"Everyone, I promised you that I will never let you go hungry again. This shanty town has been set up, and you have also seen the food issue. From today on, we will never be short of food. I have already
We have negotiated with the neighboring state capitals and they will provide food."
Gu Chengyu said this very boldly, and with profound internal energy, he was committed to spreading his voice to everyone's ears.
"Starting from tomorrow, all registered river workers will start working. Today, you can advance the first day's money to buy grain. Each household is limited to two to three kilograms of grain based on its population, and no more can be purchased."
The number of households here has been investigated before.
Gu Chengyu could not always provide for the victims. His food supply was very limited. Of course, he would not allow the victims to buy food without restraint. Gu Chengyu knew how much food Mingmo had brought.
The victims have no money. If no one buys food today, all their hard work will be in vain.
That's why Gu Chengyu advanced one day's wages in advance, so that he could save one day of free food.
"What? Can we advance copper coins to buy food? Is it such a good thing?" Upon hearing this, one of the victims immediately asked suspiciously.
He had never heard of people paying wages before work started.
"What do you know? If you give me money, you have to buy food yourself. The government will definitely not send you porridge anymore."
Another old man with a goatee understood Gu Chengyu's plan and couldn't help but admire the young imperial envoy.
This calculation is quite sophisticated, but with so many victims, this calculation is understandable.
The grain truck came to the city gate in a mighty manner. Gu Chengyu turned around and walked down the city tower and led people to Ming Mo.
When Ming Mo saw Gu Chengyu coming out in person, he immediately climbed up the mountain and dismounted, "I pay my respects to you, my lord!"
Gu Chengyu nodded and turned his attention to the carriage behind Ming Mo. There were many sacks piled on top, all bulging and looking very heavy.
"No need to be polite! How much food is there in here?" Gu Chengyu circled around the first carriage, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he asked.
"Sir! There are six hundred stones in total. This is just a part of it. In a few days, more food will arrive." Ming Mo bowed his head and replied respectfully.
"Okay! This time you have merit. The victims and the people in the city are waiting for food to save their lives. This is their hope for survival."
Gu Chengyu looked excited and slapped Ming Mo on the shoulder. Ming Mo's mood was immediately infected by Gu Chengyu, and he became agitated.
"Sir" Ming Mo felt at this moment that he had completed a creative act that benefited the world. He turned around and was about to say what he felt in his heart, but Gu Chengyu's next move frightened him out of his wits.
I saw Gu Chengyu pull out the sword he carried with him and stab the sack.
As soon as the sack was punctured, the grain in the sack flowed out.
The yellow brown rice poured down, flowing across the carriage board, and then splashed onto the ground.
"Rice! It's rice!" When the victims saw the rice falling to the ground, their eyes were red with excitement.
They were both distressed and excited. They were distressed that so much rice was wasted, but they were excited that they would definitely not be short of food again in the future.
The guards who escorted the food back were also startled by Gu Chengyu's actions. They stared at Gu Chengyu's crazy actions in stunned silence.
Gu Chengyu raised his sword again and stabbed them one by one along the carriage.
This move made the victims at the scene completely excited, "Rice! These are all rice! These are all rice!"
The victims looked at the rice pouring down with red eyes and were ready to move. Some victims could no longer bear it and took several steps forward.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards and government officials quickly surrounded them. They raised their swords and glared at the victims fiercely.
These victims are so crazy. How can they control themselves after seeing so much food?
Under the temptation of food, it is absolutely possible to do anything crazy.
Gu Chengyu naturally knew that his actions had aroused the excitement of the victims, and this was the result he wanted.
Feeling that it was almost done, after stabbing the sacks on five carriages in succession, Gu Chengyu finally stopped.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu finally stopped, Ming Mo quickly wiped the sweat on his head.
It's just a little bit close. Otherwise, I really don't know how it will end.
He almost cried, my lord! Why are you so crazy? Before you do this, please let me know! You almost scared him out.
"Everyone! Have you all seen it? We are not short of food. As long as you do your job well, I will never let you go hungry again. The court will not ignore you, and I will never ignore you. As long as I am in Jiangnan
One day, I will do my best to plan for you. When people come, they will move the food to the porridge shed. They will collect wages on the left and buy food on the right."
Gu Chengyu gave the order, and everyone took action. If he didn't increase his favorability at this time, when would he do it? He had tried his best for the victims. He worked so hard, not just to do good deeds without leaving his name.
How long have the victims been cheering for joy? They finally see hope.
"The Imperial Envoy is a good official! Everyone, our lives are given by the Imperial Envoy!"
One of the victims was deeply moved and asked himself, if it were not for this imperial envoy, they would probably have starved to death long ago.
Although the other party's methods were ruthless, they were sincere in planning for them. From Hangtian Mansion to Yingnan Mansion, no matter how difficult it was, no one starved to death.
"Yes! Without the Imperial Envoy, we would have perished long ago. Before, we blamed the Imperial Envoy, and our consciences were eaten by dogs. We are really ashamed!"
Compared with those officials who were indifferent to them, this imperial envoy did a lot for them, which is rare.
"The imperial court's disaster relief funds are still on the way. Food and drink these days are all dependent on the imperial envoy's help. You have shouldered all the burdens and helped tens of thousands of us victims. For our sake, we have dealt with those merchants and officials, even sacrificing their dignity to ask for help. We also
We are not those people who do not know what is good and what is evil. From now on, whenever the Imperial Envoy has any orders, he will just give them to us."
A man walked out of the crowd, knelt down towards Gu Chengyu, and kowtowed heavily.
Gu Chengyu was startled and quickly stepped forward to help the man.
"Get up quickly. As an official of the imperial court, these are what I should do. The past few days have indeed been difficult, and I have wronged you all. You should take a longer view. When the water in Changtian Mansion recedes and the river embankments are repaired,
I will definitely rebuild your home for you.”
With a smile on his face, Gu Chengyu made a serious promise to everyone. He took a deep look at the man kneeling in front of him. This man spoke quite elegantly, and he must have read some books.
