The world is heavy and late

Chapter 137 Departure
Xia Qing didn't pay attention to the rest of the matter because they were about to leave.

Before leaving, Xia Qing went to find Sun Yu and Ji Ling.

The purpose of looking for Sun Yu is to tell her that if there is any news that something is wrong in the palace, you can send her a message when it looks extremely bad.

I went to Ji Ling because...she wanted to bring something to eat.

Because she felt uncomfortable on the road, and slaves like them couldn't be driven in a sedan chair. She should have walked on foot, but Gu Weiyun felt too tired, so she was assigned a carriage directly, but it was also very hot. .

When Xia Qing was walking in the palace, she felt that sometimes she would faint while walking, not to mention if she was on the road, it would take a long time to get to Daming Palace.

So Xia Qing was going to ask Ji Ling for something good, but Xia Qing just opened his mouth, and Ji Ling smiled softly: "Someone has already arranged for you to make sour plum soup, and put a big bucket outside with crushed ice in it. Take it at noon. It's best to go out and drink."

Xia Qing immediately felt that she was stupid, and she was worried about the emperor's enjoyment.

So she pulled Ji Ling to sit on the porch and said: "Then you prepare some snacks for me, I think the journey will be uncomfortable."

Ji Ling smiled softly and said, "Okay, you can come and pick it up then."

Xia Qing nodded and left happily.

So while Xia Qing and Qiao Huan were rocking in the carriage, the two began to eat snacks and chat.

Xia Qing ate the food prepared by Ji Ling, and couldn't help feeling her thoughtfulness again.

At the same time, Xu Zhong was also on their way, but they were far from Xia Qing's luck.

Xu Zhong originally rode in a carriage when he left Beijing, but he had gradually learned to ride a horse on the way, and now his riding skills are quite good.

There was no way, the carriage ride was too bumpy, and Xu Zhong couldn't stand sitting like this, so he offered to ride a horse.

But now he is forced to sit in the carriage, and there are still those two people on the left and right sides, and Xu Zhong is not allowed to come out again, because when Xu Zhong just left Qingzhou on the road, he was a little hot under the sun, and almost fainted immediately .

After Xu Zhong heard the doctor's words, he also felt a little embarrassed. He has been in the palace all year round, but now he sees the sun and he will suffer from heat stroke?

Xu Zhong looked at the record of this food distribution in the car, and after going through it again and found that there was no problem, he took out the accompanying book and began to read it.

Perhaps it was because he walked out and saw more, especially Xie Huizhi, the eldest son of the Xie family.

He felt that his knowledge was far from enough, and he also found some books he had never seen before on the road. After all, even if the books in the palace were open to some female officials and eunuchs, they were only part of them.

So in this line of work, Xu Zhong himself bought a lot of books and is currently studying them.

Zhu Hei and the skinny man outside the carriage were also gossiping, after all the road was so boring, it would be hard not to talk, not to mention that Xu Zhong didn't stop them from saying anything.

They were still laughing now, and the skinny man said, "Brother Zhu, you didn't see the faces of those members of the Wang family when we left."

The black man said, "Hmph, they still want to embarrass our lord, I think it's wishful thinking."

Xu Zhong was naturally under a lot of restraint in Qingzhou and the surrounding areas of Langya County. First of all, those officials didn't take Xu Zhong seriously, and they pushed each other, and they didn't care about these things at all.

Seeing this situation, Xu Zhong directly bought some local ruffians and beggars with money, and asked them to go to various places to spread the news that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor to distribute new wheat seeds had arrived.

Xu Zhong knew that the news of this kind of place was severely blocked, so he directly asked them to spread the word about how well the new wheat seed was grown in Xiangzhou, Jingcheng and Xiazhou.

The county magistrates saw that the people under their rule knew about these things, and while sending news to the Wang family that they had no choice, they began to discuss specific matters with Xu Zhong.

It is natural and really helpless, but there are also those who know the emperor's intentions. It is obvious that they are not good at this place, but since they can fish in troubled waters, they also want to do something practical. After all, their wish for studying back then lies in this .

Unexpectedly, within a few days, rumors spread all over the place that the emperor should give them all the wheat seeds, but now he still needs to exchange his own grain because Xu Zhong wants to get money from it.

Those county magistrates had more or less sources of news, so they naturally knew the reason, but everyone watched the Wang family and Xu Zhong fighting, and they didn't dare to say anything.

At that time, General Hao Can, who was by Xu Zhong's side, was in a hurry. The people were making trouble outside all day long, and even threw some rotten eggs and rotten leaves at them. They became corrupt street rats.

General Hao Shen couldn't help persuading Xu Zhong and said, "Master, why don't you give it to them directly, I see how they look, if they don't have to do this, they will grow it themselves."

Xu Zhong directly refused: "No, this kind of thing, if you do it in one place, you have to do the same in other places, favoring one another, and there will be bigger troubles in the future. Now that the news can't spread to Xuzhou, will it be forever? Can't pass it on?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhong put down the book in his hand and said: "Besides, Xuzhou and Xiazhou, where the folk customs are simple and honest, cannot guarantee that most of the people will voluntarily change their crops, let alone Qingzhou."

General Hao Shen became even more anxious, walking around in Xu Zhong's room, the dark and thin ones who had been watching all the time felt a little dizzy, and wanted to hold Hao Shen in place so that he would not be left behind. move.

He said eagerly and helplessly: "Could it be that this time it was really unsuccessful?"

Xu Zhong's face was still serious, but his eyes turned cold. Xia Qing was right, Xu Zhong was suitable, especially because he looked thin, but his methods were never weak.

He directly used the emperor's private seal to send a letter to the governor of Qingzhou, forcing him to send a hundred garrisons to support him.

This is the purpose of the emperor's private seal to Xu Zhong. Xu Zhong can use this seal to transfer to garrisons in various places.

After the people came, Xu Zhong directly ordered Hao Can and the garrison to drive the troubled people to one place, and then let others call the nearby people to come and listen to the training.

When General Hao Shen received the order, he was immediately taken aback. He blocked Xu Zhong from walking out and said, "Master Xu, no, if you arouse public anger like this, I am afraid that the governor of Qingzhou will kill you here in the name of bandits." , the people will only clap their hands and applaud."

Xu Zhong looked at General Hao Shen and said, "I know, sir, do it yourself, and one person will bear all the consequences."

Go straight out after speaking.

The Wang family is watching the fun and arousing public grievances?They laughed that the emperor was really unreliable, and even let an eunuch come, and now they want to give the emperor a good shame.

They were still secretly happy, and the doorman came and said: "There is a self-proclaimed person outside who said he came to visit."

Everyone in the Wang family was shocked. Are you still in the mood to come to them at this time?
Someone asked hesitantly: "Maybe he came to beg for mercy. After all, he is sure to die this time, so he must be afraid."

The fourth house of the Wang family is guarding the ancestral house, and the patriarch is in Jiangnan and other places all the year round, where there is their Wang family's academy.

The fourth master narrowed his eyes and said: "Then bring it in, after all, it is His Majesty's imperial envoy, so we should see it."

Yijie Baishen is so condescending to court officials.
