After everyone walked away, the eldest grandson stood up and said, "Daddy, what are they doing here?"
”Tie Niu didn't speak, but the woman smiled and said, "It's here to save our family's lives." ”"What do you mean, mother?""
I heard from that lord that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are thrifty in the palace today, and they have saved a sum of money and sent it to our Guizhou Mansion, and they will send it to your grandfather after changing the food and clothing."
When the eldest grandson heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then Grandpa doesn't have to go up the mountain." ”"Originally, we wouldn't let your grandfather go up the mountain, go ahead and talk about it."
When the eldest grandson heard his father's words, he ran towards the hall.And when the eldest grandson left, Tie Niu took a deep breath."
Pillar, what's wrong.""
Why don't I believe what they say if it's true or not?"
The woman looked at the backs of everyone leaving: "Later, you will go to the elder's house and ask to see what he says." ”"I'll go now."
After saying that, the iron bull walked straight out."
I ate the cake first, alas, people are with A Chang at this time, and they are not ......there," Tie Niu arrived at the elder man's house, only to find that several people were already waiting here.When they saw the iron bull, they all gathered around."
Did Captain A also go to your house, what did you say......" and then Tie Niu replied truthfully.After everyone listened, a woman wiped her eyes and said: "Ten days, if my father can live for another ten days, he can get the favor of the court, or he is blessed and shallow, and he has not had such a good time." ”None of them spoke.Everyone knew that the woman's father had starved himself to death ten days earlier."
Don't cry, when the time comes, the body will be broken, I heard Captain A say, the prince said that as long as the Great Song Dynasty is not destroyed, he will always support the elderly, and when the time comes, we will live longer, and we can still have money to help our children and grandchildren."
A man hurriedly said.When the woman heard this, she just nodded.Everyone came here for one purpose, to make sure to the elders whether what they said before was true or false.The big guy discussed it and thought it should be true, otherwise it would be impossible for the first captain to make a special trip.Just as there was a lot of discussion, the elder returned.Everyone hurriedly swarmed up and asked."
Don't make noise, don't make noise, be quiet, listen to me.""
This matter, it's true, Elder A said, the imperial court sent a lot of heavenly officials in the capital, who are going to explain the situation to the prefect, and it is said that they will also check at any time, and whoever dares to cheat will cut off who's head, the county government has recruited a lot of accounts these days, and they are here to distribute silver, alas, I envy the old people at home, and they have silver money to take when they lie in bed."
As he spoke, the elder laughed out loud."
What are you worried about, I also know, I am telling you clearly now that this matter is absolutely not false, the prince's personal guards are here, just to tell those officials and masters, if you don't do it well, you will be killed."
After hearing this, these people were also relieved."
So, let's go back and tell our parents to live well, they have lived a long time, and we have benefits.Everyone hurriedly nodded."
Tie Niu, this time Elder A praised you, saying that you are not hungry old man, the previous thing was that I was wrong, but I couldn't help it at the time, you know."
Iron Bull nodded.He naturally knew, otherwise he would have cut off the head of the elder with a hoe.……………… Wei Chijiang arrived at Guizhou Mansion three days later, looking at the situation in Guizhou Mansion, he sighed for a long time, he sighed at the mercy of His Royal Highness the Prince, and at the same time thought that since he was here this time, he would make things beautiful.He felt that he had come to the right place in the Great Song Dynasty, although Hami was good, but if he could make the Great Song Dynasty the same as Hami, wouldn't it be more beautiful?
In fact, the officials of the Guizhou Prefecture had already read the official documents before they received the holy decree.Wei Chijiang read out the decree in the prefect's yamen, and then Zhang Guoqiang, the prefect of Luning, received the decree.When Zhang Guoqiang received the order, Wei Chi Jiangwan whispered: "This official will stay in Guizhou for half a year, and if there is any mistake in this half year, Lord Zhang, don't blame this official for killing chickens and monkeys when the time comes." ”"Lord Wei Chi, rest assured, this official will never fail to live up to the grace of the saint."
Wei Chijiang nodded with satisfaction."
Ladies and gentlemen, the lower officials have prepared a banquet in the mansion, please come with the lower officials."
Yu Chi Jiangwan, after humbling each other with everyone, in the end, it was Yu Chi Jiangwan who went out of the room first, and then the others followed his pace.On the table with eight dishes and one soup, Wei Chijiangwan's face was a little unsightly, but he didn't reprimand him.He had just arrived in the Guizhou Mansion, and he did not know the specific situation here, he was a close minister of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and these local officials brought out the best things to beg him, perhaps just to ask for more food and silver.This kind of behavior of officials is normal."
In the year of the catastrophe, some have passed ......"
Wei Chijiang was silent for a long time, but still said softly.Zhang Guoqiang nodded: "Only this time, in the next few days, we can only eat cakes, and I hope that Lord Wei Chi can be considerate." ”Zhang Guoqiang's temper is very similar to Fu Ziying, he is very reluctant to scold Wei Chi Jiangwan, but Wei Chi Jiangwan is a close minister of His Royal Highness the Prince, and even in some cases, he is more favored than Fu Ziying.Although the Guizhou Mansion has opened the official warehouse, Zhang Guoqiang is also afraid that in case of next year, the year after will still be like this, when the official warehouse will be exhausted, it will still need to transport grain to Guizhou from other places.He had to."
As it should be.""
Lord Wei Chi, please."
Wei Chijiang didn't shirk at night, moved his chopsticks, and after eating a bite of meat, he put it down and said: "Your Highness is merciful, from tomorrow, this official will visit various states and counties, and do a lot of business, and come back in seven days, only responsible for supervision, all things need to be done well, is there any problem?"
”Zhang Guoqiang said: "There is no problem, if there is any mistake in the middle, this official is willing to hand over his head to Lord Wei Chi." ”Yu Chijiang nodded in the evening, and then raised the wine glass: "This glass of wine is for all of you." ”All the officials of the household department stayed in Luning, and Wei Chi Jiangwan took a few Donggong guards, changed into civilian clothes, and left Luning City.Wei Chijiang did his best in the evening, and did not rest for seven days, constantly making secret visits to various places.On the first day, the official grain in the official warehouse flowed into the market, and the government set up a sales point, and the price was only more than half of the market price.In fact, before the arrival of Wei Chijiang Wan, the merchants in Guizhou Mansion already knew that the imperial court was going to open a warehouse to release grain, but all the grain merchants had no intention of reducing the price.They don't believe that official food can be cheaper, and they don't believe that the amount of official food can make up for such a big gap.But when the official warehouse was opened, all the grain merchants were stunned when they saw the price given by the government, which was more than four times cheaper than the price they sold.Ordinary people flocked to the sales points set up by the government, but naturally no one bought the grain merchants' shops.On the first day of the opening of the official warehouse, the grain price of the entire Guizhou capital dropped by 20%.On the second day, food prices doubled.On the third day, the price of grain in Guizhou Province was reduced by three times, almost returning to normal prices, and this move also affected the price of food in nearby state capitals.When it returned to the normal range, the grain price in the official warehouse began to gradually increase to a normal level.Yu Chijiang saw these in his eyes, and when the seven days were over, everyone also rushed towards Lu Ning City again.When you are on the road, you can see the people pushing food back and forth on the road.Yu Chi Jiangwan and the others rode horses and walked slowly behind the advancing people.Iron Bull and his eldest son pushed a small wheelbarrow at the back of the line.Hear the sound of horses' hooves behind you.The elder turned around and saw Yu Chi Jiangwan on a horse."
Hehe, Tie Niu, have you seen it, these should be the big officials from Tokyo."
After seeing Yu Chijiang, the elder turned his head and immediately said to the iron bull beside him."
Elder, how do you know?""
Although they are wearing coarse cloth clothes, they are very clean, especially the leader one, see it, the white and fat ones have the momentum of a superior person, I think that, it must be an official who is bigger than the prefect, believe it or not.""
I don't believe it.""
Shall we gamble on the silver?"
After finishing speaking, the elder felt that something was wrong again, and hurriedly changed: "Forget it, if I win, when you go into the mountains to chop wood, how about cutting an extra bundle for my family." ”"No, even if you don't say it, I'm going to chop a few more bundles of firewood and send them to your house.""
No, no, no."
The elder hurriedly waved his hand and refused."
My family is the only one in our village, you accompany me to walk so far, I definitely can't let you lose, my father said, after receiving something, I must thank you."
When the elder was about to refuse, Yu Chijiang rode up to the two of them.The elder hurriedly shouted, "My lord, are you a big official from the capital?"
”Yu Chi Jiangwan drove the horse, paused slightly, looked at the elder and said, "Oh?
How do you know, old man. ”"Your face is so white, what else can you be if you are not a big official."
Yu Chijiang smiled bitterly when he heard this, he actually thought that he was hiding it well, but he didn't expect such a big flaw to be exposed outside.Just as he was about to say a few words casually and leave, the eldest grandson who was following Tie Niu suddenly walked out, knelt down towards Yu Chi Jiangwan, and kowtowed three times on the ground with his head heavy.Yu Chijiang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant."

What is this for?""
You are the lifesaver of our family, I have nothing to repay, so I will kowtow to you a few times."
After the eldest grandson finished speaking, he stood up and made way for Wei Chijiangwan.Yu Chi Jiangwan took a deep breath and nodded slightly."
My lord, if you didn't come this time, his grandfather would have entered the mountain."
The elder spoke.The elder didn't mind saying this in the slightest, because it was traditional, and it wasn't just him, almost all the elders in the village did it.This has been the case since ancient times.
