Chapter 186

The steady stream of internal energy has relieved a lot of fatigue, and I really want to just fall asleep like this, without thinking or doing anything.

Li Mo is very curious, what is this internal force, I feel that it is inexhaustible, inexhaustible, at my age, do I still have a chance to learn it?

Originally wanted to ask Huangpuxuan how to learn this internal force, but he never asked, because there are too many things at the moment.

There are still a lot of things to do, such as appeasement of the villagers, statistics of losses, and the elimination of the eggs left by these locusts, otherwise this place will become a breeding base for locusts after a while.

Li Mo stood up abruptly, she was so exhausted, her body swayed when she stood up, but fortunately Huang Puxuan had quick eyes and quick hands, and supported her.

Looking at Li Mo with a tired face, Huang Puxuan was heartbroken: "It's getting late now, let's talk about something tomorrow."

Li Mo shook his head: "I can't rest now. All the villagers are at a loss. As a county magistrate, the people are still standing at the top of the field. How can I sleep?"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Huangpuxuan watched Li Mo's back as he walked further and further away.She admired this tough woman even more in her heart.

Under the moonlight, Huangpu Xuan's face was as noble as a quiet lotus, and Li Mo was surrounded by a gentle smile like the sea.
"Mo'er." Huang Puxuan murmured to himself, with a faint sparkle in his eyes, a mellow and pleasant voice, with a man's sea-like deep feelings.

"You have outstanding talents, you are dedicated to the people, and you seem to be fearless, but in fact you are the person who is the least able to protect yourself. You have been helping others, but once did you actually think about yourself?
But have you ever thought that you are also a body of flesh and blood, and you are just a mortal, but you put all the burdens on your shoulders.

Since you don't know how to plan for yourself, then I will plan for you. Since you can't take care of yourself, then I will take care of you.

Mo'er, since I met you, you can't get out of my heart anymore, and I won't let you go. "

"I want to restore your status as a woman. I will buy you a big house, open a big business, be your backer, and make you a lot of money.

Taking you to travel in the mountains and rivers, you can eat delicacies from mountains and seas every day, wear silk and satin, and live a carefree life. "

"You will become the most powerful businessman in the Jin Kingdom. You will have countless mountains of gold and silver. You can act as a domineering and domineering one. If someone dares to bully you, he will definitely be killed."

"Your dream is to continue to be an official, then continue to be an official, even if you are a first-rank minister, you can choose the official position as you like."

Li Mo didn't know anything about Huangpuxuan's so-called heartfelt words, she was very busy now.

This time, the loss in Songjiang County was a bit serious, but it was not the worst, because it was informed two days in advance that the villagers rushed to harvest rice day and night, and the front and back of the house were full of unthreshed rice.

Stopping all the locusts in Songjiang County, this feat can be said to be unprecedented.

The villagers lamented that they were too great. The locusts passed through so many towns and were not wiped out, but they were intercepted in Songjiang County.

Not a single living locust could fly out of Songjiang County, of course this is an exaggeration.However, what is certain is that 90.00% of the locusts died in Songjiang County, preventing the recurrence of large-scale locust disasters.

While killing the locusts, the crops under the locusts also suffered.

In other words, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred.

This time the locust plague was actually not very large, otherwise it would be impossible to kill all these locusts with these people and [-] soldiers in Songjiang County alone.

If we say that in the place where the locusts occur, everyone unites and hunts and kills the locusts wherever they go, it is impossible to cause a large-scale disaster.

Of course, we can’t blame the common people or the government. In this era of underdeveloped communications, locust plagues occur in one place, but other places don’t even know how to give early warning, let alone organize people to fight disasters.

If Huangpuxuan hadn't told Li Mo, Songjiang County would not have been able to make preparations in advance, and could only watch helplessly as the locusts crossed the border, turning into a bare scene everywhere they went!
First in Wangjia Village, the villagers looked at the black locust corpses all over the field, and couldn't help but feel sad, how will they live in the future?

Some women have already begun to cry sadly: "God, how do you let us live in the future, please have pity on us."

Village Chief Wang sighed: "Don't cry, it's getting late, it's time to go home."

What can the village head do? The locust plague came, and the rice that his family had not had time to harvest was basically wiped out.

Someone scolded the sky: "God, are you blind? Can't you see the suffering in the world? Why don't you have any sympathy? If you don't give us a way to survive, it's drought and locust plague. What should we do in the future?"

Someone saw Li Mo approaching with sharp eyes, and hurried forward: "My lord!"

When the villagers saw the backbone approaching, they all ran over in a hurry, and said to each other: "My lord, what should we do?"

"My lord, our hard work for the past six months has been in vain. How can we live? There are still so many people in the family who need to eat, and we are finally looking forward to a good harvest this year. There is drought and locust plagues. We can't live on."

Li Mo comforted everyone: "Everyone, don't worry, the Yamen will not just sit idly by. You have to trust me. Any difficulties are only temporary. As long as we work together, we will be able to rebuild our homeland.

We intercepted the locust plague within the scope of Songjiang County, which shows that the people of our Songjiang County are very great. You are heroes, you are the heroes of the Jin Kingdom, you don’t know how many Liming people you have rescued, I am grateful for heroes like you be proud.

It's been a hard day today, and everyone is exhausted.

Get a good night's rest at night, and all post-disaster reconstruction work will start tomorrow.

The village head will start counting the losses tomorrow, and the yamen will allocate funds uniformly as funds for post-disaster reconstruction!

In terms of food, you don't have to worry, the Yamen will also distribute according to the population.

Everyone must have the courage to live. This little disaster will never defeat us.

Don't forget, everyone, we have reservoirs in Songjiang County, and we will start opening the gates to release water tomorrow. "

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, there was thunderous applause at the scene.

I have never heard that the Yamen will give money, and it will be in place tomorrow.

In the past, after major disasters, the imperial court would send imperial envoys to provide relief.

However, very little or even none of these disaster relief funds and food actually reached the hands of the common people.

Now the yamen pays out of their own pockets to carry out post-disaster reconstruction for the villagers. Everyone deeply feels that having a good county magistrate is better than anything else.

Li Mo confessed that everyone must burn all the locusts tomorrow to avoid future troubles.

The only advantage is that these locusts can fertilize the fields after they are burned to death, so I can only comfort myself in this way.

After that, Li Mo kept running around in various villages.

In all the villages, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. Wherever they were in the mood to go home, they finally returned home weakly under Li Mo's persuasion.

The starlight is shallow and the cool breeze is blowing!
Huangpuxuan forcibly pulled Li Mo onto his horse and put him in his arms.

Li Mo's tone was cold: "Huangpuxuan, what do you want to do?"

Huang Puxuan frowned slightly, his face was silent, and he said slowly: "Sleep for a while, and I will call you when we arrive."

Li Mo looked around: "Brother, do you think it's really okay under the eyes of everyone?"

There are a lot of people here, and the people from the yamen are still following behind. They have been seen, and they don't know how to face them tomorrow.

Huangpuxuan patted Li Mo's shoulder lightly: "I feel fine, sleep at ease."

Li Mo wanted to fight, but couldn't beat him, so he had to accept his fate.

Looking around with a guilty conscience, he found that the people walking beside them were all from Huangpuxuan, and the people from the yamen had long been isolated behind.

That being the case, don't do unnecessary struggles, you are really exhausted, leaning on Huangpuxuan's arms, and slowly fell asleep.

When Li Mo returned to the yamen, it was already midnight, the yamen was still brightly lit, and the master was still waiting for Li Mo's return.

In the face of a catastrophe, there is no rest at all!

Before dawn the next day, Li Mo had already woken up. It should be said that she hadn't slept at all. She was always in the study, and Huangpuxuan was always with her.

Huangpuxuan was not idle either, he had already presented to the court, the locusts were wiped out in Songjiang County, he was a meritorious official, and the people of Songjiang County should be rewarded, this reward is very practical money.

Li Mo looked at Huangpuxuan's memorial and suggested, "Can you remove my name?"

Huangpuxuan's eyes twitched slightly: "Why?"

Li Mo shrugged: "I'm afraid I'm too good. The emperor took a fancy to my talent and accidentally transferred me to the capital. He just gave me a position like minister or prime minister. You say I'll go Well, or not to go?"

Huangpuxuan smiled slightly: "Do you think it's so easy to get a first-rank official position?"

He knew Li Mo's thoughts, he didn't want to leave Songjiang County, he just didn't want the world to know her identity as a daughter, so why not help her like this.

The next day, Li Mo learned from Song Min that a large group of people hurried over yesterday to help catch and kill locusts.

The leader was Magistrate Ma of Wenshan County, who brought some of the people from his county.

Li Mo was very surprised: "Wenshan County?"

It never occurred to me that someone would come to help.

Song Min said truthfully: "Yes, and according to the information we have received, among all the county magistrates, only Ma County Magistrate of Wenshan County followed your advice and immediately asked the people to take away the rice early. Of course, there are losses. Yes, but compared to other counties, it is already very good, and many places have basically no crops."

Li Mo could understand that those people didn't listen to their advice, after all, her level was on an equal footing with them.

If it was an order from Prefect Liu, they might listen.

Some people may ask, why not ask Huangpuxuan to give orders?

If it was the order from Huangpuxuan, they might be very confused, why did Huangpuxuan issue this order suddenly? Did he come as an imperial envoy again?

At this time, what they thought was how to flatter Huangpuxuan, and then they would take care of the life and death of the common people. It would take a lot of time to go back and forth like this, and they missed the best opportunity to snatch it up in vain!

Li Mo thought for a while, then looked at Master: "Master, let's see how much money is left, let's support Wenshan County."

"Yes!"

Master is not stingy at this time, knowing that he has done Songjiang County a great favor, he should reciprocate!
Post-disaster reconstruction work is being carried out one after another, and the water in the reservoir has begun to be released.

From the outflow of the reservoir to the ditch, and then to the forks of each village, there will be government servants patrolling day and night.

Now when water is in short supply, the upstream people will be selfish and block the water, and only after they irrigate all the fields themselves will they release the water to the downstream.

It will lead to downstream, there may not be a drop of water, and the best planting time will be missed.

In order to ensure fairness and for all villagers to cultivate, people must be sent to supervise.

...

There was a severe drought everywhere. At this time, incidents of vandalism and looting happened from time to time. For the sake of safety, Li Mo stopped the business of all shops.

All personnel from logistics companies and trading companies should come back as much as possible. If the situation is really dangerous, don’t come back, just stay in the store and don’t go out.

Money can be earned at any time, but if life is gone, what is the use of earning too much money.

Moreover, most of the shop is full of girls, they can fight a little bit, but they have no resistance at all in the face of those vicious people.

Besides, many people sell their sons and daughters in order to survive, and smashing, smashing and looting are nothing at all.

Bai Jinxuan and Boss Fang both wrote to tell Li Mo that part of their business had stopped and all orders were postponed.

Now that the city gate has been repaired, if there is an emergency, close the city gate and everything will be fine!

But what about the village?They are also the people of Songjiang County, and their lives and properties are also respected.

Therefore, in each village, Li Moyou sent yamen servants to conduct patrols at [-] o'clock, and the villagers also spontaneously organized to join the patrol team. We must ensure the safety of the villagers' lives and property!

...

People far away in Songjiang County don't know that the drought is already serious.

People in many places have already begun to flee the famine, and there are families fleeing with their families everywhere. Everyone is walking forward with solemn expressions.

Wherever we went, the rice fields became bare and lifeless, in stark contrast to the vitality of the past.

The victims had no food, and the relief from the imperial court was unknown when it would arrive.

It is impossible to sit at home and wait to die, so we have to go to the capital or a rich place.

The people fleeing famine did not see any green plants along the road. The more they walked, the more desperate they felt, and they felt that there was no motivation to live in this world.

All the people were sweating profusely as they walked, especially the children, who followed behind their parents, holding hands with big hands and tears in their eyes.

...

However, Jin State is destined to be a year of unrest this year. At the beginning of August, the border of Jin State was suppressed by the armies of Liao, Chen, Yan, and Zhao, and the war was on the verge of breaking out.

As the coach, Huangpuxuan had to go to the border.

It was already midnight when Huangpuxuan received the news.
