Lu Changyuan's words have something to say. They are both Guangfu and Wang Shi's. It makes people feel very comfortable. Before they know it, the top hat who saved Luoding's people in dire straits was buckled on his head. superior.

But after thinking about it, this is not the case. No matter how benevolent and righteous this Master Wang is, no matter how he treats the people in the water and fire, Master Wang is also a human being, and he needs to eat in his stomach, so it is absolutely impossible to have no food!

Zhou Shixiang was impatient to deal with these sophisticated officials, regardless of whether they were telling the truth or not, he waved his hand and said to Lu Changchang: "We all know that the people are suffering, but now our army is in urgent need of food, the soldiers If you don't have enough food, you won't have the strength to fight the Qing army. When the Qing army comes back, you still have to raise food for them! So you don't have to say something useless in front of me and Master Song, what are you doing? The Qing army raised food, just how to raise food for us!"

After hearing this, Lu Changchang complained bitterly: "The fire broke out last night, and there really isn't much food in the city right now. Please be sympathetic to the people and give the people in the city a way to live..."

It's not that Lu Changyuan is reluctant to raise food. He also knows that whether it is the Ming army or the bandits who enter the city, this food, like gold and silver, is a necessary material for them, so the problem now is not whether it can be raised, but this group of people. How much food do you plan to ask for. If the number is large, it will be difficult. After all, half of the people in the city suffered from a fire last night, and the food was in short supply.

Zhou Shixiang thought about it and said, "I will not embarrass you. Although half of the people in the city suffered from the fire, half of the people in the city were not affected by the fire. So, the affected households do not have to pay food, and the unaffected households must pay food. Our army will never impose additional charges on the small mouths of the family!"

Song Xianggong added: "Although there have been years of wars and turmoil, there are more or less wealthy families in Luoding City. Last night, the Lin family of Datong Rice Shop volunteered more than a dozen carts of food to help the victims. , you should apportion more, and if there are unwilling people, you can report it, and this official will send troops to tell them."

When Lord Song said about the Lin family of Datong Rice Shop, Lu Changyuan and the little officials had obvious expressions on their faces.

"I don't care what method you use, in short, you must bring me food, otherwise, don't blame me for not being able to recognize people under the sword!" Zhou Shixiang threatened again.

A small official asked boldly, "But I don't know how much food your army needs?"

"this..."

Zhou Shixiang really hadn't calculated how much food he needed. He didn't even know how many people he could recruit as soldiers, and how would he know how much food he needed. Immediately, he said calmly, "I will discuss this matter with Lord Song and then give you an estimate. Right now, you should go and raise some food to send to the affected people, and then transport some to the yamen."

Lu Changyuan didn't know what Zhou Shixiang was doing, he hesitated to look at Song Xianggong, and waited for this "Sir Song" to understand.

Song Xianggong had no objection to Zhou Shixiang's arrangement, nodded slightly, and said: "General Zhou's words are my official's words, you should hurry up and deal with it without delay. This official will then personally inspect the disaster victims. Provoking public anger will never be tolerated!"

"Yes, my lord."

Lu Changyuan responded in his mouth, but cursed inwardly, bowed to Zhou Shixiang again, and then led him back with a look of grievance. Along the way, he also figured out how much he could take the opportunity to knock on those big households, and who should be gagged, lest the matter be leaked and let the bandits know.

As soon as they left the lobby, Zhou Shixiang slapped the table and scolded, "This surnamed Lu is unreliable and is playing tricks on us!"

Song Xianggong and the yamen clerks have been dealing with the yamen for several years, how could they not know their virtues, and said with a wry smile: "It's not reliable, there's nothing we can do, who makes us short, we can only rely on them to maintain, if they don't have them, we It’s even more difficult to handle.” After speaking, he paused for a while, and added: “If you have a soldier in your hands, you naturally don’t need to talk to these little officials. These people are used to seeing the wind and the rudder, and the sword is not around the neck. I don't know if it hurts, but looking at their talent just now, I'm afraid they will doubt us too."

Zhou Shixiang nodded and said: "We have to pull people up immediately, otherwise, we will be **** everywhere, and we have to prevent these people from making ghosts. I am afraid that Luo Ding won't stay for long."

After Song Xianggong heard it, he pondered for a moment, stared at Zhou Shixiang, and asked him, "What is Brother Zhou going to do?"

Zhou Shixiang said: "I want to recruit the young and strong in the city in the name of Brother Hu's General Luo Ding, first to expand our strength, as long as we pull people up, we don't have to be afraid of those little officials secretly stumbling us. There is so much more we can do.”

"We have the name of recruiting troops, but we need to have money and food to pull the team. Dare to ask Brother Zhou, where does the money come from and where does the food come from? What will happen when the team is drawn up? Could it be that Brother Zhou thought that Luo Dingcheng's three How many people can afford us?"

Song Xianggong naturally has no objection to expanding the team. There are many people and great strength. Even if they really can't beat the Qing army, they can at least hold on for a while, and they won't break the city today and have to run tomorrow. The key is that Luo Ding is too poor and the population is too small, and he can't stay here for long. Unless he is exhausted, regardless of the life and death of the people in the city, and grabs all the food and gold and silver goods in their hands, otherwise this ghost place can't support too much. Soldiers and horses, otherwise, why the Qing army only stationed a foreign commission with more than 400 people in Luoding, instead of the last battalion of green battalions!

But if you really want to exhaust the fish, I am afraid that without the Qing army to fight, the people in the city can unite to destroy the Daqiao Mountain, and no one will join their team!

Difficult!

Zhou Shixiang had a plan, and he said to Song Xianggong: "Let's squeeze some of the food out of the hands of the big households first, it's really impossible to apportion it with the people who haven't been affected by the disaster, and we'll talk about the future when the team is pulled together, living people. You won't be suffocated to death by urine."

This is also a way. Song Xianggong touched his beard and said, "You can collect some food from the big households in the city first, and we also have some in our stockade, and the two sides together can hold a lot of food. Yue. Silver, I'm afraid you made the idea of ​​Kong Guoliang's money, but I'm afraid this matter is not easy to move. Of course, there is no problem with Boss Hu, but you must know the temper of Ge Wu's gang. Pointing at them to get money out, it's hard!"

"Ge Wu and the others, let me talk. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

Zhou Shixiang said and patted his buttocks and got up to find Ge Wu and the others. Seeing him in such a hurry, Song Xianggong couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Zhou really wants to do a big job in Luo Ding here?"

Zhou Shixiang asked him back: "Don't Mr. Song want to make a big fight?"

"I'm..."

Song Xianggong did not answer this question directly, but turned to be a little worried: "Luo Ding's situation will not be hidden for long, and it will take a few days for Deqing to make a move. When the Qing army calls, let's go. Or keep it?"

Zhou Shixiang said: "The soldiers will block, the water will flood the soil! The Deqing Qing army really wants to come, let's fight them!"

"Fight? Can we fight?"

Song Xianggong was not as courageous as Zhou Shixiang, and he was even more skeptical about the outcome of the battle.

Seeing this, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but say proudly: "No one thought that we would be able to take Luoding City, but the fact is that we are in Luoding City! What a battle we can't fight, what we are afraid of is that we are guilty of our own timidity! As long as we are not afraid, we may not lose everything! Even if we lose, it doesn't matter! , Now that I have the opportunity, why can't I fight with the Qing army! If you win the king or lose the bandit, you can only pay with your life, what are you afraid of!"

"it is good!"

Hearing these arrogant words, Song Xianggong couldn't help but his blood welled up in his heart, he gave a high five, and shouted: "Brother Zhou is so brave, no matter what, I will give my life to accompany Brother Zhou to fight against the Qing army!"
