Chapter 362 Leading Song Mo astray

Houcheng, County Sheriff's Mansion

Lu Desheng received a letter of help from Zhang Xian.

Seeing the reason why they became the chief and deputy officers who went to Nanyang to deal with the disaster, Lu Desheng was speechless and complained to his daughter, "This Zuo Anmin is poisonous and stupid."

Lu Songli smiled and said, "I think he probably didn't expect that he would end up harming himself at the time."

Lu Desheng snorted, this thing deceived Zhang Xian and himself. The other important officials in the imperial court were afraid that they would be extremely happy. The two fools rushed to gnaw the hardest bones, and they were not so enthusiastic about eating meat.

Lu Desheng continued to look down, and then he couldn't help but be speechless, "Mother, Song Mo only gave this little relief material?"

After Lu Desheng became a local official, he became very aware of the food consumption of the local people. Who can eat this little food given by Song Mo?

Lu Songli smiled and said, "Dad, we can't blame him. You know, during the flood in Nanyang, he not only failed to produce food, but also earned millions of taels and a gold mine. This time, Nanyang was willing to provide so much food for the disaster relief …”

Lu Songli gave her father a 'you know' look.

Lu Desheng curled his lips, "Then he is so generous."

While Lu Songli was writing down her opinions on an official document, she said to her father, "Speaking of which, our emperor is very lucky. Since he came to the throne, the two or three major crises he has encountered have all been dealt with by people. Solve it for him."

It was difficult for Song Mo to ascend the throne, and the national treasury was empty at that time. It was the father and daughter who helped him and caught him two fat sheep to fill the treasury.

Then there was the flood in the Southland, which affected millions of people. In order to gain control of the Southland, Xie Zhan took advantage of the opportunity to control the disaster in the Southland and fed the emperor another mouthful of meat.

Isn't this a good life?

Lu Desheng glanced at his daughter with a strange look on his face.

He remembered the emperor's habit of employing people when he was in Chang'an.

The stepdaughter fed him the poisonous chicken soup of those who were willing to serve the emperor, and the emperor developed the habit of throwing away ministers every day. Reuse what is useful and throw away what is not. It doesn't matter whether the minister shared his worries before and was very mean and unkind.

Nandi was the first time the new emperor encountered a local disaster after he ascended the throne. Then the disaster was resolved, and the new emperor not only did not have to spend money on food relief, but also filled the national treasury. Such a dramatic experience was a very bad start for Song Mo.

It can be said that the two feedings by the daughter and Xie Zhan directly misled Song Mo.

"Daughter, what should we do about Zhang Xian's request for help? Do you want to help him? How can we help him?" Lu Desheng felt that apart from giving money and food, and providing work for relief like Xie Zhan did, he could not think of anything else. There's a solution.

But now that food prices are rising steadily, he is willing to donate some food, but only a little.

If you donate too much, he will feel distressed. This money and food are hard to come by, and Liaodong County needs to maintain stable food prices and needs to reserve food.

Moreover, this is Song Mo's world, he himself is so picky and picky, why should he, Lu Desheng, be so generous?

"Dad, the opportunity has come. We must help you with this."

"What chance?"

"Opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Lu Desheng remembered that his daughter had said that he would be the governor of Pingzhou, and his heart suddenly beat twice fast.

"Daughter, is this an opportunity?" Lu Desheng pointed in the direction of Liaoxi County with his finger.

"Yes." Lu Songli nodded, "Father, send someone to Nanyang." The law is not transmitted to the six ears, things are accomplished with secrets, and failures are revealed with words. Some methods will no longer work once they are leaked.

"good."

…

Qin Sheng and his party unloaded 20,000 shi of grain in Qingzhou, and the entire team's advance speed increased a lot.

They went directly from Bohai County in Qingzhou to Yuyang South and Youbeiping County in Youzhou, and then to Liaoxi County.

On this day, an experienced farmer told the head of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce that it might rain at night.

So, their entire army found a place to shelter from the rain and set up camp early.

Can you still walk faster? Qin Sheng didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't help but talk about it in his heart. We'll reach home after passing through Liaoxi County. How long will these people have to rest? Can't you just do it all at once?

Liu Erxi didn't understand why Mr. Liu was walking around, as if there was a needle pricking him where he was sitting.

"Mr. Xue, what's wrong with Mr. Liu?" Liu Erxi approached Xue Xu and asked quietly.

Xue Xu chuckled in his heart, what else could he do? He wanted to return home quickly, he missed his home and his wife. But when he thought about it, Master Qin Liu had been on his own and trained the entire team well, so he didn't expose his shortcomings.

"He's fine, you don't have to worry about him."

Qin Sheng finally thought about it, forget it, we can't count on them.

…

For the people of Liaodong County, after the autumn harvest, it is time to accumulate firewood for the winter.

Winter in Liaodong County is a long and cold season, and the demand for firewood and charcoal is particularly high.

Previously, a large number of folk craftsmen recruited by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce were assigned to different workshops based on the crafts they were good at, such as clothing workshops, planting workshops, and breeding workshops. The remaining craftsmen who have not been assigned will be under the management of the craftsman workshop.

Gao Jinghe is the master craftsman of the entire civil construction workshop. There are two or three other master craftsmen like him in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce civil construction workshop.

The New Governor's Mansion, Liaodong Academy, Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Headquarters Building, Ji's Commercial Building, etc. were all built by them and their craftsmen.

Following the completion of the new governor's office, Liaodong Academy, Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Headquarters Building, Ji's Commercial Building, etc., and currently, the outer city of Houcheng is fully constructed. They gradually became free.

On this day, the higher-ups arranged another person to survive. Gao Jinghe was a little confused, but he still went to call people, "It's time to work! Get up and work!"

The young man closest to Gao Jinghe stood up immediately. His name was Tang Jincai, and he was a small craftsman in the civil engineering workshop. A small craftsman like him could get about three taels of silver a month, and some grain, oil, cloth and other things would be distributed every month.

After he entered the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's construction workshop, he had endless work to do every day, so his family didn't let him work in the fields.

These small craftsmen like such a busy and profitable life.

And since he became a formal employee of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, matchmakers who wanted to propose marriage have stepped through the door of his house.

But his mother secretly told him that she wanted to find him a wife from Tianshui New Village.

Tianshui New Village...

Tang Jincai showed a yearning look. If it were in the past, his family would never dare to dream of it. But now, they can try to fight for it.

"Master Gao, what are we going to do this time?"

"Well, this is also a big job, but it's not difficult." It's just a lot of work.

"Well, what are we going to do?"

"Build a fire bed."
