The next day, the row was held in the general judgment hall, and Lotte, who had returned from illness, stood impressively in a crowd of officials, and among a group of officials in their thirties, forties, and fifties, the young face was particularly eye-catching.

Ye Zhizhou thought about the impeachment behind closed doors, and the state hall was naturally empty, and the ceremony of arranging the government was bound to be carried out in the general judgment hall.

In the eyes of Huang Tongju, Lotte is poor, quite a bit of a joke, and it is strange to be able to give Lotte a good face.

After the yamen, the officials wanted to go back to the ya, only to hear the voices of people outside the gate of the state yamen, and there was a commotion.

Huang Tongjuan, who was sitting in the hall of the general judge, felt that he couldn't save face, and ordered the leaders of the fast team: "If anyone dares to make trouble with the state government today, even if the official is sent out." ”

Huang Tong's judgment was miscalculated, Caizhou is not a small county in the countryside, the errand in the yamen said a few big words, and a few strokes of the board can scare the small people, there are many people in the state and city, and the Great Song Dynasty has a complete legal system, these people like to use lawsuits to solve problems when they encounter problems, if they encounter such a hard ballast as the state capital and cannot solve it, they will gather to make a noise, and yesterday's incident can be seen.

When the head of the fast squad got Huang Tong's judgment order to go out, he made a show of his prestige outside the state office.

After a while, I only heard some people shouting: "Half a month ago, the price of rice rose three times a day, and yesterday it has risen to 1,200 wen and one stone, do you still want me to live?" ”

Another citizen said: "The state officials have done nothing, and they have not come forward to curb the price of rice, and we and the people will have no way out." ”

……

For a while, the crowd was furious, and the people gathered outside the yaya shouted one by one.

The leader of the fast team, who was drowned in a stream of saliva, became more and more angry the more he listened, and shouted: "If you can't eat food, can you complain to the state government, and you want to blame those profiteers who raise the price of grain. ”

Some people listened to the scolding of this fast team, and immediately disagreed in their hearts: "At present, the price of grain and rice is expensive, and the official warehouse does not suppress the price of grain for the people, but you say such bastard words, what is the reason?" ”

Some people have long seen the essential reason for the rise in rice prices, and said angrily: "If it weren't for Huang Tong's judgment to be in charge of the prefecture and forcibly requisition rice grain from all counties under the rule of Caizhou, the local grain merchants would not have been able to collect grain, and the grain price would not have risen to more than three times that of half a month ago." ”

The chaos continued, and at this time, the people gathered in front of the state government scolded and pointed out, and saliva flew at the head of the fast team, shouting endlessly.

The head of the fast team is also a role in Caizhou City, and he is usually used to playing tricks, and he heard the people scolding, and immediately became angry, and the people were shut out of the door yesterday, as the so-called out of sight and out of mind, but today he almost pointed to his nose and scolded, how could he be willing in his heart, and he would threaten with a waist knife.

Seeing that his head was about to make a move, the rest of the fast men couldn't hold it back, and each grabbed the small people who were scolding in front of him, and they wanted to beat him.

The people of Caizhou City are not small people in the countryside, the market has strong habits, and most of them have some kinship with the local garrison.

Whenever an experienced official encounters such a thing, most of the mass incidents are mainly to appease, and as for the small-scale ones, the matter will be calmed down by taking down a few first offenders.

It's just that the head of this fast team obviously doesn't have the consciousness of officials, and the few fast people under him are also rough people, and they don't have any politicsCure the mind, each of them grabbed the people who were close to him, and beat them violently, trying to kill one to make an example.

Among the people gathered in front of the state yamen today, there are quite a few family members of the local garrison, and they have no fear of making trouble. The idiotic behavior of the government officials in several states undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, which immediately aroused the popular temperament of the people and completely detonated the resentment of the soaring food prices in these days.

Immediately, there was a fist, kick and stick in front of the gate of the state government, and it turned into chaos, and the situation was completely out of control, and it was out of control.

A few errands were either knocked to the ground with blue noses and swollen eyes, or jumped with their heads in their arms and went straight to the state office.

"I'm going to see the lord of Zhizhou and begging the lord to take out rice and grain from the warehouse to curb the price of grain, but is anyone willing to go with me?" Someone shouted.

When the man's voice fell, someone shouted, "I'll go!" ”

At present, the price of rice in Caizhou City is rising, driving the price of everything to soar, and the people have changed from three meals a day to two meals, and even many people have eaten these two meals to live a sparse life.

Huang Tongju, who was listening to the movement outside in the general judgment hall, shouted angrily: "How can this be the case, can these Diao people rebel?" ”

While he was talking, a group of troublemakers rushed into the state office.

"There is no country in your eyes!" Seeing a group of troublemakers rushing into the state office, Huang Tong corrected his clothes and took out his official authority.

There are many people who understand the trouble, and I saw someone say: "I want to see the boss of Zhizhou, and ask the boss to open a warehouse of grain, curb the price of rice, and have a way to live with us." ”

"If you have something to tell me, this official will use Caizhou to judge!" Huang Tongju said proudly.

After listening to Huang Tong's words, some people said contemptuously: "You are just a man in a green robe, where have you become the lord of the boss of Zhizhou." ”

"The only one who can be the lord of a state is the boss of Zhizhou, how have I ever heard that the general judgment can be a family!"

"It's ......"

"That's right!"

……

As soon as the voices of those few people fell, many people immediately cheered.

After the reform of Yuanfeng, the Song Dynasty can wear crimson robes above the six-grade officials, from the seventh to the ninth grade are all green robes, Zhizhou as a state, the crimson official clothes are naturally eye-catching, and now I see a green-robed official who says that he is in charge, and there will inevitably be some people among the people who are not convinced, of course, there are also people who deliberately pretend not to know that the state is temporarily judged by Huang Tong,

No matter how Huang Tongju spoke, the people refused to listen at all, insisting that they wanted to see Ye Zhizhou speak.

Now that it is in this situation, Cao Cao, a group of officials in the Yazhong, do not dare to say much, not to mention that the level is not enough, and since the rice famine turmoil, the affairs of Caizhou have been seen in their eyes, not to mention that the sky has fallen and there is a big man on top, and it is better not to mix these Cao officials and adjutants.

Standing in the crowd of officials, Lotte gloated at Huang Tongju, his eyes full of ill intentions.

With the lesson of a few errand soldiers being beaten outside, all the officials in the state government remained silent, and the price of rice in Caizhou rose, not only the people who were fighting the people, but also these Xu Ling, not so much how to be silent, but also silent resistance.

Being surrounded by a group of people in the middle is Zhuge Zai's ability to take out his tongue to fight the Confucians, and I am afraid that he will not be able to entangle it, not to mention a group of hungry people with green eyes.

Lotte believes that if Huang Tong is sentenced to death today, these people will be able to dismantle him and cook him to eat.

Things have come to this point that someone has to come forward to clean up the mess.

Clearing his throat, Lotte walked out of the crowd of green-robed officials, and said to the people: "Fellow villagers, Huang Tongju is right, all affairs of the state government are temporarily decided by Huang Tongju. ”

Many people turned their eyes to Lotte, and some asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The Imperial City Envoy under the rule of the Imperial City Division!" Lotte said.

Most of the Imperial City Division is active in the capital, and it is only in the past two years that the secret agents have been sent abroad, and where do the people of Caizhou know what the Imperial City Division does, but they dare not make a mistake when they hear these words of the Imperial City Envoy.

Zairen took the lead in saluting Lotte and said, "Boss, I want to see Ye Zhizhou Ye Lao." ”

"Lord Ye of Zhizhou has thought about it behind closed doors in the internal government, and the state government is now in charge of government affairs by Lord Huang." Lotte said.

Hearing that Ye Zhizhou was not in charge of the affairs of the state government for the time being, the man asked Lotte for help: "Caizhou's rice grain has risen more than three times in half a month, and the boss, as a royal envoy, also asks the boss to ask the imperial court to open a warehouse to release grain to curb grain prices, so that the people can have a full meal and have a way to live." ”

Lotte sighed, shook his head and said, "This official has no right to do things, and he is really powerless. ”

Hearing Lotte speak like this, the people mourned: "Could it be that the old man just sees that the people of Caizhou are hungry and struggling?" ”

"Those who are ministers take the prosperity of the people as their merit and the poor people as their sins, and we as officials should think about the common people and the world, how can we be good for our own selfishness?"

Just when Lotte was speechless to this group of people, he only heard someone outside talking heavily.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were cast to the voice of the speaker, and they saw a scarlet official robe shining red and bright in the morning sun, compared with the green in the general judgment hall, like a maple leaf in late autumn, which was obviously particularly eye-catching.

There is only one person in the entire Caizhou official office who can wear a crimson official robe, who is not Zhizhou Ye Mengde. Typical red leaves and green flowers.

"Master Ye, please open a warehouse and release grain to curb grain prices, so that I and the people have a way to live!"

"Master Ye, you are compassionate......"

……

Immediately, a group of people surrounded Ye Mengde, and the officials around Ye Zhizhou hurriedly protected Ye Zhizhou.

"Those who are in government should be honest and pure, and they should be kind and love the people." While speaking, Ye Zhizhou reprimanded the officials beside him, and said to the people: "Ye Mou is Caizhou's parents, but he doesn't want the people of Cai to fall into such a situation. ”

Ye Zhizhou's voice fell, and the people who broke into the state government immediately cried with joy, everyone worshipped, and shouted Ye Qingtian in their mouths.

Huang Tongju, who has been drunk on political achievements, suddenly felt like he was going to vomit blood, and he worked hard to accumulate grain, but now he was favored by Ye Zhizhou.

The officials of the Caizhou Administration looked at the two of them and suddenly felt that this scene was familiar.

At that moment, Ye Zhizhou issued a notice and ordered Caizhou to produce grain, and the rice prices in Caizhou, which had been rising for days, finally showed a downward trend. In this regard, Caizhou is also relieved, and the current pass can be regarded as surviving.

As an envoy of the imperial city, Comrade Lotte naturally has the obligation and responsibility to report the incident to his superiors, and of course it is inevitable to add fuel and vinegar during this period.

Caizhou due to food shortage caused by the people's uprising, Huang Tongju's political career will be greatly affected, if there is no thigh to hold, this life will not be able to survive the four products of the state, it is estimated that the state is the official of the state.

In the content reported by Lotte, in addition to the civil uprising caused by the food shortage in Caizhou, there is another advanced model, that is, Ye Zhizhou, the matter of the hungry people rushing to the government and appeasing the hungry people was written about by Lotte again.

Cast it into the peach to repay the Li, the state school tribute Lotte to enter the Taixue quota was presented to Ye Zhizhou, Ye Zhizhou wrote a word, and was transferred to the Lufu Lifting School Division, stamped with a lifting school official seal.

After being fined a few silver coins, the three grain merchants of Wang, Chu, and Shen were released from the state government prison in a very low-key manner.
