MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 758 Variety
Shi Le planned well, but the situation changed too quickly.
The disasters in Youzhou and Jizhou were too serious, there was no rain for 90 consecutive days, and since the Qingming Festival, the sun in the two places has become stronger day by day.
At this time, let alone plants that have never had rain, even people can't stand it. There are more and more armed fights in various places over water.
At this time, Wang Jun didn't have the heart to go to Yuncheng to participate in the activities of worshiping heaven. What's worse, young locusts began to be found in various places in Youzhou. Is there any possibility of remedy? As soon as I walked into the field, locusts filled the sky...
They were still young, but they flapped their wings and hit people's faces, causing pain.
The farmers standing in the fields were desperate for a moment. If it was just a drought, they could still have a glimmer of hope, thinking that it might rain at night, or they could find a source of water to irrigate;
But the sky filled with locusts, can they still beat them?
Because of the drought, less than two-thirds of the wheat seedlings that were planted germinated. In the past two months, more wheat seedlings died due to the drought, and the rest were short and small. None of them were seen.
The farmer standing in the field licked his dry lips and looked up at the hot sun in the sky. There were spots of light in his eyes, his brain was dizzy, and he fell back unconsciously.
Flopped and fell into the field, the back of his head hit the cracked field and there was a sharp pain. At this moment, he thought, is it a relief to die like this?
Thoughts flashed by, but the memory in my mind was faster than this thought. Almost as soon as I thought about it, the faces of my wife and children appeared in my mind.
The farmer opened his mouth, moved weakly like a fish stranded on the shore, and then stretched out his arms to get up. He still couldn't see clearly at this time, only felt that it was foggy.
He propped up his body vigorously, ignoring the locusts that pounced on his face and head, and stumbled forward...
I can't live here anymore, Youzhou can't live anymore, he has to go, he has to leave with his wife and children, he can't die, if he dies, his wife and son will definitely not be able to survive, he has to go back, he has to go back...
There are many desperate farmers like him, and they all chose to leave.
This is the only way they can find to survive.
The situation in Jizhou is better than that in Youzhou, but locusts have also started to appear in the fields, and bandits are rampant in the territory. Liu Kun took over the territory and handed it over to his brother Liu Xi for management. It is impossible for Liu Yuan and Shi Le to see him gain a firm foothold in Jizhou , so they kept sending troops to harass him.
In addition, Zuti in the south fought with Shile from time to time, making the political environment in Jizhou difficult to stabilize, and more people fled abroad.
Under such circumstances, Liu Kun had no choice but to seek help from the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would allocate some money and food to help the people of Jizhou fight the disaster;
Wang Jun heard that Liu Kun and the court were asking for money and food, so he was not far behind, and also asked for money and food on the booklet.
The emperor received the papers from the two places, and seeing the severity of the disaster, his heart sank.
The courtiers also felt panic. The location of Yuncheng is not very far from Jizhou. Once the disaster in the north is out of control, Yuncheng and Yanzhou will definitely be greatly affected.
Could it be that the Huns did not perish the Great Jin, but the Heavens were about to perish the Great Jin?
Even Zhao Zhongyu had nothing to say, and thought silently, is it because the country is not established properly, so God can’t see the good of Jin, and disasters come one after another?
Although the court was also very difficult, the emperor decided to collect some money and food to send to Jizhou and Youzhou.
Zhao Zhongyu, as the order of ministers, raised funds on his behalf.
Zhao Zhongyu responded, and wrote a letter to Zhao Hanzhang while raising food, telling her the news from Yuncheng, and told her, "There is still some time before the summer solstice, and the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven may change. The general situation is changing and getting worse day by day, your safety is the most important thing, you should find a way to push back the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven."
Zhao Hanzhang received the letter, but did not reply immediately. She pressed down the letter with a sullen face, and asked, "Can you reply when I thank you?"
Fan Ying immediately said: "Mr. Xie said that there is no sign of troop transfer in Pingyang City."
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let him continue to watch closely, and report immediately if there is any change in Pingyang City."
"yes."
Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while, but still felt uneasy, and said: "Let Mr. Ji pay attention to the news of Han Guo and Shi Le. Where is Wu Erlang? Is he still in Bingzhou? Let him stay in Bingzhou, don't come back in a hurry, and ask Han Guo country news."
Fan Ying: "Are you looking for news about the deployment of troops?"
Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "Dutan, this year's Bingzhou's harvest, cultivation, business travelers and refugees entering and leaving Bingzhou, even if there is only a general impact, let him report them one by one, and compare them with the information Mr. Ji received."
Fan Ying wrote it down, feeling a little worried, "Are the Huns going to send troops to attack us again?"
Zhao Hanzhang shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's just that I feel uneasy, so I pay more attention."
After finishing the order, Zhao Hanzhang got up, "The official documents are all processed, you can sort them out and send them down."
Seeing her lift her foot, she went out, Fan Ying hurriedly followed, "Master, we received another greeting card today, he said he is Wang Meizi, do you want to meet?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "It's gone. I've seen eight sisters during this time. Let Tinghe go see her. She also met Wang Langjun."
Fan Ying hurriedly chased after her and asked, "The envoy from Jingzhou..."
"Let him go to Uncle Ming if he has something to do." When the envoy from Jingzhou first arrived, Zhao Hanzhang met him personally, thinking that Wang Cheng had some important matter to discuss with her secretly, but he sent envoys all the way here to Take Wang Huifeng and Wang Siniang to Jingzhou.
Can Zhao Hanzhang agree?
Of course not.
Whether it is Wang Huifeng or Wang Siniang, they are now one of her capable officers, and Wang Huifeng has a special status and can suppress the Central Plains family. Why did she let her go?
However, Zhao Hanzhang still wrote a letter to Wang Huifeng who was far away in Luoyang, and asked her what she meant. The letter was written with sincerity and succeeded in keeping Wang Huifeng.
As for Wang Siniang, the two of them had a good relationship. When the envoy of Jingzhou spoke, she refused. The reason was that her father was buried in Luoyang, and she was unwilling to leave Luoyang.
Envoy: ...But this is Yuzhou, and you don't want to leave Luoyang. Why did you come here?
But he didn't say it, but said his second purpose of coming here, "Young Master is away studying, and since Luoyang City was broken, you have disappeared. It is said that such a major event as Luoyang City has happened for more than a year. Young Master should have been Hearing the news, he should have come back earlier, but he hasn’t disappeared yet.”
He said: "The governor is very worried, so I want to ask the governor Zhao to help find it."
Wang Huifeng and Wang Siniang were also very concerned about Wang Xuan's safety and wanted to find him. Zhao Hanzhang also wanted to find this elder brother, so he immediately agreed.
She immediately asked the local yamen to post announcements to find people. In just ten days, there were eight people who came to the yamen saying that they were Wang Meizi. mysterious.
Wang Siniang was so angry that she took a mission and went on a business trip. She was too lazy to see counterfeit goods here every day.
Zhao Hanzhang really wanted to open the heads of those people to see what was inside. Wang Xuan had only been missing for two years, not twenty years. I don’t know how many people knew him. Do you really think they can’t recognize the fake ones? ?
