Chapter 609 Five catties of locusts and one catty of rice

"Lord Liu, I've arrived at the Yamen of the Governor of Xiaguan, please get off the bus!"

The carriage slowly stopped, Liu Mingzhi got out of the carriage, and frowned when he looked at the low-level salute standing in front of the carriage, this Tong and Wu were a little too much.

Although he is a senior minister, he is not so low.

"Lead the way!"

"Lady Yanagi, please!"

"Tong Dudu doesn't need to be so polite, excluding the name of the minister, you and I are both third-grade officials, and you are also the seniors of the official in terms of age, so if you are too humble, the official will not be happy!"

"Don't be surprised by Lord Liu, my colleagues and I thank Lord Liu from the bottom of my heart for relieving the siege of Qingzhou, otherwise we, the officials of Qingzhou, will never come out."

Liu Mingzhi nodded imperceptibly at Song Qing, Song Qing slowly lagged behind everyone by about half a step, and finally gradually disappeared behind the last Qingzhou official.

Song Qing went to have two tasks this time, one was to find the traces of Chang Yunfeng, he obviously sent him to open a warehouse to release grain, but Chang Yunfeng, who was carrying the Golden Dragon Emperor's order, did not appear.

The second is to send someone to pick up Qiao Changjing and these people in the courtyard for questioning.

Liu Mingzhi glanced at the officials who nodded their heads: "Colleagues, do you know where these bandits are keeping your family?" ”

"Back to Lord Liu's words, our family members are all locked up in the cellar in the backyard of the Qingzhou Thorn History Mansion, and the Governor has quietly ordered someone to rescue him, thank you Lord Liu for your concern!"

"That's good, that's good, your lordships have worked hard for the country and the people, if your family members are hurt again, my official's conscience will be disturbed!"

"Your Excellency is benevolent, and the servants will send the families of our colleagues over to thank you for saving your life."

"There is no need to be like this, this official has been ordered to transfer all important military and political affairs in Qingzhou, and it is the officer's duty to rescue the people from fire and water, and the top priority is to deal with the locust plague first."

"Lord Liu, please take a seat!"

After talking all the way, he finally arrived at the lobby of the governor's yamen.

"Hey, it's still Lord Tong to take a seat, you are the master of the Governor's Yamen, how can this official take the lead."

"Lord Liu, don't shirk, you are the minister of Qingzhou who was promoted to drive to Qingzhou on behalf of our emperor, where do you dare to take a seat here, or do you please."

"Yes, yes, Lord Governor is reasonable, Lord Liu, don't be polite, please take a seat."

"I'll invite Lord Liu to take a seat."

Liu Mingzhi looked at many officials with a faint smile: "Since your colleagues respect this official so much, wouldn't it be a little ignorant to resign, since this is the case, the official will not be polite." ”

Liu Mingzhi put down the Qincha Dayin and sat at the head of the hall: "Come on, prepare chairs for your lords." ”

"Thank you, Lord for your seat."

Liu Mingzhi drank the tea sent by the official and glanced at the Qingzhou officials who were divided into two shifts, and there were only about one or twenty people with seats, and most of the rest of the people in green official robes stood aside stiffly.

"Your colleagues in Qingzhou are ordered to provide disaster relief, since it is disaster relief, then to make a long story short, it is important to control the locust plague, what do you Qingzhou colleagues think?"

"Your Excellency is wise."

"Where is Governor Qing's Shi Xingrong?"

"The lower official is here!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at the history of the governor of Qingzhou, who was sitting on the ninth chair below and said in a light red official robe: "The traitor Gu Zhiheng has been ambushed, Qingzhou cannot be without a leader, and from now on, there will be Governor Shi of Qingzhou temporarily as the assassin of Qingzhou." ”

"Huh?"

"What? Isn't the criminal lord happy? ”

"Xia Guan is willing, thank you Lord Liu for your trust!"

"This is the trust of the saints, the trust of the people, you don't neglect your duties, otherwise there are many people in Qingzhou who want to do this position, and whether your long history can turn into a regular assassin depends on your ability!"

"Yes, yes, the lower officials are confused, and the lower officials must not slack off on Qingzhou affairs!"

"Governor Pi History, Governor Sheng, Governor History, also temporarily take the position of Assassin Shi!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"The list of disaster situations in the prefectures of Qingzhou Prefecture has been submitted, and the official has to look at it."

Tong Hewu nodded: "Present the situation of your states to Lord Liu!" ”

Jiang Lei consciously walked down and began to put the books on Liu Mingzhi's desk: "Lord Liu, please take a look!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Mingzhi gently flipped through the books on the table, and the more he looked at it, the more furrowed his brows became.

About 10,000 people were killed and wounded in Qingzhou, and the rest of the prefectures had at least two or three thousand.

It adds up to more than 30,000 people, how many people are there in Qingzhou Prefecture, and the prefectures and counties are even more sparsely populated.

This is only a month's situation, and it is not clear whether the record is true or not.

Time is insufficient, and for the time being, we can only rely on these recorded accounts.

"Tong Dudu, the locust plague in Qingzhou is so serious, why didn't you have a follow-up excerpt after you took two excerpts beforehand?"

Liu Mingzhi took out the fold handed over to him by the emperor and put it on the table: "Now that more than 30,000 people have been affected by the disaster in Qingzhou, what is written on your fold is to live and work in peace and contentment, and you can be guilty of defrauding the king?" ”

"Lord Liu, Xia Guan has never been on any folds since he was imprisoned."

"How many White Lotus Sects can break into Qingzhou City and hold the governor of a prefecture hostage, what are the tens of thousands of garrisons in Qingzhou Mansion doing, in the final analysis, it is your dereliction of duty and negligence, and your hometown has been copied, are you embarrassed to stand here and say what are you loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and good at herding the people?"

A large group of Qingzhou officials all knelt down: "Please forgive Lord Liu, we were negligent in going out of the city for disaster relief, and we were held hostage by the rebels who suddenly appeared, and we had to obey the orders of the rebels, the White Lotus rebels said, one person does not listen to kill ten people, ten people do not listen to kill hundreds of people, and we have to endure the humiliation and burden, and let the White Lotus Sect be at the mercy of the White Lotus Sect, we are ashamed of the trust of His Majesty the Five Emperors, please Lord Liu to punish the crime!" ”

"Punishment? There are more than 30,000 dead and injured people, not to mention the punishment, it is not a pity for you to die, but when you think of the integrity of Qingzhou Mansion, it is understandable that you were held hostage, and your crimes will be tried for the time being! ”

"Thank you, Lord Liu, for your kindness, we know our mistakes, and we must hurry up to remedy them!"

Liu Mingzhi held up the Great Seal of the Qincha: "From the Qingzhou Mansion to the Governor, down to the Jiupin Documents, all civil and military officials obey the order. ”

"Please command, sir!"

"You will return to the jurisdiction as soon as possible, rectify the internal affairs of the state capital, clear the remnants of the White Lotus Sect in the city, and immediately open a warehouse to release grain to help the victims.

The officials of Qingzhou Mansion looked at each other before nodding hesitantly: "We obey the order." ”

"Remember the law of soup porridge, two thin and one thick, chopsticks float and people's heads fall to the ground, if you dare to bully the young officials and play some bells and whistles, don't blame Ben Qin for taking his head to sacrifice the flag, in order to comfort the spirits of 30,000 people in the sky!"

"Yes, the lower officials will not dare to disobey!"

"Disaster relief, disaster relief is one thing, relying only on the grain stored in the state treasury and the grain allocated by the household department is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, from now on, after ordering the people in the city to drink gruel, the disaster victims with sufficient physical strength will go out of the city to catch locusts and come to the governor's yamen to exchange food! Five catties of locusts and one catty of rice! ”

"Huh? Catching locusts? ”

Tong Hewu looked at Liu Mingzhi anxiously: "Lord Liu, locusts are the punishment of the locust god, if you anger the locust god, I am afraid that the people will not receive anything next year!" ”

"Yes, please take back your life!"

Liu Mingzhi patted the stunned wood: "Those who dare to disobey will be decided." ”

"Yes!"

"This is the case in all state capitals, and it is ordered that the affected people must catch locusts if they want to drink porridge, five catties of locusts and one catty of rice, and come to the governor's yamen on the spot to redeem them!"

"Obey!" ntent
