Chapter 224: Good Hate (Part 2)
Jizhou.
A bumper harvest became a dead harvest in the blink of an eye.
The locusts are overwhelming, devouring all the plants in front of them.
The big landlords cried and cried, and the tenants and their families pounced on the locusts, and the ladies and dependents went into battle. Although some grain was also harvested, it did not help the overall situation.
A caravan entered Qinghe County from Pingyuan County.
When the overwhelming locusts flew in, all the people of this caravan were paralyzed to the ground in fright.
You must know that they heard that Jizhou had a bumper harvest, and they came all the way from Xuzhou to collect grain.
A middle-aged man named Mi Zhu was the owner of this caravan.
Looking at the barren fields, he sighed.
It looked like there was another famine in the north, but fortunately, it was difficult for the locusts to fly across the Yellow River, and Qingxu was saved.
There were weeping crowds everywhere, some of them dressed in gorgeous clothes, who knew at first glance that they were local landowners, but who wept the most violently.
"I heard that the summer grain is also harvested, can there be any surplus grain at home? You can't cry so badly, right? ”
As a large landowner in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu's impression of the big landowners in Jizhou suddenly dropped too much. After so many years, what kind of disaster has not been encountered? It's too ungenerous, it's too unsubstantial.
"Surplus? Now the landlord's family has no surplus food. Their surplus grain was sold to General Qin at a high price. ”
An old man on the side of the road couldn't help but laugh.
He also said: "This time also let these old men know what is famine, what is easy to eat, and what is starvation to death!" ”
The old man said that he really relieved his hatred.
Mi Zhu was shocked and very puzzled, "This old man, you should also suffer from the disaster, can you still laugh?" ”
The old man laughed, "We are different, long before the locust plague, General Qin foresaw the occurrence of the disaster. He also specially convened everyone to announce this matter, but the landlords did not believe it. But we believed, and were saved. ”
"There is such a person in the world who can predict disasters!" Mi Zhu's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought of a rumor he had heard when he crossed the Yellow River. Suddenly became even more turbulent, and exclaimed: "General Qin? But General Qin Mengjie? ”
"Yes, it's General Qin." The old man's eyes were full of adoration. "Those people not only didn't believe General Qin, but also laughed at him. But now, who is crying? ”
"A person who is as loyal and courageous as General Qin and loves the people like a son. Will it deceive? Those big landlords deserve to suffer this catastrophe for themselves. The old man patted the soil on his buttocks, got up from the ridge, and walked away with his hands.
Mi Zhu was ashamed, in fact, when he crossed the Yellow River, he heard a rumor. It is said that Qin Mengjie is sick and has delusions, and he said that there is a locust plague.
At that time, Mi Zhu was also mocking.
"This person is so strong, there has never been such a character in the Han Dynasty in four hundred years." Mi Zhu sighed, so he ordered the convoy to turn around and return to Xuzhou.
And the news has begun to circulate all over the world.
Messages are divided into two bands.
The first wave.
Qin Ye said that the locust plague would come.
Locusts! It's horrible.
Don't believe me, I'm not done yet.
There is no locust plague at all, and Qin Ye alone is always so nagging.
I see.
That's a real lack of soul.
Everyone is talking and laughing after dinner.
Second wave.
Oh no, the locust plague is coming.
Damn .......
All the people of the world have smoked it.
Nima's thing is too cruel, he said that the locust plague is coming, and the locust plague is coming?
Is he God?
………………
Jizhou is already a famine.
The bark, the grass roots, are gone in an instant.
It's only been supported for two or three days, and there is nothing left to eat in the land of Jizhou.
The western part of Jizhou, the area controlled by Han Fu.
Qin Ye opened a large number of righteous houses and porridge around Yecheng.
Qin Ye finally purchased all of Han Fu's reserve grain, making his grain reserves reach an astonishing 600,000 quintals. And the price paid is the consumption of billions of gold and silver treasures. The wealth obtained from Hewu is consumed.
Countless hungry people have come to the righteous house, so that they can live.
They regretted that instead of listening to Qin Ye's words, they laughed at him. Now, drinking the porridge provided free of charge, their hearts are full of gratitude and reverence.
He is a true great man, and his heart is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
Qin Ye's prestige, because he rescued the people, spread all over the world.
When it comes to Qin Ye and Qin Mengjie, who doesn't extend his thumb.
Outside Yecheng, No. 15 Yishe.
Outside the house, a group of people gathered.
In fact, there were many piles of people outside the house, all of them gathered together in one village.
However, this group of people, although they are also wearing old clothes, are not dirty, and they are not ordinary people at first glance.
In fact, this group of people is Zhen Yi's family.
In a few moments, more than a dozen people returned from outside and returned to this pile.
There was a look of hunger and thirst in everyone's eyes, and they were ready to move.
Zhen Yi didn't move.
Son Zhen Yan stood up and looked at the person who came back. The bowl was empty, "Ma Wu, what's the matter, what about the porridge?" ”
Ma Wu shook his head, "Childe, Yishe needs strips, they all have numbers, and you can't receive more than one or on your behalf." ”
Zhen Yan's face sank.
In the crowd in the rear, Zhen Mi put down her hood, although she was wearing a vulgar dress, she couldn't hide her beauty, "Dad, you can go to General Qin to buy some food, why are you here?" Being seen, what is the face of my Zhen family? ”
Zhen Yi's face twitched for a while, how could he not know that what his daughter said was reasonable, but he was more willing to accept a meal here than to go to Qin Ye.
"In that case, Ma Wu, you go and get a slip." Zhen Yi was dripping blood in his heart. At the same time, he was scolding himself for being really a money obsesser, and he actually sold all the food in the family to Qin Ye.
But who can he think that there is really a plague of locusts?
Everyone didn't know that Zhen Yi, the No. 1 businessman in the north, washed his face with tears every night.
Money obsession is a taboo in the business field, and he actually lost it. But who can be calm in the face of 500 percent profits?
That boy, how could he be so calm? How could he know that there was a plague of locusts?
Zhen Yi cried.
Ma Wu panicked for a moment, and reluctantly said: "Master, if you want to eat, you have to handle it yourself." ”
Everyone's eyes converged in front of Zhen Yi.
You must know that Zhen Yi is the largest businessman in the north and a wealthy family of inheritance. On weekdays, you only need a look, and any delicacies from the mountains and seas will be sent to you.
And now, to drink a bowl of gruel, you still need to handle it yourself.
This Nima is too scary.
Qin Mengjie! I hate you so much....... Zhen Yi's eyelids twitched.
Less.
A crowd of people surrounded the cauldron, men and women, old and young.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's all there, old man, where is your note?" Qin Jun, who gave up the porridge, said amiably.
The old man handed over the note.
Soldier A takes the strip, and Soldier B will serve porridge.
"Wait!" Soldier A hurriedly stopped, staring at the past with shocked eyes, "You are Zhen Yi, the master of the Zhen family!" ”
Obviously the old man twitched.
Soldier A sneered: "You sold grain to my father-in-law at five times the price, and my father-in-law kindly told you about the disaster, but you didn't believe it, and you still had the face to drink porridge?" I want to drink and buy it with money. ”
Only then did the soldiers around know that it was Zhen Yi.
Who is Zhen Yi? Now it's down to drinking porridge.
The soldiers were very happy, and not long ago they were being ridiculed for having a stupid lord, and they were speechless. Now it's all on their toes. Who is stupid? As it turns out, you are the one who lacks souls.
"You're a righteous house here!" Zhen Yan said angrily.
The soldiers laughed.
Soldier A nodded solemnly, "Yes, we are here to do it, but it is only open to ordinary people. The composition of the Zhen family is too high to be received. ”
Zhen Yan vomited blood, Nima, we just came to drink a bowl of porridge, this has a relationship with the ingredients?
Zhen Yi's mind, how could he not know that this must be the rule set by Qin Ye, he raised his hand to stop his son.
Stay here with no face.
Under the cold gaze of the people around them, Zhen Yi's family walked away.
Zhen Yi realized that he should be hungry and dizzy, and he thought about it wrong, so it was better to go to Qin Ye for a meal here.
