Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 159 lack of heart
But Qiu Zhiqing quickly came to his senses, it was not a question of how he should choose at the moment, but that the villagers had run out of food and could not support the autumn harvest at all.

And sticking to the autumn harvest, it seems that the harvested food has nothing to do with them!
So regardless of how Yang Lie should operate, according to the official situation in the Song Dynasty where the functions of various departments are intertwined and checked and balanced, even if Lai'an County is only sixty miles away from Chuzhou,

Yang Lie could rush back in one night, but the governor of Chuzhou has only jurisdiction and no right of recall. If Wang Zhao is an upright and good official, he is willing to advocate for the people.

It will take a month or two for him to submit a letter to the imperial court, so Qiu Zhiqing decided to help those people get food first, and let's talk about the rest.

Qiu Zhiqing wrote a note and left it at the home of the "leader brother" selected by them. This selected person was also the only one among them who could read.

After finishing his work, Qiu Zhiqing planned to make do with the night on the tree in the distance. The next day, it was just dawn, Qiu Zhiqing had a routine morning class, collected gas, and watched the young and strong in the village begin to gather in the distance.

At this time, a horse suddenly came galloping from a distance, shouting: "Followers, calm down, Wang Zhizhou is about to arrive in person, do justice for you, don't act rashly!"

Say this three times, and rush to the next village without stopping!
At this time, those who heard the words all looked at each other in blank dismay, discussing whether they should continue or not. Some people believed that the world was as dark as speechless, and it was the same whether it was a prefect or a county magistrate.

But some people think that if Zhizhou and Zhixian are the same, then there is no need to care about their life and death, and there is no need to come here to inform them...

In short, if people's hearts are disturbed, it will be difficult to lead the team.Helpless, everyone had no choice but to disband and go back to their homes, waiting for the next news.

Qiu Zhiqing's heart moved, and he planned to follow the Wangzhao Wang Zhizhou to see the situation. He waited beside the official road, and soon after, he saw a group of dozens of people coming in a mighty way holding the government board.

The leaders were all the magistrate's government servants, carrying a small blue sedan chair in the middle, and beside the sedan chair was a middle-aged man riding a horse and carrying a stick.

But from the looks of it, his reputation only sounds good, and he was arrested all the way, so he wanted to be a guard for a magistrate?

But Qiu Zhiqing is already used to it, it was like this in the Song Dynasty, so what if you are a general, even if you become a privy envoy?Donghuamen's roll call is Hao Erlang, even if you become a privy envoy, you are still a bandit in the army!

These are the original words that Wen Yanbo scolded Di Qing back then. He was also the third envoy of the Northern Song Dynasty and one of the highest officials of the Song court. Di Qing dared not refute...

Qiu Zhiqing fell far behind the team. The magistrate of Lai'an County had received news that the magistrate was coming to inspect, so he waited for the magistrate at the south gate early.

When Qiu Zhiqing arrived, Wang Zhao had already been led to the largest restaurant in Lai'an County. Wang Zhizhou was invited to a banquet in the Yunlai Building, and the restaurant was reserved, so Qiu Zhiqing naturally couldn't get in.

I had no choice but to find some fennel beans and blow it on the roof!
The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and the general meaning was that Wang Zhizhou asked the county magistrate to accept it as soon as he saw it. Although the suppression of the rebellion was a great achievement, it was hard to say that the government forced the people to rebel.

It's a pity, but the county magistrate said: The government has forced the people to rebel, and the relief food has been prepared for them. There is absolutely no possibility that this matter will become serious...

The more Qiu Zhiqing listened to it, the more he didn't like it. Why do you feel that both parties have a dispensable attitude towards this kind of matter?

This Wang Zhizhou turned a blind eye to those guys who were blatantly preparing to rebel just because he was afraid of causing trouble too much?And both parties seem to be very familiar with the process.

This caused Qiu Zhiqing to fall into deep thought...

No matter what careful thoughts the magistrate had, in the end under the pressure of Wang Zhizhou, the magistrate finally distributed the relief food originally distributed by the court after more than three months.

But what Qiu Zhiqing didn't expect was that the relief food that the magistrate was talking about was actually the batch of food stored in the Lin family's manor!
The more Qiu Zhiqing thought about it, the more weird he felt. Why did he turn around and go back to the Lin family's manor when it was clearly a disaster relief food, and then released the news that he incited the villagers to grab the food?

Can't figure it out, but want to know the answer, this damn thirst for knowledge made Qiu Zhiqing make a decision!
The magistrate of Lai'an County, surnamed Liu, is a yinbu official with a strong background, so he is also a yinbu official, and he is not afraid of Wang Zhizhou, even so.

But he is still young, and there is absolutely no need to offend Wang Zhizhou, his immediate boss, for a little profit, and tear everyone's face off.

In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, there is not much difference between a Zhizhou and a county magistrate except for the official position. At least Wang Zhizhou wants to get rid of him.

The only way is to submit a letter to the imperial court. At that time, only one of the two will stay in office, and the other will move to the left, that is, demote the official. For the sake of a county magistrate, no one is willing to take their own prefecture!

In one day, one-third of the relief food was distributed, but Wang Zhizhou did not leave. He was afraid that this Liu Zhixian would do something to his son.

Song Yuanyou seven years (1092) June [-]st, next September!

At the right time, Qiu Zhiqing almost fell asleep when he was supposed to sleep, and those who couldn't sleep obviously had something on their minds.

In the back hall of the county yamen, Liu Zhixian, who had just been with Wang Zhizhou for a day, rushed to his study as soon as he came back. At this moment, there was a person waiting for him in the study.

As soon as Liu Zhixian entered the door, he saluted the visitor: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, let Yuanwai wait!"

In Liuzhi County's study is the owner of all the cultivated land in the county, Lin Yuanwai.It is said that in the ancient dynasties, the Eastern Han and Song dynasties were the only ones that could stretch the land to counties.

Other dynasties have limited land annexation, while the Eastern Han and Song dynasties...

Qiu Zhiqing sat cross-legged on a big tree outside the county government office, and continued to steal... to inquire about information, only to hear the forest officer say: "In Liu Zhi County, the floods at the beginning of the year, most of our land was submerged, it can be said to be a heavy loss.

Our family has also spent a lot of money on this operation. The manors outside the city are planning to give up. First of all, Mr. Zhixian, don’t you want to give up halfway? "

"How could it be? It's just to stay out of the way for now. This Wang Zhizhou is not easy to mess with. He is the master who dares to make a move. It's just that we have no real evidence to fall into his hands. Otherwise, we won't be so easy to talk about. After he leaves... "

The more Qiu Zhiqing listened, the more speechless he became. No wonder this forest member was able to buy land in one county of An County and become a landowner in one county because of his character of refusing to take any losses.

Sometimes Qiu Zhiqing really doesn't understand the thoughts of these people. To them, the harvest of this season is just a drop in the bucket, but to the tenants who lease their land, it is their fate!

Under natural disasters, some losses are unavoidable, but even these losses, they have to do everything possible to pass on to the tenants under them.

After listening to it, Qiu Zhiqing understood their operation. It turned out that the Song Dynasty had such a rule that when there was a rebellion under the rule, the magistrates were allowed to decide whether to recruit.

Once the recruitment is successful, it will be a great achievement, and the imperial court will grant due official positions and appropriation money and food according to the scale and severity of the rebellion.

And what they fight is the idea of ​​disaster relief money and rations, appeasement money, and official positions!

To put it simply, it is to withhold the relief food during the flood in advance, and then when they are almost out of food, they send someone to secretly release the news that there is a large amount of food in the manor in the west of the Lin family city.

They also spread rumors everywhere that they would siege the city and be recruited for safety. In this way, they can say that the food for disaster relief is temporarily stored in Zhuangzi, Chengxi, and used in an emergency. This is the default practice and it is also an opportunity for them to act.

At that time, as long as those rioters rob the food inside, don't they have the final say on whether there is more food or less food there?
If there is no proof of death, no one will be able to do anything to them at that time.As for the arrangement of these people, it is fine to arrange them to work or be incorporated into the Xiang army.

They ate the disaster relief food at the beginning of the year, and they can also eat the resettlement funds used to recruit security in the middle of the year, as well as the official positions for resettlement. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
Who knew that the original good plan was ruined by a small chief arrester on Huainan East Road of Liufan Gate. If the general know the state, even if they knew about it, they would not want to take care of it. It's a pity that they met a king Edict...

Qiu Zhiqing was a little puzzled, aren't these guys afraid of playing off?
If Liu Zhixian knew Qiu Zhiqing's thoughts, he would tell Qiu Zhiqing very definitely, no!Not to mention that they themselves instigated it.

Even if someone has unreasonable ambitions and wants to go it alone, as long as they state the conditions of recruitment in front of everyone, the upper and lower layers will basically be separated.

No one will trust anyone, after all, everyone is fighting to death, for what?Isn't it eh, I have enough food, since the officials are satisfied now, so why rebel?

The more Qiu Zhiqing listened, the darker his face became. This...Fusheng...that Infinite Celestial Venerable really couldn't listen.

It just so happened that the person below had also finished their conversation and was about to leave when suddenly his expression turned serious!
The two of them came to the desk and wrote vigorously. After a while, a letter and a memorial were written separately, and the two of them wrote together.

Lin Yuanwai, who was about to leave, did not leave, so the two of them took their books and came to the courtyard of the east chamber, where Wang Chao, the governor of Chuzhou, stayed.

Wang Zhao was supposed to live in the inn, but Wang Zhao was afraid that they would make trouble and give him some ghost tricks such as night raids and arson by mobs, so he asked him to move into the courtyard of the east chamber of the county government office along with the servants he brought with him.

Wang Zhao already sensed the unusualness of the matter, coupled with Yang Lie's report, his heart became even more suspicious, he didn't want to sleep, and was talking with Yang Lie about the things in Lai'an County,

But it was reported by the yamen servant, saying that Liu Zhixian and a member of the Lin family asked to see him...
