    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    ? In Suzhou Mansion, Changzhou County Government, in the lobby, under the plaque hung high by the mirror, Hai Rui and Gui Youguang sat facing each other.

    Hai Rui's official uniform is not as bright as it was when he first took office. The corners are a little frayed and the color is a little black. It's hard to imagine that it has only been worn for a few months, and it has become like this.

    But if you look at his tired and thinner face, you will understand from the blisters at the corners of his mouth and the bloodshot eyes, how intensely he has been working these days.

    It is very appropriate and not exaggerated at all to use the sixteen words of 'day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, worrying and thinking hard, exhausting all my energy and energy' to describe it.

    "How long can the food in the city last?" His voice was hoarse and dry, not as confident as before.

    Gui Youguang has been standing there in a daze, when he was suddenly asked, he replied hastily: "There is still one more day."

    Hai Rui asked: "My lord is not here. My lord and I are in charge of the Suzhou mansion. Now I have to come up with an idea. What should I do if I run out of food after a day?"  The food extorted by extortion seems to be exhausted. If no countermeasures are taken to stabilize the people's hearts, if the common people become chaotic, it will be a disaster.

    Gui Youguang has also been under a lot of pressure recently, developed mouth sores, and the old hemorrhoids have also recurred. He stared at his red eyes and said, "Before I left, my lord said that the food will be shipped back tomorrow at the latest."

    "What if it can't be shipped tomorrow?" Hai Rui still said with a straight face: "When the time comes, there will be a civil uprising, what shall we do?"

    "Then what do you say?" Gui Youguang is a decent person, even if he talks to him in silence, he is very polite. Now he is not used to being treated like this by Hai Rui.

    "Borrow food from big households! I am the county magistrate of Changzhou. I will borrow from the big households in Changzhou. Wu County is entirely up to you." Hai Rui couldn't refuse, "Don't borrow too much, just borrow three days' worth of grain.  gone."

    "Borrowing food? That's not okay!" Gui Youguang shook his head and said again and again: "Your Excellency, I have to remind you to keep the stability of Suzhou City. Doesn't this loan tell the people that the government has run out of food?"  After the 70,000 shi of grain, he announced that in view of the special situation, the government would temporarily take over the grain stores in Suzhou City, and the grain would be sold in official warehouses, and grain coupons would be issued uniformly; of course, the grain coupons previously issued were also valid.

    In this way, ordinary people don't have to worry about which store will go bankrupt, and because of blind trust in the government, there will be much less panic buying, which is conducive to the stability of the people.  As for the various merchants of the Grain and Oil Chamber of Commerce, it is naturally the best thing to be able to dump this heavy burden that is about to crush people on the government's shoulders - because after Silence asked them to take out two million taels of silver,  He took over all their bad debts, and guaranteed that even if it collapsed completely, the government would bear it, and had nothing to do with them; at the same time, he also guaranteed that after the incident subsided, whoever's store would still be whose store, the government would not invade.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "I can't control that much anymore." Hai Rui sighed and said, "It is precisely because of this kind of mediocre heart that today's situation will appear Tomorrow we will run out of food, the truth is now revealed to the world, there is nothing to hide  What?" He raised his voice a little and said, "Could it be that the disaster victims and the starving people will attack the big households by themselves and cause riots?"

    Gui Youguang is a guy who is good at planning but not good at execution. Hearing what Hai Rui said, his head suddenly grew bigger, and he said distressedly, "Okay, how can we borrow it?"

    "Borrow it in the name of the yamen, let's borrow it, and the lord of the government will pay it back." Hai Rui said irresponsibly, "So just borrow it, no matter if it's cheating or cheating, as long as you can borrow it."

    "Okay, I'll try it." Gui Youguang said hesitantly, "But I, I don't know if I can borrow it."

    "If you can't borrow it, hurry up and flee with your family." Hai Rui's expression seemed to have remained the same for thousands of years. He picked up his official hat, stood up, and strode out.

    "Hey, why is this person like this?" Gui Youguang muttered depressingly, then picked up his black gauze hat, and followed him outside.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~

    After leaving the county government office, the two went their separate ways, and went to borrow food from big households according to their own style

    Hai Rui's method is very simple. He brought a brigade of yamen servants and hundreds of ordinary people, and began to visit the county's richest people one by one

    'Dangdangdang' Hai Rui knocked on the door.

    "Who?" Menzi asked.

    "Hai Rui, the magistrate of Changzhou."

    The door opened quickly, seeing so many people, wanted to close it, ?"Two million taels of silver, even if you go to various prefectures and counties to buy market-priced rice, you can still buy two to three hundred thousand shi, right? Knowing that there is a shortage of grain in Suzhou, why haven't you sent it back yet!"

    He was gesticulating excitedly, but he saw Gui Youguang staring blankly at the northwest direction, as if possessed by a demon.

    Hai Rui's heart moved, and as he looked over, he saw a big ship in the fiery sunset, with three sails flying high, coming with the wind!  Looking at the back of the big boat, the grain boats are all full of sails, covering the entire river.

    When he saw the word "Suzhou" hanging high on the big ship in front, Hai Rui's heart almost jumped out of excitement, and Gui Youguang's eyes filled with tears, and he shouted excitedly:  "Come on, come on, let me just say it, the adults have not abandoned us!"

    When the fleet docked, the wharf was crowded with people who had heard the news. People looked up at the red lanterns with white background and the eye-catching word "grain" on each ship, discussing excitedly, and most of the mood  Incomparably joyful, relieved Of course, there are also those who have ulterior motives, such as mourning and contemplating concubines, unable to control themselves.

    Hai Rui and Gui Youguang quickly dispatched all the soldiers to form a thick cordon facing the people to prevent bad guys from taking the lead in looting.

    After everything was arranged, the two went over to meet the adults excitedly.

    I saw Shen Mo sitting on the bow of the big boat with a smile, reclining on the grand master's chair, but not wearing an official uniform, but a beautiful maroon lake silk deep coat, holding a book bound in his hand, with a very leisurely attitude, affectionate and unrestrained  .  Standing beside him was a girl in a light yellow dress, using a feather fan to drive away the bugs on the river for him. This is not going to sell food, it is clearly an outing!¡ª¡ª
