Mingshi

Chapter 199
Now Luo Qing has been promoted to the team leader by the chief executive Bai, and Luo Xin is the deputy team leader.This made Luo Qing and Luo Xin, who had just joined the army, very excited.

this day.

Luo Qing and Luo Xin went home together at sunset again, the Luo family was naturally very happy.He didn't lose his life, and was promoted to an official. Although he was an unqualified official, it also made the Luo family extremely happy.

However, at the dinner table, both Luo Qing and Luo Sheng had bad looks on their faces. Luo Heng didn't say anything at first, but seeing the faces of the two grandsons, he finally put down his chopsticks and said before the meal was finished:
"What happened? Did you two get into trouble in the army?"

"No!" Luo Qing and Luo Sheng were taken aback and hurriedly denied it.

"Then why do you two look different?" Luo Heng's face sank.

"Alas..." After all, Luo Qing has been with Luo Xin, Zhou Yu and others for a long time, and now he is not as afraid of grandpa as before, so he sighed and said:

"Grandpa, there is no food in the army."

"There is no food in the army?" Luo Xin was startled and looked up at Luo Qing: "Really?"

"Really!" Luo Qing and Luo Sheng nodded together.

Luo Xin's expression became serious, once the army ran out of food, how would they resist the bandits?If the rogues were allowed to attack the city, I am afraid few people would be able to survive.

"There is no more in the county?" Luo Xin asked with a hint of expectation.

"It's gone!" Luo Sheng said from the side: "We can only eat half full these two days, and I heard that we won't even be half full in two days."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door, Luo Sheng stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Soon, Luo Sheng turned around and said with an ugly face: "Young brother, the army told us to go back quickly, saying that there is action."

Luo Xin hurriedly stood up, picked up a few steamed buns and stuffed them into the arms of Luo Qing and Luo Sheng, letting them eat while walking.Luo Qing and Luo Sheng left in a hurry.

"I didn't hear the sound of the siege, what action will the army take?" Luo Ye listened for a while with his ears up.

Everyone in the room looked at Luo Xin, and Luo Xin stood up and said, "I'll go to the county government to inquire about it."

County government.

In Zhou Yu's study, Luo Xin jumped up.

"What? The army wants to rob food?"

"It's not grabbing food!" Zhou Yu looked at Luo Dao helplessly: "It's food!"

"What if the people refuse?"

Embarrassment appeared on Zhou Yu's face and he said, "I will punish you severely..."

"How to punish severely?"

Zhou Yu's expression became even more embarrassing: "Decapitate..."

"Isn't this robbery?"

"If you break the city, you will definitely die..."

"The people will starve to death if the city is not destroyed!" Luo Xin interrupted Zhou Yu.

"It's useless to say these things!" Zhou Yu stood up, walked up and down the study room irritably, walked back and forth and stood in front of Luo Xin, saying:

"I heard from my father that the first wave of grain was for all families without meritorious service. Regardless of whether it is agriculture, industry or commerce, as long as the family has no meritorious status, each family is only allowed to keep ten catties of grain, and the rest must be handed over to the public. Anyone who hides food will be executed."

"Is there any law of Ming Dynasty?" Luo Xin protested.

"During the war...as long as the county is not lost, the imperial court will only grant rewards and will not pursue it." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Actually, President Bai has no choice."

"Fart chief soldier, but a general!" Luo Xin said angrily.

"Hey!" Zhou Yu laughed and said, "If he can hold the city this time, he will really be able to return to his original post."

Looking at Luo Xin's suspicious expression, he said, "Don't believe me, Bai Yanqing was originally the chief soldier, and he has many connections and friendships. As long as he can hold the county seat, it's really not a problem to become the chief soldier again!"

"Is this why he robbed food?"

"Brother Xin, calm down." Zhou Yu said helplessly, "The army is out of food now. If those soldiers don't have food, they can't stand the city at all. Once the rogues come in, everyone in the county will have to die." But if you defend the city, although some people will starve to death, you can always save a group of people. This is also the lesser of two powers. If Brother Xin has a way to retreat from the enemy, I can let my father go to see Bai Commander-in-Chief, cancel your rations."

"I... have no choice!" Luo Xin sat down in frustration.

"Isn't this the end?" Zhou Yu spread his hands and said, "No one is willing to do this, neither you nor I, neither does my father, nor does Mr. Bai, it's just that the situation is compelling!"

"Oh..." Luo Xinchang sighed and said, "It's really useless to be a scholar!"

Zhou Yu also shook his head with a wry smile, and remained silent.After a while, he said: "Don't worry, Brother Xun, you have your brother-in-law in your family who has fame, and Younger Brother and Luo Sheng are also in the army, so they will not target your family members. Brother Xun and Yifu also have fame, so naturally they will I will not be punished."

"Understood!" Luo Xin was a little listless.

Luo Xin returned home, seeing men, women and children waiting in the main room, seeing Luo Xin walking in, seeing the ugly look on Luo Xin's face, everyone's heart skipped a beat, Grandpa asked in a concentrated voice :

"Xin'er, what happened please?"

"The food is ready..."

Luo Xin recounted the news he had inquired from Zhou Yu.Hearing that their home would not be destroyed, the hearts of the people in the house were finally let go.Luo Zhi also recovered his expression, and even with a touch of arrogance, he flicked his sleeves and said:
"It's just some common people. Now is the time for them to serve the court! Even if they starve to death, they will die well."

Luo Xin looked up at him and said, "The people in the county don't have much food left."

"What do you mean?" Luo Zhi was taken aback.

Luo Xin stood up and flicked his robe sleeves while walking outside and said: "When the food collected from the common people is exhausted, the food from famous families will definitely start."

Luo Xin's back disappeared into the night, the room was silent, Luo Zhi's face turned blue and red.After a while, Luo Heng let out a long sigh and said:

"This day, it's just a day!"

the next day.

There were soldiers posting notices in the streets and alleys, and then teams of soldiers began to go door to door to get food.It seems that Bai Yanqing and Zhou County Magistrate have also done a detailed investigation. No soldiers came to any famous family, and groups of soldiers began to enter the homes of ordinary people one by one.

Luo Xin was walking towards the gate with a folding fan in his hand, Luo Shi called out behind him: "Xin'er, there is chaos outside, what are you going out for?"

"I'll go out and have a look, mother, you don't have to worry about me."

"Xin'er..."

"Let him go!" Luo Ping came out of the room and said, "With his current reputation in Yanglin County, nothing will happen."

Luo Xin pushed open the door and went out, and saw groups of soldiers on the street coming in and out of each house, crying and ping-pong sounds came from each door, and then saw soldiers carrying their hands. Come out the door with the bag.
