The two of them laughed, so that they didn't say those flattering words.

After explaining to the homeless people how to eat locusts, several people mounted their horses and hurried forward.

On the way, Thorn Shi issued orders to several officials in front of him.

"There is an order from this official here, and a few of you go to other villages and county seats, and you must solve the problem of locust plague and refugee famine in the shortest possible time."

"Yes!"

The officials responded one after another, and immediately took over the order of the assassin and were about to leave.

They had to let the world's homeless people know in the shortest possible time that the locusts could eat.

At this time, time is a precious life!

Wang Xianling and Liu Junshou also received the dispatch and prepared to go to several nearby villages.

Although the two of them have already achieved merit in this incident, in order to starve to death as little as possible, the two still plan to continue to radiate light and heat.

Anyway, there are no displaced people in their counties, so there are no worries.

But just as the two were leaving, Thorn Shi suddenly stopped them.

"Liu County Shou, Wang County Order, the grain is still a month away from harvesting, can your county pay all the taxes this year?"

As soon as these words came out, the cold sweat of Liu Junshou and Wang Tieshan instantly flowed out.

The two hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Liu Junshou took the lead and said:

"Lord Qi Qi Thorn Shi, this year's grain production is really not optimistic, plus most of the fields are eroded by locusts, the tax is really hard to say!"

Wang Tieshan also hurriedly said: "This year, there are 3,000 refugees and displaced people in Nanshan County, and in order to prevent them from stealing grain, the people have already collected the grain in advance!" ”

"The grain production is not even a third of what it used to be...... The people themselves don't have enough to eat, so they pay ...... taxes."

Speaking of the most uncomfortable part, Wang Tieshan, a black-faced man, was only choked.

Liu Junshou didn't cry, but his tone was also very humble.

"I also hope that Lord Thorn Shi can be exempted from this year's taxes!"

"Well, that's true."

Thorn Shi sighed, but his expression was not much surprised.

Due to locust plagues and famine, this year's harvest will certainly not be good!

Now it is the best ending to let the displaced refugees survive and solve the locust plague!

Thinking of this, Lord Thorn Shi barely smiled.

"You all get up, this year's locust plague is obvious to all, it's not your fault, let alone the people's fault!"

"This matter will be explained to the emperor when he turns around, and the emperor is generous and benevolent, and he should be able to exempt us from the taxes of Henan Province! But this can't be asserted yet, wait for the official to report it first! ”

If it was in normal times, he would never dare to say that.

After all, collecting taxes downward is the biggest pressure on him!

If the taxes are not collected properly, the first thing the emperor will blame is the assassin Shi!

But this year was different, as long as he reported the problem of solving the famine and locust plague to the emperor, it would be a great achievement!

When the emperor was happy, he explained the matter to the emperor again.

I believe that even if it is the emperor's business, he will not dispose of him at will.

Merit or sin, which is more important?

Tang Taizong can still see it.

"So good, so good!"

Only then did the two of them smile a little.

Being able to waive taxes for one year is a bonus!

Otherwise, they will have to run for a long time in order to collect tax revenues!

The people really couldn't hand over the food, so they had to move around and get the food.

For the sake of the officials and the incorruptible, they must not force the people to death!

"But ......"

As if he wanted to say something, Thorn Shi suddenly opened his mouth.

But in the end, the words were not spoken.

"Alright, you two can go. This official has to rush into the capital to face the saint! ”

"Farewell to the official!"

"Farewell to the official!"

Although they didn't know what Thorn Shi was going to say, the two of them also knew that it was best not to ask what they shouldn't ask.

The two chose to leave, and Lord Thorn Shi muttered inexplicably.

"Didn't my unassuming dog say to collect taxes? Where did the people go? I haven't been back for almost a month......"

Maybe it was because the surroundings were too quiet, and Wang Tieshan, who had already walked away, still heard a few words.

He looked at Liu Junshou on the side and muttered:

"Master, I seem to have heard what Master Thorn Shi said? What a month ......"

Liu Junshou, who was squinting his eyes and hurrying away, just glanced at him, and then said softly:

"Don't say more, shut up!"

Wang Tieshan obediently closed his mouth.

The two were silent for a moment, and then Liu Junshou's voice came.

"We'll do whatever Lord Thorn tells us to do, don't ask anything else that shouldn't be asked."

"Yes, Master!"

……

Ten days later, Ning Bei and Li Dabai finally arrived in Nanyang County.

The carriage walked on the main road that Nanyang County must pass, although the dirt road was still a little bumpy, but Ning Bei and Li Dabai were in a good mood!

Along the way, the two of them can't say that it's a smooth journey, it's called a smooth journey!

Those who know think they are doing business, and those who don't know think that the two of them are traveling in the mountains and rivers, eating and eating all the way!

And the expected loss selling and shouting basically never happened!

The two of them still made money while standing!

And it's all gold!

Enough! (Kaneko's English is a stalk that makes bullets fly.) ）

If you have to say that there is a fly in the ointment, it may be that you passed by these dozen or so counties, but did not encounter a county order!

It's as if the prefectural order has disappeared out of thin air, which is very strange.

They asked the staff, but they didn't know what was going on.

However, according to the fewer and fewer refugees encountered along the way, Ningbei also roughly guessed what these county orders were going to do.

Wang Tieshan Wang County ordered to go to Nanyang County to resume his life, and the county guard of Nanyang County will definitely not sit still!

Surely some measures have been put in place to eradicate locust plagues and famines!

And these county orders should have gone to the countryside to tell the people that locusts can be eaten.

Although I regret not seeing the county officials, Ningbei is still looking forward to Nanyang County, which is about to go!

According to Li Dabai, the county guard of Nanyang County is also a good official.

Therefore, as long as you can negotiate a good business with him, then it is redundant to contact those county orders.

It's like finding a backer.

If the emperor is willing to be his backer in Ningbei, then does he still need to find other officials?

The answer, of course, is no!

As the so-called hometown is more timid, looking at Nanyang County close at hand, Li Dabai is also very excited.

His father-in-law and mother-in-law are both in Nanyang County, and they are also big families.

Although his business can reach the current scale because of his real skills, in the early stage of entrepreneurship, his father-in-law and mother-in-law also provided him with a lot of help!

Therefore, when facing their two elders, it is impossible for Li Dabai not to be nervous!

He is now thinking about what gifts to buy for his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he enters the city!

At this moment, before the carriage entered Nanyang County, Ningbei got out of the carriage.

Because he had never been to Nanyang County, he wanted to take a good look at the prosperity of Nanyang County.

Li Dabai was naturally embarrassed to sit in the car anymore, and he also chose to follow Ningbei.

However, as soon as the two got off the carriage, more than a dozen people greeted them.

Looking at the dozen or so familiar people in front of them, Rao is Ning Bei and Li Dabai couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Chen Yuanwai, Wang Yuanwai, Liu Yuanwai...... Why did you all come to Nanyang County? ”
