Even if the grain is laid, more than half of it has to be handed over, and the place is quite limited.

At present, the price of white rice on the market has risen to ten taels of silver per load, which is also priceless.

In addition, if someone in any state or county sets up a porridge field, the victims will inevitably pour in after hearing the news, and that little bit of food is enough for them to eat for a few days?

If they starve to death in the area, local officials are also responsible......

Who would do this thankless, and maybe lose the black gauze hat!

Why don't you play the court to explain the situation?

It's playing, but it's useless.

Not only did there not be a tael of disaster relief funds, but even this year's grain and rice taxes were not reduced in the slightest!

Xiao Chen was silent when he heard this, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously, and he was extremely uncomfortable in his chest.

At night, they were stationed in a county town, and all the local officials came to serve, and the banquets set up were still extravagant, and the supplies offered were still complete, and the filial piety to them was also quite generous.

Xiao Chen didn't have any appetite at all in the face of the delicacies on the table, just a little entertainment, and left the table under the excuse of being tired on the road.

The officials were still quite puzzled, I don't know why Grandpa Xiao looked unhappy? We haven't offended your old man either!

"I didn't go to the banquet, why did I come back so soon?" returned to the house and sulked on the bed, but Chen Jisheng slipped in again.

"No appetite." Xiao Chen said with his eyes closed.

"Are you tired of eating big fish and meat?" Chen Jisheng sneered.

"Lord Chen, I want to open a few porridge farms here to help these refugees, do you think it's okay?" Xiao Chen has been pondering about this.

"Nope." Unexpectedly, Chen Jisheng categorically vetoed it.

"Why!" Xiao Chen jumped up, "Can't I give my own money?" ”

"Boy, you're thinking things too simply." Chen Jisheng sighed, "The disaster in Weizhou is serious, how can the emperor not know?" He knew it but pretended not to know, and he didn't even give a disaster relief order! It's just that he is in urgent need of money and food to prepare for the war, so he can't care about these hungry people at all. ”

"If the local government gives relief, but you are the royal envoy, if you do this, won't you be against the emperor?"

Chen Jisheng made his words very clear.

"Then how about I pay for the local officials to help? Or maybe you just do it. Xiao Chen retreated.

"No, firstly, this is still your doing, and secondly, how can the magistrates not know the emperor's intentions? Do they dare to openly pay high prices for food relief? Speaking of which, I am still against the emperor, as for me? A convict is even more imsuccessful. Chen Jisheng shook his head.

"If you say so, we're going to watch these refugees starve! Aren't you a clean official, aren't you a courtier, how can you be afraid of offending his emperor! Xiao Chen was furious.

"Xiao Chen, what you see is so much, but how much can't you see? You saved what was in front of you, and you didn't care about anything else, right? And can you save them for a while, and can you save them for a lifetime? Chen Jisheng said in a deep voice.

Xiao Chen was speechless.

"They always like to say a sentence when they are doctors, it is better to treat the symptoms than the root cause, it is better not to treat them, and many things in the world are like this, you just clean up the wounds on the surface, but the hidden diseases in the root are not removed, but what is the use?" Chen Jisheng looked at the problem more deeply.

But it was useless for him to say this to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen was just a eunuch.

"If you want to help those refugees, you can only give them some reward money in the name of the concubine, which can be regarded as your kindness." Chen Jisheng finally helped Xiao Chen come up with an idea.

"Hehe, sure enough, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, just do it! But I'm all silver tickets, and I don't have that much cash ......" Xiao Chen thought it was a good idea.

"We'll have to ask the magistrate for help, but they ......"

Before Chen Jisheng finished speaking, he heard a noise of people outside, and then someone came to report, saying that the prefect and several adults in the garrison had something important to see!

"What's wrong?" Seeing seven or eight civil and military officials rushing in, all looking nervous, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Please take a look!" The guard handed over a note.

Xiao Chen took it and glanced at it, but saw a few lines of small characters scribbled on it.

When I heard that the concubine was coming there, I didn't like it either, and I wanted to greet it in person, but there were many inconveniences.

However, I heard that the concubine Niangniang is so beautiful and charming, comparable to Daji, and I have a kind of brothers who are also itching in our hearts.

Therefore, a banquet of delicacies from the mountains and seas was set up, and I wanted to invite her to come to my Black Tiger Mountain to drink a glass of wine with me, I don't know if I can't do it?

If she is willing to come, I will be happy, and if she refuses, it will also irritate me, and if I can't say it, I will take my brothers to invite it myself, but it will also be punished for drinking!

The payment was made by Gong Heihu, the creditor of Black Tiger Mountain.

"Who is this Gong Heihu?" Xiao Chen was really shocked and angry when he saw this bullshit stuff, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

Gong Heihu was originally a local hero, also known as the big hooligan.

His subordinates gathered a group of outlaws on the rivers and lakes to form a black tiger gang, bullying men and women in the local area, killing people and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil!

Later, he was cleared by the Han official army, and he immediately hid in the Black Tiger Mountain and became a mountain king.

Because the Black Tiger Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, steep and steep, so the official army can't do anything about him, and later the Great Zhou rebelled, he immediately responded, and was also named a guerrilla general.

Later, when the war calmed down, he felt that he had made a lot of contributions, and thought that Da Zhou would make him a general soldier or something, but unexpectedly, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked, Da Zhou not only did not seal his official position, but also listed all kinds of crimes he had in the past to kill him.

Gong Heihu was furious, and ran into the mountains to become the king.

This time, he changed his banner again, liaising and cooperating with some anti-Zhou forces, claiming to be the Black Tiger General of the Han Dynasty, and it is said that he also has connections with the Tianxuan Society......

This time, I heard that Liu Guifei was passing by here, and he suddenly had a whimsical idea to invite the concubine to accompany him to drink, so he sent someone to come at night and shot an arrow letter on the head of the city to invite......

It's a daring outlaw!

The garrison and the others were taken aback when they saw the arrow book, and they didn't dare to hide it, so they hurriedly ran to report to Xiao Chen.

"A clown who jumps off the beam, how dare he be so rampant? Could it be that he still dares to lead his troops to attack our county seat? Xiao Chen also felt incredible.

"Back to Lord Xiao, the city walls of our Fenzhu County are tall and strong, and he Gong Heihu doesn't dare to attack rashly, for fear that he will intercept and harass the frame of the concubine on the road, so it's not easy to be careful." Prefect Chen Ziang said.

"Gong Heihu also has hundreds of outlaws, all of them are brave and ruthless, extremely strong, but they can't be underestimated!" Guarding Lin Yue Road.

"I think Lord Xiao should quickly inform our Lord Governor of Weizhou County, and ask him to send one or two thousand people over to support." The person who spoke was called Wei Qiang, and he was the Qianhu who was responsible for escorting Liu Guifei's frame in Weizhou County.

That is, the guy who whipped the refugees, but was kicked by Xiao Chen.

At this moment, he looked frightened and restless, obviously frightened by Gong Heihu's arrow book.
