Goro listened but said nothing.
Mo Yu did not say what to do about the things in the capital.
But what the Marquis is doing is the most urgent task now, so he can't say anything. The plan has been decided, and now it is a matter of organizing manpower. Thinking of this problem, it is another new problem.
Mo Yu looked at the blueprint and seemed to have thought of something. He tilted his head slightly and said to Goro beside him, "There are still many young and strong people among the disaster victims. There is enough manpower."
After all, this is their home, and if we talk about digging a canal, I'm sure they would be willing to do so.
Mo Yu continued, "Goro, there is not much grain left in the warehouse. Go to Chen's house and move the silver to a farther place to buy grain. Anyway, the silver originally belonged to the people."
After hearing this, Goro nodded slightly.
"Um."
Food rations are a problem for these disaster victims, and their housing is also a problem. Although they have been arranged to live in places, a large group of people are crowded in one shed.
Mo Yu himself couldn't bear it, let alone the victims.
It’s just that the conditions are like this now, there’s nothing we can do but let them make do with it.
Mo Yu sighed lightly and said nothing. He looked at the drawing again and fell into deep thought.
In fact, it is not the coldest time of the year now. However, due to continuous rainfall, water has been accumulating on the ground, so the temperature outside is particularly low even though it is spring.
Especially at night, it's almost like a winter night outside.
It's freezing cold.
These are truly troubled times, nothing is going well.
Mo Yu thought that the victims must be cold at night, but the conditions were not good enough to meet their needs, so they could only make do with what they had.
The next day.
Goro got up early to prepare. When the sun was a little warmer and hung low in the eastern sky, shining golden light on the earth, Goro was ready.
He brought a large amount of silver, and Mo Yu was worried about him being alone, so he assigned some yamen runners and secret guards who were still in Chuzhou to protect the silver.
Mo Yu personally saw him off. For a guard, it was a great honor to be seen off by his master.
Goro's business is quite low-key. No one knows about it except the relevant personnel. Mo Yu stood in front of Goro, patted Goro on the shoulder and said.
"Have a safe journey, and be safe."
Hearing this, Goro's heart moved. He naturally knew that this trip was a heavy responsibility.
The world is in turmoil right now, and he has so much silver on him. If something unexpected happens, the victims in Chuzhou will be in such a miserable state. No more accidents can happen.
Goro's heart moved, he nodded solemnly and responded.
"Well, Lord, rest assured, I will ensure that this batch of grain is brought back safely."
With Goro's assurance, Mo Yu nodded gently, looked at the sky, and signaled him that it was almost time, so he signaled that he could set off.
Hearing this, Goro nodded.
"Um."
The shorthand man turned around and mounted his horse, taking a few people with him, not many, because too many people would attract attention, and with the secret guards following secretly, he only needed to take a few people to escort the food, and there was no need for so many people at all.
Goro rode on his horse and glanced at the Marquis. He was very grateful for the Marquis' trust in him. From the moment he left, he regarded Mo Yu as his master.
Even though he might be intimidating at times, your own safety would be more secure if you followed a master like him.
Mo Yu didn't know that just by asking Goro to do a simple errand, he would have a guard who was loyal to him. This master-servant relationship still existed even when they were both old and had gone through countless things.
"Sir, goodbye!"
Hearing this, Mo Yu could only nod slightly.
Then, Goro said nothing more, he pulled his horse, turned around and rode away.
"drive!"
The few people who were accompanying him also rode away after Goro.
Mo Yu stood here quietly, watching them on their journey. It might take Goro several days to come back, so he hoped that he could get out smoothly and return safely, and also bring good news.
It didn't take long before Goro's shadow completely disappeared from Mo Yu's eyes.
Looking in that direction, there was no trace of Goro anymore. Mo Yu stood there quietly, feeling melancholy for a moment. Although Goro would be back in a few days, Mo Yu still felt reluctant to leave.
It seemed as if it would take a long time for Goro to come back.
After standing there for a long time, Mo Yu gradually calmed down and was no longer feeling so uncomfortable. Mo Yu sighed deeply and turned around to go back.
Mo Yu walked back slowly with his head lowered.
He was preoccupied with his own thoughts.
The issue of food supplies can finally be put aside for the time being. Now it all depends on Goro. I hope Goro can bring back good news, but when one problem is solved, there will always be another one coming.
When Mo Yu thought about it, he found that there were actually quite a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
For example, the housing problem of the disaster victims.
As for their spare clothes, sleeping quilts, etc., they are just making do with what they have now, but they will definitely improve when conditions get better.
Fortunately, Gong Wenmin is very good at these things.
As soon as Mo Yu opened his mouth, Gong Wenmin stepped forward and said, "My Lord, don't worry. Leave these small matters to me."
Mo Yu nodded and agreed.
It will take some time for Goro to come back after he goes out.
But Mo Yu didn't expect that Goro would come back so soon, and he came back empty-handed, only bringing back one person. Goro's return was very sudden.
At that time, Mo Yu was studying the drawings.
The project of digging the channel started as Goro went out. It is better to do it sooner rather than later.
Mo Yu was concentrating on looking at the blueprints when he suddenly heard some noise outside. He came back to his senses and went out to see Goro who had just gone out in the morning. Mo Yu looked at him in surprise.
"Gorro?"
Mo Yu frowned, glanced at the unfamiliar person who followed behind Goro, then looked at Goro himself, his face full of confusion.
"Why did you come back so soon? Did you deliver the food?"
According to the itinerary, Goro should still be on his way.
Ge Luo looked at Mo Yu and then spoke: "My Lord, it's like this. I happened to meet this young master on the road. He brought a batch of grain to Chuzhou. The public security in all aspects is not very good now, so I sent this young master back first."
Goro looked at the people behind him and began to introduce them.
"My Lord, this is Guan Shaoqi. He said that the food he has can be provided to us for free. I cannot make the decision, so I can only come to ask for your instructions."
If it weren't for the fact that there was so much food, he wouldn't have dared to make the decision on his own.
Hearing what Goro said, Mo Yu frowned and looked in the direction of Guan Shaoqi.
Guan Shaoqi looks dignified, handsome and elegant, with the temperament of a noble man. You can tell at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.
