Chapter 803: No one starved to death

When he returned to Wanchun Garden, he happened to meet a senior member walking out, and Liu Yunxiang hurriedly called out to him.

"Outside of the senior staff, can the boss of Luoxia Silk Village give a reply?"

Gao Yuanwai paused for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "Look at my brain, I have forgotten about this, don't worry, I will help you make an appointment with her as soon as possible, you just wait for my reply." ”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "The senior staff is busy with business, so I'm making trouble for you." ”

"No, no, it's a small thing."

The senior officer seemed to have something urgent to do, so he hurriedly said a few words and left quickly.

Liu Yunxiang returned to the house, slept for a while, and when he woke up, it was almost dark, and after waiting for a while, Hongxuan and the three of them finally came back.

Feng Zheng shouted that he was hungry, and he went to the kitchen to find food before he entered the hall.

Hongxuan and Xue Changfeng came in, and seeing that the two of them were tired, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to pour tea for them first, and then go to prepare the meal.

Hongxuan waved his hand, "We're not hungry, we're just tired enough after a day's work." ”

Xue Changfeng also said: "Yes, my backache and back pain, my arms and legs will be wasted." ”

After they had drunk their tea and rested for a while, they talked about today's events. They went to Qi County, and the county magistrate of Qi County was leading the people to dig water canals, and the work was in full swing, up to the old people in their sixties and seventies, down to the three-year-old children, and there was no idler on the street, all of them went to dig the water canals.

"Due to the climate in Yanzhou, there will be a drought in three or five years, and the people will be miserable. So he proposed to introduce the water of the Lujiang River into the Lianghe River in Yanzhou, fill the Lianghe River, and then dig the old canal left by the previous dynasty to irrigate the fields of several counties below Yanzhou, which was proposed by Yang He, and the imperial court also approved. It's just that the Nanzhou riot, the imperial court cut off this piece of silver, causing the project to be delayed again and again. Yang He ordered the local officials to take the lead and call on the people to take care of the section of their own county. When I heard about this at that time, I only felt that Yang He was of the opposite sex, and if this matter was to be done, it must be done with one mind, the officials must be able to take the lead, do it themselves, and the people should trust them, and at the same time abandon some narrow ideas. But today, the section of Qi County was dug up, and I learned from the ancient county order that other counties were also going to be dug up, which really surprised me. ”

It was surprising that these officials and people in Yanzhou were really of one mind, because of the different positions of the two sides, it has been difficult to do this since ancient times. I am shocked that the people can be so enlightened, do not show favoritism, and everything is good for everyone. What was even more shocking was the local businessmen in Yanzhou, who had always pursued profits, and when there was no profit to be gained, they donated a large amount of silver.

"Princess, Yanzhou has given me too many shocks and too many surprises, if every state of Darong is like this, then the whole Darong will be rich and strong, there are no internal worries, and there is no fear of external troubles." Hongxuan said with deep emotion.

"The three of us were also inexplicably infected, helping the people dig canals together, and the more we worked, the more energetic we became." Xue Changfeng shook his head and smiled.

This Yang He has a lot of skills, and he is an unpredictable ability.

Liu Yunxiang asked about the drought in Qi County last year, and tens of thousands of people were facing food shortages, "It should be very difficult to come to Qi County last year." ”

Hongxuan nodded, "It's not easy, let alone the people, the Guxian Ling family has eaten weeds." ”

"How many people are starving to death?"

Hongxuan looked at Liu Yunxiang, "Do you know how much Yang He said to the imperial court?" ”

"How much?"

Hongxuan sat up straight and said solemnly: "No one starved to death." ”

"Huh?"

He said that the people helped each other, ate weeds, dug up grass roots, and survived. This cannot be faked, so many people in the DPRK and China suspect that the drought in Yanzhou is not serious, and Yang He exaggerated and wanted to ask for relief. However, when we went to Qi County this time, we asked many people and confirmed that last year's drought was once in a century, and all the crops died and there was no harvest. ”

"That ......"

"No one starved to death."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, "Even if the disaster is so serious, no one is still starving to death?" ”

"That's what the ancient county order said, and I asked a lot of people, and they said the same thing."

Liu Yunxiang was shocked and incredulous, "That ancient county order can be said, how did they do it?" ”

"The people help each other, eat weeds, and dig up grass roots."

"It's the same as Yang He's rhetoric."

"Yes, tightly."

"But we know very well that if there is no relief from the imperial court for such a serious disaster, it will never be possible for the local government and the people to get through it by themselves, and none of them will starve to death."

Xue Hefeng came over and said: "And not only Qi County, but the surrounding counties have also been affected, but it is not as serious as the disaster in Qi County." ”

"Are there any starving people in other counties?"

"Nope."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Hongxuan, and then at Xue Changfeng, obviously the two of them were as shocked and incredible as her. Let's just put it this way, even if there is relief from the imperial court, it is very remarkable that no one can starve to death.

This is the situation when they came to Yanzhou, which they never expected before.

"We are here to investigate Yang He's corruption case, but it seems that we have been going around in circles these days, and we haven't found any useful clues." Xue Changfeng said a little dejectedly.

Hongxuan smiled: "It's not us going around in circles, but someone is walking us in circles." ”

"Huh? Who kidnapped us? ”

As soon as Xue Changfeng's words fell, Feng Zheng ran in, still holding a large plate of meat buns in his hand, "Aren't you two hungry, do you want to eat steamed buns?" ”

Xue Changfeng snorted, took a bun from the plate, and took a big bite.

"Little San'er Brother......"

"Phew! I have a name! ”

Xue Changfeng smiled and changed his title, "Brother Feng, you are the person next to Lord Yang Heyang, you know his affairs best, if you help us point us in the direction, where should this case be investigated next?" ”

After Xue Changfeng asked, Liu Yunxiang and the others all looked at Feng Zheng.

Feng Zheng sat down on a chair next to him, eating steamed buns leisurely, and said in the interval: "What are you looking for?" The truth? The truth is that my family has embezzled a million taels of silver. ”

"What about the silver?" Xue Changfeng hurriedly asked.

"Silver?" Feng Zheng sneered, "Don't say that you can't find the whereabouts of the silver, even if you release our adults, he won't find it." ”

"He's corrupt, he doesn't know where he is?"

"Hey, he just doesn't know."

Xue Changfeng felt that Feng Zheng intended to play tricks on them, so he glared at him angrily.

Liu Yunxiang and Hongxuan thought about each other, and then looked at each other, obviously they thought of a piece.

"Maybe this silver has never reached Yang He's hands, as for where it disappeared." Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes, "It seems that we really have to find a way to look at the account books." ”

"Do you want to do something extraordinary?" As he spoke, Hongxuan glanced at Feng Zheng and Xue Changfeng.

Liu Yunxiang thought about it and said helplessly: "It seems that there is only this way." ”

Xue Changfeng ate a bun and asked, "What do you two mean?" What do we do? ”

Without waiting for Liu Yunxiang to answer, Feng Zheng cut off, "Stupid, they want us two to be thieves!" ”
