"Give the order to open the city gate and let them in first." Zhang Feimo finally spoke with difficulty.
"Sir, you absolutely cannot do that. Once this is taken in, our Heshan County may be in chaos."
"First, let Qiao Jingfu count how much silver and money our government has left. Aren't all the previous disaster relief funds distributed yet? Keep them for now." Zhang Feimo ordered.
"Your Excellency is confused. Our government has already announced that the money will be distributed. If we don't, I'm afraid it will cause public outrage."
Ji Xiangfeng couldn't help but persuade.
"Don't we have more than 200,000 taels of relief money? It shouldn't take more than 200,000 taels to take in these refugees. We can give some of it and use the rest to take in these refugees."
Chi Feixuan, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke.
"Master Chi, you don't know that the people of Heshan County are already starving. If we continue to take in these refugees in Heshan County, I'm afraid they will starve to death here, because we don't have any extra food to give them in Heshan County."
Hu Yuhao explained earnestly.
"Just because you don't have it in Heshan County doesn't mean other counties don't have it either. If we have silver, food won't be a problem at all."
Chi Feixuan said with certainty.
He had the same idea as Zhang Feimo and felt that they should be taken in.
Whose life is not life?
If possible, who doesn’t want to live a good life?
As soon as these words came out, the two were speechless.
Of course they knew this truth, but doing so would only increase the pressure on their Heshan County.
Although two hundred thousand taels is a lot, there will be little left after distributing some of it to the people.
What’s more, refugees cannot be taken in simply by saying so.
There have always been bandits mixed in with the refugees. Once they are allowed into the city, Heshan County will surely be in chaos.
"You don't have to worry about other issues, just follow my instructions first!" Zhang Feimo said to the two of them.
This unquestionable tone forced the two to obey.
Then Zhang Feimo handed the letter in his hand to Ji Xiangfeng and asked him to send it out.
Patting Chi Feixuan on the shoulder, he said, "I was so anxious just now that I didn't even think about this problem. I just wanted to borrow it, not buy it."
"Fifth brother, you are confused by the authorities. Once you leave this mansion, you will realize it."
Chi Feixuan still knows Zhang Feimo very well.
"Then I'll arrange it now." Hu Yuhao said to Zhang Feimo.
The matter is settled, and as subordinates, they can only try their best to assist the master.
In fact, they are not cruel, they just want to protect the people of Heshan County.
After saying this, the two of them couldn't wait to walk towards the gate of the mansion.
"Let's go to Quanyong County first. That county is relatively wealthy and their crop yields are high. I'm sure we can buy a lot of food there."
Zhang Feimo said to Hu Yuhao who was already at the door.
"Sir, even if you don't tell me, the first thing I think of is Quanyong County."
Quanyong County was not far from his Heshan County. Furthermore, there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the two counties, so he would naturally go to them first to buy grain.
It is also the most suitable place.
"Sir, where should we keep them?" Ji Xiangfeng asked, turning his head.
Once the city gate is opened, refugees will surely pour in, and there must be a place for them to stay.
"Temple, do you have a temple in Heshan County? A Buddhist temple." Chi Feixuan spoke again.
