Martial Sage

Yuzhou.

The eye-catching white bar slogan is particularly eye-catching on the slow-moving carriage.

As soon as he entered the city, hundreds of people were attracted to look at him. Many people stared at the exaggerated banners and talked a lot.

"Yeah! It seems that the disaster in Qingzhou is not light, and even the imperial court orders have borrowed food from surrounding states and counties for disaster relief."

"Isn't it, there is a locust plague again over there, think about it, the people of Qingzhou this year are suffering."

"You can't say that. The officials who come down from the court can let go of their official power and work for the people of Qingzhou. This is the blessing of Qingzhou."

"Let's go, let's go, I'm afraid that the price of this food will go up again."

As the saying goes, people rely on food as their heaven.

No matter which state or county the grain is in, it is always prepared.

Thinking all the way, Li Zhi also eased his spirit from the previous excitement.

Hearing the sound in his ears, my heart became more puzzled, turning his head slightly to look to his side.

"Sister-in-law, how confident are you when we borrow grain this time?"

Tang Hao, who still closed his eyes and shook the puff fan, slightly stretched out his palm and shook it in front of Li Zhi's eyes.

"50%."

Looking at the trembling five fingers, Li Zhi's heart suddenly became cold for the most part, staring at Tang Hao, who looked unbelievably idle.

"Only 50%?"

"Doesn't it mean that we are running for nothing?"

Tang Hao slowly opened his eyes, sat up straight, and said slowly.

"50% is quite a lot."

"The locust plague in Qingzhou is severe. Yuzhou and Qingzhou are not far apart, and they will be more or less implicated. This year's grain production is very likely to be reduced."

"I have this speculation, it is based on the Yuzhou provincial governor, because of his integrity and integrity, I have estimated that it is 50% possible."

Hearing this, Li Zhi suffocated in an instant, leaning in the carriage, looking sad.

"In that way, you are also betting."

"In my opinion, I'm afraid this trip is in vain."

Call~

While speaking, Wu Tong stopped the carriage and stopped steadily.

"Master Hou, the Yuzhou government has arrived."

As soon as he leaped off the carriage, a shout came from the gate of the palace.

"The name of Dingbeihou is like Lei Guaner. I am fortunate to see it today, and I am fortunate to see it."

Following the prestige, a middle-aged man, dressed in a scarlet robe, with a round face and gracious eyebrows, cupped hands with a smile.

Tang Hao respectfully responded, said.

"My lord is absurd."

"Tang Mou investigated Qingzhou and passed by here. He heard that the Yuzhou governor was a clean official, so he came to pay a visit."

The two exchanged polite greetings, and the Yuzhou municipal governor personally led the three Tang Hao to the palace hall.

Yuzhou Provincial Governor was straightforward and straightforward, waiting for the three to be seated, and he was straight to the point.

"Dingbei Hou came here this time, but because of the disaster in Qingzhou? Borrowing food for disaster relief?"

Tang Hao smiled lightly and said.

"Don't hide it, Qingzhou has a severe drought, and there are hungry people everywhere."

"The plague of locusts is coming one after another, I'm afraid it will delay the growth of this year's ears, and cause the people to lose their livelihood."

"Tang has the courage to borrow food from you for disaster relief, and the people of Qingzhou are in the water and fire."

Yuzhou Governor slowly got up, walked a few steps behind his hands, and looked at Tang Hao.

"The disaster situation in Qingzhou has been heard a little bit in the next, and we are both folks in the village, and we should support each other."

"It coincides with the implementation of the plough in Dingbeihou. Last year, the harvest was quite fruitful and the granary was abundant."

"I just don't know how much Ding Beihou is going to borrow?"

Yuzhou provincial governor had already spoken, and this matter was considered hopeful.

But in the famine year, the two counties were not far apart, and Tang Hao didn't say anything.

"Two Thousand Hus."

Two thousand hus were only a drop in the money for the disaster. If it were averaged down, it would only be a year's ration for hundreds of people.

Of course, it is urgent to solve the hungry people who are begging today.

Hearing this number, Yuzhou Governor also relaxed slightly.

The proliferation of locust plagues is not only a matter for the people of Qingzhou to consider, but also an issue for the governor of his neighboring state and county.

If this locust crosses the border, as the lord of a state, he must leave enough rations, and it has been caught in a sudden situation.

Yuzhou Governor smiled slightly and said.

"Dingbeihou borrowed not much."

"Qingzhou is in trouble, even if it is a neighboring state or county, it will not sit idly by."

"It's just the food, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back this year, right?"

Brothers, settle accounts.

These words are considered to be the point.

But judging from the current situation of the disaster, Qingzhou's grain will still not be available until the grain is harvested.

Borrowing grain is out of trust and respect for Tang Hao.

But after all, as the lord of a state, what matters more is the survival of the people of the state and counties.

Even today's sage, definitely will not deliberately collect taxes and grains from a certain county because of personal relationships.

One yard goes to one yard. There are some rules, even if they won’t break.

The prefects and counties are all officials of the food and clothing parents of thousands of people under him, and Tang Hao will definitely not think about the daydream of giving cupped hands to each other.

Tang Hao clapped his hands, stood up, and said loudly.

"This food is definitely not enough, but Tang also knows the difficulties of Yuzhou governor."

"Today's affairs are counted under my name, Tang Hao."

"I will leave an IOU and buy this batch of grain at three times the price."

"If at the harvest time, Qingzhou has returned the grain, he will give Yuzhou 10% more as a gift. If at the harvest time, the grain has not been returned, Tang Mou is willing to return three times the money."

This sale, no matter how you look at it, is quite a bargain.

The unexpected joy came a little suddenly, Yuzhou Provincial Governor's eyes lit up, he suddenly turned around and looked at Tang Hao.

"Dingbei Hou is deeply admired for this kind of justice for the people."

"If it can be returned on time, it is naturally best. If not, the official has already negotiated for the money at the market price, how about?"

Tang Hao laughed loudly and said.

"Tang is already grateful for the governor's great benevolence and righteousness."

"As for the price, it will be tripled."

"make a deal?"

An abrupt voice came quickly from outside the hall.

"Wait, my master is willing to buy food at four times the price."
