As soon as the meeting ended, the Yunzhou County Government began to organize an official visit team to Guannai.

On the surface, the Yunzhou County delegation was going to the customs to purchase supplies that were in short supply outside the customs, but in fact they were discussing human trafficking with the prefects of various prefectures.

The first stop is Xining Mansion at the junction of Liaobei County and Yunzhou County.

Since the severe drought last summer, Xining Province has been starving everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living.

But for the landlords and gentry of Xining Province, this is the best time of the year, and they can get the fields that are not sold by those who are tightly held by the people on weekdays with only a small amount of money.

The landlords and gentry expanded their land in this year of disaster, and their family business gradually became larger, and their daily food and drink became more luxurious.

The landlords and gentry sang every night in their homes, and the garbage heap outside the house was full of leftover food.

However, the people in the house not only lost the land on which they depended for their livelihood, but the rice jars at home were still empty, and the people could only go up the mountain to try to find something to eat in the mountains, but often the last thing they could find was some roots and turf.

It's all in stark contrast, one heaven and one hell.

Since the great drought, the prefect of Tay Ninh Province has been both happy and distressed.

Happily, the imperial court has allocated disaster relief funds again, and although it has been divided up layer by layer, he can still get a large share.

What is distressing is that the disaster relief funds have been received, but the number of victims under the administration is increasing day by day.

If this matter is not resolved or contained, then it will eventually explode, and then the prefect will die without a place to be buried.

As for the disaster relief money that can't be taken down to help the victims, don't be kidding, this disaster relief to your own hands has already been exploited layer by layer, and the rest of it is just a drop in the bucket to take it for disaster relief, it is better to improve your life, after all, natural disasters, the prefect's family is also suffering, and you need relief, isn't it?

As the group of victims in the province became larger and larger, Ma Denghe, the governor of Xining Prefecture, was also worried that he had listened to two songs less and eaten two bowls less rice.

The body also became fat twice.

It's really sad!

On this day, the prefect of Xining was dealing with some document handover matters in the yamen, mainly because the landlords and gentry in the palace handed over some documents to the people in the house in large quantities.

And these landlords and gentry Ma Deng and they are also old acquaintances, and they were also chic in the Zuichun Building last night, and when they saw these documents, they immediately did not hesitate to press the prefect's seal with a few clicks.

In this way, these land transfer documents have official credibility.

These lands were also completely transferred from the hands of the common people to the landlords and gentry in the province.

Once again, the land of Tay Ninh Province was pooled into the hands of a few in the land annexation.

"Fuzun! Honorable! Someone's coming! Someone's coming! ”

was clicking and using the seal, and suddenly there was a voice of surprise from his master Mu Youwei outside the house.

Madden and Yongyin's hand couldn't help but pause, and looked up at the door with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, the voice also came to the door from far and near, and a Confucian scholar dressed as a scholar with a square turban walked in with a happy face.

This person is Mu Youwei, the master of the prefect of Xining Prefecture, who assists and assists the prefect of Xining Prefecture in handling the daily affairs of the prefect's yamen.

"Lord Fuzun, there is good news! Someone's coming! ”

While walking in quickly, Mu Youwei said in surprise.

Ma Denghe simply put down the prefect seal in his hand and asked with a puzzled expression:

"When was Kunlin (Mu Youwei) so happy? What's the good news, and who's coming? ”

Mu Youwei walked two quick steps to Ma Deng and the table, and said with excitement on his face: "Fuzun, haven't you been in the house recently, and there are more and more victims?" ”

Madden nodded a little dazedly.

"That's true, but it doesn't matter who is coming, right?"

"It's related, it's huge!"

Mu Youwei said excitedly.

"The good news is that there is a way to solve the problem of the victims, and the people who come are the ones who solve the problem!"

Ma Deng and Wen Yanteng stood up and asked in disbelief, "Kunlin, what you said is true?" That's no joke! Master, I've been worried about these victims lately, so don't make fun of this house! ”

"It's true! It's true! How dare a student make fun of such an issue? ”

Mu Youwei hurriedly affirmed the authenticity of the news.

Ma Deng and Deng Shi couldn't sit still, got up and walked a few steps back and forth in front of the table, then paused, looked at Mu Youwei's voice with a little expectation, and whispered: "Tell me in detail!" ”

Mu Youwei smiled, stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Fuzun, just now a group of visiting groups from Yunzhou County outside the customs came to the mansion, it is said that the team organized by the Yunzhou County government came to the customs to purchase some scarce materials outside the customs.

The students also looked at their documents, and it was indeed printed by the Yunzhou County Government.

Originally, this is nothing, what materials do you need to procure, just go to the market and buy them yourself.

But they said that the quantity was too large and that they needed to cooperate with the government to procure.

The students thought that if we did this, we might be able to get a cut of it, so we invited them to the government office to start the discussion.

But in the process of talking, they revealed another meaning, that is, Yunzhou Mansion is now not only short of materials, but also short of people!

Moreover, they are also willing to exchange seven catties of grain for one young man, and two catties of grain for women, girls and children to buy people to fill Yunzhou County.

It just needs us to send people outside the Liaoyun Pass. ”

"What?! Isn't this just letting the government sell the people under its rule? They are all the people of this house! As the parents and officials of Xining, they are like siblings and relatives and friends of this government, how can this government do such a unconscionable thing as selling their siblings and friends for food?! ”

Ma Deng, the prefect of Xining Prefecture, shouted with unsightly faces.

But Mu Youwei went one step further, and then whispered: "The students also told them the same, but then they raised the price to ten catties for young and strong, and five catties of grain for women, girls and children......"

Ma Denghe, who was still looking bad just now, turned cloudy and sunny in an instant, touched his chin and thought: "Well, these people who stay in Xining Mansion and can't get relief will definitely be a dead end in the future."

It is better to let them go to Yunzhou County to ask for a livelihood, which can be regarded as the only thing that this parent official in this mansion can do for their siblings and friends.

Did you make it clear? How many people do they want? When will it be? ”

Mu Youwei suddenly showed an expression that he knew you would be like this, but then he quickly retracted and replied in a low voice: "The more the merrier, the sooner the better!" ”

Ma Denghe nodded, and said: "Okay, then send people out of the customs in several batches, each batch of 100,000 people, young and strong and women, girls and children are sent out together in the form of families to beg for a living, lest they say that the government will separate their flesh and blood, as for the old people in these families, they will be sent together as an additive, or it depends on Yunzhou County."

The newly arrived guard of Liaoyun Pass, Benfu, also has some friendship with him.

In this way, the government wrote a letter to him, and let a person go out and the government gave him a pound of food, so it should be no problem, right? ”

Mu Youwei: "The house is wise! Students, let's do it! ”

……

After a while, Mu Youwei went down to arrange for the sale...... Oh, don't send away the people.

The prefect, Ma Denghe, began to recall the recent price of food in the market.

"Hey, it seems that the food on the market has been rising to the point of one or two silver a bucket recently.

That mansion sends 100,000 yuan at a time, isn't it that the young and strong are one fight, and the women, girls and children are two fights......

Hiss...... It's sent! It's sent! ……”
