Chapter 409: In Trouble
"In our towns and cities, when the tide rises in the rainy season, it will flood over, and even the whole city will be flooded in serious cases, and after the dam is built, the situation will improve a lot, and occasionally it will be flooded, and people don't really care. ”
The shopkeeper's tone changed: "But as soon as the embankment is broken, as soon as the rainy season comes, the sea water will come directly, and the whole city will suffer.
Every time the flood came, some people were killed or injured, and the houses of the remaining people were destroyed, and all their property was lost, and so on and so on, so that not many people in the city wanted to stay here, and they all moved out to find other shelters. In recent years, the sales of our seafood specialties have also been very sluggish, and there are not many people left here. ”
Yang Chun couldn't help but ask: "What about the local officials?"
Tang Yunshu answered: "Yes, the imperial court has transferred so many silver taels to build a dam every year, and now the dam is destroyed and endangers lives, do local officials do nothing?"
The shopkeeper had a trace of sarcasm on his face, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Our terrain is special, and the construction of the embankment needs to be high and thick, and the silver tael required is several times more. ”
The hearts of the four of them were shocked.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the officials here are so disregard for life.
Every year, the silver for disaster relief is allocated in large quantities, but it is not used in practice, so where does the money go?
Everyone has the answer in their hearts.
Presumably, it was all in the pockets of those officials.
It's just that I pity these innocent people.
Tang Yunzhao was silent all the time, and suddenly spoke: "Then shopkeeper, why are you still staying here?"
The shopkeeper showed a helpless smile: "My inner body is suffering from a disease, I have to make money to treat her, I have only this inn left by my father in my life, I can only rely on it to make a living, plus I can make some money by fishing for some seafood in the sea, if I move to other places, my inner family can't wait." ”
"But it's the rainy season, and if you stay here, what will happen to you in the event of a flood?"
The shopkeeper didn't say anything, just sighed.
Several people were very sympathetic to the manager's plight.
Yang Chun suddenly thought that the shopkeeper just now said that the seafood business here was difficult to do, and it was also a reason for the people to move away.
As far as she knew, a small country next to the Great Cloud Country was located in the interior, surrounded by land.
Seafood should be an uncommon thing in neighboring countries, and seafood should be very popular there.
Now, a major change of officials, the construction of a dam, and the use of neighbouring countries to bring the seafood business back to its original appearance will certainly restore the town to its original appearance.
Yang Chun hurriedly told Tang Yunzhao what he thought.
Tang Yunzhao praised this.
On the same day, he sent the matter back to the palace through the flying pigeon message, and ordered Lord Yang to handle the matter quickly.
When the few people left on the second day, Yang Chun deliberately left a few more ingots of silver in the guest room.
Although she can't solve the matter of the embankment immediately, she can at least solve the urgent needs of the treasurer first.
Now I only hope that Lord Yang can send someone who is really useful to rescue the people here from the dire situation.
A few people continued on their way.
Ye Ruiqin wrote a few days ago that they had been found by Ye Hang to avoid being attacked by Ye Hang, and they changed a hidden position overnight.
And along the way, Ye Ruiqin left marks for them.
As long as they follow the markers, they will find the place where the soldiers are encamped.
The four of them followed the marker to a forest.
Next to the forest is a path.
There was a fork in the road, and the four of them didn't know where to go, so they had to stop where they were and look for the mark.
"Look! Is that Yerechin's weapon?"
Qingfeng shouted as he pointed to a sharp weapon.
This secret weapon Tang Yunzhao knew that it was Ye Ruiqin's unique weapon, and he thought that they passed through this forest.
A few people had directions and walked into the forest.
In this forest, lush and green, the trees are intertwined, and the external light is tightly blocked, and there is a bit of an eerie atmosphere for a while.
And the trails are criss-crossed, and if you are not careful, you will get lost.
The four of them wandered around for a long time, watching the sun slowly set, but they couldn't find an exit.
Tang Yunshu was a little scared and grabbed the corner of Yang Chun's clothes.
"Chun'er, we haven't found an exit after walking for so long, this forest is a bit evil, you said there won't be fierce beasts in this forest, right?"
As soon as the words fell, I could hear a wolf howl in the distance.
Tang Yunshu's whole body trembled.
Everyone stopped.
As Tang Yunshu said, there are all kinds of fierce beasts in this forest, and no matter which one they encounter, it is extremely dangerous for them.
It was almost evening, and if they stayed here like this, it would be even more dangerous at night.
An anxious look appeared on Yang Chun's face.
At this time, Tang Yunshu shouted: "What is that?"
The other three looked in the direction she had said.
Finished.
Several people's hearts sank.
I saw that in the lush place of the forest, a huge thing suddenly appeared.
It's a tiger!
The tiger paced slowly, its eyes fixed on them, and approached them with a bloody jaw.
These people, in the eyes of that tiger, should have been in the womb for a long time.
Tang Yunshu was so frightened that he couldn't speak, leaning on Qingfeng's arms and shivering.
Even Yang Chun, who had always been calm, was pale at this time.
Qingfeng and Tang Yunzhao had serious faces, blocking in front of them.
The tiger suddenly attacked them!
I saw it take a leap forward, directly pounced on the location of the four people, and grabbed them with a pair of tiger claws.
said that it was too late, Qingfeng and Tang Yunzhao hugged the women beside them and rose into the air.
When Yang Chun and Tang Yunshu were placed in a safe position, the two fought with the tiger.
They took out their knives and stabbed the tiger.
But the tiger skin was thick, and ordinary swords didn't hurt it at all.
The two of them found the weak paw of the tiger's foot, and every time they attacked, they went to the paw.
Back and forth, the soles of the tiger's feet were dripping with blood, and the pain stimulated it, and it seemed to be angry and attacked Yang Chun.
Tang Yunzhao and Qingfeng hurriedly picked up the two and fled to the tree to hide.
When the tiger saw that they could not help it, he was angry and wailed under the tree.
"Not good!"
Tang Yunzhao stood on a high place, and he took a look at the scene in the distance of the forest.
"The tiger is moving too much! It has awakened all the other beasts in the woods! ”
Qingfeng's expression was grim.
One tiger is enough for them, and now there are a bunch of fierce beasts, and they are afraid that they will really die here.
They could have stayed in the trees, but ......
Looking at the more and more beasts gathered under the tree, Yang Chun bit his lower lip tightly, and trembled to say Qingfeng's concern: "We can stay here forever, but there will always be a day when we run out of ammunition and food......
The meaning is self-evident.
All four of them waited with straight faces.
