The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Chapter [*] is more serious than expected "Who is Qingwen?" Xiaoyue looked blankly at Jia Lian and Jia Lian immediately turned over and dismounted, she couldn't help but hold the dirty Xiaoyue on the horse and be with her, " I changed my mind, and you will follow me from now on."

Xiaoyue pulled the horse's mane nervously, her face panicked, "Benefactor, I can't ride a horse"

Jia Lian sat behind her, with one arm around her and the other holding the reins, "You want to call me Er Ye, remember!"

Jia also did not expect to meet this girl outside Xuzhou City, which is hundreds of miles away from Shenjing.

Apart from fate, it can no longer be explained by science.

"You are Qingwen!"

Whether it is or not, Jia Lian is so sure of "Second Master!" Xiaoyue's little head has not yet reacted, and she can only feel the whistling wind in her ears, and there is a name "Qingwen".

Jia Lian galloped south along the Yellow River.

There are more and more refugees on the way.One by one, they walked with difficulty, some had not eaten for several days, and would stop breathing after taking two steps, and some could not sit still and just lie on the side of the road.

It has been more than ten days since the Yellow River burst, and all of them are able-bodied young people who can get here. Even they are 21 years old. It can be seen that the old and weak women who are still in Huainan and have not been able to get out, I am afraid that there are already starved to death. Especially now that the weather is getting hotter day by day, there will be a big epidemic after the catastrophe. If it is allowed to spread, the Jianghuai area will bear the brunt.

The closer he got to the Huaihe River, the more solemn Jia Lian's expression became. He stood on the north bank and looked southward.

"It's been so long, hasn't the gap been blocked yet?" Jia Lian lost his voice.

An old man with a cane walked past.

He raised his eyelids and looked at the group of gorgeously dressed people, "Everyone with money has run away, who would think about blocking the breach?"

Jia Lian asked respectfully: "Old man, did the Yiyuan from Hedao and Fuxian County not do anything?"

The old man said, "Do you have anything to eat?"

The newly renamed Qingwen handed a cake she was reluctant to eat to the old man.

The old man took it, tore half of it and put it into his arms, and gave the other half to Qingwen, "You can keep it, little girl. Grandpa only needs so much to leave it to my grandson to eat."

Jia quietly waited.

The old man sighed, "Where is the government office? Just when it broke, the officials of Zonghe and Huaian Shanyang were still organizing the transfer of the victims and preparing to block it. Pingguaner, half of the officials in the He Gongyamen were killed, the prefect was dismissed, and the county magistrate was also beheaded. Now it's all in chaos, who dares to manage?"

Jia Lian was dumbfounded. At first, he was happy for the emperor to kill these worms that harmed the people. It turned out to be causing trouble for him.

"I heard that the court did not send another official to relieve the disaster?"

The old man glanced at Jia Lian, "I hope they will come to help the disaster? When all the people here have run away and died, they may arrive."

Jia Lian looked at the vast expanse of whiteness: she only felt that the future was extremely gloomy.

He took two cakes from Jia Rang's hand and said to the old man, "The relief from the imperial court has come.

Eat it for your grandson!"

With tears in his eyes, the old man said, "No need, when the flood came, he went to the neighbor's house to play, and he hasn't come yet."

Jia Lian silently watched him leave alone.

Qingwen asked in a low voice, "Is his grandson gone?"

Jia Lian did not speak, took Qingwen's hand to the ferry by the river, and found a boat to transport the victims.

A man who looked like a river soldier urged the victims to get off the boat, while still drinking, "Ten copper coins per person, hurry up! I really want you to give me money when I want you to get on the boat."

A group of them came to the side of the boat.

The river soldier glanced at them at random, and then shouted, "You guys can't make it through, anyway, you have been eaten in the past, why don't you sell it to me for a tael of silver, how about it?"

Jia smiled and said, "Although there has been a flood, this place is near the south of the Yangtze River, and there is enough food, how could there be no food?"

The river soldier sneered and said: "It was originally like this, but it didn't flood the river, it washed away the river, and the water can't be transported up. This is the first heavy, the next heavy, the water flooded the treasury, the water warehouse, even the food in the south of the Yangtze River. It is piled up into a mountain, and there is no money, who will send it over? In the end, the emperor cut off the most suitable ones, and the rest can’t hide, who dares to do anything?”

Jia Lian asked again: "Brother, it seems that you are an officer under the General River? Why don't you supervise the river workers?"

The Hebing sneered, "Where is Zonghe now? Seeing that you are from other places, I will tell you that the former Zonghe has become a product, neither hanging himself nor doing anything, so he locked himself in the yamen of Qingjiang Pu Yamen. Biaowu Battalion didn't care, just let the sheep go, only those who are smarter like me can drive a boat to get a side business, and the others are not bad if they don't do water bandits."

Jingwen spat at this time: "Aren't you also a water bandit? Everyone is in trouble, you still want them to pay!"

"Hey! You girl!" He Bing said angrily: "You have never seen a real water bandit, you will die if you don't give money."

Jia Lian didn't bother to talk to him at the moment, "This ship of yours has been requisitioned by this official!"

"Ben... this official?" The river soldier's tongue began to roll, and in their horrified eyes, Jia Lian changed the Yifu suit to the red skylark tonic. The river soldier and the surrounding victims knelt down one after another.

Jia Lian wanted to give an uplifting speech, but he didn't bring any grain of food.

The boat undulates in the swift river.

Jia Lian was also from the south of the Yangtze River in his last life. He was used to seeing the wind and waves, but he was still cautious, for fear that he would not be able to sit still and feed the fish. Lian's official uniform, and immediately reported back, the official disaster relief officials of the imperial court have arrived!

Poor god!

A originally lifeless city of Huaian finally had hope of recovery.

When Jia Lian walked into Huai'an City, the water had not yet receded, and some potholes were still several feet deep.After the flood, many sundries were not cleared, and even dead livestock and poultry were not buried.The people on both sides had dishes, and when they saw Jia Lian coming, they came to both sides of the road and watched silently.

This silent stare made Jia feel solemn. The situation here is more serious than expected. "Ah!" A scream came from the line, "You can't rob my things, this is the last point."

A man is robbing with a knife, "Let go, or I will slash you with a knife"

Jia Lian rode his horse to the intersection, and the family members swarmed up and tied up the robbers.

"Why are you robbing?" Jia Lian asked, "Who are you?"

Jia Lian suddenly caught fire, pulled out his waist knife, and chopped off his head, "This officer and soldier prepares Jia Lian, remember to tell Lord Yama, who killed you."

Jia Lian's knife was still dripping with blood, and he said coldly, "Who has the final say here?"

A man in a cyan official uniform came out, "Huai'an convicted Yang Shichen that he has seen the adults!"

Chapter [*]: Someone must be tricking the entire Huai'an government office, and now only the sixth-rank pass judge has the highest position.

Since there is no prefect for the time being, Jia Lian will openly occupy the prefect's yamen: "Yang Tongju, how is the situation in the city?"

Yang Tongjuan shook his head: "Master Jia, it's very bad that day and night at the mouth of the big river, Er water suddenly poured into the city, and the officials and people in the whole city could only climb on the roof. About two-thirds of the people were missing, and two-thirds of the ten scattered to other places. , are still in the city now, but three to four percent more serious is that the treasury is exhausted, there is no silver, grain, and supplies, even if you want to save it, there is nothing you can do."

Jia Lian frowned, "Could it be that there is no food at all? After a few days, the food in Jiangnan will arrive at Yang Tongjuan and sigh: "Master Jia, there is really no more.If it wasn't because Xiaguan poured cold water, the food was blocked in Yangzhou and could not get there. If the breach was not blocked, at least the river course would be stabilized. With this flood of water, how could the grain fly over? I am dissatisfied with the adults, starting today, the Xiaguan's family will also be out of food. . "

How to treat the river? If the river is not treated well, Laozi will have no food to help?" According to what you said, Laozi also asked Jia Lian, staring at him, "I'm here to relieve disasters!

Yang Tongjue nodded and said, "That's true!"

Jia Lian said angrily, "Didn't the court appoint a new Governor of Nanhe? Where has he gone?"

Yang Tongjuan squeezed a smile, "News from the north, Governor Pan fell ill after arriving in Xuzhou."

Jia Lian asked again, "Where are the prefects of Huaian and Shanyang?"

Yang Tongjuan cupped his hands and said, "It is estimated that they are all walking slowly on the road! It is obvious that this is a pit, and no one wants to come first. Naturally, they can delay and get sick. The adults who come are the fastest!"

After receiving the relief, it turned out that I was the only one who was an idiot? What other officials are there in the city?" The student Jia Lian slapped the table on the table, "I came here from the capital of the gods and the night, for fear of misjudging Yang Tong's sentence and replied: "There are also Lord Wang, Governor of Water Transport."

Jia Lian waved his hand: "Let him take care of it! What kind of relief will I get if I have no food and no money?"

Yang Tongjue quickly persuaded: "Master Jia, calm down, the Cao Governor doesn't care about the river work, nor the local governor, he just stares at the Cao Yun 々々."

Jia Lian sneered: "He is very relaxed and pushes it cleanly. He can target several thousand people. There are people robbed in the city, so don't ask?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Now that the water can't be transported, where are his grains?"

Your Excellency, don't you want to have the idea of ​​water transportation? This is the emperor's food!" Pai Yang Tongjue's heart tensed, "When the flood came, several ships were overturned, and now the canal is lined with "Okay, okay! Jia Lian waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about this, there is no food in the treasury, so there should be some silver? Yang Tongjue shook his head, "The treasury was soaked, and people were originally sent to guard it, but the prefect was removed, and the The prefect of Hetong was killed several times, and no one took care of him. "

Jia Lian looked at Yang Shichen in disbelief, "Is it gone?"

Yang Tongjuan spread out his hands, "It's really gone, if you don't believe me, you can go check it out."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "According to what you said, in the past ten days, there are people in Huai'an Mansion who are lawless!

Lord Yang is the head of the land, you must know who they are, right?"

Yang Tongjue hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I know a little bit."

"That's good!" Jia Lian patted his arm affectionately, "Don't feel guilty, if we don't take a little action, we will have nothing to eat today! Go and gather all the yamen.

Yang Tongjuan gritted his teeth and turned around.

Next came a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he saw Jia Lian, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Xu Chaoyong, the commander of the Huai'an Battalion, kowtows to Lord Bingxian"

The military commander Dusi is of the fourth rank, but he still has to kowtow in front of Jia Lian.

The importance of reading can be seen in general.

Jia Lian did not treat him politely, and asked directly: "How many scumbags do you have in the Huai'an camp? scumbags? Xu Dusi didn't dare to get angry, he lowered his head and said, "There were five hundred sergeants in the camp, and now there are only about three hundred that can be found. many people. "

Jia Dao: "You gather all the officials, the sooner the better!"

Xu Dusi was a little embarrassed, "Sir, many brothers' families have long run out of food, can you allocate some money?"

Open the silver!

Jia Lian complained about the decay and backwardness of the army in feudal society!

"Now that there is an old man in the treasury, I will give you money to buy mouse meat to eat?"

Xu Dusi accompanied him with a smile: "I don't know what the adults do, although the canal is blocked, but other counties are still not flooded, and there will always be food that is not afraid of death. It is more expensive, and it will not despair.

Jia Lian took out a stack of votes from his arms, "I have some money, but I can't bring it up, or else you will each tear a corner back?"

Xu Dusi had never seen so many bills before, and his eyes were all green.

Each person will pay you [*] taels of silver for an hour, and they will all gather at the government office and listen to Jia Lian: "I'll give you three hundred taels first, buy some food for the brothers, and tell them, "Follow the military orders of your lord!"

Xu Chaoyong went out immediately after receiving the votes. When he sent them out, Jia Lian put his feet on the desk and gradually fell into deep thought. The most urgent thing now is to stabilize people's hearts. Food is easy to get, but money is hard to get! There are [*] ways, but they can't be used in special moments. Special methods must be used!

It's a pity that the emperor cut down the corrupt officials early in the morning, and Jia Lian once again suspected that someone was deliberately harassing him.

A pair of small hands beside him lightly beat on Jia Lian's legs.

Qingwen, who had cleaned up and changed her dress in the back hall, really had a watery waist, shaved shoulders, and a tall figure. She looked much more beautiful than others.

On her body, she was wearing a rose-red pair of fronts, a scarlet embroidered sweat towel, a vermilion neckline tied with a ribbon and a front jacket, and vermilion silk trousers, which were very delicate and beautiful.

Luckily, the human tooth only needs two taels of silver, and this figure looks at least two hundred taels of silver, right? Cough cough, distracted and smiled: "", why don't you rest? I'm afraid my legs won't be able to walk in the past two days, right? Qing Wen Hong (Wang Ma Zhao) sneered, "This slave has never ridden a horse and feels like her bones are falling apart."

Jia Lian instructed, "For the past few days, you will stay in the house and outside, and I have no time to spare. Let Xing'er accompany you."

Qingwen spat: "Second Master, I won't stay in this cage! I'll go wherever you go."

Jia Lian looked her up and down, shook her head and said, "No, it's too dangerous!"
