Chapter 2462

There are some evils in Shandong, which Xie Jin said.

He said that Shandong is close to the sea, but drought happens every so often, which is almost the same as Shaanxi.

The first spring rain in Jinan this year came late.

In the chief envoy's Yamen, Chang Yu and Qian Hui stood in front of the hall and looked at the sky with a worried face.

"The spring rain is late!"

Chang Yu said anxiously, "another drought. I'm afraid I can't see the taxes in Shandong this year!"

Qian Hui knew his heart knot. He was worried that there would be no promotion at that time.

But he's waiting, too!

If Chang Yu flies to the capital, he is very sure to take over Chang Yu's position and become the first civil servant in Shandong.

"My Lord, the family has been very low-key recently. If there is a drought this year, be careful of land annexation!"

Qian Hui's voice was low, with some admonition.

Chang Yu turned around with a negative hand and sighed: "Jin Youzi is here and Yan Dajian is here. Fang woke up and didn't know when to come back. I'm afraid Shandong won't live in peace this year. I just hope..."

His lips wriggled, but he didn't say his hope.

Qian Hui nodded and said, "it should not be. The family has been very low-key in recent years. Last year, his majesty also gave a decree to praise."

Chang Yu said reluctantly, "Your Majesty, that's comforting the gentry, but there are so many gentry. Where can you care about them one by one? I'll take his house as a memorial archway."

Qian Hui said with a smile, "whether the memorial archway is deep-rooted or not, your majesty should not easily move his family. Of course, if his family doesn't know the interests and has to get involved in local affairs, it's too ugly to eat... Your Majesty's temperament is uncertain."

Chang Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "what I'm worried about is that Fang Xing. Think about that year... The wall collapsed."

Qian Hui was surprised and then smiled.

Both of them thought of the trick that was almost a prank. Afterwards, it was useless for the family to stomp and scold. Zhu Di didn't respond.

This shows that the Royal attitude towards the family is really similar to the archway.

The memorial archway should be erected, but beware of its ambition.

So after Zhu Di didn't respond, the family was very alert and began to hibernate.

This is something that has been handed down for many years. It is most effective to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. No one else can learn it.

"My Lord, Lord Jin, they are back."

Jin Youzi came in wearing a hat. When he saw Chang Yu and Qian Hui in front of the hall, he said, "I went down to have a look. It may be dry this year. All localities should pay attention to it. Ditches should be cleaned up and wells should be drilled."

This is a bit noisy, but Chang Yu and his wife don't care.

"It means some drought. I went to the countryside to ask the old farmer yesterday and said it was, but it should not be severe."

The three entered the lobby and sat down. Then Yan Dajian came.

"The situation is not very good. The people are worried about this year's harvest. The lower official asked several grain stores, and they are also watching."

Jin Youzi said coldly, "what are you waiting for? Not to mention the granaries in Shandong, the food stored around the capital is more than enough to feed the people in Shandong. But..."

Jin Youzi's eyes were more fierce and said, "it's time to check the granaries everywhere."

Chang Yu said, "I'll arrange it right away."

……

Qingzhou Fucheng has a long spring rain.

The drizzle fell on the field and only wetted a thin layer, but it was not enough to ensure farming.

Many farmers stood in the field. Someone dug up some soil and said in disappointment, "not enough!"

Everyone is looking up at the sky, hoping that the spring rain will change from wisps to torrential rain.

"Thief, my God! Even a flood is better than a drought!"

"Forget it, at least you can cultivate it. Keep an eye on it."

An old man was persuading, "which family doesn't have grain in their home? Stop it. The government will come to check it later."

"Check it out! There was a drought in Texas a few days ago. More than 1000 people were flustered when they ate their old money. They didn't see any news from the government. Instead, the gentry gave some food."

"Well, I also know this. Those gentry didn't fall behind in building bridges and roads in the past, but now the fields have been taken back, and their life is not easy!"

"But what about our days?"

When the old man heard that the young people were dissatisfied with the gentry's experience, he scolded: "Your Majesty has also reduced the grain tax by 10% this year. Why don't you praise it?"

Those young people felt embarrassed when they heard it. Someone said, "but it's a grain tax exemption for those who can't finish eating."

The old man took off his hemp shoes and rushed to the young man who was talking.

The young man is his younger generation. Seeing his ferocity, he turned and ran away.

They ran and chased one by one, and the people on the side were laughing until a group of knights came slowly.

Fang woke up and saw the fighting. He dismounted and went into the field, reached out to touch the soil, got up and said, "there is little rain this year. Why doesn't Qingzhou Prefecture come out and organize the people to save themselves?"

No one answered this question. When the people saw that Fang woke up and the party were thinking about the soil, someone whispered, "did your majesty send someone down to see it?"

Although they sympathized with the gentry, it was because of interests.

The emperor, who has reduced the grain tax by 10% this year, also supports it.

Yes, just like faith, the Chinese people are always fraternal.

Fang Xing patted his hands and walked over, and the farmers immediately began to gather.

This is alert.

Fang Xing asked with a smile, "I'm afraid I can't reach the field to quench my thirst. Everyone didn't draw water to dig a well?"

No one spoke to him, and Fang woke up without embarrassment. He said to himself, "I just came from Jinan. The local government is organizing the people to build canals and funding someone to help the people dig wells!"

The old man finally couldn't help asking, "dare you ask the noble man, is the government really in charge of Jinan?"

Fang woke up and said, "take care of it and pay for food."

Fang Xing is not only worried about the people making trouble, because most people now have surplus food, which is far from the level of famine.

He would rather see the performance of the local government.

The old man was dissatisfied and said, "no! The local government sent some small officials down to have a look. They said they were looking back to find a way. They thought that no one was coming now."

Fang woke up, nodded and walked out of the field.

"Bah! This is to entertain grandpa!"

A young man saw that Fang woke up calmly, but he looked like an ordinary businessman. He felt that he was shocked by him just now, which was not worth it.

The sound was not loud. Fang woke up and didn't hear it.

After he got on the horse, he looked back at these farmers and said, "don't worry, but where there are officials, people won't starve to death in the future."

A group of farmers watched Fang Xing and others go away. Someone scolded: "what are you pretending to be? What bullshit government! Which time can you see them in an accident?"

"Dog! If it hadn't been on the side of the road, we could have killed them just now."

The eyes of honest farmers became more and more ferocious.

When the world is in chaos, what shit rules, what shit laws, kill them.

Along the way, Fang woke up and saw a faint numbness.

The drought is not serious, and the food price is not high, so there is no need to worry about starvation.

But the emperor will exempt the grain tax this year. Everyone is looking forward to a good day.

The emergence of drought is like pouring cold water on this expectation.

……

There are two big granaries in Qingzhou Prefecture. The inspection was much less during the last drought, and then the heads fell to the ground one after another.

After that, Shandong can be regarded as a God's favor. Although there are some small disasters and difficulties from time to time, there has never been a gap in grain.

So Bai Qing was very lazy. The sun was warm on his body. He sat in the porter and dozed off.

He vaguely heard the sound of horses' hoofs, but he was too lazy to open his eyes.

Daming is not short of food now, the Japanese pirates have disappeared, and the believers of Maitreya have gone home because they can eat enough

So the sergeants guarding the granary were lazy in the barracks.

Boom!

There was a loud noise in the direction of the gate. Bai Qing looked up vaguely and saw that the gate had flown in.

A group of cavalry rushed in.

"You... Who are you?"
