Liu Zheng was just about to open his mouth to have a good fight with the stupid prefect in front of him, but he saw Wei Boyuan leading a person over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Zheng looked curiously at the person following behind Wei Boyuan, this person was dressed as a servant, Liu Zheng vaguely remembered where he had seen this person, but he couldn't remember who this person was.

This person followed behind Wei Boyuan and also looked around curiously, looking like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and when he came to Liu Zheng's approach, this person stopped his gaze, but when he came to Liu Zheng's approach, he nailed his eyes to Wang Jiabin.

Wei Boyuan also looked at Wang Jiabin, who was dressed in official clothes, but he only glanced at it twice before turning his gaze to Liu Zheng and said, "Virtuous nephew, this person is from Linzi County to catch fast, his name is Wei Xiaoqi, and he said that he is looking for the prefect!" ”

Liu Zheng nodded and didn't speak, moved back half a step slightly, and staggered half of his body with Wang Jiabin, this move, Wei Xiaoqi saw it all in his eyes, although Wei Xiaoqi didn't look at Liu Zheng with his eyes, but he always paid attention to him with his spare eyes.

Since he secretly came out of Linzi County, which was besieged by the victims, and when he arrived here, what he saw and heard made him extremely surprised.

He couldn't understand why the surroundings of Qingzhou Mansion were so quiet, and these people outside the city knew that they were obviously victims of the disaster when they looked at their clothes, but they were red one by one, full of energy, and their eyes were full of hope, and Linzi County, which was only a few dozen miles away, was not only surrounded by the victims, but also riots broke out from time to time, and some people were even bewitching the victims to attack the city.

But he didn't look at it for a long time, he was entangled by a few people with red cloth wrapped around his arms, asked this and that, and then was brought to Wang Jiabin, he had seen Wang Jiabin, knew that he was the prefect, and he had also seen Liu Zheng beside him, and knew that he was a fast catcher, but these two people actually stood side by side, and it was not difficult to find that these two people actually faintly had a posture headed by Liu Zheng, and listened to the tone of the person next to him and the object of his speech, Wei Xiaoqi naturally put the focus of attention on Liu Zheng.

Wang Jiabin didn't know the thoughts of a few people, and he didn't have the ability to observe words and feelings, and as soon as he heard that it was from Linzi County, the safety of the subordinate counties that he had selectively forgotten was picked up by him again.

So he asked anxiously, "Linzi?" You're from Linzi? What's going on in the county over there? ”

As soon as Wang Jiabin opened his mouth here, Wei Xiaoqi temporarily put his attention on Wang Jiabin's side, and replied with a fist: "Back to the adult, the situation in Linzi County is very bad, there are more than 30,000 victims outside the city, and the food in the city is about to bottom out, at most it can support two or three days, and it is urgent for adults to allocate food for rescue, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that these days there are constantly people bewitching the victims to make trouble, and there have been a few big messes. ”

"Huh? So, so serious? Hearing the situation in Linzi, Wang Jiabin was surprised and scared, he was surprised in three ways, on the one hand, Linzi is such a small county, there are more than 30,000 victims outside the city; on the other hand, I was surprised that there was so much grain in this small Linzi County, which maintained the consumption of more than 30,000 victims for more than a month; In the end, I was surprised and frightened that if these more than 30,000 victims made a riot, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wei Xiaoqi hugged his fists again and said: "That's true, Lord Wanwang will deal with it as soon as possible!" ”

How to deal with this? He doesn't have food, he doesn't have people? If you want to rescue, you can only see whether Liu Zheng is willing or not, after all, Qingzhou can have such a situation is the result of Liu Zheng's single-handedness, so Wang Jiabin turned his head to look at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng was really resentful at this time, and said in his heart, what are you doing to see me, you are the prefect, right? The unusual Wei Xiaoqi in front of him is definitely not the Linzi County Ya's fast catcher, although he is wearing the same style of clothes as the fast catcher, but the people are black embroidered silk and satin, and it is not a system at first glance, right? When you look at me, didn't you sell me directly? I still want to hide behind the scenes, aren't you forcing me to go to the forefront? Did you know that there is a saying called death at the sight of the light?

The brain turned rapidly, and after a little silence, he had a plan in his heart, and said with a fist: "My lord, yesterday you instructed my father to check the situation of the granary, and this morning I learned from my father that although the actual number has not been counted, the grain reserves in the lower warehouse can be roughly estimated, but the people in the city and the people outside the city should not have a problem with the rest of the month, if you allocate grain to rescue the people outside Linzi County, you can allocate about 8,000 stones, and your lord also needs to send people to Yangzhou and Jiangnan to buy grain as soon as possible!" ”

"Huh? Oh! In an instant, Wang Jiabin figured it out, Liu Zheng didn't want to leak the bottom in front of outsiders, although he wanted to get rid of Liu Zheng, but he also understood that he couldn't do it at this time, so he said: "Well, since that's the case, then quickly go and inform people, allocate 8,000 stones of grain from the warehouse and transport it to Linzi County, which is enough to alleviate the crisis, and at the same time notify Qingzhou Zuowei and let them go to Linzi County to camp outside Linzi County in case there is a change!" ”

Liu Zheng hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates will send someone to do it!" After speaking, he turned around and called Mao Fei, who was not far behind them, and relayed the 'Wang Jiabin's instructions' to him, and asked him to do it quickly, but in this paraphrase, he replaced the Qingzhou Left Guard with the Inspection Division!

Mao Fei is also a monkey spirit, he saw Wei Xiaoqi, an unusual outsider, early, and listened to Liu Zheng's instructions to focus on Wang Jiabin, so he naturally understood what was going on, and turned around and left after answering a sentence.

Wang Jiabin saw that Liu Zheng did not go to do it in person, but ordered others to go, he was a little disappointed in his heart, he also wanted to talk to Liu Zheng alone with the Wei Xiaoqi in front of him, he didn't pay attention to it before, but now he has noticed Wei Xiaoqi's dress, he turned out to be a Beijing official, Wei Xiaoqi's clothes he naturally recognized, and he saw hope in his heart, so he wanted to break Liu Zheng away.

It's a pity that this Liu Zheng is very fine, but he is not disappointed, as long as the person is still here, find a time to find him alone and explain the situation to him in detail, or give him a hint to find me!

So Wang Jiabin said, "Wei Zhutou, things are not in a hurry, today you will rest in the government for one night, and tomorrow you will return to Linzi County with the Zuowei people to escort the grain!" ”

Wei Xiaoqi was very shrewd, he had already seen that something was wrong, and when he heard Wang Jiabin's hint, he immediately said: "Everything obeys the orders of the adults!" ”

Liu Zheng secretly felt bitter in his heart, these two are not the masters of Ansheng!

Wang Jiabin was happy when he saw that Wei Xiaoqi agreed, but he understood his situation and couldn't forget the form, so he hurriedly changed the topic when he saw it: "Well, where did you talk about it just now?" Let's move on! Oh, let's take a walk with us! ”

Wei Xiaoqi hugged his fist again and responded, and at this time, Liu Zheng couldn't help but listen to Wang Jiabin, so he could only respond.

Since you want to hear and continue to watch, then continue, he also figured it out, no matter what Wei Xiaoqi's identity is, just show him the good side, I hope this person can understand his hard work and not come to trouble himself!

So Liu Zheng said: "My lord, let's talk while walking!" ”

Wang Jiabin snorted, then raised his legs and walked forward, and at this moment he had the look that a prefect should have.

Liu Zheng fell half of Wang Jiabin's body and followed his footsteps, followed by Wei Xiaoqi and Wei Boyuan.

Wang Jiabin saw Liu Zheng and the three of them coming up, so he said: "Before, you told the government that the people of the Central Plains are a group of very simple, very lovely, and very pathetic people, you tell the government in detail!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zheng hugged his fists and said: "It is said that the people of the Central Plains are very simple and cute because they ask for less and return more!" ”

"In this life, there is only a little bit of a small requirement, that is, to live this life in peace and stability, there is no need to have much land, a few acres of thin fields are enough, you don't need to eat well, you can eat enough, you don't need to wear well, you can cover your body in summer and hardy in winter, women don't need their wives to be beautiful, they can be virtuous and run a family, and their children don't need how much they can produce, and they can be worthy of their ancestors when they grow up safely and start a family!"

"For an official like an adult, they don't have many requirements, let's take a county magistrate as an example, the people don't need him to have much ability, they don't need him to do much for the people, and they don't need him to be honest, as long as he can do one." Ming's word, as long as he does it, the people think he is a good official, if he can be honest and honest in office, the people will support him from the bottom of their hearts and love him, if he is treated unfairly, the people will cry for him, will stand up for him, and even give up their lives for him to go to the capital to shout grievances, to beat the drum, when he leaves office, the people will be reluctant to send each other, and will also send a million people umbrella full of blessings! ”

"They're all the kind of people who, as long as you treat them a little bit better, they'll be a hundred times better to you in return! If someone bullies them and someone avenges them, they will return all their worth and their lives! They are a group of people who have truly carved 'the grace of a drop of water as a spring' into their bones! ”

"They are said to be pathetic because there are too few people who understand them, too many people who don't understand them, and more people who bully them.

"It is said that businessmen should be the lowest, as a farmer-level citizen, they can bully businessmen, right, but what about the facts? Take a simple example, since Zhang Juzheng implemented a whip law, we will not comment on Zhang Juzheng's bad here, only that the people can only pay silver if they want to pay taxes, what should they do if they don't have silver to pay taxes? Sell Grain! Sell to whom? Selling to grain merchants, which grain merchant in the world is not desperately lowering the price, and desperately raising the selling price? The people couldn't pay the taxes, and they were punished by the board at the lightest, and the army was distributed, so they had no choice but to sell them to the grain merchants at a low price to raise enough money to pay the taxes! Is this being oppressed by businessmen? ”

"What should I do when I finish paying my taxes and have no food to eat? I had to sell my sons and daughters to get such a pitiful few taels of silver, and then go to the grain merchant to buy grain, but at this time, the grain merchant's grain was not the price when it was harvested, it had risen several times or even more than ten times! The price is high, do you buy it or not? If you don't buy it, you will starve to death sooner or later! Do you say that this is being bullied by businessmen? Who bought the children that the people sold? Haven't most of them been bought by those merchants? If you were lucky, you became a maid, and if you were unlucky, you were sold to the Qinglou! Who are those people who went to visit the Qinglou? Not a majority of businessmen? My lord, you say, is this sad? ”

"The businessmen are like that, but what about the rest of the social class? What about the gentry? Doctors, the gentry not only did not understand their plight, but also desperately squeezed them, and now gave them a rent increase, and Ming'er made a few reasons to collect money to loot the only money on them! You may say that the scholars and gentry who oppress the people are the scum of the officials and gentry! You may say that there are not only them but also those clear streams in this world, and those good officials who are dedicated to serving the people! Yes, they are indeed scum, but in this world, there are always more turbid currents and few clear streams! ”

When Wang Jiabin heard this, he felt a little stuffy in his chest, he didn't know what Liu Zheng said, nor did he not understand, but he had always seriously thought about it, what occupied his heart in the past was the words of the sage, the way of being an official, and looking forward to one day being favored by the emperor and rising to the top.

He spit out a mouthful of turbidity and said: "Yes, in this world, there are too few clear streams, cleansing the turbid current, this is exactly what my generation should strive to do!" ”
