It is impossible to rob the people of Yanshan, but the Cangzhou government and the army still need to eat and lack vegetables.

Zheng Juzhong himself can't stand up to the "gun" to break into the world, but he still has another kind of gun - the army, and in despair, he didn't forget to drive the Cangzhao family away and those Cangbei families living in Qingchi County searched for it.

These squires ...... In the past, all kinds of bullies in Cangbei occupied empty country castles, lived in a wide and spacious place, comfortable and free, and despised the Cangbei compatriots who followed Cangzhao but could only live in small stone houses in rural farms, and they were all poor and unblessed sluts, and they were already resentful in Cangzhao, but they were complacent, but they were suddenly unlucky, and the fierce and impatient Cangbei monks did not rob all the crops here during the autumn harvest, which was specially left for them to live, but was robbed by the Cangzhou government.

Anyway, there is still some food left.

Vegetable?

There weren't even any small potatoes left that were bigger than their fingernails.

This means that these rural lords who actually played at the grassroots level in the past can only eat some food and endure hunger in the winter, which is a sin, how can they live?

It's just that the Cangzhou government is doing with this bit of food and vegetables that the people snatch from this point?

Cangzhou's 8,000 troops, all-round eaters, ruffians and villains in the whole army, there is no good thing, what is important is to eat, drink and have fun, but it is not the kind of honest soldiers who can endure grievances and cover their heads, this food is not chicken, duck and fish, it is just that, if there is no vegetable oil and water and the food is not full, then how can it be done? These rotten soldiers will never agree, they are not safe in the first place, and with this prompting factor, they will inevitably be even more disobedient to management and more able to toss things up. Zheng Juzhong also understood that in order to ask the imperial court for help, he naturally went to the three counties in the south of Cangzhou with the vicious army.......

Hmph, you can't rob the Diao people who are protected by Zhao Zhuang, and you can't clean up the people in the south who are also pirates.......

So it was like a devil entering the village.......

However, they still didn't get much food......

In the south, there are not many villains, who died in the summer, and they can escape, and the rest of the families may have thousands of households to get together one or two towns, but the villains Diao people are alert, and when they heard that the officers and soldiers had gone to the countryside to collect food, they all ran away and hid.

Zheng Juzhong brought officers and soldiers, but the village was empty, no one could be found, and no grain and vegetables were found......

The food is easy to hide, just look at it, and look for it from those who don't know.

In rural areas, cabbage and radish are buried in the cellar to keep them fresh and eaten in winter. Pulled out the corn stalk for the vegetables to breathe, and the mark was gone. The Cangzhou army is rummaging in the vast and endless fields, and you are lucky if you turn it over......

Zheng Juzhong has been in the city since the summer disaster and has never been to Cangnan at all, first, because the society is out of control and he is afraid of the danger of travel, and second, he does not care about the specific situation of Cangzhou after the disaster.

At that time, he thought that he had ruined Zhao Zhuang and completed the secret mission assigned by the emperor, and if he got the merit, he could pat his ass and leave the mess, and return to Beijing to be promoted....... Like the garrison, I don't know if there are people in the south, and if there are, how many. The search is too much for the empty village, and it is suspected that the villagers are hiding, but it is impossible to stay in the local area and keep watching.....

Helpless, Zheng Juzhong had no choice but to go to the imperial court, put all the blame for Cangzhou's inability to provide for itself, and applied to the central government to quickly allocate grain and vegetables to support Cangzhou.

Military rations, whether they are garrisons in the interior or border armies, are in principle supplied locally, and the taxes that should be paid to the imperial court are transferred to military supplies on the spot, and at the same time the central tax collection tasks are compensated, so as to avoid the huge additional cost of transporting grain to the imperial treasury and then being transferred back by the imperial court according to the needs of the transportation and huge additional consumption on the road......

In a border prefecture with a small garrison like Cangzhou, under normal circumstances, the government can completely meet the needs of the five local counties to provide their own food.

In the past, Cangzhou was no less prosperous and wealthy than Tokyo City, not to mention that the military food and military salaries could be easily self-sufficient, and there was a huge surplus to be handed over to the imperial court.

Zhao Gonglian was in power for a short time, Cangzhou's economic development was as explosive as an astonishing surge, Cangzhou was unprecedentedly safe, not as in the past by the Liao army's wanton plundering threat and could not be at ease and could not develop smoothly...... At that time, Cangzhou was full of joy, grand events, and heartfelt songs and laughter......

However, after Zheng Juzhong came, his level was much higher than that of Zhao Gonglian, but one was construction and the other was destruction, and how fast Zhao Gonglian built, Zheng Juzhong's destruction doubled. The scene of Cangzhou's prosperity seems to have disappeared like a mirage, and it has all come to naught, and the population and economy have plummeted, which is not enough to describe.

When Zheng Juzhong asked the central government for food with a thick face, there was no pirate extortion of Tokyo, and Zhao Ji was still the emperor.

Zhao Ji twisted his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Juzhong's application, recalling the grand occasion of Cangzhou, although he had never seen it in person, but only the comparison between Cangzhou under the administration of Zhao Gonglian and Zheng Juzhong, the gap was too great......

Nowadays, the Cangzhou government and the army are so difficult that they can't even supply vegetables, and they need to be allocated by the imperial court to supply them in full, which is .......

Zhao Ji was tossed by a series of abrupt and violent blows this year, he was anxious and sleepless, his mood was so bad, and the fire in his heart would explode at any time. His eyes were a little red, his nose was panting, and he wanted to cut people with an unspeakable sense of disappointment and shame......

This is the so-called most reassuring and trustworthy minister who is intelligent and talented, has a delicate heart, is kind to the body and holy will, and is loyal.

It turns out that those talented and gorgeous articles, witty words, smart and clever...... It's really useless, it turns out that talents and talents are different, and the gap will be so big......

It turned out that Zheng Juzhong, whom he was optimistic about, was just an embroidered pillow, and he didn't use a straw bag at all, no, it was a scourge.

Personable and elegant...... The showmanship of singing and opera will only do bad things, and it can only aggravate the catastrophe of the Song Dynasty, and it is a waste that has no ability to help the country and stabilize the country in times of crisis.

Recalling that he was angry at Zhao Gonglian's complaints and rudeness, he once planned to use Zheng Juzhong to lead the Gaoyang Pass Road Observation Envoy to suppress and humiliate Zhao Gonglian, and once cut Zhao Gonglian's military power, and tried in vain to let the Liao army break through the pass and go south to wantonly scourge Cangzhou, but also to kill Zhao Gonglian and completely eradicate the Cangzhao family to relieve the hatred in his heart, recall...... Zhao Ji looked at the exquisite calligraphy of Zheng Juzhong on the imperial case, it was not pleasing to the eye, and his face was as hot as if he had been slapped a few big mouths.

It was not until this time that Zhao Ji really realized what the healthy existence of the Zhao Gonglian family meant to the Great Song Dynasty.

I secretly regret it in my heart......

But regret This emotion will only stay for a short time for the emperor, and then it will turn into anger and deeper hatred, but this time it is no longer aimed at Zhao Gonglian and the Cangzhao family, the Western Army is ruined, and at this time when the country is in danger of collapse, he can no longer be willful and lead to the rebellion against Zhao Gonglian, he doesn't dare, so he can only scold Zheng Juzhong.

Zhao Ji didn't give an order to dismiss Zheng Juzhong's official and let Zheng Juzhong go home and eat himself from now on, nor did he give an order to reprimand him, so he lost his face, which showed that he was blind and self-willed and didn't listen to advice and used the wrong person. He privately instructed the great eunuch Tan Zhi to hint at the transfer envoy Quan Bangyan, who was in charge of the transfer of money, food, and military salaries.......

Rectifying the old bastard Zheng Juzhong to suffer a lot, Quan Bangyan is naturally willing to follow the emperor's thoughts.

So all the grain that came to Cangzhou was corn, and there was not a single grain of rice, millet, soybeans and other grains - people ate and fed horses, but they were two pennies.

The vegetables are black, smelly, pickled mixed with some unknown vegetables. But there was no allocation of rapeseed oil for stir-frying, forgot, deliberately.

This bite of corn, in the great rejuvenation of China, is the coarse grain that people attach importance to, not to mention how delicious and expensive steamed corn is, even the price of cornmeal is not lower than that of refined flour. Baba is a famous food loved by many people, and the tortillas are eaten with fish, which is particularly fragrant and delicious.

But the Song Dynasty is not the twenty-first century.

Cornmeal, the nutritional value and aside, it itself is rough and not very tasty, especially under the limited conditions that can only be coarsely ground by stone grinding, the noodles are mixed with coarse and hard skin, and it is really difficult for people who are used to eating fine. The cake is made of fine cornmeal, and it is lightly fried in oil.

Cangzhou received all corn, and there were no citizens and related finishing workshops in the city or in the countryside, so the garrison men could only grind with stone mills with their own rough hands and feet......

Zheng Juzhong ate a tortilla as hard as a discus when he was cold, and finally swallowed a bite and ...... Tears.

It's too rough, swallowing a mouthful and pulling your throat.

Looking at the blackened pickles and soup in front of me that had been carefully served by the cook but still smelling unpleasant, it was even more disgusting, and the tears flowed even more fiercely.

He didn't know that this was Zhao Ji himself who was angry and deliberately disgusted him, and he didn't think it was the emperor who favored him. He has completely destroyed the Cangzhao family...... It has made great contributions to the emperor. He only thinks that the food transferred to Cangzhou is so bad because some people in the court are taking the opportunity to rectify him, and it is the powerful ministers in the court who collectively abandoned him, and for the sake of the court and the central government, they worked together to help him Zheng Juzhong overthrow the Cangzhao family and wanted to make a fortune from Cangzhou, but he Zheng Juzhong failed to fulfill his tacit promise, so he suffered deliberate retaliation.

He did arouse the indignation of the government and the opposition.

Because he ruined Cangzhao's commerce and the entire Cangzhou, the ministers and ministers of the government and the opposition, who wanted to loot Cangzhou and make a fortune, had no money to make a profit.

How can this not be hated?

The entire Cangzhou government and garrison are gnawing on dry and hard corn tortillas, not wanting to eat disgusting pickles and soups, only if you really need the taste of ordering food to eat, you can grit your teeth and eat a little.

The Lord practiced the stone talisman at a little bit, swallowing the cake and frowning, sighing, uncomfortable.

The new pusher is in ...... Cry.

He was one of the Beijing officials who lost their backers and lost power in the reshuffle of Tokyo officialdom after Cai Jing stepped down, and he was originally a five-grade official, qualified to be delegated to be a governor, but he became an unlucky victim of the fierce political infighting in the imperial court, and was transferred to Cangzhou as a pusher, and was reduced to a seven-grade official, which was frustrated enough and unlucky, but it turned out that even the treatment of ordinary people who ate rice and vegetables became a luxury.......

The Cangzhou army was scolding her mother, and the 4,000 troops stationed at the border pass were even more angry.

scolded the court for not sympathizing with their hard work as soldiers and guarding the border passes, and scolded Zheng Juzhong for being a pure bastard....... Damn, when Zhao Gonglian was in power in Cangzhou, the army made all kinds of fresh vegetables with rice noodles, and there were meat from time to time, and there were big meat buns with sweat and fresh meat...... There are also endless kinds of fresh seafood..... Thinking about it makes people's mouths water, when Zheng Juzhong, who is personable and a good faction of elegant and famous ministers, is in charge of Cangzhou, the army eats this?

This dish, pig food, right?

Wrong. I'm afraid the pigs won't eat this dish. What is this? It's so black, let's not talk about this taste, it's too salty, how much salt is there!

Zheng Juzhong and the few remaining house slaves in the mansion did not go to the army managed by the general, so naturally they didn't know that the army was scolding him viciously and cursing him for the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, he was only trying to figure out how to get out of the mess in Cangzhou and return to Tokyo all day long, not knowing that Zhao Ji had already hated him and abandoned him, but he only temporarily used him to continue to stare at Cangzhao so that he didn't attack him.

He was still counting on the emperor to miss him and relieve him of the task of keeping an eye on Cangzhao as soon as possible, and asked him to go back to accompany Wang to accompany him as he used to laugh and amuse the Qinglou......

It's just that I didn't think left and right, and I didn't wait for the gospel of grace to come......

Zheng Juzhong really couldn't bear the torture of this kind of food, so he couldn't wait for it, so he had no choice but to write a letter to ask his wife and children in Beijing to pay for rice and vegetables and send them to the emergency.

Who knows, Tokyo is also unlucky. Pirate Extortion ......

Zheng Juzhong didn't expect the delicious food sent by his family, but he heard the bad news: the palace was extorted. His home in the capital has become a poor hole, and his wife and children are almost beggars.

He was blindfolded......

He tossed in the open space in Cangzhou, thinking that he would step on the fallen business corpse of the Cangzhao family and become a nouveau riche second to none, but he turned out to be empty-handed, with no wealth, and more sins and a bunch of enemies. Unexpectedly, the luxurious and wealthy home in the capital also lost the gold and silver treasures...... Depend, poorer than him, there is no good life.

After a few days of sleepwalking, Zheng Juzhong regained some consciousness.

The servants of the house heard him roar like a wounded beast in the house, wept like a heartbreak, and cursed like a madman: damn pirate, damn Cangzhao, damn it......

In the mad cursing, he unconsciously linked the pirate and Cangzhao, two forces with completely different styles and personalities, and became the first person in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty to count the two together.

It's just that in his madness, he only scolded happily and scolded crazy, and he didn't realize this at all, and he didn't know that he could have the opportunity to reveal Cangzhao's biggest secret.

After scolding tired and scolding enough, Zheng Juzhong's red eyes rolled, and his eyes fell on the imperial court urging all places to hand over gold and silver..... On the strict order, I suddenly had an idea.

He has no gold or silver, and the entire Cangzhou government has no silver or two, let alone gold and jewelry, and he has been extorted by pirates in the summer.

The people of Cangzhou, that is, the remaining poor ghosts in Cangnan, have no gold and silver treasures...... It was also ransacked by pirates during the summer disaster.

However, the former bullies and landlords, gentry, and village tyrants from the north did not suffer from the disaster of piracy, and entrenched themselves in the countryside to steal and plunder, accumulating gold, silver, treasures, and cloth....... But the Cangbei Fourth Army Prefecture Government, which was led by Zhao Gonglian, has repeatedly and severely punished and cracked down on the criminal forces that harm the people and eliminated the spies in the process of confiscating and confiscating, even if there is still some treasure in hand after going south, after being robbed by the Cangzhou government, in order to have food to eat in this winter to survive until the summer harvest, to be able to eat food in the winter, in order to be able to exchange for some mercy and shelter, it is very likely that he has to take out the remaining money from the secret place and take the initiative to hand it over to Zhao Zhuang Xiaona, who actually hates it in his heart.

Therefore, there is no money or gold and silver elsewhere in Cangzhou, but Zhao Zhuang, that is, the Cangzhao family, must have some at this time.

At least, the Cangzhao family has the huge gold medal given by the emperor.

It's a real gold medal, pure gold, and it's not easy for the two big men to lift it together.

This time, he was ordered to loot gold and silver treasures, and his name was justified, not a personal vendetta against Zhao Zhuang.

Zheng Juzhong rightly called Shi Fu Lian and ordered him to lead his troops to collect the gold and silver of the people in Yanshan, focusing on the Cangzhao family.

Even if you know that you don't want to come to the gold medal to hand it in, you have to ask for it.

disgusting, I have to take the opportunity to disgust Cangzhao.

As soon as Shi Fulian heard this summons, he had already prepared, and immediately became ill again, he couldn't see the light, he couldn't stand the wind, he couldn't go out, it was similar to rabies, my lord, you find someone else to go.

Zheng Juzhong was furious and shouted: If you do not follow the order, the official will play a tribute to you for not obeying the holy order......

Shi Fu Lian snorted, pretending to be a dead dog, you can participate if you want.

The big deal is the dismissal. Lao Tzu is worried that he can't leave Cangzhou, this dangerous and miserable and unlucky return to Beijing.

Zheng Juzhong can participate in a fart.

He is the accomplice and co-perpetrator of the crime who slaughtered all the officials in Cangzhou according to the pirate's request with Shi Fu Lian, a grasshopper on a rope, if Shi Fu Lian is unlucky, he Zheng Juzhong will also have to be unlucky.

Helpless, Zheng Juzhong naturally set his sights on the old judgment, which means: This time it is a holy oracle, and it is to collect wealth for the country. You can't put it off, right?

Lao Tong judged that the main thing to eat these days is also corn tortillas, but it is fine bean flour tortillas, and the texture and taste immediately change, soft and sweet.

This is the most correct way to eat tortillas.

Lao Tongju loves this bite the most, and always says that eating this cake nourishes the body, and there are good anti-cancer products, sweet potatoes...... Peanut oil and soybean oil hidden in the home...... Stir-fry fresh vegetables with rice,

When people are old, they don't like meat, so they love to eat literacy.

Therefore, in the entire Cangzhou City, only Lao Tong sentenced his family to live a nourishing and happy life, with a very good physique and spirit, but on the surface he lived as painfully as everyone else.

At this moment, he pretended to be old and unbearable, sighed and said: "Alas, I am already old and useless, and I will be tossed by food these days, this official is not appropriate, and this official wants to resign and go home to retire." ”

When Zheng Juzhong heard this, his face immediately turned red with shame.

How dare he let Lao Tongju resign with hatred, and he didn't dare to force him to go to Zhaozhuang anymore, and he himself would never dare to go to Zhaozhuang again to touch the nail and take risks.

As a result, the only remaining serious official, the pusher, was glorious again, and he had no choice but to go to Zhaozhuang.

As a result, he was stopped by the Zhaozhuang people who came in and out of Xihe Bridge: What are you doing?

The pusher looked at the man on the horse, and was resentful in his heart: This official is wearing the official robe, and the people of Zhaozhuang know the official uniform no matter how bad they are. What do you call it for? How dare the lowly grass people despise such a lowly official, what a group of people should be killed.......

He held a grudge there.

The man from Zhao Zhuang was impatient and shouted: "Zhao Zhuang's territory does not allow people from the Cangzhou government to come. Do you understand? Fuck off. ”

This pusher is also treacherous and slippery, as soon as he heard that he was not allowed to do it, he understood that Zhao Zhuang was ready to tear his face with the Cangzhou government at any time, and the Cangzhou officials and army led by Zheng Juzhong were already the enemies in Cangzhao's heart. He was frightened and bitter in his heart: What kind of bad luck have I had! I don't have any grudges against Cangzhao, but I'm also involved in it....... But he immediately smiled and said, "That's good." The official will not go to see the old lady. Please tell me, this official has come by order, and the court has collected gold and silver treasures.... Urgently need to scrape together enough extortion money, send away the pirates, and keep the country, your lord's family has always been loyal and patriotic, and I believe that Cangzhao will definitely support it. The gold medal is golden, don't forget. ”

After saying that, he turned his horse and ran away.

But he heard that more than a dozen stones suddenly smashed behind him, smashing the horse and hurting the horse, and the back was as if it was cracked, and someone scolded sharply: "It is not enough for all the belongings of our lord's family to be used to pay off the debt." You dogs ruined Zhao Zhuang like this, and you still dare to look for trouble, it's really impatient to live......"

The pusher was lucky not to hit his head and fell off the horse and died, hearing this, he became more and more frightened, gritted his teeth and ran faster.

Zheng Juzhong got the report, but at first he didn't think about it, and only scolded the officials for being unfavorable.

Shi Fulian, who was "too sick to get out of bed", suddenly came with a cold face, and said to Zheng Juzhong in private: "I said Lord Zheng, are you still tossing?" Zhao Zhuang, is that a place that has experienced many assassinations and assassinations without falling? I'm afraid that you will sleep soundly one night, and wake up early and lose your head. I'm even more afraid that if you toss so fearlessly, even the head of the last general will be implicated...... I don't believe you didn't notice Zhao Zhuang's murder to you and me. ”

When Zheng Juzhong heard about the assassination, he was shocked.

Yes, he can harm Cangzhao by any means, what can't the other party do..... If you can't take revenge openly within the rules, what's wrong with assassination? Anyway, it's already to the point where you're dead or alive. If you die, I'm afraid it will be a mess in today's fundamentally normal Cangzhou, the important thing is, who cares?

When he woke up, he was completely ...... Wilted.

He was actually abolished as a thorn in Zhao Zhuang's heart, Zhao Ji hated him, and the rest of his days were actually in Cangzhou where life was worse than death, waiting for death.
