The south gate of the city became lively, and officers and soldiers came out of the city in groups, treating Liu Yu and others as bandits in the center. Liu Yu was not inferior to Liu Yu, and the guards were waiting for the battle.

The people do not want to join in such a fun, but many people who were originally watching Jiuzi pass the imperial examination and beat the old cows must not be trapped and must not leave, which has caused more people to gather here.

"Officials, why don't you leave quickly? The officials in the city are so fierce."

Originally, the old man had hope for Liu Yu, but seeing that Liu Yu competed with the people in the government, he could only persuade him kindly.

Liu Yu disagreed and asked, "Old man, are you also from Lucheng?"

"Yes, I have lived in Lucheng for generations. We are a good feng shui of Guanzhong. I have never seen such a disaster for most of my life. There are lands next to me every year. Unfortunately, I was still encountered by the old man when he was alive. It was really a retribution."

In the minds of ordinary people, the gods are supreme. Whenever they encounter disasters, the gods are punishing them. They are free from heaven and are at work.

The old man sighed: "This disaster is not serious. As for Talucheng, the grain harvest this year has been a bad harvest. But when the weather was good in the past, who did not have some reserved food? But these evil officials will not only not reduce taxes this year, but also have to add additional taxes, saying that people should support the people when fighting at borders. Without taxes, the Turks and Tartars will enter our Guanzhong and plunder the people. But in the end, the Turks and Tartars did not see them, and these evil officials plunder the people are really looking at them."

Liu Yu asked in a daze: "The local government did not post a court notice, saying that one place in Guanzhong would be exempted from the collection of money and grain for a year?"

"It's posted." The old man sighed, "But what's the point? The government should collect grain or collect food. There are many civilians who should arrest people. The evil officials said that the court posted the list of documents on the surface. The army still needs to be raised, and the Turks also need to be fought. What should the army eat if they don't collect grain? How to defend our country? Haha, it's a big joke. All the people are alive, so where can we fight? If those Turkish Tartars can take us to live a good life, what will happen if we rob us?"

Chaos will surely arise. On the one hand, the natural disasters in Guanzhong are more important. Although the First Emperor and the New Emperor have repeatedly declared that disaster relief should be the first priority, local officials continue to impose food taxes in order to fill their personal pockets, because if they do not impose taxes, they will have no oil and water to make money. This is the biggest gap between the court and the people, and the orders of the emperor are ineffective.

The first thing the people consider is their own way of life, and their descendants will reproduce. If their lives are gone, talking about integrity and loyalty to the emperor and patriotism will be unrealistic for ordinary people who have not been brainwashed by the Four Books and Five Classics.

Liu Yu said: "After the autumn starts, the drought has also been reduced. Why not go home?"

"Go home?" the old man smiled bitterly, "What family did you go back to? I can't count how many people who were starved to death from the same tribe and village. In addition to the drought, everyone was also happy. Who knows what the unscrupulous official of the court came up with? What to plant... The thing called Nanyang Gan also forced every household to plant. You said that we have been growing grains and grains for thousands of years in Guanzhong. If you don't eat these, can we eat those astringent, spicy and green Nanyang Gan?"

Many people around were listening to the old man's words and all the sounds were in line. Obviously, they did not regard Nanyang Gan as a treasure, but rather the "grass" that the imperial court forced to promote.

Liu Yu was said to be a stupid official, and his face was unhappy. He forced a smile to defend himself and Nanyang Gan, and then said, "Nanyang Gan is just not yet mature, and you can eat it when it is cooked."

"I don't know if I can eat it, but we can't bear it at that time." The old man continued, "Many people in the village have pulled out the seedlings of Nanyang Gang and planted some grains. Then some officials came to arrest people and tortured them, saying that they did not obey the emperor's orders, and many people died in prison. The people felt that they could not survive, so they came out and walked north. It is said that Chang'an City is at the foot of the emperor. We are all the people of the emperor. The emperor did not want to starve us to death and were willing to give us a bowl of rice. After walking for dozens of miles, they couldn't walk anymore. I don't know if it was the evil officials who discovered their conscience or God opened their eyes. They actually put porridge here, and we just kept it here, and it was better to be reincarnated as beasts in the next life."

Many people feel sad when the old man said it was sad, and some women and children even secretly wiped their tears.

This is the current situation of refugees. If you wait for a long time, you will count on your remaining days. Everyone seems to be calculating their remaining days. With this mentality, if the rebels are willing to give them a glimmer of hope, will they still surrender to the rebels?

Liu Yu used to be just an ordinary playboy. He lived his own quiet life and didn't want to care about other people's lives or death. But now he has pushed Su Yan to the throne, and he feels that the people's life and death happiness should be responsible to the end, and such tragedies cannot be repeated again and again.

"Official, you are a good person, go quickly." The old man looked at Liu Yu without saying a word and persuaded him, "This world is not something that you can imagine if you have no worries about food and clothing. Just walk more and see clearly. Don't be so impulsive in the future, otherwise you will suffer a loss."

Liu Yu was thinking about the matter, but he was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled and figured it out. The old man should think that he was a rich young man who had never walked outside the road.

"Old man, don't worry, boy, I like to eat everything, but I don't like to suffer losses." Liu Yu laughed and said.

The people who listened next to him didn't agree. Almost everyone subconsciously glanced at the ten taels of silver in the girl's hand, as if they were saying that you just suffered a big loss?

Liu Yu smiled again and said, "I want to eat some people's losses, but for those evil people, we must straighten our backs and not suffer losses!"

"right!"

Suddenly a strong man next to him raised his arms and shouted, "Why don't we go back! There are people everywhere in the south who can't survive. They just robbed his mother's government. They have food and clothing, and it's better to wait for death here than to wait for death here! Besides, if we capture the son of the evil prefect, he will definitely take revenge on us. If you die one by one, it's better to die vigorously."

The young man was very proud and inspired by his words, many people agreed.

The young man pointed at Liu Yu and said, "If this official dares to arrest the government, he is a hero. Let's regard him as the king and fuck his damn government! I don't believe that Lucheng is a wall that he has made!"

Liu Yu was stunned. Isn’t this a rebellion and a push to be the leader of the rebel? I thought it wouldn’t work, how could he rebel against him?

"Everyone calm down!"

Seeing that the crowd was in a state of rushing emotions, Liu Yu quickly shouted: "Calm down. When the prefect comes out, things will be resolved successfully. It will not be too late for everyone to rebel if they feel dissatisfied."

"Okay! Let's wait for the king's order!"

Nicely, these people have already followed Liu Yu as their leader. They are ready to rebel in one fell swoop after a while of negotiations.

Seeing that the situation was suppressed at least, Liu Yu was helpless. After waiting for a long time, the prefect of Lucheng had not yet come out, and he had escaped first with the news of the wind. If the prefect dared to act rashly, he would definitely not be able to do so. Those who are the leaders of the place are used to charm the superiors and bully the subordinates.

"Official, you should leave." The old man advised privately, "Don't let us do it. We are destined to rebel or be killed. We cannot blame others. You are a noble person and should not go to die with us. I am grateful for your kindness."

"Old man, don't worry, since I am here, I will not let the people be bullied by evil officials again."

Liu Yuzheng said, but someone shouted, "The prefect is out!"

Everyone looked at the city gate when they heard the sound. A middle-aged official riding a tall horse with a goatee hurriedly rode over under the escort of the followers. The prefect named Kang had a relationship with Liu Yu. When the army was stationed outside the city, he had entered the military camp to "work the army" and sent some food, grass and dried meat as comfort. At that time, Liu Yu also gave instructions on local disaster relief. However, Liu Yu did not expect that this person had a superficial one, and another behind his back. From the mouths of these people, he could clearly understand the prefect's character as a person.

When he saw his father come out, the young man tied by Lu Chu'er showed a look of pride on his face. At this time, the crowd was already ready to move, as if he was waiting for Liu Yu's order to rush forward to fight to the death with the people in the government.

Because Liu Yu didn't know whether Prefect Kang knew their identities, he had to stop and watch first. Prefect Kang had already rolled down from the horse before he got close, hurriedly ran forward, knelt on the ground, and said that it was late to greet him.

Then Liu Yu came forward with everyone's surprise eyes, waved his hand and slapped Taishou Kang's two big mouths. The sound was thick and powerful without a single slap. The scene was quiet, which made most people hear these two loud slaps. Only then did everyone realize that Liu Yu's identity was not as simple as an ordinary playboy.

Liu Yu felt satisfied after slapping twice, and then he spoke high and said, "Premier Kang, you are so polite. You can't stand it if you kneel down like this. Why don't you kneel back for you?"

Liu Yu's meaning is also very clear. He is a military general, and Prefect Kang is a local civil servant. There is no conflict between the two sides. No matter how much the difference in official ranks between the two is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Moreover, the etiquette of the Great Sutra Dynasty may not necessarily kneel when he sees the emperor, but Prefect Kang actually kneels when he sees the military general, which is not in accordance with the rules.

But it was obvious that Liu Yu had a lot of pastime tone when he spoke, so he didn't plan to really kneel back.

Prefect Kang said tremblingly: "General, you are a joke. You are the most important minister of the court, the commander of the three armies, and the emperor is the commander of the emperor. When the emperor sees you, he will call you respectfully. The subordinate officials are just a minor official. How dare you stay under the etiquette of the emperor?"

Liu Yu felt comfortable listening to this. He was worthy of being a local official and had to do a lot of flattery on weekdays. Even the original unreasonable reason was understandable to him. The emperor's army and the emperor would have to ceremonial rituals, so he naturally had to rank above the emperor's etiquette, which was to perform great rituals.

Although it sounds nice, Liu Yu did not intend to take advantage of this evil official who harmed the local area. Originally, he was the one who was dedicated to coordinating disaster relief. To put it bluntly, he was the imperial envoy, and had the power to take action first and then report. Now, so many people are watching, it is the best time to punish corrupt officials and make a reputation for the court.

Liu Yu, the people who were looking at him, grabbed Prefect Kang's black hat and lifted it down, and even Prefect Kang's hair was scattered.

"Premier Kang is too tired on weekdays. It is better to pick black veil and find a quiet place to reflect on it!" To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
