Chapter 219: Selling Women for Food

At the end of the day, Governor Li, Zhang Tongzhi and Tong Ju were very happy because they heard the news of the possible promotion.

So, for the time being, I don't care about food.

On this day, the victims all ate three meals, and they were all full.

This gave the victims a sense of hope, and anyway, they were not as hungry as they used to be.

However, this phenomenon is only the case in Mozhou City, and in the other four counties under its jurisdiction, except for Ba County, the victims in the other three counties are estimated to still have a bowl of porridge without rice a day.

This problem must also be solved!

So, Qin Ming found the prefect and said:

"My lord, why don't you have time to inspect a few counties under your jurisdiction? If the victims of the disaster in these counties are also in a state of full food and drink, then the promotion of the adults is estimated to be stable. ”

Hearing this, Governor Li's eyes rolled, and the grain money in the counties under his jurisdiction was often sent by his government office, but if Qin Ming wanted to go to a few counties to see, he would have to transport some of the grain in the warehouse to various counties as soon as possible.

In this way, as soon as Qin Ming leaves, it will be troublesome to exchange these grains for silver.

And if Qin Ming went to see it, he would have to give each county a few good meals, and the grain would have to eat at least 20,000 catties of rice, and they would lose a few hundred taels of silver.

Therefore, Governor Li was a little hesitant and didn't want to take Qin Ming's counties.

Seeing him like this, Qin Ming said, "What? Governor Li? Is there a problem? ”

"This ......" Li Zhifu was very entangled in his heart, on the one hand, he really wanted to be promoted, and on the other hand, he was reluctant to give up money.

Qin Ming spoke again: "It's decided, I'll set off tomorrow and go to the counties under my jurisdiction to have a look!" ”

Governor Li hurriedly asked, "My lord, which county to go to?" ”

Qin Ming said: "Let's make a decision tomorrow!" ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Ming turned around and left.

Li Zhifu frowned, and Zhang Tongzhi on the side said, "My lord, what should I do?" ”

"What else can I do? Immediately notify the county magistrates and ask them to put more rice in the porridge of the victims tomorrow. Governor Li said.

"If you put more rice tomorrow and eat three meals a day, won't all the counties have no food for the victims to eat in the next half month?" Zhang Tongzhi said.

Governor Li snorted: "That government doesn't care, tell the county orders of each county, find a way to do it yourself, they are also greedy, do you want a few of us to take food to make up for them?" ”

Zhang Tongzhi and Tong Juan felt justified when they heard this, so they both nodded.

So that night, they sent people to inform the counties, asking them to make sure that the victims had a good meal tomorrow, because someone came to check on them.

The next day, several counties under their jurisdiction began to make porridge for the victims from breakfast, and it was a porridge with a lot of rice and very thick.

The people of the counties couldn't believe that they had actually eaten real porridge, which made many people feel like they were dreaming.

But no matter what, for most of the drought, they had enough to eat.

After seeing Qin Ming, the few of them asked, "Lord Langzhong, which county are you going to go to?" ”

They are not afraid of Qin Ming going now, and even want Qin Ming to finish reading several counties at once today.

However, Qin Ming waved his hand and said, "The official is unwell today, I'm afraid I won't be able to go, so let's go again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

As soon as he heard this, Governor Li was stunned, not going today?

How well did the victims eat today? Didn't even go to see it?

The day after tomorrow? Wouldn't we have to give the victims good food tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

For a while, the faces of the three people of Governor Li's mansion were a little unsightly.

Qin Ming sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be puzzled: "What's wrong?" Is there a problem? ”

"I didn't ...... No, how can there be a problem? Governor Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Anyway, it's the same when you go to see it, Lord Langzhong, you can go at any time." Governor Li said.

Qin Ming smiled: "That's good, let's do it, this official will walk around this Mozhou City by himself today." ”

"Okay, this official sent the soap official of the county government to protect Lord Langzhong." Governor Li said.

Qin Ming waved his hand: "No need!" ”

Saying that, Qin Ming took Yan Lingfei and left the mansion.

Seeing Qin Ming leave, Governor Li's face suddenly became gloomy.

On the side, Zhang Tongzhi said: "My lord, why do I think this kid is deliberately playing tricks on us?" ”

Governor Li snorted and said, "You just found out?" The day before yesterday, he said that he wanted to see the grain in the warehouse, but we spent money to buy grain at night, but he didn't look at it. It depends on what the victims eat.

Yesterday he said that he was going to the counties, and we told the counties overnight that they should feed the victims, but he didn't go to see them again. What to say tomorrow ...... the day after tomorrow"

Tong Juan frowned: "My lord, what does he want to do?" ”

Governor Li shook his head and said, "I don't know...... I doubt anything he says now. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the general judge: "What about the assassins we sent?" Haven't come back yet? ”

"No, I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die!" The judge shook his head.

Governor Li frowned and said, "There is only one possibility, the assassination failed, and they were killed by this Kurabe Shiro!" ”

"Then why did he say that the journey was smooth? If you encounter an assassin outside of Mozhou City, even if it's okay, you should tell us about it, right? "I know the same thing.

Governor Li took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, anyway, let's deal with it carefully." ”

"My lord, do you think it's true or false that he said that Lord Gong Shilang wants to promote us?" The general judge asked again.

Hearing this, Governor Li said: "There is no way to fake it, if it is true, then it is best." ”

……

At this moment, Qin Ming was walking slowly in Mozhou City, thinking about his plan in his mind.

The focus of solving the problem of disaster victims is still the food problem.

Now the drought is less severe, and even the situation in Huzhou has eased quickly after the rebellion was suppressed a few months ago.

The reason why Mozhou Mansion is still like this is nothing more than that the corrupt officials are greedy for food so that the victims cannot eat.

There are also people who secretly hide sweet potato seeds, not wanting these two crops to be planted in large quantities.

Therefore, what Qin Ming has to do now is to defeat these corrupt officials and bring them down, so that the victims can eat and drink enough during this time.

Then, we will find out those people who prevent sweet potato seeds from reaching the victims, solve these capitalist problems, and let the sweet potato seeds go to the victims so that they can plant them in large quantities, which will fundamentally solve the problem of feeding the victims.

After clarifying his thoughts, Qin Ming took a deep breath and thought about taking his time.

On the streets, there are many corners of the streets, including men, women and children.

Where many of the victims were squatting, there were even some crooked words written on them.

Qin Ming walked up to an old man and a girl and looked at it, only to see that it was written on the ground:

"Sell women, three catties of rice!"

At the same time, the girl looked up at Qin Ming and said, "Uncle, do you want to buy me?" I'm okay, I can be a maid for you, and my father only needs three catties of rice. ”

Qin Ming's heart was sour, and he looked at the old man on the ground, the old man didn't speak, obviously he didn't want to sell his daughter, but his daughter was very sensible.
