After the enthronement ceremony, everything was arranged, and Li Miao quietly participated in the military reclamation on the outskirts of the imperial capital as an ordinary person. Jizhou is located in the Central Plains, after the summer solstice, the heat is unbearable, there is a poem as evidence: the wheel of fire is gradually wandering in the summer, and the summer is nine days old overnight;

With the joint efforts of everyone, a batch of grain seeds was urgently transferred from the north, and 100,000 people worked day and night, and finally caught up with the agricultural time. At this time, the rice has been jointed, and the endless fields are full of green seedlings, like a sea of green. Xinchen raised his arm and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and looked at this sea of life with a hoe, revealing a heartfelt smile.

I saw that he was naked, like other big men, his originally fair skin had already become tanned, and his arms were thicker than before after these days of non-stop labor.

At this moment, a loud voice sounded: "Eat! Eat!"

Everyone in the field threw down their hoes and ran towards the ridges, and Xinchen also put down the hoes and walked over unhurriedly. On the ridge of the field, an old man and a young man drove the ox cart towards the people, and the old man with white beard and white hair, holding a whip in one hand and putting the other hand in front of his mouth, was shouting loudly. Sitting next to Lao Suo was a stunning girl, and when the ox cart stopped, the girl jumped off the ox cart quickly, and unloaded the nest head of the whole car on the ridge with Lao Suo. Everyone lined up, received their rations, and went to find a place to rest.

After everyone left, Xinchen came over leisurely and asked, "Old Chen, how did that thing go?"

It turned out that the old man was Chen Zhi, who was sending food to discuss with Xinchen about the trial of the new policy in Yizhou. Chen Zhi handed over a nest head and replied: "It is even more difficult than expected, although there are 100,000 troops outside the imperial capital, but the local officials headed by Jizhou Governor Yin are Yang Fengyin and disobey, and Heshuo is overwhelmed with maneuvering between them. ”

Xinchen took the head of the nest and gnawed on it, and asked the girl next to Chen Zhi: "Miao'er, how long can our food last?"

Li Miao replied with a worried face: "The local magnates in Jizhou have donated only a drop in the bucket, and the main thing we use now is the grain that Cheng Lao transported from the north, at most for another ten days and a half months, these 100,000 people are afraid to go hungry." ”

Xinchen frowned slightly, and said: "These 100,000 people voluntarily left their homes and businesses to come here in response to our call to come to the army reclamation, no matter what, they must ensure the minimum provisions, can you think of other ways?"

Chen Zhi hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's not that there is no way, but it is a little difficult to implement..."

As he spoke, Xinchen had already finished gnawing a nest, clapped his hands, and asked, "Old Chen, do you mean forcibly expropriating the private warehouse of the state capital?"

Chen Zhi replied: "Yes, but not only the state capital, but also the private warehouses of powerful people from all over the country. ”

Xinchen pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, and said: "Miao'er, 10,000 elite soldiers from the Cong army will be transferred from the army, and immediately start to forcibly requisition private warehouses in Jizhou, if there is any disobedience, behead!"

This method is too rigid, but at this point, it has to be like this. Li Miao and Chen Zhide ordered the troops to start counting from the treasury in the imperial capital. This inventory really stunned the two of them, the treasury was full of all kinds of rare treasures, and there were dozens of hoards of grain, enough for the army on the outskirts of the city to eat for several months. When the warehouse was opened, there was a strong musty smell coming out, and it seemed that these grains had not been taken care of for a long time, and they were moldy!

Chen Zhi was furious when he saw this, and those people in the city could only feed on swill, and the government treasury allowed a large amount of grain to become moldy, but he was reluctant to supply the hungry people, and shouted to Jizhou Governor Yin: "Sentence gluttony, where is your conscience? Would you rather the grain rot in the government warehouse than help the hungry people?"

Yin Ju Tao of Jizhou Mansion looked at this former subordinate official, but now he is the most relied on important minister of His Majesty today, he trembled with fright, and begged in a low voice: "Old Chen, for the sake of the sake of the work we have worked together, spare me this time." The grain has long been moldy, and I don't dare to take it out. “

Chen Zhi didn't want to make things too stiff, so his tone softened a little, and said, "Then you are responsible for clearing these grains out of the warehouse to dry, and opening a porridge shed to relieve the hungry." Ju Yulian claimed that it was, and Chen Zhi led everyone to other places.

It wasn't until sunset that the stars were scarce, and Xinchen finished his work and returned to Chen Zhi's house in the imperial capital. Chen Zhi and Li Miao have also returned, and they are cooking gruel and waiting for Xinchen to come back and eat together. The three of them sat around the table, and although there was only a bowl of porridge, they ate very sweetly. While eating porridge, while talking about what happened in the warehouse today, Xinchen was also indignant when he heard what Chen Zhi said, and he was really greedy than gluttony!

While the three of them were gossiping, Xinchen suddenly felt a murderous aura covering the courtyard, and immediately blew out the oil lamp. Li Miao also felt that he got up and looked out of the door, only to see a black cloud suddenly rise in the sky, covering the originally bright night moon tightly, and the courtyard was instantly pitch black. The two flew out of the house, and just disappeared in the corner of the courtyard, they saw a team of centaurs wearing night clothes sneaking over the wall into the courtyard!
