In ancient times, medicine was not developed enough, and productivity was not as high as in modern times, and many people died because of a cold and cold, so the life expectancy of the ancients was very short.

The official of the Imperial City Division returned to Beijing and reported the incident of Lotte falling into the water with his boss.

I heard that Lotte actually fell into the water talking about poetry and words with those sour Confucian officials, so as to give face to the director of the Imperial City, Shi Gou thought to the official, not to mention that the official is not bad for patients, and Lotte is a person who has made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, if something happens because of the wind and cold, it will become a loss for the Imperial City Division, and Lotte will go home to rest.

In the current leisure time, Lotte is not idle, reading at home, after all, he still has to go to Taixue to study, and it is really not good to get through Taixue if he doesn't have any goods in his stomach.

Saying that he was sick at home does not mean that Lotte does not observe the movements of things in Caizhou, shakuqi, Tu four, and Zhang Biao were sent to Caizhou in turn to inquire about the news with the wooden catcher, and Lotte also knows the movements of Caizhou.

The poor people of Caizhou began to grab grain, and the fast men of the government and military offices began to be busy, and they went out all day long to catch those people who were crazy about grabbing rice and grain. Caizhou and the Huaikang army were in the same city, and for a time the prisons of the state government and the military government were overcrowded, but the trend of robbing rice and grain became more and more intense, and there was no tendency to bow down at all.

It is a group of grain merchants and rice shops, and they are also recruiting people to prevent the people from grabbing grain and making trouble.

Huang Tong's judgment turned a blind eye to the case, and still forcibly ordered the counties under his rule to forcibly requisition rice and grain.

The price of rice is not suppressed, the turmoil is intensifying, Lotte heard that there are hundreds of cloth workers in Caizhou recently gathered hundreds of people to strike, and the owner asked for a salary increase, and now the firms are also because of the high cost of rice, there are also difficulties in operation, the two parties have been discussing unsuccessfully, if it is not for the intervention of the yamen, it almost caused a riot and a fight.

The prefecture of Caizhou is different from the counties under its rule, the people in the counties under its rule have mostly land, and most of the people in the prefecture town make a living from workers.

Because of the matter of rice and grain, not only the people were panicked, but also the state and county students gradually became indignant in their hearts, and the scholars made trouble even more troublesome, first the students from all counties under the rule of Caizhou gathered together, and then they all gathered in Caizhou and the students of Caizhou Prefecture went to Caizhou to study in the Confucian Temple, and the "crying temple" with tears was condensed into a common appeal to denounce the disgusting and bad behavior of the county government and the state government.

The scholars who study are the pillars of the country, and the counties and state officials under the rule of Caizhou have nothing to do about it.

In the conflict between the two sides, most of the people around the county magistrates suffered immediate losses, and in desperation, the county magistrates of the two counties had to approve the request for a deferment of the levy on the spot, and were even forced to make a written note.

When Lotte got the news, he just smiled and sighed that things were still a little worse.

Although things are a little worse, but as the imperial city envoy, he is responsible for monitoring Caizhou, and Lotte is naturally duty-bound, and immediately asked Shakuchi to send a message to Liu Jinhua, and write the affairs of Caizhou and the counties under his rule into a flying report, and play it with the Imperial City Division.

The real opportunity finally came, and many generals of the Huaikang Army in Caizhou were dismissed because of the mutiny of the soldiers, and the Xiang Army also mutinied, but they were exempted from punishment for their meritorious efforts in counterinsurgency, but many of the generals above lost their official positions because of this incident. As the price of rice rose, those Huaikang soldiers and Xiang soldiers who had not mutinied found that the salary they received was not enough to support the family, and they couldn't help but redden.

However, the mutiny half a month ago is still fresh in memory, so that these soldiers do not dare to make trouble, but another idea was born, since the incident of the sergeant is a mutiny, why not be born in front of the family of the sergeant, so that he can not bear the charge of rebellion, but also put pressure on the government, why not?

As a result, the families of these sergeants and soldiers went to appeal to the remaining commanders, but this matter was not something that the commanders could do, and the new generals had never arrived, so they could not solve the problem for a while.

Later, somehow, the family members of the sergeants and soldiers of the army actually pointed the finger at the state government, and thousands of people surrounded the state government, and when they saw that some people were surrounding the state government, those people who were already indignant because of the soaring price of rice immediately joined the team of besieging the state government.

When Huang Tong heard the news, he wanted to order the fast men to drive away the people who surrounded him, but later he heard that these people were the family members of the sergeants and soldiers of the army, and he remembered the mutiny of the Huaikang army and the Xiang army half a month ago, and he was worried about the change, so he had to order the officials to close the gate of the state government and let these people shout and curse outside.

Aggrieved, Huang Tongju only has one thought in his heart now, how can he cause such a big backlash if he wants to make some political achievements.

A villain said that he was sick and returned home, but this time the smile on his face became more and more intense, and the whole person came to the spirit as if he was alive and well.

"Zhang Biao, go and call a car at dusk, and take me to the state government on a business trip." Lotte commanded.

"Husband's illness is cured?" Aunt Qin asked teasingly.

Lotte sighed: "The food shortage in Caizhou is getting worse, how can I feel at ease at home, husband." ”

"I'm afraid that the old man has lost interest in those acting goblins, and after leaving Caizhou for a long time, I have the idea of hooking up with the goblins in Caizhou City." Mei Hong, who was serving on the side, sneered.

Lotte said angrily: "Your lord, I am the kind of person who only covets beauty and lust and ignores the common people." said this in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart, how could Mei Hong, this girl, not grow at all. Lotte sighed lightly and went back to the house to go about his business.

Seeing Lotte enter the house, Concubine Qu couldn't help but blame: "Mei Hong, you girl doesn't know the slightest accident, right now you are young on duty, you can still entertain the lord with your posture, one day you are old and decrepit, if you still contradict the lord like this, what should you do?" ”

Mei Hong was speechless.

In the fourth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty, something similar happened, when the exemption law was tried in Kaifeng Prefecture. In the process of trial implementation, Dongming County infringed on the interests of many people due to the unreasonable division of households, which caused great dissatisfaction among the local people and complained to the county. However, Jia Fan, the magistrate of the county, refused to accept the people's complaint, so the people ganged up to visit Kaifeng Mansion. Who knew that Kaifeng Mansion would not accept it, so the petitioners turned around and poured into Wang Anshi's private house and appealed directly to the prime minister.

Hundreds of peasants broke into the prime minister's house, which was absolutely sensational at the time. After the incident subsided, Jia Fan, who was "not subject to public complaints and made the Beijing division noisy", was impeached.

Of course, Lotte has something to do at the moment, and he is busy writing a newspaper all afternoon, after all, it is not a trivial matter for the people to surround the government, and there has just been a mutiny in Caizhou, and any bit of wind and grass will inevitably not be introduced to the imperial court. Besides, Huang Tongju has always been unfriendly with himself, and Lotte is not a gentleman, so why don't you do such things like falling into the water and beating the water dogs.

At dusk, Lotte quit his concubine and maidservant, got into an ox cart and went straight to Caizhou.

After entering Caizhou City, it was completely dark, and the families and people of the soldiers who had been around outside the state office for a day were also tired of noisy noise, and they scattered home.

The anger of the people can be seen by looking at the gate of the state government. At this moment, rotten eggs and rotten leaves were thrown in front of the gate of the state government, and the smell of fish was exuding from the place. Lotte covered his nose, and ordered ruler seven to step forward and knock on the gate of the state government, but no one responded, thinking that those doors were afraid to open the door.

Seeing that Qi Qi knocked on the gate of the state ya, no one paid attention to it inside, but he could hear the sound of footsteps moving inside the gate, and he got out of the car and said angrily: "The thief kills the talent, and he still doesn't open the door with the official!" ”

Hearing someone scolding at the door, the voice was still a little familiar, and the side of the state government was opened a crack in the door, and a head stretched out to look around.

The man looked around for a while, and then said in surprise: "It's the big official Le who has returned." ”

The person who opened the door was Menzi Niu Er, and Lotte opened his mouth and scolded: "You are a killer, why did you make me wait so long?" ”

Niu Erji said aggrievedly: "Today, the people outside the state government are really making trouble, and if there is no sentence for the master, the villain really doesn't dare to open the door." ”

Lotte didn't care so much, and ordered the ruler to retreat according to his instructions in the car, and went straight to the state yahouya.

Entering the Yimen and bypassing the Ring Stone Pavilion, Lotte was about to go straight to the back office through the side door of the lobby, but saw that the lights were bright in the Tongju Hall, and a number of state officials and officials were discussing in the middle of it, and it could be seen that these people were all worried, and Huang Tongju, who was sitting in the judgment seat, was even more worried.

Suddenly, a person walked through the general judgment hall, and the officials of the state government couldn't help but look out, and saw that it was Lotte, and these people didn't have anything to say, Lotte just arched his hand as a courtesy, and went straight to the back house.

When he turned around, Lotte could only hear a cold snort behind him, and he didn't need to guess that Lotte knew that it was Huang Tongju who made the cold snort.

With a sneer in his mouth, Lotte didn't pay attention to it, and went straight to the house of the prefect of Houya.

stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door was still the original door, the door had been beaten by Lotte, seeing Lotte's legs trembling, he immediately led Lotte to the living room with a distorted smile, and was busy talking to Ye Zhifu.

There is a subordinate serving tea, and Lotte is waiting. After a while, Ye Zhizhou walked out of the back house.

After the two met the ceremony, Ye Zhizhou often sighed: "These Japanese officials have thought about it behind closed doors, but they didn't expect these things to happen. ”

Ye Zhizhou seemed to have a depressed expression, but Lotte observed a happy smile from his eyes.

"Master Ye doesn't have to blame himself, these days the old man has been thinking about self-impeachment behind closed doors, what do these things have to do with the boss." Lotte hurriedly said, and complained in his mouth: "It's all caused by Huang Tong's judgment for merit and greed, and he really thinks that he has full authority to manage the affairs of the state government for the time being, and the position of Caizhou governor will be his in the future." ”

Ye Zhizhou smiled noncommittally and said bluntly: "Huang Tongju is seeking merit and greedy for merit, I'm afraid that you are indispensable to help the trouble?" ”

"Xiaguan got a cold from the sunset a few days ago, and he has been recuperating at home and not coming out, how can he manipulate public opinion, the boss is going to be wrong." Lotte argued for himself.

Hehe sneered a few times, Ye Zhizhou seemed to see through Lotte, and said: "A few days ago, you fell into the water and really fell into the water, but it fell at the most critical moment of the state government's aftermath, and the person who feasted with you that day was Weng Xuezheng, who was the in-laws of Weng students, and how could the official not know." ”

Lotte is just laughing, Ye Zhizhou, as the honor of a state, how can he not know the connections under his rule.

Ye Zhizhou said again: "You and I are not outsiders, and this official is also indebted to your kind words and reminders, and I used the above table to impeach myself and think about it behind closed doors, so I stayed out of the matter, and now that the matter has reached this point, how to solve it?" What do you think? Let's hear it. ”

"This is a major matter to maintain the stability of Caizhou, and in the end, the boss will have to come forward to solve it." Lotte replied.
