Chapter 22 The grain seeds were destroyed

in the royal study.

Shen Tuming carefully corrected the memorial, but his eyebrows always twisted together from time to time.

The chief eunuch on the side quickly stepped forward and put a coat on Shen Tuming, "Your Majesty, the night is getting cold, so be careful about your health."

Shen Tuming subconsciously touched the coat. The material was very comfortable, and he liked the feel as always. .

Then his eyes darkened again, and he threw the memorial in his hand on the table and raised his head, "I don't know how the matter in Hancheng has been resolved. I heard that it's snowing over there again now?" "

Over there? That’s how it came about.” The chief eunuch lowered his head and spoke in a very respectful tone.

Shen Tuming subconsciously picked up the tea cup on the side, put it to his mouth and took a sip, then shook his head with some disappointment.

This tea still tastes better when drank with He Qing.

He put down the tea cup, raised his head and looked outside, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

I don’t know what’s going on with He Qing.

at the same time.

Cold city.

It was clearly June, but white snow fell from the sky.

In a short time, the entire city was dyed silvery white.

The refugees are even more complaining. They don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes. Now God can't let them go.

Some people are gradually unable to hold on.

For a time, the whole city seemed to be enveloped in a sad atmosphere.

Inside the cabin.

"Your Majesty, the heavy snow has begun to fall, and the messenger has also predicted that the snow will only get heavier and heavier in the next few days." Shi Yi had a look of worry on his face, "Now everyone has houses to hide in, but there are too many people. , I can only barely avoid it."

He paused, looked around at the people in front of him, and found that the other people's expressions were not that good, "I can't keep up with the food. If I were waiting for the grain, I guess it wouldn't be that bad. More time."

Now that everyone has finally settled down, they didn't expect God to give them another problem.

On weekdays, the house is just crowded, but if it snows, there is a chill in the air.

If they only relied on the thin fabrics they currently had on them, they would probably freeze to death within a few days.

Some people can't stand the cold weather and are prone to hand sores, followed by a series of problems.

At this moment, He Chaoci was sitting among everyone. On his left was Shi Yi, on his right was Feng Dasheng, and other county magistrates.

Everyone's face was worried.

As soon as Shi Yi finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to He Chaoci in the middle.

He Chaoci's face tightened, "I have a way to eat, but the weather is bad now, so we have to gather everyone together as soon as possible. The old, weak, sick and disabled can be warmed by them, and the rest of the people can move the house. . Use everything you can. "

He is the backbone of everyone now, and he can't panic.

There must be a way.

"Okay, don't look sad. Things have to be solved one by one." He Chaoci clapped his hands, stood up, and pointed at Shi Yi, "Now go hand out the cotton robes, and hold them tight first. Old people and children."

He paused and said, "By the way, since the county government office has always been empty, let all the old people and children go in first, as many as they can, and we will make other arrangements nearby."

Jian Zhengyi said on his face . After a moment of hesitation, "But Your Majesty, that is also the county government office after all. If the emperor finds out..."

He Chaoci turned to look at him and said word by word: "Since the previous county magistrate ran away and vacated the county government office, Now is the time to serve everyone, so why not use everything rationally?"

Jian Zhengyi frowned, somewhat disapproving of it, but couldn't find anything to say to refute it for the moment.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but He Chaoci raised his hand directly with a firm look in his eyes, "No need to say more, if the emperor takes the blame, I will bear the responsibility alone!"

"Your Majesty is not good!"

Someone suddenly ran in out of breath and spoke urgently to He Chaoci.

He Chaoci's face darkened, "What's the matter?"

The visitor looked anxious, "Please go down with me and take a look. For some reason, the grain seeds that were originally planted have been turned over, and the grain seeds are exposed. After a night of heavy snow, it has been..."

He paused.

He Chaoci put his hands on the table and leaned forward subconsciously, "How? Continue?" The

visitor breathed a sigh of relief, "All the grain seeds are now very soft and cannot be used anymore. ."

"What?" Everyone in the room stood up in unison.

He Chaoci rubbed his brows, feeling that things were going up again and again.

Although Chi Ying told him that these grain seeds are not dependent on the weather and can survive as long as they are put into the soil, but the prerequisite is that there must be soil.

He faced Feng Dasheng and gave the order, "Hurry up and take people to arrange the things I just ordered. Everyone else will follow and take a look."

The group of people arrived at the farmland in a mighty manner.

When He Chaoci saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but lift his robe a little, stepped forward, and stepped directly into the soil.

His eyes narrowed and he looked up, and sure enough he saw that the grain seeds that were originally buried in the soil were now exposed.

At a glance, there is a large expanse of crystal white.

Everyone behind him watched him go in, a trace of hesitation flashed on their faces, and they immediately followed suit.

He Chaoci slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, bent down and picked up a grain seed in his hand. With a little effort, he could feel the moisture inside the grain seed.

The next moment, the grain seeds in his hand rotted completely.

It is true that what is already broken cannot be broken any more.

He stood up and looked at the person who had just come to report the news, "Is this the case in other places too?"

The person nodded.

He Chaoci was silent for a moment. In this situation, none of these grains were as good as before.

He looked at it carefully and then straightened up.

"It's strange. The grain seeds were clearly in the soil, so why were they suddenly turned up?"

"Yes, and everything is like this."

Someone couldn't help but whisper.

He Chaoci turned around and said, "He is someone who lives in Hancheng."

Just a moment's thought would tell that these were done deliberately.

Even if it snows heavily, or some small animals accidentally turn over the grain seeds, it may not be the case for everything.

As a result, there is only one explanation, that is, these grain seeds were turned up bit by bit.

As for He Chaoci and his party, everyone wanted Hancheng's matter to be resolved as soon as possible, and they almost stayed together these days.

He has also finished cleaning up the people who assisted the king.

Apart from this, only the people from Hancheng are left.

Shi Yi was stunned, and before he could react, he heard He Chaoci give an order directly, "Go and check!"

He Chaoci's eyes were cold and he couldn't help but raise his voice, "Bring the person here as soon as you find it. According to Nan Xia Legal disposal! "
