Chapter 695: United
Under the influence of small-scale peasant society, the pace of life is actually very slow.
This is true of the people, the scholars, and even more so of the bureaucrats.
After receiving the order, Song Jingsheng did not rush to Guide Mansion, but sat in the center to check which nearby state capitals had grain in stock, which could be transferred to Guide Mansion and Ruzhou.
And how to avoid this tax exemption.
They even have to see who the prefect of Guide is who.
Wait a minute.
In comparison, Jiang Yinglan's actions were relatively fast, because he was also a resolute character, and after learning that Guo Dan was going to Weihui Mansion, he also set off immediately.
But as a result, when he came to Weihui Mansion, Guo Dan rushed to Kaifeng Mansion.
Both sides are not even walking on the same frequency.
When Jiang Yinglan came to Weihui Mansion, he was completely dumbfounded, didn't he say that there was a disaster?
Where is the disaster?
The city is still full of flowers, the people are still wandering in the streets, the number of people has not decreased at all, and the grain stores are open, but not even a penny has risen, and few people have gone to buy food.
Jiang Yinglan really felt that he had been deceived.
What am I here for?
Suddenly, a figure caught his attention.
"Wenqing."
Jiang Yinglan hurriedly shouted.
"It turns out that Jiang is giving things."
Xue Wenqing came up and arched his hand.
Their relationship is actually very good, they are usually virtuous brothers and brothers, but since Xue Wenqing entered the litigation court, he changed his words and called Jiang Zhishi.
deliberately wants to alienate the relationship with Jiang Yingyan.
He thinks that Jiang Yinglan is an official of the imperial court, and he is the president of the court court, between the two, there is actually you and me, if there are officials in Weihui Mansion, then he will definitely have to leave.
Xue Wenqing felt the need to distance himself from these officials.
We don't listen to you.
Jiang Yinglan was stunned for a moment, bowed back, and said, "Dean Xue." ”
Xue Wenqing asked, "Why did Jiang come to my Weihui Mansion." ”
Jiang Yinglan sighed: "Your Majesty heard that there was a flood here, so he ordered me to come here to investigate the cause of the flood." But....... ”
He looked left and right, "But it doesn't look like there's been a flood here!" ”
"I see."
Xue Wenqing nodded, and said: "There was indeed a flood here a few days ago, which flooded almost 200,000 acres of fertile land, and hundreds of people died because of it, but now it has been solved. ”
"Solution... Solved? ”
Jiang Yinglan suddenly looked confused.
Weihui Mansion is so big, 200,000 acres of land is really a lot, it can be seen that there is indeed a flood here, that... That's why it's solved.
Xue Wenqing snorted: "Guo Dandu has already gone to Kaifeng Mansion." ”
"How did he solve it?"
Jiang Yinglan really can't believe it!
This is a flood, not a house, I'm just a little older, this leg and foot are not good, but I'm still trying my best to hurry, you can't do this!
Xue Wenqing said: "I don't know the specifics, as long as they don't break the law, our lawsuit court can't control it, and now the price of grain has not risen, and no one has breached the contract to dismiss the farmers, and Guo Dan has not talked to me much." All I know is that Guo Dan asked to plant a kind of sweet melon on the affected fields. ”
"Pumpkin?"
Jiang Yingyan was surprised.
Xue Wenqing nodded and said, "Actually, there have always been people trying to grow this kind of pumpkin in Weihui Mansion, but... But it has always been given to pigs to eat. ”
What with what?
"That's not right! That's not right! ”
Jiang Yinglan shook his head violently, "Since there is a flood here, you should be able to see some victims, but I haven't even seen a single victim along the way." ”
"Haha!"
Xue Wenqing stroked his beard and laughed a few times, and said, "I can't imagine that Jiang is very smart, and I can't avoid this confusion!" ”
Jiang Yinglan asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Xue Wenqing said with a smile: "Jiang should know that two years ago, there were not a few yeoman farmers in our Weihui Mansion, and the land was all owned by the big landlords, and the flooded land was all the land of the big landlords, and even if the fields were flooded, those big landlords would not become disaster victims." ”
Jiang Yinglan was stunned.
Xue Wenqing said: "In addition, Weihui Mansion has been building water conservancy and strengthening the river in the past few years, but the river did not burst the embankment at that time, and the water did not rush into the residential area. But next door to Guide, I heard that the embankment in Shangqiu had been breached, and many villages were flooded in an instant. ”
Jiang Yinglan exclaimed: "There was also a flood in Guide Mansion? ”
Xue Wenqing was surprised: "Don't you know? ”
"I'm ......!"
......
At this time, Guo Dan had already come to Kaifeng Mansion.
The disaster area of Kaifeng Mansion is mainly in the Fengqiu generation, just down in Weihui Mansion, and Weihui Mansion is different from the floods in many places, the floods in Kaifeng Mansion are concentrated in the entire northeast corner, because the Yellow River is here, involving a total of ten large towns, hundreds of small villages, including Kaifeng Mansion, the north of Kaifeng Mansion was also flooded by most of the flood.
As soon as she set foot in Kaifeng Mansion, Aunt Xu felt full of disaster atmosphere.
When I arrived at Weihui Mansion, I didn't feel any disaster at all, and my mood was relatively relaxed.
And Kaifeng Mansion is already full of disaster victims, and when you enter Kaifeng Mansion, you can see rows of wooden sheds, where groups of victims line up to receive porridge.
Although the atmosphere of the disaster was very strong, what surprised Aunt Xu even more was that the rescue was organized here so quickly.
Everything looks like it's in order.
What a miracle!
If Weihui Mansion is because the nature of society has changed, then what is the reason for this?
Kaifeng Mansion is still a small peasant society!
"Li Shibo."
Aunt Xu suddenly shouted at an old man.
It's not who Li Shizhen is.
When Li Shizhen saw them, he couldn't help but look happy, and said, "Guo Dan, Feng'er, you are here." At this point, he paused slightly, "I still have patients to be treated, and I'll talk about it later." ”
Aunt Xu said, "I'll help you." ”
She walked over, because when she was out in the past, she often hung pots to help the world, which is why she was able to win the respect of many people, not that everyone was like Su Xun, who disdained to be under the same roof as her.
Whether you are a consultant or a lawyer, you really have no work ethic. Guo Dan looked at Aunt Xu and you left him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said again: "Dean Li, can you tell me first, where is Xu Xiucai?" ”
"You go over there and have a look."
Li Shizhen casually pointed to the east.
Am I not a leader? Why didn't anyone pay attention to me? Guo Dan pursed his lips and walked east with a depressed face.
Finally, he found Xu Guangqi on the edge of a river, and Xu Guangqi was standing on the grass with several people, discussing something.
"Xu Xiucai."
Guo Dan immediately shouted.
"Captain Guo."
When Xu Guangqi saw Guo Dan, he immediately walked over and bowed.
Guo Dan asked, "How is the situation here?" ”
Xu Guangqi pointed to the river in the distance and said: "There are often floods in this vicinity, but fortunately, we have been repairing the river here since the year before last, and there has been no embankment failure here, and the flood has spread relatively slowly, giving the people time to escape."
But they can only take refuge in higher ground, so we are trying to find a way to rescue these people these days, and many people have been saved so far. ”
Guo Dan asked, "How many people died?" ”
Xu Guangqi shook his head and said, "We don't know about this yet. ”
Why was Weihui Mansion able to count so quickly, because there were all hired farmers, and the big landlords would soon be able to count how many people were missing, and they were all yeoman farmers here, and they would find out where they would be clear for a while.
Guo Dan nodded, and said, "No matter what, you did a very good job, I'm really lucky to have you." ”
Xu Guangqi said with an embarrassed face: "I didn't actually do anything, thanks to the medical school, the Zhou Wangfu, and the local soldiers. ”
The first to mobilize was not Xu Guangqi, but the Yinuo Academy and Zhou Wangfu headed by Li Shizhen, who were the first to launch the rescue, and the entire medical school was the first to be mobilized, and all the teachers and students were dispatched, because this was a very valuable experience for them, and they were worried that there were no patients to see.
However, after the medical school was dispatched, Li Zhen and others also led the teachers and students of the entire Yinuo Academy to help.
If other schools see it, if they don't get it, the people of Kaifeng Mansion will definitely hate them in the future.
Therefore, other universities have also given some rescue.
The Zhou Wangfu also gave a large amount of medicinal materials and food for the first time, because the Zhou Wangfu had this tradition, but whenever there was a disaster in Kaifeng Mansion, the Zhou Wangfu would generally give relief.
Later, it was because of Guo Dan's letter that Yinuo Qianzhuang mobilized food to provide support, and soldiers began to send rescue.
With so many people supporting, the relief work went very smoothly and everything became orderly.
In fact, Xu Guangqi has done relatively little in disaster relief, he is so young, where does he understand this, he is actually studying the river, how to avoid this situation again, and how to restore agricultural production after the disaster.
Xu Guangqi mainly reported to Guo Dan the situation of the river and the situation of the land, and after the report, Xu Guangqi said: "Captain Guo, according to my estimates, in this generation of areas, nearly seventy percent of the land may not be harvested, and this involves more than 100,000 people, the situation is not optimistic. ”
Guo Dan nodded and asked, "Then what do you suggest?" ”
Xu Guangqi hesitated for a moment and said, "I have an idea, that is, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”
Guo smiled lightly: "Pumpkin." ”
Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment and said, "Does Captain Guo think the same way?" ”
"It's not all."
Guo smiled lightly: "I still do this." ”
He immediately told Xu Guangqi about his arrangements in Weihui Mansion.
When Xu Guangqi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, this was even better than he imagined, because he didn't dare to say it, so he asked Guo Dan to buy the pumpkin at the price of wheat, and said, "It's still Captain Guo's thoughtfulness." ”
"Don't be busy slapping on the back just yet."
Guo Dan waved his hand and said: "The disaster in Weihui Mansion is not serious, I can bet on this, but the situation in Kaifeng Mansion is so much more serious than that in Weihui Mansion, if the planting is not successful, then my loss will be immeasurable." ”
Xu Guangqi hurriedly said: "As long as Captain Guo can give me enough manpower, I am sure that I will be able to grow pumpkins." ”
"I've been waiting for your words."
Guo Dan pointed at Xu Guangqi and said, "How much has the price of grain in Kaifeng Mansion risen now?" ”
Xu Guangqi said: "It hasn't risen, it's still the same as before." ”
Guo Dan was surprised: "What about the conscience of those big landlords? ”
"Uh... This, this. ”
Xu Guangqi said: "This may be because of the public opinion of local scholars, which caused those big landlords to dare not raise prices. ”
Again, he explained why.
It turned out that Zhao Qinghe, the big landlords, raised the price at the first time and immediately closed all the grain stores.
As a result, he was scolded bloody.
Because Kaifeng Mansion has become a holy place for scholars, many scholars and scholars are concentrated here, and there is no official government here to uphold justice, their public opinion is very powerful, and Confucianism still admires etiquette, righteousness and honesty in the end.
This person's life is at stake, and you are so shameless to take advantage of the fire to rob it.
found out all the eighteen generations of their ancestors, and scolded them at the door.
In the end, the Laoqiu Academy, which they opened at their own expense, also began to scold them in the newspapers and periodicals, which is not okay, if they don't scold them, they will be scolded.
Zhao Qinghe and they really can't bear it, and if they continue like this, their status will not be guaranteed, so they can only restore grain prices and reopen grain stores.
Guo Dan listened, but he was really not happy, and thought in his heart, in the future, important industries should not be placed here, this is really terrifying.
