Chapter 29 Quanzhou
"Ahh
Li Sanjian, who got off the boat to change horses, suddenly sneezed on his horse.
"Brother? How did you...? Li Gang was startled by Li Sanjian's earth-shattering sneezing, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Sanjian and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, maybe it's a little cold from the wind." Li Sanjian replied after holding the hat on top of his head.
Li Sanjian's expression was a little aggrieved, and his face was a little bad.
When Li Sanjian first arrived in Hui'an County, Quanzhou, he was attacked by bandits when he was in Meiyu Village, and then suffered leg injuries during his escape.
Li Sanjian is young and healthy, so for Li Sanjian, some injuries on his body are actually nothing, and he can be healed in a few days, and what really makes Li Sanjian feel physically and mentally exhausted is that Meng Guangxi, the county magistrate of Hui'an County, reminded Li Sanjian of the Quanzhou flood.
When Li Sanjian left Beijing, Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty reminded Li Sanjian that the financial situation of Quanzhou and Quanzhou City, as well as the matter of Quanzhou pirates, but Li Sanjian never expected that the first problem he had when he first arrived in Quanzhou was the flooding of Quanzhou caused by heavy rains falling for several days.
No matter what dynasty it is, natural disasters such as floods and droughts will inevitably produce victims, which will inevitably displace the victims and leave them without food and clothing, and the imperial court or local yamen will inevitably provide relief to the victims, but if the relief is not handled properly or the relief is not effective, it will cause serious consequences, and it is even possible to provoke a civil uprising.
Therefore, Li Sanjian must deal with this matter cautiously.
But how should Li Sanjian deal with the floods in Quanzhou? And what to do to deal with the floods in Quanzhou? And so on and so on, Li Sanjian has no bottom in his heart at this time, and he has no clue yet.
Hui'an County is only one or twenty miles away from Quanzhou, but along the way, Li Sanjian has witnessed many people and displaced people who have been affected by the flood on the boat, who are in tattered clothes and unclothed, carrying the poor belongings in their own homes or dragging their children and daughters to flee the famine.
Therefore, Li Sanjian was unusually worried along the way, his expression was aggrieved, and his improvement was also a little bad.
"Wind chill? Catch cold? Yao Yuyan said with concern: "Do you want to find a Langzhong for Li Daguan to see?" ”
Although Yao Yu's words were concerned, his expression was full of ridicule...
A literati is a literati, and a literati who can "bite the golden three-plate axe" is also a literati. Where is it like to be still energetic ... Yao Yu said secretly in his heart.
"Less nonsense! Hurry into town. Li Sanjian saw Yao Yu's ridicule, but he didn't bother to explain to him, and after glaring at Yao Yu, he whipped his horse and galloped towards Quanzhou City.
Although his leg was injured and it was difficult to ride a horse, how could Li Sanjian take care of it at this time?
So a group of four people galloped towards the city of Quanzhou.
。。。。。。。。。。
Quanzhou is a large city on Fujian Road, and Quanzhou is known as the "Eight Great Cities" together with Kaifeng Mansion, Jingbei Mansion, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Tanzhou and Jinling.
Quanzhou has developed commerce, especially overseas trade frequently, and there are many maritime merchants from all over the world shuttling between Quanzhou and various states every year.
At this time, the population of Quanzhou has reached more than 20,000 households, more than 100,000 people, although it cannot catch up with the Song Kaifeng Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, Jinling and other cities, but for Fujian, it is a city with a large population.
In addition, Quanzhou is also the most developed shipbuilding industry, the Houshan Society on the coast outside the south gate of Quanzhou, the Changkou Street in the south of the city, the Shengongting on the bank of the Nan'an River and other places are shipbuilding places, and these shipbuilding places can make some large sea ships.
Quanzhou has developed commerce, a large population, and the traffic is also very convenient, so it is a coastal town, and the bridge-building industry is also extremely developed, there are more than 200 large and small stone bridges near Quanzhou, including some large stone bridges such as Luoyang Bridge, Anping Bridge and so on.
Li Sanjian and the other four entered Quanzhou from the Luoyang Bridge in the north of Quanzhou.
Luoyang Bridge spans the Luoyang River, and is the land traffic channel for Guangdong and northern Fujian to go to Beijing.
From the fifth year of Song Huangyou to the fourth year of Jiayou, the Luoyang Bridge was built by Cai Xiang, the grandfather of Cai Jing, who was demoted to Hangzhou at that time. . .
Luoyang Bridge is also known as Wan'an Bridge, is presided over by Cai Xiang to build, before and after six years, built this big stone bridge across the river and the sea, about 300 zhang long, less than two long widths, there are 46 piers on it, there are 500 stone carving railings and 28 stone lions on both sides, there are seven pavilions and nine towers dotted in the meantime, there are two ends of the stone general respectively, 700 pine trees are planted on the north and south sides of the bridge.
"Drive. . . Drive... Drive... ”
"Flash, flash!"
Luoyang Bridge is the main bridge in and out of Quanzhou, of course, there are a lot of pedestrians and traders on the bridge, but at this time the bridge suddenly rushed over four horses, shouting loudly, while galloping.
You must know that it is not allowed to ride horses on the bridge on weekdays, so pedestrians are caught off guard, cursing loudly and avoiding them one after another.
The four healthy horses galloping on the Luoyang Bridge are official horses, and there are official marks on them, but the knights on the horses are all dressed in robes, wearing hats, and their faces are full of dust, but they can't tell the identity of these people, and they can't tell whether they are people from the government.
Therefore, of course, no one stopped the pedestrians, and if this was an emergency military situation, wouldn't it be a great crime to block the transmission of military aircraft? First Literary Network
"Ouch!" At this time, a young woman wearing a thin Luo light shirt was enjoying the misty scenery near the Luoyang Bridge, and a little maid held a delicate oil-paper umbrella to shield the young woman from the rain and rain.
When the two were standing on the bridge, the horse galloped, and the two hurriedly dodged to the side, but the woman's feet were small, and she also maintained an elegant viewing posture. . . At this time, there was a sudden change, the two couldn't dodge, fell together, the woman in the thin light shirt even sprained her ankle, half-squatted on the ground and touched her ankle, her face was painful, and the exquisite oil-paper umbrella also rolled down to the bridge.
"Ascending to the disciples... Bounder! The little maid was so angry that she got up from the ground and scolded the knight on the horse.
At this time, one of the knights at the head turned his head when he heard this, nodded apologetically to the woman who was half-crouching on the ground, and then rushed into the city.
This is a young face, although his face is full of dust, but he can't hide his handsome face, and there is a resolute look in his handsomeness.
After seeing the woman in the light shirt, she suddenly felt unusually shy in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head and continued to touch her ankles. . . .
"Sister Hua'er, are you okay?" The little maid then helped the woman in Bo Luo's light shirt and asked with concern.
"I... I... It's okay, help me back, um... It hurts! The woman in the light shirt stood up, touched the wound again, and couldn't help but moan.
"Hmph, go back and tell the master that you will take them down and punish them." The little maid hummed while holding the woman in a thin shirt.
"Forget it, they're probably ... Probably something urgent, right? Let's go back. The woman in Bo Luo's light shirt shook her head when she heard this.
These people are obviously dressed as foreigners, not from Quanzhou, so who are these people? Do you dare to gallop in the middle of the city, and you are not afraid of hitting and hurting people?
"Where's the thief?"
"Chase, chase."
"If you catch up with them, you will be punished for these thieves who disturb the people."
The ordinary people did not dare to stop them, but the patrol inspectors and soldiers guarding the city chased after the four horsemen with shouts, and they were all going to be taken down and severely punished.
。。。。。。。。。。
"Stop! What for? ”
"Hugh has to trespass on the yamen!"
"Someone, someone is rebelling!"
Li Sanjian was so anxious that he risked hurting people with a galloping horse, and rushed to Quanzhou Prefecture with Yao Yu and the other three.
When Li Sanjian arrived at the state office, he jumped off his horse and broke into the state government directly, which shocked the guards at the gate of the state government and the officials in the state government to shout.
On weekdays, who dares to break into the lobby of Yahuanghuang in the state like this? The ordinary people saw that they were all taking a detour, and they didn't dare to look at it a few more times, and if there was a lawsuit, the people were honestly waiting outside the state office, waiting for the summons.
Therefore, the officials of Quanzhou Prefecture were caught off guard, and watched Li Sanjian and the other four people break in in stride, and after they reacted, they even called for people.
"Poof!" Yao Yu knocked on the head of a state official and said with a smile: "Rebellion? What kind of rebellion? Where is there so much counter-making? Hurry up and report that the governor has arrived! ”
"Zhizhou Xianggong? Which governor is the prime minister? Come.... The beaten officer touched his head and asked confusedly.
Yao Yu and Xu Biao then took out Li Sanjian's edict and confession.
"Sue the court to discuss the doctor, Zhilong Tuge Li Sanjian Feng Quan Zhiquan affairs, Fu to the public bank, February 18 of the first year of Jianzhong. Li Sanjian... Plum... Li Zhizhou? Seeing this, several officials approached together, and after reading the words on the body together, they exclaimed together.
"Which one ... Who is Li Zhizhou? A servant then stammered.
Among the four, Yao Yu was the oldest, so the officials looked at Yao Yu together.
"Something is!" Li Sanjian then replied: "Where did the people from the state government go?" ”
After Li Sanjian and others came to the Quanzhou Prefecture, they felt a little strange, according to common sense, the yamen of a state does not say that people come and go, and there is a lot of traffic, but it is not like the current situation, there are only a dozen people inside and outside the yamen?
"The little ones met the Zhizhou Xianggong, and the Xianggong worked hard all the way!" After Li Sanjian revealed his identity, the officials of Quanzhou Prefecture came out to give salutes.
"Excuse me!" Li Sanjian then asked, "Where did the people from the state government go?" Why is the yamen so deserted? ”
"If you go back to Zhizhou Xianggong, the Xianggong and others will go to Chang Ping." A state official replied.
