Chapter 58: Big Rat, Big Rat

Autumn is crisp and cool, and everything is silent. Qing Huan and the others walked for a few days, and finally arrived in Ningzhou in a hurry. After rushing all the way, everyone actually felt a little hot, and there was fine sweat on their foreheads.

Qing Huan wiped his head, looked up at the sun, and sure enough, what Liang Xueru said was right, Ningzhou at this time was just the appearance of early autumn, and there was still the residual heat of summer afternoon.

Ningzhou is low, surrounded by high mountains, and in previous years, there was abundant rain, but this year's drought did not give the crops good moisture, which also led to a bad harvest in autumn.

The two bright characters of Ningzhou appeared in front of everyone, and they were also a little happy. In a short time, the gates of the city were opened, and several well-dressed men came out.

"Xiaguan Jiao shows a horizontal visit to Lord Liang, Lord Chang!" A man in a purple official uniform walked up to the crowd, his head bowed very low, and he greeted him with a smile, and the rest of the people also saluted.

"Master Jiao doesn't have to be polite!" Liangquan waved his hand.

Qing Huan didn't speak in the back, just looked at these officials and frowned. Looking at this Jiao Xiuheng's dress, it should be the state capital of Ningzhou!

"What's wrong?" Ji Huanling saw that something was wrong with her, and asked with his arm to slap her.

"Nothing!" Qing Huan took off her cloak, and what Liang Xueru said was right, Ningzhou was still relatively hot.

The crowd followed several officials into the city. I don't know if it's the arrival of autumn or what, the streets are full of dust, but there is also a bit of depression. There was not a single grass on the side of the road, nothing but dust.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise in front of him, and Qing Huan frowned and asked, "What happened ahead?" ”

Jiao Xiheng hurriedly stepped forward, smiled so much that his face was full of meat, and said: "Lord Huichang, Ningzhou received the news of the imperial court sending grain for disaster relief a few days ago, and I will hear that the disaster relief team is coming, and they are all waiting for food in front!" ”

"Let the masses calm down a little, even if it is here today, the time for food distribution will be delayed, pacify the people, and try not to riot!" Liangquan looked ahead, most of them were some people in tattered clothes, skinny, dragging their families and people were shouting in the crowd.

"Hey, hey, we'll do it!" Jiao Xiheng nodded, turned around and said to his subordinates, "I didn't hear what Lord Liang said!" Don't go yet! ”

"Wait!" Before anyone could agree, Qing Huan stopped, "Let's go over and have a look!" ”

The closer they walked, the clearer the clamor of the crowd became, and the officers and soldiers who were blocking it were also a little difficult, and everyone pushed and squeezed, as if they would break through the officers and soldiers in the next second, run to the front of the food, and sweep away the food.

Qing Huan and the others walked up, and the people in front of them pushed and shoved with less force, and they might not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the officials.

"Everyone!" Qing Huan's voice was not high, but it was obvious that everyone had stopped, waiting for Qing Huan to speak, "I know about the disaster in Ningzhou, everyone is anxious to get food, but everything needs to have a procedure." The matter of putting grain needs to be done step by step, so don't be anxious! ”

"You're light! You officials eat well and dress well every day, so naturally you are not in a hurry, but we are all going to starve to death! There was a man in the crowd who was loud and visibly angry.

"That's it!" A woman replied, "Our children will starve to death!" How can we not be in a hurry! ”

"yes, yes!" There were more people in the crowd who should be in tune.

Qing Huan frowned and turned his head to look at Jiao Xiheng, who was sweating profusely and smiling.

A woman in the crowd, squeezed to the front, knelt down with a plop, kowtowed a few times, raised her head, and burst into tears, "My lord, the women implore the adults to open the warehouse and release the grain, our family is already unable to open the pot, there are old and young, children and adults are okay to say, the old and the baby can no longer hold on!" ”

"Yes! My lord! I implore you to open the warehouse and release the grain! More and more people in the crowd began to kneel, from near to far, like a long dragon, winding endlessly.

"Okay, pass the order, open the warehouse and release the grain at the end of the day today!"

"Eh, Lord Chang, this ......" Jiao Xiheng wiped his sweat, and just wanted to say that this did not conform to the procedure, but was glared back by Qing Huan with a cold eye. I had to keep my head down and stop making a sound.

Qing Huan turned his head to look at Liangquan again and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Liangquan looked at her with a smile, he is now the only one who looks at her, what she says is what it is, it is naturally irrefutable, so he said: "I have no objection!" ”

The officers and soldiers passed down the order, and the crowd dispersed. Qing Huan was supported into Jiaofu. As soon as Qing Huan looked up, he saw two large gilded characters in Jiaofu, which were written extremely flamboyantly. Entering the house, rockery pavilions, strange flowers and stones, small bridges and flowing water. It's completely different from the bleak scene outside the door.

"Heh......" Qing Huan's eyes flashed with a cold light, now the situation in Ningzhou is so crisis, the people are in dire straits, and Jiao Xi, as a parent official, is so extravagant, it is really infuriating!

"Lord Liang, Lord Chang, please." Jiao Xiheng led the way with a smile on his face, completely unaware of the hatred of Qinghuan behind him, "The two adults came to the Humble House, which really made the Humble House shine!" The lower official prepared wine and food for the two adults to catch the wind, and invited the adults to appreciate their faces! ”

Qing Huan stopped, she really couldn't help it, so she said: "Lord Jiao is very modest, Jiao Mansion sits in the south and faces north, and the terrain is excellent. Strange flowers and plants in the house, small bridges and flowing water, such a beautiful house, adults actually say that it is a cold house? ”

Jiao Xiheng saw Qing Huan stop, and also stopped, he was having doubts in his heart, when he heard Qing Huan's words, he was trembling, and before he could speak, Qing Huan said again:

"Now that the Ningzhou disaster has not been resolved, Lord Jiao may be able to eat?" Qing Huan's eyes were bright, and he really looked like an innocent teenager of fifteen or sixteen, but the words he said were heart-wrenching.

"Xiaguan is confused!" Jiao Xiheng has been an official for more than 20 years, and he has never been afraid of anyone, even when he entered the palace to face the saint, he was not afraid, but when he heard Qing Huan's words, he was so frightened that his legs trembled and he knelt down.

From the very beginning when he went out of the city to greet Qing Huan, he felt that this young man had an indescribable aura, and those clear eyes, as if he had seen through all the dirt of time, made him have nowhere to escape.

He originally thought that a child would be easy to deal with, and he could just pass it away casually, so he just needed to eat and drink well to please Liangquan. But he didn't expect that along the way, Liangquan would listen to this Chang adult.

So he suddenly remembered that Chang Youmou dragged Shang Shulang He Cheng off the horse, and unconsciously shuddered. By the time he reacted, he was already on his knees.

What he did was not leaky, relying on himself to be the state capital, and colluding with other officials, so he didn't say a word in Ningzhou. But it's not the same thing when you encounter this often conspiracy!

I thought that he became a squire at a young age, and he knocked down He Cheng, and he finally got into the position of the state capital, but he didn't want to lose this black gauze hat.

Qing Huan didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't mean to get him up, he turned his head to look at Liangquan and said, "Lord Liang, there are still a lot of preparations before the grain is released, if Lord Liang doesn't mind, how about we discuss it together?" ”

Although Liangquan was hungry, he couldn't dismantle her platform, and he naturally couldn't get used to these corrupt officials, so he responded and said: "Of course you can!" ”

"I wonder if the state lord can lead the way to the study?" Liangquan put his hands behind his back, his eyes looked at Jiao Xiheng, and asked in a faint voice.

Jiao Xiheng wiped his face and hurriedly said: "The villain will lead the way, this will lead the way!" ”

Jiao Xiheng's study is also well decorated, and the four treasures of the study are all middle-class jade, which has aroused Qing Huan's dissatisfaction more and more, and his mind is also spinning, he must find a way to rectify him!

As soon as he sat down, Qing Huan asked, "How long is there until the future?" ”

"There is still an hour!" Liangquan said that although he felt that it was not good for the food to be opened as soon as it arrived, after all, there were still some things that had not been registered. But he still believes in Qing Huan's approach.

Qing Huan nodded, looked at Jiao Xiheng after a while and said, "The state capital can write!" ”

The corners of Jiao Xi's eyes twitched, it seemed that this kid really regarded him as a corrupt official and corrupt official of the common people, and in his eyes he was a straw bag. So although he said respectfully that he would meet, he had already remembered Qinghuan's hatred in his heart.

When Jiao Xi laid out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Qing Huan said: "I remember you to write, we only have one hour to prepare, and after writing in a while, we will post it according to the method I said." ”

"At the end of the day, Ningzhou has opened up food, and all the people who are still alive at home can get food. It shall be registered by the government, and shall not be falsely reported or received repeatedly. There are six grain distribution locations, with branches near Ningzhou, and two special locations at each location, which are reserved for people who are particularly difficult at home, so that they can quickly receive food. In addition, in the process of distributing grain, there are incidents of grabbing food, fights and brawls, and those involved will not be allowed to obtain food and will be sent to prison......"

After Qing Huan finished speaking in one breath, Jiao Xiheng couldn't keep up with her speed, Qing Huan frowned and didn't speak.

Liangquan was already speechless in surprise on the side, in such a short period of time, Qing Huan was able to think of so much, he really admired it very much. After thinking about it, he added: "When the time comes, organize personnel to directly count the amount of grain distributed at the grain distribution site, and there is no need to count it now." ”

Jiao Xiheng hurriedly finished writing, Qing Huan read it a few times, changed some things, and then asked him to post it. When Jiao Xiheng went out, Qing Huan looked pensive.

"What's wrong?" Liangquan stared at her, her little face was deep, her eyes were deep, her eyelashes were long, and she was cutely tight, and suddenly her heart seemed to fluctuate.

Qing Huan raised her head, just met his eyes, she was stunned for a moment, then shifted her gaze and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little worried about what to do after the food is distributed, after all, there is little food and a large population, which is only enough to survive for five or six days." ”

Liangquan didn't expect Qing Huan to raise his head, but he was also a little embarrassed, so he also shifted his gaze and said, "When the food is finished, we will solve this problem." ”

Qing Huan nodded, at the moment, it can only be like this.
