appeared, and stewing, which consumes less oil, became popular.

The officials who were used to eating bland steamed dishes finally saw the background of the governor as a "son of aristocratic family".

Even insects can be made into supreme delicacies.

Chapter 195 The Elegance of Celebrities (Twenty-two)

The whole insect banquet not only conquered the stomachs of the officials below, making them no longer hesitate when implementing the policy of destroying Huang, but also completely conquered the hearts of the people below.

Locusts are no longer a disaster from heaven, but enemies who want to take away their hard-earned food!

When facing survival, everything can be thrown aside. Farmers who have no money all year round cannot make a delicious insect banquet, but roasting locusts on the fire, the roasted and fragrant meat is still meat no matter how small it is. Most locusts are exchanged for food because they cannot be stored for a long time, and a small part of them go into the stomachs of the whole family.

You Hongyin did not waste the locusts he collected. He dried and ground them directly to serve as reserve grain. He did not know how big the future food gap would be, so he did not dare to waste them lavishly.

Because everyone was united, Gaomi County actually had a bumper harvest despite the double disasters of drought and locusts. Although the yield per mu was indeed slightly less than last year, it was not a big deal. On the contrary, because many refugees were settled, a large amount of wasteland was reclaimed. The government granaries were not only filled, but many new granaries were built.

With food in hand, there was no need to panic. No matter what, You Hongyin breathed a sigh of relief.

But the people of Gaomi County were indeed very lucky. They were not troubled by the disaster, but other places in Qingzhou had problems.

Although the locusts were finally killed in Gaomi County, they had already destroyed the crops in Qingzhou before arriving in Gaomi. Although You Hongyin could foresee the drought and gave a warning, he could not predict the locust plague. Not to mention how many people really made drought resistance preparations, even if they did, a locust plague would make all their efforts go down the drain.

After one season of food disaster and years of heavy taxes, the winter food was eaten up, and the counties of Qingzhou became unstable.

Shan Jian was seriously ill, but he still had to save face. He couldn't hide the locust plague and insisted on opening the granaries to release the grain.

But his words were no longer effective.

In the past, heavy taxes made ordinary people hungry even when there was a shortage of food. Without food reserves, there was no way to resist natural disasters. This severe drought and locust plague can be said to have seriously damaged the vitality of the people and completely left them with no way to survive.

The local nobles naturally had food hoarding, and it didn't matter if they lost a year's harvest. However, some "knowledgeable people" in the state government realized that in today's world, food has become the backing for recruiting soldiers and horses. After equating food and power, they naturally refused to distribute food to relieve the disaster.

The statement to the outside world was that each county also had food reserves, and they could open the granaries first depending on the situation. The granaries of the state government were of great importance and should not be opened lightly.

Originally, this approach was feasible, but officials in the state government valued grain, so did the county governors and county magistrates? Coupled with the loss of granaries, corruption, and the fact that the granaries were originally empty, the affected people did not receive much relief at all, and gradually became irritable.

Some knowledgeable aristocratic families released some grain for relief, but it was a drop in the bucket, and the scope of the disaster was too wide.

It probably lasted until mid-autumn, when some county governments opened their granaries to release grain, but the counties without grain in the granaries could no longer suppress the people's grievances.

At this time, Liu Borgen of Donglai made six memorials requesting the state government to support grain, but they all fell into the sea, and there was no news. He had to borrow grain from local wealthy families, but was rejected.

The untouchables who were hovering on the edge of death and were starving and yellow-faced and thin, rose up under the leadership of Liu Borgen! Taking advantage of the situation, people from the two surrounding counties joined unconditionally, and in just three days, thousands of people were entangled.

They rushed into the manors of the wealthy families to rob food, and then people continued to join, gradually forming a great force!

However, due to the constraints of Liu Borgen and Wang Mi, this force was different from ordinary peasant uprisings. At the beginning, it was disciplined and organized, and generally did not do things to the extreme, but many corrupt officials were killed. In other words, this group of people completely tore their faces with the court.

Soon, this force rushed straight to Qingzhou City, and all the counties along the way fled or surrendered immediately. At this time, Qingzhou Governor Shan Jian died of illness in office, and Qingzhou City was in a state of leaderlessness.

At this moment, Sima Lue, who had been in charge of Qingzhou's military affairs, finally couldn't sit still. He took back the actual ruling power of Qingzhou as a member of the royal family and began to mobilize the army to eradicate the rebels.

However, this man's name is not what he deserves. He is called a strategist but he actually has no strategy. Most of the people in charge of the army are guys with slow flattery skills and negative leadership skills. Sima Lue was confident that it would be easy to deal with the unarmed rebels with a well-equipped army, and he took all the troops to face the enemy.

But no one thought he was wrong.

The intelligence given by the county magistrates who escaped and saved their lives was to reduce their guilt. They all blamed the dead Shan Jian for their mistakes, saying that he was not good at disaster relief and refused to release food. The guards of the county and government offices had no food, so they naturally could not beat the group of people who were starving for food.

As for the fact that the rebels were organized and planned, and even had weapons from the beginning, and later they robbed so many county and government offices, they should have more weapons and equipment, etc., they forgot everything.

Wang Mi's leadership ability is indeed not bad. He trained a group of farmers who were farming with hoes into soldiers who could go into battle to kill the enemy. In addition to Qingzhou's already very tough folk customs, his ability is also a factor that cannot be ignored. .

The two sides met in Zhuoshui and started fighting.

Sima Lue was too trusting, and most of the soldiers in his hands were old soldiers. When he saw the rogues coming straight towards him and killing people without caring, he immediately lost his fighting power and began to think about escaping back to Qingzhou City. The city fights against the rebels.

Suddenly the thousands of well-equipped troops brought by Sima Luo were defeated.

Sima Luo even killed several people but was unable to stop the betrayal. Even he himself was shot from his horse and was carried away by his own soldiers.

Wang Mi would naturally not miss this situation. Chasing the defeated army was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. If he didn't pursue them now, it would be later.

Sima Luo's army was defeated, and there was no news about him at all. It was obviously a disaster.

Then Qingzhou City fell, but this time Wang Mi was no longer soft-hearted and killed many officials and wealthy families, completely destroying the administrative center of Qingzhou.

Naturally, it was impossible to hide the affairs of Qingzhou Mansion from Luoyang. Someone in the Governor's Mansion had already sent a letter to Sima Yue.

Sima Yue now controls Luoyang, but his hometown is in Donghai County. He still needs to take care of the wars near his fiefdom, but he cannot allocate manpower to deal with this matter. At the same time, wars also broke out in Bingzhou, and the grassland barbarians Becoming restless again, a new round of southward sweep has begun.

In fact, it is normal for there to be many wars after natural disasters. Everyone needs to eat, but there is not enough food left for everyone. The victims of the disaster have no land to cultivate and become refugees. The refugees go around causing trouble. In this case, it is natural to pass The war consumes a group of people, and by the way, it can also help the refugees find something to do.

So he started to think about the war in Qingzhou with his wisdom in hand. Now the court is almost his sole authority, and his decision is basically an imperial edict.

Cheng Mu sent someone to kill him before. Sima Yue guessed that Shan Jian sent people to intercept and kill him. You must know that the temptation of being a pastor of a state is really not small, and the Qingzhou clan has basically come to Luoyang. Down. However, Shan Jian, a bastard and a governor, had not continued to serve for a few days, but he fell ill again. He was occupying the pit and refused to give up his position. It was really ugly. I am afraid that Mr. Shan Tao's face would be completely disgraced by these unscrupulous descendants. The family's I can’t even lose face.

Although Sima Yue didn't like Shan Jian's incompetence, he gloated about Shan Jian's misfortune. There was no other way. Although the Sima family was also from an aristocratic family, after his Sima family became the royal family, they completely separated themselves from the noble family, and their relationship with each other was also limited. Good times and bad, they depend on each other and suppress each other. He naturally likes to see those aristocratic families that usually pride themselves on being famous and famous are in bad luck.

But Qingzhou cannot be left alone. There are not many talented generals in the court now. Compared with the remote Qingzhou, Bingzhou, which is also suffering from war, has a special position. Especially Shangdang, guarding the throat of Luoyang, must not miss anything. Therefore, the Qingzhou Rebellion made Sima Yue feel powerless.

But at this time, someone in the clan actually stirred up trouble and wanted to attack Luoyang under the banner of the Qing emperor. Now he was entrenched in Jingzhou and ready to attack. Even if Sima Yue had the army he brought from Xuzhou and the command of the emperor's six armies, Lin Lin Zongzong has no less than 200,000, but he still dare not say that he is sure of victory. The Xuzhou Army can still fight, but the Sixth Army of the Emperor has been raised in Luoyang for so many years, and has long since become rotten, and can only be scrapped together.

Stupid stupid stupid.

Sima Yue became more irritable.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to worry about Qingzhou for the time being. In fact, he had already expected that after many years of military campaigns and a year of disaster, trouble would definitely arise. However, this scabies disease was naturally not as good as the tiger beside the bed and could be dealt with later.

He took another look at the battle report sent to him. It was not that the counties in Qingzhou were without resistance, but many of them came from poor families, but there was a descendant of the Guo family among them. The death letter on the mountain slip was quite interesting to this person. praise.

The more Sima thought about it, the Guo family seemed to have surrendered to him. Although Guo Xi was a side branch of the Guo family, he could still be considered useful.

This guy is cheap.

Sima Yue walked towards the palace.

In the inner palace, the emperor was playing with the maids. ④This ④ work ④ is ④ compiled ④ by ④ ④ Rabbit ④ in ④ online ④ read ④ read ④ netizen ④ organized ④ uploaded ④ to ④

The emperor's name was Sima Zhong, and he was the famous man in history who said, "Why not eat minced meat?" In fact, his brain was indeed not very good, and his mind was always the same as that of a child.

It's just that fools are blessed with fools. Although fate is not up to anyone, Sima Zhong doesn't have too much fear from the deaths that pass by him from beginning to end. In his world, thinking is the most useless thing.

It may be painful to know too much, but if you know less, your life will be happier.

Although Luoyang is now in charge of Sima Yue, he is borrowing the tricks of the regent, which is quite good for the fool on the throne, allowing him to continue to function as a seal.

Soon, an imperial edict rushed to Qingzhou, and the small official who sent the death letter on the mountain slip from the Qingzhou governor's office also returned to Qingzhou with the large army.

The clerk looked sad on his face, but he knew in his heart that the master's plan had come true. This was not in vain for the master and he had wasted such a long time in the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion.

According to the imperial edict, the new governor of Qingzhou is none other than Guo Xi.

Chapter 196: Celebrity Romance (Twenty-three)

Inside Qingzhou City.

Liu Bogen and Wang Mi looked a little anxious.

They naturally received You Hongyin's message. Now he is the legitimate master of Qingzhou. But there is a problem on their side.

Their subordinates are not under control.

You Hongyin reminded them early in the morning that discipline is the only way for them to control this mob, and they must not kill them at will. It was fine at first, but after entering Qingzhou City, the two of them knew that the mob could never last long. Several leaders under their command thought the situation was good and completely forgot the rules that had been set long ago. They actually led people to rob the rich families in Qingzhou City.

Then the desire to plunder became uncontrollable.

Now it is impossible to control this mob to surrender and resolve the war without bloodshed.

The two of them unanimously kicked the ball to the lord. The plan was set by the lord, so naturally he had to deal with it.

As a result, they received a letter with one word: fight!

Liu Borgen looked puzzled, but Wang Mi's eyes were shining.

"Hahaha, no wonder the brothers Cao Lin and Cao Yi praised the lord to the highest level, it turns out that he is indeed a heroic lord." Wang Mi laughed.

Liu Borgen said: "Oh, Feibao has understood the lord's intention?"

Wang Mi was born in a poor family and had no name, but when he was in Luoyang in his early years, he had a nickname, Feibao. Because of his swift bow and horsemanship and extraordinary physical strength, Liu Borgen was very close to him and always called him this bastard.
