The city is closed, the fifth floor of the town north building.

When building the north building of Zhen, the land, sea and air specially made the construction of the conference room rare to be opened.

Almost as Lu Haikong returned to Beifeng, civil officials under Lu Haikong held a meeting rarely. The host of this meeting was Xi Zhicai, who was supposed to be cultivating in the Medicine Garden.

In the conference room, civil officials under the land, sea and air were basically present, and the purpose of their gathering was to discuss the issues in southern Bingzhou.

In fact, this problem was arranged by Land, Hai and Air before leaving. It was originally solved by Wang Jun. After the locust plague occurred, Wang Jun did come forward to solve this problem as soon as possible.

However, both land, sea, air and Wang Jun misjudged the severity of this locust plague. Wang Jun even did not expect that the disaster in a county that the land, sea, air and air told him would spread to several counties in the southern part of Bingzhou, and there were even signs of development in the northern part of Bingzhou.

Over the past ten days, Wang Jun has worked hard to solve the problem of locust plague, but after more than ten days, Wang Jun's only result was to control the locust plague and not allow it to spread to the northern part of Bingzhou. As for the problem in southern part of Bingzhou, Wang Jun has never solved it.

In fact, shortly after the spread of the locust plague began, Wang Jun vaguely knew that the problems in southern Bingzhou were definitely not just the problem of the "locust plague". The problems inside were quite complicated, and he seemed to be unable to handle them alone.

But at this time, Lu Haikong himself was in the [First Emperor's Tomb], and Xi Zhicai, who could have replaced Lu Haikong to take charge of Beifeng, was also recuperating. At this time, Wang Jun really didn't know who to ask for help.

You should know that although the land, sea and air handed over the work of Zhicai to Xun You, he only handed over the work of the intelligence department, and did not give him the authority to take charge of Beifeng, that is, the military and political power.

On the one hand, the land, sea and air have the confidence to save Xi Zhicai, and on the other hand, Xun You has no problem with talent, but he is still a little worse in terms of qualifications.

So this matter was dragged on, until the bad news came from Shangjun not long ago, and Wang Jun could only grit his teeth and ask Xi Zhi to come out to preside over the meeting.

In the conference room, Xi Zhicai sat on the head seat with a pale face, listening to the report from Wang Jun when he got off the seat.

"This time the locust plague began to appear from several counties in the southern part of Xihe County and several counties in the southern part of Taiyuan County. In just over a dozen days, it spread to Xihe, Taiyuan, Shangjun, Shangdang and even the southern part of Shuofang. The entire southern part of Bingzhou was basically shrouded. In just over a dozen days, the crops that were eaten were as many as millions of acres, causing direct economic losses of hundreds of millions."

Wang Jun's face was a little bit ashen, especially when talking about economic losses, Wang Jun's face became even more obvious. This "masterman" of land, sea and air is the most sensitive to financial losses.

The civil officials present did not look very good. Although they did not feel as deeply painful for direct economic losses as Wang Jun, they also knew what this meant to the people in southern Bingzhou.

"Economic losses are not the most serious problem, right?" Although Xi Zhicai, who was sitting in the first seat, his mind was still moving, and he was not slow.

"Yes!" Tian Feng, who was beside Wang Jun, nodded and took over the conversation.

"Although we experienced locust plagues and had economic losses of hundreds of millions, we started to fully plant [potatoes] and [sweet potatoes] in the northern part of Bingzhou in the second half of last year. The grain reserve is still quite sufficient. As for the locust plague, we can calm the people's hearts by exempting taxes and distributing disaster relief grains. Although there are certain losses, they are still within the scope we can bear. But the problem itself lies with those aristocratic families!"

"Everyone knows that the governance in the southern part of Bingzhou is basically dominated by aristocratic families. It was not until last year that we began to arrange our people bit by bit. Since that incident, the aristocratic families in the southern part of Bingzhou were in panic all day long, worried that one day they would follow in the footsteps, and we have always focused on suppression for them, which deepened their fear."

"In addition, we began to arrange the behavior of students from [Licai Academy] in the southern part of Bingzhou, which also touched their sensitive nerves, and felt that this was a sign that we wanted to ban them."

"So after the locust plague, these aristocratic families began to become restless. Not only did they lie to the government orders for disaster relief here, but they were even constantly doing things. They either aroused public anger and waited for an opportunity to clean up our people, or created chaos and prepared to move. What was even more presumptuous is that according to the news from Gongda, the county magistrate of Shangjun seemed to be ready to do some..."

"cough……"

Before Tian Feng could finish his words, suddenly, Xi Zhicai, the head of the seat, coughed, and then his face turned red and even spit out a mouthful of blood.

This sudden scene really scared Wang Jun and the others, especially Wang Jun. Xi Zhi was invited by him. He must be more nervous than anyone else in this kind of thing.

However, when they were about to get up to check on Xi Zhicai's situation, Xi Zhicai waved his hand and signaled them to sit back to their original position. Then Xi Zhicai took out a handkerchief from him and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Don't be nervous, there is nothing to do. Believe in Mr. Hua. He said I still have ten months to live."

As he said that, Xi Zhicai put down the handkerchief in his hand, his face slightly complicated: "But I was a little surprised. I didn't expect you to come to me just for this..."

When Wang Jun heard this, his face became a little awkward, and he subconsciously stood up: "Sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, Xi Zhicai waved his hand to stop him.

Xi Zhicai's mood was a little complicated. He knew very well that the reason why this matter turned out like this was not because Wang Jun and the others were inadequate, but because he happened to be in a headless state in Beifeng at this time.

Lu Haikong ran to break through the dungeon by himself, while Xi Zhicai was seriously ill, while Lu Haikong was not planning to arrange a person in charge, which led to this situation in front of him.

"No, this is not your problem, this is mine, and it is also a lord's problem. If you can, let's talk about this problem, let's talk about this problem. My opinion on the issue of this locust plague incident is to wait and see."

"Watch the change?" Wang Jun was a little stunned: "What does it mean? Shouldn't we send troops to suppress it immediately?"

When Wang Jun was looking for Xi Zhicai, he had already thought about how to deal with it. However, he did not have the power to command the army and needed to pass Xi Zhicai. But he did not expect that Xi Zhicai's response method would actually be to wait and see, which was a bit beyond his expectations.

Xi Zhicai smiled when he heard this and was about to explain.

And at this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened.

"Yo, are you all here?"

As this strong domineering voice sounded, Lu, Hai and Air directly pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in with great strides.

After entering, Lu Haikong saw the blood stains that had not been dried in front of Xi Zhicai at first sight. His face moved slightly and then returned to normal.

On the other side of Xi Zhicai, Lu Haikong, who was strode and pushing the door open, was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on his face. However, before he could say anything, he fainted in front of him...
