Lan Ziyi's bid code impressed Luo Yingmin, Luo Yingmin's pair of triangular jackal eyes were grunting in the eye sockets, and the space in the eye sockets was already small, and Luo Yingmin almost squeezed out his eyes when he turned his eyes like this.

Lan Ziyi looked at Luo Yingmin's treacherous little eyes, and secretly thought that he had succeeded this time, but the abacus in the old fox's heart could actually be measured clearly by young people? Luo Yingmin's greasy little eyes that were still slippery just now suddenly revealed a cold light. When Lan Ziyi's heart was not good, Luo Yingmin said:

"Wei Hou, you should know that my river ** is in order to represent the Northern Expedition, but I will do my best to supply grain and grass."

Luo Yingmin's words were flat and stable, and Lan Ziyi couldn't hear any mystery from it, so he had to admit:

"What Lord Luo said is that in order to supply food and salary, Heyin's people's power has been exhausted, and Ziyi is very grateful."

Luo Yingmin said:

"If it's just to provide food and wages, it's a matter of official business after all, and it's reasonable. It's just that grain is no better than gold and silver, whether it is storing grain or transporting grain, there will always be losses in the middle, and the more and more frequent this grain is mobilized, the greater the loss during the period. ”

When Luo Yingmin said this, Lan Ziyi probably guessed what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so Lan Ziyi pretended to be confused and said:

"The loss of stored grain is a common thing, and the imperial court also allocates a loss limit to each province every year, as long as it is within this limit, the loss is considered normal, Lord Luo, what do you have to worry about?"

Luo Yingmin said:

"I naturally have nothing to worry about, but the limit allocated by the imperial court is completely unreasonable.

Lan Ziyi scolded in his heart when he heard this, the number of bad grains allocated by the imperial court is a reasonable number calculated according to the population and grain production of each province, and the general loss will only be smaller than this number, not larger than this number, if even this number is counted as a small number, then there is definitely a problem with the grain storage in the Heyin warehouse.

Luo Yingmin continued:

"The court is full of people who don't know how hungry people are hungry, and the cabinet ministers only know how to live in temples and command, but they don't know the cumbersomeness of local actual government affairs. I am on the side of the herdsmen and herdsmen, for the country and the people, what I want is to be peaceful in the four seas, but what I get is the suspicion of the imperial court, which is obviously just some loss of grain, but I want to be said to be a deficit by people with ulterior motives. ”

Lan Ziyi listened to Luo Yingmin's words and glanced back at Qiu Wenruo, who also sighed and shook his head at this time. This Luo Yingmin said nonsense for a long time, and only made one thing clear, that is, there is a serious discrepancy between the actual storage and the book record of his river, and this Luo Yingmin is afraid that it will not happen overnight to steal and sell the grain in the museum.

Luo Yingmin's situation is like this, which is really despicable, but Lan Ziyi can only join forces with him, even if Lan Ziyi is dissatisfied, he can only reluctantly accept the facts. Lan Ziyi asked:

"I naturally know that Lord Luo is loyal to the country, but if there is really a deficit, you are not willing to explain it clearly in a few words."

Luo Yingmin said:

"That's natural, because no one listens to me, so I just don't explain it and just do it."

Lan Ziyi said:

"What is Lord Luo going to do?"

Luo Yingmin said:

"Didn't Wei Hou plan to bring the official grain of the city warehouse into the main road? I was asked to find a way for him to go north, but outsiders said that my so-called shortfall was to be filled by grain for me. ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he really hated the upper and lower teeth and fought straight up, so he wanted to pounce and break the bridge of Luo Yingmin's nose with a punch. This old thing, who fishes and fleshes the people by himself, steals official food, and finally asks Lan Ziyi to wipe his ass for him, what is this called? But Lan Ziyi understands that doing it now can only be done quickly, anyway, it is all a transaction, what Lan Ziyi should do is to turn himself into a profit.

After thinking about it, Lan Ziyi said:

"Lord Luo himself has lost too much, and he actually has to use foreign food to make up for it, if this matter is really found out, I am afraid that my father and I will also be implicated and will not be able to climb out."

Luo Yingmin said:

"Wei Hou, if you normally help me make up for the loss, I'm afraid that someone will come to investigate, and you ask me to impeach Zhang Mingyue, am I not afraid of being investigated?"

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Lord Luo, you're out of sight. The only thing I mentioned to Lord Luo before was Lord Luo's impeachment of the Beijing merchants for monopolizing the transportation of grain, and I didn't ask Lord Luo to directly impeach Zhang Mingyue and his henchmen. If Lord Luo really has the courage to impeach Zhang Mingyue, I naturally have the courage to make up for the deficit for Lord Luo. ”

Lan Ziyi's words have been made clear, Luo Yingmin listened to things, and forgot that Lan Ziyi used the word "deficit". Luo Yingmin said:

"Zhang Mingyue is the first minister, how do I know if he needs to be impeached."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Impeach whatever you have, I know now that he Zhang Mingyue has several things, as long as Lord Luo is willing to contribute, I will continue to inform your lord of the evil deeds of Zhang Mingyue sitting down in the capital."

After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, Luo Yingmin pondered for a moment, and then Luo Yingmin picked up the wine jug and filled it for himself and Lan Ziyi, he raised his glass and said to Lan Ziyi:

"Then it's a deal."

Lan Ziyi raised his glass and smiled:

"Surely the horses will be hard to chase."

Then the two of them drank the wine and had breakfast with laughter.

On that day, Luo Yingmin was in high spirits, and successively beckoned Lan Ziyi to play and eat and drink in the old capital. Although Lan Ziyi was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't directly refute people's face, so he had to force a smile and accompany Luo Yingmin a day late, and at the same time Lan Ziyi secretly instructed the moon mountain to prepare the shape, and the next morning Lan Ziyi and everyone together, as soon as the city gate opened, he rode out on horseback, and the river under Luo Yingmin's rule **, Lan Ziyi didn't want to stay longer.

After leaving the city, Lan Ziyi saw the devastation again, he didn't want to go back by the old road, he was afraid that when he returned this time, he would see the old man starving to death on the side of the road, so Lan Ziyi would be embarrassed.

Because Lan Ziyi didn't want to go again, he went south after leaving the city, crossed Fangcheng, went to Yuzhou, and went south to cross the river. But this road is the road that Lan Ziyi walked with the demon thieves when he suppressed the bandits all the way, the demon thieves have been killed here when they are outdated, and they are full of devastation, and now they are suffering from drought, their conditions are so bad, the tragedy of the scene is comparable to hell, and it is more than ten times worse than the road where Lan Ziyi came, and even the post station in Yuzhou is about to be unsustainable, and the officials are going to flee.

In short, Lan Ziyi and his party finally came to the river after experiencing a shocking hell on earth, and Lan Ziyi canceled his plan to go down the river to the capital here, and should go east by land along the north bank of the river. Lan Ziyi has seen enough of the tragic appearance of the people of Taizheng in the north of the river, and the south bank on the other side of the river also suffered a military disaster, and then suffered a flood, and the river burst its embankment to flood the south bank. Lan Ziyi no longer has the mental strength to accommodate the pain, he can only choose to escape like a coward, at least escape can make him feel better.

Because of the water conservancy available for irrigation, the north bank of the river has not suffered from floods, and in this Taisho world where the north is dry and the south is flooded, it has become a belt-like paradise, and people from the north and south have poured into this area. Lan Ziyi went east, along the way saw many villages and towns are taking in the victims, out of the river, other provinces and counties have received the Taicang grain transported from the capital, Jiangbei counties so the rice price is flat, porridge factories are numerous, the victims finally have a place to stay.

After seeing that the earth was alive, Lan Ziyi felt a little comforted in his heart, and after several days of sorrow, Lan Ziyi's face finally showed some signs of relief.

Seeing that Lan Ziyi finally stretched his brows, Tao Zhutu interjected in a timely manner:

"Young master, you didn't speak for two days with your face hanged, and today you are finally willing to smile."

Lan Ziyi asked this question and said:

"I haven't spoken in two days? How do I not think? ”

Then Lan Ziyi sighed again:

"It's normal not to speak, just like the river **, what mood do I have to speak?"

Peach Rabbit Road:

"Luo Yingmin's dog official Ling is not too late, young master, since you care about the people, you can simply expose him, what else is there to ink with him?"

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi sighed:

"Third brother, how many times have I told you, Luo Yingmin is my ally in the court, and it is impossible for me to expose him."

Then Lan Ziyi said bitterly:

"Where do I care about the people! I'm obviously aiding the abuse! In this situation, I can only use a sentence to make an excuse that I am in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help myself. ”
