The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Only when he reached the entrance of the hall, Jia Lian turned back.

With such a good opportunity, how can I not bring this little girl Qingwen? Let her see the world.

Otherwise, don't you lose face of Rongguofu? After a while, Qingwen really dressed up again, this is what she should look like!

Jia Lian grabbed her soft and weak wrist, "Yan Er, go to Caoyun Yamen to eat a big family!"

Qingwen doesn't know where the Caoyun Yamen is, or who is in it. Since the second master asked him to go, let's go!

She rejoiced: "Is there anything delicious there?"

Jia Lian also said uncertainly: "There should be a lot of things you haven't eaten, right?"

Qingwen said happily: "That slave wants to eat meat!"

"Okay!" Jia Lian fondly scratched her little Qiong's nose, "If they don't give you meat, we won't come out."

Qingwen hugged Jia Lian's arm, "Second Master is the best!"

"That's natural!" Jia Lian and Qingwen sat on the same horse and took everyone to Caoyun Yamen.

In front of the Caoyun Yamen, there is a pair of stone lions that are immaculately clean of alum stone, which is rare in the country.After entering, the scale of the building is magnificent, and the halls and halls are as luxurious as possible. Qingwen tightly held Jia Lian's hand and looked around with her eyes. "So lovely!"

Lian smiled and said: "What is this? When we return to Shenjing, our own home will be really beautiful. Someone led the way, and we walked around to a small building, and the plaque came to Hexuan.

He took Jia Lian to the second floor, turned around the screen, and in the middle was a table of delicious, mouth-watering dishes.An old man with a childish face just stood up and said with a smile: "Jia Bingxian, I have heard your name for a long time, but when I see you today, your demeanor is indeed different. Get windy!

Jia Lian was not polite to him either, although he was the governor-general and a second-rank official, but he was a second-rank general, and he didn't need to nod and bow to him, so he bowed his hands: "Knowing that Lord Wang has food here, I am so grateful, I brought everyone here on purpose."

Ask the Governor of Flowers to signal to the general, "Go and secure the subordinates of Lord Jia."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Then I'm so grateful!" He pulled Qingwen and sat down directly at the small round table, "I'm really hungry, how about we eat now?"

The Governor-General did not expect that Jia Lian, a serious sage disciple from everyone's son, would sit with a girl so ignorant of etiquette.

He suppressed the fire in his heart several times, "Eat it now!"

Also sitting in front of the round table, Jia Lian took a piece of tenderloin and put it in the bowl of Qingwen, who was already at a loss, "Just eat it, the Governor will not mind!"

Qingwen also knew that she was embarrassed, so she just lowered her head and held the bowl, not daring to look at it.

She said something softly, but Jia Lian didn't hear it clearly and asked a question instead.

Qingwen said loudly, "I still want it!"

As soon as the words came out, she felt that something was wrong, and her face turned red with shame.

Jia Lian couldn't help but also embarrassedly said to Lord Cao Governor: "Little girl doesn't know how to behave, please forgive me!"

He casually brought the plate of tenderloin and placed it in front of Qingwen.

In this situation, how can Lord Wang bear it? This is simply humiliation!

Absolutely intolerable shame!

He stood up abruptly and left immediately, "Master Wang, if I have a way to quickly close the breach and restore water transport as soon as possible, will you not care about my rudeness?"

Governor Wang rolled his eyes and smiled: "What did Mr. Jia say? This is the true temperament. I just ordered them to serve a plate of tenderloin."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "I am dissatisfied with your lord, since the lower official came out of the Shenjing, he has not eaten enough food and lodging. Today, when I saw the lord's table, it is called food, and you can throw away everything you used to eat.

Take the loin here, but the taste here is much more delicious than other people's, how is it made? Is there any secret?"

Governor Wang twisted his beard, and the waiter next to him explained to Jia Lian that the reason why the tenderloin is so delicious is because of its different preparation methods.After the pigs are selected, the pigs are kept indoors, and the backs of the pigs are beaten with bamboo poles. "

Jia Lian was speechless, the Rongguo Mansion is rich enough, and there is no such thing!

Next to Qingwen, she picked up a piece of goose paw, she looked curiously and whispered to Jia Lian, "Second Master"

, Why are the goose paws so big here? How big should one be!

The waiter explained: "This is also a different method. You only need to put the goose in a small iron cage first, put the charcoal fire under the goose, and put the sauce and vinegar next to it. The goose will not jump when it is heated. It is several inches thick, and the grease is all in it.”

The little girl who said a few words has no appetite at all, her face is ugly and she is constantly nauseated, and she wants to highlight all the things she just ate.

Jia Lian looked at the delicious dishes on the table, shook his head, the wine and meat smelt, and the road was frozen to death.

It's starving outside, how many pigs and how many geese are going to be slaughtered for this table of food inside? Let's go straight to the topic!

"Lord Governor, if the subordinates resume water transportation, can you lend me a few stones of grain?"

Chapter [-]: The Rongguo Mansion is mortgaged. The governor of the Cao Yun Wang is also panicked. The court urged three times a day to ensure that the Cao Liang arrives at the Shenjing as soon as possible. Although there is no clear statement on what to expect in case, it is compared to the general river Yamen. The door is almost destroyed. Words, every time Governor Wang thinks of it, the back of his spine gets chills.

His eighteenth concubine just got married, so he is now more worried than the newly appointed Governor of Nanhe Pan, who is still ill in Xuzhou, about the river's breach.

It's a pity that after waiting for so many days, the stewards killed the batch, but no one took over. The Governor-General has more than once scolded these people as bureaucrats, not focusing on the livelihood of the people.

Finally, a second stunned soldier came and said that there was a way to block the breach!

Governor Wang hurriedly asked: "What can you do? How many days can you close it? Can you do it in three days?" Jia Lian smiled and said, "Wang Da "Six-Five-Zero" person, even if I can do it, now I have no money and no food. "

Governor Wang immediately said angrily, "Good boy, aren't you entertaining me?"

""

"Sir, calm down!" Jia Lian smiled and said, "Xiaguan is more anxious than your lord! That's why I came to consult with your lord."

Governor Wang's beard curled up, but he finally maintained his demeanor, and said solemnly: "I only discuss with you about blocking the breach?"

Jia Lian agreed: "It's about discussing this! If we don't block the grain, we will not be able to go north for a day, and the disaster relief grain will not be able to reach the disaster area. Therefore, the two of us are not suitable for the river course. Two evils.

Have to worry about the river.Looking at it now, Xiaguan has a way to block it, the adults have the money and the Governor Wang sneered: "You are so brave, you have to make a decision on the grain. Then I might as well wait for the river workers to block the breach. In that case, even if It's not my responsibility for the delay."

Jia Lian spread out his hands, "That's why we don't have to talk about it!" Jia Lian pulled Qingwen, who was bare and did not eat vegetables, "Let's go back, the second master will bake potatoes for you!"

"Okay!" Qingwen put down the table and chopsticks and smiled.

Seeing that Jia Lian was really going to leave, Governor Wang hesitated for a while, and when Jia Lian was about to reach Mendan, he said, "Tell me about your method first."

Thank goodness!

Jia had already decided in his heart that as long as he didn't change his mind when he got out of this door, he would be ruthless against himself.

It's just that the scene may be a little embarrassing by then. Jia Lian suddenly shines brightly.

"As long as the adults can temporarily borrow [-] shi of grain and [-] taels of silver to the lower officials, I promise to block the breach within ten days."

Governor Wang was unmoved, "Then what? Why did you tell me to block it when the time came, and relief was given to the victims, but my grain was gone. You're not going to chop my head off!"

After speaking, he almost shouted.

Jia Lian hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Wang, don't be in a hurry! I'll give you an analysis! Now the master's boats are blocked in the canal and can't move. Even if the canal is open now, it will take a few days to clear it? , My disaster relief food has already arrived. To be honest, isn't it the Lord that your canal food is blocking my disaster relief food? We just need to be flexible, you lend me first, and I will return it to you immediately, the best of both worlds, no one hold up!"

Governor Wang is weighing the disadvantages. In theory, Jia Lian's method is feasible, but the key question is, is the first one worth the risk? Don't think about this. The emperor will withdraw him even if he is not as unlucky as Zonghe, but for the annual income of several hundred thousand taels, he should take the second risk and borrow money. The water field is empty? The third one, he blocked the breach on time, but the follow-up food is still not available, what should I do? The money is a small matter, some of the water transport yamen is appropriated at that time. The support and purchase part is also made up. So, the question now is, "Can you guarantee that the breach will be blocked within ten days?"

Jia went to see the breach in Qingjiang Pu today, and the width of the collapse is [-] feet. If modern technology is used, as long as there are enough manpower and materials, blocking the breach should not be a problem.

"If I come to command and guarantee the manpower and materials, I will be able to block it."

So Governor Wang walked around the room a few times, hesitating whether this kid Jia Lian is trustworthy? "What guarantee do you take? After all, we are not familiar with each other!"

Jia Lian seemed to understand his concerns, "Lord Wang, in fact, I am more anxious than you. If I don't block the breach, my work will not be able to start. The emperor will really cut my head off! If you are worried about my default, I will give it to you. Write a note, and then I will pay you the Rongguo Mansion! How about black and white?"

Governor Wang thought about it again and again, and slapped the table with a slap, "The Governor will believe you first and say something ugly. If you can't finish it, you will flee to the horizon, and I can catch you out and whip your corpse."

"Okay!" Jia Liankong, gloving the white wolf, finally solved his urgent need.

On the second day, Jia Lian asked Tongju to organize the people to carry the grains and finally there was food!

Seeing that the bags of grain were moved out, Huai'an City finally settled down.

Everyone acted spontaneously. Under the leadership of the government, they helped each other. The floods were ruthless, people were affectionate, one party was in trouble, and all parties helped each other.

In a house in Huai'an, several people closed the door during the day and one person anxiously said: "Brother, this dog officer surnamed Jia has moved food for disaster relief, and we really have no chance.Why don't we do it now, rush into the government office, and chop him up."

Someone immediately responded and said, "Yes, we must kill him and take revenge on our brothers!"

"Crack!" There is a person sitting in the middle, do you think I don't want to kill him? But the ten or so of us, isn't it worth it? Huai'an City has no chance, we must evacuate immediately today"

Someone whispered: "Then we have spent so much before, is it in vain? The man in the middle laughed: "How can it be in vain? The east is not bright, the west is bright, Huainan is not good, let's go to Huaibei! I heard that the relief there has not started yet. What! Hurry up, it's still too late. "

"But it's not up to us to start it! Will Boss Bai have a gap at 33?"

"It's all for the revival of the great cause, how can you care about these things?"

"Besides, we are also trying to help him. Could it be that he thinks there are too many people?"

Several people agreed to leave the room and spread out to find a chance to leave.

All to Huaibei!

Jia Lian hadn't had time to interrogate those thieves who lost a chance to sweep the cave in vain. If he could pay more attention, so many unfortunate things would not have happened later.

But none of this has anything to do with Jia Lian.

He has taken over the Hebiao camps strongly at this moment. "Who is for, who is against?"

On one side is a bright sword, and on the other side is silver, it is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm!

Therefore, Jia Lian ordered several thousand people from Hebiao, plus tens of thousands of people organized by the government, to go up the embankment.

Chapter [-] Where there is Sister Lin, it is impossible to transform these Hebiao soldiers, who only know how to fish and meat, exploit and extort them, into hard-working, high-spirited soldiers!

Jia Lian never had this idea, unless he didn't want to kill these scumbags and would rebel in minutes.

Therefore, Jia promulgated the reward, as long as the dam head was consolidated according to the method of the iron-wood-earth-rock combination dam he designed, and the two ends were constructed at the same time.

This method is also very simple to say, that is, first lay down iron rods, wooden stakes, and connect them vertically and horizontally at the final point, and then backfill the wooden stakes with bagged stones and various earthwork to prevent infiltration. All the money is recorded on the head of the Hedao Yamen, and it has nothing to do with Jia Lian when Caoyun finds the river to ask for money!

I believe that the two of them are very willing to increase the debt a little, then double it, and add two to five.

Then Jia Lian accidentally stabs it out again, hehe!

These are the dark side of Jia Lian, don't take it to heart. Under Jia Lian's arrangement, the levee extended more than 21 feet to the middle on the first day! More than [-] taels of silver were distributed on the spot and the next day, it was extended for [-] taels. Ten feet!

At this rate, it can be closed in less than five days.

Jia Lian was not idle either. I don't know who gave him a bad idea. Those who were old and weak, who didn't work, and who could rely on relatives and friends, would be given a bag of grain, and then they would all be sent to the north by boat.

Jia Lian severely reprimanded this kind of beggar-thy-neighbor practice, but actively implemented it.

In the south, there is little food, and they have to work. One less person is a river worker in Huai'an. The relief went smoothly, and at the same time, the grain was distributed to Baoying, the disaster victims in Gaoyou.

Only in this way, the money and grain are being consumed day by day, and Jia Lianqi's southward journey seems very urgent. On the third day, the levee has already closed in half, but the water flow will become more turbulent and more difficult. If you are not careful, accidents will occur and the levee will be destroyed Therefore, the death can only be carried on steadily, slowly advancing the heat on the embankment, but Jia Lian is sitting on the raised shelf, leisurely drinking tea and seeing something is wrong, just send someone to pass it on.
