little fool's child bride

"No." Xiao Xiao looked inexplicably at the village chief who seemed to relax a little suddenly, "I probably belong to Tsing Yi Villa? Han Yi is my friend."

The village chief was like a thunderbolt, thinking dully that the person who offended this time turned out to be the owner of Tsing Yi Villa, how could he afford the consequences of this delay!I heard that the people in the Jianghu have always used knives in their hands to take people's lives. Could it be that the locust plague has not arrived yet, and the people in their Lijia Village are gone?

"Village head?" Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and pushed the stiff man strangely, then asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?"

As if waking up from a dream, the village chief wiped the sweat that kept coming out of his forehead with a sweat towel, and explained carefully: "There is nothing wrong...Young master just said that Master Han is on the mountain? This is going to burn the locust swarm Is it Master Han's idea?"

"My idea," Xiao Xiao explained seriously, "I was invited by Han Yi to solve the locust plague. The next location of the locust swarm is likely to be in this direction, so we want to get rid of them. Because they are all gathered in the The top of the mountain, so after observing the terrain, we thought it would be a good idea to use fire, and it didn't matter even if it was night, after all, insects like fire."

"The fire isolation, what is the fire isolation belt?"

Xiao Xiao saw a few more people coming up, so she patiently explained their tasks for a while: "The fire barrier is an open space to prevent the fire from spreading in a large area. There are many trees on the mountain. If we just set fire to the locusts, the fire will We can't control it at all, and I'm afraid we will eventually burn the entire mountain. So we need to delineate the area that needs to be burned and control the fire within this area."

As Xiao Xiao spoke, she took a branch and made gestures on the sand for everyone, and all of a sudden the children also surrounded her.Remembering that Han Yi said before that he was looking for locust eggs, he told everyone about the importance of finding locust eggs:

"However, we are only relieving the locust plague, because the locusts are laying eggs at this time, and I don't know how many places these insects have left their offspring. If we can't even remove these eggs, the locust plague will only come back next year, so I hope every Anyone can tell the Han Family Farm about the locust eggs they find, and we will not only send someone to clean them up, but also reward the person who found them.”

"tips?"

The villagers were obviously more concerned about money, so their eyes lit up, and they began to ask Xiao Xiao what the locust eggs looked like, and how much money the Han family farm could give.Xiao Xiao dealt with the questioning from the crowd like a cannonball, and when the secret guard came back with the official, he was almost parched and dizzy.

"These people are so eloquent," Xiao Xiao drank up the water bag handed by the secret guard, "How about it? Did the magistrate agree?"

But before the hidden guard could speak, a sharp voice pierced Xiao Xiao's eardrum——

"Let's see who dares to set fire to the mountain!"

A chubby figure got out of the sedan chair, and he came to the master aggressively, glared around for a week, and then shouted: "The one who said he was going to set the mountain on fire, come out!"

The village chief and others knelt on the ground in fear, and even the ignorant children were pushed to the ground by the adults, and for a while, only Xiao Xiao and the dark guard stood in the crowd.The chubby county magistrate immediately cast needle-like eyes on the two of them, and then stared at Xiao Xiao, who was clearly a child of a family: "That's you?"

"It's me," Xiao Xiao sighed inwardly. No matter how you look at it, this person is not a good person. "We set fire to the mountain to destroy the locust swarm..."

It's a pity that before Xiao Xiao finished explaining, the fat man objected in a high-pitched and shrill voice: "Locusts are god insects, you want to destroy them?"

What god bug?

Xiao Xiao looked at the fat man in bewilderment, as if his relatives had been killed by Xiao Xiao, and asked puzzledly: "I don't know what gods and insects will harm the people's crops and make people hungry. "

However, the fat man obviously didn't understand Xiao Xiao's forced humor, but he said firmly: "The locusts were sent by the heavens to punish us! If we hurt the god insects, then there will only be more severe punishments waiting for everyone! "

The villagers also seemed to be frightened, and their original thoughts of using locusts to make money were also extinguished, and they began to fear that God would punish them for their bad intentions.Xiao Xiao saw that everyone's faces were green and pale, and she knew that her tongue for nearly an hour was wasted. If she couldn't bring the situation back, these people would not only not help her find the location of the locust eggs, but might even Take these so-called "God Insect" eggs home and raise them up.

"Heaven came to punish us?" Xiao Xiao narrowed her eyes, "Are you saying that our current sage made a mistake?"

The fat man stared: "How is it possible?"

"That's why you made a mistake, so God sent locusts to punish you," Xiao Xiao sneered, "otherwise, why are there no locust plagues in the seven counties of Youcheng, and the other six are not plagued by locusts, but your Shangrao County is flooded with locusts?"

The fat man was speechless for a moment, pointing at Xiao Xiao until he trembled with anger. "you you!"

Xiao Xiao shrugged: "Am I right?"

The fat man's basketball-like head was flushed red, and Xiao Xiao was even worried that it would blow up suddenly.But the master came over to help the fat man: "It's not the county magistrate who made the mistake, but the people here. Otherwise, why is the county magistrate fine and the people suffer instead?"

Xiao Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the master with surprised eyes, thinking how this person could take the blame to the people so naturally, and was not afraid of being beaten to death by the villagers here.But Xiao Xiao obviously didn't understand the ancient people, or the people at the bottom of the ancient times had little temper. Even if the master said so, they didn't respond, and even felt that they might have made a mistake.

"The county magistrate doesn't farm the land, so how could he be troubled by locusts?" Xiao Xiao frowned and retorted, "Besides, when the locusts ate all the crops and next year's grain prices rose, the people rioted and died thousands of miles away. Is it okay? Now it's just a precautionary measure, why does the magistrate so obstruct us from doing something that benefits the country and the people?"

"Because you are not qualified," the fat man suddenly became lively again, his face was glowing red, and his smile was greedy, "Either you leave this matter to our government, or wait to go to jail!"

Xiao Xiao felt extremely absurd, and it wasn't until then that he realized that the fat man was actually here to grab credit!It is true that exterminating the locust swarms is a good thing for the country and the people, but if they do it in Tsing Yi Villa, there will be no business for the county magistrate, and the county magistrate will not be rewarded for any rewards.If Xiao Xiao knew how to be a man, she would definitely talk to the county government about this matter first, and then go to Han Yi when the county government didn't want to do it; but because he came back directly with Han Yi, he forgot about it.So if you think this way, the county government should really take over, so that he and Han Yi can save a lot of effort.

But this feeling of being robbed of credit is even more disgusting than swallowing a fly and getting it stuck in the throat. Xiao Xiao saw that the fat man didn't want to leave this matter to him anyway, so she just sneered.At this time, the village chief couldn't kneel anymore, he stood up hurriedly who was sandwiched between Tsing Yi Villa and the county government office, then ran to the county magistrate, and told the magistrate Xiao Xiao's identity uneasily.

"What?" The magistrate yelled out in shock, then pressed his throat and gritted his teeth and asked the master, "Why didn't you tell me this!"

The master swallowed a mouthful of spit, and he waved his hands in panic: "I, I don't know! He didn't say before..."

Now both of them glared at the village chief, who was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground again with a plop.Xiao Xiao couldn't bear their bullying, so she took out another token from her bosom: "I forgot to say earlier - I am the inspector censor sent by the imperial court to solve the problem of locust plague."

The inspector censor belongs to the Supervisory Yuan, and is the supervisor censor sent by the central government to inspect agricultural affairs.The Supervisory Yuan and the Six Ministries are listed side by side. Although the ranks of the officials are not high, they have a wide range of powers, because they are in charge of supervising officials, inspecting counties, correcting punishments and prisons, and purging court rituals.The supervisory censors dispatched by the central government to patrol salt affairs are called patrol salt censors, the supervisory censors who patrol water transportation are called patrol censors, and the supervisory censors who patrol public security are called patrol tea censors.Although Xiao Xiao's inspector censor is only an eighth-rank official with the same rank as the county magistrate, it is not easy for Xiao Xiao to make him unable to be an official——

"I just heard people say, how much more is the tax this year?" Xiao Xiao looked at the earthy fat man and said coldly, "I seem to remember that since the tax system was reformed, the tax seems to be not too much... ..."

The county magistrate and master were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy: "I beg the censor to give us a chance! We will send people up the mountain to help right away, and we will go right away! Please, the censor, please let us go!" Bar!"

Xiao Xiao found it ridiculous to see the two people begging for mercy on their knees without even checking the authenticity of the token. She couldn't help but lamented that in ancient times, having power was simply having everything, and compared with modern times, they didn't care about people's livelihood at all.He suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness surrounding him, because he suddenly found that the future he wanted could not be realized in his lifetime. These people did not regard themselves as human beings. How could officials treat them as human beings?Only then did he understand the importance of universal basic education, because the more he knows, the more likely he is to have his own understanding of the world.

Run a school.

An idea suddenly appeared in Xiao Xiao's mind. He wanted to set up colleges all over the country in Baiyu, so that everyone could learn the knowledge they wanted and live the life they wanted.He hopes that rich and poor will no longer be an obstacle to people's pursuit of fame in this era, he hopes that poor children can also shine in the court, and he hopes that the cultural inheritance of this country will no longer be monopolized by aristocratic families.

"A hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend," Xiao Xiao suddenly ignited a flame, and a strong emotion rolled in his heart, because he determined the path he would take in the future, "I want everyone in this world to have the opportunity to learn..."
