Although they galloped all the way, Luo Yan and the others were only able to enter the county seat before the sun set. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lantian County at night is not as lively as the state city, and many shops on the main street have closed. The few that are lit up are those teahouse inns. Of course, at this time of year, everyone is worried about the drought, and these places with lights on are not so lively. The pedestrians on the street were in twos and threes, but they were all in a hurry, obviously rushing home.

Horses were not allowed on the main street, and after entering the city, Luo Yan and Ah Quan dismounted and walked.

Because I was really anxious in my heart, although I knew that at this time, I was afraid that Chen Yuru had already rested. But Luo Yan still decided to inform Chen Yuru of the matter immediately and let him prepare. And he and Ah Quan rushed to Chang'an in the starry night.

The county seat is not big, although Luo Yan led the horses, but it was only half an hour, and he had already arrived in front of the county yamen. As Luo Yan expected, the main gate of the county government was closed at this moment, and although it was impossible to see what the situation was, there was no sound, and it was obviously close to rest.

Naturally, there was no need to worry about such a thing as knocking on the door, tying the reins to the horse stake, and Ah Quan ran over to pat the gate of the county office.

"All of them" has not done much heavy work with him in the past year, but he still has a lot of strength. At this moment, although he is slapping the door, the effect is similar to knocking on the door with a clenched fist. Before the voice could call out the people inside, it attracted the attention of passers-by on the road. The night is not deep, and when you are close, you can still see the appearance of people clearly.

No, there is a good person who deliberately leaned on the route he took to Luo Yan's side. In the past year, no one has seen anyone knock on the door of the county government on a starry night, and now that I have seen such a time, if I get some detailed information, I will blow it tomorrow. If you're lucky, you might find some high-rollers to finish your drink. This person came with such a mentality.

Luo Yan was standing not far from the tethered horse post at this time, looking sideways at the gate of the county government. When this person approached him, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other party.

That's a big deal. The family of this good thing is in the county seat, and whenever there is a major event, he must run to watch. It has only been a year since Luo Yan left Lantian, and this person has seen Luo Yan several times from far and near. In Lantian County, Luo Yan is definitely a legend. Although a year has passed, people have never forgotten Luo Yan at all. This person chats with people on weekdays, and he inevitably bragged about the experience of seeing Luo Yan with his own eyes a few times, and he remembered it deeply.

As soon as Luo Yan turned his head at this moment, he immediately recognized it.

"Oops." Surprised and almost fell, this person came back to his senses, and bowed down when he landed: "I don't want to be Luo County's order." Xiaomin gave you a gift to the old man, I haven't seen you for a year, and Luo Xianling is still so young, which makes Xiaomin happy. ”

has been boasting about mixing wine with people in restaurants and teahouses all year round, and this mouth can be regarded as neat. However, this compliment still made Luo Yan a little crying and laughing. What do you call me an old man, am I really old? What do you say you are so happy to see that I am young?

But people tout, can't be too cold. Nodding and helping the person up, Luo Yan asked, "How have you lived in the past year?" Do you have enough food to eat at home? Do you have any other money on weekdays? Although he didn't ask much, it also fully reflected Luo Yan's concern. I have been away from Lantian for a year, and I still hope that people's lives will be better than before.

"Back to Langjun's words, this year, everyone has had a good life. However, the drought began some time ago, and many people's seedlings have been affected, and this year's harvest is likely to be affected. But fortunately, Lang Jun swept those gentry clean up a few years ago, and presumably no one would dare to raise the price of grain at that time. As long as we can get through these few months smoothly, if the imperial court graciously exempts us from paying taxes, then life will be much better. ”

This person also has a lot of good land in his home, but he rents it to others for farming. Although the rent still has to be collected, the harvest is not good, and he is also affected. At this moment, the words can represent the voices of many people.

"Don't give up on helping yourself at any time. Of course, natural disasters are merciless, but there is love in the world. On the way here, I saw many people carrying water for irrigation, thinking that as long as the crops did not die, they would always be able to survive until the wind and rain were good. If the harvest is really bad, the court will definitely not embarrass everyone. Taxes are exempted a lot, and if the disaster is severe, it is okay to put grain appropriately. Luo Yan was not telling lies to comfort him at the moment, but what he was going to suggest Li Shimin to do.

Nodding, the man said, "I don't believe what others say. But Luo Xianling said it, I definitely believe it. Luo Xianling don't worry, we will definitely do our best to keep the crops. Who wants to eat the relief food of the imperial court every year, and that thing can't eat enough people. It's still safe to eat the food grown by your own family. ”

It was just a matter of saying a few words, and there were many people around Luo Yan's body.

When he left, he was too hasty, and the people of Lantian County only learned afterwards that he had been transferred to another country. When I saw this person coming up, he saluted and accosted him, and many people became interested, and when they came over to see that it was Luo Yan, they were overjoyed. Not to mention running to tell each other, the pedestrians who came and went were all pulled over.

The gossip greetings made Luo Yan a little overwhelmed. But after all, his identity is different from that of the people in front of him, although the people are surrounded, they also deliberately distance themselves from him. Therefore, Luo Yan didn't feel too unbearable. Or talk about some things about people's livelihood, because the most urgent thing at the moment is drought, although Luo Yan is not in office, he also said a lot of words of encouragement to encourage the people.

After a while, after Ah Quan's efforts, he finally woke up the door of the county yamenfang.

Maybe it was because he was awakened from a good dream, and the door that had just opened the door was still a little tempered, and he scolded and scolded: "That family's urging is life-threatening, don't you know it's dark now?" If there is something to hurry up early tomorrow, the masters have already rested at this time. ”

has been following Luo Yan for a long time, although he has never bullied others under Luo Yan's warning. But at this moment, listening to this man's words, Ah Quan was also a little angry in his heart. The relationship between the two of us has been bumpy for so long, just waiting for you to send it away with such a sentence? So he said angrily: "Give me wide dog eyes to see clearly, Lang Jun has only been gone for a year, and you dogs have opened their eyes and don't recognize people?" ”

was scolded like this, and no one was happy. When Menzi was about to scold back, he looked up and saw that the face in front of him almost scared him.

In a hurry, he kept confessing: "It turned out that Ah Quan was in charge, but I was blind and didn't know that it was you who came." Please come in, but if there is anything, please go to the side room for tea first, and I will go and call Chen Xianling. ”

"Okay, okay, you go and call Chen County Order, just say that my family Langjun is here and has something important to discuss." Ah Quan also knew that he couldn't tolerate his prestige at this time, so he prevented Menzi from making further amends, and directly sent him to say.

Menzi was also shocked in his heart, and he kept regretting it in his heart, but he didn't expect the god-like county order of his predecessor to come. I was unlucky today, and I was blind and encountered such a thing. Alas, it seems that tomorrow I am going to burn incense and worship the Buddha to ask for some blessings, otherwise I will have to take my life in it sooner or later. Hastily pointed to the side room and said: "The emotional Luo County Order is also here, since the matter is urgent, then Ah Quan will rest with the Luo County Order first, and I will go to wake up the Chen County Order." Then he ran to the back office.

In fact, Chen Ruyu hadn't slept at this time.

Nowadays, the situation in Gyeonggi Province is normal, and the impact of drought is too great. Many people sell their children and girls, and some time ago, Li Shimin used all the materials in the palace to redeem the children of the people, which eased up a little. However, this season is the time of crops, and there is a lack of water. If this continues, there will be no harvest this year, how will the people live?

As a prefectural magistrate, I must be worried. No, he's trying to figure it out at this point.

When I was in my trance, I suddenly heard someone outside the door gasping and saying, "Chen County Order, go and take a look, the predecessor Luo Lang is back and says that he has something important to look for you." At this moment, his master and servant were waiting in the side room. ”

Regardless of who was talking, Chen Yuru immediately stood up and walked out of the door, and when she saw that it was the door, she said urgently: "Quick, take me to see Luo Langjun." He came, and there was finally hope of relief from the sorrow of my heart. When Menzi heard this, he dared to be lazy, so he immediately walked to the front and took Chen Yuru to the side room in the front yard.

When Chen Yuru came in, Luo Yan happened to be picked up by Ah Quan in the side room. The people were too enthusiastic, and Luo Yan also spent a lot of effort to squeeze out of the crowd. If it weren't for Ah Quan saying that Luo Yan had something important to discuss with their Chen County Order, I'm afraid Luo Yan would still be surrounded in the middle of the crowd at this time.

Chen Yuru shouted when she entered the door: "Lang Jun, it can be regarded as looking forward to you." I've been frowning these days, thinking that if Lang Jun was still in Lantian, I wouldn't have to worry so much. You're really a rain from heaven to me. ”

This kind word made Luo Yan laugh, and after meeting Chen Yuru, Luo Yan motioned for him to sit down, and then opened his mouth and said: "This time, maybe I am not your Ganlin, but your sun is not good." To make a long story short, I deliberately changed my route to Lantian in order to verify some things. Originally, I thought I would ask you in detail after meeting you, but I had already verified it on the way. This is to tell you bad news. ”

Hearing Luo Yan's words, Chen Yuru suddenly couldn't laugh: "Lang Jun should tell me what bad news it is." The smile on his face turned from joy to bitterness, and Chen Yuru could only listen to what Luo Yan said.

No, as soon as Luo Yan opened his mouth, his heart was shocked: "There is going to be a locust plague." ”

"What? Locusts? Jumping up in disbelief, Chen Yuru exclaimed. Sure enough, the news was bad, it was just bad. For him, who was already sad, it was no less than adding a heavy burden. (To be continued.) )
