The one who came into the city with Sun Yu was more than 30 personal soldiers led by the evil dog. Chizhou was not familiar with the place and had just experienced floods. He was worried about having fewer people.

He Sima, who had just raised a batch of food and supplies, naturally also attended and accompanied Gong Qixia's own entourage guards, and five tables were included.

"Just so much first. If it's not enough, add it later." Gong Qixia held back his heart and ordered ten dishes and two jars of wine. Just this, one table costs more than ten taels, and five tables cost more than eighty taels. The yamen that was not rich would have to make things worse.

Sun Yu knew that Gong Qixia was very tight. He welcomed Shangguan but did not say that he had saved food. He had always had too much time to go to, so he would definitely not finish it. It was a tight hand, which means that the other party had a need, and this matter was more confident.

Sima He Zhiqian, who was attending the meeting, was very grateful. Fortunately, he did not embarrass the governor. Jiangning came from different places, and he actually talked and laughed with the marquis in front of him.

"The Lord is drinking this cup first, welcome the Marquis to our Chizhou." Gong Qixia picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

Sun Yu glanced at the wine in the glass. It was not Feitian, it was a little turbid, but the other party was full of thoughts, and Sun Yu drank it all in one go.

"Mr. Gong, did you encounter difficulties?" Sun Yu exchanged a few greetings with them, then went straight to the main topic. He had to go back to Quanzhou and send these people over. If it was too late, it would be the season for hurricanes.

Speaking of Daliuqiu Island, everything is good, but the probability of a hurricane is too high every summer. Looking back on this island, you have to build another cement workshop and use cement to get a house. When facing hurricanes, wooden houses are similar to paper-paste, so the natives on the island usually live in caves.

"This, the grain warehouse has been empty, and the court's supplies will take two or three days to arrive. I don't know where the food for the victims tomorrow will be." Gong Qixia had just picked up a piece of meat, and he couldn't help but put it down when he heard this. When he thought of tomorrow's food, he lost the mood to eat. He didn't know whether the IOU he wrote was going to work tomorrow. As long as the grain merchant was willing to collect it, he would be fine. For this official position, he had already spent more than 10,000 taels, and he couldn't care about the extra two thousand taels.

"This, the big city grain merchants must have food. Can you even lose money?" Sun Yu was stunned. He was a state, but he would never have even lost money in the warehouse.

"I have spent all the money and grain. Today's grain is still a white note made by the governor, which is a full 1,000 taels. The grain merchant finally gave me some face, but it's hard to say tomorrow. And people said that the price will increase tomorrow," He Sima shook his head. This official position is too frustrating.

"How much is the grain price today?" Sun Yu was stunned. Chizhou was too poor.

"Two taels of silver and one stone, this is still the case in the yamen. Ordinary people need two taels and two qians and one stone. Tomorrow, it will cost two taels and five hundred qians, which is 1,250 taels." He Sima pinched his finger and calculated that it should be this number.

"Only 100,000 people, five hundred stones? Can this be eaten?" Sun Yu thought that one person could only have three or four taels of food a day, and he would not be able to drink porridge.

"If you can't starve, you just burn the incense. The Marquis is not a minister who doesn't want to, there's no way." Gong Qixia quickly cried out, but he didn't even have a penny of money and grain, and he paid 1,000 taels of money, so he was afraid that he would starve to death. Gong Qixia also wanted to make money, but it was impossible.

Because of making money, starving victims to death, there is still a bottom line.

"Evil dog, send someone out and let the cavalry battalion go to the back to pick him up. Let the baggage regiment transport 1,000 stones of grain first, and it must arrive tomorrow at noon." Sun Sandao's baggage regiment followed behind and transported food and grass, because he was afraid that due to the disaster, the grain merchants would raise prices on the spot and make people fleece.

Today's baggage regiments are all carriages heading north this time, and there are many four-wheeled carriages, which are not much slower than those of cavalry. They will arrive tomorrow at noon.

"Thank you, the marquis." Gong Qixia was so excited that she shivered when she heard this. This meal is worth it. At least there is no need to call the IOU tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"The court asked me to accept the victims, which is a good move, but the food provided by the court to provide relief to the victims will be my turn after it arrives. Of course, I will pay back the IOU I sent to the grain merchants before." Sun Yu signaled Gong Qixia to sit down, which was also his own duty.

"It should be, it should be." Gong Qixia pointed his head straight, as long as he went over the current level, all the victims left, so of course he could not give this relief.

He Zhiqian was depressed. This governor was too brainless. In this government warehouse, the rats were almost starved to death. You didn’t know where the salary from this yamen came from. He Zhiqian glanced at Sun Yu and the evil dog, swallowed the words to his mouth, but he didn’t have the courage.

"Mr. Gong, as far as I know, except for the tens of thousands of victims outside this city, life is not easy to live in other places. Many places and fields are destroyed. There are still some stuttering now, but this winter may not be able to survive." Sun Yu was full of worry and picked up a piece of chicken leg and put it in his mouth. It tasted pretty good.

"This, I can only wait for the autumn harvest before thinking about a solution." Gong Qixia's relaxed just now and then sank again. The people's surplus grain usually lasts until after the autumn harvest. If there is no good harvest in autumn, it will be impossible to pass this winter.

"I'd like to ask the marquis to point out the clear road." He Zhiqian kicked under the table and quickly stood up to ask Sun Yu for advice. Since this person mentioned it, he would definitely be behind and would not be targeted.

"Sir Sima, why are you kicking me?" He Zhiqian looked at He Zhiqian in a confused look when he was busy dealing with the evil dog who was eating.

He Zhiqian looked embarrassed and didn't notice it just now. The evil dog's legs were too long and he kicked it wrong.

"Sorry, I'm excited for a moment and apologize for alcohol." He Zhiqian raised his glass and drank it all, finally resolving the embarrassment.

"It's refreshing!" The evil dog also raised his glass to drink. He didn't understand these things, and it would be better to eat and drink well.

"This, one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released. You might as well see, those seriously damaged villages and those who don't have many acres of land at home, let me go to the south. Staying here will also add a burden to the government." The family has a lot of land and will definitely not want to leave. Only those who do not have enough surplus grain for the winter can go with him.

"This is not suitable. Looking back, the tax will be reduced next year." Gong Qixia shook his head when he heard this. He was still thinking about collecting the capitol tax. Everyone left, who would he ask for?

"You think, if this person doesn't leave, he will starve to death in winter. You will be a nonsense tax. If you want to starve to death, you have to go to help. That's the case. No matter how you calculate it, it's all a loss." Sun Yu had already seen that Gong Qixia had no experience in managing the place, so he fooled it first. As for what, what's going on.

Qian is a smart person and should not say it out loud. After all, this matter is beneficial if it is a combination.

In fact, most of these people who have suffered from disasters and have no food to spend the winter will go out to borrow money or sell their fields, and they will always survive. Even if some people starve to death and freeze to death, they will lose their ability to work, which is the survival of the fittest.

"That's the case." Gong Qixia thought to herself, it seemed like this. Not only did she not receive taxes, she also had to pay it over. Otherwise, if there were many people who starved to death, her evaluation would definitely be inferior. If someone submits another memorial and impeachment, she might be demoted.

"And, these people have followed me. Although there are not many places here, they cannot take them away. There are also many places. Although the house is broken, they cannot take them away, right? From now on, they are all public property of the government. When they are done, the treasury will become rich." Sun Yu continued to tempt, and he did not believe that the other party who became poor can bear it.

Gong Qixia calculated the account. If the per capita land is one acre of land, ten thousand people will be ten thousand acres. In Chizhou, a land of about five taels of silver is about five taels of silver. Of course, this year is not worth the price, but you can wait for next year to sell it. I will go, this is 50,000 taels of white silver, and those broken houses will always be someone who wants it. Those who have more sons, how can they get married without a house? At worst, you can buy it and rebuild it again. At least the land under the house is valuable. How much does it cost? I don’t dare to forget it, it’s too much.

"If the court investigates it, the population will not match..." He Zhiqian also looked intent. If the money is not stolen or robbed, the person who sees it will have a share. But he is afraid that the court will investigate it, and he will be almost the first person.

"The disaster in Chizhou is severely affected, and the demographic statistics are not very accurate, which is normal. Besides, the corrupt officials in the past are just people who are just in charge of the body. They conceal the disaster situation and hide some severely affected areas without reporting them." Sun Yu continued to come up with bad ideas.

By the way, these two people want money, but are unwilling to do their best, and they have to think of a way out for them themselves. This is not good.

"Mr. Marquis, it's reasonable!" Gong Qixia and He Zhiqian looked at each other and said in unison. Anyway, the victims of the disaster would follow Sun Yu to the south, and there was no way to investigate in the future. This matter was safe enough.

"Marty, what if they don't want to do this?" He Zhiqian felt that the most difficult thing was to let those victims go south with Sun Yu. If they were forced, there would definitely be trouble, and it would be best if they were willing to follow Sun Yu.

"If it is all done by me, then I will have to take up one share of this benefit. Do you think of me?" Sun Yu picked up the wine glass and really regarded himself as a master. He had to give him any advice on everything.

"Mr. Marquis said, let's discuss this matter when we go back." Although Gong Qixia had no experience in governing the local area, he knew the meaning of Sun Yu's voice, and the other party was obviously unwilling to continue to get involved. He immediately said to He Zhiqian, and when they returned to the government, they would make a good decision and try to do it as beautiful as possible. If they did well, just this ticket would not only pay off all the debts, but also have a lot of surplus.
