"Come on, come on! After this sip, there are three more to come!"
Under the leadership of Liu Hongji, a beast, a group of officials and gentry who rushed from Luoyang were "forced" to drink several sips of wine without even seeing a soybean...
Then, and then nothing more...
In fact, this is just a matter of thinking about it!
A group of usually pampered old guys, after traveling for such a long time, just took a breath and were poured half a kilogram of alcohol that was as suffocating as a donkey!
Even if this wine is pure nectar, they can’t stand it! And, the most important thing is: if they don’t drink this wine, it’s not going to work!
Unlike Xiao Han, Liu Hongji's evil reputation can reach the level of a child's cry in the officialdom!
He glanced over, starting from Master Cui Ren, which official dared to say even half a word of "no"? And seeing that the officials were holding their noses and drinking, how dare you, a landlord, to show off and not drink? Fart! You can't do it even if you drink less!
So, they drank one drink after another, and no one even bothered to praise the wine! After all, the poor drinker started staggering around, but the good drinker started to have straight eyes!
Of course, there are exceptions to this, such as the silly young master of the Sun family.
After he took the first sip of wine, he was already in a trance. He was holding a big bowl in his hand and kept grinning. He even turned a blind eye to the murderous look from the old uncle next to him!
"Xiao Hou! You may not know that every household in Luoyang City is now grateful for your great kindness! Many people have immortality tablets set up for you in their homes!"
As the governor of Luoyang, Cui Renshi, although his tongue was a bit loud due to the stimulation of alcohol, his mind was always clear. Now he took advantage of the drunkenness and started to tell Xiao Han about the purpose of their visit.
"No, since I heard the news about you, the people immediately urged me as a representative to come to you to thank you in person! I heard that you like some yellow things, so I cleaned up a little bit..."
"What...what's yellow?"
Xiao Han, who had just put down his wine bowl, was startled by what Master Cui Ren said. He swallowed quickly, waved his hands nervously and said, "I, I am a serious person!"
Now, he was afraid that Master Cui Ren would take out a few books like The Golden Ping Mei from his arms, and then tell himself in front of everyone: This is a private collection of illustrations! I never show it to anyone on weekdays, but today I am destined to read it for you.
, will be given to you!
If this is the case, does he still want his old face? Does he still want his reputation?
Even if you really want to give it away, can't we do it quietly in private?
"Hahaha, Xiaohou, don't be humble!"
Master Cui Ren didn't know that Xiao Han had misconstrued what he said! Seeing Xiao Han's weird look, he thought he was going to refuse, so he quickly said seriously:
"Marquis Xiao saved me, Luoyang, from danger! No matter what, I can afford it! A little gold is not a big gift! Someone, go and lift those boxes down!"
After saying that, Cui Renshi waved his hand and motioned to his men who came with him to carry the boxes they brought with them.
"Uh, what you said is gold!"
It was only at this moment that Xiao Han realized that he was overthinking, and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, at the same time as he was relieved, he actually felt a slight sense of loss.
"Why, Xiao Hou doesn't like these things?"
Master Cui Ren also heard what others said: Xiao Han has a morbid obsession with gold, and he is actually not very sure about it.
So when he ordered his men to carry the gold, he did not forget to secretly observe Xiao Han's face.
As a result, after observing his words and expressions, he discovered the trace of disappointment in Xiao Han's eyes. Before his men came back, he carefully asked: "Then what does Xiao Hou like? As long as Luoyang City has it, Xiao Han will not let it happen."
How disappointed!"
"Why……"
At this time, Xiao Han also regained his composure. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Who doesn't like gold and silver? But..."
"But what?" Cui Renshi asked immediately. In fact, he had realized at this time that he should not ask this question at all!
But under the influence of alcohol, these words still slipped out of his mouth quickly.
"Chief Cui, do you know why I rushed eastward?"
Feeling that it was almost time, Xiao Han slowly sat upright and looked at Master Cui Ren with clear eyes and asked.
"This..." Master Cui Ren saw this and laughed twice: "I'm sorry for being pedantic, but Marquis Xiao probably thought that I was a member of the Boling Cui family, so..."
"So you stay out of sight, right?" Xiao Han smiled when he heard this and said the rest of the words for Master Cui Ren.
Master Cui Ren continued to laugh when he saw this. Although he didn't say anything, he already agreed with Xiao Han's statement.
"If this is the case, you underestimate me!" Xiao Han looked at Cui Renshi intently for a while, then suddenly sighed, then Huo stood up and looked towards the east along the river.
"I think Governor Cui must have known about the breach in the lower reaches of the Yellow River!"
"This official knows!"
Master Cui Ren saw Xiao Han getting up, and he quickly followed suit: "I heard that the farmland villages there have now become a marsh country, and the people are also hungry, cold, and homeless! Although I am only an official in Luoyang, after hearing the news, I still
Five thousand shi of grain were prepared overnight and people transported it over."
"Five thousand stones of grain..."
Xiao Han was not surprised by Cui Renshi's words, because he had already learned through Baiqi that the surrounding cities were transporting grain to the disaster area.
However, according to Baiqi's statistics, there are too many people affected by the disaster this time! The flood is flowing down, and so far, at least tens of thousands of households have been affected by the disaster! If converted into people, that is hundreds of thousands of people.
!
As for the five thousand shi of grain donated by Luoyang, that is, 600,000 kilograms of grain! It sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is only a mere three hundred tons. In later generations, a few trucks can pull it all and spread it among people.
It can help the victims survive for a few more days!
"It's far from enough!" Xiao Han shook his head and sighed!
At this time, other people also noticed something strange here. Except for a few people who were really drunk, everyone else focused their attention on Xiao Han and Master Cui Ren. They pricked up their ears and listened to the conversation between the two people.
.
"There are too many people affected by the disaster! There are so many people, and it is freezing cold now. If we don't have food, countless people will die every day!" Feeling the eyes of everyone, Xiao Han's voice gradually became more passionate and heavy.
stand up.
"Yes! We in Luoyang City are lucky to have met you, Marquis Xiao! Without you, we would have ended up like them now!"
Cui Renshi finally understood what Xiao Han meant at this time, gritted his teeth and said: "That's it! We will collect food after we go back, at least, at least..."
