Chapter 81 Three years of Qingzhi County, 100,000 snowflakes of silver
After experiencing the previous events, everyone knew that this was just the beginning, and there were greater dangers waiting for them later, so they didn't dare to be careless, and they all stared around cautiously, for fear that something would happen suddenly.
Lin Tianyang's body has recovered, and it has also reached the true recognition of the Heavenly Star Divine Sword, and now he has a trace of mental connection with the Heavenly Star Divine Sword, and he can completely control the Heavenly Star Divine Sword, but his strength still restricts the play of the Heavenly Star Divine Sword.
On this day, the team was still advancing, and there was a quick horse report, saying that Lord Du Chengli had arrived at the disaster area of a neighboring province, and they were not far from Zhao Shanfeng, so they could echo each other, as for the disaster relief materials, Lord Du Chengli had already prepared some, and the rest were still actively raising.
"Master Du is also a capable person, this flood has spread across four provinces, and it is not easy for him to raise so many disaster relief materials." Zhao Shanfeng sighed.
"In the past few years, the country has been safe and secure, the wind and rain have been smooth, the grain and taxes have also been very good, and there is some money in the treasury." Wang Dakuan said.
"Yes, but this flood has been a catastrophe from ancient times to the present, and if you want to deal with it well, it is not easy, and you need to work harder." Zhao Shanfeng said.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely do our best to do our best, and we dare not slack off in the slightest." Several officials said together.
"I'm still very pleased with you, you've done a good job over the years." Zhao Shanfeng said with a smile.
"My lord, the four counties in front have been flooded, and now the situation is very urgent, I wonder if we are separated, a few of us will go to other counties to inquire about the situation first, and then report to the adults." Wang Dakuan proposed.
"Well, that's a good proposal, let's go separately and keep in touch at any time." Zhao Shanfeng said.
Soon, everyone divided into four teams and rushed to different counties, Lin Tianyang was still by Zhao Shanfeng's side, and the master and Commander Qian did not leave.
"The front is Drinking Horse County, the county seat is called Drinking Horse City, this time the big water is the Drinking Horse River, this drinking horse is still left by the first emperor, when the first emperor passed by here, he drank horses in that river, and then it spread, and it was changed to this name." Zhao Shanfeng said with a smile.
When everyone heard Zhao Shanfeng's words, they all nodded silently, it turned out that there was such a source here, they didn't know it.
Just when everyone was less than twenty miles away from Drinking Horse City, they saw a lot of fleeing people running from the direction of Drinking Horse City.
As soon as Commander Qian saw it, he took the lead in welcoming them, stopped those refugees, and led them to Zhao Shanfeng.
"What are you going to do? Is it to escape the famine? Zhao Shanfeng asked.
"Yes, we just went to escape the famine, and we couldn't survive anymore because of the big flood." One refugee said.
Hearing this, Zhao Shanfeng was stunned and asked puzzledly, "How can this be?" Didn't the imperial court allocate food? Moreover, there is news from your county town that although your flooding is serious, the refugees are well settled. ”
"Grain? Well settled? Bullshit, we didn't see anything, the county government opened a porridge shop, a handful of rice and a pot of water, the porridge boiled out was the same as clear water, many people starved to death in the city every day, and it was impossible to escape if they wanted to, we all ran out secretly, and there were people chasing behind, and many people were shot. One refugee said.
"Seeing that we ran away, the chasing people have already gone back, I don't think you are ordinary people, you should not go, you will also be caught building the embankment." The other said, and then beckoned the group to continue running.
"You wait... Zhao Shanfeng shouted loudly, and then distributed the food that people brought to everyone.
"I am the official of the imperial court who came to relieve the disaster, if what you said is true, I will definitely not let go of the county officials here, please believe me." Zhao Shanfeng said.
Hearing Zhao Shanfeng's words, dozens of people were stunned, looking at Zhao Shanfeng with a suspicious look.
"My lord, it's not that we don't believe you, since ancient times, officials have protected each other, we really can't believe it." An old man looked at Zhao Shanfeng and said.
"I, Zhao Shanfeng, swear by the head of the Xiang, if the situation is the same as what you said, I will definitely not let go of these dog officials." Zhao Shanfeng said loudly.
"Zhao Shanfeng? You are Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry? The old man asked suspiciously.
"It's like a fake." Zhao Shanfeng said loudly.
"Folks, this is the first person to control the water, Zhao Shanfeng Lord Zhao, we have been saved, we have been saved... The old man shouted loudly, and then took the villagers to kowtow to Zhao Shanfeng.
Zhao Shanfeng hurriedly took the lead and helped these people up, let them continue to eat, and at the same time chatted with them slowly to understand the situation in the city.
It turns out that the county order of Yuma County here is called Qin Weimin, and he has been a county order for more than ten years, but his political achievements are completely different from his name, his name is Qin Weimin, and the homonym is diligence for the people, but he has never done things for the people.
This time, the water of the Ma River was not much, but Qin Weimin did not let people control the water, so that later the water became larger, washed away the embankment, washed away the rice fields, and then he asked the court for money and grain, after the money and grain arrived in his hands, they were all detained, and the porridge shop set up by the court was just for show, and there were tens of thousands of refugees in the county alone, but Qin Weimin only took out 500 catties of rice every day to cook porridge for disaster relief.
These people also can't survive before they ran out, they heard that Zhao Shanfeng was in the province not far from the water control, and no one was starved to death, the victims had food and drink, they wanted to go to the run, but they didn't expect to meet Zhao Shanfeng and others here.
"Damn, damn it... After listening to the stories of these refugees, Zhao Shanfeng's angry hair stood up, and he said angrily: "Damn it, these moths, the old man will definitely not let them go." ”
"My lord, it's already afternoon, and it's almost time for them to put porridge in the evening, so we just took the opportunity to go in and feel the situation." The master said.
"My lord, the city gates are guarded, and those who can't get in." The old victim said.
"We have our own way." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.
"I have to change my clothes because of the grievances." Master said with a smile.
"Okay, this is not a grievance, they are the real grievance." Zhao Shanfeng pointed to the victims and said, and then said: "You guys are waiting for our news around here, after dealing with that hateful Qin Weimin, I will have someone come to pick you up." ”
Not long after, a group of more than a dozen beggars walked into Drinking Horse City, these people were dressed up by Zhao Shanfeng and others, Lin Tianyang only used a small spell to confuse the soldiers guarding the city gate, and they came in easily.
When they entered the city, they were shocked by what they saw, and all of them were pale, listless, and without a trace of life.
"We're all hungry." Zhao Shanfeng looked at these people and said.
"Porridge, porridge... Suddenly, someone shouted, but the people around were not very enthusiastic.
"It's porridge, it's not clear water, more than a dozen people share a grain of rice, this is a deliberate desire to starve us to death." A man said disdainfully, leaning against the wall but not moving.
The others were expressionless, indifferent to each other, as if they had nothing to do with them.
"Let's take a look." Zhao Shanfeng said.
"Don't go, let's find a place to lean on, take two steps less, and save some physical strength." A refugee said.
Hearing this, Zhao Shanfeng's heart twitched, and Lin Tianyang and the others were also very uncomfortable, and at the same time very angry.
When everyone came to the place where the porridge was placed, there were still many people receiving the porridge.
Lin Tianyang and several people squeezed into the crowd, and when they saw the cauldron of porridge, several people were really angry, if it weren't for Zhao Shanfeng's advice, several people would have smashed these pots now, it turned out that these cauldrons were full of water, and there was only a small pinch of rice at the bottom of the pot.
Lin Tianyang and a few people squeezed out of the crowd with clear water for a few nights and returned to Zhao Shanfeng.
Seeing the "porridge" in a few bowls, Zhao Shanfeng was completely angry and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by his master.
"My lord, we have to do it thoroughly, so that he can be convinced, and he will die to understand." The master said.
"What can you do?" Zhao Shanfeng asked.
"We should go to the backyard of the county government and take a walk." The master said with his eyes shining.
Not long after, several figures avoided the guards and jumped in from the backyard wall of the county office, it was Lin Tianyang and a few people.
Lin Tianyang and the others quickly found several warehouses, which were all very large and filled with rice and white flour.
Seeing these rice and white noodles, Lin Tianyang's hair was smoking.
Soon, everyone found an ice cellar, which was full of all kinds of meat, as many as several thousand catties.
Lin Tianyang and the others searched for a while, and found a secret room at the back of the study, and when they opened the secret room, it was all gold, silver and jewelry, with a total of no less than hundreds of thousands.
"Three years of Qingzhi County, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, this Qin is for the people, damn it." The master said.
"Let's go, let's go and report to the adults." Commander Qian said angrily.
After listening to the reports of several people, Zhao Shanfeng really couldn't help it, and immediately ordered Lin Tianyang and others to immediately control all the people in the county government and bring all the people in the county government, especially Qin Weimin, who must not let him slip through the net.
Lin Tianyang and the others immediately took action, they couldn't bear it anymore, and they could finally break out.
