Qin Xiang

Gan Luo frowned when he heard Aunt Zhu's words, and began to think hard about countermeasures.The locust plague has spread all over the world, and the situation is very bad. The locusts have gnawed away any grass in severe places, such as the village Gan Luo inspected.If there is no rescue, I am afraid that the whole village will not be able to survive.

Above the imperial court, a decree has been promulgated to encourage those landlords who have surplus food to donate food. If they can pay a thousand stones of corn, they will be able to worship a noble rank. This way of raising their status is much easier than fighting the enemy. Many big businessmen, The big landlords donated grain one after another.With so much food, the difficulties of the country were alleviated.

However, if you want the civilians to survive better, you must think of other ways, at least not to do nothing like before.He still couldn't help but asked again: "Aunt Zhu, is there no way to deal with the locusts?"

Aunt Zhu held the child who was bitten by locusts and was covered in wounds, her eyes were gray, and she murmured: "What else can I do? What else can I do?" The child in her arms woke up leisurely, stimulated by the cold water, Because the pain of the wound instantly turned into a sad face, sobbing in a low voice, the crying was low and extremely fragile.

Gan Luo, who has always been soft-hearted, couldn't bear to watch any longer, and stretched out his hand to his senior brother Qiu Wuxue and shouted: "Senior brother!" Qiu Wuxue immediately understood, evened out part of the food in the bag, and handed it to Gan Luo.Compared with Gan Luo who is too naive, Qiu Wuxue has gone through cruel wars, even if she helps others, there is room for it.

Gan Luo handed over the food to Aunt Zhu. Aunt Zhu knew that this was the last hope for herself and her son to survive, so she immediately accepted it gratefully, and said a good word to Gan and Luo.

Gan Luo and Qiu Wuxue left here. On the way, maybe no outsiders were present, and the senior brother was not easy to speak, Gan Luo finally couldn't help it, and said what was in his heart.

The tall horse blocked Gan Luo's sight, and he became a little careless.He sighed, and said slowly: "Senior brother, I was originally dissatisfied with those people who fought for power and profit in the court, but now it seems that it is because of them that I can know that there are such poor people outside the capital city. It’s a difficult task. I used to think I was very smart, but now I realize that I’m still far behind, and I can’t even cure that child.”

Because Gan Luo helped Qin State win sixteen cities without any effort, he rose from a white body to become a prime minister of Qin State, only inferior to Lu Buwei.His position jumped so fast, I'm afraid many people's eyes are red-eyed.This locust plague, after several operations, was handed over to Gan Luo to inspect the area, so as to isolate the friendship between Yingzheng and Gan Luo.

As for Lu Buwei, Gan Luo was originally his disciple, and he would never allow the other party to come forward to fight him, so he followed suit and sent Gan Luo abroad.He thought about how shallow the friendship of young people is, and if they haven't seen each other for a year or so, it's probably worn out.

Seeing Gan Luo's depression, Qiu Wuxue knew that she was clumsy and tongue-tied, and couldn't say anything to comfort her, so she could only reach out and pat the opponent's head across the tall horse.

Gan Luoyao thought of Yingzheng in Xianyang City, and couldn't help showing a wry smile: "Senior brother, I can assure you, when I go out this time, there must be many people who will slander my brother openly and secretly, thinking of slandering me and my father." Squeeze out the same way as before...but this is also good, anyway, my mother has told me so many times to let me leave the imperial court and live a peaceful life. It's just that brother is too hard to be alone, and I don't want to leave him .”

For a moment, he had mixed feelings, and his helplessness reminded him that everything was gray and white.

"Brother will accompany you." Qiu Wuxue continued to pat the ball, patted Gan Luo on the head twice, and spit out four words.No matter what the junior brother wants to do, he, the senior brother, is his strongest backing.

Gan Luo avoided Qiu Wuxue's big hand, took a deep breath, and adjusted his mood.He used to rely on his own cleverness to always go against the odds, but now that he has suffered a little blow, he is in a bad mood. This kind of mentality is unacceptable.Just thinking about those sages in the past, which one didn't have a rough life?I can't let myself down.

"Brother, I still want to visit other places. It's not enough to just rely on the food distributed by the court for disaster relief." Gan Luo regained his energy and got on his horse, looking full of vigor again.

Qiu Wuxue nodded, and worked hard with Gan Luo.

Although Gan Luo is a Shangqing, there is no ostentation at all when he goes out this time, but Qiu Wuxue can barely act as a guard by himself.In addition, what he was wearing was not rich, but ordinary sackcloth, and the famished victims couldn't help but surround him with green eyes.

The disaster victims gathered more and more, and Gan Luo and Qiu Wuxue were trapped in the center. Even if they were riding on horseback, it was not good to just rush out in order not to hurt others.

Gan Luo carefully manipulated the reins of the horse, sweating profusely from anxiety, but couldn't think of any good way.

At this moment, Qiu Wuxue saw a black claw, grabbed the bundle on the horse's back, and was about to escape outside when no one was prepared.If it is placed elsewhere, I am afraid he will succeed.But with Qiu Wuxue around, he held up the scabbard and knocked on the opponent's shoulder a few times.The other party just yelled, and it seemed that it was in great pain.

Qiu Wuxue raised her eyebrows. She didn't exert much effort just now. His scabbard knocked on the opponent's wrist. Taking advantage of the moment when the burden was released, he hooked it with the scabbard, and the burden fell back into his. hand.With just a few tricks, the surrounding disaster victims were fully intimidated, and they were too scared to go forward easily.

After all, although there are many of them, they are all sallow and thin, and actually have no combat effectiveness.If it wasn't that he couldn't survive in his hometown, who would want to be this robber?

But once a person is hungry and crazy, the desire to live is stronger than ever.They knelt down in unison, kowtowed until blood flowed out, and kept shouting: "My lord, nobleman, let's have some food, we're going to starve to death."

"You are a kind-hearted and kind person. It would be good to give us a few bites and let us live a few more days."

……

Several people pleaded one by one and stared at Gan Luo with expectant eyes.Obviously, compared with Qiu Wuxue, a little boy like Gan Luo is easier to be soft-hearted and easy to deal with.

If the disaster victims came hard, Gan Luo and Luo could still refuse firmly. If they begged so hard, Gan Luo would be embarrassed instead.It was hard for him, who had always been kind, to turn a blind eye to these people.

Gan Luo asked, "Didn't the imperial court issue an edict to distribute rice grains to you? Why did you become like this?"

"Food? What kind of food?"

"Haven't heard of it? Daniel, have you heard of it?"

"No, this kid is bluffing us."

The crowd began to whisper, Gan Luo heard a few ears, and then flew into a rage. Obviously, the court had already distributed food for disaster relief, but when he arrived here, there was no news at all. Who was greedy for such a large amount of food? !He will never allow it!

One of the most prestigious old men among the villagers came over tremblingly. Seeing this, Gan Luo dismounted immediately.

"Is what this little gentleman said true?" asked the old man.

Gan Luo nodded, pursed his lips and said unhappily: "After the locust plague broke out, the monarch immediately ordered to transport food for disaster relief. Because the food was not enough, he also issued a notice that a thousand stones of corn could be exchanged for a first-level title. It stands to reason that the first batch The food should have been delivered long ago. Although it is not much, it can still fill your stomach. The food I prepared myself is not much, and it is not enough for you to eat a few meals."

"I said, I said that your majesty would not abandon us like this. There must be villains who have greedy our life-saving food! But, where should we go to find justice." The old man looked more excited, and said while Wipe away tears.The people around were also a little worried. Their food was gone, and they didn't know whose pocket it fell into. They couldn't get it back, and they were starving to death.

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. I will distribute my food to you first, and then we will go to the city to seek justice." Finally, Gan Luo couldn't help but took out all his food, because His move, several victims burst into cheers.

As for the young men who were originally looking fierce, their faces softened a lot because of hope.Among them, the man who was the first to surround Gan Luo slapped his face with a slap, and said shamefully, "Young Lord, I am sorry for you, I just forced you to hand over the food."

Gan Luo didn't know what these people were thinking. They really didn't mean to hurt others just now, so he didn't pursue it. He simply said: "Forget it, I know you just want to survive. Don't worry, the rest, I will find a way. With the wise lord protecting us, there will always be a way out." He mentioned Ying Zheng in a few sentences, also in order to accumulate prestige for Ying Zheng.

The old man saw that Gan Luo's demeanor and demeanor were not like ordinary civilians, so he asked, "I don't know what to call Mr. Xiao Lang?"

"Boy Gan Luo, Qin Guo Shangqing."

Gan Luo easily threw a bomb, and the victims' legs went limp.This ten-year-old child in front of him is actually the prime minister? !Oh my god, they surrounded a prime minister just now, wouldn't they commit a crime and go to jail.

After a few plops, all men, women and children knelt down, trembling all over, waiting for Gan Luo to deal with him.It was Gan Luo who repeatedly stated that he would not speak up, and several victims stood up anxiously, waiting for Gan Luo to deal with it like a quail.

With the food provided by Gan Luo, the group has solved the problem of food, but it is only food for a day or two.After filling their stomachs, they followed behind Gan Luo, unwilling to leave.

Food is hard to find, and for this sake, grass roots and tree bark have been exploited by locusts and victims, and there is nothing left.Even Gan Luo himself deliberately reduced his appetite.Just when he was disheartened, he suddenly saw himself and Qiu Wuxue's horses. Instead of losing weight, these two horses became smooth because they often ate locusts.

Gan Luo's eyes lit up.
