"What? Where did he get the food? Did you read that correctly?"
"There is still ice on the canal, and everything north of the Yangtze River is in crisis! How could he buy food from other places?"
Neither Wang Qinruo nor Ding Wei could believe their ears, and they both blurted out their doubts!
The biggest problem that caused the two of them to stay in Chengchou City was that the canal was frozen, making it impossible to buy food directly from the far-away Suzhou and Hangzhou areas and go north.
As for the nearby east and west roads in Huainan, the solar terms are not much different from those in Qingzhou. They are also in the lean period, and there is simply not enough food on the market for bulk purchases.
"That's right, I promise you that I'm right! Han Qing personally led the team to escort the brown rice back! Just now he pierced the rice bags in each truck in the street for everyone to see!" Huang Wan, the prefect of Qingzhou, only manages his own affairs.
A large number of people would starve to death, so they didn't bother to think about where Han Qing got the large quantities of food. He wiped the sweat from his face with his hands and responded in a hoarse voice.
"Huh——" After the words fell, Ding Wei immediately exhaled a long breath, and the anxious look on his face quickly turned into happiness.
Having served as a prefectural transport envoy, he is very familiar with local affairs. He is well aware of the reason why the five major surnames were able to double the price of food in just a few days, causing people to panic hoard and play a role in this.
It has had a great effect.
Han Qing's act of cutting open the rice bag in the street was exactly the right medicine.
In less than half a day, all the people in Qingzhou City will know that food from other places has been shipped to their doorsteps. There is no shortage of rice originally, but they are just planning to reserve a batch of emergency supplies. They will definitely wait a few days to see.
The decision will be made based on the specific direction of grain prices.
"Okay, okay -" Wang Qinruo's reaction was half a beat slower than Ding Wei's, stroking his beard with his hand, and he was overjoyed, "It's good when the food arrives, it's good when it arrives. It means that some of the food in Changpingcang will be transferred out for emergency use. We are internally and externally
If we take a two-pronged approach, I don’t believe that food prices can’t be brought down!”
Among the people present, the only one who didn't feel the slightest joy was Lin Shiqi, the judge who was trying to comfort him. He blushed and took a few steps forward. He took Huang Wan's sleeve and confirmed repeatedly, "Prefect Huang, what did you just say?"
Did you really see Han Qing escorting the grain truck into the city? You can’t admit the wrong person, can you! I, I just saw with my own eyes that Han Tixing was sitting in the main hall of the Didian Prison Department chatting with people! "
"Shiqi, you must have seen it wrong before!" Wang Qinruo immediately frowned again and came to a conclusion in a deep voice.
He was so anxious before that he had no energy to carefully consider Lin Shiqi's words and deeds. At this moment, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately realized that Lin Shiqi had deliberately "maggoted" Han Qing before.
If there had not been a grain truck entering the city, Lin Shiqi's provocative words could have been used as leverage to attack Han Qing. But now, the grain shipped by Han Qing has eliminated the trouble of soaring grain prices. Lin Shiqi continued to keep his eyes open.
Telling lies is a bit beyond his tolerance range.
"Enxiang, your official, your official..." Lin Shiqi heard this, and his face suddenly turned red and purple. He wanted to explain a few words for himself, but found that at this moment, any words were feeble.
"I understand!" Ding Wei looked at Lin Shiqi pitifully from the side and rescued him very generously. "It's not that Judge Lin is blind, but that he was kept in the dark by Han Tixing. Transporting grain from the south, even if it doesn't cross the Yangtze River,
, buy it in Yangzhou. I’m afraid it will take less than half a month to go back and forth. If Han Tixing wants no one to know that he left Qingzhou, he must find someone to pretend to be him!"
"Ding Shu has a sharp eye!" Lin Shiqi saluted Ding Wei gratefully and immediately got off the donkey, "Xiaguan, Xiaguan and Han Tixing have only met two or three times, so it is indeed easy to make mistakes. If not,
Ding Shuzhi put it bluntly, I am sure that I still can’t figure out why there are two Han Tixings!”
After saying that, he quickly turned to Wang Qinruo and explained with a blushing face, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my clumsy eyesight just now. Actually, I really didn't expect that Han Tixing used a move to escape the golden cicada!"
"It doesn't matter, just be careful in the future!" Wang Qinruo has always regarded Lin Shiqi as his confidant. He hits when it's time to hit, and after the knocking, he still has to give him a step down. "Han Tixing is still young, and he can repeatedly accomplish extraordinary feats. I'm sure I like it.
Don't act according to the routine. It's not surprising that you were deceived by his cover-up method for a moment."
"Thank you for your kindness!" Lin Shiqi knew that he had successfully passed the test and quickly bowed again.
"Han Tixing was able to fool tens of thousands of Red Lotus believers back then on his own. You were not unjustly fooled!" A good man will fight to the end. Ding Wei continued to defend Lin Shiqi with a smile.
"No injustice, no injustice!" Lin Shiqi blushed and continued to smile and nod.
Just as he was about to laugh at himself a few more words, he gently revealed the matter. Suddenly, he saw the concierge Wang running towards him in a hurry. Without even stopping, he loudly reported to Wang Qinruo, "Han Tixing is here to report."
ask to see!"
"Come in, tell him to come in quickly!" The dark clouds above Wang Qinruo's head dispersed, and he was in a good mood. He immediately smiled and waved.
Without waiting for the words to fall, he took a decisive step and said, "No need, I will go to the door to greet him in person. In order to solve the food shortage on Jingdong East Road, he braved the cold spring and traveled thousands of miles, so I should personally hold the horse for him!"
"I'll do as I please!" Ding Wei immediately followed him without even thinking about it.
"Eun Xiang, please allow me to join in the fun!" Huang Wan, the prefect of Qingzhou, raised his hand to wipe his sweat and followed closely behind Ding Wei.
It's no wonder that the three of them gave Han Qing too much courtesy. In fact, this batch of food solved the urgent need of the entire Jingdong East Road officialdom.
Although two hundred carts of rice are fully calculated, which is about 800,000 catties, it is not enough to give one catty to every household on Jingdong East Road. However, Han Qing can transport the first batch of grain back to Qingzhou, and then he can transport the second batch of grain back to Qingzhou.
Batch, the third batch, and the countless batch.
No matter how cold it is on Jingdong East Road, the climate is warmer than that in Hebei. By mid-March at the latest, there will be wild vegetables to dig.
There are only two months left in total. As long as rice grains continue to be shipped from other places, the current increase in local grain prices on Jingdong East Road will be unsustainable.
The three of them are old enough to call themselves "old men" in this era. However, the steps of the three of them are faster than the other. In the blink of an eye, they have arrived at the main entrance of the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department.
Some subordinates had already informed Han Qing that the envoys would come out to greet him personally. However, although Han Qing was only around 20 years old on the surface, he was an adult on the inside and was not arrogant at all.
Before the main door was fully opened, he stepped in decisively and bowed to Wang Qinruo, "En Xiang, how could Han be so virtuous that he dares to teach En Xiang to come out to greet him in person? I'll kill you, I'll kill you, En.
Your Majesty, please accept my respects from my subordinates!"
"You have transported grain for thousands of miles, and your hard work has yielded great results. I am willing to lead your horse with my own hands, so how can you count it as a sacrifice?" Wang Qinruo was in a good mood, smiled and stretched out his hand to help. "No courtesy, no courtesy, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk!"
When the palm of his hand came into contact with Han Qing's fist, he was stunned again. Looking closely, he saw that the other person's hand was swollen like a steamed bun. The surface was covered with large and small cracks. Some cracks,
