Selling jars in Xueyue City, Li Hanyi comes to visit

Yuhang, Sufu

"By the way, has the matter you were asked to investigate last time produced any results?"

Su Hong asked while eating the lychees picked by his concubine next to him.

"Master, this matter is really strange. I heard that a door suddenly appeared on Qinghefang Street, and then Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng walked out of the door..."

Su Hong waved his hand and interrupted directly. The steward said,"What nonsense, these nonsense rumors are you reporting to me?

If we investigate further, we will find out how the kid returned to Yuhang quietly."

Thinking of this,

Su Hong became a little angry.

He had long expected that such a big thing happened in Yuhang.

With Hua Manlou's temperament, he would definitely rush back to Yuhang.

So at the official pass that he must pass through, he The killer who took his life had been ambushed a long time ago.

But he never expected that the kid actually bypassed all the killers' ambush and returned to Yuhang City quietly. This made Su Hong feel that this matter There's something weird about everything.

He doesn't like this feeling.

So he must figure this out

"If there is anything else, let’s focus on the key points."

The steward with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said quickly:"The Hua family's porridge sheds around Yuhang have also been eliminated. And today we gathered together, and the brothers who went to grab the porridge all reported that there was a lot of bran added to the porridge, and even some bran was added to the porridge. There is sand.

According to the rules of the Hua family, these porridges must be eaten in person.

Things like bran and bran are all for livestock.

It's also mixed with sand, and the brothers really can't drink it..."

Su Hong seemed to be listening to a joke.

He burst into laughter,"Haha, okay, I understand, then there is no need to find anyone to come over. It seems that the Hua family We are really at the end of our rope."

Su Hong was not surprised by this result.

The Hua family's ability to persist for half a month was beyond his expectation.

Now it is obvious that the food supply has bottomed out.

We can only use bran and sand added to the porridge. The trick was to fool the victims.

The sharp-tongued housekeeper smiled apologetically and continued:"One more thing is that the Hua family has inexplicably recruited many people into their shipyard and brocade workshop.

It seems that the government is also recruiting people, saying they will build roads and clean rivers."

Su Hong thought for a moment and sneered,"It's really baffling, but it doesn't matter, just let them do whatever they want."

These issues are not the focus of Su Hong's attention.

No matter what the Hua family and the government do, they cannot solve the problem of food shortage.

Why should Su Hong waste his time on these mindless things? and energy

…..

Yuhang, Woyun Inn

"Brother, what the hell is Hua Manlou doing? How could he add bran to the porridge? There is so much sand, it is not something for people to drink!"

Shangguan Haitang, who was dressed in white and men's clothing, frowned and said very angrily.

After she came to Yuhang, she often heard people talk about the many good deeds Huamanlou had done.

Therefore, her impression of Huamanlou has always been That's right.

After the famine occurred, Shangguan Haitang heard too many voices from the people of Yuhang who wanted such a kind man to rescue the poor to return to Yuhang as soon as possible.

But when Huamanlou really returned to Yuhang.

What Shangguan Haitang saw was even worse. situation.

Now there is an unknown fire burning in her heart

"Of course, bran is not something for people to eat, but it is something that can fill the stomach. Haven't you noticed that with the reduction of porridge shacks, there are fewer people going to rob the porridge shacks?"

Duan Tianya said thoughtfully.

Shangguan Haitang is extremely smart.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to become a Tianzihao secret agent under Tiedan Shenhou.

It would also be impossible for her to lead the No. 1 village in the world as a woman.

She was indeed just now He was a little carried away by anger.

Now that Duan Tianya said this, he also understood a lot of things in an instant. The reason why Huamanlou did this was completely out of helplessness.

There is not much food now.

He must have wanted to We must ensure that food relief reaches the victims who really need it.

Shangguan Haitang also saw the situation a few days ago. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Among the people seeking relief, there are always many Idle people.

There are even many green-skinned scoundrels. Although the decision of Huamanlou does not seem to treat the victims as human beings, it does have an effect.

At least those victims who really cannot eat can survive.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Haitang's dissatisfaction with Huamanlou has lessened.

"Then why is he recruiting so many people into their Hua family's shipyard and brocade workshop? Is he still only thinking about their Hua family's business?

And when did this happen? He is still in the mood to organize a dragon boat race?"

This series of operations by Huamanlou really made it difficult for Shangguan Haitang to understand.

These problems have been backlogged in her mind for too long. She had an unhappiness urge to vomit.

Duan Tianya rubbed his chin, pacing and said:"If you look at it purely from a business perspective, it is completely unnecessary to recruit so many people at this time.

You should know that the wages he gave were very reasonable, and he also provided conditions for directly providing food.

This undoubtedly gives many people a way to survive.

Moreover, he also persuaded the government and recruited people to build roads and clean up rivers.

You also know that there is no money or food in the government treasury now.

All this money and food were spent on the government's behalf."

After pondering for a moment, Duan Tianya continued:"As for organizing the dragon boat race, according to my observation, the first race attracted a lot of people's attention.

Not only people from Yuhang, but also people from surrounding towns came.

Those who can still come to watch the game are considered relatively wealthy.

Their arrival has made the business of Yuhang merchants much better."

Shangguan Haitang's beautiful eyes widened.

She never expected that

Huamanlou's unrelated measures would actually produce so many positive effects.

This was something she had never thought of before.

No wonder he did it. In Shangguan Haitang's opinion, these things have nothing to do with disaster relief.

However, they have been praised by the people of Yuhang.

"I have to say that Hua Manlou is a genius, but there’s just one thing I can’t see through now.

Why did he stop supplying cheap food to the people of Yuhang? Even the Hua family's granary was running out of food.

Then he doesn't need to buy grain on a large scale and at high prices."

Duan Tianya frowned.

After hearing Duan Tianya's words,

Shangguan Haitang also had a serious look on his face.

Indeed.

This is also Shangguan Haitang's biggest objection to Huamanlou.

It's okay if the Hua family doesn't supply affordable food to the people of Yuhang.

On the contrary Large-scale purchases at high prices.

This made all the previous efforts of the government and Hua Ruling in vain.

It was difficult to stabilize the food price for half a month.

Because of Huamanlou's actions at this time.

Almost every hour price increase

"What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd? What on earth does he want to do?"

Shangguan Haitang's face was as sinking as water and he murmured softly.
