Chapter 139: Yu Yi

Yuyi County is located in the Qishan Plain.

Poetry: Four oysters, Zhou Dao is late.

Hundreds of years ago, when the capital of Zong Zhou was set in Hojing, Yuyi County was located on the Zhou Road of the princes of the world.

At that time, Yuyi County was the center of Zhuxia.

The people live in abundance, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

However, today's Yuyi County is the most famous poverty-stricken area of the Han family.

The entire royal territory of the old Zongzhou, Qishanyuan, has also been reduced to a corner of the world.

Only the water that has flowed from the territory of Yuyi County for eternity is still flowing to the east.

At this time, it was noon, and the sun was mercilessly scorching the land of Yuyi County, and it had not rained for two months.

The water level of Huangshui has dropped by more than half.

The mood of Wang Yi, the county commander of Yuyi County, fell to the bottom like the water level of this water.

"The county, for today's plan, Duguang ordered the people to dig wells and build orange trees in Huangshui, so that they could be saved!" An official in his forties, dressed in coarse linen clothes, said anxiously: "If you don't act again, I'm afraid that I will lose my harvest this year!" ”

"Brother Zhao, how did I not know that it should be like this!" Wang Yi sighed and said, "It's just that driving the people to dig wells and erect orange trees is a taboo thing......"

"If Chang'an knows, I'm afraid that the people of Yuyi will be saved, but you and I will have our heads on the ground!"

"Do you want to watch more than 10,000 people in the county fall into dire straits, and become slaves of others in the coming year?" The official was anxious: "Please give an order to the county to organize the people to dig wells and build orange trees to save themselves!" ”

"Alas......" Wang Yi shook his head and sighed: "This matter is not feasible without my order!" ”

"Brother Zhao doesn't know, Yuyi County is the place where the family eats, if there is no order from the family, where do I have the authority to do this great thing?" Wang Yi said bitterly: "And if you and I are private, if Li Gong of Bowangyuan knows about it, and the crime of machine transformation is smashed down, you and I will have to go to Dongshi for a while!" ”

Since the beginning of Taixi, Yuyi County has been included in the prince's food estate.

The crown prince was appointed to jointly manage and coordinate the counties of Shiyi with the prince's family order, the prince's concubine, and the prince's courtiers.

And these people, these close ministers around the prince, are either humble gentlemen of the Gu Liang line, or Hongru celebrities of the Simeng, Zuo Chuan, Lu Ru and other lines.

Especially Li Xun, a scholar born in Yuyi, is a sharp sword hanging above Wang Yi's head.

Wang Yi bet that as long as he dared to listen to the advice of the official in front of him.

Organize the people to dig wells to get water, erect orange trees, and save themselves.

Then, the next day, the messenger from Bowang Yuan would take him and all the officials involved in the matter into custody.

The reason is very simple - you villains, you villains, actually dare to use strange tricks and tricks, do tricks and decorations, and vainly try to use clever methods to disturb the people's hearts? Damn it!

All the wells that were dug would be filled in, and all the orange trees that had been erected would be burned.

And he, the county magistrate, and all the officials involved in this matter, will have no hope for their careers, and at worst, their families will be ruined.

There is a precedent for this.

Four years ago, the county magistrate of Yongxian County, opposite Yuyi, organized the people to save themselves in the dry season, and there was no orange tree, just digging a well.

He was arrested and imprisoned, and all the wells he had dug were filled in.

The prince was surrounded by gentlemen, and he could only hear the praise and praise of the gentlemen, and he couldn't see the cries and pain of the people of Yongxian County at all.

And the gentlemen, what they want is the bankruptcy of the people.

Then, it's a feast.

Wang Yi knows very well that the drought in the past two months has made the heroes and strongs in Yuyi County ready to move, especially the Li family, who has already hoarded a large amount of grain, just waiting for this year's drought to have no harvest, and then annex the land of the small people and turn them into slaves.

And the Li family has a brother Li Xun, who is a guest of the prince in the Confucian Bowang Garden, who studied under the famous scholar Qiu Jianggong, and won the trust of the prince, thinking that he was the left and right arm.

He Wang Yi, a county magistrate of 800 stones, where he has the ability and courage to dare to go to the good things of the Li family?

"What then?" The cloth-clothed officials were in deep despair.

Yuyi is already mountainous, and the people generally do not have much savings.

Once the harvest is lost this year, at least half of the people will fall into famine next year and begin to flee.

I don't know how many will starve to death, and how many women and children will become slaves to others.

What's even more terrifying is that once this happens, Yuyi County's household registration will be reduced by more than half next year.

Without the people who have a household and a common people, the authority of the government will be cleared.

Since then, Yu Yi only knows that there is a strong Li family, but does not know that there is an official government.

"There is no way for this official...... Wang Yi sighed: "If I don't spare my body, if I can exchange this lowly body for the peace of the people for a year, what is the life of this official?" However, the Hao clan is powerful, and Yu Yi is not governed by Sanfu, even if he sues, the right Fufeng does not dare to deal with it, so he can only transfer it to the East Palace, and the East Palace has always been controlled by Gu Liang celebrities, and the final reply can only be reprimanded! ”

Wang Yi urgently reported to Youfufeng and Donggong as early as a month ago, crying about the disaster in Yuyi County.

However, after half a month, the East Palace approved the official document, saying: The drought is due to the fact that the officials do not cultivate virtue, and the heavens warn them. Yuyi County should be diligent in cultivating virtue, sincerely bathing and praying, the sky will rain!

What kind of approval is this?

It is clearly saying: If there is no rain in the drought, does it have anything to do with the official? Don't bother me anymore!

As a Legalist official, Wang Yi was also desperate.

When he encountered such a Shangguan, he could only accept his fate.

The people of Yuyi can only accept their fate!

Hearing this, the cloth-clothed official took a deep breath and said, "County Zun! If the East Palace does not allow it, I will go to Dasi Nong, go to the Jinwu, and go to the Shaofu Qing Yamen to complain, if it doesn't work, the next official will go to the north of Weiyang Palace, and beat the drum! ”

"Is it worth it?" Wang Yi looked at the other party and asked, "Brother Zhao does this, it is possible to save this Yuyi tens of thousands of people, however, Brother Zhao will be convicted of the East Palace, and he will not be allowed to use it from now on!" ”

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty! What's more, the people of Yuyi are also my fathers. If you can use the insignificant body to exchange the peace of the upper and lower levels, what is the pity of this body? The cloth-clothed official bowed and said: "I heard Qu Zi say: Chang Tai breathed to cover up his tears, and mourned the difficulties of the people's livelihood!" If you eat Hanlu, how can you bear the people to fall into fire and water? ”

"Alas!" Wang Yi sighed: "I'm not as good as you, Zhao Jun is high-minded, Yi is ashamed!" ”

At this moment, a rider suddenly came from afar.

"Who is Zhao Guo, the commander of Yuyi Husu?" The messenger on the horse, holding a scroll of official documents, asked.

When the cloth-clothed official heard this, he stepped forward and bowed: "The lower official is!" ”

"On the order of the governor of Su Duwei Sang Gong, Jun moved to Xinfeng!" The knight turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Zhao Guo, and handed him the official document: "This is Zhao Jun's relocation document, and I also ask Zhao Jun to go to the North Que Bus Office of Chang'an City immediately after the order, and the servant will receive the Xinfeng order Zhang Gong to see you in person!" ”

Zhao Guo followed the official document, his face full of dementia.

After a long time, he looked at Wang Yi with tears in his eyes and cried: "The sky has eyes, and the people of Yuyi have been saved!" ”

Although he had never heard of a nobleman surnamed Zhang who received the Xinfeng order in the imperial court.

However, if he is a servant, he must be a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

I went straight to Chang'an, cried in front of me, moved this nobleman, the nobleman wrote to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven issued an edict, and the people of Yuyi could be saved!
