After hearing this, Liu Qing had no reaction. Novels.

He looked at the scarecrow behind the threshold.

Wu Ying obviously stepped on this not standard enough.

It seems that it only hit the back of the foot.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Qing was immediately angry.

He held the teacup in one hand, his eyes slanted, and only glanced at Liu Ying who was paying homage to the ground from the corner of his eyes.

He said lightly: "Oh, how about it?"

This is an understatement.

Wu Ying said: "For the past month..." His Adam's apple rolled, and then said: "The sick are 2,356 people...the dead are 79 people..."

Liu Qingben was drinking tea in an understatement, looking calm and composed.

After hearing this.

It suddenly rose up.

His chest was undulating, his eyes widened, and he stared at Wu Ying fiercely: "What did you say?"

I must have heard it wrong.

It must be.

You should know that because these days, the Ministry of Revenue has been asking for money, and the Beijing has been rumored that entomology can prevent epidemics. What is the so-called disease? It is because worms are sprayed out from people's mouths and noses, and these worms are almost invisible, so there is no way to know if the infected person is infected.

The so-called epidemics are spread by seven or eight out of ten.

Because of this, many people are waiting to watch it here, and because of this, Liu Qing's mind clearly remembers the number of typhoid fever in previous years.

In previous years, at least 15,000 to 20,000 people were infected, but at this time this year, the number of people dropped significantly, leaving only one or two percent, and only 10% of the casualties were left.

Although there are many or fewer typhoid fevers every year, there will not be much deviation, but this year...

The only explanation...is the effect of this mask.

Liu Qing couldn't help but shivered, he lowered his head and looked at his hands.

This is a subconscious action.

Damn...

Could it be that there are countless insects in this official's body?

Based on the theory of worms, since the spread of harmful worms can be eliminated and pushed back, isn’t it proved that the theory of worms is correct?

This worm is simply unaware of it.

But they were actually proven to exist.

This Fang Jifan, even a grandson of the Grandpa, is so powerful?

The most important thing is that this time, more than a thousand lives were saved, not to mention that so many spread typhoid patients are ordinary people. When a disease comes, they not only cannot work, but also have to pay high medical expenses.

This is only one year, and in ten years, how many people are there? This is still only the capital. If the people from the two capitals and thirteen provinces are added, how many people can be saved?

"..." Liu Qing's lips trembled.

He actually rushed towards Wu Ying.

Wu Ying was startled and subconsciously said, "Mr. Fu, what are you going to do?"

Who knew that Liu Qing looked at the void, but passed by Wu Ying.

"..." Wu Ying was a little speechless, was the man in a crazy way?

But the imperial court Liu walked to the threshold, bent down, picked up the straw man on the ground, carefully slapped the dust on his head, muttering the words: "I offended you, I offended you..." Turning back, looking at Wu Ying, Liu Qing's eyes became calm and gloomy.

What a great merit to save so many people.

As the parents at the foot of the emperor, Liu Qing still believed in the study of the cycle of the laws of heaven. The so-called laws of heaven are so clear that they are unhappy in retribution. On the other hand, he has saved so many people based on just one theory. What a great merit.

Not only merit, but also great achievements. This is a merit of helping things. In this process, Shuntian Mansion also exerted efforts.

For example... Shuntian Prefecture did not fear the power of the Ministry of Revenue and tried hard to get the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money and grain for medical students. Otherwise, where would the medical students get the masks?

In a flash, Liu Qing understood the key.

Suddenly, my waist straightened.

"Did the Ministry of Revenue allocate money and grain? What do they mean? The purchase of masks is related to the lives of the people. Can money be bought? What is the court used to do? It is used to govern and protect the people. The Ministry of Revenue is just for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it is full of attention. Especially the head of the Party, this person is really not a thing. I have long disliked him. I will give it a note. If he doesn't give the money, don't blame me for writing a letter to impeach him. When I arrive in front of the imperial court, I have to give up this old face and settle the accounts with him."

Wu Ying was a little confused.

Why is the man who speaks in a bad way?

Wu Ying said carefully: "Mr. Fu, the number of typhoid fever has come out."

"I know." Liu Qing shook his hands behind his back and glared at him, thinking that this guy was very ignorant. Why did he let him become the official of the Ministry of Revenue?

Liu Qing said with a stern face: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and report to the palace. I will write this report myself. Also, please ask Zhang Dutou and Wang Dutou to gather the officers and ask them to beat the gong to the inner city and the outer city to report the good news. Oh, by the way, tomorrow, I will send me a journal of "Qiusuo" for me."

"Students understand, understand..." Wu Ying nodded with the chicken pecking rice.

Looking for journals... Is the mansion reading?

From then on, will the Duke Jun say that he will talk about the worm?

Well... I think I have to order one. After all, after reading it, the Tongzhi, judge, and assistants in the mansion will read it. Besides, I am afraid that the civil servants want to chat in front of Shangguan, and they also need to know the content in "Qiusuo" before they can deal with it...

"Students will do it now."

"Go quickly, don't delay it!" Liu Qing cheered up his spirits. Who could become the prefect of Shuntian? He was not an old fox who had experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom? He calmed down and took out the little scarecrow in his sleeve. The handwriting of the person "XXXX" on him was already very unclear.

Wait for Wu Ying to leave.

Liu Qing was so happy that he held the scarecrow in one hand and pointed at it with the other hand and said, "I have suffered these days. Don't be surprised. Haha, you are so naughty, you are quite strong. Thousands of people have stepped on you and tens of people have stepped on you, but you are not hurt at all. Come on, I will treat each other well in the future. We will respect each other as guests."

As he said that, he took a box solemnly, put the scarecrow in, put it on the desk, then took the pen and ink, lowered his head, frowned, and then wrote!

Fengtian Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi looked down at a report from Dingxing County.

This report was written by Ouyang Zhi himself. This report was very thick and there were a lot of piles. It was said to be a report, but in fact, it was information about all hidden households and hidden fields in Dingxing County.

Ouyang Zhi found that there were as many as 30,000 households, which was nearly 100,000 people, accounting for almost half of the population of Dingxing County.

The hidden fields are even more terrifying. After the new clearance, it was found that there were more than 2 million mu of land that had not been included in the government's governance.

Looking at this number, Emperor Hongzhi took a breath.

The number is so huge.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt like a ray of light on his back.

At the bottom, Liu Jian and others also took their own reports about Ouyang Zhi.

Obviously, Liu Jian and others were also scared.

According to what the above said, none of these more than two million acres of land were built in the government, which means that for the court, these lands did not exist. Of course, there was no need to collect taxes in this non-existent land.

And this... is not the key, the key is that almost all the owners of these hidden fields are gentry of all sizes.

They concealed their own land, and then based on their fame and fortune, almost... all the grains of food did not need to be handed over to the government.

The other registered fields are almost owned by small farmers, and the heavy taxes are all pressing on small farmers who are in a turmoil and in danger of being bankrupt at any time.

Isn’t the refugees in the world come because of this?

Emperor Hongzhi's body trembled, but sighed helplessly.

Liu Jian and others also had numb scalp.

Although they naturally knew what Hidden Hu and Hidden Tian meant, and also knew that this situation was quite serious, they still did not expect that it would be so bad.

The entire Ming Dynasty actually relied on a group of people who were not covered in clothes and could not fill their stomachs. They could barely have a few acres of thin land, but they were maintained by bankrupt civilians.

Liu Jian looked up and saw Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale, so he hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty calmed down."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly became extremely calm. He was silent and said nothing. After a long time, he said: "Ouyang Qing's family is a slap in the face. It woke me up. His mentor said all day long, "Long live my emperor. I am still proud of this Ouyang Qing's family. I have ordered local officials to investigate the situation of hidden fields and hidden households. But today, I know that some of these people have not investigated, and some are afraid that they themselves know that they are shocking. They want to protect themselves and dare not report. Now, Ouyang Qing's family wakes up the dreamer. If it weren't for him in Dingxing County, he was brave and resourceful, and he should use this thunderous means to strictly govern officials, and he would have already figured out the affairs of the county. I still think that the situation is not so bad, and the matter has not been corrupted to such a level..."

Liu Jian and the other two were busy and bowed down: "This is the old minister's dereliction of duty."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "It's my fault, but now, what's the use of saying this? I don't want to hold you responsible, I... don't want to blame myself for this because it's futile. I'm just doing one thing now, supporting this gentry to pay the food together!"

"I sent an order to Ouyang Qing's family to pay food together, and immediately implement it in Dingxing County, so that he would not be afraid. I am his great backer. Even if he made this Dingxing County a big mess, even if he did it recklessly and could cause trouble, I would never retreat."

"And!" A sharp edge flashed through Emperor Hongzhi's eyes: "Issuing an order, Duke Wei will go back to Nanjing immediately and stay in Nanjing; Issuing the order of Duke Qian and the Marquis of Pingxi, and ordering them to be loyal to their duties. Recently, the court's military preparations have been relaxed, so they should also patrol the camps and train troops. The annual sacrifice is over, so that Duke British will not have to go to worship for the time being. He is the central governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. From now on, he will order him to inspect the Beijing camps!"
