"Zhang Wazi, the last field has been finished." The old man said while wiping his sweat.

Cheng Cheng looked over, and saw that all the rice paddies had been propped up, and the water in the field had completely descended to a normal height.

The sun that was about to set was red, and the orange sunlight shone on the sparkling water. He smiled at the old man and said with emotion: "Finally it's over."

They have been racing against time these days, and they have saved most of the crops in Qingshan Village.

"Uncle, go and eat, Ah Hua has made porridge in front, I'll take a look."

"Okay, then you come back quickly, the meal will be gone in a quarter of an hour later."

"Ah."

After Cheng Cheng waited for his figure to disappear from his line of sight, he took out the diluted spiritual spring water from the system space, and scooped it up cherishingly.

Now there is some spiritual spring water in every field, the survival rate of this crop will be much higher, and the speed of maturation will be faster.

"Do I have any rice to exchange?" Cheng Sheng asked 1404, "How much more?"

"For the last 10 bags, the chance will be gone after three times."

Cheng Cheng sighed sadly: "Qingshan Village is still in good condition. There is spiritual spring water and rice hanging from the shopping mall. We will start hunting tomorrow and we can make a living. What about the surrounding villages and counties? The imperial court's disaster relief food is less than a day away. , Thousands of people will die in this disaster area every day.”

Recalling the appearance of Qingshan Village starving and starving at the beginning, Cheng Cheng felt depressed, and after much deliberation, he concluded: "King Jing is doing well."

……

King Jing's heart was beating fast in the carriage suddenly, he lifted the thick blanket covering his lap, poked his head out and asked, "Where are we going?"

The entourage replied: "My lord... Your son, we are almost in Zhangjia County."

In order to avoid trouble, Meng Lichang went out in the name of Prince Xiao's son. His elder brother got married early, and his son is not young now.

"Zhangjia County?" I really felt happy when I heard this surname, "Take me to Zhang County Magistrate to have a look. Not yet, you continue along the river, it's only been a few days, Qingyao must be around here."

"Yes."

……

Cheng Cheng didn't know that Meng Lichang was not far away from him. During the day, he worried on the field stalks for a while and then went back to the medical clinic. By the way, he gave 10 bags of rice to Bailaohua for them to continue distributing.

"I pawned my jade pendant at the pawnshop, in exchange for these rice, you can continue to give porridge with it."

Ah Hua felt a little sad while touching the rice bag: "The jade pendant must be very important to you, right?"

Cheng Cheng smiled: "It's just a jade pendant, it doesn't have any important meaning, I just wear it on my body to look good, now I can sell it for some rice, it's worth it."

Ah Hua watched him hesitate to speak.

Cheng Cheng took a step forward, stroked her hair lovingly and said, "I can still redeem the jade pendant in the future, but people will die if they don't eat now."

Elder Bai nodded in relief, and Ah Hua blushed because of his sudden closeness.

After the three of them had dinner together, Lao Bai pulled him to talk, and Ah Hua was making medicine beside him and listening to them quietly, pursing her lips and smiling from time to time, the shallow dimples made her playful and cute.

Seeing this, Cheng Cheng's brows softened.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, the cicadas sing sparsely at the end of summer, and the three people and three shadows are extremely harmonious.

……

Under the swift action of the guards, Meng Lichang quickly arrived in Zhangjia County. Under the care of the accompanying doctor, his body has almost recovered, and he is still in good spirits at the moment, but he has always been concerned about Zhang Qingyao, so his expression is gloomy, and he looks strange. human.

The county magistrate of Zhangjia County has already been waiting. He has paid tribute to many things, has a wide network of contacts, and is well-informed. Hearing that Prince Xiao's son and his party came all the way to visit the mountains and rivers, he asked people to wait at the county magistrate early on. On the road, as soon as there is a situation, I will immediately lead people to meet it.

Meng Lichang got out of the car and hadn't seen the light for a long time, his skin was much fairer.

Although it was the end of summer, he had been in poor health recently, and his hands and feet were a little cold, so he was wearing a small and exquisite hand warmer.

He straightened his round belly and gave himself a lot of psychological training before going up with a smirk and saying: "I heard that the son of Prince Xiao was out for a visit earlier, and the next official came to greet him, so let the next official do his best to be a landlord and take the son away. Walk."

Meng Lichang looked at him with a half-smile, then nodded: "Magistrate Zhang has a heart, so I will trouble you."

County magistrate Zhang seemed to be encouraged, nodded and said: "It should be."

Meng Lichang signaled the others to scatter to find someone, but he himself tried his best to see what the county magistrate was up to.

He walked all the way, and found that this county was not full of patients on the roads in other counties, but empty, with nothing, and the ground was very clean.

"What about the people in your county?"

County Magistrate Zhang squinted his small eyes as if worried, and sighed: "Isn't this a plague after the disaster? No one dares to come out, for fear that they will catch the disease and then infect their family members. over."

"If you don't come out, how can life go on smoothly? What about eating? The rice at home may not last too long, right?"

"This has to be said about the imperial court." County magistrate Zhang hesitated to speak.

Meng Lichang said clearly: "Don't worry, the magistrate, I won't talk too much."

"The rice from the imperial court has been delayed, and the crops of the common people in that field have died, and they are barely living on gruel." He was extremely distressed, and his brows without eyebrows were tangled together, "I have no choice but to It was able to forcefully order each rice warehouse to take part of the grain and distribute it head-to-head from door to door, and this has barely survived until now.”

Meng Lichang nodded and didn't ask any more questions. County magistrate Zhang still had a few words to say, and he was choking on his throat, which was extremely painful.

After arriving at the place, County Magistrate Zhang personally brought Meng Lichang a glass of cold water, the rim of the glass was pitifully broken, it was really simple and simple.

Meng Lichang didn't drink, the entourage next to him raised his chin and said to County Magistrate Zhang, "My elder son is unwell and urgently needs to recuperate. Can Magistrate Zhang give us a place to stay?"

"Naturally, the eldest son lives in the first room in the west wing. I just asked someone to clean it up." County magistrate Zhang was in a very good mood, and Xiaodou's eyes were bright.

He asked a few more thoughtful words, then withdrew.

Not long after he left, a guard came in and said, "Just as the master thought, the common people are restricted in the house and are not allowed to move. The words of the county magistrate today were taught by his teacher. I secretly checked a few common people. I learned that the county magistrate had cut off the tongues of several people in order to complete the rhetoric some time ago, as a warning to others."

Meng Lichang's eyes were cold: "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, this county magistrate is really crazy."

"There is also the fact that there is something about delivering grain to the people, but it is quite different from what he said. The grain was not drawn from various rice warehouses, but he directly sent someone to raid a rice store warehouse. Listen People say that the price of the rice shop is fair, and there is no price increase in the year of disaster. The owner is called Li Daoxiang, and he is a virtuous person. Because he did not bribe the magistrate Zhang before, he has been tossing him openly and secretly. This time he was directly copied. home."

"Most of the copied food was collected by County Magistrate Zhang, but a small part was given to the rich peasants who usually respect him."

"Master, do you want to kill him?"

Meng Lichang shook his head: "Although he is a beast, he is still wearing the skin of a court official. We can't do it directly now. After you leave, you can deal with him secretly and distribute all the rice noodles in his warehouse to the people."

"Yes!"

The cold wind gushes out from the wooden windows, and one can feel that the seasons have changed, but it is obvious that it will be the harvest season soon, and the people of the Great Xia Dynasty feel particularly difficult.

Meng Lichang felt a tight pain in his chest again.

The guards in the room suddenly heard a sound coming from outside, and wanted to go out to investigate. Who would have thought that Meng Lichang would suddenly cough violently.

He didn't care too much, supported his master, and hurried to find the medical officer.

……

"What! The prince wants to kill me? Are you sure you heard right?"

In the East Wing, County Magistrate Zhang turned pale with shock, put down the colored porcelain teacup in his hand and grabbed the servant's collar.

"My lord, I really heard right." After the servant finished speaking, he played two roles by himself, and vividly acted out what he heard at the time.

County magistrate Zhang knew what kind of mind he was, and he couldn't think of such a wonderful plot at all, and his face became more and more ugly.

"People sit at home, disasters come from the sky, master, what should we do now?"

The master he relies on is holding a fan like Kong Ming, but Zhuge's is a goose feather fan, which is a flower feather plucked from the tail of a big rooster. It looks nondescript, even a bit funny. The master shook the fan and said slowly: " Don't panic."

"The prince is just the prince, and he is still the prince with high status, and he is not an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court. What are you afraid of?"

County magistrate Zhang said anxiously: "But now he knows the truth!"

Speaking of this, he was very indignant: "He saw me flattering and flattering him just now, and his feelings were like watching a monkey show. He had already sent someone to check me out, and now he still has to learn how to see injustice It is really hateful that the righteous men who drew their swords to help killed me."

"Heh." The master chuckled, and pointed his fan down to the ground, "My lord, what am I referring to?"

County magistrate Zhang looked over and blinked: "Yes."

The master shook his head and nodded again.

County magistrate Zhang is also quick-witted, so he immediately understood, and said with a smile, "It's Zhangjia County, my place."

The master covered his mouth with a rooster fan and said mysteriously: "Yes, it's the place for adults."

"We have the final say on what can happen here, why don't we deal with him in the same way."

County magistrate Zhang is also a madman. After pondering for a while, he made a decision, but he was still a little worried: "Our reason will be when the time comes."

"Prince Xiao's son passed by a disaster county, unfortunately contracted the plague and died. Maybe the imperial court will allocate food earlier if they know about this. Recently, Wangcai in my family has been hungry and thin."

County magistrate Zhang stroked his mustache and kept nodding: "Very good, very good."

……

……

Qingshan County.

There was a thin woman in a scarlet floral dress at the entrance of the Bai Lao Medical Hall. There was a big black mole on the corner of her lips, and a tuft of hair on top of the mole.

"Let me meet that Mr. Zhang here." She howled, her voice was as loud as a big rooster, and all the neighbors in the neighborhood were attracted by her voice.

Qingshan Village is now following the method Cheng Cheng gave Bai Lao, distinguishing those who suffer from hunger from those who suffer from the plague, isolate and treat those who suffer from the plague, and then gather the rest of the village to drink a big pot of porridge.

The strong men were divided into groups, and they took turns to go hunting in the mountains. From time to time, they would bring back a wild boar for everyone to eat, and they could live on.

Although it is not as comfortable as usual, it is much better than selling pots and selling iron and selling children and daughters in previous disaster years, not to mention the lush crops in the fields now.Everyone feels that this day is much more hopeful than before.

Because this series of methods was proposed by Cheng Cheng, everyone gave him the credit, saying that Bai's family rescued a capable young man, and they loved him very much.

Many people can eat enough and are not afraid of the plague anymore, so their minds are naturally much more active. This matchmaker... naturally found her door.

"Father, the matchmaker outside is still making trouble, no, otherwise we'll bring her in."

"My stupid girl!" Bai Lao looked over with hatred, "She came in to introduce Zhang Qingyao's wife, don't you like that kid? Why do you let her in?"

"Besides, we haven't gotten over this difficulty yet, those people just come here and there, shameless!" He spat rudely towards the door as he spoke.

"Daniu!" he said loudly, "Don't let that matchmaker Liu in."

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Matchmaker Liu immediately got up and began to scold: "God damn you old man who usually looks like a good guy, but today you are cutting off my money. I think you are a fake genius doctor. They say that doctors are parents. Why is this person so cruel?"

"I promised Li Nonghu's family, and I will tell her daughter that she is this relative. Aren't you just ruining my brand?"

Daniel originally wanted to drive her away, but at this moment he was caught off guard and was sprayed with saliva all over his face, and he froze in place.

On the contrary, Mr. Bai was angered by the matchmaker's shameless words, and cursed: "You are stupid, who are you to blame? The thing that didn't say anything is done in your mouth? Who do you think you are? The Jade Emperor or the Queen Mother?"

"me……"

Bailao didn't give her a chance to show off and scolded again: "The difficulties are not over yet, and there is no rice or food at home, so you just use your rotten clothes to make people get married, everyone, why do you think so?" Such a stupid person? Hastily working on other people's affairs before your own family's affairs are resolved? Is that on your neck called a brain? Can it be used to think about things? "

Matchmaker Liu has always been invincible in scolding battles in the past, because she is sneaky, cunning, and naughty, but now she is at a disadvantage and is a little confused for a while.

A villager next to him laughed and said loudly: "Old Bai is right, matchmaker Liu, you should go back, if you have anything to do, wait until this time passes."

"That's right, it's useless for you to stay here, no one in this eight-mile field can quarrel with Lao Bai."

Old Bai looked at Matchmaker Liu very disdainfully. He lived such an old age and has been a doctor for so long. He has dealt with many difficult doctor-patient relationships. The relatives of those patients made more unreasonable troubles. Matchmaker Liu is not bad in his eyes. Nothing.

Matchmaker Liu was trembling with anger, and finally sneered: "Your precious daughter is not married yet, right? From now on, I will tell my colleagues that your girl can't marry Mr. Ruyi, so don't regret it!"

Bailao has only one daughter, she is beautiful and hard-working, and she is usually precious. Matchmaker Liu is full of confidence, thinking that as long as she takes her daughter's life-long event as an example, Bailao will definitely give in.

She has been a matchmaker for so many years, and she has never been humiliated like this!

"Okay, let's talk." Bai Lao said calmly, "You, your man, your son, your parents, brothers and sisters, don't come to see a doctor at my place."

It's as if no one has a skill that people can rely on.

……

When Cheng Cheng and those men came back from the mountain, they heard that Matchmaker Liu was fainted by Bai Laoqi.

"What's going on?" He went back and asked Bai Lao.

Bai Lao didn't answer him, instead he took him to sit in the backyard and asked, "What do you think of Ah Hua?"

The author has something to say: Mr. Meng and Azhang will meet soon, and it shouldn’t be too far away from returning to the palace~
