C236 Long Time No See

8th of August, Xiaoyu.

After experiencing the chaos of the Luori River's flood and the water pollution, This month was a month for the people of Cangnan Domain. It was truly a time of many calamities.

The sudden disaster was like a warning, causing the people of Cangnan Domain to fall into despair. Many of them thought that they would not be able to survive in this world of disaster, but a miracle still happened in the end.

A young man from the Jinxia City killed a flood dragon, moved a mountain and broke a river, and saved the people from suffering.

Chu Yun's appearance had given many people a fiery hope. However, after the excitement and hot blood in their hearts cooled down a little, an even colder and more realistic problem emerged in their hearts.

That was. . .

Hunger.

Since the flood started at the beginning of August, most of the food in Cangnan Domain had already been consumed, or rather, most of the stored food had already been destroyed by the flood.

Because there had always been something more terrifying than the lack of food during these past few days, the public's attention was not focused on this place at the first moment.

And now, those terrifying disasters had already passed, and a lack of food had become a problem that could not be ignored.

As the Region Lord of Cangnan Domain, Fu Qingyun had been worrying about this matter for more than a night.

She wasn't a naive and romantic little girl, so how could she not know what those profiteers in Jinxia City were thinking?

Now, with the disaster happening and the lack of food in the Cangnan Domain, the Jinxia City would definitely bring reinforcements, so that many people wouldn't starve to death.

However, they didn't come with good intentions. Instead, they came with greed. They wanted to use the ordinary food in their hands to exchange for the most precious thing of the people of the Cangnan Domain during this period of disaster.

In other words, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that this was a naked robbery.

However, there was nothing the Cangnan Domain could do.

Humans always had to eat. There was no way to live without eating. They had to give up some worldly possessions. If there were more people who could survive, no matter how unwilling Fu Qingyun was, she knew what kind of choice she should make.

"Sigh. . . "

Following a deep sigh, Fu Qingyun used her finger to pinch the space between her brows.

She had just received a reply from Jinxia City's Unitive Controlling Mansion. Unitive Controlling Mansion was currently gathering granaries and preparing three million kilograms of food to support Cangnan Domain.

This three million kilograms of food sounded like a lot, but in front of the millions of disaster victims in the Cangnan Domain, it was like a drop in the bucket. It would not be able to last for long.

According to Fu Qingyun's understanding of the Imperial Court, in response to the famine in Cangnan, the Imperial Court would probably take out around ten million kilograms of grain to provide aid. However, after going through layers and layers of plundering, how much was left was still an unknown number.

"I have told you before that the grain problem in Cangnan Domain is not a problem. "

Chu Yun saw Fu Qingyun's worried face and the corner of his mouth slowly lifted. He revealed a faint smile and said in a calm tone.

Fu Qingyun looked up at him and said, "I know that your Buping House has gathered a lot of food for the Cangnan Domain in order to deal with this famine. I'm afraid there are more than a million kilograms of food. But for the millions of people in the Cangnan Domain, a few million kilograms of food should be enough for them to eat for a few days. "

After saying that, Fu Qingyun shook her head with a bitter smile. Her heart was still incomparably heavy.

As the ruler of a region in the Cangnan Domain, no one knew better than her how much food was prepared for this famine. It would be an astronomical figure.

Chu Yun looked at her seriously and said firmly, "No matter how much food I need, I can take it out. "

Fu Qingyun was slightly stunned when she heard his firm words. For a moment, she did not know what Chu Yun meant. Was he telling the truth?

This sounded too much like an empty sentence, but also like an empty sentence. A man who had put on a strong front had boasted in front of a woman.

However, even though she had not known Chu Yun for a long time, Fu Qingyun knew that Chu Yun was not a person who liked to brag. No matter how unbelievable his words sounded, they were all realized by him in the end.

However, could he really take out enough food for millions of people to eat for at least a month in Buping House by himself?

Or, how could it be possible?

If the Godly Doctor Miss Xiao Lee he brought could save the food that had been washed away by the flood, there might still be a chance. However, Miss Xiao Lee had personally admitted that she was unable to save the plants that had died a long time ago.

Then, what should Chu Yun do?

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Someone knocked on the door, followed by Adjutant Li's voice.

"Master Region Lord, Young Master Chu. . . There are two people outside saying that they are Young Master Chu's friends. "

Fu Qingyun looked at Chu Yun. Chu Yun asked, "What are their names and origins?"

Adjutant Li replied, "They are a man and a woman. The man said his name is Zhao Qianli and the woman said his name is Xu Binglei. "

"Hehe. . . "

Chu Yun showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time and said, "Quickly invite them in. Those two are my friends. "

"Yes, Young Master Chu. "

Adjutant Li nodded and left. Not long after, complex footsteps were heard. When the door of the study was pushed open, Zhao Qianli and Xu Binglei appeared next to Adjutant Li.

"Good brother, long time no see!"

Zhao Qianli's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Chu Yun. He quickly walked forward and gave Chu Yun a warm hug.

Chu Yun's face was full of helplessness. He smiled bitterly and said, "I have only been away for eight or nine days. If I didn't know, I would have thought that I had been gone for a few years. "

"Every day is like a year, every day is like a year. . . "

Zhao Qianli laughed.

Beside him, Xu Binglei, the daughter of the Minister of War, appeared to be much calmer. When she walked into the study, her gaze swept across Chu Yun and Fu Qingyun's faces one by one. She nodded to them, even if she had seen them before.

"Miss Xu, we meet again. "

Fu Qingyun stood up from behind the desk and said with a face full of emotion, "That day in Jinxia City, I only met Miss Xu once. She didn't even say a word. She didn't expect that after the catastrophe in Cangnan Domain, Miss Xu was the first person who wanted to help me. I have no way to repay this kindness. "

"Fu Region Lord, you are being too polite. "

Xu Binglei slowly shook her head and said, "I have heard about the things here. The person who really helped you is Young Master Chu. I am just making a request to him on your behalf. The person you really need to thank is also Young Master Chu. "

Fu Qingyun nodded when she heard that and was about to say something else.

Zhao Qianli, who was at the side, laughed and said, "You all came here to thank me. Hearing this makes my ears sore. I came all the way here to deliver food. I wonder if anyone wants to thank me?"

Fu Qingyun With a smile on his face, Xu Binglei, who was at the side, could not help but laugh under her calm expression. The atmosphere became much more cheerful and lively.

Chu Yun could not help but laugh and shake his head when he saw this.

He had to admit that no matter what kind of environment his good brother was in, he had a magic that could make the atmosphere lively. This might be his innate talent.

After laughing, it was time to talk about proper business. Chu Yun looked at Zhao Qianli and Xu Binglei and said, "Tell me about the situation when you two came over. "

"After this period of gathering, we have collected a total of 4. 2 million kilograms of food. Currently, we have transported them to Cangnan Domain in batches. It is estimated that they will arrive within five days. "0

Xu Binglei said.

As her voice fell, Fu Qingyun slowly exhaled. It was obvious that she had relaxed a lot. This 4. 2 million jin of food was even more than the amount of food that the Jinxia City's Unitive Controlling Mansion could provide. With this more than 7 million jin of food, At the very least, they would be able to hold on for the next few days. If they could hold on for a little longer, they would be able to wait for the Imperial Court's disaster relief funds to arrive.

However, she knew in her heart that this was only barely holding on. Seven million kilograms of food sounded like a lot, but when distributed among millions of people, it made everyone tighten their belts.

It could be predicted that there would be a lot of people. During these few days, they would starve to death, but this was unavoidable.

"I know that the food we brought this time isn't a very wealthy figure for the millions of people in Cangnan Domain. "

Xu Binglei said slowly, then looked at Chu Yun and said, "You said before that you have other ways to get the food. I'm afraid the rest of the food will be left to you. "

In fact, when she said this, she was also very uncertain in her heart. Because even if she was a person who knew the inside story, she had no idea what method Chu Yun had to gather enough food to make up for this huge gap.

"No problem. "

Chu Yun nodded, his expression was as confident as usual. He said, "No matter how much food the Cangnan Domain needs, I can make up for it. "

This was the second time Fu Qingyun heard Chu Yun's confident words today. Perhaps it was because Xu Binglei and Zhao Qianli had brought over four million kilograms of food, her confidence in Chu Yun had increased a little.

She pondered for a moment and said, "With the current financial situation of Cangnan Domain and the purchasing power of the people of the various cities, if the price of food rises more than ten times, they have no other choice but to sell their properties and farmlands, or even sell themselves as slaves. "

Fu Qingyun meant to remind Chu Yun that if the way he got the food needed to be bought at a very high price, then this path would not work for the people of Cangnan Domain.

It could even be said that such a path was not much different from those tradesmen in Jinxia City who were preparing to earn money from a disaster. In other words, this was essentially the same thing.

If this was Chu Yun's solution, Fu Qingyun would not be able to help but feel disappointed even though she could understand it.
