Su Chen was quite speechless, but he didn't say much.

However, there is no rush in this matter.

……

Shendu.

Tai Chi Palace!

Zhou Mi sat there quietly, carefully looking at a recital, which described the disaster on the other side of the river very seriously.

In the beginning, it was just an ordinary drought.

For months on end, there was not a drop of rain. Although the people also sensed that something was wrong, no one took this matter to heart. And, winter is just around the corner!

There is water in the river!

Besides, there is still a lot of water.

The local yamen also organized people to fetch water.

It's just that the drought went later than expected.

……

Zhou Mi looked quietly, the simple words outlined an incomparably terrible reality, thousands of miles of red land, although there are still rivers, but the crops in the fields have also died. Even if you go to the river to get water and water it, it won't do anything, it's too late.

When the production of fields is reduced, the food that people rely on for survival is naturally insufficient.

And Yin Zhuang Youxing, the mansion in the river, took advantage of this opportunity to collect a wave of agricultural taxes!

This wave of agricultural taxes is somewhat inexplicable.

It was not handed over to the imperial court, nor was it filled with personal pockets, but was stored in the treasury of the yamen.

Zhou Mi saw this.

The brows furrowed deeply, Zhuang Youxing's character, she was relatively trustworthy, if not, she would not let him go to be the governor of the river.

It's just that this agricultural tax is a bit excessive.

It is equivalent to pulling the last grain of rice from the mouths of the people.

Later, although there was also disaster relief.

But the process of disaster relief was not very smooth, and a large number of people began to flee......

It has gradually been converted into a homeless person.

Countless people began to be displaced.

And Zhuang Youxing began to open the treasury again and took out these grains and grass for disaster relief!

In this matter, Zhuang Youxing can be said to have extinguished hope with his own hands, and people who can't see hope choose to flee the famine. If he could have reported the situation earlier, the court would have reacted earlier!

He also did not withhold the last rice from the mouth of the boss's surname.

Then, the loss of this thing can be reduced.

As long as there is hope for life, ordinary people do not want to become homeless.

And it was Zhuang Youxing who extinguished this last flame of hope.

What's even more strange is that Zhuang Youxing seems to have closed some other passages intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted the people in the river to flee near the divine capital!

"What the hell is this Zhuang Youxing doing?"

Zhou Mi's brows furrowed deeply, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Strictly speaking, Zhuang Youxing did not bend the law for bribes. Although he said that he collected a field tax at an inopportune time, he did not put these things in his pocket.

He seems to be plotting something, step by step, to expand the disaster in the river.

The most important thing is, why did he let these outcasts come to the divine capital? Logically speaking, Shendu is rich, but the officials near Shendu are not so easy to say, once they really find out that there are displaced people, they will definitely be driven away as soon as possible.

Those who fled the famine were the most difficult to enter the Divine Capital.

If you go to other places, you may be able to live a little higher.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Mi took out another piece of music, and launched a deeper investigation into Zhuang Youxing.

However, I found that Zhuang Youxing's circle was very simple, so simple that it was even a little monotonous.

Zhuang Youxing never married, nor did he have any children, and even had few friends, or rather, colleagues who could speak.

The man was silent, especially after going to the river, even more so after going to the river.

There are many officials below who want to curry favor with Zhuang Youxing, but Zhuang Youxing doesn't care about them at all.

Therefore, there will be no corruption in this Zhuang Young Bank.

"That's not right!"

At this time, Zhou Mi took a deep breath, quietly looked at everything in front of him, and after a long time, he took a long breath, and then continued: "Something is wrong!" ”

"From the very beginning, Zhuang Youxing had anticipated these ......"

After all, Zhou Mi has been sitting on this throne for so many years.

A lot of things are already well understood.

Zhuang Youxing seems to have something he wants to do, no wife, no heirs.

That also means that Zhuang Youxing does not have any weaknesses, and he can do everything he wants to do unscrupulously.

In fact, he rarely communicates with his colleagues.

Zhou Mi vaguely felt that everything Zhuang Youxing did was all carefully planned.

In other words, Zhuang Youxing never thought about paying attention to these droughts from the beginning.

The normal drought situation was controlled by him on the basis of a near collapse and the disintegration of people, but in fact, the casualties were not very large.

"What does this person want to do?"

After realizing this, Zhou Mi looked at it seriously again.

He wanted to find some clues in it, what did this Zhuang Youxing want to do? What is his purpose?

It's just that within this movement, Zhou Mi didn't find any useful clues.

"Humph!"

Zhou Mi snorted coldly, and suddenly slapped the fold on the dragon case, with a bit of mockery in his eyes, and after a slight pause, he said: "One by one, what do you think of me?" ”

"Zhuang Youxing!"

"I want to see what the hell you're up to!"

While speaking, Zhou Mi said to the maid beside him: "Go to the Green Garden and call Di Qing to me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When the maid heard this, she nodded hurriedly, with a bit of solemnity in her eyes.

Di Qing is a close minister of Zhou Mi, and he is also a person with outstanding ability, who has helped Zhou Mi do a lot of things over the years.

It can be said that if it weren't for Di Qing, Zhou Mi's throne might not have been able to be so stable.

Nearly half an hour passed!

Di Qing stood in front of Zhou Mi.

Zhou Mi's face was indifferent, and he gently handed the two letters to Di Qing, and then said lightly: "Come and see." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Di Qing knew in his heart that something more important must have happened. Otherwise, Zhou Mi would not have called himself to the palace in such a hurry.

It's just that, after reading these two letters.

Di Qing's brows furrowed deeply.

After pondering for a moment, he continued: "Your Majesty, this Zhuang Youxing, I'm afraid there is a big problem!" ”

"However, his circle should be relatively clean!" Zhou Mi's voice was very soft.

"It's too clean, the water is clear, and there are no fish!" Di Qing added.
