Chapter 336: Omen of Locusts

Driving in the middle of the night, the protective armor guards from time to time vigilantly watched, and could not walk thirty miles in one night, for a long time, the vast sky dome, there were layers of early glow, and there were also curling smoke at the farmer's place.

"It's dawn!" As the morning sun gradually rose and the morning light sprinkled, a few soldiers in the car also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these men are well-trained and often carnivorous, and can see at night, they must be careful not to bump into adults, but they are always more reassuring to be able to walk during the day.

The driver has changed, because he didn't plan to rest at night, and the result was that in the early morning, the original driver went to the car to make up for sleep, and the rest of the people changed shifts and continued to hurry.

Su Ziji was in a good state all the way, and when he saw that Cen Rubai was sleepy, he deliberately made more space for him to curl up in the carriage and sleep, leaning on the carriage by himself, closing his eyes and recuperating himself, and silently reciting the Dragon Palace chess game.

Reading a chapter, the Panlong Mind Method circulates in the body for a week, and the compulsive growth of experience is enough to dispel this short-distance fatigue, which is very stable, but when the car shook and Cen Rubai woke up, he saw that the son, who should have been more tired than himself, was picking up the curtain and looking at the sky outside with a solemn expression.

Cen Rubai also looked out, looking at the swarm of insects whistling and flying in the air, he was stunned at first, and then he didn't have a smile on his face, and a trace of surprise flashed between his eyebrows: "This is a locust?"

"It's locusts, not many, but it's not a good omen. ”

It takes tens of thousands, 100,000, millions, tens of millions of locusts to create a locust plague, and now the impact is very small, but after Su Ziji finished speaking, his eyes fell on the field, and his heart was heavy.

"The locust plague is either in May or June, or before the autumn harvest, and once it rises, there is often no way to prevent it, and now the locust plague is not harvested, and the grain is eaten by these locusts, if you want to replant, you have to squeeze out the seeds from the already small rations. ”

"There was a famine this year. ”

The official road is lined with farmland on both sides, and in this season, it is a place of life, but because of these insects in the air, it is clouded with a layer of haze.

The sun was now out, but it was just dawn, but there were already some farmers in the fields bending over, beating the locusts little by little.

Although the farmer often watched the locusts fly by in despair and anguish as he stood up on his back, there was nothing he could do but continue this behavior of not knowing how much he would gain.

Cen Rubai was still saying: "Actually, there are not many locusts at the moment, and there are too many of them, so that there is really no grass growing in transit." ”

"The flood has already caused great losses to the people of this province, and if there is another locust plague, I am afraid that the people in the province will have no hope, and it is easy to breed trouble. ”

In fact, this is quite light, and the real flood will be followed by a locust plague, and I am afraid that there will be chaos.

Su Ziji's expression was serious, he naturally knew that this locust plague was terrible, and the despair it brought to people was devastating, and he really had to find a way to do it.

"What do you think about the matter of Shun'an Mansion?" Su Ziji asked Cen Rubai after lowering the curtain.

Cen Rubai pointed out the two problems of Shun'an Mansion now: "There was a deficit of one problem, a deficit of 700,000 taels, and now the imperial court has investigated the former officials, but this investigation will not help the matter in front of them, and it must be solved." ”

"Now it seems that we have to add locust prevention to this. ”

Seeing that Su Ziji's expression was not good-looking, he comforted again: "However, this is all the trouble caused by the former official, and it is none of your business." ”

"It's naturally good to be able to solve this matter, but if you can't solve it, you can't blame you. ”

That is not to say, if you encounter and blow up a thunder in office, even if you don't have a big responsibility, you have a small blame, especially for a new official, it is even more of a blow.

And with such an idea, he didn't make an inch, and he just returned to Beijing in disgrace, and it was not himself.

Su Ziji just nodded and smiled, thinking about it in his heart.

When he finally walked through this road and there were three forks in front of him, Su Ziji changed his mind and ordered: "Don't go in the direction of Fucheng first, change the route to another place." ”

Seeing that the armor soldier obeyed the order, he said to Cen Rubai: "We set off along the waterway by the official ship of the Qincha, and the journey is very fast, and now there is still half a month before the date of taking office stipulated in the holy decree. ”

"Now that I have gone to Shun'an Province, there is no way to solve the problem immediately, I think there is no need to rush to take up the post, it is better for us to go to the counties first to see how the situation is. ”

Cen Rubai agreed: "First observe the people's feelings, know in your heart, and wait for the news of my friends in the rivers and lakes, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!"

In this way, no matter whether you advance or retreat, you are calm and unhurried, and the son can be described as an old man. ”

Su Ziji smiled and didn't speak, now, Zhang Sui should return to the Qincha ship, right?

If it weren't for the real hammer, why would he pull this person in? And he is an eight-rank official, although he has upgraded Wenxin Carving Dragon, I don't know how much impact it can have?

Hearing this, how did Chincha Luo Pei react?

Wharf Chincha fleet

This wharf is two miles away from the county seat, although it is not the most prosperous place, but it also forms a street, there are many merchants, otherwise, it is difficult to replenish the materials on the fleet.

At this time, Zhang Sui, who rushed to the dock by taking a shortcut, just when the morning sun was rising, squinted at the river and gently patted the side of the boat, and saw the county order at the receiving official pavilion bowing respectfully, and the armor between the flags on the Qincha boat was lined up, but he knew that after the farewell gift, he was about to set off.

Although he was ready to leave, he hadn't left yet, and Zhang Sui almost cried: "Finally caught up." ”

"Hugh has to set off, let me get on the boat, I'm Zhang Sui. Zhang Sui shouted, not only was the Qincha boat surprised, but even the county magistrate who stood up straight was surprised.

No matter how surprised the county order, Zhang Sui is the eighth grade, there are people who know him on the ship, and the bridge board has not been pumped for a while, so that Zhang Sui, who was relieved to catch up, finally jumped onto the deck of the Qincha: "Please go and tell Lord Qincha quickly, just say that I have something urgent to see." ”

"It's easy, what's wrong with you, you're so embarrassed, and you're injured?" An acquaintance official, on the one hand, sent someone to tell him, and on the other hand, he saw that his shoulders were dyed red, and he was obviously injured, so he couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Sui was as if his scars had been revealed, and suddenly he was sad: "Hey, don't ask, I almost won't see you!"

Thinking that he would make friends with a few guards, after all, these people are all children of pro-army generals, and they will definitely have an official body in the future, at this time, the gap between civil and military is not too big, and there is value in making friends.

I didn't want these guards to call themselves brothers and sisters, and they wanted to kill themselves in the blink of an eye, and the small flame that was already in his chest jumped up and burned into a raging rage.

Although he found an excuse to come back because he was cautious and afraid of things, and although he did the assassination of Hui Qincha, he didn't want to get involved in this muddy pond, and he was worried that he would be set on fire.

But now, thinking that his little life was almost removed at will, Zhang Sui only felt an inexplicable flame rise, and immediately changed his mind.
