My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 612 Relief for Work
Liu Mingzhi frowned into a line: "Chang Yunfeng also disappeared?"

Song Qing nodded sullenly: "We witnessed Chang Yunfeng dispose of Tongcai, the steward of the governor's mansion, in the disaster camp. It seemed as if he had evaporated from the world overnight. What a fucking hell!"

Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath: "I don't know if I've seen ghosts or not, there must be someone playing tricks. I've already said that it's not so easy for the White Lotus Sect to flee without fighting. What's going on!"

"Let's put these things aside first. The most important thing is disaster relief. As long as the people are appeased and the locust plague is dealt with, it doesn't matter to let other trivial matters go. After all, our top priority is to deal with the locust plague!"

Liu Mingzhi nodded helplessly: "At this point, we can only deal with the locust plague first. Have the people who went to Dingzhou to pass on the Dingzhou governor come back?"

"I guess it will only take a day's journey to ride a fast horse. Have you arranged for the locust plague? When I came back, why did I see many yellow-faced and emaciated victims leaving the city gate with sacks?"

Liu Mingzhi looked happy: "Really? Is there a lot?"

"It's not a lot. These people look hesitant. At most, there are about a thousand people. What are they doing out of the city with sacks?"

"Catch locusts for food!"

"Catch locusts. Catch locusts?" Song Qing shouted suddenly and immediately lowered his voice and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a serious expression: "You are crazy, you are not afraid of being punished by God if you order to catch locusts!"

Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you don't tell me, I forgot, ordered Longwuwei to draw out 1000 people dressed up as ordinary people to mix into the crowd, and anyone who dares to deceive the crowd to catch locusts for food will be directly detained!"

"you sure?"

"Definitely, those who dare to resist will rectify the law on the spot, act in a hurry, and use heavy codes in troubled times. We can't let these locusts that harm the people's crops go to waste. Mosquito legs are also meat, not to mention the overwhelming locusts. Maybe even food will be saved. Already!"

Song Qing looked at Liu Mingzhi blankly: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, you will understand later, Qiao Changjing and Chang Yunfeng disappeared too strangely, could it be that Chang Yunfeng was really the one who transported the grain out of the city the night before? Since it was him, why did he transport the grain outside the city? Brother, what do you think of Chang Yunfeng?"

"People are so close to each other, who can say that they can judge whether a person is good or bad after meeting once!"

"Hey, the situation in Qingzhou is getting more and more confusing. It seems that someone deliberately lured us to another place! Let's go and meet Gu Zhiheng's family!"

"All right!"

"Jiang Lei, is Gu Zhiheng's family here?"

Jiang Lei shook his head slightly: "Except for some servant girls, there are no relatives related to Gu Zhiheng in the governor's mansion. This guy should have sent his family away long ago!"

"This is to break all the clues for me. If I don't believe it, I have to investigate! Go to Gu Zhiheng's study!"

"Yes!"

Song Qing drew out the horizontal knife at his waist to lead the way, carefully guarding against the situation in the backyard of the governor's mansion.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the unlocked study room, pushed it lightly, walked in, took a look at the spotless study room, walked to the desk case and bookshelf, and started looking.

After half a day, Liu Mingzhi sighed regretfully, except for some books and irrelevant letters, there was nothing useful in the whole study room!

Throwing the book in his hand on the table, Liu Mingzhi frowned.

kindness?
Liu Mingzhi looked at a piece of rice paper pressed under the inkstone and was a little puzzled. He gently lifted the rice paper and looked at it: "Why is the character on this rice paper so weird! It's written vertically!"

"Pfft."

Liu Mingzhi put down the rice paper and looked at Song Qing and Jiang Lei who were covering their mouths and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"

Song Qing pointed to a plaque in the atrium of the study and laughed: "Third brother, look, my lord, this Gu Zhiheng looks like an illiterate and arty stupid official at first glance. Look at this plaque, not to mention the boxy ones. , there is only one word for Grain, who’s study uses such a plaque to put it in the study, the most important thing is that the last stroke of Grain is engraved wrongly, and the direction is reversed!"

Liu Mingzhi also got up and looked at the plaque in front of him curiously and shook his head: "Perhaps this Mr. Gu has a different hobby!"

"But this is too different!"

"Don't worry about these, go to the disaster camp to see the situation of the people on the street first!"

A group of people strolled on the street, and Liu Mingzhi couldn't help being secretly happy when he saw more and more people going out of the city with all kinds of cloth bags.

Disaster relief, if you don't help yourself, the court will squander it no matter how much money you have!

"Hey, do you say that five catties of locusts can really be exchanged for one catty of rice? The government is not lying, is it?"

"This is an order from the new imperial envoy, not an order from Dudu Tong!"

"Hey, I'm afraid that when the locusts are really caught, the government will renege on the debt. If the rice can't be exchanged, it will offend the locust god. The imperial envoy pats his butt and leaves. What will we poor people do!"

"It's better to believe it or not. What if it can be exchanged for rice? Look at the people who are out of the city on this street. What if they go late and get replaced?"

"It's true. Don't forget that we just came out of eating porridge. Think about when the disaster camp had so much porridge, and when did you let us out of the disaster camp? I wonder if the imperial envoy is right? Will lie to us bitter haha!"

"Third brother, don't you really plan to exchange one catty of rice for five catties of locusts? Why do we need so many locusts? Let the people expel the locusts. Why bother arresting them?"

"It has to be like this. The people have to save themselves. Not only do they have to catch locusts, but they also have to plow the land and use their work for relief. If they are full, lying there and sleeping is no different from sitting and eating. The people must be able to change their lives by themselves. the predicament!"

"Arable land? What are you doing with the arable land at this time? You can't grow anything anymore!"

"Not necessarily, let's try growing wheat, maybe there will be unexpected harvest?"

"It's unexpected. Maybe they all froze to death. The common people don't know much more than you. Isn't it a joke to grow wheat in winter?"

"Then what should we do? Do we rely entirely on the government's disaster relief food? Do we just stay at home to eat and drink this season? Although this can demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of the court, it is digging our own grave, and we have to change our thinking about disasters. We have to rely on the imperial court to support us, a court in Qingzhou Prefecture can support us, if there are too many days, can the imperial court still support us? If we want to survive, we must be self-sufficient!"

"Let's go, let's go and see what's going on in front of the Dudu's Mansion! As long as the common people see someone who can exchange for food, they will scramble to catch locusts. Food is the most important food for the people. Compared with the locust god, food is the biggest. , take a look, when the time comes, it is still uncertain who will be the disaster!"

Liu Mingzhi and his party, who were slowly walking towards the Dudu's Mansion, saw the crowds of people in front of the Dudu's Mansion shouting and frowning!

"If you don't keep your word, we want to change rice!"

"We want to change rice!"

"Change rice!"
