There's something wrong with my master.

However, more surprises came.

This year's spring came much later than in previous years, and summer also came later.

When it comes to farming, the four seasons need to be distinct.

There are not many fluctuations between each season, so it doesn’t matter if it comes a little earlier or a little later.

But if a season comes too early or too late, it will be a disaster for farmers.

In the past, when encountering such extreme weather conditions, monks would help regulate the climate.

But now all the monks in the entire fiefdom are in a state of disarray.

When it was time for the autumn harvest, a sudden heavy snow covered the poorly growing rice, and all the mortals in the fiefdom fell into collapse.

These days, every household does not have much food stored, and it is impossible to survive until the next autumn harvest relying solely on the food stored at home.

The price of grain has not risen yet because the government is releasing grain bit by bit.

It is the chief clerks and county magistrates who do these things because they are mortals.

As for people like county magistrates and prefects, they are all cultivators, and now they are all in seclusion.

However, it is hard to say how long the government grain can last.

No one knows how high the price of food will rise when the granaries are empty.

When the Emperor of Zhou learned about this, he just said, "Let him be."

After all, we are brothers.

It is understandable that my senior brother lost the battle and is in a bad mood and wants to vent.

If the suffering people in King Qian's fiefdom could please his senior brother, it would be their blessing.

Anyway, the share is not big and there are not many people.

……

……

The government in Yun Changsheng's small town was also distributing grain.

The person in charge of distributing grain was Lin Yu, who had resigned from the position of Holy Son of the Gu Clan and was now the chief clerk of the county.

At the beginning, the grain was released at a fair price.

Later on, no one could afford to buy affordable food.

Government officials started distributing porridge again.

The porridge was very thin, the line was very long, and the person serving the porridge was very rude.

As the porridge distributed by the government became less and less, and the amount of affordable grain distributed became less and less, the price of grain finally started to rise.

A few days later, a rumor suddenly spread in the county town.

It was said that there was still a lot of grain in the government's granary, but they were deliberately not releasing it, intending to wait until some time later and then secretly sell it at a high price in a private capacity.

One day, the county magistrate was on a tour in a sedan chair. The sedan chair was very luxurious and decorated with jewels and precious stones.

The sedan had a window with the curtain opened, revealing a beautiful lady inside.

At night, the county magistrate went to the largest Yihongyuan in the area and got drunk in the land of gentleness for three days and three nights.

All of his actions seemed to confirm that the rumor was not a rumor.

Until one night, a hole was found in the door of the granary, and someone vaguely saw that there was still a lot of grain inside.

The crowd was completely outraged.

Rumors began to fly, becoming more and more outrageous.

Amidst all the rumors, the county magistrate, who seemed to be living in a world of wine and women, followed Taozi to the outside of the Yun residence in the middle of the night, holding his empty stomach.

Lin Yu also came with Taozi.

The three of them squatted on the steps, holding steamed buns in their hands and eating them happily.

After eating, Lin Yu and the county magistrate looked at the peach at the same time.

The light in his eyes seemed to want to eat people.

"there is none left!"

Taozi screamed, her eyes filled with alertness.

She became a constable to supplement her family income and to help the barbarians who wandered here live a better life.

Instead of using things from your home to feed these two starving ghosts.

The county magistrate felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

It is not good to always exploit your subordinates.

So he turned his attention to Lin Yu again. He was his friend, and it was only natural for friends to help each other.

"Don't look at me. I have already spent all the money I brought from the clan. My father, mother and wife are now just eating steamed buns."

While Lin Yu was speaking, he looked up at the night sky at a 45-degree angle.

If he were still the Holy Son of the Gu Clan, if he were still a Divine Transformation cultivator, he wouldn't have to endure this punishment.

Fortunately, the mountain where the Gu tribe stayed is no longer King Qian’s fiefdom, and the vitality of the ordinary people there is slowly recovering.

Otherwise, he might subconsciously worry about the affairs of the Gu tribe.

"Or, why not lead the troops to rob those gentry?" Lin Yu glanced at the county magistrate who was squeezed in the middle and suggested.

The county magistrate heard this, shook his head, and straightened his crooked official hat.

"Although many of those gentry are mortals, they all have close ties with the monks. I can't afford to offend them."

Although he became the county magistrate by defeating a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he himself was a warrior.

Many monks disliked him.

Gululu.

The three people's stomachs growled in unison.

Taozi moved her butt a little further away from the two of them.

"Brother Yu, I remember you always boasted that you had a very powerful ancestor."

"You said it too. That's just bragging."

"I see. I thought you weren't bragging."

The county magistrate felt a little regretful, as he thought the person next to him also had a close relationship with the monk.

Lin Yu was also helpless about this. Whether it was Lin Xi or the guqin left behind by Lin Xi, the Lin family would not take action unless it was a matter of life and death.

The two of them whispered to each other, and from time to time they looked at the package in Taozi's arms, where there were two steamed buns.

Seeing this, Taozi opened the door, ran in, and then ran out again.

When he came out, the two steamed buns in his hands were gone.

The two men looked at each other with a look of worry.

"Peach."

"Ah."

"In your home..."

"Don't look at me. My sister in the mansion said that if I die, no one will come to take care of me. It's impossible for them to help you."

"Ah~"

The county magistrate sighed.

Get up and go home.

Early the next morning, he still sat in the luxurious sedan chair and traveled around the entire county.

"Corrupt officials!"

"Fuck you, you dog official!"

"I bother!"

There were sounds of cursing everywhere.

Some people were holding rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in their hands, but because of the former majesty of the government, they did not dare to throw them away for the time being.

"When you are alive, you must always have hope."

"Hate is also a hope."

The county magistrate opened the curtain of the carriage and watched everything quietly.

He wanted these ordinary people to believe that there was still plenty of food in the granaries.

In this way, there will be more hope in living.

the other side.

When Taozi went out, she was not so lucky.

Someone recognized her as the county magistrate's loyal lackey. She had just taken two steps when a few rotten vegetable leaves came towards her.

Taozi grabbed the leaf in her hand, took a look at it, and found it barely edible.

He muttered, "What a waste."

Then collect the leaves.

As for the insults in her ears, she simply ignored them.

Yun Changsheng also heard the insults, and he looked up at the eyes in the sky.

He said this as if responding to Yun Changsheng's words that the will of the people is the will of heaven.

"Can the opinions of this mob really represent God's will?"

"If such stupid public opinion can represent God's will, then this world will be miserable."

Yun Changsheng heard these two sentences, but he still couldn't tell whether it was He who was speaking.

Chapter 385: No Use Trying

"If you don't stand high enough to see the whole picture, it's normal to be fooled by others."

For some reason, Yun Changsheng seemed to like arguing with the pair of eyes in the sky.

He said this in a calm tone and looked up at the sky again.

This time, a hint of mockery flashed in those eyes, one black and one white.

Yun Changsheng saw this hint of mockery, which made him more and more uncertain whether it was the person in the sky who was talking to him.

Although this guy in the sky is a jerk, he is not so boring that he always keeps staring at him.

He lowered his head and continued to watch this farce in the world quietly.

The yard was a mess.

Two swords are arguing with each other, and some trees are teasing a monkey.

Only Li Yue sat quietly in the room in seclusion, just like when she was on Four Seasons Mountain, sitting in the wind and snow for several years.

Yun Changsheng walked to the door and sat under the eaves. The noisy sounds in his ears became quieter.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, just wanted to see more."

"Oh."

Lin Xi sat next to Yun Changsheng, supporting her chin with one hand and holding a peach in the other.

She took a bite and then said something.

“This peach still doesn’t taste good.”
