When Chu He heard this, he also fell silent. According to the rules of the Wei Dynasty, granaries can indeed be opened to release grain during droughts, but this behavior may also cause attacks by Shangguan and colleagues, and he will eventually be punished.
After all, there are more corrupt officials these days, and those who refuse to join in the corruption will be easily resented.
Even upright officials who want to provide disaster relief must consider whether they can bear the responsibility.
After eating, Chu He followed the old man and the child to their home, and then took out a bag of rice from the Qianyuan bracelet.
He went to Tianmen Pass and purchased a batch of grain through his grandfather Yang Zhan's relationship, which he hid in Qianyuan bracelets and other storage magic weapons.
The drought was severe, and he knew that the little money he had in his hand could not change the general situation, but a batch of grain could alleviate the pressure of the disaster and save many people.
Immediately, the old man looked grateful and wanted to kowtow to Chu He, but was stopped by Chu He.
"Stop selling your grandson, save some food first and hold on for a while. Maybe things will turn around after a while!"
After Chu He finished speaking, he left.
Although he saved a family, there was no happy look on his face, because there were millions of other disaster-stricken families in Chengzhou. If he couldn't open warehouses to store grain and lower grain prices, he wouldn't be able to save them at all.
After a while, Chuhe galloping horses left the town and arrived at the county seat.
All industries in the county are also in depression. The people have been squeezed out of their pockets because of the high rice prices. Naturally, they have no money to buy other things. Naturally, all walks of life have no business.
Immediately, Chuhe came to the largest rice store in the county.
Liang’s Rice Shop!
Chu He saw many people queuing up to buy rice, but they all only bought a small bag. Some people only bought a bucket of rice, which is about six or seven kilograms, and some people only bought one liter of rice.
He stopped a middle-aged man and asked: "Brother, why did you only buy so little rice? The family may not be able to eat for two days."
The middle-aged man glanced at him and said: "In the Taiping years, a dou of rice cost three to five cents, or at most ten or twenty cents. Nowadays, a dou of rice costs 200 cents, and a liter of rice costs 20 cents. How can I afford it?"
When Chu He heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Is the rice in every rice shop so expensive?"
The price was indeed a bit outrageous, higher than he expected.
The middle-aged man sighed: "A few days ago, there were rice shops selling rice for a hundred dollars, but now all the rice in those shops has been bought up by the Liang family. Now the only people in the county who still sell rice are the Liang family."
When Chu He heard this, his face darkened, and he immediately said: "The price of the rice shop may drop later. If you have a chance, buy more!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled and left. Obviously he didn't believe that those profiteers would take the initiative to lower prices.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu He came to Liang's house invisibly.
At this time, Liang Yuanwai was eating fruit in the yard. There were two pretty concubines beside him who were beating his shoulders. He was living a very comfortable life.
Immediately, Chu He activated his psychic latent skill, and the psychic power sneaked into his soul to check his memory.
However, the more Chu He looked at her, the darker his face became. This member Liang was not only rich and unkind, but also evil-minded. He beat to death six concubines and six servants, and many of his families were ruined by him.
"Killing you like this would be too easy on you!"
Immediately, Chu He activated his spiritual power to control him.
After a while, Yuan Liang called many servants and went out together to Liang's Rice Shop.
In front of the rice shop, Liang Yuanwai glanced at the people queuing up to buy rice and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet. I, Liang Bingkun, deeply feel that I was rich and unkind and did many evil things in the past. Today I decided to change my past mistakes and sincerely atone for my sins. Therefore, I decided to reduce the price of rice to
2 cents per dou of rice! Each person is limited to ten dou of rice!"
The reason why Chuhe restricted the purchase was because he was afraid that someone would hoard rice again and drive up prices.
All the servants looked at Mr. Liang blankly. This was still the hard-nosed man he once was. Isn't he possessed by an evil spirit?
Liang Yuanwai glared at everyone and said coldly: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go to the warehouse to move the goods! Don't worry, each of you can also receive a bucket of rice for free!"
All the servants could only go to the warehouse where the rice was stored.
The people who were still a little skeptical at first cheered, and some were grateful to Mr. Liang, feeling that although his heart was darkened, it was not completely dark.
As a result, the Liang family quickly sold out the rice they had hoarded.
Since a large batch of rice was purchased from other rice shops at a price of 100 yuan per dou, Liang Yuanwai had a net loss of 50 times!
But Chuhe still had no intention of letting him go.
An hour later, the county government office.
County Magistrate Yang Qi was drinking wine in the back office with a plate of peanuts on the table.
At this time, he didn't know that a figure was observing behind him.
The figure was the invisible Chu He. He used the power of his mind to sneak into Yang Qi's soul and quietly probed his memory. He found that although this man was not greedy for money and did not do evil, he was not an upright official, but a mediocre official who did nothing.
Yang Qi was not greedy for money, but he was extremely afraid of death. Knowing that the previous magistrate of the county had been sentenced to death for corruption, he was afraid and did not dare to be greedy.
Moreover, the welfare benefits of officials in the Wei Dynasty were excellent, and the county magistrate's monthly salary could already allow him to live a comfortable life, so he naturally did not want to take risks.
Immediately, Chu He mobilized his spiritual power and temporarily controlled the county magistrate, asking him to summon the government officials and go to the Liang Mansion to search for evidence of illegal crimes outside the Liang Mansion.
The evidence of Yuan Liang's crime had long been detected by Chuhe, and the government officials successfully dug out several corpses from the backyard.
Then, the Liang Mansion was raided, and the money was confiscated and kept to help the victims.
And food continues to be sold at low prices.
After a while, study room.
When County Magistrate Yang regained consciousness, his expression suddenly changed, and he felt extremely regretful, because the boss behind the Liang family was the county governor. Now that he had offended the county governor, this official position was probably over.
At this time, he suddenly found a letter in front of him, which said to comfort the victims and keep you safe. Below it was a red seal with the word "Prince Jing" inside.
When Yang Qi saw it, he immediately felt at ease. With Prince Jing's protection, the county guard didn't have to be afraid. If he did well, he might even be promoted. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt hot in his heart.
At this time, Chuhe had already left He County and headed for the county town.
Evening, county town.
County Governor Li Dezhong was having dinner with his family in his mansion.
Suddenly, a guard came in, cupped his fists and said, "Sir, someone wants to see you."
Li Dezhong asked: "Who is it?"
The guard took out a golden token and handed it to him.
When Li Dezhong saw him, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly said: "Please invite him in quickly! No, I'd better go and greet him in person!"
After a while, Li Dezhong came to the door and was about to salute Chu He.
Chu He said, "No need to talk, let's go in and talk."
When Li Dezhong heard this, he immediately stopped talking.
A moment later, in the hall.
Li Dezhong handed the golden token to Chu He, bowed respectfully and said: "I pay homage to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"
Chu He said: "Master Li, there is no need to be polite! I am traveling in secret this time, please keep it secret, Master Li!"
Li Dezhong said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I understand."
