Liu Yuanwai's heart is resistant. At this juncture, which one is recommended is the one who will harm which one. After this incident, those people still don't hate him? However, in line with the principle of "dead Taoist friends do not die poor Taoists", Liu Yuanwai still said two words with a trembling voice.
Pang Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Liu Yuanwai really understands people. Then just follow Liu Yuanwai's request, let's just count." Pang Xiao compared a finger.
Liu Yuanwai had the heart to cry on the spot. He held out a hand, but in the end he was frightened by the repeated defeats, and only dared to extend a finger. Wang Ye Chitose was so embarrassed that he said "according to his request", how could this wang ye be so cheeky? !
But Liu Yuanwai didn't dare to say these words, and the arrogance at the beginning was shattered by fright. In fact, soldiers and horses were placed in front of their own door. He also found out that the prince is really not a good person to deal with. If he is willing to give money, it is to give him face.
Liu Yuanwai gave an order, and the house became busy. Pang Xiao ordered people to guard the reputation here, and then ordered people to immediately go to the two merchants' homes that Liu Yuanwai said had stored food to inquire about the situation, and turned around and came to the carriage. , Bingtang and Jiyun got out of the car immediately.
Pulling the curtain up, he jumped onto the carriage, and Pang Xiao sat down next to Qin Yining, "Why did you come so early? Otherwise, you would be regarded as a robber."
Qin Yining was teased by him and burst out laughing, "Didn't you plan to take credit first? Anyway, it will be shipped in two days." He leaned closer to him, looked at his sitting posture, and said in a low voice: " Came on horseback? Does the wound hurt?"
"Why is it so delicate?" The long arm stretched over Qin Yining's shoulder, Pang Xiaozai's hand fell on her shoulder, touching her slender bones, and his brows could not help wrinkling.
Qin Yining lost a lot of weight during these days with poor food and sleep, and exhausted life. They are in the disaster area, and the people are facing the threat of death every day. She had just raised some flesh on her face, and she lost weight before walking to Jingang.
Qin Yining leaned on his shoulder, his eyes bright like the bright stars in the night sky.
"Thank you for thinking of such a good method, we can't wait for the relief from the Holy Lord. We can't just watch the people starve to death, maybe we can still use this method along the way," suddenly thought of something, sat up straight and asked Pang Xiao, " You also need to be low-key in your actions, and don't irritate these businessmen too hard, so as not to make people suspect the origin of our money."
The treasure is the thorn in Li Qitian's heart. It took so much effort to find it. If it leads him to suspect Pang Xiao's head, I am afraid that he will be even more attacked in the future.
Pang Xiao likes to see how cute she looks when she is worried about herself, it feels like being patted by some kind of fluffy little animal with its little furry claws.
"Okay, it's up to you. I'll do my best to be careful."
Qin Yining heard his voice full of joy, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look into his gentle eyes.
Although he didn't do anything, he just looked at her with loving eyes, but Qin Yining still heard his heart slam twice. It seemed that every time Pang Xiao looked at her with such soft eyes, she almost forgot who she was and what she was going to do.
Pang Xiao loved her watery eyes so much that he couldn't help kissing her eyes.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the carriage.
"My lord, the food has been ordered, enough for the people inside and outside the city to eat gruel for three days!"
Hearing this, Pang Xiao pinched Qin Yining's face happily, "That old fox must still have some food left, I'll go check it out." After that, he jumped off the carriage like a child, as if the wound didn't hurt at all.
Qin Yining wrapped his cloud shoulders and waited quietly. Pang Xiao talked with Liu Yuanwai after a while. When they returned to the city, they were followed by six carriages and dozens of porters.
It is also a scene of devastation in autumn. Going back with food is enough to make people feel happy.
Qin Yining never got out of the car, but when he lifted the curtains and watched the people in the porridge shed outside the city looking at Pang Xiao with expectant eyes, he felt a strong sense of satisfaction in his heart. It is worthwhile to use the treasure here.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining first sent some of the food to the porridge shed outside the city, arranged for someone to cook the porridge, and quickly returned to the city to make arrangements.
They moved very quickly. Before they could inform Chen Zhixian after returning to the city, they first sent the food to the two porridge sheds in the city, thinking that if the hungry people could eat the food sooner, fewer people would die.
Chen Zhixian heard that Pang Xiao really brought food back to the porridge shed, and rushed over immediately. Seeing the smoke rising from the stove, the thick miscellaneous rice porridge was boiled in the cauldron, and the people lined up in front of the porridge shed with clay pots and sea bowls. Chen Zhixian was so excited that he almost burst into tears. .
"My lord, thanks to you! The official thanked you on behalf of the people of the whole city!" In three steps and two steps forward, Chen Zhixian knelt firmly in front of Pang Xiao and kowtowed his head.
People who were a little closer heard what Chen Zhixian said, and they all knelt down and kowtowed in excitement. The crowd was talking about it. Thanks to the prince who brought food, everyone was able to survive these few days. The people also knelt down with Chen Zhixian, and the voice of thanks to Pang Xiao resounded almost through the sky.
Pang Xiao hurriedly helped Chen Zhixian to get up, "What is Mr. Chen doing, this is all within the responsibility of this king. This king is incompetent, causing the big guy to suffer so much starvation for nothing. This king is really ashamed."
"My lord, please don't say that. The sage does not give food and grass, and the lord is not an immortal. Could it be possible to make food for nothing? This time, if the lord didn't buy food from his own pocket, how could the big guy survive!"
Chen Zhixian was outspoken and said whatever he thought of when he was excited.
As soon as the words came out, he realized what he had said, and immediately felt that something was wrong. After all, the fact that the saint did not give food was too easy to cause discussion. But on second thought, as the Son of Heaven, the Sage has done something worse than even the prince. Since he dares to do it, is he afraid of others talking behind his back
On the contrary, he is a loyal and obedient prince, who is friendly and kind, and acts in a low-key manner. He had already asked about it just now. The lord bought all the food. He said it was ruthless, but in the end he went to Liu Yuanwai's house to frighten him, and in the end he gave him the money.
The lord is willing to live for the people, and when the sage does not distribute food, he uses his private money to buy food for everyone to eat. Such a noble sentiment, the lord himself does not publicize, but he cannot let this matter go down like this.
Sure enough, when Chen Zhixian said this, the people immediately began to discuss the news. The news seemed to be pushed away by the tide, and soon the crowd was filled with praise from the people.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining looked at each other, but they were quite helpless.
They have been keeping a low profile, so as not to let people think too much, this place is better now, and it is not conspicuous that the prince has some silver coins in his hand, but they plan to go all the way to the south to provide relief, that is a sum of money There is a huge number, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no conscientious people thinking too much.
Therefore, Pang Xiao and Qin Yining, including Xu Weizhi, Xie Yue and other advisers, have always been hesitant about what method to use to publicize it, so that Pang Xiao can win the hearts of the people and prevent Li Qitian from being suspicious.
But who would have thought that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and before they came up with their solution, Chen Zhixian helped them make a decision first.
Seeing Pang Xiao's expression a little embarrassed, Chen Zhixian only thought that the prince had such a temperament, and was unwilling to be in the limelight for this kind of thing. I feel more and more that it is too much of a loss for the prince to remain unknown for doing such a good deed.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining saw that the porridge shed was arranged by Chen Zhixian, and the people were all in good order. The hungry eyes are shining with gold stars, and he has not lost his demeanor and bottom line.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao were very happy in their hearts, and they couldn't help feeling that the Golden Port under the jurisdiction of Chen Zhixian was indeed different from the place they had seen when they came. I don't know if it was because of the coastal area and the lesser disaster. What's more important is that the people here are simple and honest. Still have goodness.
It is difficult for a magistrate to maintain the stability of a place. What is more valuable is that he keeps the people simple and honest, and does not produce any bad atmosphere, even under the shadow of death. This is still the case. It is the ability of Chen Zhixian.
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining returned to the yamen to rest temporarily.
When Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi and other advisors heard the news, they walked around with their guards to check the situation in the city.
The people all know that these grains were bought by Prince Zhongshun with his own money. Now that they have eaten hot porridge, they are really more expensive than anything delicious. When they think of the prince, they praise them even more. The heroic deeds of Pang Xiao on the battlefield in the past are also mentioned. This made all the advisors who came out to investigate the situation felt proud, and they couldn't be more proud and moved.
At first, those advisers who objected to Pang Xiao's use of treasures to help the victims. Now, looking at this situation, I finally fully understand the truth of Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi's proposition of "the world of the people who win the hearts of the people", and some people are thinking, fortunately, the prince did not adopt it at that time. their advice.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao returned to the room, and after a while, Ji Yun and Bing Tang brought a can of miscellaneous grain porridge that was boiled.
Pang Xiao picked up the bowl and filled it with a spoonful, pursed his lips and said, "It's not easy, I finally have a dry meal."
Qin Yining was amused by his aggrieved and sad look, "You eat more. These days, you will have to go around to find grain dealers to negotiate the price."
Pang Xiao laughed and handed the bowl of porridge filled with rice grains to Qin Yining, and then he held the rest of the crock pot.
"Don't worry, with such a good start, in a few days, the situation in Jingang can be alleviated, and then we can set off for the next stop."
