Chapter 1059: Turmoil

Since Qingmu came to Fengzhou, she found that the disaster was more serious than she imagined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fengzhou experienced a drought last year, and the people tightened their belts and the government provided disaster relief, and it was easy to survive. There were two rains at the beginning of this year, and people thought the year was better, but it hasn't rained since. This year's drought turned the crops into wasteland. Qing Mu and the others walked all the way, except for some dry trees, there was not even dead grass on the ground.

There are not many people in Fengzhou who fled to other places.

Fortunately, it snowed in mid-November.

Two heavy snowfalls in quick succession have given people infinite hope.

The plants of this land are also pregnant with infinite hope.

The Fang family's plum grove will be the first to recover before spring comes-bloom flowers! The plum forest on a snowy night is quiet, the dark fragrance floats, and the plum blossoms on the branches are beautiful against the backdrop of the snow. Although it is a little later than the capital, the flowers are still unfolding, carefully, with the joy of immortality, the colder and brighter, and the fragrance is refreshing.

The noisy shouting and killing sound outside makes this plum garden look like a pure land.

When she got closer, the younger sister called the courtyard gate, and only two mothers-in-law were on duty in the gatehouse.

A woman came over to open the door, and the younger sister asked seriously, "There's no movement here, right?" ”

The woman smiled earnestly, "No." It's peaceful over here. If someone comes, they come from the front. Grandma Yin, why did you come here at this time? Is the front okay? ”

She was puzzled in her heart, and there was a lot of trouble in front of her.

The younger sister said, "Grandma asked me to bring them here to guard." ”

Then he asked, "How many people are in the back room at night?" ”

Another woman said, "Two." I'm going to call them over and talk? ”

The younger sister hurriedly said, "No." "One side led the dumb in.

She didn't want to alarm too many people, let alone let people know that Qing Du was here.

The two mothers-in-law were not suspicious, and watched everyone go up to the room with a smile.

Qing Mu and Pan Di were wearing ordinary clothes, and they didn't recognize them.

A few people went in, and they entered the house where she and Fang Chu lived in the east, and sat on the kang near the window with Brother Pan. The kang is hot, and the house is very warm. Because the plum blossoms bloomed, she and Fang Chu had no time to enjoy the flowers during the day, so they came to sleep at night, for fear of missing the flowering period.

The younger sister lit the lamp first, and when she sat down, she extinguished the candle.

She whispered, "Grandma and Grandma should rest for a while." ”

With the lights will attract attention, so she turned off the lights, and then went out, and Qingzhu secretly checked before and after, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so she came back and stayed outside the dumb room.

Qing Mu silently leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes to rest, while pondering.

The cause of this uprising was disaster relief.

With so much money raised, disaster relief is still difficult.

It sounds a little unbelievable, but it's true.

Because of Fang Chu's commercial disaster relief plan, under the full operation of the imperial court and Jin merchants, merchants from all over the country launched one after another and transported a lot of grain to Fengzhou; The imperial court also allocated disaster relief funds one after another and opened military reserve granaries for emergency relief, but all parts of Fengzhou were still starving.

The heavy snow has given hope and made many people despair.

This winter's heavy snow became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Corrupt officials are making matters worse.

Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of corrupt officials in any dynasty, and they cannot be killed. They are ubiquitous, and their methods of corruption are endless, and they can scrape three layers of land.

Fengzhou disaster, Fengzhou officials were originally the most difficult, no political achievements, no oil and water to fish, and later this disaster became an excuse and means for them to accumulate wealth, a steady stream of silver from above, grain also came, rich merchants also came......

There is an idiom called "Yang Feng Yin Violation".

Emperor Shunchang loved the people no matter how much he loved the people, and after the successive holy decrees came down, they were also executed. Of course, the government has done a good job on the surface, but the people can't get benefits.

The Fang family and other wealthy businessmen are really providing disaster relief, and the food they bring is distributed to the victims. Along with the food, they were given a copy of paperwork. The deacons of the Fang family told them that as long as there were women in their families who were good at weaving, and with this document to work in the Fang family's workshop, they would not only be able to eat, but also receive a ration and spring ploughing in the coming year, and also have the opportunity to become long-term employees of the Fang family, and it would not be a problem to support the family in the future.

This is cash-for-work.

If someone is greedy and doesn't look back after taking the grain, it doesn't matter, he also loses the opportunity to enter the Fang family to work, the Fang family will not pursue him, only this time it is a good deed.

Fang Chu calculated the hearts of the people, as long as they were good people, they would turn back.

However, people's hearts are complicated, and he still underestimated the destructive power of the Fengzhou local government after all.

The area affected by the disaster was huge, and the local officials were not effective in providing disaster relief, and finally a major incident occurred.

Many wealthy merchants inside and outside Fengzhou City distributed grain, and the Qincha also sat in Fengzhou City, and the officials in Fengzhou City did not dare to blatantly play tricks, and the situation was much better than that of the surrounding prefectures and counties. Those in the surrounding prefectures and counties who were cornered by the heavy snow came here to find a way to survive; The mob and the mountain bandits also mixed in, and there were many big families in the city, and they could take advantage of the turmoil of the victims to rob freely.

There was turmoil in the evening, and the Fang family bore the brunt.

There are pros and cons in everything, and the Fang family suffers too much in the name of the Weaver Girl. The fame is prosperous, and it goes without saying that it brings benefits to the Fang family, and the disadvantages are also obvious.

The sudden riot outside, Qingdu, was not panicked and afraid.

That's not to say that she has the ability to strategize, so she has the right to do it.

The main thing is that Fang Chu has people at home, and there are people around her.

These people reacted quickly and confronted the mob gangsters.

After the incident, Qingdue has been thinking of a way, but unfortunately everyone's talent is limited, she has been thinking about it for a long time and has not come up with any good ways to deal with the enemy, so she can only be protected.

She was calm because she had been through a situation similar to this one.

For example, when she was accused of being a demon, although many people believed her, many kind-hearted people were also afraid that she was really a demon, and she was really almost burned to death. Another example is that after she was kidnapped by Wei Zhao, she was almost exchanged for her soul by Pudu, and it was also thrilling to escape from the underground.

After going through those things, she was able to calm down in the battle in front of her.

Although she is not capable of commanding battles, she will not sit idly by and let others slaughter her.

Before she fled from Wei Zhao's Flying Pavilion, she didn't forget to kick Wei Zhao; Hunted down at the Charity Center that day, she also subdued the Assassin to her advantage.

She asked her sister for a dagger and hid it in her sleeve just in case.

Qing Du was not worried about himself, but he was very worried about Fang Chu.

I don't know what's going on outside.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound outside was quiet.

Qingmu raised his head, saw a black shadow at the door, and saw that the figure was a small sister, so he asked, "Have you stopped?" ”

The younger sister listened attentively and said, "Stop." ”

Brother Pan took a nap, and then woke up and said angrily: "These people really don't know what to do! ”

Regarding this, Qing Dumb doesn't know how to evaluate it. When life is not guaranteed, all social order is chaotic, and it is no longer possible to use morality and law to restrain people. Rebellion, killing the rich and helping the poor have become people's hope and instinct to live.

Qingzhu and Shuizhu stood guard at the gatehouse, chatting with the two mothers-in-law while paying attention to the surrounding movements. They also noticed that the voice in front of them was quieter, not only did they not relax, but they became more vigilant.

Inside the house, Qing got up and walked out lightly.

She had been in the dark for a long time, and her eyes had already adapted to the darkness.

The younger sister hurriedly asked, "Where is the eldest grandmother?" ”

He said dumbly: "Go to the small study room." ”

There are two plum blossoms planted outside the window of a room in Houhugxia, and they also bloomed the day before yesterday. Fang Chu ordered someone to move some books over, and moved a small couch into it, and a desk and chair were also placed in front of the window, saying that it was a small study, and the plum blossoms were appreciated by the window, and the dark fragrance was full of sleeves, which had a different taste.

When he thought of Fang Chu, he wanted to go over and take a look.

The younger sister understood, and said, "Wait for me to light the lamp." ”

Dumb and stood and waited for her.

When the younger sister lit a glass lotus lantern and came over, Brother Pan also came, and the three of them went over together. The younger sister went into the house first, stood by the door, held the lamp sideways, and moved out of the way to illuminate the mute. Dumb entered, his gaze swept casually, fixed on the couch in front of him, and his eyes widened in horror - the pillar of optimus crashed into view so abruptly. (To be continued.) )
