026 Disaster
The merchants looked at each other, and they all felt that the national teacher's behavior was strange and difficult to tell whether it was true or false. After a while, Lin Fengyin came forward to thank him and postponed it for a while before leaving.
In a blink of an eye, more than 20 days, the court really announced the imperial edict. Lin Fengyin, a world merchant who was meritorious in disaster relief, became the president of the six counties of the Chamber of Commerce in the West of Qin Dynasty, which was equivalent to the official position of the seventh grade of the Great Qin Dynasty, plus a plaque given to Emperor Qin's personal letter, and went straight to Ningcheng.
There was a lot of joy all over Linfu, and even the rich people in the surrounding counties came to celebrate in person. In ancient times, merchants did not have enough to be an official and got a reputation. That's what rich people dreamed of. At this happy event, Linfu held a flowing banquet, which was really lively for a few days.
A few days later, the merchants in Zhou County left one after another. After all, the rich people in Ningcheng were worried and gathered in Linfu to ask him to make a decision on how to arrange the next thing.
But when he saw Lin Fengyin change his usual gloomy look, he looked at the crowd asking, shook his head and smiled bitterly for a moment, and then said, "We are all in the way of these masters!"
"Ah? Did she set a trap to kill Mr. Lin again?
"This... we have no way to live. It's better to have a big fight with her."
"Yes, yes. It's too bullying."
Lin Fengyin waved his hands and said, "You misunderstood. That's not what I meant." He touched his temples and sighed, "This national teacher is amazing!" More than a dozen men who have been in the mall for decades have lost to such a young girl.
"What the hell is going on? Mr. Lin, you said, you don't have to worry about it.
After everyone urged him, he said slowly, "These days, in Daqing, Linfu, the merchants in the surrounding counties have been sent to take charge. I invited them to talk about it in private, but they all said a strange thing. Our businesses have always had their own intermediaries, and they are all long-term servants and relatives in their own families. They communicate with each other. But a while ago, 90% of these people encountered an inexplicable little thing, or had to stay halfway after stealing a package, or caught and locked in an unknown place. Someone forced them to spit out the end of the inventory of each business, and let them fake the letter and come back to report their safety. Life is in the hands of others, and these people will naturally not disobey. It's exactly the same. Our Ningcheng business account is actually blindfolded. In fact, Zhoujun's grain acquisition is real, but it has only been accumulated for more than ten days. As soon as we put grain and donating food here, they also transport cars and horses to the disaster area.
"Is there such a thing? Isn't it said that these grains are allowed to be sold at a high price?
"This is what you saw with your own eyes, Brother Lin. Is there something wrong with what you saw?"
"There is nothing wrong with what I saw, but I stepped into someone else's way." Lin Fengyin sighed and said with a wry smile, "This matter is also not enough. How can I see such a private thing? It's also because I didn't think about it carefully. When I saw such a shocking thing, I didn't think much about it. Now think about it, all this is the bureaux of this national master, which has greatly deceived us.
The crowd looked at each other in con's face and stayed for a while before they reflected one by one. Some gritted their teeth, some sat down degraded, and even thought of those who donated money and cried bitterly. The hall was in a mess for a while.
Lin Fengyin smiled when he saw everyone like this, "Look at you guys. It seems that we are really losing this battle. The national teacher is completely silent."
"Well, she cheated us with a lot of money. What else can she do?"
"That's right, this man is so cunning."
Lin Fengyin smiled and said, "Are you confused? It's just a temporary thing. Now that everyone has just lost three of their family businesses, but they are safe and sound. The court also allowed us to build an archway, and the trumpet can have an official position, which is a big deal for Guangzong Yaozu. Compared with these, this national teacher is just a traitor with us, a profiteer and a profiteer, isn't that the case?
When everyone thought about it, although they were not very smooth, they were a national teacher. Naturally, it was not good to say more. Lin Fengyin said, "But although we have lost this matter, we can't lose. We should talk to the national teacher and let her know that although we have lost, we can get the money. But it's all real gold and silver. Losers don't lose. This face still has to come back.
Everyone agreed in unison. They were calculating, but they listened to the reports from the servants outside the door. Seeing that the disaster victims had been resettled, the national teacher had set out for the disaster area with the people who were willing to return to their hometown.
This time, he took countless disaster victims. Bai Shaoqing left Yan Lin to continue to settle in Ningcheng, and he took the guard food truck. There were also thousands of people who had recovered their physical strength and eager to go back to their hometowns for reconstruction. All the way to the west, what he saw was more and more desolate, bright as the golden sun was high. At a glance, The vast white land is crisscrossed with dense layers of deep cracks, and the air is rolled with smoke and dust, and the heat wave is rolling.
When the people saw this, they were in tears. Many people knelt on the ground and picked up the sand-like soil and cried bitterly. For a moment, the crying sounded the sky and the sadness was everywhere.
The team could no longer walk forward, so they stationed here. Bai Shaoqing always stood under the scorching sun and looked up until it was dark, and her figure in white remained motionless. In these days, many disaster victims have become more and more fond of getting close to this gentle national teacher, and many people come to her with concern. In the starry wilderness, Bai Shaoqing was among the crowd and chatted with the farmer's woodcutter for a very long time. What he asked was nothing more than some disasters in this place over the years and the situation in the past field. The farmers knew everything. Although the drought has not subsided at present, he can still find it in detail with this calm national teacher. Get some hope.
In the next few days, Bai Shaoqing arranged experienced farmers to lead the people to dig wells to find water, while taking several guards back and forth between the fields and mountains. The white clothes were covered with thick dust, and the green silk was dyed into a silver hair, but she was still full of vigor, constantly looking at the mountains and sometimes looking up at the sky. Empty, sometimes grab a handful of soil and grind it in the hand.
After more than ten days, the people have dug hundreds of wellholes in the nearby land, but there is still no drop of water. Everyone can't help but be depressed, and some can't help but be sad and cry. When they dragged their tired bodies and slowly walked back to the camp, they saw the national master in white kneeling on the table and bowing to the east.
"Ask for rain! The national teacher is begging for rain!" I don't know who muttered. The people rushed forward like lightning, knelt behind the national master, and the whole land was suddenly full of people.
