Ludi recently set off a major earthquake, the family that has ruled this area for hundreds of years have been uprooted, replaced by a group of Kanto merchants entered, Ludi is actually very rich, just because the previous Shi clan was too xenophobic, so Ludi's things are basically self-produced and sold, now it is different, for Ludi, Li Jun's plan is to build it into a commercial base, for which those who copied the land, Li Jun did not give it to the locals, but changed it to public land, in preparation for the next year's immigration.

There are interests there, and there is Zhuo Shan, so when King Lu saw Zhuo Shan, he was not surprised, but just sighed and said: "Alas, poor people of Ludi, they drove away the Kong family and recruited you, a vampire. ”

"The prince's words are wrong, the minister came to Ludi to build a factory on the orders of His Majesty, how can he be said to be a vampire? Now there are tens of thousands of people in Ludi who have no land, and the minister came at this time, although he is tired of working in the factory, but he can finally have something to eat, right? Your Highness. Zhuo Shan said aggrievedly.

King Lu's eyes lit up and said: "Oh, this time the king finally understands the intention of the imperial brother, the reason why the imperial brother did not distribute the copied land to the people like Yandi is to force Lu Min to work." ”

"Haha, Your Highness is smart, Your Majesty means this, Yandi has always produced heroes and heroes, so Yandi is the most important recruiting place in our Tang Dynasty, but Ludi is different, the people here are stingy, if you give them land, maybe there will be a second Confucian family in ten or eight years, so it is better to directly change the local system and start over." Zhuo Shan said with a smile.

King Lu arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an and said: "Brother Huang is far-sighted, this king admires, Zhuo Shan, don't worry, no matter what you do in Ludi, this king will vigorously cooperate, but remember one thing, don't be careless about people's lives, otherwise Concubine Zhuo's sister-in-law will not be able to keep your dog's head." ”

"Don't worry, Zhuo Shan is ready to be a good man this time." Zhuo Shan patted his chest and replied......

At this time, Sheyang County, which is not far from Ludi, is experiencing an unprecedented typhoon, the wind is relentlessly howling in Sheyang County, and the heavy rain is pouring down like a scoop.

The typhoon is like the devil in mythology, and the sky suddenly appears like charred clouds like broken cotton wool, and it becomes dark and chaotic. The wind whistled on the branches. The torrential rain poured down like a waterfall, and the wind and rain stirred together, crackling like a dense bullet, hitting the face like a pinprick in pain.

Gong Qing braved the rain to rescue the disaster in the city, the old master of Sheyang County was a native of Sheyang County, Gong Qing just went to check the city wall, and was stopped by the old master book.

Gong Qing asked unhappily: "Lord Bookkeeper, this county respects you as an elder and tolerates what you do everywhere, but why are you stopping me today?" ”

The old master sighed and said: "Lord County, now is not the time for you and me to be angry, the real wind has not yet come, at this time, you must not go out of the city, there is no city wall outside the city, you will die if you go out, old man, I have lived in Sheyang County all my life, or the first time I have seen such a strong wind, please listen to the old man's advice, evacuate quickly." ”

Gong Qing said angrily: "The people have been evacuated, but this county can't, this county is guarding the side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and it is resolute not to withdraw at this time, and there are tens of thousands of acres of salt fields outside the city, and these salts will be sent to Liaodong for immigrants to eat this year." ”

After speaking, Gong Qing ignored the obstruction of the old master, and took his relatives out of the city, and the old master looked up to the sky and sighed: "It seems that the old man's life should be extinct here." After speaking, he also rushed out of the city, and the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that if the chief official has an accident, and the subordinate official knows the consequences but does not dissuade him, he will punish the three clans, and for the sake of his family, the old master has to give up this life.

When he came to Yantian, Gong Qing's heart was broken, because Yantian was basically flooded, Gong Qing pulled a steward from Yantian and said angrily: "What do you think? The water flooded up, and no one cared about it. ”

The Yantian steward knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: "Lord County, the lower officials don't want to, but the rain is too heavy, and the water can't be blocked at all." ”

The old master also persuaded on the side: "Lord County, don't blame the Tian steward for this matter, now the situation is like this, the bigger wind and rain are still to come, it's too late to remedy, my lord, let's go back to the city to avoid it first." ”

Gong Qing ignored the old master's words at all, and asked the Yantian steward, "Tian steward, how much prepared salt has not been shipped to the city?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, there are about 50,000 catties." The steward of Yantian immediately replied.

Gong Qing nodded and said, "Okay, now let's hurry up and transport the salt, before the typhoon comes, we can transport a little more." ”

Steward Tian looked around and said with a bitter face: "My lord, just a dozen of us, there are not enough people." ”

"No matter, Sheyang County is already an empty city at this time, let's act quickly." Gong Qing replied.

The Tian manager's eyes for help looked at the old master's book, the old master didn't pay attention to the Tian manager, but was the first to step into the salt field, Gong Qing shouted with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Didn't you see that the old man went to the field without regard for his body? ”

Everyone was indeed moved by the behavior of the old master, and more than a dozen people also ran into the salt field, Gong Qing came to the old master's side and whispered: "Boss, this county will ask Your Majesty for credit for this matter, as for your corruption, this county is not to blame for your performance today, please rest assured." ”

The old master smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, what's the use of saying this at this time, the old man only hopes that I can save my life this time." ”

Gong Qing replied confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, it will, people will win the day." ”

After tossing for about four hours, more than a dozen people worked hard to transport 30,000 catties of salt into Sheyang County, at this time the sky suddenly quieted down, Gong Qing said happily: "God help me, we are running a few more times, and the remaining salt can also be transported into the city." ”

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, the old master immediately stopped: "Lord County, wait, this is the calm before the storm, and you can't go out again at this time." ”

Gong Qing shook his head in disbelief, and just wanted to laugh at the old master for a few words, only to see waves rising on the sea, and then like a green dragon, he went straight to Sheyang County......

The next day, Li Jun received a message from Sheyang's flying pigeon, the city wall of Sheyang was broken by a typhoon, collapsed for dozens of miles, and countless houses were damaged, and more than a dozen people such as Gong Qing, Lei Dong, the chief bookkeeper, and Tian Dazhuang, the manager of Yantian, were martyred, and no life was returned, and the people of Sheyang escaped because of the early evacuation, but this year's crops were also completely destroyed.

Li Jun sighed and ordered: "He Shen, pass the decree and bury Gong Qing and the others, Gong Qing will enter the Lingyan Pavilion, and then Lu Hang, the secretary of the Propaganda and Industry Department, will meet you." ”

"No, the old minister obeys."
