Chapter 529

Li Mengsi didn't avoid Wen Jinrui and Xu Siyuan's meaning. Even all the people on the scene heard the words clearly. Even if Liu Deliang was trying to answer truthfully, he was still in the same place. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't speak.

After hearing this, Wen Jinrui's eyes suddenly tightened. Li Meng's words can be regarded as a provocation. If those words before were just the normal mode of getting along with Xu Siyuan, now this sentence is obviously beyond this range.

"I'm Xu Siyuan, of course, a servant!"

At this time, Wen Jinrui just turned his head to look at Xu Siyuan. Without waiting for him to move, Xu Siyuan suddenly stood up and straightened up. His previous tiredness was instantly swept away, and his momentum was not weak.

"From knowing the way of sages, I Xu Siyuan is the servant of the people in this world."

Xu Siyuan never felt that it was an ignoble thing to be a servant, and he never felt ashamed of it. Of course, not everyone was worthy of being a servant.

Hearing this, all the people present were stunned, while Wen Jinrui slowly raised his eyes, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.

"What a servant of the people."

At this time, Li Meng's eyes flashed, still looking at Xu Siyuan straight, but compared with just now, his eyes were obviously more appreciative.

"I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect that you, Xu Siyuan, have made some progress."

"Hum."

After hearing the speech, Xu Siyuan snorted and put the bowl in his hand back into the wooden basket beside him, he stood still and didn't mean to speak.

Seeing this, Li Meng didn't mean to continue to entangle. Instead, he handed the spoon to Liu Deliang and explained that he had left the pot. When he passed by Wen Jinrui and Xu Siyuan, he suddenly stopped.

Seeing that Li Meng looked at him again, Xu Siyuan just wanted to take the lead, but he said calmly, "come with me."

Hearing this, Xu Siyuan was slightly stunned, and then turned to look at Wen Jinrui. Seeing that he nodded, he got up together and followed up.

This time, Li Meng didn't have the sarcasm in his tone or expression as before, but he was obviously serious. Wen Jinrui knew that Li Mengding had something to say to them.

Up to now, Wen Jinrui can be sure that Li Meng must have guessed his identity, and I'm afraid that the reason why he didn't break it down is that, like them, he hasn't been completely relieved.

Li Meng walked in front of the house on his own. When he came to a house, he stopped. After looking back at Wen Jinrui and Xu Siyuan, he pushed the door and went in.

They looked at each other, and then followed. After entering the room, they found that the room was where Li Meng dealt with his affairs.

After they entered the room, Li Meng was already seated at the table on the left side of the door. When he saw them coming, he signaled them to take their seats. Then he handed over the pamphlet he had just got. "Let's have a look."

Seeing that Wen Jinrui didn't mean to pick up, Xu Siyuan quickly reached over and took it. Unexpectedly, just after looking at it, his brow was slowly wrinkled, and then his hand turned faster and faster. But for a moment, he had finished reading the original booklet, and his brow was already frowning.

"Hoo..."

After a long breath, Xu Siyuan hands the booklet to Wen Jinrui. After taking the booklet and looking at it, Wen Jinrui remembers what he told his subordinates when they just saw Li Meng. This booklet records the amount of surplus grain in the warehouse and the daily needs of the people.

This pamphlet clearly states the details of all the people in the whole Qing'an County, including the number of households, the number of people in each household, who they are, and who they are from other places.

Like Xu Siyuan, Wen Jinrui's brows are also more and more tight, but when she sees the last page, her eyes are obviously changed.

A moment later, Wen Jinrui moved her eyes away from the words on the last page, then closed the book gently and leaned back in the chair to close her eyes slightly. Seeing this, Xu Siyuan and Li Meng looked at each other and sighed.

For a moment, the room suddenly fell into silence, and the atmosphere gradually became dull.

The pamphlet just now is very clear, even the horses have been included in it, including the people in the county government and the people. The grain left in the warehouse is only enough to last ten days.

This is still based on the premise that the food can not be better than the present food, and there can be no mistakes or changes. Until then, Wen Jinrui understood why Li Menghui deliberately explained that a person can only take a steamed bun during the feast.

Although it is obvious that the officers and soldiers can't have enough to eat one steamed bread and one bowl of porridge, they even leave immediately after eating. I'm afraid they can't control themselves to take more.

As a county magistrate, Li Meng set an example, not to mention eating more gruel, or even a little sticky gruel, which he did not dare to monopolize. I'm afraid that his purpose was to avoid causing other people's dissatisfaction.Even if the officers and soldiers love Li Meng, and even if the discontent seems insignificant, when food endangers their lives, I'm afraid that this little discontent can be the beginning of catastrophe.

This explains why Li Meng does everything by himself. When he meets Xu Siyuan, he is even more cynical. Even though he knows he is in poor health, he still insists on letting him work and always abides by equality and exchange.

I'm afraid that all this is for the sake of balancing food and people's minds, trying our best to eliminate all possible hidden dangers, so as to ensure that when life is threatened, it will not lead to catastrophe.

This Li Meng is really extraordinary!

But in any case, judging from the consumption rate recorded in the current pamphlet, this grain can only last for ten days at most, and it is no longer possible to reduce it. After all, porridge is no different from white water. How much can it be reduced?

But it's a long way from the imperial capital. Even if Wen Jinrui returns to the imperial capital as soon as possible, and everything goes well, it will take at least half a month to wait for the food to come. But if so

"Tell me." Just then, Li Meng's voice suddenly rang out, "I think I can't do anything. What's brother Xu's opinion?"
