It turned out that the two secret agents set up by the imperial court in Tianshui lived in the city mansion.

In the earthquake last year, two secret agents were stunned by the falling tiles on the roof, and they came to their senses and quickly reported the information to Chang'an with the flying pigeon, and then went separately to find out the news, and then wrote four messages to send out.

The epicenter of the earthquake was in a village six miles away from Tianshui City, and the entire village was directly sunk into the ground, and none of the villagers survived.

The Yun clan, which was less than three miles away, lost that the house was built sturdily, and only half of it collapsed.

The old patriarch and the old lady of the Yun clan were killed, and the rest of the clan seriously injured eighteen people, seventeen people who had died and saw the corpses, and twenty-five people who were missing and might be buried in the ground.

The walls of Tianshui Mansion were old, unrepaired all the year round, and all collapsed, and the officers and soldiers defending the city had no time to avoid being stoned to death.

It was noon, and the people in Tianshui City were having lunch, most of them at home, and the houses collapsed, killing many people.

Ninety percent of the officials of the entire prefecture died in the earthquake, and very few survived.

For example, today, the yamen of Shuifu is in a state of paralysis, and the ability of the highest-ranking officials in the Governor's Mansion to survive is limited, and the development of disaster relief is slow.

The imperial court sent the crown prince He Yiyang, the prince Li Bing, the prince Li Yunqing, and the prince of Tianjin County to lead 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Tian family army to escort food, clothing, and medicine to the disaster relief, and ordered the city governments of Longdi to prepare for the collection of the victims of the flood.

He Jingyan fell into deep thought, and said loudly for a long time: "Come on, immediately summon all the officials to the hall of the main courtyard of the palace." ”

Li Jingjing was talking to Li Yunxiao, and a subordinate came and said that it was He Jingyan who asked Li Yunxiao to go to the hall of the main courtyard to discuss important matters.

Li Yunxiao got up and said, "Sister, you asked me a lot of questions just now and made some good suggestions. You might as well come with me to the main courtyard, and we'll discuss in the hall, and you'll listen in the side hall. ”

Li Jingjing, as the princess who protects the country, does not violate the rules of the court when she is involved in politics, so she will go with her immediately.

Soon, the hall of the main courtyard of the prince's mansion was full of officials wearing official robes with serious faces in Jincheng, except for a few officials who had been ordered to go to other counties and townships to do business and had not yet returned, the rest of the people had all arrived.

Seeing He Jingyan's expression, the officials were extremely solemn and even sad, and they didn't know what was going on, so they didn't dare to come out.

He Jingyan told the contents of the imperial court's message, and then under the shocked expressions of the officials who were shocked and the imperial court reacted quickly to the point of disbelief, they discussed how to settle the people in the fiefdom.

Li Jingjing sat in the side hall and learned that the disaster of the Tianshui earthquake was very serious, and the number of people who died and disappeared was 30% of the Tianshui earthquake during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, and the analysis of the magnitude of the earthquake was almost between 7 and 8 on the Richter scale.

Among the medicines she sent, there were 4,000 catties of hemostatic powder, anti-burning powder, anti-aging powder, pain-relieving and blood-activating ointment, etc., as well as some very precious medicines, including 300 half-dead pills, 10 life-saving pills, and 2 life-sustaining qi ginseng pills.

She muttered to herself, "Those medicines should have been delivered to the victims by the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army. I wonder if the officials in Tianshui will do what I said to prevent and control the epidemic. ”

Half an hour later, most of the officials in the hall dispersed, and only a few were still talking to He Jingyan about important things, and when they saw her coming, they saluted one after another.

These people were all people Li Jingjing knew well, so she came over and sat down and made a few suggestions, and said, "Lord Wang, our fiefdom is short of people, this time we have to think of leaving all the victims to settle down and increase the population." ”

Ma's eldest brother said: "Princess, the prince just decided to provide houses, land, and farm tools to the victims. ”

"These other cities can also provide them." Li Jingjing had already thought about it all just now, and said: "The first thing is to solve the household registration, so that they can become the people of the fiefdom and have a sense of belonging, and then provide what the prince said just now, plus interest-free loans, and free school for children aged six to eleven." ”

He Jingyan looked around at a few people and said, "The princess said that the interest-free loan and the free school were mentioned to you before this king. ”

Qin Er served as a county magistrate in Liuyang County for a few years, and later served as an official in the Hunan Provincial Governor's Mansion for a few years, and he was very clear about the needs of the people, so he said: "Lord, if you add these two items mentioned by the princess, as long as the disaster victims enter our fiefdom, they will definitely not leave." ”

Wang Haoran opened his mouth and said: "Lord Wang, princess, these officials in the world have roughly calculated, the amount of silver required for interest-free loans and free schools is as high as more than one million taels, and if you add the resettlement of disaster victims, it will reach two million taels of silver!" ”

Before the Jincheng Academy was built, Wang Haoran had an excellent talent for business, and temporarily served as the accounting officer who managed the entire fiefdom.

These days, He Jingyan has spent more than 300,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to more than a year's commercial tax on the Silk Road in the three cities of the fiefdom.

As an official in charge of money, he must remind He Jingyan and Li Jingjing.

He Jingyan received Li Jingjing's acquiescing eyes, and his heart felt like he had taken a reassuring pill, so he said: "Haoran, don't worry about the money." ”

Li Jingjing continued: "We have set up a temporary medical station at the junction of Jincheng and Dingxi, and all the people who come from the disaster area must be inspected, and only those who have no epidemic can enter, and those who have been cured can be released." ”

The oldest of the officials here are Ma's eldest brother and second brother, who have been officials for many years, but because they have no experience in receiving disaster victims, they did not expect this.

He Jingyan nodded and said: "Now that it is almost summer, the weather is getting hotter, there are too many deaths in the earthquake area, and the officers and soldiers have no time to be incinerated, which is most likely to cause a large-scale epidemic." Plagued victims must not be allowed to enter the fiefdoms. ”

The officials looked at each other and said in unison: "Epidemic prevention is the most important thing to receive the victims this time." ”

Li Jingjing said seriously: "Leave this matter to me." ”

Li Yunxiao proudly said to several officials: "My sister is the great pharmacist of the God of Medicine, and her medical skills are also very good. ”

He Jingyan patted his second brother-in-law on the shoulder and said approvingly: "It's best for the lady to do this." ”

Li Jingjing said: "I am going to send He Ping, Zifeng, and Guangming Zi to send doctors from the Jincheng branch of the hospital. He added: "He Ping and Zifeng's medical skills are very clever, and my senior brother Guangmingzi has experience in treating epidemic patients in disaster areas. This matter is hosted by them, which should be twice the result with half the effort. ”

Several officials, including Li Yunxiao, were assigned tasks just now, so they retired to do things.

He Jingyan went to the study to write a letter to the imperial court to report on the practice of welcoming the victims. Li Jingjing went to the pharmacy.

In a large Zhuangzi with a simple appearance at the foot of Baita Mountain on the bank of the Yellow River in the suburbs of Jincheng, the people of the Yun tribe branch had already learned from the message sent by the officials of Jincheng that the Tianshui earthquake, the old patriarch and the wife of the old patriarch of the family had died, and the rest of the people had suffered serious casualties.

In the ancestral hall, several elders of the branch presided over the meeting, and all the people, including the daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law of the family tree, were present, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing and sad.

"In the past, the local city government had the incident of the earth dragon turning over, and it could not be transmitted to Chang'an for ten days and half a month. This time, it was transmitted to the imperial court in half a day, and it was transmitted to Jincheng in one day. ”

"Right now, it's not about the court's good ears and clairvoyance, but how to save the family!"

The reason why the Yun clan branch was able to walk sideways in Jincheng, and even influenced every important decision of local officials, was completely dependent on the full support of its own family.

They deeply know that if their family is finished this time, the glory and wealth of the branch will be gone forever.

"The governor of Longdao is dead, and Tianshui Mansion will be in chaos. The Tianshui garrison is a bunch of waste, waiting for them to save the people of their own family, and the cucumbers and vegetables are cold. ”

"The Jincheng garrison is not much stronger than the Tianshui garrison, otherwise the horse bandits are rampant within a radius of hundreds of miles from Jincheng?"

"The most powerful army in the entire Longdi is the Tiger Ben Army, and the number of the Tiger Ben Army of King Yan is matched with two horses. This is four hundred miles to Tianshui City, and the Tiger Ben Army can run to it in one day on a Hun fast horse. ”

"Less than a month after King Yan arrived in the fiefdom, he beheaded dozens of officials, four of whom were our relatives."

"My father was killed by King Yan, and his body was buried less than ten days ago!"

"My second brother died at the hands of King Yan."

The howls of more than a dozen people drifted through the ancestral hall, making the hearts of those present even heavier.

After several elders of the branch discussed in a low voice, the eldest one spoke: "Don't cry, now it has come to the moment when the life and death of our family and our branch are at stake. Although King Yan is at odds with us, if he agrees to send troops to Tianshui to save his family's people this time, this enmity will be over. ”

So half an hour later, eleven people from the Yun clan branch rode to the main gate of the Yanwang Mansion, and after handing over the post, they were unexpectedly invited to the main courtyard hall by He Jingyan.

"Lord, please accept our respect." The oldest old man in the branch was full of silver threads, because he had climbed the mountain with the monks in the Baita Temple of Baita Mountain all the year round, and he had a long and healthy life, and his face looked more than ten years younger than the old man at the age of eighty.

He Jingyan helped the old man Yun with both hands.

Old man Yun took out an envelope from the wide cuffs, stuffed it into He Jingyan's hand, and said, "Lord Wang, this is a little caution in our clan, 300,000 taels of silver tickets, please accept it." ”

He Jingyan returned the envelope to Old Man Yun with his backhand, his eyes were bright, and he said indifferently: "No merit will be punished." What do you mean by giving this money to the king? ”

Old Man Yun's face was full of sorrow, and he said, "Please send the Tiger Ben Army to the disaster area of Tianshui City Mansion to rescue the people of our family." ”

"This king has not received an order from the imperial court, and he cannot use the Tiger Running Army." He Jingyan said bluntly: "The crown prince and Prince Li have led the Tian family army to Tianshui City Mansion in batches last night, if it goes well, the first batch of troops will arrive tonight." ”

"Where can the Tian family army compare to your tiger army."

"When Tian Jiajun was in Hebei Province, he fought against the Japanese and won fewer victories and lost more. Even if they went to the disaster area, they couldn't save anyone. ”

"Don't say such damning words!" He Jingyan's eyes were cold, swept over everyone, and waved his sleeves: "This king still has important matters, you all step down." ”

The people of the Yun family branch walked out of the Yan Wangfu with a pale face, and they were all angry, eager to set fire to the palace and burn it down, and beat He Jingyan to death with a whip.

"Back then, we invited the Jincheng garrison with 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and now we don't have 300,000 taels of silver tickets."

"King Yama is really hard-hearted, so I can't convince him like this."

"Tianshui and Jincheng all belong to Longdi, just because Jincheng is returned to King Yan, Tianshui has a disaster, Jincheng doesn't care, King Yama doesn't send food and goods, and doesn't send troops to rescue, cold-blooded to the outrageous. Immediately spread the news from outside the city of Jincheng. ”

They returned to Zhuangzi and told the story of the incident, and the clansmen were so angry that they scolded He Jingyan.

Previously, the branch had sent more than a dozen people with nearly 100 slaves to the Tianshui disaster area, and this time without He Jingyan's help, he donated 50,000 taels of silver tickets to Baita Temple, and invited a hundred warrior monks and two monks and two monks and pharmacists in the temple.

On that day, the second batch of people from the Yun Clan branch wore linen and filial piety, and they swept out of Jincheng and rushed to Tianshui.

When they arrived at the disaster area the next day, they found that the imperial court Tian Jiajun had arrived, and had been busy for several hours looking for survivors in the ruins.

The injured of the Yun clan have received medicine from the hands of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, and the condition has stopped from deteriorating, except for an elderly man who gave up his life because he heard the news that his son and grandson have died without taking medicine, and the rest of them have survived.

Seven days later, the news of the Tianshui earthquake reached the ears of the Tubo, Huiyi, and Xiongnu horse bandits.

The leader of the horse bandits originally thought that the Tiger Ben Army would go to Tianshui to relieve the disaster and not in the fiefdom, so he could go to Yumen, Dunhuang and other places to rob the villages, but later heard that the Hu Ben Army was not sent to Tianshui, but had been stationed in Jincheng, so he dispelled the idea.

More than a dozen tribes in Huiyi got the news that the Huben army went to Tianshui to relieve the disaster and distribute medicine, thinking that the current chaos in Longdi and the Huben army were busy with disaster relief, which was a golden opportunity, and decided to occupy the land of the Dingchao and end the bitter life of nomadism.

They abandoned the previous feud, held a general meeting, and jointly gathered all the knights to prepare to attack Yumen, and then occupied Jiayu Pass, the first heavy pass in Longdi, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then slowly advanced eastward to swallow Jiuquan and Zhangye, and establish the Huiyi Kingdom.

At a quiet dawn, more than a dozen tribes of Hui Yi launched an attack on Dingchao.

The 3,000 knights of the vanguard army had already set out for thirty miles, and they could all see the gate of the Jade Gate, and they had encountered the 3,000 Tiger Ben troops who had been ambushed here for two days and two nights.

The two armies fought, and the Huiyi knight team was a ragtag army, with horses, weapons, sergeants, and coordination ability much worse than the Tiger Ben army, and they fell into a trap, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.

The momentum of the Tiger Ben army was like a flood, taking advantage of the victory to kill the infantry team of the Huiyi tribe, the military horses trampled to kill nearly 1,000 people, and the soldiers killed more than 2,000 people, becoming the biggest victory between the Huiyi tribe since the founding of the Ding Dynasty.

This battle greatly damaged the vitality of more than a dozen tribes in Huiyi, and they did not dare to invade the Dingchao Longdi again within ten years.

At that time, when He Dong and Li Bing decided to rescue the army, Li Bing took into account the impact of the military situation brought about by the Tianshui earthquake and resolutely did not let He Dong use the Huben army to rescue the disaster.

Li Bing and He Jingyan did not correspond with each other, but He Jingyan, with his keen and advanced military vision and decisive and correct military decision-making, secretly sent half of the Huben army to the border in three groups.

The victory of Yumen undoubtedly brought a brilliant sunny day to the rainy court due to the Tianshui earthquake. The civil and military officials all regained their vigor, especially the military attachés, whose voices were even higher than before.

He Dong, who had eaten vegetarian food for 12 consecutive days in the palace, was overjoyed, resumed the meat food of three meals a day, and gave food and jewelry to Qingwangfu and Li Wangfu.

A few days later, Li Bing, He Yiyang, and Li Yunqing completed the disaster relief mission and returned to Chang'an safely.

In the early dynasty, He Yiyang read aloud the officials who made contributions to the Tianshui disaster relief, and the first one was Li Jingjing, the princess who protected the country and provided preventive methods for the first time, giving medicines worth more than 200,000 silver coins and providing preventive methods for preventing diseases.

More than 13,400 people died in Tianshui Earth City, and in the scorching summer, the corpses stinked after one day of exposure to the scorching sun, and they decomposed in two days.

According to what Li Jingjing wrote in the letter, the officials of Dingxi Changshi and Tianshui City Government strictly implemented them one by one, incinerated all the corpses on the same day, and dried lime powder and distributed medicines everywhere, so that the epidemic was not triggered.

He Jingyan and Li Jingjing are husband and wife. Everything Li Jingjing does is equivalent to what he does.

A few days ago, the rumors about He Jingyan's cold-blooded flood victims were self-defeating.

The second place is the long history of Dingxi. He was promoted three levels by He Dong's order and appointed as the governor of Longdao.

He Yiyang said loudly: "Father, there are about 20,000 victims in Tianshui, thirty percent of them stayed and did not want to leave, sixty percent went to Jincheng, and only one percent entered Shaanxi Province. ”

"More than 2,000 disaster names are not much for Shaanxi Province, even if they can be resettled in Chang'an." He Dong thought of He Jingyan's strategy of reporting and relocating the victims, and couldn't help but admire: "Look at the two sons of King Yan, they just went to the fiefdom and gave me a big victory, and also helped me take in more than 10,000 victims. I am very happy to have them to help. ”

Those officials who had enmity with the Li family and He Jingyan before went down to the early dynasty and got together to talk about it.

"King Yan and the princess who protect the country, one has soldiers, the other has money, and they have Li Bing's guidance, it is difficult to make meritorious contributions."

"King Yan has only been in the fiefdom for a few days, and he has spent so much silver, but he can't get in and out, and no matter how much money the princess has in the country, she can't help King Yan to make such a mess."

"It would have been good if Tianshui Mansion had been assigned to King Yan as a fief according to Li Bing. Tianshui Mansion is now ruined, and even if King Yan sells the princess of the country, he will not be able to restore the old appearance of Tianshui within ten years. ”

"It's just June, and it's not yet July. Longdi suffers from drought every year, and this year will inevitably be the same. The drought-stricken land did not produce food, and the people could not harvest food in the autumn, and waited to starve to death in the winter. ”

"The branch of the Yun Clan has completely become an enemy with King Yan. This time, the vitality of the Yun clan's own family was greatly damaged, and if the branch wanted to fight with King Yan, it had to wait for the family to recover before it had the confidence. ”

No matter how these people slandered He Jingyan and Li Jingjing, the people of the seven cities in the fiefdom praised the Huben army for beating Hui Yi miserably, and the victims from Tianshui lived in a new house mixed with grass and mud to eat hot meals, and were grateful to the couple.

At dusk on this day, in the summer, in the main courtyard of the Baihao Courtyard of the Yanwang Mansion, Li Jingjing was talking to He Jingyan and Li Yunxiao, who had just come back from doing something outside, and said softly: "Go and wipe your face, just come for dinner." ”

He Jingyan looked at Li Jingjing's radiant expression, and asked with a smile: "Lady, can your business go well?" ”
