Chapter 466 Tangli Finds a Solution
Master Lu ran to Tang Li and looked at her. He saw that the girl was very pretty and had an extraordinary temperament in her every move. She was worthy of being Gu Huainian's sister and the young lady of the Gu family.
"Miss Gu!"
Tang Li also looked at him and saw that he was about thirty-five years old, with a very blessed appearance, luxurious clothes, and a calm temperament.
"Master Lu?"
"Yes, Miss Gu, come in quickly."
Master Lu welcomed Tangli in.
"Miss Gu, hasn't had dinner yet?" asked Mr. Lu.
"Not yet." She was in a hurry and had no time to eat.
"Come here, serve the meal." Master Lu ordered.
"Master Lu, you don't have to be so polite." Tang Li said.
"I have to treat you well, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Brother Gu." said Mr. Lu.
"How did Mr. Lu know my brother?" Tang Li was a little curious.
"I was wronged at the beginning, and it was Brother Gu who tried the case. Brother Gu saved my life. Brother Gu and I became friends because of this. We hit it off right away and became good friends." said Master Lu.
When Mr. Lu thought of the past, he felt a little sad.
Mr. Lu first took Tangli to have dinner, and while eating, he asked Tangli why he had come.
"Master Lu, can you do me a favor?" Tang Li asked.
"Miss Gu, just tell me, I will do my best!" said Mr. Lu.
Tangli told the story of the disaster victims in Hegu County who were short of food and several grain merchants who were raising prices.
"As for the grain issue, I am not a grain merchant... but I know a lot of people, so I will take care of this matter!" Mr. Lu patted his chest and agreed.
Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief. This Mr. Lu was such a good man. Her brother's friend was indeed reliable!
"Miss Gu, go to sleep first. Tomorrow, I will give you a satisfactory answer!" said Mr. Lu.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu." Tang Li bowed to Mr. Lu.
If Mr. Lu could really solve this problem, he would not only help himself, but also save countless victims.
Mr. Lu arranged for the servants to take Tangli to the guest room and prepare hot water for her.
Tangli took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and felt much more refreshed.
Now that I saw there was a solution to the problem, my worries dissipated a lot. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Mr. Lu returned to his bedroom, changed his clothes, and was about to go out.
"Master, it's dark now, where are you going?"
"Go to Brother Zhou."
"Master Zhou?"
"Yes, I remember his brother-in-law is a grain merchant in Liangzhou." said Mr. Lu.
Miss Gu said that all the grain in Yizhou had been collected, so he could only find grain outside Yizhou.
Moreover, this is also a business opportunity for foreign grain merchants.
"It's late now, why don't we go tomorrow?"
"No, Miss Gu's matter cannot be delayed." Master Lu said
Mr. Lu ran to the Zhou family and told the Zhou master about this matter.
"Brother Lu, I will write a letter to my brother-in-law right now. I promise that he will provide the food that the victims need!"
"Then the price of grain..." said Mr. Lu.
"Don't worry, this is for the victims. I guarantee again that the price will be the same as the grain price in Liangzhou!" said Mr. Zhou.
"Thank you very much, Brother Zhou."
"Brother Lu, we have been friends for so many years, no need to thank me!"
The master of the Zhou family immediately wrote a letter to his brother-in-law and sent it to Liangzhou at full speed.
His brother-in-law's home is located at the junction of Liangzhou and Yizhou. If the letter is fast, it can be delivered in one day.
The next day.
Tang Li heard the good news when he woke up.
"Miss Gu, just stay in my house and wait for good news!" said Master Lu.
Tangli nodded.
I hope this grain merchant from Liangzhou can supply the grain.
I hope everything goes well and nothing unexpected happens.
After two days of anxious waiting, good news came.
This good news was not a simple reply letter, but the grain merchant came in person, bringing with him a huge grain team!
Tang Li looked at the grain team with his eyes wide open, full of surprise.
"Miss Gu, please take a look at this food. Are you satisfied?"
The grain merchant was Mr. Zhou's brother-in-law, also surnamed Zhou. He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, quite young.
He ordered several bags to be opened.
Tangli was very happy when he saw the grains that were translucent in color and smelled of rice.
That’s great! The victims won’t have to go hungry anymore.
"Miss Gu, there are a total of 1,000 dan of grain here. Let's solve the immediate problem first, and the rest of the grain will be supplied in succession." said Master Zhou.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Tang Li bowed to him.
These were the people who came to her rescue when she needed them most, so she naturally kept them in mind.
"Master Zhou, let's continue on our journey?" Tang Li said.
"Okay, let's go!"
After Tangli hurriedly said goodbye to Mr. Lu, he rushed back to Hegu County.
…
River Valley County.
Fan Yuexi frowned as he looked at the warehouse where only a few bags of grain were left.
The food given by Manager Shen was almost finished, and the remaining food was not enough for one meal.
What should I do?
Are the disaster victims going to starve again?
There has been no news from Tangli, and the disaster relief food has not arrived yet. Are there any other solutions?
Fan Yuexi was walking in the yard, thinking about something, a little absent-minded, and accidentally bumped into a disaster victim.
"Miss Fan, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Fan Yuexi looked at the victim and saw that she was carrying a bag. She asked in confusion, "Sister Chen, where are you going?"
"We need manpower to control the floods. I plan to go and do the work. Your Excellency, the Imperial Commissioner is kind. As long as they can work, we accept women." Sister Chen said with a smile, "The court is giving us money."
The victims were actually aware of the food problem. A few who were causing trouble were silenced by others. Most of them chose to go to work. Almost all the men went, and in the past few days, some women also went.
"Then what about your child?" Fan Yuexi remembered that she had a baby who was still in swaddling clothes.
Mrs. Chen thought of her own child and felt a little reluctant, but...
"Mrs. Wu is helping me take care of the child."
"You're still in confinement after childbirth, so you'd better rest for a few more days."
"Miss Fan, there's no such thing as confinement. When I gave birth to Daya, I went back to work in the fields the next day. We all know about the food issue. Miss Fan, you're a good person. It's hard for you to feed so many mouths. We have hands and feet, we can't just sit here and eat up all the food. Don't worry, we're still alive, how can you starve us to death?"
After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she went out with a few other women.
Fan Yuexi went to visit the victims.
The remaining victims were actually the elderly, the weak, women and children, and all those who were able to work went to work.
"Miss Fan!"
Just then, a man ran in from outside.
"Ms. Fan, this is for you." The man handed a bag to Fan Yuexi.
When Fan Yuexi opened it, she saw that it was full of money.
"This is the money the court gives us for working. You can use it to buy food," said the man.
They work, the court provides them with food, their wives and children are still here, and the money they earn is used to buy food for their wives and children!
