Is this a good situation? Sheng Mingzhu frowned, completely unable to imagine what those bad county towns were like now.

"How can this be, stored in winter, the people are in winter, the crops in the fields should have been harvested and stored a long time ago, how can there be a famine?"

Sheng Mingzhu couldn't figure it out, the weather was really cold compared to previous years, and the snow on the ground didn't melt for a whole month, but it was just cold compared to it, how could it be to the point of famine.

"The county lord doesn't know, our place is not a place to produce grain, in previous years, the people were hungry and full and could live, but last year for some reason, since October, the weather has been extremely cold, the crops in the field can't survive, most of them have frozen to death, the harvest has dropped sharply, and now every household basically has no surplus grain, all of them are tightening their belts to live, and in such a cold day, they want to go out and find another livelihood."

"If you really can't survive, how can you keep clamoring for relief from the imperial court."

The prefect shook his head, looking sad, and didn't want to say more.

Sheng Mingzhu was silent when she saw this, and she didn't continue to ask, speaking of which, she is a pampered daughter of the Houmen Guifu, who understands the suffering of ordinary people, no matter how much she asks, it is just a scar borrowed from others.

After greeting each other, Sheng Mingyi went straight to the point and asked about the bandits near Longan County.

"To tell you the truth, I received an urgent letter from Grandpa Guo the day before yesterday, and I took people to search for several nearby hills, but we didn't find any traces of bandits, and I have never heard of bandits in the prefecture and county before, will there be any other hidden secrets?"

The person who replied was the county magistrate of Long An County, about fifty years old, with two beards on his mouth, following behind the prefect and never making a sound.

"No bandits? Can the prefectural magistrate be sure? Sheng Mingyi stood by the door, his eyes picked slightly, his eyes looked at the two of them, and said expressionlessly: "The people of my country's mansion were intercepted here, and their lives and deaths are unknown, this is undoubtedly a fact, my son has traveled thousands of miles to bring people over, just to find out the truth, and now there are several places in the vicinity that are in trouble, and the homeless people who are forced to helpless can do anything, and please ask the prefect and the county magistrate to have more snacks." ”

"What the second prince said is extremely true, we have sent people to patrol and search near the county seat, and once we find anything that can happen, we will report it as soon as possible."

It was getting late outside, and it was not suitable to go out to investigate, Sheng Mingyi could only live in the mansion first, and the county ordered the lord to vacate the best courtyard in the mansion and let them live, fortunately, Sheng Mingzhu prepared a lot of things, and when he first arrived, although it was not suitable in every way, he could endure it.
