After the integration of Feng and Jing, among the ministers of Jingguo, there were not many officials who were appointed as feudal officials, only two people, one was Cai Yang, the head of Leizhou County, and the other was Xu Huanzhi, the head of Lin'an County.

At that time, the head of a county was in charge of a place, and in terms of the existing system of the Wind Country, although the military power in the hands of the county head was cut, his power was still very great, and he could determine the life and death of the local people.

And the reason why these two people were appointed to serve as the county head, of course, Lu Chen had detailed analysis and consideration.

Cai Yang is not very old, about thirty years old, thin, dressed as a standard civil official, and his beard is very well groomed.

Judging from his age, he can be the head of the county, and it can also be said that he has a bright future, and if his political achievements are quite good, in a few years, when he is in his forties, he is very likely to go further and rank among the second-class ministers.

Among the Jing officials, of course, there are more decent ones, like Shaofu Liang Zhongwen, which is just a few cases, just like Cai Yang, this time he went to Leizhou, he was full of ambitions and ready to do a great job!

The period when he took office happened to be when the disaster relief was underway, and it can also be said that the current Yandi is a chaotic and troublesome stage.

Du Weiting, who had already received the news, led officials at all levels in Leizhou, and they were in front of the gate of the county government early, waiting for Cai Yang's arrival.

For this suddenly airborne county head, Du Weiting complained about it in his heart, because in his mind, the position of the county head of Leizhou was already his, but he didn't expect that Cai Yang would suddenly be killed! How can this make him feel comfortable.

Moreover, now the situation in Leizhou is complicated, Du Weiting has embezzled huge sums of money, officials and businessmen colluded, and Cai Yang's arrival has also made him feel a little uneasy.

The document said that Cai Yang should have arrived in Leizhou County this morning to take office, but officials at all levels waited in front of the palace all morning, but he was still nowhere to be seen.

At this time, Cai Yang had indeed arrived in Leizhou City, but he was not in a hurry to take office, but took off his official uniform, dressed in civilian clothes, and first visited the people.

Leizhou is the county seat, although the previous Fengyan War, there has been a war here, but the buildings in the city, but not much damage, and after the destruction of Yan, there is not much change here, even if there is no harvest in the county this year, it stands to reason that the king allocated a huge amount of money and batches of grain and grass, and the people's livelihood should be relatively stable, but what Cai Yang saw was not so.

The first image given to him by Leizhou was that there were a lot of flowers, and beggars were lying in the market; second, it is worn by pedestrians, mostly coarse linen cloth full of patches, rich armor and the like, which is extremely rare; Thirdly, there is chaos in the market, business is depressed, many shops are unattended, and there is no sound of selling in the market.

This is not like the phenomenon of a county town! You know, the place where he is currently is equivalent to the current city center, even after the catastrophe, this will not happen!

Alone, leading a horse, he walked slowly down the street.

"Uncle, uncle, you can do well, give a stutter a reward," a beggar came up.

Cai Yang stopped and glanced at him, under the unkempt face, there was a dirty face that was not too old, and the limbs were sound.

Seeing this, Cai Yang couldn't help frowning slightly: "You are in the prime of life, and your body is free of diseases, why is this so?" ”

The beggar said sadly: "If you can live, who wants to be a beggar, there is no land, no food, no place to live, how to survive, uncle, you can do it."

What the? When Cai Yang heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, Leizhou was drought, and there was no harvest, saying that there was no land to get by, but there was no food? Didn't the imperial court just allocate millions of stone grain and grass into the Yan land! There are also 50 million taels of silver!

After a slight pause, Cai Yang looked at the beggar and said, "If you can answer my question, I will give you a tael of silver, how about it?" ”

When the beggar heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Uncle, you ask, uncle, you ask, the villain knows everything." ”

Cai Yang asked: "This time there is a great drought in Yandi, didn't the imperial court allocate disaster relief funds, didn't Leizhou issue it?" ”

"This hair is a hair, but it's just a little bit of silver, and it won't solve the problem at all." The beggars returned.

"Why is that?" Cai Yang was puzzled, even if it was some broken silver, he could buy a lot of food, and he wouldn't come out to beg.

"Hey, food is too expensive!" The beggar sighed again: "The little relief money issued by the imperial court is not enough to buy rice for a few days!" ”

"What did you say!?" Cai Yang was shocked.

Buying food? Food too expensive? Hasn't the imperial court done a good job of relief in this regard, how can this situation still occur!

"In the past, some broken silver was indeed enough for ordinary people to live for a period of time, but now, profiteers have no way, and the price of grain has increased more than ten times, and our people's fields have no harvest, and Leizhou has been ravaged by war, where is there still surplus grain in our family, if we don't buy food, how can we live," the beggar said.

"Who's selling grain?" Cai Yang frowned and asked.

"The biggest grain merchant in the city, the Fang family, hey? Looks like you're from outsider, right? The beggar said.

Cai Yang didn't answer his question, but took out a broken silver from his arms, threw it into the beggar's broken bowl, and said, "Thank you." ”

After saying that, he continued to lead the horse and began to stroll down the street.

Subsequently, he casually inquired a few people, and in the small shop, the shopkeeper replied to him: Now that the grain can't be bought, who has the money to buy things, hey, this business in Leizhou can't be done

After shopping for a while, it wasn't until the afternoon that Cai Yang walked to the front of the county government.

At this time, his guards had already arrived here first, and here, led by Du Weiting, a group of officials were still waiting.

Cai Yang led the horses, walked to the front of the county government, looked up at the door of the mansion, and then looked at a group of officials, and at this time, the captain of the guard who was responsible for accompanying him to protect him also found him, and couldn't help but clench his fists and shout: "Lord Cai!" ”

Yes? Hearing the shout of the captain of the guard, a group of officials looked at Cai Yang with wide eyes, and after a while, Du Weiting was the first to react, and couldn't help asking, "Are you?" ”

"Under Cai Yang." Cai Yang smiled slightly, then handed the reins of the horse to the captain of the imperial guard, and at the same time stretched out his hand and said, "Please Wang Zhao." ”

"No!"

Not long after, Lu Chen's edict was sent to Cai Yang's hands, who took it, unfolded it, and said in a loud voice:

"Officials at all levels in Leizhou receive orders!"

Seeing Wang Zhao, people knelt on the ground one after another.

Cai Yang read aloud:

"The king's edict hereby appoints Cai Yang as the head of Leizhou County and takes over all political affairs in Leizhou County."
