In the blink of an eye on the summer solstice, after the ambush, the south did not rain, and many counties and counties in the Jin Kingdom had large and small droughts, with Chu Huai being the worst, and the adjacent Changshan Country also had five or six counties in the list of disasters, and most of the counties and counties were not dry.

The people of Changshan were full of sorrow, and before the harvest season came, a large number of people died in the fields, so that they could not feel distressed.

As the saying goes: there will be locusts after a long drought. If the drought is not effectively alleviated, once a locust plague occurs, there will inevitably be a famine in the food shortage, and the world is not peaceful and prosperous, and the foreign refugees will break into the territory at any time to compete with them for rations.

The people were anxious, the magistrates were even more anxious, and for a while, the disasters across the country were reported to the imperial court like snowflakes, and the imperial court wanted to deal with the situation in Beisai on the one hand, and on the other hand, it had to come up with effective strategies for the drought, which was simply a mess.

His Majesty strictly ordered the county officials to actively participate in the disaster fight, and sent several Beijing officials to the county to supervise the class.

It is said that it is the will of His Majesty, but who doesn't know that His Majesty is recuperating and the princess is in charge of the country, and it is actually Uncle Xu Guo who is behind it, and he drafts the decree and stamps it with the seal by the hand of the princess.

"Whoever said that the princess said it, it is the meaning of the Xu family."

"The Lin'an court can now be said to be the court of the Xu family, sad, hateful, and hateful."

"It doesn't matter if he is the Xu family or the Wang family, what are we doing, let's cure the drought well, don't wait for the locusts to come and complain, the people will eat you alive first."

The courts of various countries were filled with such angry voices.

Fighting alone will not help, and before they have time to come up with countermeasures to alleviate the drought, the locusts cannot wait to lay eggs and reproduce.

I heard that locusts had appeared on a small scale in Chuhuai's Kwai County, and the people under his rule shouted that they would cook the locusts and send them to Chu Huai for dinner.

"Can locusts be eaten? Is it tasty? Chu Huaihou has eaten? The first time he heard about this strange way of eating, Yuan Lingjun subconsciously turned his head and asked.

The county guard, who was also in the same direction, was startled, stuck his head out of the slip that covered his head, and shook his head in confusion.

He had just lost his mind, and he hadn't heard what the Lord had said. The county guard looked at Jiuwan, hoping that he could give some hints, but Jiuwan didn't say a word with a straight face.

It's unlucky, it only says that your concubine sent a court official down to help control the drought, as for who it is, it hasn't been revealed at all, and I don't know if the court official is good or not? How is the character? When they were panicked, the court officials who supervised and assisted quietly arrived at the county and blew up a cadre of county officials, and it was the king of Changshan, the king of Changshan! Now it's good, dozens of officials in the county have to go up and down on time every day, doing things with their heads, and whoever wants to deal with it hastily is the one who has to deal with it.

"What is the expression of Fu Jun? Hurry up. ”

Yuan Lingjun rolled up his sleeves and continued to walk forward, walking around the corridor, and finally stopped in front of an open door, and a few loud shouts came from the house, and a person ran out in a hurry, and walked to the atrium without looking back.

"Lu Yaoxue! Haven't you gotten straight yet? ”

Yuan Lingjun drank the man and walked into the house.

Seeing this, the officials who were busy flipping through the transcripts stopped their pens and saluted, and Yuan Lingjun waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to get up.

When the officials saw that the lord was seated, they continued to write hard.

"I'm."

Lu Yaoxue came in from outside angrily, sat down on the Yin seat opposite Yuan Lingjun, and shook his tail with fire: "It's all a group of wine bags and rice bags, if you use these few insmart brain melon seeds to think of a cure for drought, wait for the locusts to eat people." I'm not going to do this errand. ”

Why bother to be so straightforward in front of the lord and save some face? A group of officials with no brains hung their heads even lower after hearing this.

Recently, Lu Gongzi has been very angry, and I am really afraid that he will have nowhere to be angry, so he put them up one by one and criticized them fiercely. Many people slandered in their hearts: Don't look at the son's beauty, but his temper is so bad. His wife must have lived in the temple because he had a bad temper and couldn't live in harmony. Thinking of this, everyone seemed to have seen the inside story clearly, and nodded at each other.

"Give Lu Gongzi a pot of herbal tea and let him calm down for a while. I'm tired of loneliness, and there's so much more to see. Yuan Lingjun held his right cheek, leaned on the table, and while instructing the servant, he reluctantly picked up the excerpted book and read it patiently.

Since she has taken over the errand, she really can't stand the group of long-awaited ministers if she doesn't do it.

Grandpa Cen, Zhen Wangshi, General Huyan and others paid a lot for her pro-government, but they encountered drought at a critical juncture, Fan Jiang relieved her mouth and let her go down to the people to fight the drought, if she could alleviate the disaster within the agreed period, the pro-government would be just around the corner.

Fighting disasters and fighting disasters is easier said than done, but only when you do it is you know how difficult it is to be an official. There were many droughts and locust plagues in the previous dynasties, although they were recorded, but there was no good way to fight drought and relieve the disaster, according to the only clue description, the people should sincerely pray to the heavens for rain.

God knows when the rain will fall, and I heard that the princes of the county have been praying for rain and worshipping the locust temple recently. Does worship work? Yuan Lingjun looked at Lu Yaoxue suddenly, or she would also go and worship the locust god, maybe it would work.

Lu Yaoxue guessed her thoughts just from her expression, and sneered: "Don't even think about it." If it can be useful, Chu Huaihou will not have to eat locusts. ”

Yuan Lingjun pursed his mouth and turned his face to the side.

Lu Yaoxue poured a whole pot of herbal tea, suddenly felt cool, and his mind was clear, so he picked up the bamboo slip in Yuan Lingjun's hand.

After a busy morning, after reading a bunch of useless transcriptions, Yuan Lingjun was so sleepy that his eyelids were as heavy as iron lumps, so he simply leaned on a few and concentrated on napping.

I slept in a daze for a long time, the city beat drums to open the market, the maid came to report the meal, Yuan Lingjun got up and ran out: "Go straight down and go straight, you are going to starve to death, you should also hurry up and eat, go directly to the field in the afternoon, and remember to order it." "For lunch, she was going to the city store to eat cold noodles, and she didn't have a seat at night.

As soon as the words fell, the person was gone.

Lu Yaoxue followed her to eat snacks for a few days, and he was tired of it, as soon as Yuan Lingjun mentioned going out of the house to eat, he couldn't raise his appetite, and said that he wouldn't come out with her again. He would rather others say that "Lu Gongzi simply doesn't take the king seriously", and he would not torture and abuse his body.

Because of the heat, there are very few people walking on the road, and the shops that sell food and cold drinks are overcrowded at this time, Yuan Lingjun has been basking in the sun for most of the hour, waiting for the seat to vacate, and can't wait to ask for a large plate of cold noodles and a few thin flour cakes, and eat a little wolf bèi with the cold drink given by the store.

The lord was eating coarse food outside the mansion, and the county guard was not good enough to make the lord suffer, so he hid in the mansion and ate fine grain, so he brought his subordinate officials to follow him. The shopkeeper who greeted him was sincerely frightened, thinking that something serious had been done, otherwise the county magistrate would have come to his shop to eat, so he dealt with it carefully throughout the whole process and said a few decent words.

Yuan Lingjun ignored this, quickly ate the cold powder, and did not raise his head.

Seeing that the lord was about to finish his meal and seemed to be ready to leave, the county officials didn't care about eating Xiang Siwen, and gnawed the bread, swallowing extremely hard.

At that time, Yuan Lingjun put the last remaining thin dough cake in his sleeve, walked out of the restaurant in the hot summer heat, and pulled out the carriage in due time.

"Oops! How did you go......" and didn't wait for them. The county guard hurriedly dropped the basket, grabbed the bread and chased after it.

Yuan Lingjun shook his waist fan, and beads of sweat continued to flow from his ears to his neck, from his forehead to his eyes.

It's so hot, Yuan Lingjun couldn't help but move to the car door, lifted the curtain to cool off, but a hot wind rushed in his face.

If it doesn't rain again, the people of Li are afraid that they will send her a locust feast.
