According to the records in the file, Qingshui County was a large county in the early days of the old emperor's accession to the throne, with more than 30 people.
Today, countless people have fled Qingshui County, died of plague, starved to death, and there are only less than 10 people left in Qingshui County!
In a few years, Qingshui County will probably become a barren land without people.
In ancient times, population was the primary productive force, and without population, there would be nothing.
Looking at it, Li An only felt a headache, it was difficult!
……
That afternoon, Tian Qi found Li An again with a perplexed face.
"My lord, the price of grain in Qingshui County is soaring now, and a bucket of rice has already risen to a hundred cash. The officials are wondering whether they should send someone to Jiangnan to purchase grain?"
A bucket of rice with a hundred words, I didn't know that I thought the rice grains were hiding golden beans!
Li An's face was cold, the profiteers should be damned!
"How long does it take to go back and forth to Jiangnan?"
"Hurry up, it only takes seven days!"
"It's been too long, let's purchase in Qingshui County." Li An waved his hand.
Seven days is enough to starve to death of many people.
These common people are of great use to Li An, each of them is a precious asset.
Chapter 6
"But..." Tian Qi hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Li An continued to study the map without looking up, drawing circles on the map with a brush.
"But once the yamen starts to give out porridge, people from all over the world will come to beg for porridge after hearing the news. Although the prince has ten thousand taels of silver in his hand, I'm afraid it won't last a week!"
"The lower officials know that the prince cares about the common people, but this is not a long-term solution to treat the symptoms but not the root cause!"
"That's simple, just don't let people from all over the world come to the county government office to beg for porridge." Wang Hu said casually.
Isn't it just that there are too many people, the prince can't support so many people, so it is enough to support less.
Hearing this, Li An looked at Wang Hu coldly, and Wang Hu trembled suddenly.
He realized he had said the wrong thing.
Wang Hu quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak any more.
"Since porridge has been given out for disaster relief, how can there be any reason to treat them differently?" Li An said indifferently.
"What the lord said is very true, and the general admires it so much." Wang Hu hurriedly patted Rainbow Fart.
Tian Qi also cupped his fists at Li An with reverence.
The prince's strength of character is good, but the reality is very cruel, they just can't support the tens of thousands of victims.
With Li An's consent, Tian Qi had no choice but to send people to the grain merchants in the county to purchase.
Seeing the bags of exorbitantly priced grain being loaded onto the carriage, Tian Qi's heart was bleeding from pain.
Seeing that the grain merchants were grinning to the corners of their mouths, Tian Qiduo wanted to pick up a knife and chop up these profiteers!
This group of bastards who have made a lot of money for the country, it's better not to have a reason to fall into his hands, otherwise one will count as the other, and he will cut them off even if he wants to lose his official position!
On the second day, the Qingshui county government had an extra official shed for soup.
As Tian Qi expected, that night, the streets and alleys of Qingshui County were crowded with victims who heard the news and came to beg for porridge.
It was night, and the wealthy businessmen went to Hongxingfang to be happy and unrestrained as usual.
The sufferings of the world have nothing to do with them.
It's just that the disaster victims in the streets and alleys blocked the way of the rich merchants' carriages.
"Why haven't all these untouchables died yet?" A wealthy businessman cursed, and then angrily yelled at his servants: "Clear the way for me, and kill those who don't leave!"
"Yes!" The house slaves bowed their waists and saluted, and walked towards the victims with clenched fists.
After a while, the crying and wailing of the victims spread throughout the alley, which formed a sharp contrast with the bustling Hongxingfang.
Tonight, Li An came to Hongxingfang again to observe the people's sentiments.
Liu Qing went to do what he told him, so he took Wang Hu, an old pervert, along with him.
Finally happy to be able to go to the brothel, Wang Hu rubbed his hands excitedly along the way.
Originally he was in a good mood, but when he saw the domineering domestic slaves, Wang Hu's face sank instantly.
Wang Hu has a bad temper, he clenched his fists and looked at Li An.
"Look at what I'm doing, I'm waiting for a meal." Li An said calmly.
Having been fooling around with Li An for a long time, Wang Hu also knew what Li An meant by the feast.
Wang Hu smiled charmingly, moved his muscles and bones, and walked towards the slaves.
A house slave was trying to kick a mother and daughter. The woman's face was filled with fear, and the little girl was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying.
Seeing this, the house slave not only showed no sympathy, but instead had a crazy and sick smile on his face.
They have already been enslaved, they belong to the lowest level of people in Dahua, and they can even be said to be inhumane.
Only by bullying those who are weaker than them can their low self-esteem and empty hearts be satisfied.
The woman had no choice but to protect the little girl with her thin body, even she was trembling with fear.
"Dare to block my young master's way, go to hell, pariah!" The slave yelled angrily, and his feet fell down.
"Crack~" The sound of bones breaking was particularly harsh.
"Ah~" A shrill scream echoed through the alley.
It was not a woman's scream, but a man's voice.
The woman looked back in a daze, and saw that the house slave who was about to beat her was already rolling on the ground with his legs in his arms.
In front of her was a rough and majestic figure.
The servants also noticed Wang Hu, and immediately, one by one, they flocked towards Wang Hu, glaring angrily.
"Strong man be careful!" The woman reminded in fear.
Wang Hu turned around calmly, grinned at the woman, and gave a thumbs up.
Immediately, a sternness flashed in his eyes, and he turned and rushed towards the crowd.
Wang Hu is like a beast descending the mountain, every time he punches, there will be blood.
Fist to the flesh, blood spatter.
The domestic slaves who were fierce before were like lambs in front of a tiger, instantly losing their fighting power, and they were beaten to the point of bleeding, unable to fight back.
Li An was standing aside, appreciating the aesthetics of violence with satisfaction. The only fly in the ointment was, who did Wang Hu learn to pretend to be aggressive before starting the fight?
Still grinning and giving a thumbs up, thinking he is handsome?In fact, there is enough soil!
Li An seems to have forgotten that when he first left the capital, he also came to a hero to save the beauty.
After saving the beauty who was about to be taken by the villains, he also grinned and gave a thumbs up, and pretended to say: "Leave it all to me!"
In the end, after the coercion was over, it wasn't him who made the move, he just waved his hand, and the three thousand guards rushed up, scaring the villains to pee before the beating started!
80.00% of the dirt and funny comparisons in his team come from him!
After a while, the group of vicious house slaves lay on the ground and howled.
The wealthy businessman stepped down from the carriage with a gloomy face, and his cold gaze was directed at Wang Hu: "Bold pariah, do you know who I am?"
Hearing this, Wang Hu gave the wealthy businessman a contemptuous look, pointed his thumb at Li An, and said arrogantly: "I don't care who you are, no matter how awesome you are, can you have my king... my son is awesome?"
Just kidding, we are also people with backgrounds!
The rich merchant was distracted, and looked at Li An with a gloomy expression, "I am the son of Li Fu, a salt merchant, Li Qing!"
"I don't care who your grandma is, just beep one more time, believe it or not, I will make your dream come true with my own hands, and make you really blind on the spot!" Li An smiled contemptuously.
Li Qing froze in place, the corner of his mouth twitched, this person has never read a book?
What are they talking about?The nai in his mouth didn't mean grandma?
And what the hell is a blind man?
Achieve dreams with your hands?
Li Qing didn't know how to answer this wave of cross-server chat.
"Nonsense, boy, don't blame me for not warning you. It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Today your men beat my slaves, and you will all die!"
Li Qing gave a warning with a gloomy face.
"Hehe~" Before Li An could speak, Wang Hu smiled contemptuously.
"If you want me to die, I just don't know if you have the ability. The thieves I killed are enough to write a family tree!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Hu had a fierce look on his face.
Wang Hu's breath exploded, Li Qing was so frightened that he took a step back unconsciously.
He also realized that Wang Hu was a ruthless person, so he had no choice but to say a ruthless sentence with a sullen face: "You guys wait for me."
After finishing speaking, Li Qing led his servants and ran away without looking back.
"Thanks to the brave man for saving his life." The rescued woman kowtowed to Wang Hu in thanks.
"If you want to thank, thank my son." Wang Hu still knows the rules, and the credit is all due to the leader.
Hearing this, the woman brought the young girl to kowtow to Li An again.
Li An's expression was neither happy nor sad, and he said slowly: "Such a mess, within three months, Qingshui County will never appear again."
After finishing speaking, he turned around with Wang Hu, and said carelessly: "Good job, I have invited you for today's flower wine!"
"Sir, you are magnificent!"
The backs of the two gradually moved away, and the woman looked at Li An suspiciously.
A girl's doubtful voice came from next to her ear: "Mother, what is flower wine?"
"Don't ask, kids, that's not what a decent person should do!"
The girl looked at Li An's back with a puzzled expression. Aren't these two big brothers serious?
"Ahh~"
Li An sneezed, and immediately glared at Wang Hu: "Are you scolding me?"
Wang Hu was stunned on the spot, and the 1.8 meter tall man pointed his nose with a look of aggrieved and puzzled expression.
No calamity, no calamity!
Chapter 7 Water Conservancy Projects
In the middle of the night, Li An and Wang Hu walked out of Hongxingfang with each other supporting each other.
The bustard's complexion was not very good-looking, but he managed to squeeze out a smile and send the two of them out of Hongxingfang.
No need to think about it, Li An's consumption tonight was recorded in Tian Qi's account again.
"Two catastrophes, please don't come next time!" The bustard cursed after Li An and Wang Hu left.
"My lord, it's fun to go whoring for nothing." Wang Hu burped.
"You understand very well." Li An also had a meaningful smile on his face.
The most carefree thing here is to go whoring for free.
Among the people waiting at the gate of the county government office tonight, besides Tian Qi, there was another beautiful figure.
After Li An and Wang Hu came back, Liu Yiyi hurried over to take Li An from Wang Hu.
"Alas~" Tian Qi sighed, and said loyally: "My lord, drinking and sex will hurt your health. If your lord indulges in drinking and sex all day long, it will damage your virtuous reputation if you pass it back to the capital."
Li An glanced at Tian Qi, and said indifferently: "You know what, fame outside is for others to hear. I, Li An, only live for myself. This king's life creed is just two words, be happy!"
