"You ask! Ask now!"

"Thank you, Master."

Jia Sidao looked at Li Mingfu and smiled slightly, "Mr. Li is very well-informed..."

"Haha, wherever you are, you just use His Majesty's 200,000 taels of silver to win people's hearts, but don't Jia feel ashamed of the bran that the victims eat for livestock?"

Li Mingfu interrupted Jia Sidao's words and said with a smile.

"Where did this come from? The fact that Zheng Daguan bought bran and bran was actually heard by Lord Li. It seems that he was really attentive, and Shi Xian was very pleased!"

“…”

Li Mingfu was stunned, including Qiao Xingjian and others, and they were also a little stunned. In this situation, Jia Sidao actually said such things. Could it be that there is something wrong with his mind?

"Please give me advice from Mr. Jia." Li Mingfu forced a smile.

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver can buy 100,000 stones of grain. There are 200,000 victims outside the city. Of course, there are 200,000 people now. So what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Everyone knows in their hearts that it will definitely not be 200,000.

One hundred thousand stones of grain, oh, this is the best situation. It still requires someone to be willing to sell it to the court to buy one hundred thousand stones of grain. Even if it is one hundred thousand stones of grain, it is only enough for 200,000 people outside the city to eat for three days... or even three days. Is this right?"

"Is this the reason why Mr. Jia uses the bran eaten by livestock to give to refugees... people?"

"Are refugees still considered human?"

"What did you... say?" Li Mingfu stared at Jia Sidao with wide eyes.

"Haha, Lord Li doesn't need to glare at me. Do you know that the person who is about to starve to death is no longer a human being, that is a beast. As long as you can live, you still care about bran. It's a good thing, grassroots, tree bark, and soil can be eaten... Sometimes, even beasts are worse than..."

"This statement comes from the mouth of Mr. Jia, who has read the saints' studies, and it is really shocking."

"Shocked? Haha, have you ever seen someone who is thrust to death by eating a kind of soil called Guanyin earth?"

“…What is Guanyin Land?”

"Mr. Yuan, Lord. Li, Qiao Xiang, have you ever seen Mr. Zheng?" Jia Sidao looked at Qiao Xingjian, Zheng Qingzhi, Yuan Fu and others and said.

No one paid attention to him, but their expressions showed that they had never seen him.

"Mr. Li, please look at it. You don't know. Neither of the respected masters in the court knows. Then the official asked you again, have you ever seen all the barks of all the trees in this Thousand Mile Plain gnawed?

Oh, of course, the allusion of "eating with a strange child" must have been heard of, of course, Lord Li has heard of it. It is just four words in history books. If you want to eat it, it is just a pile of meat in the pot. Lord Li thought the lower officials were inhumane, did he think that the lower officials used His Majesty's money to win people's hearts, did he think?

For over one million refugees, no matter how much food the court sent to the disaster relief, the officials are sure that they will never be enough, let alone, the court has no food to the officials, and the officials have no food to the victims. If the officials do not try to make some adjustments, it will probably take a few days. What you see outside Lin'an City is not the refugees, but...there are...the bones!"

There was a dead silence in the Qinzheng Hall.

"This... the food funds for disaster relief are not enough, so you can ask the court to remit it..." Li Shao glanced at Zhao Yun with a pale face and hesitated.

"Does the imperial court have any money? In fact, you all know better than the officials. Just to prepare for the Battle of Meng Shuai's Xiangyang, the emperor had to issue nine million Huizi again... Where did the money come from in the court to provide disaster relief for the officials?"

"... The emperor also gave 200,000 taels of silver, but Lord Jia waved his hand and gave it to the officials in the mansion, hum!"

"Mr. Li, save the people first. Even officials can't survive. What else can you use to save the people?"

"Absurd! It's a ridiculous story to give His Majesty the money to the government officials to win the hearts of the people, but to give the refugees a living. It's really a fallacy. It's a big reason to embezzle and accept bribes!"

Li Mingfu's face turned pale. He found that the more he had the upper hand, the more he said it, the less reasonable it was.

"Absurd? Haha, Lord Li, who will send them the food for disaster relief? Should you send it or I send it? It is not up to those officials of all sizes. Only by saving them first and feeding them can they work for His Majesty! They are willing to work for the court. Otherwise, the food in the court may not be able to reach the hands of the disaster victims, so how can they save people?"
