This sudden flood disaster lasted for three days, and then suddenly and inexplicably receded one day. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no one knows the reason for this, but I don't want to delve any further

The people would only think that the flood was just a natural or man-made disaster, or that some ghost or god was angry. The survivors are rejoicing, mourning for the dead, and worrying about the future

The flood disaster has brought unlimited casualties and losses to Jiankang. If the imperial court does not allocate funds to rescue, then this once prosperous Jiangnan Jiankang will no longer exist

Thousands of refugees will emerge within the dynasty, and even more so, riots will occur frequently, shaking the foundation of the country

Some time ago, it was good to say that since Emperor Zhao Wu ascended the throne, not to mention the construction of a large number of buildings, it is even more absurd and cruel. As a result, the treasury is barren, and it is impossible to extract half a cent. Now, even if everyone in the palace is asked to shrink their clothes and diet and reduce their expenses, they can fill the bottomless pit of Jiankang, which is only a drop in the bucket at most

Ran Min is the biggest official in Jiankang, and the people have not given up their livelihood because of relying on Ran Min

When the flood broke out, Ran Min was not in a hurry, arranged people's normal life and daily life without panic, and handled everything well during the riot. Ran Min has produced great prestige in the hearts of the people of Jiankang, as long as Ran Min is there, the people will have a reassurance in their hearts. They all believe that as long as there is a cultivator, Hou Ranmin is here, everything will be solved

And now, Ran Min, the savior in the hearts of the people of Jiankang, is holding his forehead and meditating on how to fill the bottomless pit of Jiankang

It is also useless to report the disaster to the imperial court. Leaving aside the emptiness of the treasury, even if it is only one or two percent of the appropriation, it can temporarily relieve the urgent need. However, along the way, the disaster money needs to pass through the hands of various local officials for verification and release

Nowadays, there are so many corrupt officials in the court, and they are sent from Yecheng to Jiankang, passing through several large and small cities and checkpoints along the way. There are several officials, big and small, even if each person eats one ingot of silver, it is enough to swallow up the disaster money. What's more, they are all jackals, tigers and leopards

Similar events have been recorded in historical records. When the disaster money needed for disaster relief reached the disaster area, just as the magistrate wanted to deliver the grain distributed by the imperial court, he found that it was full of sand. The magistrate was in a hurry, and when he opened the seal on the box to see if the silver was there, he found that the box was full of stones!

When the disaster money first arrived, the magistrate only inspected the first bag of rice grain and the first box of disaster money, which was indeed real money. But only that box and that bag are real, and the rest are a mix of sand and stones!

When inspecting the disaster funds, the magistrate inspected them in front of all the victims, just to reassure the people and give them hope. But the next day pushed them to despair

Desperate people rioted and brutally murdered the magistrate's family. Their blood exacerbated the anger of the victims, and the screams of grief reached into the sky

Since then, the people there no longer trust the court, and there have been riots. In the end, it was the imperial court that sent troops to suppress it vigorously, so that the foundation of the royal family was not shaken

The records in the historical records are too portrayal, which makes Ran Min hesitate

After thinking about it again, Ran Min still wrote down the rescue application, and indicated: The Jiankang flood disaster is urgent, if the amount is not complete or falsified, it will be beheaded, and the light one will raid the house to show the public. Cultivated Hou Shi Min ginseng

After making all the preparations, Ran Min summoned his personal secret guard and sent him to Yecheng Shihu. The Dark Guard took the order and left immediately

Not long after the secret guard left, a servant knocked on the door and handed over a book-like book, and said respectfully, "Master Hou, today's casualties and the list have been counted, please take a look"

After the flood, not only did the people of Jiankang love Ran Min more, but even those officials who looked at him unpleasantly also changed their opinion of Ran Min and respected Ran Min. However, this is no different from Ran Min, but when they are called, the speed will be faster

Ran Min took the thin child and carefully checked the contents of the thin child

Due to the large number of casualties caused by the flood, the yamen had no choice but to transport the body back for the family to claim. And mark the door number, and when the imperial court disaster money comes down, it will be subsidized one by one

After Ran Min looked at it for a while, he asked the officer, "By the way, when you raided the county prince's mansion, how much wealth did you get in total?"

After the flood waters receded, Ran Min found that the dam burst in the north was abnormal, so he sent someone to investigate the cause. After investigating, it was discovered that the county magistrate was jealous of Ran Min, and while Ran Min was repairing the dam, he did something to the north dam. I want to cause an accident

As a result, before Ran Min could survey the northern dam, the flood came. Caught off guard, he plundered the life of the county master. When he heard that he found the body of the county magistrate, he still held a bag tightly, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and knew at a glance that he was going to escape with the money. The people of Jiankang all spat on him, and the corpses were placed in the corpse claim place, and they all stinked and no one cleaned them up

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver" The official's voice trembled a little when he replied, and when he saw the county master's family, he was almost unable to stand. 200,000 taels! He's never seen it since he was a kid

"Well, let's go down," Ran Min replied lightly

The official was stunned for a moment, and then felt in his heart, "The Hou Ye is a royal family, maybe he has seen the treasury, how can he be as uninformed as a disciple in the market" Thinking about this, the official retired from Ran Min's study

Ran Min rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and sighed silently, "I thought that although the county master was timid, he was also a corrupt official, and his family background would be rich and abnormal, but I didn't expect it to be enough to build a Kang plug between his teeth." And that guy even lost Ruren! Death in the flood is cheap! ’

Ran Min thought of Yin Luren's incident, and felt even more panicked, since the disaster of the flood appeared, Yin Luren has not been seen, and there is no news. But as things stand, no news is the best news. It's just that Ran Min has been a little uneasy

However, it is the current health that is the most worrying. Ran Min had summoned the able-bodied young men among the survivors to deal with the disaster in the north. The only thing Ran Min was thankful for was that only Zhongshan and the north were submerged, and the rest of the land was still intact

It's just that Zhongshan has beautiful scenery, and there are not a few people living at the foot of the mountain. Needless to say, the north side is the most prosperous and dependent area in Jiankang. This kind of addition has also brought great trauma to Jiankang

Ran Min worked hard to deal with the disaster for Jiankang, hoping to minimize the situation

Just as Ran Min was checking the list of casualties, another official walked in and said, "Master Hou, Fan Boyang said he was coming to you."

Ran Min flipped Bozi's hand and paused, 'Fan Boyang? The gentleman? He escaped the flood so desperately.'

"Pass him in," Ran Min said

"Yes," the official withdrew

Not long after, Fan Boyang, who was embarrassed, walked in, with a little girl behind him. Fortunately, Fan Boyang usually does a lot of evil, and the officials will remember him when they die, otherwise, who would have thought that Fan Xiaogongzi, the son of the richest man in Jiankang, would be so embarrassed

As soon as Fan Boyang saw Ran Min, he felt like he wanted to see his relatives, and said aggrievedly, "Master Hou, I finally found you, I thought I would die in the flood."

"I thought I would—" Ran Min muttered

At this time, the aggrieved Fan Boyang didn't hear Ran Min's muttering, and continued, "When the flood broke out, I not only had to worry that I would be buried by the flood, but also guarded against people who wanted to fall into the well, fortunately I met my sister-in-law, otherwise I would really die!" ”

Ran Min was excited, got up and asked, "What did you say!" You've seen Ruren! ”
