Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Before Li Mengyue came closer, the village chief waved his hand to indicate to Li Mengyue that an important person had come to the village.

Isn't he an important person? A county official's visit should be treated well. But I don't know why County Magistrate Yang put aside his official duties and brought people to their village.

"Girl Yue, this is Lord Yang, you have met him. He said he wants to see you for something."

When he heard the village chief say that the county magistrate had come to see him specially, he was confused but not stupid enough to ask in front of everyone.

"Master Yang, you can take time out of your busy schedule to come to the village. It brings honor to the whole village."

"Miss Li, I do have something to talk to you about today. Why don't we go to your house to talk?"

"can."

Li Mengyue agreed, saying that if she wanted to do something, it would be no more useful to ask the village chief than the county magistrate.

After a cup of tea, County Magistrate Yang, Yang Run, the village chief and Li Mengyue arrived at the Li family.

After County Magistrate Yang sat down, Yang Run stood outside the door and the village chief sat down to accompany him. Li Mengyue poured two cups of tea for them.

"Master Yang, Grandpa Village Chief, please have some tea."

Magistrate Yang didn't hesitate to pick up the tea and drink it.

"This tea is good. Bring me some when you leave."

"No problem. I'm honored that your Excellency likes my tea."

When Li Mengyue saw County Magistrate Yang coming home, she did not show the slightest disdain, but sat down very naturally.

It is because of this that people use diluted spiritual spring water to brew tea.

However, County Magistrate Yang came to see Li Mengyue because of the duck.

The last time he came to Xinghua Village to take care of the abducted children, he knew that Li Mengyue had got a thousand ducklings. At that time, he even persuaded Li Mengyue to stop messing around and live a good life.

As a result, when they returned, he and Yang Run visited the entire Wuning County and discovered a serious problem, coupled with the capture net that the child had taken before.

Putting all these together, what is there to understand? There will be a locust plague in Wuning County.

No, it may not just be Wuning County, perhaps the entire Qingshan Prefecture is like this.

Sure enough, when he sent someone to send the children home, each family brought generous gifts.

After all, the lost children are not ordinary. If a rich family loses a child, and the county government is not able to help find the child, if there is a problem in the future and you want the rich family to help, it will definitely take more effort.

Not to mention anything else, the young master of the Jiang family in Lanlong County is the only child of the Jiang family, so he is naturally treasured.

This time he came here, not only to seek a solution to the locust plague, but also to give Li Mengyue a thank-you gift.

Oh, all these thank-you gifts were from the family of the lost child, and the 12,000 taels of silver from the Jiang family were also redeemed.

Moreover, the thank-you gifts given by the families of the abducted children were not empty but very real, all in the form of silver notes. He calculated that there were a total of 50,000 taels.

To be honest, even though he never lacked money, he was still a little jealous of the money.

However, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, so he would not do such a despicable thing as swallowing it up.

He just didn't know what the locust situation was like in other counties.

However, he also sent people to the other six county governments to disclose the matter. If someone listened, they could prepare in advance and avoid more damage.

As soon as he discovered the locust plague, he sent someone to report the problem to his superiors at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.

What he could not have imagined was that the Great Zhou Dynasty had already fallen into a situation of internal and external troubles and could not care about a poor county or whether there would be a locust plague. The memorial he submitted was directly suppressed by the prime minister.

Although the Great Zhou's god of war Xie Ruiyuan defeated Xiliang and temporarily resolved the crisis on the western border, Mobei was ready to make a move.

General Huaihua, who was guarding Beiling City, reported urgently over 800 miles away and sent people to investigate. They found out that winter had arrived early in Mobei and countless cattle and sheep had frozen to death overnight.

In order to get through the winter safely, they prepared for large-scale offensive and sweep operations, stockpiled food and fodder to make the winter more bearable and prevent large numbers of herdsmen from freezing to death.

That’s not all. A flood hit Guangping Prefecture in the south, a dam burst, and countless civilians’ houses were flooded, forcing them to flee north.

In the Taiji Hall of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, court officials stood in their positions according to the size of their official positions.

"My dear ministers, how do we resolve the issues in Mobei and Qingshan Prefecture?"

After saying this, Emperor Wu Wen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at the ministers below, all standing there with their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, and said sarcastically: "Why, it's easy for you to ask for money at ordinary times, but when something really happens, you all become turtles."

Still no one spoke, Emperor Wu Wen thought of slapping the dragon throne with his palm and yelling, "Useless! What are you all standing there for? I asked you to give me advice, but you just stood there without saying anything. Do you think I can do nothing with you?"

At this time, the head of the civil officials, the prime minister, Yun Zhengzhi, walked out of the team slowly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think the most important thing now is to stop the disaster victims in the south from migrating north, and at the same time, we must strictly guard against it to prevent the disaster victims from contracting the epidemic during their escape and causing the capital to fall."

Yun Zhengzhi understood one thing since he started school, that is, if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

In order to pass the examination to become a scholar, he stuffed cheat sheets into his friend's clothes, thus destroying his friend's chance of taking the imperial examination. In order to pass the examination to become a juren, he gave laxatives to the people who were studying with him in the inn, thus preventing more than 20 people from being able to take the examination.

What conscience does he have? He doesn't care what the people do as long as it doesn't affect his peaceful life.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhong, the Grand Commandant, frowned. He could not help but stand up and said, "If we refuse to allow the disaster victims to migrate north, where will hundreds of thousands of people go? Once the disaster victims find that there is no hope, they will be indignant and rise up in rebellion. What should we do then? I wonder if Prime Minister Zhang has thought of a countermeasure?"

After a pause, he turned to Emperor Wu Wen and said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to open the granaries and release the grain. In any city where the disaster victims may pass through, we must set up refugee camps to allow the disaster victims to settle down there."

After hearing this, Yun Zhengzhi sneered at first, then glanced at Li Zhong from the side.

"Do you know how huge the number of hundreds of thousands of disaster victims is? If we use all the food to provide disaster relief, not to mention the restless Mobei, if Xiliang gets wind of it and gathers a large army to attack again, who will go to the front line and what will the soldiers eat?"

"Some time ago, 200,000 dan of grain was transported to Beiling City. If more grain is taken out, the soldiers in the west will have nothing to eat. How can they resist Xiliang? Your Majesty, I beg you to abandon the victims in the south and wait for half a year. If there are still victims alive by then, it will not be too late for the court to resettle them according to the situation."

Emperor Wu Wen, who was sitting at the top, looked at the prime minister and the general confronting each other, and wondered in his mind whose plan to adopt.

But after thinking about it, he still felt that what Yun Zhengzhi said made sense.

After all, compared with the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, if he fails to resist Xiliang and Mobei, what he will lose is his country, and he will definitely become a king of a fallen country.

After thinking things through, Emperor Wu Wen issued an order without hesitation: "The imperial edict to stop the disaster victims in the south from migrating north should be handed over to Minister Zhang Ai!"

After Emperor Wu Wen finished speaking, he signaled eunuch Liu Qingyun to adjourn the court.

"Retreat."

In this way, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims who moved north from the south were completely abandoned by the Great Zhou.
