Liu Mingzhi looked at the Qingzhou people who were kneeling all over the Yamen Square and hurriedly raised their hands to signal: "Folks, don't be too polite, get up quickly!"

After half a cup of tea, everyone stood up.

"Master Imperial Envoy, you clearly ordered us to catch locusts in exchange for food. We risked being punished by God to catch locusts, but why did your government go back on its word!"

"That's right, you just gave us a good bowl of porridge and then broke your promise. You really don't treat us ordinary people as human beings!"

"Folks, please listen to me. I didn't say that I would not change the food, and I will change it immediately, but the folks, can you listen to me first?"

It seemed that what Liu Mingzhi said was true and sincere, and the people were willing to believe the imperial envoy who made them drink a bowl of thin porridge. Tens of thousands of people were looking at Liu Mingzhi eagerly!

"Folks, let's spread the word to each other, can it be done without crowding after the food is moved out?"

After discussing for a while, a loud voice sounded out: "Yes!"

"Everyone consciously arrange the order. Also, please understand that food is limited now. Today, each person can only exchange five catties of food. Try to distribute the existing food to everyone. Do you agree?"

It was quiet for a long time before shouting in unison: "It can be done!"

Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the simple people, he was afraid that there would be chaos due to the uneven distribution, and he only wanted a bite of food, why couldn't the officials of Qingzhou government do it!

"Quietly line up!"

Although the tens of thousands of people stood in an orderly manner, at least there was no congestion, but there was an empty aisle in the middle!

"Jiang Lei!"

"The end is here!"

"Call all the accountants in Qingzhou, and then five hundred soldiers will transport all the [-] shi of grain we brought to the Yamen and pile it up!"

"Yes!"

It was already getting late, but the people below were neither loud nor noisy, they all looked eagerly at Liu Mingzhi standing in front of the yamen and instructing the accountant to place the position!

"The steelyard must be fair. Ten steelyards are your conscience, you know!"

"Follow the order!"

Liu Mingzhi glanced at the last ox cart leaving the mountain of grain and heaved a sigh of relief: "Jiang Lei, have all the grain arrived?"

"More than half of it has been shipped, and if I ship any more, I won't be able to let it go!"

"That's right, there's not enough food for one day today, so keep it while you're at it, let's let the common people survive with the food in the Qingzhou government treasury first, after the people feel at ease, it's time to deal with all the people on record in the locust disaster in Qingzhou government! "

"My lord still thinks that Qingzhou Mansion is tricky?"

"It's tricky? It's more than just tricky! Just look at it, Qingzhou Mansion must be shaken up, and there may be a big reshuffle, this is my intuition!"

"The last general will just follow orders!"

Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath and looked at the calm and earnest Qingzhou people below who were holding up all kinds of cloth bags and felt sad: "I kept the folks waiting for a long time!"

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at the people of Qingzhou who suddenly knelt neatly and even cried, and faintly heard many crying men with dry throats. He just did what he should do, and he should not be so grateful to them!

He slammed the gong in his hand: "The food exchange begins!"

"Wang Gouzi, locusts are six catties and seven taels, and rice is one catty and twenty five!"

"Feng Laobu, the locusts are four catties, and you can exchange one catty of rice!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at every commoner who changed food, hugged tightly in his arms and left with tears in his eyes, and walked towards the mansion with his mouth pursed.

The wind and sand is a bit big, and the eyes always get into the sand! content

ten days later.

The dilapidated and resentful scene of Qingzhou Mansion is gone!

Although the people's faces are still waxy, everyone's expressions are full of hope and longing!

In just ten days, the locusts in Qingzhou knew what is called the primate of all things.

Even the illiterate people in the eight prefectures of Qingzhou prefecture knew what the big characters on the notices pasted on the city walls of each prefecture meant. These big characters represented the ardent hopes of the imperial envoys.

More than three locusts fly together, capture them!

"Third Brother, Big Brother really convinced you. In just ten days, the disaster-stricken Qingzhou Prefecture has been revitalized. This is a scene that has never been seen in disaster relief. Now, when people mention locusts, not only do they not feel afraid, but they are all eager to try. Officials from various prefectures and counties in Qingzhou City have gradually begun to leave and return to their own places!"

Liu Mingzhi put down the official documents sent by the states in a hurry, including the official documents of the governors of each state and the official documents of Long Wuwei's private inquiry, Liu Mingzhi compared them all one by one!

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Mingzhi looked at the elated Song Qing: "Have you not found out about Chang Yunfeng and Qiao Changjing?"

Song Qing shook his head helplessly: "Don't keep talking about the frustrating things, brother is talking about the locust plague in Qingzhou Prefecture!"

Liu Mingzhi put down his teacup and sighed: "I'm also talking about the locust plague. As long as Chang Yunfeng and Qiao Changjing can't be found for a day, the locust plague in Qingzhou is far from over!"

"But now the people are full of energy, and it's no longer the kind of life that lasts three hours a day. Although the locusts outside the city are almost extinct, there are still many children wandering around catching locusts. This is not a good thing. The locust plague is gone, and the people have food in their hands. I have never seen such a perfect disaster relief since ancient times!"

"But have you ever thought about how long the food that we brought in and the 30 shi of food that we brought in and the food that was distributed to the common people will last?"

"Isn't there still food in the treasury? Now that the camps for the victims are empty, the treasury has enough food for next year!"

"Jiang Lei, order the officials of the state government, from the governor to the clerk, to order the people to reclaim the land immediately, and stop catching locusts!"

"Cultivate the land? Are you sure you are right, my lord?"

"Tell the people everywhere that if you believe me, you can reclaim the land. If you don't believe it, forget it. There are still a lot of people who are depleting the food in their hands. Then start using work as relief. Tell them that as long as a certain amount of land is reclaimed, they can receive it." Eat the food from the government!"

"Yes!"

"Master Liu, may I come in?"

"come in!"

Qinglian looked at Liu Mingzhi and Song Qing who were sitting on the chair with her hands behind her back and smiled lightly: "Husband, big brother!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Qinglian with a smile: "Why are you here!"

"I must have missed you, what else could it be for?"
