The first wind and rain drifted away

Emperor Chongzhen was angry with Lao Wang, which was of course due to his bad mood, but also because he was disappointed in his work as the governor of Dongchang.

It should be said that Lao Wang is very loyal and obedient, and the tasks assigned by me can be carried out 100% unconditionally.

But that's not enough!

What time is it now, my comrade brother, how can you still be unhurried?

What I don't think of, you have to take the initiative to think of and do it, without the supervision of your superiors, and you can also stimulate the enthusiasm of your colleagues.

Learn from your senior, Wei Zhongxian!

It's either doing something, or it's on the way to make trouble.

In such a troubled world, he is no longer satisfied with being able to make trouble, but also speaking out of nothing, and killing these grandsons.

Don't look at the recent group of adults in the court are very quiet and peaceful, it is that they are waiting for the wind, or waiting for an opportunity.

Don't think they're stupid, they're shrewd?

I reopened the factory and got another group of people, and they also knew that they would not touch my mold.

They can wait, they can consume, but I can't afford to wait?

The silver in the inner treasury is being consumed at the speed of visible light, but my great cause needs to be supported by mountains and seas of silver, and these affected people need my help.

"Big companion, do you have the confidence to pick up the burden of the East Factory?

Now is not the time of peace, there is no room for mercy, otherwise it is these poor people who suffer?

You see that at the beginning, Wei Zhongxian provoked the financial expenditure of the Ming Dynasty alone, and there was spare money to let Sun Ge Lao Jianningyuan and Jinzhou two cities, it was not easy!

By the steps you are taking now, I am very worried! ”

For Lao Wang, Emperor Chongzhen still wants to save it.

The emperor's words made Wang Chengen stunned, and dared to feel that the emperor was not satisfied with the progress and strength of the East Factory in recent times!

It's just that it's only been a long time since the factory reopened!

He didn't dare to refute, he caught a glimpse of the worry on the emperor's face out of the corner of his eye, and the determination in his heart that I would not go to hell and who would go to hell, his eyes showed a touch of ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice:

"The old slave has confidence that he will definitely fill the inner library. In the future, as long as the old slave is there, the emperor does not need to worry about the silver two. ”

"Well, that's good!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction with Lao Wang's statement, as long as he can have confidence, the position of the governor of the Dongchang factory is still his.

"Big companion, Wei Zhongxian's great achievements are inseparable from his huge party members and countless disciples, you might as well learn from him."

Lao Wang's talent may not be as high as Wei Zhongxian's, but he can learn.

Wang Chengen leaned over in response, and there was something called determination in his eyes.

"Let Jin Yiwei inquire about what is going on with this Master Zhao, in such a famine year, he actually dares to increase the rent by 30%, so courageous......"

Igniting Lao Wang, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and instructed the captain of Jinyi.

The tragedy of this old man's family is definitely not just because of the locust plague, and it is obviously not just an accident.

Looking at the locusts all over the sky, Emperor Chongzhen secretly thought to himself: Locusts and corrupt officials, compared to these corrupt officials, perhaps the harm of locusts is relatively small......

Soon, a few Jinyi guards sent to inquire about the news reported that Master Zhao's name was Zhao Zhiheng, the sixth year of the Apocalypse.

This person has a perverse personality, is not close to people, greedy for property, and has repeatedly extorted illegal acts, and the people in the vicinity dare not speak out against him.

Li Tianming, the magistrate of Bazhou, has not heard of any bad deeds.

However, Xu is old, has no hope for a career, does not like to manage politics, and most of the things are handed over to the master's staff.

After Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his whole face was instantly clouded.

He has been a small citizen and understands the dangers of official inaction.

For the official not to do, lazy and lazy government, the harm is especially better than corruption.

In all dynasties and dynasties, as officials, the people don't care whether you are greedy or not, but whether you do things or not.

The feeling that the heavens should not be called the earth and the earth is not spiritual, and the grievances cannot be appealed, are undoubtedly the most desperate and greatly affect the reputation of the imperial court.

is like Zhao Zhiheng, the county tyrant, who does evil, the government doesn't care, who can fight him?

"Message: Raise Zhao Zhiheng to harm the township, remove his fame, break his legs, and confiscate his family property.

All acres of land were incorporated into the county government and distributed to the landless people for cultivation. The surplus grain at home will be merged into the disaster relief grain, and the grain will be opened and released in a unified warehouse.

Li Tianming, the magistrate of Bazhou, did nothing, and immediately deposed and never used!

The post of county commander was temporarily replaced by Wu Chengfeng, the captain of Jinyi, and Lu Xinrong, the captain of the school, assisted by five Jinyi guards, who were responsible for disaster relief and locust extermination in Bazhou. ”

In anger, Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree.

Fighting local tyrants, dividing the fields, crying for thousands of laughs, and buying the hearts of the people, this is the easiest way, and Emperor Chongzhen is no stranger.

He will too!

As for saying that Bazhou County ordered Li Tianming to get out of class since he was lazy in government, some people fought for their heads and wanted to get on top.

However, he still used this position to test Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng's beloved apprentices and cousins first, whether they were usable?

Daming, a decaying court, needs fresh blood to be injected in order to regain its vitality.

"Emperor, the people believe that there is a locust god, and the killing is unknown, and the harvest in the coming year will be affected, do you want to recruit a large army to hunt and kill locusts?"

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Wang Chengen added.

And what's going on?

In the puzzled gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen explained carefully.

It turns out that the people nowadays are ignorant, in addition to believing in locust gods, there are several convenient reasons, which are not as simple as Emperor Chongzhen thought.

In his opinion, when it is a major matter related to the survival of their own family, as long as they make a little publicity, they will push the boat down the river and hunt and kill locusts with the people in the government.

But the reality is that the people are more inclined to wait for the imperial court to help than to hunt and kill locusts.

Even by escaping the famine to seek a way to survive, he would rather leave his fate to the unknown than fight with his own hands.

Also, in the eyes of many people, the plants and grains have been eaten by locusts anyway, so what's the use of hunting and killing them?

As for whether the locust plague will spread to other places as a result, or whether it will recur again as a result, the people do not want to think so much.

It seems to be this reason!

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment, and immediately asked dozens of Jinyi guards to hunt and kill locusts, but he went to the people in the fields.
