Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 620 The Stubborn Shi Renji
Shi Renji is indeed a happy man, he said what he did, after lunch with Wei Zheng, he went to the main hall to hand over the seal to Chang Shi, and asked him to take the post of governor to handle all the government affairs of Ningzhou, and then He came back very coolly and asked them where they were going.

There is a word called "returning one's heart like an arrow", Dou Kuan didn't know if it was suitable for Wei Zheng, he didn't even stay in the inn, he kept urging him to Chang'an, he didn't know how to return it to his mother-in-law. Zhu is going to have a baby!
Chang'an, Dali Temple Prison, Shi Renji was wearing a dirty green official robe, lying on the haystack with his legs crossed, humming a ditty with a piece of grass in his mouth.Just when he was about to fall asleep, the iron chain outside the door was opened, and Dou Kuan, who was wearing casual clothes, walked in with an evil smile on his face.

"Leling County Marquis, let's go, you should go out!"

"Where are you going? You have to wait until three quarters in the afternoon when you are on a red mission. The hall for the next official has not yet passed. Why, Wei Zheng has covered the sky with one hand in the court hall. You don't need to go to court or ask for an order to kill a governor?"

"Arguing? All right, then we have to prepare!" After smiling, Dou Kuan sat down on his own.

"It's none of my business to go to court. The lower officials are trading grain for rotten millet, but it's different from that old bastard Wei Ting. As for the servants, they can judge them whatever they think! We are not the ones begging for mercy."

"Okay, you kid is so brave, you dare to feed rat meat to the prime minister of the dynasty, it's not so surprising if you do something unexpected, in the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty, you are absolutely the only one with boldness!", Chong After Shi Renji stretched out his thumb, Dou Kuan clapped his hands, and the yamen servant at the side brought in a set of casual clothes.

"Come on, go with me to meet a nobleman, look at your dirty appearance, it's too indecent." After speaking, Dou Kuan even covered his nose with his sleeve, the hygienic conditions in Dali Temple are too poor Well, good people stay here for a few days, it's like they're fleeing famine.

kindness?What does this Dou Shangshu mean?This is the prison of Dali Temple, okay?Besides, if he is judged not guilty, wouldn't it be more convenient to issue a document to release him directly, why do all these fancy things!

Especially when meeting noble people, what kind of noble people are there? The laws of the Tang Dynasty have a saying of discussing relatives and nobles, but for a county lord like myself who has no connections in the court, he can't point out much better at all.

Confused, Shi Renji was led to a noodle stall in the West Market. Except for a simple-looking noodle stall owner, he was a young man with a phoenix eye. There were no noble people there.However, this young man looked very familiar. Shi Renji, who hadn't been back to Chang'an for many years, really couldn't remember seeing him there.

"Come on, sit down!" The young man beckoned to Shi Renji, and then ordered the noodle stall to serve him and Dou Kuan two bowls of noodles.

"Shi Renji, the second son of Shi Danai, the general who first assisted the state, was awarded the Marquis of Leling County by his father in May of the third year of Zhenguan. Yue was transferred to the governor of Ningzhou. Shi Renji, you are a grain official, so you naturally know the difference between good grain and rotten grain, can you tell me why you did this?"

Hearing the young man make his resume so clear, Shi Renji's heart skipped a beat. No one who is an official knows what kind of yamen the Dushui Supervisor and the Internal Guard are, but what he committed is not a crime of rebellion. , How did you get out of these guys who eat people and don't spit out their bones? What the hell, they want to punish themselves on the street!

Therefore, Shi Renji, who was angry, said with disdain: "I am very pleased to be able to find rich people who can replace good food with rotten millet and forage. This shows that I have not done nothing in Ningzhou in the past few years. There are still some thin noodles!"

After eating a few mouthfuls of noodles, Shi Renji continued: "Do you not understand that this official wasted public funds, almost delayed the spring plowing, and humiliated the prime minister, so he dared to be so arrogant, not as trembling as most officials?"

After hearing the young man on the opposite side say "please enlighten me", Shi Renji settled a bill for him and Dou Kuan, and poured out his own grievances. What else can't be said, I will talk about it first!

In Ningzhou, Shi Renji's policy is to exchange one catty of good grain for five catties of rotten millet, which means that the grain that could have saved one person's life can now save five lives.That's right, these stinking rotten grains are usually fed to livestock, but are hungry people still human?
Dying people who are about to starve to death are not human beings, they are beasts in the shape of human beings, that is animals, as long as they can survive, any good food or rotten grains are good things.Grass roots, bark, dead dogs, bugs, as long as they can be stuffed into the stomach, there are so many taboos!

Don’t you think it’s shocking, don’t tell me, there’s more in the back. You all eat the imperial food, and when you walk there, you’re all rushing forward and back. What you see is what the magistrates want you to see. As for those horns You will never think of the dirty things in the corner.

When I saw that the official exchanged the subsidy for spring plowing for rotten millet, I thought I was a corrupt official, and then held the broken book written by Kong Lao Er in the yamen and scolded me severely!Have you ever seen a person who eats Guanyin soil and swells himself to death?Have you ever seen that all the trees in the Thousand Miles Plain have no bark?

Okay, even if you haven't seen it, you must have heard of the term "changing children and eating"!Of course, it’s all written in this book, and you must have learned it all.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Nanyang king, didn't his army feed on people?The same is true for hungry people.

I have indeed seen it with my own eyes. It is also very particular about changing the food for the children. My own children are raised with feces and urine, and they are reluctant to eat, so they can only exchange food with their neighbors. Let me tell you that is so A heap of meat in the pot!

Ningzhou is under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, and [-]% of the land there is owned by the king of Wei and the noble gentry. They don't need to pay food for service. Of course, they are rich, but does this mean that the common people are also rich?
Looking back at the war, the imperial court conscripted soldiers and fought for food. When did you not need to seek compensation from the people? Last year, Ningzhou was affected by disaster relief, but it was conscripted and paid. Wouldn’t this take them all away?Can there be no famine?

"You two, there are too many people who are rich and unkind. If you don't take real gold and silver, who would give you things for nothing. If there is no rotten grain I bought in exchange, what the court will see in Ningzhou can only be a lot of people. It’s nothing more than eating clean bones and a group of walking corpses that eat people! I admit the crime of wasting the country’s money and delaying the farming season, but I’m not a corrupt official, so I can’t wear the hat of a corrupt official to die!”.
