Chapter 298: Greed

Ji Qingling's face was slightly condensed, and he hurriedly asked: "What if it doesn't rain all the time and misses the farming time?" ”

"If it doesn't rain, it's just that there is still a locust plague in Fuzhou." Gu Yanzhang frowned and said, "If there is a rain, the locusts will not matter so much, I am most afraid that the seedlings will be planted, and the rain will not come down, the seedlings will only grow, and the locusts will also hatch out. ”

According to the report he received, not only was there a locust plague in Fuzhou, but there was a drought all the way to the north. In the entire Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu North Road, except for a few states and counties in the south, most of the rest of the places have not had a good rain for half a year, and some have not had a serious rain for three or four months.

Locusts are afraid of water, as long as they soak in water, the eggs will not hatch, but if there is no rain, when spring comes, the larvae will come out of the locust sheath, and they will gather in groups, covering the sky and the sun, eating grass and rice, grass and wood.

Where there are locusts, there is really nothing left.

I'm so hungry that I have to rob people of the bark of this thing.

What's even more terrifying is that it has wings and can fly.

There is never more than one place to make a locust, it is often a place, where there is a drought and where there is green, it flies.

In the few large states and counties on the left, except for Ganzhou, which is rich in grain, the rest of the places are good to be able to feed themselves in ordinary years, if they fly locusts, they don't know what it looks like.

At this time, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but be glad that Ganzhou had abundant rain as soon as the spring and summer seasons arrived. Compared with the locust plague, flooding the city and flooding the pond is really not a bad thing.

"Fuzhou is ...... now," Ji Qingling thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be a Ren Zhizhou surnamed Lu......"

Fuzhou, like Ganzhou, has always been idle in the past, whether it is Zhizhou or Tongju, there is not much sense of existence in the court, Ji Qingling thought for a while, and then turned the person's surname out of his mind.

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said: "It's called Lu Fujian, the champion in the second year of Jiayou, Xiang Ri is not famous. ”

Ji Qingling was even more worried.

Jiayou's two-year jinshi, and now, even if there are two or three times in the middle, he has been an official for at least twenty or thirty years.

According to the story, the first official is a general judgment in a state, and a year later he can also report to the saint.

Such a good hand, played for twenty or thirty years, actually knew a Fuzhou.

This Zhizhou is different from those Zhizhou who retired from the elderly, but they really have to work!

Although personal ability cannot be judged by fame, there is also a saying that he is a late bloomer, but if a person has been an official for decades, not only has no merits, but also has no fame, basically don't have too much hope for his talent.

In previous years, Fuzhou was stable, and even if the parents didn't care about anything, they could be smooth and smooth, but in the past two years, I don't know what Tai Sui has committed, and it has been dry and waterlogged. At such a time, if there are not a few capable people in the yamen to preside over disaster relief and rescue the people, the state is bound to be in chaos.

"Which one is the general judgment?" Ji Qinglingfu asked again.

Gu Yanzhang's eyes were also a little more helpless, and he said, "It's Chen Keci." ”

Ji Qingling was stunned for a moment, and asked a little tentatively: "Princess Yong'an's concubine?" ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded.

Ji Qingling's face suddenly collapsed.

It's another clan, and it's still a clan that eats soft rice.

Speaking of this colt, Rao has been out of office for seven or eight years, and when he goes to the capital at this moment, he mentions his name for the first time, and he can still listen to the "deeds" of his ears.

When he went to disaster relief, he forced the disaster victims, when he went to the army to supervise the camp, he forced the Xiang army, and when he went to Jiangnan East Road to supervise the grain, half of the batch of grain he was responsible for directly capsized.

If it weren't for the fact that the first emperor only had a sister of Princess Yong'an, this concubine would have been shelved a long time ago.

In comparison, it is not as good as Lu Fujian. Although the former can't do good things, they can't do bad things.

Ji Qingling frowned, pursed her lips, and looked worried.

Gu Yanzhang looked at it, couldn't help but lean over, stretched out his hand to rub her eyebrows, and said softly: "What is there to worry about, the matter of Fuzhou, it is useless for us to think more, naturally there is a Chongzheng Palace to plan, you should not worry about this, you should care about me." ”

Ji Qingling was a little surprised, she tilted her head, took Gu Yanzhang's hand, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the fifth brother?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Gu Yanzhang only looked at her, held her hand, and said, "I don't have anything to do, I just see that you are unhappy, and the whole person is uncomfortable." ”

His expression was solemn and his tone was serious, Ji Qingling was about to snort, but he couldn't say a word when he looked at the eyes that looked at him fixedly.

After a while, Gu Yanzhang straightened the robe on his legs and said softly, "Qingling, come here." ”

The two were already close to each other, Ji Qingling glanced at him, and without hesitation, got up and sat on his lap.

She touched her forehead with Gu Yanzhang, and made love face to face for a while before she nested herself in that solid and warm arm.

A familiar embrace, a familiar breath, and soon, her whole body relaxed.

The two spoke crookedly together.

Gu Yanzhang said to her: "I wrote an excerpt to go to the capital, please delay the grain tax in Ganzhou this year." ”

Ji Qingling's eyes lit up suddenly, and after a while, he remembered something and asked, "Is it because of Fuzhou?" Will it be recognized as greedy by the DPRK and China? ”

There is a regular time for the grain tax to be transported in various states, and there is no disaster in Ganzhou, and in previous years it was a large state that produced grain, so it was impossible to delay the grain tax without a legitimate reason.

What's more, now that the grain has been put into storage, if it is not sent away in time, there will be no place to put it when the autumn grain comes down.

Gu Yanzhang said "um", his left hand wrapped around Ji Qingling's waist, and his right hand gently held her hand, and said softly: "Not only Fuzhou, but also please keep a part of it, and prepare to build Ganzhou water conservancy for a while." ”

Ji Qingling was leaning on Gu Yanzhang's shoulder, and when he heard him say this, he thought of the situation in the capital for a while, and couldn't help but sit up straight, revealing a surprised expression.

Her eyes were wide open, black was black, white was white, her lips were slightly open, Xu had recently been well raised, her cheeks had more meat, and there was a faint pink in the white, and Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but smile lowly.

He stepped forward, kissed her on the lips, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you don't have to worry about being impeached for greed, so you won't do anything, right?" ”

In only eight months, his family will have to return to Beijing to report to work.

Time is running out.

Although he has only served as a general judge in Ganzhou for half a year, he is already comfortable with the affairs of a state.

After working so hard for so long to make the preparations, it is time to get down to business.

He has always had confidence in himself, and this confidence is based on hard work and diligent sweat day and night.

This is his first appointment, and before leaving, he wants to leave something memorable.
