Qingzhou.
Tang Hao mansion.
"Marquis! Something bad!"
Before people arrive, the voice has come!
Tang Hao, who looked at the grain distribution account book, looked up while listening to the impatient cry.
In front of his eyes, Wu Tong dressed up in patches and hurried in.
"What''s up?"
Wu Tong glanced at Li Zhi and Zhao Limin, who were stunned, then turned his eyes to Tang Hao''s face and said.
"Qingzhou government guards snatched food from the people''s mouths, resulting in soaring food prices."
"Even if there is enough food now, the poor people have no spare money to buy!"
As soon as the voice fell, Li Zhi, Zhao Limin, sitting in the house, and Qi Feng''s subordinates turned white at the same time.
It''s terrible to have no food to buy.
But now it''s a bad thing to have food but can''t afford it.
Rich gentry and tycoons will not hesitate to pay a lot of money. But the hungry people, already poor, can only watch the food for disaster relief be bought away.
Is it not that all the borrowed food for disaster relief was spent on the back of the knife and did not play a role?
Almost at the same time, everyone''s eyes gathered on Tang Hao.
Slowly put down the account book, Tang Hao supported the desk with his elbows, meditated for a moment and said.
"That''s a good thing."
"Now the situation is like a fierce fight between two dogs. Those rich gentry and Hao and Qi Feng, who has the most grain, bite each other. It seems that these fish have gradually surfaced."
"Continue the investigation, record all these officials who sell grain at high prices, and confiscate the corresponding family property after this time."
Tang Hao was relaxed, but Li Zhi, who was sitting on the side, couldn''t hold his anxiety.
He stood up and walked back and forth in the hall.
"This grain has been robbed by these gentry and tyrants. The famine of the people in Qingzhou has not been solved, and the people''s grievances have not disappeared. There is still a chance to investigate these vendors?"
The anxious figure fell into Tang Hao''s eyes. With a faint smile, he stood up.
"Don''t worry."
"This batch of grain is just a cover up. I will give a big gift to Qifeng."
After that, Tang Hao patted Wu Tong on the arm and said.
"Qifeng must have bought the most grain in this batch."
"Still throw grain according to the point and completely loosen the people''s fat and ointment held by Qi Feng."
Although Wu Tong didn''t understand the meaning, his intuition told him that Tang Hao must have a reason for doing this.
As for the gift, Wu Tong was also very curious.
"But Lord Hou, there have been changes in the great Confucian family."
"It is said that many people dug up stone tablets in the fields, which is related to the plague of locusts."
Hearing this, Tang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly sank in his heart.
It was too strange when it happened. It happened that there was a sign when the food price soared. It seems that the locust disaster can''t be delayed any longer.
"Have there ever been models of those stone tablets?"
As soon as the voice fell, Wu Tong took out a slap large stone tablet from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him.
Tang Hao took the stone tablet, and they hurried around to see what it looked like.
The whole body is black and heavy. There are two lines of small ancient seal characters on it.
"No virtue, no filial piety, God insect."
At first sight of these two lines of handwriting, Li Zhi''s face suddenly changed and his heart was shocked.
In the matter of Xuanwu sect, the father killed his brother and forced his father to ascend the throne of the king of the Tang Dynasty.
Isn''t this immoral and unfilial now alluding to my father?
It also linked the locust disaster with the taboos in the palace. There was a sense of fear that the world would not be in chaos.
Zhao Limin''s old face turned pale, his arms trembled faintly, and said.
"This... This is to provoke chaos in Qingzhou!"
The influence of the great Confucian aristocratic family is all over Qilu, with profound foundation, which can not be underestimated.
Its students are all over the world, and its appeal can be seen.
If the plague of locusts is used as an excuse to pour the scourge of this natural disaster on the king of Tang, Qingzhou will not be the only place in chaos at that time.
Tang Hao certainly knew that the stone tablet was deliberately made.
However, the immediate urgency is to solve the problem of locust plague and completely stop it from the root.
Nowadays, the great Confucianism gathers people and the momentum of uniting the people is unstoppable. They simply follow the trend.
Tang Hao clenched the stone tablet in his hand and made a decisive announcement.
"Lord Zhao, you are the governor of Qingzhou. You have a high reputation in Qingzhou."
"It''s up to you to publicize to the people that the imperial court appointed officials, sympathized with the people, entertained the people of Qingzhou, went to a banquet together, and worked together to fight against the plague of locusts."
"Presumably, the great Confucian family will take advantage of your influence to denounce at the banquet. It suits their heart and won''t stop you."
After that, Tang Hao turned his eyes and stared at Li Zhi.
"Qingzhou and his party have traveled thousands of miles. I don''t think we have cooked you a delicious meal."
"This time, you will go with me and take your guards to catch locusts."
After hearing this, Li Zhi stared at Tang Hao and said.
"What is the connection between this delicious food and locusts?"
"What''s more, there are countless locusts all over the mountains and fields in this field."
"Only a few of us can catch the locust?"
Tang Hao looked at the people in the room who were also stunned in place. He he smiled and said.
"You don''t know. Tang''s specialty is this braised locust."
"The color is bright, golden and crisp. The juice flows across the entrance, with a faint fragrance of green grass..."
Before the words fell, the people in the house covered their mouths and noses and retched more than ever.
