Chapter 97
At the moment when Chang'an was shaking, Luoyang also felt the tremor, Jiang Wei and Jiang Changhui were each holding a book and reading in the study, the utensils in the room shook, Jiang Changhui looked at those utensils in a daze and didn't come back to his senses for a while. ΟΟΟ.? ΟΟ?. ΟΡg Are you still watching today? (pro, ())
Jiang Wei's first reaction was an earthquake, "Bai Shao, take Auntie out of the city!" All go outside! β
Bai Shao subconsciously picked up Jiang Changhui, and Xiang Xiang and Su Ying pulled Jiang Wei outside, but as soon as everyone walked outside the house, it was dark in front of them, followed by darkness, screams came and went, and Jiang Wei was firmly protected by Su Ying and Xiang Xiang.
"Blindfold them all and don't stare at the sun!" Jiang Wei shouted hard.
Most people were confused by the sudden change, and subconsciously obeyed when they heard the voice.
Solar eclipse plus earthquake? Jiang Wei felt the shaking of the ground, the earthquake time was not long, it stopped for almost a few tens of seconds, and the seismic intensity did not seem to be strong, but the time of the solar eclipse was a little longer, if this earthquake was not a small earthquake, then the epicenter should not be here, where was the earthquake near Luoyang? Jiang Wei's face was a little dignified, modern science and technology are so vulnerable in the face of earthquakes, let alone ancient times, I don't know how many people will die in Lu Dao, especially now that communication is not developed, don't even think about determining the epicenter at the first time.
"Ah, you're fine." Jiang Changhui's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he waited for the eclipse to dissipate before he saw where his niece was, and hurriedly asked with concern.
"Auntie, I'm fine." Jiang Wei looked at the house, hesitated for a moment, and ordered everyone to put a water cup on the table, and if the water cup fell, run outside immediately.
At this time, King Qinghe and King Ji hurried over with sweat, and after seeing that the two of them were not in trouble, they were obviously relieved, and King Ji stepped forward and said respectfully: "Please A-Niang and the queen move to an open place to rest for a while." β
Jiang Changhui waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious." She was pampered, but she still knew that the eclipse and the earth movement were constant since ancient times, and she saw Jiang Wei walking out and asked strangely: "Ah Zhi, where are you going?" β
"I-" Jiang Wei then thought that she was in the palace, and her brother was not by her side, Jiang Wei was a little dazed, she missed her brother so much.
Her dazed and ignorant appearance was distressing, Jiang Changhui beckoned her to come over and said softly: "Don't be afraid, there were solar eclipses in ancient times, and they are not a big deal." β
"Well, that's normal." Jiang Wei was not surprised by the solar eclipse, and in modern times, everyone watched the solar eclipse Tianwenqi, and besides, there were no electronic devices in ancient times, and it didn't affect anything if there was a solar eclipse, "Auntie, I'm worried about the epicenter of this ground movement." β
"The epicenter?" Jiang Changhui is a little understanding, but not too understanding.
"It's where the earthquake is most intense." Jiang Wei explained, "The ground movement here can only be regarded as a small ground movement, and if only one of us arrives, it is nothing, I am afraid that it will be the aftermath of a major earthquake." "Then it's not a matter of a few people dying," Jiang Wei muttered, "After the catastrophe, there will be a plague." She turned around and asked King Ji, "How is the damage in the city?" Can anyone be hurt? There's nothing wrong with the grain cellar, right? "If there is really a big earthquake, the grain in Luoyang's granary will definitely be the first to be transferred.
Jiang Wei was stunned by the question of the cannon beads, and Jiang Wei was also a little embarrassed after asking, as if these were not in his care, and King Ji and King Qinghe also cared about them before they came, "Well, we don't have any big deals, King Qinghe and King Ji are busy with official business, so there is no need to be distracted." Jiang Wei explained embarrassedly.
King Ji was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "What the queen said is very true, I have already sent someone to the city to investigate, and the current news shows that no one has been injured, and the people who went to the capital to report have also been sent to investigate, and I have also sent people to investigate the nearby villages." King Ji explained clearly to Jiang Wei one by one, "I have already sent someone to check the grain cellar, these are buried in the ground, I don't think there will be much trouble, if the court comes to the will, the grain can be drawn at any time." β
Jiang Wei was even more embarrassed when he explained this, he seemed to report to himself.
Or Jiang Changhui gave Jiang Wei a round game, "Ah Zhi, you said that there will be a big epidemic after the disaster, will there be an epidemic?" β
Jiang Wei tried hard to recall the earthquakes in her previous life, although she didn't have an earthquake area, she couldn't help but feel cold when she saw the live broadcast screen, and she couldn't imagine what the mood of those who experienced it was, "If it is a major earthquake, there will be casualties, not only people but also livestock, these must be disposed of immediately, otherwise it will be easy to break out of the epidemic." And after the earth moves, the celestial phenomena will often change, either there is a big water or the temperature drops sharply, at this time, the old, weak, sick and disabled are easy to survive. β
Jiang Wei's words made King Qinghe and King Ji cautious, and when the two saw that they were fine, they hurriedly resigned to deal with official business, Jiang Wei stopped King Qinghe and said: "Uncle, you are in charge of the mansion, if the government soldiers are okay, help everyone deal with the affairs together." β
King Qinghe nodded, he was still used to Jiang Wei's approach, she didn't like to be forced into labor, and she liked to treat soldiers as coolies.
After King Qinghe and King Ji left, Jiang Changhui and Jiang Wei's faces sank at the same time, Jiang Changhui was carried back to the room, but instead of entering the inner room, he sat down at the door, and the two of them were thinking about the consequences of this matter at the same time. Jiang Changhui was worried about his son.
"How difficult it is to prosper the country, and to enlighten the saints with sorrows*. Do you know if this is not a turning point? Jiang Wei saw that her aunt was discouraged and hurriedly said, now is to build confidence for everyone, if your aunt is discouraged, then the people below will also be discouraged.
"How difficult is it to prosper the country, and to enlighten the saints?" Jiang Changhui listened to Jiang Wei's words, and his eyes gradually showed brilliance, "You're right!" β
Jiang Wei asked people to recruit Wei Jiansu and Sang Xiaohong, these two are not local officials in Luoyang, although they were also appointed by King Ji, but the official business is not as busy as other officials, Jiang Wei recruited them to discuss the remedial measures after this disaster, she is not sure what remedies Daqin has at the moment, so she recruited the two to discuss, and she chose what she remembered. For example, some collapsed and dilapidated houses were rebuilt, and some subsidies for property losses in disasters, but these must be civilians who have no money, and those who have money don't have to think about it. Jiang Wei also asked him to write down all the self-help measures in the earthquake and the self-protection measures in the face of the earthquake, and asked them to send officials to publicize them.
"There is also the need to pay attention to Luoshui." Jiang Wei reminded them, "If it rains too much, Luoshui will be flooded again, and it will be even worse, once the cordon is crossed, the people will be organized to retreat immediately, and everything will be based on human life." "If there were another flood after the earthquake now, it would be a big deal.
Wei Jiansu and Sang Xiaohong listened carefully, some of what the queen said would be done by the government, and some would not be paid attention to, such as where to hide when the ground moved, and to pay attention to observe the flooding of Luoshui, which they didn't know and couldn't teach, Sang Xiaohong's pen recorded everything the queen said like the wind. Jiang Wei also carefully said the key points of post-disaster prevention, Luoyang can't use other places, maybe it will be useful, this can be handed over to Brother after it is written.
Jiang Changhui listened on the side, looking at Jiang Wei's eyes were full of brilliance, every time she saw Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi gave her a different feeling, as a family, even if Jiang Changhui is not close to his son, his heart is different when he sees his niece thinking about his son in everything.
King Ji and King Qinghe also sent people from time to time to bring the news they heard, and most of what they heard now is good news, Luoyang has no property loss except for the collapse of a few thatched houses that are too dilapidated, King Ji and King Qinghe personally led the officials to appease them door to door, Jiang Wei asked them to find a few officials to record what they did at any time, and then all sorted out in the letter they wrote to Zhao Heng, she didn't know what to do when she encountered this kind of thing, she could only copy the experience of later generations, she believed that they would all make trade-offs.
"It's time for the queen to have dinner." Su Ying came up to light the lamp for Jiang Wei, and saw Jiang Wei looking at the post-disaster handling experience she wrote over and over again, "You've been writing for a day, take a break." β
"Do you have any connection with the capital?" Jiang asked without raising his head.
Su Ying shook her head, "There's no news yet." β
Jiang Wei didn't speak, Luoyang is thousands of miles away from Chang'an after all, it is the first time she has missed modern communication methods so much in so many years since she came to ancient times, if it was changed to modern times, where is there an earthquake at this time, and how many magnitudes are known to the whole world, right?
"Queen." Shi Wenjing hurriedly walked over, "There is a section of Cuihan Road that was destroyed by the earthquake, and the news can't be transmitted. β
"What then?" Jiang asked slightly.
"I changed the way to the past, and I found it when I wanted to come to the capital, so I should have changed the road." Shi Wenjing said.
There are several roads from Chang'an to Luoyang, Jiang Wei took a road is the ancient road that existed in ancient times, this road is relatively flat, there are rivers and trees along the road, you can take water and rest, it is very suitable for travel, most people come and go between the two places are to choose this road, Jiang Wei has noticed that the widest part of the ancient road is 100 meters, such a road can be damaged by the earthquake?
"Did you send it to build the road?" Jiang Wei asked, if this road is destroyed, it will be inconvenient for the two places to travel, and there will be problems in transporting grain to Guanzhong.
"I'm building roads, but I can't say when it will be better." Shi Wenjing said.
Jiang Wei was a little uneasy, she always felt that something bad had happened in her heart, Jiang Wei hesitated and said to Shi Wenjing: "You go and invite King Qinghe to come." β
King Qinghe's work is not too busy, after ordering the sergeant to strengthen the inspection of Luoyang, he has been waiting for news from Chang'an, I heard that the queen summoned her to think that she was asking about the road repair of the ancient road in Cuihan, "Queen, I have sent someone over, and now it is not clear how much damage has been made, and the sky is dark, so it can only be repaired slowly and slowly, and Chang'an must also be under construction." β
Jiang Wei waved his hand, "I didn't mean that, uncle, you said that our ground here in Luoyang is so slight, it stands to reason that the ancient road will not be damaged to this point, right?" β
"It should be." King Qinghe also had such a guess in his heart.
"So do you think this earthquake will be on the Chang'an side?" Jiang Wei asked, this is what Jiang Wei is worried about, all her relatives are in Chang'an.
King Qinghe's expression was solemn, "This will not be determined until we meet the messenger of Chang'an." β
Jiang Wei sighed slightly, "Uncle, do you say that we can transfer grain from Luokou Cang to Chang'an first, and wait for Chang'an news while transporting it?" β
"Thisβ" King Qinghe hesitated.
"Even if you change lanes, you will be able to hear the news tomorrow morning at most, and now it's too late to leave, so how about loading all the food first, and leaving early tomorrow morning?" Jiang Wei said that everything must be prevented, after all, the current disaster relief depends on boats and two legs, unlike trucks and drivers in later generations.
"I'll discuss it with King Ji." King Qinghe said cautiously, the stakes were very high, and he couldn't make a decision easily.
"Of course, I can only make suggestions." Jiang Wei said.
"The queen mother's honor of the world is the blessing of her subjects." King Qinghe smiled.
Jiang Wei didn't react to King Qinghe's praise, so she thought about when she could communicate with her brother, and she missed him.
At this time, Zhao Heng of Chang'an heard that the attendant said that the news of Luoyang could not be transmitted back for the time being, and his face was pale, "Go and repair the road for me immediately!" β
"Yuwei!" The attendants responded again and again.
Jiang Ke closed his bloodshot eyes, he had hardly stopped since the ground movement began, they supported Zhao Heng's decision, Cui Handao must be repaired as soon as possible, otherwise the disaster relief food will not be easy to deliver, especially Luoyang and his daughter and granddaughter.
Chang'an encountered a rare earth movement, most of the officials in the capital were sent to various places in Chang'an City to inquire about the situation, as far as everyone received the situation is not optimistic, the houses in the city are seriously damaged, many people are buried under the house, the Imperial Medical Department has received a lot of wounded, many of them were crushed by the roof beams to break their hands and feet. It was also this disaster that Zhao Heng felt that Weiwei had always insisted on the necessity of expanding the Tai Yi Department, for example, the Tai Yi Department could quickly admit the wounded now. She ordered people to take out the alcohol and lime that had been prepared in the warehouse, which were said to be effective in preventing diseases. Zhao Heng put his hand on his forehead and looked at the non-stop rain outside, this year's chestnut rice harvest is gone, right? It is the season to harvest chestnut rice, and it is impossible to send people to harvest it without raining.
Imperial Physician Ling and Shen Yi also proposed that they must send people to dispose of the corpses of people and animals as soon as possible, otherwise this rain may break out if it continues to fall, and the entire Chang'an will be in danger at that time.
Zhao Heng directly ordered: "Search house by house, and if there are dead people, pull them out and bury them." β
Everyone hesitated, the dead are the greatest, so most people don't want to, right? Not to mention that the most important thing in Chang'an City is dignitaries.
Zhao Heng said coldly: "If you are disobedient, no matter your identity, you will bury it with me!" "He is in a very irritable mood now, especially the news in Luoyang is not clear.
Someone looked at Jiang Ke and Shen Yi, the two of them were silent, the current situation is critical, if the rain goes down again, it will be too late if the epidemic really breaks out, and they are so busy that they don't know what the situation is in their own home.
This night, neither Luoyang nor Chang'an slept well, all the senior officials of Daqin lived directly in Jianzhang Palace, and when it was almost dawn, everyone received a worse news from Anxi, a locust plague broke out in the west, and it is currently sweeping towards the Guanzhong region!
Hearing this news, everyone's hearts were heavy, Anxi's intelligence said that the locust plague first occurred in the Turks, the Turks did not farm but they grazed, if the locust plague destroyed the grassland, then this year's Turkic winter will be sad, and the border will be unstable again, if in the past, Daqin was not afraid, but now it is an eventful autumn.
Of course, the people in Chang'an City didn't know at this moment that there was a crisis approaching Luoyang.
The author has something to say: there should be a second change in one meeting, but the time is uncertain
