Qi Feng is really a man who knows the hidden rules of officialdom.


    The graceful servant, holding the silver plate and putting the nectar, delicacies and delicacies, poured in.


    It is said that it is a feast to welcome the wind and wash the dust. It looks as exquisite as the Royal meal.


    Symbolically, with a few mouthfuls of dishes, Tang Hao raised his glass and went straight to the theme.


    "Brother Qi, Tang came here today to borrow something from you."


    Holding his fat belly, Qi Feng raised his glass in return and said.


    "You''re welcome, Lord Tang. Why bother Lord Tang to come here in person?"


    While talking, Qi Feng drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and a light floated in his eyes.


    "I just don''t know what it is. It''s worth arousing the public like this."


    Tang Hao slowly put down his glass, stared at Qi Feng and said.


    "Now the famine in Qingzhou is imminent, but Lord Qi doesn''t open his warehouse to release grain. I have to borrow grain from Lord Qi."


    The reason why the words are euphemistic is not only that Tang Hao deliberately shows weakness and reduces the other party''s vigilance, but also that he talks about the other party''s bottom.


    The more sophisticated people like this are, the less they can get the message they want.


    Sure enough, Qi Feng on the opposite side pretended to be in fear, frowned and quickly waved his hand.


    "Datang people are serious!"


    "It''s not that Qi is unwilling to release grain, but today''s granary, which is far from the reserves stipulated by the imperial court."


    Between the words, Qi Feng beat his forehead with a worried look, added.


    "My Lord, I don''t have enough food to store. I''m very anxious all day. I''m helpless!"


    "The food that adults want to borrow is a hot thing in Qingzhou. It''s really difficult for me to serve as an official."


    Although he had expected that Qi Feng had prevaricated, Tang Hao really didn''t expect such a well-documented prevarication.


    With his eyes slightly frozen, the smile on Tang Hao''s face converged and turned to be serious.


    "The plague of locusts in Qingzhou is imminent, and the price of grain is soaring. I came to discuss with Lord Qi to misappropriate the grain in the granary and release grain for disaster relief."


    Seeing Tang Hao''s intention, Qi Feng''s successful smile flashed by.


    Slowly picked up the wine glass, twisted his fat body and stood up hard.


    Shaking the cup in his hand, Qi Feng paced slowly and said.


    "Lord Tang is kind-hearted and cares about the people. The lower officials admire him very much."


    "But food is an important material. How can it be misappropriated at will?"


    "I just abide by the law and act according to the law. I hope you will forgive me."


    Between the words, Qi Feng had already come to Tang Hao, bent down slowly and raised his eyebrows slightly.


    "As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish."


    "These poor people always rely on state relief, which is not a long-term plan."


    "What they rely on is hard work, not reaching out to the hall without rice."


    Pop.


    Slap your palms on the table.


    Tang Hao stood up with a cold face and stared at the figure slowly shaking away.


    "At the beginning of the construction of the warehouse, it was used to deal with natural disasters and save the victims."


    "In Qingzhou today, although the people have surplus food, there are not a few beggars. If you bite a law when there is plenty of food, you are not afraid to punish your crime of hoarding goods and disturbing the grain market?"


    "Do you want me to take the Edict and confiscate all the food you hoard?"


    Smelling the speech, the figure in front was stifled, turned around and walked to Tang Hao. His face showed embarrassment and waved his hand.


    "Oh! Lord Tang, misunderstanding!"


    "It''s not false for the lower official to store grain, and it''s not false if the storage is not enough. The lower official also works for the Tang Dynasty hall!"


    Waving his right hand slowly, Qi Feng continued to greet the guards on one side of the hall.


    "The grain collection in the granary is the grain collection contract received from the government."


    While talking, the guard handed the contract to Tang Hao.


    Just as Tang Hao looked it up carefully, Qi Feng patted Tang Hao on the arm, then walked back slowly behind his back.


    "The drought in Qingzhou, the plague of locusts and the failure of grain harvest, for fear of instability in the morale of the army, so the officials buy grain only to enrich the military Grain Reserve and stabilize the morale of the local army."


    In other words, Qi Feng had moved to the table, supported the table, and sat down slowly with the help of his maid.


    He raised his glass comfortably, took a sip, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Tang Hao opposite.


    "Lord Tang."


    "You and I work for the court. It''s not easy."


    "Especially in this disaster year, my heart is concerned about the safety of Qingzhou. My lower official also broke his heart!"


    Looking at the emerald lamps on the table and the crystal clear glass cup, Tang Hao bit his teeth hard.


    "So, Lord Qi didn''t want to borrow the grain?"


    Qi Feng put down the wine glass in his hand, wrinkled his forehead into a Sichuan character, and shriveled the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.


    "Lord Tang, calm down."


    "I''m worried about the disaster, but I''m powerless. As the saying goes, it''s natural for me to repay the debt. As for the grain loan for disaster relief, I''m sure Lord Tang can''t repay the debt."


    "Why don''t you donate food?"


    After that, Qi Feng rolled up a grape and threw it into the mouth. He was very proud.


    Hearing the speech, Tang Hao felt a slight movement in his heart.


    A man who took out evidence, bited the law of the Tang Dynasty and refused to release food, actually wanted to donate food?


    Tang Hao''s eyes coagulated, looked at the relaxed and comfortable figure, and said in a deep voice.


    "How much are you going to donate?"


    Qi Feng turned his head sideways, revealing a touch of teasing.


    "A Dendrobium."


    Without waiting for Tang Hao''s words, Qi Feng youyou said.


    "The lower official was originally a small official in Qingzhou. His salary was small and he donated less. I hope adults don''t laugh."


    "If it''s really your own food, Lord Tang, as long as you open your mouth, the lower official will give it all. If you dare to leave one grain, you''re willing to give your head."
