Chapter 613 The wind and sand is a bit big (for Lan...)
Liu Mingzhi's face darkened and he squeezed through the crowd towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion and shouted in a voice with internal strength: "Everyone quiet down, talk slowly if you have anything to say!"

The sound already shook the ears of the people nearby, but the shouts of the crowd still did not stop, but became more intense!

"The government has no faith, why did they lie to us when they agreed to change the rice!"

Liu Mingzhi lightly jumped to the front of the yamen of the Governor's Mansion, and looked at Tong Hewu, who stood behind the yamen servants with gloomy faces, and walked over: "What's going on? Why do the people gather here to curse?"

"Lord Liu!"

Seeing Liu Mingzhi, Tong Hewu hurriedly punched him.

"what happened!"

"Lord Liu, they are all here to exchange rice!"

Liu Mingzhi looked seriously at Xing Rong, who was temporarily serving as governor of Qingzhou, "Since you are here to exchange food, give it to the common people!"

Tong Hewu swallowed his saliva: "Master Liu, it's really a trade. Isn't it too much of a joke to exchange locusts for rice? Let alone five catties for one catty of rice, even ten catties for one catty of rice is useless!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Xing Rong, who was lowering his head, and still didn't understand what was going on. He panted and looked at Tong Hewu: "Commander Song!"

"The end is here!"

"Remove Tong Dudu's black hat, dismiss him and investigate!"

"Yes!"

Song Qing did not hesitate to raise Shang Fang's horse-killing sword and stared at Tong Hewu sharply: "Master Tong, you should do it yourself or the commander!"

Tong Hewu opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Mingzhi's expression in disbelief: "Lord Liu, although you are an imperial envoy, your subordinate is a third-rank official who is the governor of a government. You have no right to dismiss a subordinate without going through the joint review of the three divisions. This is not in line with the Great Dragon's law! Even if the Holy One comes in person, a third-rank official cannot be dismissed without reason!"

Liu Mingzhi stared at Tong Hewu closely: "I am ordered to transfer all important military and government affairs in Qingzhou, and I have already ordered that locusts should not be violated in exchange for rice. Whoever allows you to make decisions without exchanging food for the people, you should thank you as a third-rank official, otherwise Today is not a dismissal but an on-the-spot execution, Commander Song, do you still want me to tell you what to do?"

Without hesitation, Song Qing swept away Tong Hewu's black hat with a sword and grabbed it.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Liu Mingzhi's expression changed and he hurried to the big drum next to the door, raised the drumsticks and beat it, the rumbling drum silenced the voices of the people!
The yamen servants who were supposed to maintain the common people saw Tong Hewu who was detained by Song Qing, and his face changed and he was about to charge up with a knife. Therefore, daring to go up to the former is regarded as treason, put down the weapon in your hand!"

At the same time, hundreds of Longwuwei surrounded them with their crossbows in hand: "Put down your weapons!"

A group of yamen servants nervously put down the sabers in their hands when they saw the arrows shining in the cold and dark light, and looked at Liu Mingzhi with embarrassment, filled with fear!

Tong Hewu looked at Liu Mingzhi with crimson faces: "Lord Liu, I respect you because the imperial envoy has always respected you, but don't you think it's too lawless to detain a third-rank official because you disagreed with me?"

"Let's have a word first, dare to disobey the order and cut Lijue, as you said just now, Shangfang Zhanmajian can't kill you, but I will also dismiss you and investigate. If Qingzhou has happened, I will report to the Holy Majesty! Suppress it!"

Song Qing directly held Tong and Wu with a sword and went to the Yamen to guard them!
"History of the Chief Criminal!"

"The subordinate is here!"

"Order the Qingzhou government to guard the government soldiers. Those who do not have the official order will be regarded as treason!"

"This"

"Why, the official's edict to transfer Qingzhou's military and political affairs is not working?"

"Yes, I will obey the order!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at the common people holding various bags below. Everyone didn't pack much. It seemed that he still didn't believe in the locusts in exchange for food. He just caught some and came back.

Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Liu Mingzhi felt a dark fire rise in his heart, which almost made things like Tong and Wu ruined!
"Folks, my official Liu Mingzhi, the imperial envoy for disaster relief, I have met all of you folks!"

"Ah? Imperial Envoy!"

"It's the Imperial Envoy!"

"Meet the imperial envoy!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at the Qingzhou people who were kneeling all over the Yamen Square and hurriedly raised their hands to signal: "Folks, don't be too polite, get up quickly!"

After half a cup of tea, everyone stood up.

"Master Imperial Envoy, you clearly ordered us to catch locusts in exchange for food. We risked being punished by God to catch locusts, but why did your government go back on its word!"

"That's right, you just gave us a good bowl of porridge and then broke your promise. You really don't treat us ordinary people as human beings!"

"Folks, please listen to me. I didn't say that I would not change the food, and I will change it immediately, but the folks, can you listen to me first?"

It seemed that what Liu Mingzhi said was true and sincere, and the people were willing to believe the imperial envoy who made them drink a bowl of thin porridge. Tens of thousands of people were looking at Liu Mingzhi eagerly!
"Folks, let's spread the word to each other, can it be done without crowding after the food is moved out?"

After discussing for a while, a loud voice sounded out: "Yes!"

"Everyone consciously arrange the order. Also, please understand that food is limited now. Today, each person can only exchange five catties of food. Try to distribute the existing food to everyone. Do you agree?"

It was quiet for a long time before shouting in unison: "It can be done!"

Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the simple people, he was afraid that there would be chaos due to the uneven distribution, and he only wanted a bite of food, why couldn't the officials of Qingzhou government do it!

"Quietly line up!"

Although the tens of thousands of people stood in an orderly manner, at least there was no congestion, but there was an empty aisle in the middle!

"Jiang Lei!"

"The end is here!"

"Call all the accountants in Qingzhou, and then five hundred soldiers will transport all the [-] shi of grain we brought to the Yamen and pile it up!"

"Yes!"

It was already getting late, but the people below were neither loud nor noisy, they all looked eagerly at Liu Mingzhi standing in front of the yamen and instructing the accountant to place the position!

"The steelyard must be fair. Ten steelyards are your conscience, you know!"

"Follow the order!"

Liu Mingzhi glanced at the last ox cart leaving the mountain of grain and heaved a sigh of relief: "Jiang Lei, have all the grain arrived?"

"More than half of it has been shipped, and if I ship any more, I won't be able to let it go!"

"That's right, there's not enough food for one day today, so keep it while you're at it, let's let the common people survive with the food in the Qingzhou government treasury first, after the people feel at ease, it's time to deal with all the people on record in the locust disaster in Qingzhou government! "

"My lord still thinks that Qingzhou Mansion is tricky?"

"It's tricky? It's more than just tricky! Just look at it, Qingzhou Mansion must be shaken up, and there may be a big reshuffle, this is my intuition!"

"The last general will just follow orders!"

Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath and looked at the calm and earnest Qingzhou people below who were holding up all kinds of cloth bags and felt sad: "I kept the folks waiting for a long time!"

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at the people of Qingzhou who suddenly knelt neatly and even cried, and faintly heard many crying men with dry throats. He just did what he should do, and he should not be so grateful to them!

He slammed the gong in his hand: "The food exchange begins!"

"Wang Gouzi, locusts are six catties and seven taels, and rice is one catty and twenty five!"

"Feng Laobu, the locusts are four catties, and you can exchange one catty of rice!"

"."

Liu Mingzhi looked at every commoner who changed food, hugged tightly in his arms and left with tears in his eyes, and walked towards the mansion with his mouth pursed.

The wind and sand is a bit big, and the eyes always get into the sand!
