However, as soon as this question was asked, these people immediately had nothing to say, completely like a dumb person, unable to speak.This is really abnormal compared to their heated argument just now.

"Since you adults can't do anything about it? Then why do you think I can't do it this way?" Song Wuya asked with a wry smile.

These people are really ridiculous. They obviously have nothing to do, but they insist on not listening to others.

Sure enough, when Song Wuya said this, the county magistrates immediately began to shake their heads again.

"Although we didn't think of the son's method, it really doesn't work."

Hearing someone's rebuttal, Song Wuya immediately asked, "Why doesn't it work?"

"This paddy field is changed to dry field, how will the people plant it in the coming year?"

If they said other reasons, maybe Song Wuya would think carefully about how to refute them.But for this question, Song Wuya opened his mouth and said, "If we can't survive the famine, if the common people have eaten all the grain they grow, what will they need land for next year?"

Song Wuya's answer directly left the county magistrate speechless.But he didn't have anything to say, which doesn't mean others didn't have anything to say, so he saw another county magistrate raised a question.

"The people here can only grow rice, they don't know how to grow this wheat at all!"

Before Song Wuya could answer, Situ Yi opened his mouth and said, "You don't need to worry about this, I have already contacted farmers who can grow wheat, and I will naturally come back to guide planting when the time comes."

Another question was overturned, but someone continued to ask: "If the money for disaster relief is used to buy wheat seeds, how will the people survive the winter this winter?"

"My official has already told the Emperor Ming to request that the people of Songjiang be exempted from this year's tax. So that they can barely survive this year's remaining harvest. If there is no other way, I can deduct part of the disaster relief money to help They get through it."

Situ Yi continued what he said just now, and returned to the county magistrate's question.

What I didn't expect was that as soon as he said those words, the Jinnan county magistrate suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily, "What?"

His roar immediately made everyone's eyes fall on him.The county magistrate of Jinnan looked at the eyes of everyone and saw the displeasure on Situ Yi's face, and then he realized that he lost his composure.He hastily bowed his fists and apologized to Situ Yi: "Your Majesty, the next official was impatient for a while, and lost his composure."

Situ Yi naturally knew why he lost his composure, so he frowned immediately, waved his hand to indicate that it was all right, and asked him to sit down.

Originally, they could have used this opportunity to force the magistrate of Jinnan County, but they naturally had their own considerations. If this incident made him anxious, he might jump over the wall in a hurry.At that time, if the governor of the province is involved, it will be difficult.So at this time, Situ Yi and Song Wuya chose to let it go.

Situ Yi, the magistrate of Jinnan County, did not pursue what happened just now, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Both Situ Yi and Song Wuya gave them a satisfactory explanation for what the county magistrate was worried about.Now they looked at the two of them, but there was no other problem at all.

"Do you have any objections?" Situ Yi asked immediately when he saw that everyone was silent.

Regarding the method proposed by Song Wuya, all the problems they questioned have been solved, and now if they are really asked to find another problem, they really have no problem.Hearing Situ Yi's question, these people didn't know how to speak.

After waiting for a while, none of them opened their mouths. At this moment, Situ Yi stood up, looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Since your lords have no objections, then this matter is settled. This time you go back, you must We must mobilize all the incumbents and let them go to persuade those people. If any of you fail to complete this task, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

After Situ Yi frowned and watched them say this harshly, he immediately walked out.Song Wuya naturally followed behind him, and the county magistrates all had extremely ugly faces. Seeing Situ Yi leave, they followed him out helplessly.

"Uncle, it depends on whether they listen or not." Song Wuya said to Situ Yi with a smile.

Although it seems that the matter has been satisfactorily resolved at the moment, as for the final result, it is unknown.

After hearing this, Situ Yi was about to say something when he saw Bai Zhuo running over in a hurry. As soon as he saw Situ Yi, he shouted loudly: "Master Situ! Go to the government office quickly, the imperial edict It's here! Hurry up and receive the order!"

The news brought by Bai Zhuo really excited Situ Yi and Song Wuya, even the county magistrates behind were shocked when they heard it, they didn't dare to hesitate immediately, and followed them to the yamen.

Chapter 99 Grain Harvesting

?Chapter 99 Harvesting Grain

"Which one is Master Situ, the prefect of Songjiang?"

A group of people waited to come to greet them in official clothes, but the official who delivered the decree still asked politely.

Situ Yi hastily stepped forward, knelt down in front of the official delivering the decree, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Situ Yi, prefect of Songjiang, come to receive the decree."

"Oh, so you are Lord Situ." The official who delivered the decree did not know why, and said this sentence.

The county magistrates following behind also knelt on the ground, and the official who passed the decree saw this, so he invited out the imperial decree and read it aloud.

"By God, the Emperor Zhao said. This year coincides with the famine year in Songjiang Prefecture. I sympathize with the people and exempt all agricultural taxes in Songjiang Prefecture this year. I specially allocated 300 million taels of disaster relief money, which will be dispatched by the provincial government. Situ Yi, the prefect of Songjiang, reported This is a good recipe for disaster relief. After careful consideration, I feel that this recipe is very good, and I hereby allow the prefect of Songjiang to change the method of planting winter wheat from paddy fields to dry fields. Thank you!"

Situ Yi's face was flushed, and the emperor actually played his memorial. This was the most exciting thing for him.

The official who passed the decree gathered the imperial decree, looked up at Situ Yi who was still in a daze, and asked with a puzzled smile, "Why didn't Lord Situ come to receive the decree? Could it be that his kneeling leg is numb?"

This teasing made Situ Yi react immediately. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and shouted: "The emperor is wise, long live my emperor!"

The county magistrates who knelt down immediately followed suit and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Situ Yi stood up and took the imperial decree from the official delivering the decree, and retreated respectfully. He smiled and said to the official, "My lord is tired all the way, let's go to the mansion to rest first."

"En! No, I have already stayed at the post house." The adult was polite and rejected Situ Yi's kindness.

After hearing the imperial decree, the other county magistrates now had a solid foundation in their hearts, knowing that Situ Yi's method had been approved by the emperor, so they had no objection.

The Jinnan county magistrate immediately stepped forward, looked at the official who passed the decree and flattered him, and said, "My lord is exhausted, and the officials and others have already prepared the food and drinks. I hope you will show me your favor."

Hearing this, the official who delivered the decree frowned slightly, raised his head to look at the sun in the sky, and said with a helpless smile: "This expert, I am afraid that most people have already eaten at this hour. You don't have to With so much courtesy, I'm going back to the post to rest."

After saying this, the official who passed the decree turned around and left.

After watching him leave, Situ Yi turned around and looked at the county magistrates behind him and said with a smile: "Now, who among you is dissatisfied with this method?"

"Understood dare not!"

Situ Yi's question shocked all the county magistrates. How dare they say that they are dissatisfied. Wouldn't that be dissatisfaction with the emperor?

After getting a satisfactory answer, Situ Yi immediately said again: "Everyone, please go back. The thing now is to let the people grab the grain and then turn the paddy fields into dry fields. Once the relief money from the imperial court is released, I will take care of the disaster relief." The money will be distributed, and at the same time, we will purchase wheat grain for you. Jinnan County Magistrate, Xiaohuang Village under your jurisdiction will be run by my master Song Wuya himself, so you don't need to worry about it."

Now everything is going very smoothly, and Situ Yi is full of joy. After telling everyone, he turned to Song Wuya and said, "Wuya, I think you should handle this Xiaohuang Village yourself. That Jinnan county magistrate, I can't quite believe it."

Song Wuya nodded, this is what he wanted too, after all, he came up with this solution, so he can't sit idly by, can he?If things get messed up by then, these people will naturally shift the responsibility to him.

After confirming this matter, Song Wuya is very concerned about this kind of matter, after all, all these are the most important.However, what worried him the most was that the relief money had to go through the provincial government, and he didn't know when the relief money would be released.If there is a delay, I am afraid that their efforts will be wasted in vain.

"Uncle, I don't know when the disaster relief money will be delivered. I think you might as well go to the post office and ask the lord who delivered the decree." Song Wuya said to Situ Yi, even if the disaster relief money arrives now, Then it doesn't matter what they say, but at least they can know the situation, so that they can deal with it when the time comes.

Situ Yi nodded, obviously he also knew that this matter is not as simple as imagined.The governor of the provincial government and the magistrate of Jinnan County had to be suspicious when they came together, and when they went to inspect, the rice fields in the village were destroyed. It was really hard not to doubt that this matter was Not what they did.

No matter what, the current method can only be taken one step at a time.

"Brother Bai, let's go back and make preparations. We will head to Xiaohuang Village early tomorrow morning. We will probably spend a lot of time there."

Song Wuya has no time to care about the things here in Songjiang. The most important thing now is to rush to Xiaohuang Village, let the villagers harvest all the food, and change their paddy fields into dry fields.

Back at the attached middle school, Situ Wen had been waiting for a long time, seeing Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo coming back, but not seeing her uncle Situ Yi, she asked immediately.

"Wu Ya, why didn't uncle come back?"
