"Huh?"
When Xiao Han heard this, he was suddenly shocked for some reason!
Only then did he vaguely remember: Cui Jingzhi in front of him seemed to be a member of the Shandong noble clan, and one of the most powerful noble clans.
Hey, what a careless person! When I first received the letter, I still wanted to keep a low profile so as not to be discovered by others. Why am I confused now and hitting the wall myself?
Thinking of this, Xiao Han quickly swallowed all the words he wanted to continue asking!
Although he and Cui Jingzhi were getting along very happily these days, he also believed that he should not put the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in danger for certain things.
However, there are some things that it is not afraid of, but is afraid of just in case!
These words reached Cui Jingzhi's ears today, and it is inevitable that they will hear something from Lu Jingzhi and Zheng Jingzhi again in the future, and then step by step they will reach the ears of the core members of their family.
And Xiao Han doubted that those wealthy noble families who had experienced several dynasties would really have a sense of belonging and surrender to the Tang Dynasty?
Especially when there is already a rift between them and Xiao Lizi, will they stand aside obediently and watch him conquer the Turks?
You know, once this battle is won! Leo's personal fame will reach its peak in an instant!
When the time comes, countless soldiers return to the court with the power of great victory, and then turn around to deal with these disobedient people, how should they deal with themselves?
These things may sound like a lot, but in reality, they only happen in a split second in Xiao Han’s mind!
So although he was alert, his expression didn't show the slightest change.
In fact, Xiao Han even shook his head along with Cui Jingzhi at the right time, pretending that he didn't hear anything and sighed: "Hey, it's still different! I also came from the army. In the army, soldiers have to be strong to fight.
, military rations must be of the highest quality.
But now it is for disaster relief, so naturally it should be cheap and affordable! Otherwise, if the victims cannot afford to buy some polished rice, vegetables and meat, wouldn’t it be in vain? So I thought about getting some old grains or millet, as long as I can eat enough
People can survive this period of time!"
"Oh? Mr. Hou is still thoughtful!"
Cui Jingzhi didn't know if he just mentioned it casually or as a test. Anyway, after hearing what Xiao Han said at this time, he just touched his palms in admiration, and then said: "But there are still not many things like Chenliang and millet in Yangzhou.
Ah, there may be millet, but old grain will not be transported here at all. Even if there is some at home, it will be eaten first!
However, if you need it, Lord Marquis, I can send you a few words and ask friends in several nearby states and counties to mobilize a batch of rice and grain from the wealthy official warehouse to help you!"
"Collect rice and grain from the official warehouse?"
Xiao Han is now on guard, how can he dare to use the government again?
Besides, if the government is used, it will be of no use to him! Isn’t Xiaoli’s imperial edict better than anyone else’s?
Therefore, after hearing Cui Jingzhi's suggestion, he held his forehead and pretended to think for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it! Adjusting grain in the official warehouse is too troublesome and involves too many aspects.
Not only do you have to go through the yamen of various ministries, but you also need to receive transfer orders from the chief officer of Chang'an!
In addition, it is so far away from Chang'an, and it takes half a month for urgent letters to come and go. It is estimated that autumn will be here soon by the time the order is issued!
That's all, you don't have to worry about this. I'll think of a solution. If it doesn't work, I'll send someone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to take a look."
Cui Jingzhi pondered for a moment and felt that what Xiao Han said was reasonable, so he smiled bitterly and said: "That's fine! Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always been a land of plenty, and it's also convenient for food to travel by water! Hangzhou and I..."
Cui Jingzhi originally wanted to say that he also had friendships with the officials in Hangzhou and could write a letter to smooth things over on his behalf.
But in the middle of saying this, I suddenly remembered: He was a dignified founding prince, and even the general manager of Jiangnan Province would come here to have a drink with him when he passed by, and he would speak to some minor local officials in Hangzhou.
, it is somewhat suspected of being a manipulative person.
So when he said this, Cui Jingzhi stroked his beard in embarrassment, and it was difficult to say the rest of his words.
Seeing Cui Jingzhi's appearance, Xiao Han didn't expose it. He didn't want to make this matter known to the world, so if he could not let Lao Cui help, he didn't want him to help, otherwise all his help would be a waste of time.
.
"Haha, what Cui Governor said is that Yangzhou is not far away from you, so it's good to have someone to take care of everything! In this way, I'll send someone over first to have a look. If it works, I can purchase grain directly from there and transport it to
Chang'an!" Xiao Han smiled and completed the rest of Cui Jingzhi's words, but his words showed that he didn't need to worry about him.
Cui Jingzhi's face turned red and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Wherever, if Xiao Hou is of any use to me, just ask!"
"Hahahaha, definitely!" Xiao Han said with a smile, then turned his head, his eyes seemed to fall on Xiaodong inadvertently.
Xiaodong was standing behind Xiao Han pretending to be a telephone pole at this time. His mind had drifted to nowhere and he didn't even see Xiao Han's eyes.
"Ahem..." Seeing this, Xiao Han coughed slightly displeasedly.
"ah?"
Xiaodong, who was in a daze, was suddenly awakened by the sound of coughing. He quickly looked at Xiao Han. When he saw his eyes clearly, he instantly understood what Xiao Han meant.
So, Xiaodong quickly leaned down and said in a voice that seemed to be low but could be clearly heard by others: "Master Hou, it's getting late. Don't forget, there are still some things at home that you need to deal with..."
"Oh, those things at home?" Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief when he received Xiaodong's response, but still pretended to be dissatisfied and said to him: "I had a great chat with Mr. Cui, how can I go back?"
"What the Marquis said is true." Xiaodong nodded obediently, but his eyes were still innocent. He continued: "But it is really not easy to delay matters at home..."
This conversation between the two people was originally a conversation that Xiao Han had specially rehearsed with Xiaodong when he wanted to escape while drinking but was worried that there was no reason.
Now that I take it out, although it is a bit abrupt, it does not seem artificial. After all, the acting skills of the two are still good.
Cui Jingzhi, who was already a little embarrassed, looked at the two of them and quickly raised his hands and said: "Is there something going on at Mr. Hou's family? You can just go and deal with it yourself. If you don't think you're having a good time today, I will definitely pay you a visit in the future."
The Marquis will not return until he is drunk!"
"That's... okay! The weather is really bad today, Master Cui should take a rest early."
Xiao Han nodded awkwardly, but his body had already stood up honestly.
When Cui Jingzhi saw this, he did not dare to persuade him to stay. He respectfully sent Xiao Han out of the house, not forgetting to say that he would also mobilize big households in Yangzhou to raise a batch of grain.
There was no charge for these grains, and they were given directly to Xiao Han to take back to Guanzhong. This could be regarded as doing some good deeds for the people of Guanzhong.
