Qingxi County, as the poorest county in Zhenyuan Prefecture, has the lowest living standards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info many people have eaten the last meal but not the next meal, not to mention, after the disaster, the county has almost become a gathering place for rioters.

The county magistrate Zhang Chong was in the county government at this time, and he was very busy, and he was very irritable. Zhang Pet looked at the news sent by his subordinates and felt very tricky.

At present, except for the county seat, the rest of Qingxi County has almost been occupied by rioters. This is exactly why Zhang Pet is upset.

Zhang Chong, as a county magistrate, understands his responsibility, to put it bluntly, he is actually a good parent official and benefit Qingxi County.

Li Zhongju led the army straight to Qingxi County, he was anxious and worried about Qingxi County.

Fortunately, Li Zhongju rushed to Qingxi County and found that the county seat was still intact, and his heart was a little relieved.

When Li Zhongju's army arrived, the county commander Zhang Pet immediately got the news and personally went out of the city to greet him.

Zhang Chong bowed very respectfully, "Xiaguan Qingxi County ordered to meet Lord Zhizhou." ”

Li Zhongju said lightly, "Get up." ”

Zhang Pet could only say thank you, stood up and led Li Zhongju's army into the city.

The Lieshan battalion was stationed in the Xiacheng Middle School Field, and the 200 soldiers of the town military camp entered the county government like Li Zhongju.

Zhang Zhong introduced the seriousness of the situation to Li Zhongju, he looked at Li Zhongju from time to time, and found that Lord Zhizhou's face had not changed significantly, and a stone in Zhang Zhong's heart finally landed.

Li Zhongju understands that this county magistrate is a more responsible person, and such officials are relatively rare in this era, maybe it is because they are poor here.

But in any case, in Qingxi County, Zhang Pet still has to bear some responsibility.

Li Zhongju looked at Zhang Pet and said, "Zhang Pet, you immediately draft a statement in the name of the state capital now." The content is that all the people of Qingxi County or other counties, as long as they return to their hometowns and continue to cultivate the fields, the state government can provide them with a certain amount of food and farming tools, and at the same time tax exemption for one year. ”

Zhang Pet looked at Lord Zhizhou with some surprise, and then there was ecstasy, so Qingxi could still be saved, "Don't worry, my lord, the next official will do it immediately." ”

Two days later, a state government document spread throughout Qingxi County.

All the rebellious people began to think, and those who were illiterate asked others for advice, in short, all of them figured out the content of the government text, and some of them rushed to the county seat to ask the government for their guilt.

Li Zhongju looked at these skinny peasants and said loudly, "You are all innocent, you have been forced to be helpless, you have no choice, and now that you have come to the county seat, Benzhou believes that you are truly repentant." ”

Li Zhongju continued, "You have all seen that twenty cauldrons have been erected next to the county government, and everyone is lining up, each of whom is ready to receive a bowl of gruel and two steamed buns. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, your ......," everyone knelt down and said with tears in their eyes.

Li Zhongju's eyes were also a little moist, he understood that poor people are like this, as long as you let them see even a glimmer of hope, they will support you desperately.

Li Zhongju picked up some people and asked them to line up to drink porridge and eat steamed buns.

Zhang Pet watched all this from the side, his heart was full of excitement, at this moment he decided to follow Li Zhongju all the time, no matter what, he would always stand by Lord Zhizhou's side.

Zhang Chong rushed to a cauldron, took the spoon from the hand of a soldier, and personally served porridge to the hungry people, he was a little hurried at first, but soon he became proficient.

Li Zhongju watched all this quietly, and suddenly he found that the county order Zhang Pet personally served porridge, he nodded, and looked at this county order in his heart, and remembered the name Zhang Pet.

An hour later, many hungry people all received gruel and steamed buns, and Li Zhongju instructed the county commander Zhang Chong to send five catties of grain to each person.

Li Zhongju knew that this was not all the hungry people in Qingxi County, and some of them were still in the countryside, or gathered to rob the landlords and wealthy households.

Li Zhongju decided to personally lead the army to deal with it, and he wanted to return the entire Qingxi County to peace and stability.

Fifteen miles south of Qingxi County, there is a tunzi called Qijiazhuang, which can be regarded as a very rich Zhuangzi in the entire Qingxi County. There is a landlord in Qijiazhuang who is rich and built a fortress, which is called Qijiabao.

But now there are seven or eight hundred hungry people attacking Qijiabao, and they are all holding back their strength in order to survive. The combat power of these hungry people is very terrifying, if it weren't for the fact that Tunzi has a wall more than four meters high, it must have broken through Tunzi at this time.

But even so, when Li Zhongju arrived with his army, Tunzi was already in danger.

Whether it was the people of Qijiabao or these hungry people, they saw the thousands of troops, especially this was an iron-blooded army, and a breath of death was coming, they all unconsciously took a step back and took a deep breath.

The battle between the two sides immediately stopped, and they all watched Li Zhongju's army warily.

Li Zhongju stopped the army from advancing, and he came to Qijiabao with a hundred soldiers from the town barracks, followed by hungry people. The army was 500 meters to the left of Li Zhongju.

Li Zhongju saw a stubborn old man in the fort, dressed in silk grosgrain, on crutches, with long braids dragging behind him, and his eyes burst with anger.

Li Zhongju shouted loudly, "The contemptible Li Zhongju has seen Old Lady Qi. ”

The old man of the Qi family also arched his hand and said, "The grass people have seen Lord Zhizhou. "The old man of the Qi family didn't dare to slack off on Li Zhongju, he understood that if he couldn't satisfy Li Zhongju today, maybe Qi Jiabao would be over.

Li Zhongju turned around, "Why are you attacking Qijiabao?" ”

Among the hungry people, a bold man in the prime of life shouted, "We have nothing to eat, but Qijiabao has food." ”

"Yes."

"That's right."

"There is grain in Qijiabao."

Li Zhong raised his hand and waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and turned to look at the old lady of the Qi family.

The old lady of the Qi family's face turned pale instantly, he knew that Lord Zhizhou had already set his sights on their Qi Family Fort, and this time he might have to pay a heavy price.

Li Zhongju said to the hungry people, "Anyway, it's not right for you to attack other people's Zhuangzi, but in view of your helplessness, this state will not pursue it." ”

Li Zhongju looked at the old lady of the Qi family and said, "Is it okay for your Qi family to take out 200 stone of grain to these hungry people?" ”

When the old lady of the Qi family heard this, this was going to bleed heavily, but he could only agree, "Lord Zhizhou has an order, and the grass people dare to disobey their orders." ”

Li Zhongju continued, "This state will pay you five hundred taels of silver within ten days. ”

When the old lady of the Qi family and the rest of the Qi family heard this, their hearts immediately blossomed, although the price given by Lord Zhizhou was the same as usual, but this was enough.

"The grass people thank you." The old lady of the Qi family and the Qi family knelt down and thanked him. The Qi family knows that this Lord Zhizhou is true to his word and never regrets it.

Li Zhongju said with a smile, "Old man, don't you still arrange manpower to ship grain?" ”
