you follow me."

"Yes."

Zhang Xian finally looked in the direction of Xuchang, and said coldly, "This time, Che Jiuming and his grain merchants will bleed out!"

Runan

Xie Zhan, Gu Huaisheng, Lu Fei and others settled down in a big mansion, which is very close to Nanyang and Xuchang, and the three places form a triangular relationship.

Xie Nan was puzzled, "Patriarch, aren't the people from Liaodong County taking action yet? Zhang Xian is about to lose his hold?"

The three major families brought in a total of 20 shi of grain and 100 million taels of silver. Was it in vain?

Xie Zhan said with certainty, "Liaodong County will definitely make a move. We must pay close attention to the changes in the situation in Nanyang recently."

"Yes!"
