Rice Fields in the Red Chamber

"After receiving the letter from the capital that day, the subordinate officials followed the instructions from above and started disaster relief. Relief was provided by work everywhere. The men could get two pennies a day and take care of two meals. They mainly patrolled the embankment on the river bank. Or help fill in the gaps; women get one penny a day, and they also take care of two meals, helping to do some cooking, starching and other work, and now everything is on the right track except for the shortage of food."

Lin Mo was very satisfied. This Liu Meng also came all the way from his days as a prince. After this term of office ends, he should be transferred back to the capital. His future achievements will definitely not be low.

It can be seen from this disaster relief that Liu Meng's ability is extremely strong, and when he is transferred to the capital in the future, he can also share some things for them, saints and confidants, and make them relax.

Tu Qian said: "You have done a good job. You are still in charge of disaster relief and comforting the victims. If there is anything that can't be done, I will invite Ben Wang and Huai Jin to come forward."

Not all foreign monks know how to chant scriptures. It is better to let the local parents and officials handle things like this time.

Liu Meng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He has already confirmed the one-way disaster relief with various officials of the Governor's Mansion and his staff. If these two uncles arrive, they will intervene. Not good.

Now that these two masters would say that, it fell right into his arms, and they responded in a hurry.

Liu Mengdao: "There is nothing to say about the disaster relief. The one-way trip has been set, and it will be fine to follow the above. It's just that in recent days, because there are too many disaster relief supplies, many unscrupulous businessmen have hoarded them. Grain, driving up the price of food, there are even profiteers hoarding it, and even the price of salt, sugar, medicinal materials and other things have risen, and now the officials have no time to deal with those people!"

Lin Mo instantly understood the meaning of Liu Meng's words: "Master Liu will deal with the disaster relief, and the other small matters will be handled by me and the prince."

Lin Mo and Liu Meng looked at each other, and they both saw determination in each other's eyes.

Facts have proved that Lin Mo's act of Shang Fang's sword that he begged from today was really not unnecessary.

Look, how many people has he heard about the deeds of profiteers hoarding along the way?Now that he heard such things from Liu Meng, a parent official from Shandong, the Shang Fang sword hanging high above the heads of corrupt officials and profiteers in Lin Mo's heart was ready to move, and he was just waiting for the day. Severely cut off the heads of these big Jin moths!

Therefore, Shandong, and those profiteers around Shandong, are out of luck.

"Baorentang" is the largest merchant of medicinal materials in Shandong Province. The owner's surname is Zhou. They were originally members of the side branch of Zhou Mingli, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. Because the second daughter of Zhou Shilang's family entered the palace, they became today's nobles. , The business is so great that it almost wins over the medicinal materials business around Shandong.

The Zhou family is powerful and powerful, and on the three-acre land in Shandong, even Liu Meng, the governor who is in the heart of the emperor, wants to deal with them, but there is nothing he can do about them for a while.

According to Liu Meng's investigation, after the start of the Shandong flood, it was the Zhou family of this "Baorentang" who started to contact those merchants and some officials, and started hoarding those materials related to disaster relief.

After hearing the news, Lin Mo snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Okay, the old hen used as a warning to the monkey has been found."

Liu Meng hesitated, "The girls of the Zhou family are nobles in the palace. Isn't it inappropriate to use them?"

Lin Mo sneered: "So what if you are a nobleman? How much do you think a nobleman is worth in front of the great cause of the family and the country with the temperament of a saint?"

Liu Meng paused, and had to admit that what Lord Lin Hou said was indeed true.

With the goal of attacking, Lin Mo and Tu Qian didn't delay any longer. They brought Shang Fang's sword and the jade pendant engraved with "As if I came in person", and led the battalion of the emperor's personal soldiers, and arrived at the "Harvest Palace" as quickly as possible. Baorentang" is the base camp where the Zhou family lives.

The Zhou family who is in charge of the business of "Baorentang" is Zhou Guiren's side branch brother, named Zhou Jin. When the guards of the palace found him, the thirteenth aunt who was newly married with him was in the house, announcing during the day As for the prostitute, I don't care about the big floods in Shandong.

The big boss of Zhou once murmured to his subordinates in private, "This flood is still too small. If it can be bigger, the money sent to the direct branch of the capital this year can be paid more." He himself You can also retain some more money, can't you?

It's not that he cares so much about nobleman Zhou's affairs, but that he knows in his heart that only when nobleman Zhou is well and the Zhou family in the capital can stand upright can he get greater benefits. If there is no benefit, who is willing to catch up? How about posting it up?

Unlike ordinary profiteers, Zhou Jin is a middle-aged man with a thin body and a well-proportioned face. Just looking at his appearance, everyone would think that this is a loyal and honest man. Son, a complete beast in clothes.

At this time, Zhou Jin was escorted by two guards and knelt in front of Lin Mo. The murderous intent in his eyes rushed towards Lin Mo, and he yelled fiercely: "Boy, do you know who I am, sir? How dare you be this man?" Get ahead of yourself! Be careful not to lose a lot of money! When the time comes, the superiors will blame you, and I will definitely let you eat it all, so go around!"

Lin Mo lowered his head and looked expressionlessly at this man who threw his bottom line on the ground and rubbed back and forth in order to make money.

He stared at Zhou Jin for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud: "In this city and outside the city, who doesn't know the boss of 'Baorentang' Zhou."

Zhou Jin was extremely proud, "Knowing your master's name, why don't you let me go soon! The master is in a better mood, maybe I can give you a good time!"

Lin Mo shook his head and asked him back, "Then do you know who I am?"

Without waiting for Zhou Jin to answer, he pointed to Tu Qian who was quietly standing aside, and asked him, "Do you know who that master is?"

Without waiting for Zhou Jin to answer, he pointed to Tu Qian who was quietly standing aside, and asked him, "Do you know who that master is?"

Zhou Jin was puzzled by the question.

To be honest, he really didn't know who these two very handsome and imposing young men were.

Yes, it wasn't until this time that Boss Zhou noticed that the two young men in front of him had a dignified appearance and an aura that made people dare not look directly at them.

Hearing what Lin Mo said now, I couldn't help feeling a bad premonition in my heart.He he he, he really kicked the iron plate, right?

Facts have proved that Boss Zhou's sixth sense is really strong.

I only heard Lin Mo order to the guard who was guarding Zhou Jin: "Tell him who we are, and let this boss Zhou know who we are."

The guard responded, and he couldn't wait to see the expression of Boss Zhou after learning their identities.

Zhou Jin soon found out who the two young men in front of him were. Boss Zhou, who knew the truth, burst into tears.

In fact, Zhou Jin also knew in his heart that if the things he did were discovered by the present, they would definitely be liquidated by the present and bring harm to the family.

However, Zhou Jin has great confidence in Zhou Guiren from their Zhou family. He firmly believes that as long as their mother-in-law blows the pillow breeze, whoever comes to settle this matter, he will be able to retreat unscathed!

However, he never imagined that Prince Zhaorui and Lord Hain would be dispatched out today with great generosity, and that Marquis Hain would still have Shang Fang's sword and the jade pendant "as if I were here in person" in his hand!

In the past month, his brain, which was stuffed with a large amount of money that was about to be acquired, finally started to turn around. Finally, he picked up one thing from the depths of his mind.

He thought of a letter from the capital he had received a few days ago and what was said in the letter. Zhou Jin shivered suddenly, feeling a chill down his back, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

He suddenly regretted that after receiving the letter, he should not have thrown the letter into the fire because the things described in the letter were not to his liking, and pretended that he had never received such a letter!

If he had been more serious about what was said in the letter, he would have stopped in time and erased all traces as stated in the letter. This ruthless Marquis Hain , Is it impossible to find his head?

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. Boss Zhou, who has become a prisoner, has no chance to make correct changes for his mistakes.

At this time, the thirteenth aunt of the Zhou family, Aunt Li, who was dragged off the bed by the guards, suddenly broke free from the guards who were holding her, threw herself at Lin Mo's feet, and shouted, "I beg the imperial envoy to replace her!" The little girl is in charge! Little girl, I am wronged!"

Tu Qian raised his eyebrows, displeased with the woman's sudden action.

When the woman's hands were about to grab Lin Mo's left ankle with sharp eyes and quick hands, he stepped on the woman's hand as fast as lightning, blocking her movement towards Lin Mo.

Prince Zhaorui snorted in displeasure: "Speak well when you speak, how decent is it to do something!"

The woman was blocked, but she didn't continue the action just now. It was Tu Qian's straightforward action that frightened her. She was just an ignorant woman, where had she seen such a battle?

He was able to make such a move just now, and he was only supported by the aura of revenge, but now that he was blocked, the aura of revenge in his chest had almost dissipated, and he could no longer summon up the courage just now.

Seeing his lord's stinky face that seemed to be covered with green prairie, Lin Mo shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly pulled the man away. If he didn't pull away, the woman was so frightened that she was about to faint.

He carefully looked at the woman in front of him, and saw that she was beautiful, with the demure and sweetness of Xiaojiabiyu, who looked like a good wife and mother.

However, this is nothing, the most impressive thing about this woman is her scholarly temperament, Lin Mo's heart condenses slightly, and a bad feeling suddenly arises.

"Tell me, what grievances do you have that you need this imperial envoy to decide for you?"

The woman cried, "Your Excellency, the little girl was originally the youngest daughter of the Li family in the city's Huichun Hall. She learned medical skills from her father and brother since she was a child, and she has achieved a little success in women's illnesses. The ancestor of the Li family is Li Shizhen, the sage of medicine. The ancestors taught that the descendants of the Li family must have good thoughts and donate medicines. My father respected this ancestor's teachings like holy words. Recently, various parts of Shandong have been hit by disasters, and the amount of medicinal materials needed is huge. My father often treats the victims and provides Medicinal materials have cured many people.

Previously, the Zhou family contacted various pharmacies and clinics in the city, wanting to hoard medicines and sell them reluctantly, raise the price of medicines, and not sell the medicines to the victims of the disaster.The little girl's father also inherited the teachings of the ancestors and did not want to join forces with her, so he refused at that time.

Unexpectedly, three days later, my father died unexpectedly when he went out to see a doctor. At the same time, the bad news came. My brother and I rushed to restrain my father, but was accused of being a gangster. My brother and I couldn't argue with each other. I don't know, but I... my lord, the little girl's family is really wronged! "

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, and looked at the little official who was sent by Liu Meng to guide them. The little official was very clever. As soon as Lin Mo's eyes fell on him, he understood the deep meaning in the eyes of the imperial envoy, and was in a hurry. nod.

"The Li family of the 'Rejuvenation Hall' in the city is indeed descended from the lineage of Li Shizhen, the sage of medicine. Although it is a side branch, his medical skills are among the best in the city and even in Shandong. Li's family training is also very strict. When the poor people here seek medical treatment and medicine, they often donate medicine and medicine, not to mention the victims of the flood.”

Lin Mo understood, it seemed that most of what the woman in front of him said was true.
