But the reality poured cold water on Kangning's ambition, reminding him that this was the end of the Ming Dynasty, and even the climate was changing wildly, and how could his plan inevitably be affected by external factors that changed wildly.

"Childe, look at it." A knock on the carriage in the distance soon imprinted Corning's head.

"It's the hungry." Corning opened his eyes and looked at it for a while, only to realize that the group of ragged people were digging weeds everywhere.

The name of the grass is rabbit acid, "the long leaves have reddish spots, and the poor people eat it". As they went, they devoured all the crops they could eat like locusts. They don't just know who this dealer is, if anyone dares to stop them, they who have already come to the brink of death don't care about giving up their lives.

If this continues, the famine will inevitably expand, and either the tragedy of cannibalism will occur, or the crowd will mutiny, and then the mountains and forests will be gathered, and the houses will be looted.

It seems that chaos has been brewing in the land of Qilu.

Presumably, this situation is also what Xu Hongru and others are willing to see. As long as there are many chaotic people and hungry people, it will be much easier for him to recruit believers.

As a traverser, he may not know exactly the successive natural disasters of Wanli's forty-three and forty-four years, but he is likely to know the words of Xiaoice River, which often appear on the Internet.

Otherwise, it would not have provoked a large-scale peasant uprising more than a decade later.

Then, Xu Hongru is likely to have prepared a plan. He may have prepared food and waited for the hungry people to appear on the land of Qilu like a storm.

When the time comes, his power will be rapidly strengthened.

And Kangning, it seems that there is no such opportunity at the moment, unless he, like Xu Hongru, has the ability to mobilize large quantities of food and then gather them together with a mystical religion.

As he thought, another group of people appeared in Corning's field of vision. The other party obviously noticed the hungry people around him, and soon the old man sitting in the sedan chair stepped forward and began to check.

"Who's that man?" Kang Ning asked with some confusion, "It's rare to see such a young and promising person. ”

When Tan Yixun heard him say this, he immediately wanted to look in that direction.

"The man...... That person seems to be the prefect of Chai. ”

"Are you sure?" Kang Ning asked suspiciously, "Governor Chai should have come from the capital, that is, from the west, and there seems to be no common path to go north with our group." ”

Tan Yixun also felt that he couldn't get it accurately, so he took out Shi Ziming's letter from his arms, looked around and turned out a portrait, and then said exactly: "Although it is far away, the foolish brother can see it clearly, it is the Chai Prefect." ”

"Oh, let's go up and say hello then."

Tan Yixun nodded in agreement, but he soon felt his heart beat faster.

I'm finally going to see the proprietor I'm going to serve, and I don't know if this young and promising prefect will appreciate him.

Corning didn't notice the change in Tan Yixun's expression. After he came to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he thought that he would climb up the ladder like other predecessors, or become a separatist warlord and slowly farm to build his own military empire.

But the current situation tells him that the experience of his predecessors in the past may not be useful now. And the officials he came into contact with had risen to the prefect level in just one month.

This means that his influence may already cover a Qingzhou capital.

"Chai-sama." Kang Ning stepped forward and bowed, "In the Lower Kangning Kang'an Shi, the ancestral home of She's County, moved here, I have heard for a long time that Lord Chai is young and promising, and I have come to see him." ”

Chai Yinbin was slightly stunned at first. He is still on the way to take office, he has not yet gone through the handover procedures, and he has not yet entered the Qingzhou capital city, how can anyone know him?

But when he looked back, the answer was already in his mind.

He remembered that before leaving, his teacher Shi Ziming mentioned a person to him, saying that he was a staff member prepared for him, and he was also one of the talents who needed to be recruited in the future. It's just that this person doesn't have any merit, so let him go to his account to experience it first.

Shi Ziming gave Chai Yinbin a portrait, although the man on it was carefully carved at first glance, and it was likely to be very different from the actual person, but the painter was obviously very accomplished, and although his appearance was beautified a lot, his temperament was very similar.

Yes, he recognized Tan Yixun at a glance, and immediately knew how Corning knew himself.

"You're a friend of Kendai Nakagi."

"Exactly." Corning replied with a bow.

At this time, Tan Yixun had also come to the front. He and Chai Yinbin introduced each other, and after telling Mr. Shi Ziming what he had explained, the relationship between the proprietor and the staff was formalized.

The next topic they talked about had something to do with the hungry people in front of them.

"Your Excellency is from the capital, how can you meet us here?"

Hearing Tan Yixun's question, Chai Yinbin quickly replied: "I think you don't know yet, the imperial court received a report from Mengyin, and there were hungry people in the county who gathered to be thieves, erected flags and called kings, and killed officers and soldiers. ”

"Ahh "Ahh

Two stunned voices came one after another.

Tan Yixun did not expect that someone had already raised the banner of rebellion and openly confronted the government. Unexpectedly, the drought in Shandong has triggered such serious consequences.

Kang Ning didn't expect that the rebellion that happened under his nose was unbelievable.

"Has it reached such a serious point?" Kangning muttered to himself, suddenly remembering something, his pupils suddenly dilated, "Not good." Zhang Zhizhou may be impeached by Wang Zhikey, and he is likely to lose his official position. If the new governor does not come for a long time, then the bandits near Yizhou may also gather in the mountains and forests and rise up. ”

He didn't know that in the 43rd year of Wanli, in the view of Qian Shiwan, the governor of Shandong and the imperial historian of the right capital, the most serious disaster area was the boundary of Yizhou.

When Chai Yinbin heard this, he was immediately stunned. Of course, he didn't know that Yizhou Zhizhou was about to be impeached. If this is true, then it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Yizhou bandits will take advantage of the situation.

"Ann...... Brother An Shixian, right? ”

Chai Yinbin really didn't take Kang Ning to heart just now, just a hairy young man. But when I heard him talk about the affairs of officialdom, he knew more about it than himself, but he couldn't help but pay attention to one or two, but suddenly he forgot the words that Kang Ning had said when he introduced himself just now.

But he had to check with Corning about it, so he had to open his mouth intermittently.

As for why he has to know, it is because of his official hat and political achievements, which may be closely related to the MRI room.

Although Yizhou belongs to Yanzhou Prefecture, it is still far from Yan' Prefecture, but it is very close to Juzhou under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture. In the event of a rebellion, the bandits are likely to spread to his rule.

"Brother Xian doesn't dare to be." Corning must show the angularity of his age, otherwise he will be sorry for the status of Jinyiwei he has just gotten. Although I didn't even give a waist card, I was a member of a special department after all, so it didn't matter if I didn't have it. Except for the fact that he is a small person who is indirectly affected by the reform of his peers, which makes him quite unhappy, at other times, he still takes himself as a strict standard for Jinyiwei.

Kang Ning glanced at the embarrassed Chai Yinbin before continuing: "It's just that this matter is true. Brother Nakaki can testify. Zhang Zhizhou had no way to rule, which led to bandits infiltrating the city and setting fire to the prison. Not only did the residents of the city suffer heavy losses, but also led to the successful escape of many felons. It happened that Wang Zhikey, the deputy envoy of Shandong's judicial department, secretly visited Yizhou, and after learning of this, Wang Zhicha was immediately furious. This man has a resolute temperament and will inevitably be impeached. Zhang Zhizhou's reign is numbered. ”

Tan Yixun said: "Is it possible that we still have to protect him, a governor who has no way under his rule, to prevent bandits from rebelling?" ”

"How can there be such a reason." Kang Ning and Chai Yinbin both laughed, "Keeping him two may only provoke a greater popular uprising." Defend against bandits, for if he knew that there were bandits, how could the city be defenseless. In fact? Not only did the thieves enter the city as if they were in a no-man's land, but even the prison was robbed. It can be seen that this person is a mediocre person. ”

"That's right!" Chai Yinbin praised on the side, "I don't know what Brother An Shixian thinks?" ”

Kang Ning replied: "Now that Yang Zhaoji, the former general soldier of Datong, has returned to his hometown, and there is nothing to do at home, it is better to let him temporarily serve as the garrison of Yizhou." ”

"What?" Tan Yixun was shocked, "Let a general soldier serve as the garrison of a state, this is ...... How could the imperial court use people like this? ”

"Great idea!" Chai Yinbin ignored Tan Yixun's opinions, and directly praised him, "I think that General Yang doesn't need to use a knife or a gun, just use the word General Soldier, you can let the bandits in Yizhou weigh and weigh before acting." ”

Kangning clapped his hands and laughed: "That's exactly the truth. ”

The conversation between the two became more and more speculative, and soon it was about the homeless person in front of them.

"Brother Fool asked them just now." Chai Yinbin has a good impression of Kangning Dasheng, and even his claim has changed, "They said that there has been no rain or snow in the local area since the beginning of the new year. The crops are growing very badly. There are not many seedlings in the fertile soil, and if the land below the medium level is not irrigated in time, I am afraid that the harvest will be lost. ”

Kang Ning glanced at the group of victims, and saw that they generally had vegetables, and some even had no faces, so he said to Chai Yinbin: "The green of Qing'zhou is not green on the wheat seedlings in the field, but on the faces of the hungry people." ”

Chai Yinbin could only sigh when he heard this: "I'm afraid that the Huangzhou of Huguang is already yellow, but when will my Qing'zhou be green?" ”

Corning was speechless with him, and some of the hungry people were still nostalgic for the good old days, and they couldn't help but sob.

But tears could not be used to water the land, and the drought in the land of Qilu continued, and in the days that followed, it devoured the wider area more rapidly.
