Rong Bai hadn't been to town in days, and she had recently installed traps at home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Rong Bai's hunting ability allows the family to have meat to eat at almost every meal. But there are some things, not only can they not be eaten as meat, but they must be prevented from getting into the house and stealing food. These things are rats.

I don't know what's going on, but lately, the rats in the mountains have become a plague. From time to time, rats can be seen running around, and even snakes in the mountains will follow rats to appear wantonly.

There were more snakes in the mountains, and Rong Bai didn't dare to take his two children up the mountain, so he could only leave them at home for Hengqing to take care of and find the cause of the rat plague by himself. That's right, the current environment can only be called a rat plague. The swarms of rats are more aggressive than beasts, and they are suicidal.

Rong Bai was almost surrounded to death by a swarm of rats once. In the end, he had to kill all the rats to escape and ascend to heaven. It's horrible.

Rong Bai felt that when the rats in the mountains turned into a disaster, the rats in the town had already turned against the sky. In addition to the half-starved people, there were rats running all over the streets, countless rats. Running from one man's house to another's house, there is not a grain of grain left. The county order really had no choice, so he took out the Heding Red, which was originally a banned drug, and the streets were full of bait accompanied by Heding Red and poisoned rats.

However, this does not slow down the rat infestation.

Because, already people who can't afford to eat, start the idea of beating those rats that have been poisoned. There are constantly people who are poisoned by dead rats.

"Where's the grain!" There was chaos in the county magistrate's mansion, the middle-aged magistrate was much thinner, and the clothes on his body were also wrinkled, obviously he hadn't rested for a long time. "The official handed over the fold a month and a half in advance, and now tell me that there is no food, where is the food!"

"It's not that there is no food, the food for disaster relief was transported here from Quzhou half a month ago, but it was ...... at the junction a few days ago" The next words, the physically and mentally exhausted strategist could no longer speak. When it was so fatal, those bandits still dared to rob the disaster food, so they weren't afraid that those ghosts who died unjustly would come to the door at night?

"A bunch of Diao people!" the county magistrate gritted his teeth and burst out of his teeth word by word.

"My lord, this batch of grain is huge, and those thieves won't be able to consume it for a while. Why don't we send someone to serve their cottage and grab the food back. "The counsellor had an idea.

The strategist's idea was indeed good, but the thin middle-aged county magistrate could only sigh and refuse. It's so easy to say, but it's not very successful to execute. There is a serious gap between the number of swift arrests in the county government and the number of bandits, that is, the gap is not serious, and there is not enough expenditure.

"Liufeng, your plan is good, but this time we really don't have the ability. ”

"My lord, what if you gather civilians?" The problem of lack of manpower naturally came to the mind of the strategist. With this problem in mind, why didn't the strategist think of a solution? "What the people want to do most is to be fed and clothed. If we promise to distribute the stolen grain to the people, and if we give more food to those who participated in the suppression of bandits, I think there will be many people who are willing to contribute. ”

The county magistrate couldn't help but nod, this move was just what the person in front of him could imagine.

It was originally the disaster relief food given by the imperial court to Tongzhou, but now it has become something that inspires the people to suppress bandits. You don't have to contribute, you can still solve the current problem, and the merit is also your own.

Now the official will go to draw up a notice, and if this matter is done, the official will be rewarded. The county magistrate didn't care to appease the strategist, turned around and went to the side of the case and began to write notices.

"My lord, the brave are not short of food, and you may pay them a portion of your food into money. The counsellor spoke again.

That's another good idea!

I have to say that this strategist has simply figured out people's hearts. In Linjiang County, there are people who have money and no food, those who have no money and food, and those who have no money and no food, all of his methods have been pulled onto the thief ship. If you want to have enough money to spend, you have to go to the battlefield.

When Rong Bai learned the news, it was three days after the list was posted. Although Heng Qing is not in good health, his brain is smarter than Rong Bai in more than one plane. Therefore, what will happen in the town, Hengqing can't say everything clearly, and he also knows everything.

After seeing the rats that Rong Bai caught in his yard, Hengqing knew that his previous worries had become a reality. Now Tongzhou is not only facing drought, but also an even more terrible rat plague.

Even if he was fully prepared, when Rong Bai went to the town, he was shocked by the dead corpses all over the street. If it weren't for the different styles of the buildings, Rong Bai would even think that he had returned to the end of the world. The streets that used to be clean and tidy are now lined with groups of people waiting to die, except for rats and human corpses. Under the scorching sun, all that was left was skin covered with bones.

That kind of scene, even Rong Bai, who has lived in the last days for more than ten years, is a little unacceptable.

All the shops were closed, and there was no sound in the whole street except the moaning of the people. Rong Bai's eyes were full of shock.

Along the messy streets, Rong Bai gradually walked towards the middle of the city. Slowly, I could hear the chatter. That's probably the only life of the city. Rong Bai walked in the direction where the voice came from, which was the administrative center of the city, a place called the county office.

Outside the county office, there was a bulletin board, and Rong Bai didn't recognize the words on it. Of course, few of the onlookers around knew each other. Next to the billboard stood a man in a long shirt, and if someone approached him to ask him, he would explain the contents of the billboard.

Rong Bai walked towards the sign.

"What does that mean?"

"The county ordered the adults to recruit people to participate in the suppression of bandits, as long as they participated, after the suppression of bandits, they could get food and silver. The man looked at Rong Bai's figure, the little girl was thin and small, and she knew that her strength was not very good at a glance. So I didn't explain in depth, and just said a few words casually.

"I don't want food, how can I count it if I want silver?" Rong Bai now knows that the common currency of this world is silver, but this person's explanation is not detailed at all, Rong Bai couldn't help but ask: "For example, how much silver is it to kill a bandit?"

The combat power of human beings in this world, if it is placed in the last days, is completely beaten by fierce beasts. So Rong Bai is not worried about his own safety at all. Hearing this notice, Rong Bai was already calculating how much money he could bring home when he went out this time.

Hearing Rong Bai say this, the man in the long shirt was a little crying and laughing. I thought that the people around me would laugh and get tired, but I didn't expect that those sturdy men, instead of making fun of them, deliberately distanced themselves from Rong Bai. If you want to ask who still has food and strength to go around at this time, it is definitely the person who has saved his fortune on the dock.
