() The next day, at dawn, Gu Chen led Tang Heng to the surrounding neighboring cities to purchase grain.

If it doesn't cause chaos, they don't dare to pick more at one time, so they can only run more places and spend more effort.

The Holy Lord sent Gu Chen out this time, just to let him break some money so as to eliminate his momentum.

But Gu Chen is not stupid, and in a few words, he coaxed Tang Heng, a stupid white sweet, to pay and contribute obediently, in the name of Gu Chen.

Gu Chen said, this is tuition.

Tang Heng also thought that he had learned a lot from Gu Chen during this period of time, and those things were things that Tang Wan would never teach him, even if he broke some money, it was nothing.

Anyway, there will be opportunities to earn in the future.

Besides, he didn't earn the money, so he didn't feel distressed at all.

Tang Heng had always been used to squandering, and he didn't realize that he had unconsciously lost most of the money that Tang Wan had left to the Tang family.

In short, this trip came out, Young Master Tang was very happy, and Second Master Gu was also very happy.

In just three days, the grain and grass were almost bought, and the government had already distributed some of the grain, but this winter was still very long, and it needed to be distributed again.

Early in the morning, the Yao County order had been passed down, and the common people were asked to line up to receive food, and General Shen took his men and horses to guard the grain and grass to prevent chaos.

Gu Chen originally thought that the matter of grain and grass had been resolved, so there was nothing for him to do, he could lead Qin Niang to walk around the city, Yang Yuanhai led Yang Hong to the farm early in the morning to see those tenants, and put the imperial court's policy of preparing tax reductions and exemptions to show it again.

Those water conservancy bridges, where they still need to be repaired, will also be inspected.

Although Yao County is not big, it takes a lot of effort to patrol everywhere, and many places have not been to find out the details at all.

The snow was clear at the beginning, but the streets were depressed, and the middle vendors on the street hung their heads and sighed from time to time.

"There doesn't seem to be much to do here." Qin Niang blinked her eyes and said, "It's so bleak on this street, there is not even a single figure." ”

Look at the shops, eight out of ten are closed, and occasionally one or two are dead even if they are open, and those guys are about to nap on the table early in the morning.

Just looking at these scenes, you can know that the disaster in Yao County is not ordinarily serious, and if it is not good, it may really cause turmoil.

"More than half of the population has been lost here, and it looks like the rest of the population is about to survive." Gu Chen frowned and said, "Those higher-level officials are really secretive, if it weren't for Jian Anbo poking out the former Ministry of Industry Shangshu, I'm afraid that the situation here would still be hidden." ”

You don't have to think about it, where is a mere Ministry of Industry Shangshu so hand-eyed?

Presumably there is someone behind him.

Moreover, who can unite so many people to deceive and deceive the subordinates to form one, presumably that person is not low in power in the court.

It's just that at present, only the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is involved, and the news he got is only up to the Ministry of Industry, and as for the people behind him, none of them can be found.

"Presumably, the saint sent someone to copy the house of the former Ministry of Works, and he couldn't copy a few dollars." Qin Niang thought, a Ministry of Industry is so bold, if there is no one behind her, she doesn't believe it.

The person behind him can protect him, so the Ministry of Industry Shangshu should have paid a lot of money to the other party in previous years.

But if it's the Ministry of Works

I won't say it, and I can't find it out for a while if I think about it.

Because there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, you can't go one by one to find out who suddenly has a large amount of ill-gotten wealth in the house, right?

"Today's Donglin looks peaceful, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, and those ministers in the court are even more divided into factions, which is also the reason why my Gu family is unwilling to enter the court as an official again." Since Gu Chen retired from Gu Ge, no one has been an official anymore.

Because the Gu family is a Qingliu family, they don't want to get involved in any party disputes, but if the Gu family has someone as an official, it may be difficult to stay alone.

After all, even if the Gu family doesn't want to stand in line, there will always be people who will make all kinds of calculations to force the Gu family to stand in line.

The Gu family didn't like these methods, so they simply went into business.

The two found a teahouse and sat down, looking at the deserted street, with mixed feelings.

Suddenly, a small servant hurriedly ran over, saying: "Gu Gongzi, Gu Shao Madame, it's not good, the hungry people over there are rioting." ”

Gu Chen and Qin Niang glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes, Gu Chen asked, "What's the matter?" Hasn't the food already been distributed? How could there be a riot? ”

Moreover, they had been here for a few days, and they had only been given a handful of food when they arrived, so it was supposed that they would not starve.

Besides, the riots were not good at the beginning, but now they are on the last day of rationing, and they see that there will be enough food for the winter, but they have rioted.

Isn't that weird?

"The little ones don't know what's going on, but they just heard from the special officials who were suppressing the riot in front of them that there seems to be a problem with the food they brought back a few days ago, and by now, many people have vomited and vented, and those hungry people think that the government has moved their hands and feet in the food, and they want to kill them, so they rushed to the government and shouted to kill them, and the posture was strange and scary."

The little guy didn't dare to slack off, and told them all in one breath, and finally asked them what to do.

Gu Chen thought, presumably General Shen's old man didn't know how to deal with such a thing, then Yao County's head must be too big at this time, and he was tired of dealing with it, so he could only send someone to inform him.

"Let's go back and see." Qin Niang felt that something was wrong when she heard it, those grains were all bought by Gu Chen from various surrounding counties, how could there be a problem?

Moreover, these people were fine for the first two days, but today they are all suddenly sick, and it is impossible to think that it is a problem with food.

If there is a problem with the food, the symptoms should appear on the first day of the distribution.

This situation is obviously far-fetched to the grain, is it a coincidence, or is someone deliberately guiding?

In the flash of light, Qin Niang's mind has turned countless times.

Now you have to go back and see for yourself to determine what the situation is.

"Hmm." Gu Chen answered, and after putting down the tea money, he took Qin Niang and walked to the county office.

Today's grain distribution was originally carried out at the gate of the county ya, but before the grain began to be distributed, those ordinary people rushed to the gate of the yamen one by one with hoes, nails, rakes and other furniture, shouting foul words such as "the dog official comes out" and "the dog official is going to die".

Yao Xianling was very confused at first, and then tried his best to argue that there could be no problem with the grain.

But where would the villagers, who were so overwhelmed by anger, listen to his explanation? Almost as soon as they saw him, they were about to rush up and hit him.

If it weren't for those errands and soldiers, he would have been told his life a long time ago

Finish.

Yao County makes her heart bitter!

Why is he so unlucky, Tanshang Yao County was affected by the disaster, and there was a riot, during this period of time, he worked hard to pacify the people, and he couldn't wait to take out his private treasury to revitalize the disaster.

But when he did a good job, he didn't have to praise him, as soon as something went wrong, these people would shout and kill and rush to the door to kill him, and they shouted "dog official, dog official" in their mouths.

Yao County's heart is called a cool.

He asked himself that although his political achievements in Yao County in the past few years have been mediocre, he can be regarded as worried about the country and the people!

There is no merit and hard work.

Fortunately, General Shen brought more than 1,000 soldiers to deal with these powerless hungry people for a while, otherwise, they would have to be trampled into meatloaf.

Soon, Gu Chen and Qin Niang also rushed back.

As soon as General Shen saw him from afar, he immediately . His eyes lit up, and he stepped forward: "Gu Ershao, you can be regarded as back." ”

General Shen couldn't tell what was going on, Gu Chen was obviously just a businessman, but as soon as he saw the other party, he subconsciously wanted to find the other party for an idea.

"What the hell is going on, the specific little guy didn't explain it, how can there be a problem with food?" Gu Chen asked.

He personally went to buy the grain, and escorted it all the way back, so there could be no problem at all.

"Speaking of which, I don't know what's going on, I just know that early in the morning when we were preparing to distribute food, those people rushed up like bees, shouting and shouting to kill, asking them what was going on, and they insisted that there was a problem with the food, and if they asked two more questions, those people became impatient, saying that our officers and soldiers are one, and it is not a good thing." At the mention of this stubble, General Shen was so angry that his old face turned red.

Thinking that he Shen Wenjie has been marching and fighting for so many years, throwing his head and blood for Donglin, he has never been scolded like this.

He is a second-class military general, who should have guarded the border and protected the border and the people, but he wanted to do this kind of thing to appease the hungry people.

There was a grievance in his heart!

"I want to come here and someone deliberately instigated the people's hearts, it seems that at present, it is not suitable for you and Yao County Ling to come forward to talk to those ordinary people, let Gu Chen go." Qin Niang sank her eyes and said.

Shen Wenjie nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Qin Niang.

The daughter of a family has never been out of the house, and she has never seen such a scene, but she can still be calm and self-controlled, and she really has everyone's demeanor.

There was still chaos in front of the government office, and the soldiers could barely hold on.

After all, these are ordinary people, and they can't use force, lest they have a reputation for violence.

But those ordinary people don't care so much, they can use as much strength as they want, so those soldiers are very anxious, and some are even injured by the excited villagers.

There were still people in the crowd shouting: "Everyone rushed in and demolished this mansion, folks, we fought with these dog officials!" ”

With this agitation, the crowd was indignant, and those ordinary people suddenly attacked more fiercely, one by one, as if they had beaten chicken blood, desperately trying to break through the human wall, and kill them in the government to unload the Yao County order.

In the corner behind the mansion, a slender figure stood quietly, looking coldly at the direction of the crowd, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but evoke a cold and smug arc.

Let's make trouble! It's better to have some bloodshed.
