Early in the morning, Zhu Yidao woke up from his sleep early and stretched out beautifully. It's still cool at home! Although it is a military camp, the difference between the two is too great! This person who has never been in prison really can't experience the thrill of freedom! How long has it been since you saw the sky? It's been at least two months!

He decided to go out to Beijing to go around, this suburb of Beijing is desolate, originally sparsely populated, after the earthquake, it is even more sparsely populated, without a trace of life. Along the path on the outskirts of Beijing, you can still see dry bones from time to time, all of which are traces left by the victims. Zhu Yidao sighed, but he couldn't do anything, the prosperity of the Beijing division and the desolation of the suburbs of Beijing formed an extremely sharp contrast. There were also many wild dogs, frantically biting at the corpses that had not completely decomposed, and there was a dead silence.

After walking far away, he hasn't seen a living person, and Lao Zhu no longer has the beauty of seeing the light of day when he first got up. What's the point of the emperor and his ministers going on like this? Who thinks about the people? Even if it's a good meal for them! dragged yourself into the whirlpool of politics, whether you can get out or not is two different things! The emperor dislikes the eldest son of the emperor so much, and throws the three princes to his side, it seems that he can only resolutely support the three princes, if he does not become the emperor in the future, he will definitely die without a place to be buried! But it's all come to this point, what's the use of thinking about this?

The sound of horses' hooves gradually came from behind him, Lao Zhu turned his head in surprise and saw that several carriages were rushing forward quickly, and he didn't know who it was, but the carriages behind him were carrying a lot of goods. It's a living one! He was excited, was this going to move? Looking at the big bags and small bags, he hurriedly rode his horse and ran over, shouting to the other party to wait as he ran.

The driver of the horse convoy was a little panicked, and in this wilderness, a big man on a horse suddenly appeared, chasing himself and shouting, didn't he touch a bandit? Is there any reason for this? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, even on the outskirts of Jingshi, there are actually bandits! How many have you encountered along the way? No, you have to hurry into the city and report to the official!

Zhu Yidao was very depressed, why did he run so fast when he saw himself? Didn't you think you were a bandit? He couldn't believe it, just like this, where did he look like a bandit? After all, the other party had several carriages, and there were goods pulled, so he couldn't outrun Lao Zhu, and it didn't take long for him to be kicked away, and several people who looked like martial artists jumped off the horse, holding steel knives and glaring at Zhu Yidao.

At this time, the carriage in front also got down, and Lao Zhu was immediately happy when he saw it: "Lord Qin Mi Qin!" Haha, I really didn't expect to meet you in this wilderness! The man was stunned, looked at it, and laughed: "Isn't this Zhu Qianhu!" Zhu Qianhu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, don't come unharmed? He took a few steps ahead and hugged his fists.

The second carriage also moved, and a girl jumped down happily, shouted a knife brother in her mouth, and then rushed forward, but Qin Mi coughed, ran a few steps and stood there in the shape of a jade girl: "Brother a knife!" Why are you here? "It turned out to be Qin Xiao's little girl, I haven't seen her for a long time, and she is slim and slim, and she is no longer like the little Lori girl at that time.

Zhu Yidao is really happy, he hasn't seen them for a long time, he actually met them in the suburbs of Beijing, he left Xinyang County in a hurry, and he didn't know if they wanted to be themselves?

On the way with him, Qin Mi told Zhu Yidao that since Wang Decai was taken into custody, his strength suddenly aroused the attention of local households, and some policies were relatively easy to implement. In such a situation, Qin Mi did some things that were beneficial to the people, and also built the embankment of the Huai River, which was very popular with the people; The mine was crazy because of Yang Jinshan, and the inner court did not send a mine supervisor, so it was safe and sound.

Qin Mi, who had not established himself for many years, finally established his prestige in the local area, and he also consciously put some people he admired into the county government gradually, and finally grasped the overall situation. However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and the drought in the sixteenth year of Wanli has made everyone helpless, and Xinyang County has a serious harvest, and even he, the lord of a county, is full of hunger.

Seeing that there were more and more victims, Qin Mi also felt powerless, so while reporting to the imperial court and applying for support, he asked all localities to find a way to solve it and open warehouses to release grain. It's a pity that he can only master the county seat, but he is helpless for the countless towns below, those village leaders know that if they report the real situation, they are afraid that their black yarn hat will not be able to keep it, although it is only a village Zheng, but they can also make a lot of money, who wants to give away how much black yarn they have worn?

The reports from all over the country are very consistent, the people's mood is very stable, and the rescue food has been distributed in place, please rest assured! Qin Mi looked at the reports presented, and always felt empty in his heart. Xinyang is also considered to belong to the south, unlike other places in Henan folk vegetarian pasta, but mainly rice, and there are many mountains and hills, there are almost no plains, and the closer to Hubei below, the more mountainous it is. The land that can be planted is so small that it is not always enough to eat when the harvest is good, let alone in a bad harvest year. How can the mood of the people be stable? What's more, Wang Decai had already almost exhausted all the grain in stock, where did they get the food for the victims to satisfy their hunger?

He thought about it and always felt that it was wrong, so he recruited the new county Chengtian Youlu to ask for advice. This Tian Youlu is a native of Xinyang, and he has always been a headcatcher, but he has always been a good-hearted person, but this person is a little obscene, but now that Wang Decai has fallen, there is no more suitable candidate; What's more, Tian Youlu has been chasing heads for so many years, and his familiarity with the various forces in Xinyang can be said to be well understood, and he can only pick a general among the lame people and let him be the county leader. As soon as he heard Lord Tangzun ask about the actual situation below, Tian Youlu's face suddenly became bitter melon-shaped.

"What the hell is going on below, you say!" Qin Mi, who had a dry mouth, couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he looked at Tian Youlu's face that was almost crowded.

"Don...... In the opinion of the following officials, this is the case...... Still is...... It's still good to not know...... There are so many towns and villages down there, they finally have their own solutions! Can't always ...... Can't you watch the people starve to death? Tian Youlu finally opened his mouth, but Qin Mi always felt that he lacked confidence.

"At the beginning, Wang Decai sold almost all the grain in stock, how can there be any decent way below?" He was deeply skeptical.

"Don't you know, of course, you have your own way! There are wild vegetables and pheasants in the mountains! Although you can't eat enough, you can still drop it if you cheat your stomach! You can rest assured when you are old! Tian Youlu patted his chest confidently and assured.

Qin Mi pondered for a long time before nodding slightly. There are many mountains below, wild vegetables and pheasants, and even wild boars and wolves. Most of the mountain people below have lived in the mountains for their ancestors, and the demand for food is not as great as that of the county seat, so they can still survive.

But when he returned to the mansion from the county office, he saw that the people on the street were all full of vegetables, and suddenly remembered, where would the peasants in this kind of land shoot any wild beasts? In the past, every disaster year, there would be a large number of people fleeing, if the mountains can really survive, why do they need to flee thousands of miles to Hubei?

He immediately summoned Tian Youlu again, telling him that he was not at ease, and that he would personally go down to Weifu to take a look, and the affairs of the county town would be handed over to Tian Youlu for the time being.

"Don...... Honorable, this ...... How does this say? Tian Youlu was dumbfounded. Don't go down, you can't go down! If you see the real scene, wouldn't it be a bunch of heads again? But his desperate obstruction had already made Qin Mi deeply suspicious.

Qin Mi slapped the table fiercely: "Lord Tian, you are also the lord of a county now, what are you worried about?!" Is there anything more frightening than the rebellion of the victims? If you don't go down and don't know the real situation, how can you arrange disaster relief matters? How do you report it to the house? The official must go down and take a look in person to rest assured! ”

"Your Excellency! I can't go! Tian Youlu is also a county magistrate, but he doesn't have the momentum of a county magistrate at all, so he knelt down at Qin Mi after a plop: "Tell the truth...... I'll tell you the truth...... Below...... The whole village below has starved to death, and there are already many villages! It's not that the village leaders don't tell you the truth, it's that they don't dare to say it...... The victims of the disaster had to go out collectively to beg for food, and the village leaders were afraid that they would gather in the mountains and forests to rebel, so they ...... So he poisoned the water and died...... Quite a few people were poisoned, and they died...... They died...... It's better for them to die than to suffer in the county?! It's better than you and me dying?! ”

Qin Mi's face suddenly turned purple, he stood up suddenly, pointed at Tian Youlu and said tremblingly, "You...... You...... The situation below is so bad, why didn't you report it sooner?! Just because...... Just because you are afraid that they will gather in the mountains and forests to rebel, you want to poison them to death?! Since you're ...... Since you are so worried, good! Very good! Then run with your family! Hurriedly! If it's too late, it'll be too late! ”

Looking at the magistrate of the thunderous rage, Tian Youlu could only kowtow helplessly. It's not that he didn't dare to say it, but he knew that according to Qin Mi's character, he would definitely not ignore this kind of thing. But if the death of a small number of people can keep the safety of a large number of people in the county, then the victims must not be allowed to rebel! How could he not have known the pity of the victims? But when it comes to this, is there a better choice?

Qin Mi sat back in his chair and raised his head weakly, as if he saw that there were countless unjust souls crying to him in front of him! Teacher! Students, I'm sorry for you! Student...... The students have killed countless people!
