The magistrate of Mengjin County is not crazy.

Of course, he would not easily open the granary to provide relief food just because of a piece of calligraphy.

Even if this copybook was really written by the "Saint of Calligraphy", it is absolutely impossible!

However, the development of the situation at this time was no longer under the control of the Mengjin County Magistrate.

Because now outside the city of Mengjin, there are thousands of refugees who have fled from Shaanxi.

This is really terrible!

If it were any other place, the magistrate of Mengjin County would not have said such words as "Mengjin is finished" and turned a blind eye to the refugees outside.

But, this is Mengjin!

Once, King Wu led his army to Mengjin, and eight hundred princes arrived unexpectedly, willing to cooperate with King Wu to attack King Zhou of Shang.

besides.

"The Book of Documents·Tribute of Yu" records: The river was guided to accumulate stones, and it reached Longmen.

Mengjin Ferry is regarded as one of the important achievements of Dayu's control of the Yellow River.

besides.

According to legend, when Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, was being pursued, he fled to the mountains and forests of Mengjin and was guided out of danger by a white deer.

From this we can see the importance of Mengjin.

It is regarded as the emperor's paradise!

However, what if this place was the place where thousands of refugees gathered to cause trouble, all kinds of suffering and sorrow arose, and even terrible unrest occurred among the refugees?

Isn't that a slap in the emperor's face?

Once this matter is reported to the imperial court, it will not only be the official hat of the Mengjin County Magistrate that will be in jeopardy.

The whole Mengjin will suffer!

When the emperor hates a place, the consequences are absolutely serious.

Industry, commerce, agriculture, all favorable policies have nothing to do with Mengjin.

It will become a 'transparent' existence in the territory of the Daliang Dynasty, ignored, forgotten, and... selectively abandoned.

This is nothing short of a horrific catastrophe for Mengjin and the people of Mengjin!

In less than ten or twenty years, this place will become a "ghost town" shrouded in poverty.

How did all this come about?

It's funny because of the 'Anti-Xian Alliance'.

This alliance is composed of a group of "young and passionate" scholars who hate evil.

They chose Mengjin as the location for the alliance, imitating the story of "Eight hundred princes unexpectedly coming to King Wu to form an alliance" to oppose Cui Xian.

At first, the magistrate of Mengjin County did not take it seriously.

Young scholars are most likely to be passionate and impulsive. They often gather together to discuss state affairs and make suggestions on how to deal with the country.

This is normal.

Who, when they were students, had not criticized society and discussed politics in such a naive and wanton way?

Students have no worries about food and drink, but they still engage in keyboard politics every now and then.

But the bad thing is, this is Mengjin!

At the same time, due to the drought in Shaanxi, a small group of refugees came to the outskirts of Mengjin City.

According to the magistrate of Mengjin County, there were some refugees coming and their number was small, so they could just be taken in quietly.

However, this group of young people from the Anti-Xian Alliance, under the slogan of "disaster relief for the people", took in refugees with great fanfare, set up tents outside the city of Mengjin, and provided porridge at their own expense.

They feel like they are doing good.

The problem is, there are so many refugees fleeing!

Upon hearing that there was a soup kitchen in Mengjin, thousands of refugees from Shaanxi excitedly rushed to Mengjin!

There are many rich young men or practical people in the anti-Xian alliance.

At the beginning, they could still cope with it by contributing their own money and effort.

But later.

As the number of refugees increased, there was no way to cope with it. So this group of scholars put pressure on the magistrate of Mengjin County to open the warehouses to distribute food.

But Mengjin County is just a small county. Where would it get so much food for disaster relief?

What's more.

Once disaster relief begins, more refugees will flock to the area upon hearing the news.

With more and more refugees, social security problems such as riots, unrest, and epidemics emerged one after another.

How can the small Mengjin County bear it?

The magistrate of Mengjin County had no choice but to arrest the leaders of the anti-Xian alliance, Qi Huaiming and Ruan Xiude.

This is also why.

The Anti-Xian Alliance is temporarily leaderless, and Yan Siyuan is forced to become the new leader of the Anti-Xian Alliance, and this is an important reason why they are extremely looking forward to Su Qi joining!

Because they need a new leader, let the "dog official" Mengjin County Magistrate open the granaries to distribute food to the people who have fled from Shaanxi!

But the magistrate of Mengjin County knew the importance of the land of "Mengjin", so how could he dare to easily accept a large number of refugees?

If things go wrong, it will not only be impossible to appease the refugees in Shaanxi.

The people of Mengjin will also be plunged into an irretrievable situation!

However, since ancient times, "student movements" have always been the most uncontrollable and terrible events.

The magistrate of Mengjin County did not dare to really arrest all these scholars.

So, he arrested the two leaders of the "Anti-Xian Alliance", Qi Huaiming and Ruan Xiude, and deliberately spread the word:

Aren't you an anti-Xian alliance?

Then if you can come up with better poems, better calligraphy, and better eight-legged essays than Cui Xian’s, I will agree to open the granaries to provide relief grain!

The magistrate of Mengjin County had naturally heard of Cui Xian's name.

Therefore, he felt that this group of "Anti-Hyun Alliance" were just clowns and could not possibly be stronger than Choi Hyun.

These words are nothing but a deliberate attempt to provoke and disgust the Anti-Xian Alliance.

But no one would have expected that the Anti-Xian Alliance would actually come up with a stunning piece of calligraphy that could be said to be at the level of a calligraphy saint!

Since he is the contemporary calligraphy master, how amazing is his influence?

Once the news gets out and the news of the Mengjin refugee turmoil reaches the court and His Majesty is furious, Mengjin will be completely finished!

therefore.

The magistrate of Mengjin County was helpless. On the one hand, he was shocked that the "Saint of Calligraphy" had actually come to Mengjin, and on the other hand, he was furious at the actions of the Anti-Xian Alliance, pushing Mengjin into the abyss of terror.
