Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 345
The old man stood under the scorching sun, dripping with sweat along the cotton rope of the bamboo hat beside his temples, wetting his clothes.

I have been an official for more than [-] years, and have experienced more than ten disasters, large and small, and epidemic diseases, but I have never seen such a situation that catches people off guard like a hungry tiger.

"The old man has the ambition to clarify the world and save the people. However, there is no half grain of rice in the mansion, and he can only watch the victims starve, and he is helpless against the epidemic."

He wiped away the tears from his face, his old eyes were full of sorrow.

Weakly raising his hand to get the victims kneeling on the ground to stand up, the guards behind him unloaded the grain from the grain cart and put the grain from the bustard together, maintaining order and continuing to distribute it.

Jing Yunyan looked at He Hongji carefully. This is an old magistrate and a maverick official.

At the age of 15, he won the examination, and at the age of 19, he was already a high-spirited Tanhualang.

When I was an editor of the Hanlin Academy, I was diligent and very low-key, but one day I directly handed in a booklet and participated in a book from the Ministry of Industry.

The list of crimes of embezzlement and bribery amounted to seven pages.

Even the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was dumbfounded. Is it okay to join the future father-in-law?

It's not his job
Everyone in the court knows something that needs to be reported. If it was so easy to get involved, they would have killed him a long time ago!

Sure enough, the minister of the Ministry of Industry did not lose a single hair, and editor He was exiled from Beijing and became a bachelor He Zhixian.

There are many mountains in Zhanghong County, where copper mines are produced.

He Hongji, the magistrate of Zhanghong County, does not fish for the common people, but only keeps close contacts with those private mine bullies and local snakes.

Officials and gangsters colluded to get rich, without leaving a penny, and managed all the way to the magistrate.

As soon as he became the magistrate, with a swipe of a pen, he began to crack down on corrupt officials and evil officials, and a steady stream of papers from his colleagues were sent to the capital.

After offending the magistrate, I didn't feel better.

Relegated to other places to continue trying to get other people's black-hearted money, relying on financial resources to pile himself into the magistrate, and then offend his colleagues, even the boss dared to participate in a book.

There are at least twenty or so chief envoys and envoys who have been offended by him.

As a result, he was suppressed in the late period of the previous dynasty so that he could only serve as the magistrate of Bapin County in a small county in Yuchuan, southwest of China.

Until the new emperor Ling Ruixuan came to the throne, he directly promoted him several ranks in a vicious manner, and promoted him to be transferred to the prefect of Fengyu.

"Master Imperial Envoy, Prefect He is a good official!" An old man in the crowd rushed to Jing Yunyan and knelt down, "Caomin is from Yanhui County, Dingxi. When Prefect He was the county magistrate in Yanhui County, he was an official. Incorruptible. There was a severe drought last year, and no one in Yanhui County died of starvation!"

"What a fart!" A furious roar came from a distance, and a middle-aged woman on a donkey ran at the speed of a horse, "Of course you won't starve to death, that's because the food for my sons-in-law's family is scarce." Confiscated!"

Zhifu He, who was still full of pride before, changed his face, and rushed behind Jing Yunyan with a bang, his movements were not at all like an old man.

"Women are so rude in front of the imperial envoy!" He poked his head out and scolded angrily, then immediately shrank back.

"Hmph!" Mrs. He turned over and jumped off the donkey's back, and the donkey lay down on the ground, foaming at the mouth from exhaustion.

"You guys are so talented!" She put her head on her hips, and slapped the guards' heads one by one with one hand, "You guys have dug out such a secret, why don't you become Jinyi guards!"

One of the young guards with a round head and round face covered the back of his head and yelled at the victims: "Don't thank Mrs. He for your righteous deed?"

The disaster victims all responded, Shan Hu congratulated Mrs. Benevolence and righteousness.

Mrs. He's face was livid, and she raised her hand and gave him another slap, "You are an unfilial son, you are your father's lackey! I finally bought some millet, and I brought it all for you!"

"Mom~ don't be angry, I still have a bag~"

"Don't call me mother, I don't have a mother like you! Ah bah! I don't have such an unfilial son! It's all your fault, I'm so confused!"

The victims have long been accustomed to Mrs. He's loud voice. They should line up and receive food. When they pass by her, they sincerely thank her.

They all know that when she gets angry, she gets angry, but she never brings the food back.

Mrs. He is in her early forties, and she still has a charming charm. She is graceful and elegant, but it is hard to hide her heroic demeanor, and she also has a bit of gangster air.

"Mom, this donkey seems to be suffering from heatstroke."

"roll!"

Mrs. He walked up to Jing Yunyan and bowed her hands, "Her Majesty the Imperial Envoy is well!"

Jing Yun said with a smile, "Hi Madam He."

She smiled, ran behind him, grabbed He Zhifu's ears and dragged him out to stand in front of Jing Yunyan, "Master Imperial Envoy, hurry up and get a copy of this old fellow, dismiss him from office, it's best for the whole family to distribute! "

"Oh?" Jing Yunyan raised his eyebrows and almost couldn't hold back his laughter, "Why did you say that?"

"The distribution is good, you don't have to carry the common people on your back! All the valuables in the house have been taken away by their father and son! Anyway, we can't buy food now, so it's better for the whole family to die on the distribution road, so as not to hurt my daughter again!"

Mrs. He became more and more angry as she spoke, and twisted the hand that grabbed He Zhixian's ear.

Poor Magistrate He grinned in pain and still maintained his dignity, not daring to refute at all, after all, what he said was the truth.

Now the merchants in the city would kneel down to him when they saw him enter the shop, weeping bitterly and crying poorly.

The whole city is under martial law, there are no customers, and the goods are backlogged. Life is hard for anyone.

The wealthy landlords and households in the surrounding counties and towns were also hunted down by him.

This year's early rice has not yet been harvested, smallpox broke out in many places under his control, and there are many victims from other provinces, the food shortage is too big.

Rice is already a rare commodity, and the people have to settle for the next best thing, and use other miscellaneous grains as rations.

Zhou Chi folded his arms and leaned against the tree trunk, listening to the surrounding victims whispering about the family affairs in Hezhi County, and suddenly let out a muffled laugh.

This old man is quite interesting, he got married late, Mrs. He is 20 years younger than him.

A literati, or an official, married all three daughters to wealthy gentry families, and took people to his son-in-law's house to fetch food when he was in disaster.

The transfer was far away, and I wrote a letter to ask people to ask the Escort to send food
This Mrs. He is also a wonderful person, she is clearly training her husband, but the voice-over is justifying his name.

"Mrs. He, please let go of the pitiful ears of the master Futai." Zhou Chi took out a two-finger-wide copper stick and flicked it casually, "Good officials are hard to find, and I, Baiyue Yuanjiang Branch, would like to donate five hundred shi Milue did his best."

Shu Yingtong, who was distributing potions to an old woman, raised her eyebrows. The local tyrants are different, donating [-] catties of rice casually.

The copper stick flew over with the golden light of the scorching sun, Madam He raised her hand and grabbed it, looking over and over at the engraving on it with joy, "It's easy to say! Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this old man's ears to be worth hundreds of shi grains."

With red eyes, she glanced around the cheering victims, and slapped her son on the shoulder, "I am happy today, go, kill that heatstroke donkey! Chop it up and make soup, the meat is not enough to fit between the teeth, the broth Always make them drink a bowl!"

"Okay!" Mr. He giggled, turned around and yelled at the other guards, "Go back and carry the cauldron, and then go to my vegetable field to pick all the edible vegetables!"

Madam He paused in the air with her hand that was about to slap him on the head, pursed her lips and put it down again.

Forget it, the donkey gave it all, and those dishes were worth less than the donkey's head.

Five hundred stones of grain, Baiyue will arrive within three days by water.

It was not brought by the imperial court, and it will not be exploited layer by layer.

The people who were suffering and starving were saved.
