The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 454 A Famine in Qu County

Qu County is on the verge of the East China Sea, not the East China Sea in Donghai County, but the real East China Sea, with the big waves.

It takes less than three days to travel from Tan County to Qu County.Of course, Lin Chao brought a lot of brats with him on this trip, and he was driving an ox cart, so he was not in a hurry, so he finally arrived in Qu County until five days later.

The group of people did not rush to the target location. Under Lin Chao's insistence, they first went to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze.

Of course, there are no tourist resorts in this era, and there are no protection measures for watching the sea. The desolation of the seaside is visible to the naked eye.Overgrown with weeds and towering rocks, a group of people couldn't really get close to the sea.

However, this was the first time to see the sea after crossing. Although it was just looking at the flowers in the mist, Supervisor Lin was still very excited, and even climbed up and recited a poem when he was in the mood.

"Adjoining Jieshi in the east, you can see the sea.

Water and water, mountain island.

The trees are overgrown and the grass is lush.

The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.

The journey of the sun and the moon, if out of it;
The stars are brilliant, if they are out of it.

Fortunately, even zai, the song to Yongzhi. "

How should I put it, plagiarism is a thing of the past, the first time is new, and the second time is familiar, especially when the person concerned is not present, Lin Chao feels more at ease.

"Long Shi has good literary talent and good ambition!"

After finishing the poem, Chen Deng, a man of culture, cheered from the sidelines.

This is not flattery, but sincere admiration.After all, Cao Cao's "Guan Canghai" can be regarded as an eternal masterpiece.

Lin Chao waved his hand, saying that there is no need to applaud, it's just basic practice.

Chen Deng stood behind Lin Jianjun. Against the background of this extremely majestic poem, Lin Jianjun's back became more and more majestic in Chen Deng's heart.

This is the boldness that a generation of heroes should have!
Chen Deng was full of admiration, and his heart was full of emotion.

But at this moment, Lin Changshi had another scene in his mind.

Wang Situ, you lived on the coast of the East China Sea for a lifetime, and you were the first to become an official with filial piety and honesty.The crime is serious, and the world will not tolerate it...

Thinking of this, Lin Chao couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhuge Liang behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

Well, I don't know where Wang Situ is now. It would be a pity for such a genius to be exiled outside.

According to the original historical trajectory, Wang Lang should have gone to Xuzhou with Tao Qian to serve as the governor of Xuzhou.But now even Wang Lang's leader, Tao Qian, is staying in Chang'an, so Wang Lang should be in Chang'an as well.

Well, find a chance to send a letter to Li Ru and ask him to send someone to bring Wang Lang over.

When it comes to Wang Lang, one cannot fail to mention Zhong Yao, and this guy cannot be let go.

Although the current Xuzhou system doesn't need him very much, Zhong Yao is a master of calligraphy.For Lin Chao, this aspect still has some strategic significance.

Thinking about it, Lin Chao turned his head and said to Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, after you go back, in the name of XX, write a letter to Chang'an, and ask General Zhang Ji to pay attention to two people for XX."

Chen Deng asked, "Chang Shi, who are these two?"

It is already an open secret internally that Xuzhou has connections with Chang'an.It's just that Li Ru's name cannot be mentioned, so Zhang Ji, who once abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side to help kill Dong thief, can only be used.

"One is Zhong Yuanchang, from the Zhong family in Yingchuan. The other is Wang Jingxing, from our base camp, Tan County, East China Sea."

Chen Deng cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate remembers it."

Lin Chao patted Chen Deng on the shoulder again, and said with a smile, "Yuanlong, if you want to eat fish cakes in the future, try to choose fish from the sea."

Chen Deng: "???"

"What does Chang Shi mean by this?"

"It's literally." Lin Chao spread his hands and smiled.

Since I can't change the habit of eating broken mouths, I should eat sea fish as much as possible, at least I can live for a few more years.

"Let's go, it's time to get down to business."

……

Because Qu County is close to the East China Sea, the water and soil are not very fertile, but the trade and commerce is very developed. This place, which is called Lianyungang in later generations, is an important place for the future development of commerce.

However, at this time, the people in Qu County still mainly cultivated, which has been the normal state of Chinese people for thousands of years.

A month ago, the local officials reported that there was a famine in Qu County, but the scale was not large.At that time Xun Yu was not in Xuzhou, and it was Tian Feng who was in charge of all affairs.

Tian Feng himself has the responsibility of farming, and he is also in charge of Xuzhou's land taxes.

Furthermore, there have been too many famines in the past two years, and they are too normal.Moreover, it was also a time when the crops were not ready, so Tian Feng didn't pay much attention to it. He just ordered the treasury to allocate funds to release grain to solve the living problems of the people.

Don't look at Tian Feng's digging and searching on weekdays, even if he is always willing to spend more money, but it is related to the livelihood of the people, he has never been stingy, and immediately allocated [-] shi for food.

Part of it is used as rations for the people, and part of it is used as seeds for future reclamation.

Lin Chao's policy in governing Xuzhou has always been to teach him how to fish.

When there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, the government will take care of it for you. In those ordinary years, you have to work hard to satisfy your own life, and at the same time, you must pay a penny of taxes.

Although it is not lenient, it is better than fairness.

Originally, this trivial matter just passed away. After all, there were only more than 1 households in Qu County, and it was not a major event that killed 5 to [-] people.

But just half a month after Tian Feng ordered the allocation of grain and grass, Shuntian Prefecture secretly reported that 2000 people died of starvation in Qu County due to famine.

Strangely, the Tan County Government Office did not receive any news.

When there was a famine, food and grass were allocated for disaster relief, but so many people still starved to death, and it was not reported in the end.

If there is nothing tricky in it, even a three-year-old would not believe it.

Lin Chao's trip was to investigate this matter thoroughly.

That's one or two thousand lives!

No matter who is involved in the matter, it is impossible to show mercy outside the law.

The only thing Lin Chao can do now is to secretly pray that there is nothing wrong with Mi Zhu.

Otherwise, even if Liu Bei came forward in person, he would not be able to keep him, as Lin Zichu said.

The ox cart drove for another half a day. Seeing that the sky was getting late and there were no post stations around, when he was about to sleep in the wilderness, he suddenly noticed a few glimmers of light a few miles ahead in the dark. It must be a village.

"Come on, let's go to lodge!"

Lin Chao pointed to the fire in the distance, and said.

If you don't join the people, how can you understand the people's sentiments?
This place has already entered the county seat of Qu, so as long as you put down your identity and talk to the people, you can get a general idea of ​​what happened to the famine a while ago.

In ancient times, the mouth of the people was better than that of Fangchuan. If the instigator could even seal the mouths of the people, then Lin Chao would not dare to enter Qu County alone.It is the best policy to directly send a large army to encircle and suppress.

After another half stick of incense, everyone finally arrived at the place where the fire was seen before.

But the scene in front of him, even Lin Chao, who has gone through bloody battles on the battlefield, also made his heart tense...
