Chapter 956 Resolutely popular!

In the Yunzhou city government office, Li Qingmu personally sits in the township as the regent, and cooperates with Yulongtai's men to sweep the city. Anyone who exposes and reports information that the world will betray the party will be rewarded with 5000 taels of silver once verified!

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Without the demon monk Qingyan and the young man in white, all the gang leaders in Yunzhou City were wiped out by Yulongtai. The government office exposed.

For those who are verified to be correct, Li Qingmu personally allocates funds from the government office treasury to reward the whistleblowers.

Afterwards, the people saw that others had taken the money, and came to the government office to expose all kinds of information. However, due to the large number of people who came, the information provided was important or not, so the rewards were not all that much.

Naturally, the soldiers of the government also had to cooperate. In less than half a month, all the major gangs in Yunzhou City, including the Tianxiahui, were eradicated.

Then Qi Jingyu issued a secret decree to arrest all the country gentry and tyrants who exploited the people's fields under clever pretexts, and gathered at Caishikou. Following Li Qingmu's order, hundreds of heads rolled to the ground, blood flowing like a river!
Under his strong impetus, all the occupied fields returned to the people again, and Li Qingmu's reputation also flourished, and he was honored as Li Qingtian by the people.

Not to mention, the feeling of being supported by others is really good, at least Qi Jingyu said sourly: "Uncle, are you trying to win the hearts of the people and throw all the blame on me?"

The emperor did nothing, and the regent stood up for the people, didn't he earn all the good reputation?
Regarding this, Li Qingmu just smiled and said: "Who made it inconvenient for you to show up, otherwise how could such a good thing happen to me?"

The reason why they wiped out Yunzhou City with such a thunderous blow was mainly to kill chickens for monkeys to show, so that people all over the world knew that the imperial court did not ignore their lives.

At the same time, it also scares the squires and bullies who are greedy for the people's fields, and makes them take the initiative to return the fields. For this, Qi Jingyu's secret decree still needs to come forward, and let the academicians of the Imperial Academy copy and distribute them to various government offices, to those squires and bullies One caveat.

In this way, the problems in Yunzhou City are basically solved, and the remaining trivial matters can be left to the newly appointed governor of Yunzhou.

As for the remnants of the Tianxiahui, they were still scattered in various states in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was no movement for a while, but Li Qingmu was not allowed to let them go, since they trafficked so much fine iron ore powder privately, there must be some conspiracy.

The defeat in Yunzhou City alone is definitely not enough to make them give up, so he decided to investigate all the way along the canal with Qi Jingyu to find out who is behind the scenes manipulating all this!
The two rented a ferry and went down the river, arriving at Hezhou City, the second largest city in water transportation along the way.

The biggest difference between this city and Yunzhou is that it is located in the southern plains, rich in rice, with tens of thousands of mu of fertile land, and it is the place with the most grain in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, when the two came here, they found that the people here were panic-stricken. People could be seen on the street pushing carts to transport corpses at any time. After asking someone to inquire, they learned that there was a flood in Hezhou City last month, and now there is another commotion. There was cholera and many people died.

Li Qingmu hurriedly went to the cloth shop to buy some fabric, filled it with some charcoal and cotton, and made two simple mouth coverings. This is the experience passed down by the elders to prevent infection.

Cholera is a disease that infects very quickly. If it is not treated by a doctor as soon as possible, it will kill quickly. However, if there is no specific medicine, the mortality rate will still be high.

Ozuki has done some research on this aspect, but he doesn't want Ozutsu to come here, if he gets infected, he may die at any time, it's too dangerous.

As usual, the epidemic here was not reported by the local officials. Seeing that the people were in danger, Qi Jingyu was very angry, and dragged the emperor's uncle to the local government office.

Hezhou Chengfu Yin's surname is Wei, and his name is Wei Baichuan. When the two came, this bad old man actually hid in the backyard of the mansion to drink, and he also found two beauties to accompany him.

Li Qing cursed angrily: "Wei Baichuan, you are so brave!"

Wei Baichuan didn't know Li Qingmu, and the two of them came in without prior notification. He frowned and covered his nose, stepped back, and shouted loudly: "Where are the wild dogs coming from, hurry up and drive them out!"

"You don't even know me, how dare you drive me away?"

Li Qingmu immediately revealed his identity, and Wei Baichuan fell to his knees with a thump in fright. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He shouted in panic, "I don't know that the Prince Regent has come from afar. , there is a long way to go..."

"There are so many people dying outside, do you dare to come out to meet them?" Li Qingmu asked him with an unfriendly expression, "There is such a big epidemic in Hezhou City, why didn't you report it?"

"My minister... my minister has written a memorial and reported it long ago, but the court has not allocated the money for a long time, and the villain is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice." Wei Baichuan explained with a wry smile.

Qi Jingyu asked again: "Then why don't you organize the people to save themselves, but hide in the government office and drink flower wine?"

Wei Baichuan rolled his eyes a few times, and forcefully argued: "This problem, the villain is not a doctor, and he doesn't know medical skills. Even if he wants to make a difference, he doesn't know where to start, right?"

"You don't know what to ask, what's the use of the imperial court spending your salary to support you?" Li Qingmu was so angry that he scolded loudly: "Come here, you have picked Wei Baichuan's crown-wearing feather and demoted you to a commoner!"

"Ah? My lord, please forgive me, I will immediately find a way to help the people, I will..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was dragged down by the yamen servants in the government office. Although this dog official didn't do any serious evil when he was in office, he didn't do anything good either.

Usually, the servants in the government office have long disliked him. If it wasn't for the power in his hands and the need to support a family, how could they be willing to work for him?
The plague was serious, Li Qingmu personally sat in the government office, mobilized the uninfected people in the city to a place, opened a warehouse to provide them with three meals a day, and at the same time ordered people to burn the corpses to avoid further infection.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner. Anyone who is sick will be sent to a doctor for treatment by the government office, and they will be isolated in several nearby houses. They are not allowed to come out until their condition improves.

Soon the cholera in Hezhou City was effectively controlled. Ten days later, the epidemic did not continue to spread. Although the people lost their loved ones, the order of the past was finally restored.

As for Wei Baichuan, a dog official with nothing to do, he was tied up and knelt at the gate of the city. Without his official position, he had to be spurned by the people for seven to seven days before the yamen servants let him go.

Seeing Li Qingmu's vigorous and resolute style of handling affairs, Qi Jingyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Uncle Emperor, if all the officials in this world can love and serve the people as much as you do, then I can enjoy the life of ordinary people."

"It's not that simple? Appoint the crown prince earlier and pass on the throne. Wouldn't it be worthless without an official?" Li Qingmu ran on him with a smile, he knew that the boy's emperor hadn't done enough.
