Pang Tongshan did not have as prominent achievements as Xue Rengui, nor did he serve as the head coach in foreign wars. However, he had participated in many major battles and was also the leading general of all the troops in several major battles. At this time, he could definitely rank among the top in the Tang army's qualifications.

With Pang Tongshan coming forward, the matter of providing relief to the victims became much easier. Not only did all the tents in the Youjinwu Guard warehouse be transported outside the city, but fifty stones of grain were also transported as food for refugees today and tomorrow.

On the open space beside the Longshou West Canal outside the city, under the organization of officials, the young and vagrants set up camp tents in the already planned locations. The wood needed for camping was all the Su Yang organized the young and strong to cut down and transport them in nearby mountains and forests.

At noon, Su Yang was carrying a large number of refugees and young men with people to carry, carry, and pulling a large amount of wood in a mule cart. At this time, a middle-aged rich family with a big belly came over with a group of servants.

"Stop, stop for someone!" The middle-aged rich man pointed at Su Yang and others and shouted, "Who asked you to cut down my trees? These trees are all masters, not masters. You cut down them randomly without someone's consent. This is theft!"

Previously, Su Yang had sent someone to inquire about the owner of this forest. He should have discussed with the owner of the forest to start cutting after the purchase is completed. However, time was tight and the camp must be built before dark so that all refugees could move into the camp tent to avoid the cold wind at night. So he had to lead people to cut the land first. The official who did not want to find the owner had not come back yet, but the owner found it himself.

Su Yang clasped his fists and smiled, "It turns out that this forest is a Yuanwai. Su Yang, the commander of the left street of Jinwu Guard in the lower right, dare you ask Yuanwai's name?"

The middle-aged rich man waved his hand with impatient look on his face and said disgustingly: "Don't get close to you, I don't care who you are, theft is theft! Tell yourself, how to solve it at this time? Is it public or private?"

Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, Su Yang guessed that this person was afraid of having a tough backer, otherwise a businessman would dare to clamor with him, the sixth-rank real power Left Street Envoy?

"I dare to ask the official, what if I settle the matter privately, what if I settle the matter publicly?"

The middle-aged rich family said, "If you are a public servant, you will naturally go to meet the officials. This is the territory of Xinfeng County. Let's go to Xinfeng County to ask the county magistrate to preside over justice and sue! If you settle the matter privately, the wood has been cut down and cannot be planted. I will calculate it for you two hundred yuan per piece!"

Su Yang frowned, waved to a minor official next to him, and asked him: "How many pieces of this kind of wood are there in Chang'an?"

"I'll tell you, this wood transaction is a square, not a root. This kind of fir is about nine guan per abbot. The specific price is not clear, but it is not more than ten guan per cent. However, it is all about one foot thick and thin. This kind of wood is not worth the money. If someone wants it, at most it is symbolic, and it costs ten cents per cent per cent!"

A piece of wood as thick as an arm costs ten cents, but the middle-aged and rich household called out a price of two hundred cents each. How could Su Yang bear this?

He stared at the middle-aged rich man and said, "Extraordinary, we are going to use this batch of wood to provide disaster relief. We are preparing to set up camp tents for refugees. You see, it is getting late. Today, we must build a thousand camp tents and shacks before dark. Therefore, please make it convenient. I bought these wood for five cents per branch by Zuo Street. How about it?"

"Five cents per piece? Hahaha... I think you're crazy. Two hundred cents per piece, and no one is missing, otherwise we'll go to meet the officials and sue!"

Su Yang patiently held back his anger and said patiently: "We cut down this batch of wood not for profit, but for disaster relief. The victims are so pitiful. I see that you hold Buddhist beads in your hand, and you must be a Buddhist. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level Buddhist tupa. The official will be kind-hearted and think that it is a good deed. How about it?"

The middle-aged rich man sneered, "You really have you. You want to do good deeds but use my family's things to those refugees. I don't know how to do good deeds myself. Why do you want to do good deeds? Besides, it's true that someone believes in Buddhism, but you don't have to eat? I don't have to eat if I believe in Buddhism? I don't have to eat if I have hundreds of people in my Liu family? I also want to make money to support my family! Okay, don't talk nonsense, today you don't need to buy this batch of wood for two hundred yuan each, we're not done with this matter! Come and report to the official!"

Su Yang's face turned gloomy and suddenly shouted: "During this disaster period, this person hoarded materials, raised prices, made huge profits, and made great money in the national crisis. He was really unforgivable! The person who came was taken down by someone and was imprisoned in Youjinwu Prison to be tried. No one was allowed to release him without someone's order, otherwise I would chop him up!"

"No!" Several soldiers threw down the wood and rushed forward to capture the middle-aged rich family.

"You..." The middle-aged rich man was about to make a harsh word, but a soldier punched him in the stomach. The pain made him swallow the words to his mouth. A fat face turned into pig liver color due to abdominal pain.

When the servants holding sticks saw that the owner was caught, the starving people and soldiers with fierce eyes were filled with fierce light. They were so scared that they lost the stick and turned around and ran away. They soon fled and disappeared.

Under Su Yang's leadership, a large amount of wood as thick as an arm was transported to the private camp, and it was very necessary to set up the camp tent. One tent was tied up. Not long after, a neat and orderly camp was built. More than a thousand tents were distributed in rectangular shapes on the edge of the Longshou West Canal.

As the tent was tied up, the next step was to dig a drainage channel, build a toilet, build a stove, and porridge shed.

In the evening, a pot of steaming porridge was cooked. The refugees took the broken bowls and chopsticks and took the team to the porridge shed to collect the meal under the organization and order of the officers and soldiers.

Su Yang brought a few officials over, and Cai He came forward to welcome him: "Eunuch, the porridge has been almost cooked, and the steamed cakes have been steamed. Do you think... Add some water to the porridge, otherwise according to this method of eating, these foods will not be enough for three meals!"

"Will you eat me if I add water to the porridge?" Su Yang asked Cai He.

"Forehead······"

Su Yang picked up a chopstick and inserted it into the porridge pot. The chopsticks were standing upright, so he said to the officials: "That's it, inserting chopsticks into the porridge pot without falling is a standard. Whoever is responsible for the chopsticks inserted into the porridge pot will be crushed, and do you understand what you know?"

The officials were filled with awesome hearts and quickly bowed and agreed: "Promise!"

"Start the rice, one bowl of porridge and one steamed cake for each person!"

Nearly ten thousand refugees did not expect that the dinner would not only contain such thick porridge, but also steamed cakes. Even if they were not eaten so well at home, a dish-like old man knelt down in the crowd and cried and shouted: "I am kind and kind, the heaven is so beautiful!"

"I will be kind and kind!"

"I am benevolent!" All the refugees knelt down one after another, and soon knelt all over the ground.
Chapter completed!
