Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining was a little surprised when he heard this, "Have you arranged someone?"

"Yes, when I went out, I was worried that we would lose contact with the outside world. Then we would not know any news. Wouldn't we be at the mercy of others with our eyes darkened? So I arranged for someone to be with my father-in-law. My father-in-law is an extremely smart man and knows when to send me what news. He is responsible for inquiring, and my people are responsible for delivering the message. This way we can ensure that we know the most reliable news in the capital."

Qin Yining was even more surprised. This matter was actually Qin Huaiyuan's handiwork later.

"You didn't even tell me when you discussed this with my father."

"To be honest, my father-in-law told me this idea first, and I just remembered it. Sister Yi, my father-in-law is really powerful, thoughtful, and good at planning and making decisions. To be honest, my staff and counselors He may even stand up to his father-in-law."

Qin Yining could see that Pang Xiao truly admired Qin Huaiyuan and did not say this deliberately to coax her.

Qin Huaiyuan is a good father, and he is indeed worthy of the reputation of "Zhi Pan'an". For Qin Yining, Qin Huaiyuan has always been her pride and the backing for her to move forward bravely.

Just like this time she came out with Pang Xiao because she knew that whether it was the Qin family or the Pang family in the capital, as long as her father was there, everything would be fine. That's why she is so relieved.

Qin Yining smiled and said: "Before I went out, I saw that you and my father always met. It turned out that you had plotted so many things and still didn't tell me."

"What are you talking about? How can I have a conspiracy?" Pang Xiao finally coaxed his wife to be happy and his mood improved a lot.

They burned the secret notes. They discussed in a low voice again.

They didn't do anything else on this day. They simply ate some gruel and went to bed early.

This was the first time in a long time that he slept properly on the bed. Qin Yining was so tired from traveling and traveling that he almost fell asleep on the pillow.

Pang Xiao has a strong body, and it's nothing to rush him. Therefore, he is still full of energy at this moment, but Qin Yining sleeps next to him like a soft ball of soft jade, asking him to hold her in his arms. The movements were all cautious, so how could one have other thoughts?

Have a good night's sleep.

The next day, Pang Xiao went to the front room to discuss business with Gong You.

"Master Gong,

Although we don’t know when the rice relief from the Holy Spirit will arrive, we should still set up porridge sheds and medical sheds now. People are starving to death every day. We can’t watch everyone starve to death. Otherwise, even if the rice and money from the Holy Spirit arrive, the people who died will have died in vain. "

"That's what the prince said." Gong You nodded in agreement and said, "Xiaguan didn't dare to take action before because he really didn't know what to do. The food in our granary is only enough to feed the city's gruel for ten days, and that doesn't include inquiries. How many people will come?

"There was no porridge shed before, and I ordered people to check it out. Each family still had grain in stock, and they could also pick wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. It could last for a while, so I thought of saving the rice until it couldn't support anymore, and it could also help. They prolong their lives and wait for God’s rescue.”

Pang Xiao agreed: "What Master Gong said is true. What you did is right. At this time, we cannot say that we should feed them, but that it is right to let more people survive. When the money and food for disaster relief are provided, It’s all here, and it will be solved when the time comes.”

As he spoke, Pang Xiao took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Gong You.

Gong You looked at the pile of banknotes in astonishment, trembling his lips and said: "Your Majesty, is this?"

"When she went out, the princess sold all the valuable things in her bride price and dowry --\u003e\u003e

, plus the money from her dowry fields and shops, as well as her ancestral home, which was also sold, and the money was collected, oh, it also contains the money I earned from the wars over the years, but you also know that in the past, I The king led an army of tigers and soldiers and had a hundred thousand brothers under his command. He made a lot of money and spent money like water. He never saved anything. These banknotes are all one thousand taels each, a total of fifty, fifty thousand taels of silver. Mr. Gong, please use the money to buy food quickly. I believe that the money will allow more people to survive. "

"Your Majesty..." Gong You's lips trembled, his eyes quickly turned red, and he burst into tears almost immediately.

The master on the side was already moved to tears.

The four guards on duty started to cry even more.

They are all locals, and their whole family has been affected by the disaster. Some have lost relatives, and some are more fortunate. Their family members are still alive, but now it is impossible to open the fire.

Pang Xiao's fifty thousand taels of silver are enough to mobilize troops and generals to fight a war. Although the current situation is that transportation is difficult, the price of food has been raised, and the disaster area is in a state where even if you have money, you can't buy food.

But despite this, they didn't see the local wealthy people donating money, let alone any official in the court donating money.

In their impression, Pang Xiao was still the enemy who led the troops in and destroyed the Yan Dynasty.

But now it seems that he is so lucky to be a subject of Dazhou and to be treated sincerely by Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao is a military commander, and the mission of a military commander is to fight on the battlefield.

As the Holy Spirit said, wherever you attack an owl, you will hit him like a sharp blade.

Are the faults of past wars really all blamed on such a man who has a great heart for the common people?

"Your Majesty is so righteous! He was able to donate his property to provide disaster relief! I can't hold my head up in front of your Majesty."

"If there is a big disaster somewhere, we have the money and the ability to contribute. Mr. Gong's hair has turned gray because of this disaster relief. I came late, so what does it mean to bring out some stuff? Ours The purpose is the same, for the common people to survive, and that is enough."

"Your Majesty... Okay. This matter must be reported to the Holy Lord by the lower officials. We cannot let Your Majesty pay in silence."

Master Lu also said: "As well as the people in the city, when we give porridge, we should let everyone know where the urgent money comes from."

Pang Xiao waved his hands repeatedly, "This is all the arrangement of the Holy One. What does this king do?"

Gong You and Master Lu both understood. Pang Xiao did this not for merit, but for no fault, and only hoped that the people would get real benefits. If he really publicized it, those who were interested in the court would cite him behind his back and say that he had ulterior motives in winning over people.

They both understood in their hearts and were moved, but they nodded and said:

"Yes, it's all the Holy One's arrangement."

Pang Xiao and Gong You discussed the order of inspections in the four major counties under the old capital these days.

But if Pang Xiao doesn't let this matter be publicized, will he really keep it secret?

After the four station guards returned home, they told their families about the incident.

Family members always have friends, and friends always have friends. It was obviously a secret "I will only tell you, you don't tell others", but it was inadvertently spread out.

The next day, the porridge shed was set up, and hungry people lined up in front of it. Some people in the crowd commented that Prince Zhongshun took the lead in donating money to buy the grain, and the news seemed to have grown wings, and everyone knew it.
