A spring rain fell for two days, and the messenger sent by Zhe Keshi also stayed in Panyuan for two days.

Zhi Yan questioned that Pan Yuan's two cases have not yet been concluded.

First, although the Western Xia spies were driven away, the damage suffered by Pan Yuan has not yet been repaired.

The most important thing is the big ones involved in the case.

Li Kou did not advocate exterminating everything, but the law did not allow the family to escape.

More than 300 registered personnel are now only waiting for one thing.

How much evidence can they come up with that has nothing to do with the thieves but is only coerced by the thieves.

It's up to them to figure it out on their own.

What Zhi Yan couldn't understand was what Li Kou was doing.

Second, the case of Zhang's murder in custody remains unsolved.

Li Kou meant to wait a few days to see what the Constitutional Division had to say.

This is to put the burden on the Constitutional Division.

With these two things, it will be a few days before they return to the Weizhou Governor's Office.

Li Kou is more concerned about the meaning of Tong Guan.

If he goes back like this without giving an order, I'm afraid this guy won't give up.

He had to get enough benefits from this incident before he was willing to help the Western Army, and he was willing to help Li Kou.

The messenger was a little anxious, and hurried from the post station outside the post station to the county government after dark.

Orihiko is not in the backyard of the county government.

"The county lord is discussing in the retreat hall, and Li Dalang is also waiting over there." The county magistrate was somewhat frustrated.

He was the one who escaped from the county government and went home to watch when the Western Xia spies attacked, so Murong Yanda didn't like him very much these days.

Obviously, from now on, the few of them who escaped should never want to get close to the county order.

The messenger hurried to the retreat hall again.

Retreat Hall, after the state and county magistrates interrogated official affairs, before going back to the backyard, quietly reflect on what are the mistakes of the day's work, it is more narrow than the county office, but the interior layout is much more shabby and exquisite than the county office, Murong Yanda is a very luxurious person, and he actually arranged a carpet in the retreat hall, and the glass teacup that has not left an inch recently is placed in it.

At this time, Murong Yanda was scratching his head.

Li Kou ran into a problem today.

When he returned to the county seat from the field, he met some farmers who were worried.

Li Kou asked, "The old men have not gained anything from exterminating locusts for a day?" ”

The peasants said in unison: "Lang Jun is kind, we understand it, and the county's plan is also very good, but the county government sent people to exterminate the locusts, and the capital is in our hands. Originally, the harvest was very bad, and many county officials wanted capital, and the box army wanted capital, so how many taels of grain can we farmers have? They all took it, no matter how good the harvest is, we will still lose money in the end, Lang Jun is kind enough to withdraw the people to teach us to save some money. ”

There are also young and middle-aged people who plead: "Lang Jun is a famous person in Weizhou, and we understand it for the good of our farmers, but the army that sent the county yali to collect a pound of wheat today and two yuan tomorrow, come today, and come back tomorrow, before the locust plague occurs, we haven't seen locusts, but we have asked the yamen to collect the money and grain, and what is the old snack until Lidong?" ”

Li Kou was surprised, it turned out that in this era, the people had to pay for the locust extermination and disaster relief!

When he learned of this, he hurriedly came back to discuss with Murong Yanda, but Murong Yanda didn't know this rule.

"I didn't know there was such a rule." Murong Yanda was busy pretending to be in the retreat hall, looking for some rules to see, but the chapter order had never written this, so Murong Yanda was very embarrassed, "If there is no official document from the Caosi Yamen, it is not easy for the lower officials to open and close the position, but this time it is chaotic, and the farmers have no grain in their hands - how is this called the lower officials?" ”

Of course, Li Kou could see that this guy was shirking.

Now he is only worried about Pan Yuan's two cases that hindered his promotion, and where did he come from to care about the difficulties of the farmers.

Li Kou also knew that this guy was asking him to find a way.

But this matter cannot transfer the pressure to him.

He was just here to help, and he didn't even have a good life and was powerless to help the farmers in a county.

Asking for help from Zhe Yan will not be of much help, maybe all he can do is ask Zhe Keshi to open a regular position after the locust plague to save the farmers.

However, Li Kou also has a way to solve this matter.

He had his eye on the grain merchants, who had a lot of grain in their hands.

He also did not want to rob the rich and help the poor, but if the county government or the economic and pacification envoys came forward as a guarantee and borrowed a batch of grain from the grain merchants in advance, and the peasant households promised to return it after the locust plague, they would be able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the peasant households to participate in the extermination of the locusts, and although they could not completely extinguish the locust plague, they could also save some grain from the locust mouth.

"They may not be unable to think of this method, but they are afraid that no one will take this responsibility." Li Kou thought to himself, and then said, "If I come forward to force them to stand up, I'm afraid I will ...... It doesn't have to be the case, if the government can't guarantee it, can't the people? ”

As he was thinking so, Orihiko tiptoed over.

He probably had some idea of it.

It's just that this guy doesn't say it clearly.

Zhi Yanzhi said: "The Xiangjun Yamen is also short of food and grass now, and after Shi Qing took over, I didn't find any information in Zhangjiaqian for two days, but I am afraid that it is really just a power struggle case of the Imperial City Division." ”

Not necessarily.

Li Kou was sure that Zhang's death in custody must have something to say.

It is the infighting of the Imperial City Division, and even the weight of the Taizu bloodline is not enough to balance the purpose.

What he was thinking about was the Western Army.

But he didn't have any evidence to prove that the murderer in this case was coming to the Western Army.

Li Kou asked Zhi Yanzhi what measures Shi Qing had taken after taking over the Xiangjun Yamen.

"He just met the officers above the head of the army in the box, and there was nothing unusual." Zhe Yan is strange here, "If Shi Qing is a person in the palace of King Qin, how can he come to Pan Yuan?" He didn't say where Zhang would be transferred after he arrived, and explicitly implied that Zhang Jian would either resign and return to his hometown, otherwise it would be doomed, and he also indicated his identity from the Imperial City Division, which made us embarrassed. ”

What's so difficult about this, he just has to sit back and watch others fight.

"It may not be the old person in the palace of King Qin, but I am afraid that there must be instructions from a noble person in the imperial court, and the strength in the palace of King Qin is not enough to lay out for Shi Qing in advance." Murong Yanda didn't hide it in this matter, he clapped his hands and paced in all directions, and said, "At this time, it's better to wait for other people's reactions," he actually said with a smile, "It's a good excuse to exterminate locusts, although Shi Qing is now in prison, the county lieutenant is vacant, and Da Lang is temporarily in charge of the county lieutenant's affairs as the head of the military village, and he happens to coordinate the management of the locust plague, so he uses this as an excuse to stay in Panyuan for a few more days to see what their purpose is." ”

Li Kou said: "But since you have to take care of the extermination of locusts, if there is no result, what will you do?" ”

Old Murong Yanda blushed and said, "As long as this period of time is delayed, the county lieutenant has been arranged to pass by." ”

Li Kou sneered: "Is it also that I, the owner of the small military village, happened to be the scapegoat?" ”

"Where to say, it's a big problem, we always have to think of a solution." Zhi Yanzhi hesitated, "Although Da Lang wants to kill locusts in the Xiang Army, but after all, the Xiang Army is not responsible for these in daily life, as long as the food problem is solved, it will probably be able to let these lazy insects do something, which is the food ......."

At that moment, the messenger broke through the door.

The guy said eagerly: "Second son, Li Dalang, why don't you move?" ”

This guy was in a hurry to tell the truth.

"There's something big!" The messenger said, "Ma Niangzi has prepared the premise, just waiting to take the Jingzhou grain merchant!" ”

Li Kou's eyes lit up, and his heart sank.

If you can win a grain merchant, it will also be a solution to the problem.

However, at this time, the power struggle in Jingyuan Road is in a hurry, and it can be very stressful to rush in!

In a word, when entering the game?!
