Chapter 311: Finally Seeing a Glimmer of Light
Xie Yijun immediately went to count the area of the fields and all kinds of crops after the river was opened, and sometimes even stayed at people's homes all day long, so busy that he didn't have time to see Luo Lingzhi. Therefore, Luo Lingzhi knew that the matter of the river dredging had been successfully completed, but she didn't want to think about what preparations Xie Yi, who was only focused on work, would help her subdue Xu Taishou.
Xie Yi, who was burying his head in the case, didn't know that he just really wanted Shucheng Taishou to reclaim the wasteland as soon as possible, so as not to delay the spring ploughing that would arrive in the blink of an eye.
"Mrs. Xu, please get up."
Luo Lingzhi immediately stepped forward to support Xu Taishou, she could feel that this Xu Taishou's attitude towards her was very sincere, so she also had a little more sincerity, and said with a smile: "I won't say much nonsense, this water conservancy matter is the foundation of the people's survival, and it is very important." Originally, I was only in charge of Chuancheng, and it stands to reason that as long as I ensure that Chuancheng can have enough water for irrigation, but I still asked Xie Yi to dredge the river in Shucheng, Xu Taishou knows what it is for? β
After doing good deeds, it is natural to say that Luo Lingzhi is not the kind of person who is silently dedicated.
Xu Taishou was also relieved to see Luo Lingzhi so straightforward, he was the most impatient and those who had to go around for a long time to give you a clear sentence, his eyes fell on the hundreds of carriages full of materials behind him, Xu Taishou already understood the meaning of Luo Lingzhi coming over in his heart.
Only the imperial court sent supplies to the localities.
But since the famine began four years ago, Emperor Feng has never cared about the disaster situation in these places, and even demanded that they pay taxes even more harshly, and I don't know how many people were killed in just one year.
Later, King Duan directly rebelled openly, and Emperor Feng, who was busy quelling the chaos, increased taxes regardless of the people's lives, and forced many people to death, and forced ordinary people to come out to rebel.
After such repeated tosses, the imperial court also knew that the grain could not be harvested, after all, most of the places had suffered disasters and there was no food at all. The rest were either occupied by rebel forces like King Duan and King Beixin, or they were controlled by big forces like Huainan or the Wang family and the Cui family, and of course, more of them barely survived with the land of Sichuan and Shu. Where is the grain to pay taxes!
The imperial court has also forgotten that there is also the responsibility of disaster relief.
When he couldn't stop the boiling sound of the world, Emperor Feng pushed a scapegoat out and killed things, such as the Xie family before. Or it is a dirty act called disaster relief, such as letting a ruthless person like Jiang Mao go to disaster relief with a pile of waste products, but in fact, he looted the people's fat and ointment for his own use.
The imperial court has confiscated a lot of taxes in the past two years, and has to give silver to the hundred officials of the imperial court, Emperor Feng is actually very poor, so he connived at Jiang Mao's people to loot silver and grain for him, so as to maintain a huge overhead. Under such circumstances, Emperor Feng did not make up his mind to revive the dynasty and do something practical for the people of the world, but became more and more extravagant, and there was really no one.
Anyway, Xu Taishou had long since denied Emperor Feng on the dragon chair, and he was originally guarding Shucheng and surviving for a long time, but he stayed up until now, and finally saw a glimmer of light.
He was willing to float the person in front of him, even if it was just a woman.
But for the sake of nearly 200,000 people in Shucheng, he was also willing.
Xu Taishou nodded seriously, and his upright body, who was over fifty years old, bent down slightly, "Luo Niangzi speaks brightly, I, Xu Zhan, am a big boss, and I won't say anything good, but I can definitely guarantee that it must be true." It stands to reason that the imperial court has to send officials to the local government to help the disaster in this place, and the materials naturally have to be given by the imperial court, but in the current situation of Dongfeng Kingdom, Emperor Feng doesn't care about the life or death of the people at all, but Luo Niangzi is kind-hearted, Xu Zhan is here to express his gratitude again. β
Luo Lingzhi did not avoid this ceremony, and smiled and motioned to Xu Taishou to continue.
After bowing his hand, Xu Zhan continued: "But our Shucheng is not ignorant, Luo Niangzi treats our Shucheng and Sichuan City the same, then our Shucheng naturally has to surrender to Luo Niangzi with the same attitude as Chuancheng." β
Luo Lingzhi felt that it was comfortable to talk to someone with an open mind, and the smile on his face became stronger, "Xu Taishou is an understanding person, and this is the matter for me to come here today." Since I have talked about the matter, I will also express my position here, and please rest assured that the people of Shucheng and Chuancheng will be my Luo Lingzhi people in the future, and they will definitely protect everyone. β
"There are some materials for the winter, Xu Taishou will count the establishment of the situation, if there are still shortcomings, just send someone to tell me, there is another ......."
Luo Lingzhi came to Shucheng in person, but it was not just for Xu Taishou to say that he was willing to surrender.
This is to ask him to show his attitude with concrete actions.
Xu Taishou has lived for more than fifty years, and his mind is also transparent, so he naturally understands that Luo Lingzhi must have something important to come here, so he directly asked Luo Lingzhi to say bluntly, "Luo Niangzi, please say directly, if there is anything you want us to do in Shucheng, we must obey the order." β
Judging from the current situation in Chuancheng, this Luo lady does not say that she puts the people who belong to her in her heart, but she also definitely puts it in her eyes, and she will not use her life to fill her own merits, and everything she does is beneficial to the people. This is enough to make him believe that Shucheng's attachment to this Luo Niangzi must be the best choice at the moment.
"I know that this request may be a bit difficult, but looking at Lingzhi, I really can't find another suitable person to go. Listening to Cui Taishou, Xu Taishou was a victorious general back then, even compared with General Li, he was not disgraced! After learning about Xu Taishou's achievements when he was young, Luo Lingzhi thought about it, after all, her current 50,000 soldiers are completely like porcelain dolls, looking decent but definitely not as good as those armies who have seen blood.
And Ling Qing is still too young, and it is okay to just manage the military camp in a truce at present, but if it is a battle, he may not be able to play it well.
Xu Taishou's big eyes swept sharply at Cui Taishou, who was only standing silently next to him and did not speak, and said in his heart, this old boy gave this Luo lady a clear picture of his details.
What to see?
It's not to add some chips to your old boy, otherwise you will annoy Luo Niangzi with such a bullish temper, and then people don't want you to look at you, and then I'm afraid that there will be no place for crying!
The eyebrows of the two of them went to Luo Lingzhi and Luo Lingzhi didn't see it, but the corners of his mouth gradually hooked.
Such a relationship that can spare one's life for the other party is also extremely rare.
Xu Taishou didn't dare to let Luo Lingzhi wait for a long time, anyway, his old bottom was already known to others, so he simply opened up and said, "Luo Niangzi knows that I, Xu Zhan, am a rough person, so I won't sell Guan Zi and say those crepe words." I used to be a military attachΓ©, but then General Li's only son had an accident at the border and left behind a daughter, all of whom died. I was stationed next door, and immediately asked the court for assistance after realizing that the border guards had spies, but was refused, and this delay caused the tragedy of the Li family. β
