Splendid Pastoral: The system is against the sky

Chapter 44 I want to see you happy

Can such a person be offended?

Offending her, isn't it the same as offending the prince?

Then he still wants his black hat.

Therefore, Zhou Xing was sentenced heavily, and Zhang Yun was also brought to a heavy sentence!

Zhou Xing was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and Zhang Yun was sentenced to exile for thousands of miles!

At the moment when all the dust settled, Zhou Xing gave her 888 hate points, while Zhang Yun directly gave her 999 hate points!
This morning, the Su family gave her more than 3000 hate points at first. When she went to the town, the three of them each gave her 999 hate points, plus Zhou Xing and Zhang Yun. A total of 7887 hate points were given to her, and she gained a total of about [-] hate points today, which can be said to be quite a harvest!
When she left the court, the county magistrate came down and sent her out of the yamen in person.

It wasn't until Su Yaoxue left that he was greatly relieved.

Then, with a wave of his hand, all the officials on the left and right left the court.

After the courtroom was emptied, the screen behind the desk where the county magistrate sat was moved.

When the county magistrate heard the sound of the screen moving, he immediately turned his head, lowered his head respectfully, walked up to the man who was as noble as the moon in the sky, and saluted him politely.

"My lord, do you think this sentence is okay?" the county magistrate asked cautiously.

The man was silent, but he was not angry.

He nodded slightly, and the magistrate's heart, which was held in his throat, finally fell.

"It's an honor for me to share my worries for the prince." The county magistrate said nervously, holding a flattering smile carefully.

Ming Yi, who was beside the prince, came down and gave some instructions in the county magistrate's ear. The county magistrate nodded after listening, and then bowed to the prince and retreated.

Immediately, the entire courtroom was so empty that only Wang Ye, Ming Yi and others were left.

"Ming Yi, transfer 300 million shi of grain from the fief," the man ordered, "and then distribute it to the affected counties of Yiling County, Taihe County, Cangshan County, Guinan County, and Taolin County."

"300 million shi of grain?" Ming Yi was stunned, "Master, that's one-fifth of the grain in the fief!"

One stone of grain is equal to thirty catties, so isn't that 300 million stones of grain equal to 9000 million catties?

It seems that 9000 million catties of grain is a lot, but if it is divided, it will be just that people will not die of hunger.

There were fifty counties in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Some counties had many counties, the largest counties had more than 50 counties, some counties had fewer counties, and the smallest counties had only three counties.

Generally speaking, under each county, there are more than [-] counties.

There are more than 100 counties in these five counties.

One hundred counties have to share the 9000 million catties of grain. Logically speaking, one county can get less than 90 catties, but in fact it cannot be calculated like this.

Among the five counties, the five largest counties have tens of thousands of people, while the other small counties have only a few thousand people.

In the past, government and business colluded, and most of the 100 million catties of grain stored in the county were sold to profiteers at high prices, and only a small part of the grain was kept for show, giving porridge to the people, and marking themselves as political achievements.

This keeps the rich from starving to death in disaster years, and even hoards surplus food, while many poor people starve to death.

Although the nine thousand catties of food sent by the prince will not starve everyone in these five counties, it can at least save more than [-]% of the victims.

As for the remaining less than [-]%?

People starve to death in a year of good weather, let alone a year of disaster?

However, Ming Yi didn't care whether so many people would starve to death, he only knew that the food could not be donated!

Back then, when the Xinyangmen incident occurred, the master was disappointed that he did not die in the chaos.

As the saying goes, if you want to commit a crime, why do you have no excuses?

He was demoted by the new emperor to that barbaric land with poor mountains and rivers. He had to endure frequent assassinations by the new emperor, and he had to try his best to gain a firm foothold in that barbaric land.

Western Chu is poor and backward. There, hundreds of primitive clans, big and small, run their own affairs. They are the local emperors who carve up the various parts of Western Chu. They are ignorant, cruel and terrifying. They will send people to assassinate him every now and then.

If he is like the fief princes in the past, willing to live in a corner and live in poverty, he will not have to worry about his life.

How could he live like a mayfly when he was burdened with blood and deep hatred?

Struggling between life and death, he wiped out wave after wave of assassins sent by the emperor, and shattered one conspiracy between the emperor after another and the major suzerains. More than ten years later, Xichu finally became his world alone.

But this is the Eastern Zhou Kingdom after all, no matter how large the territory of Western Chu is, even if Western Chu is under his control, the emperor is still the king and he is still a minister.

When he was as weak as an ant, the emperor refused to let him go.

After he introduced new production technology, educated the barbarians, and turned the thousands of miles of barren land into a land of fish and rice, it was even more impossible for the emperor to let him go!
The barbarian land of Western Chu is different from the northern border, where the climate is suitable and the soil is special. In the north, rice can be harvested once a year, but there it can be harvested three times a year.

If the weather is good, there will be a natural granary!

The master has gone through hardships, and he has everything he has today. He thought that when he first came to the barbarian land, someone would serve the master a meal full of saliva.

Now, how can the master use the hard-earned grain to relieve the disaster of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?
What's more, there must be a battle between the master and the emperor. As the saying goes, the three armies go first without using food and grass. How can these 9000 million catties of food be used here?
Isn't this a waste?
"Tell the people below to move quickly and try to transport the 300 million shi of grain to Youzhou within ten days." The man ordered in a deep voice.

"But……"

"Just an order."

A few simple words, but powerful!

Ming Yi nodded, not daring to vent his breath, and just retreated.

An Yi, who came back to report the situation, thought, you are stupid too, the master made it clear that Xiao Dixian was kind-hearted, so he wanted to share her worries.

What is it to throw 300 million shi of grain?
This must be just the beginning!

In fact, An Yi really guessed the master's thoughts correctly.

He just wants to see her happy, what is 300 million shi of food?

Who said that the final battle between him and the emperor must be a military battle?
Use your wits to fight against the enemy's soldiers without fighting!
If he didn't let someone escort 300 million shi of grain, Su Yaoxue really wouldn't be able to save so many victims.

Even if she earns 100 hate points a day, that's only [-] catties of grain. Can she save the disaster victims in more than [-] counties?
Wouldn't many people starve to death?
Bazhen Building, private room on the third floor.

Except for the county magistrate, all senior officials of Qingyun County gathered here.

The county magistrate snorted coldly, and poured himself a cup of tea: "Have you received any news? There is a girl who knows nothing about heights and depths, who dares to sell polished rice for twelve cents a catty!"
