Chapter 163: Welcome to the test of the knife
"Big brother... What do we do now... Lao Tong is dead, and our clues are broken, so how can we find another wave of people who want to kill you? ”
Looking at Li Chengqian, Li Zhan said 'um' and said, "Don't worry, take your time... As long as we know what the problem is, it is only a matter of time before we solve it.
This one... Now you find me some craftsmen to build the house... I'm going to develop Dunhua Fang. ”
"Develop Dunhua Fang?" Li Chengqian is not sure what development means.
Li Zhan said: "That's right, Dunhuafang is really poorly planned now, I want to change Dunhuafang into three parts, a commercial area, a residential area, and a third workshop area."
I also want to turn the dirt roads of Dunhuafang into cement roads, and I will no longer be afraid of mud when it rains, and I will let the workers of Dunhuafang live in three-story high-rise buildings, hehe... In short, you will see a modern Dunhua workshop. ”
"Uh... Big brother, what you said is too profound, I don't understand. Li Chengqian still shook his head in confusion.
Li Zhan said with a smile: "You will understand, as long as I develop Dunhua Fang...!" ”
"Well... I'm going to help my eldest brother find some craftsmen who will build the house. Li Chengqian laughed.
...........................
Just when Li Chengqian and Li Zhan were in Dunhuafang, in the palace, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stayed together, the two talked and laughed, Empress Changsun mentioned Li Zhan many times, and Empress Changsun was very grateful to Li Zhan for blocking arrows for Empress Changsun this time.
In the conversation with Li Shimin, Empress Changsun was also very kind to Li Zhan, asked a lot about Li Zhan, and hoped that if he could, Li Shimin could take care of Li Zhan.
For Empress Changsun, a request to take care of it is already a very good performance.
Li Shimin also nodded one by one and said yes, and at this moment, suddenly a small chamberlain walked in and said that the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng jointly met him, which made Li Shimin smell a bad feeling.
After Li Shimin came to the Ganlu Hall and saw the eldest grandson Wuji and others.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng first met Li Shimin together, and then the eldest grandson Wuji said about the trip, Chang'an is a hundred miles away from Hongtong County, a steep ridge bursting embankment, a radius of 100 miles, will be ravaged by floods.
This time it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than 50,000 victims, and Zhou Shiren, the county commander of Hongtong County, asked the imperial court to rescue them.
"How many deaths...?" Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji replied: "The death toll did not exceed 1,000, because the county order of Hongtong County protested early, and when the embankment broke, the people in the county went to the high ground and reduced the casualties."
But... If there is no food, the casualties will be even greater! ”
"Well... Hongtong County ordered Zhou Shiren to save the people for meritorious service, first the following awards, and after the disaster, the Ministry of Officials was added to the first level of superior... Other... Allocate 500,000 yuan of money and 100,000 tons of grain to rescue the victims..! ”
"Yes...!"
.............................
The next day, Li Shimin's will came to Hongtong County, looking at the will in his hand, Zhou Shiren was very happy, and laughed loudly at his master: "Look... I said... It will be fine, and it will make a lot of money, 500,000 guan and 100,000 quintals of grain.
We sent it this time. ”
"I also want to congratulate Ming Gong on being promoted to a higher level after the disaster...!"
The master's flattering words made Zhou Shiren smile proudly and said, "Don't worry, no matter where I go, I will take you with me, that... Money and food will soon arrive.
When you are ready, you will give me a hundred thousand quintals of grain for wheat bran. ”
Wheat bran is wheat husk, wheat milled flour sieved seed coat, is the outer husk, mainly fiber, aleurone, some minerals and vitamins sweet taste, can astringent sweat.
It is the worst part of the wheat, and in ancient times it was eaten by livestock, and of course, some livestock did not eat it, such as cattle and horses...!
Zhou Shiren's words made the master smile slightly: "Ming Gong can rest assured... I know what to do, but do you want to share this money with the Cui family? ”
"Points... Not only to share, but also to divide a large portion, who made us not a family...! Zhou Shiren was a little helpless and sighed.
"I know Ming Gong, then I'll do it now...!" The master hurriedly left.
After the flood, a large number of refugees came to Hongtong County to pray for asylum, and Zhou Shiren set up a place on the outskirts of the county for the refugees to stay, and then surrounded the refugees with heavy troops.
Wang Dali, pillar... There are also other people in Tamura who are also surrounded here, because this place is heavily guarded, so they can't get out.
Under a simple tent, Wang Dali sighed and said, "If only I didn't come here, so that I could go to Chang'an, who knows... This Zhou Shiren is really too cunning, he said that there was a porridge field to trick us here, and then used heavy soldiers to trap us. ”
"Muramasa... I heard that the imperial court has come to the rescue, as long as we have a full stomach, we will find a way to help you escape, this Zhou Shiren is not a good person, he has harmed so many of us, we must let his crimes reach the heavens. The pillar snorted.
When the pillar finished speaking, everyone supported the pillar's words.
Wang Dali on the side also agreed: "Okay... You can rest assured, as long as I can get out of here, I will definitely be able to tell the heavens about Zhou Shiren's crimes. ”
At this moment, there was a shout from a messenger outside: "It's time to eat...!" ”
Wang Dali took the people of Liantian Village out, and the other villages also took their own villagers in turn to the porridge pot to wait for the porridge to eat, but when all the people saw the wheat bran boiled in the porridge pot, all the people were in an uproar.
"What is this... These are all wheat bran, is this for people to eat? ”
One of the citizens shouted loudly.
Immediately behind, another common man shouted loudly: "You people are full of private pockets, I have heard that His Majesty ordered an allocation of 500,000 guan and 100,000 quintals of grain, and you are so black-hearted that you will exchange grain for wheat bran for us to eat."
How ruthless are you? ”
"What... Your Majesty allocated 500,000 quintals of grain and 100,000 quintals of grain, and you actually gave us wheat bran, you are still not human...! ”
Finally... The people were furious, and they angrily questioned the servants.
But the officers had an indifferent expression, and the head catcher who took the lead laughed: "Okay... The people are not hungry, since they are not hungry, then don't eat it, and bring me the porridge pot back. ”
After speaking, a group of officials brought back the pot with wheat bran one by one.
watched the official take the pot away.
"You want us to die...!" The people were all excited.
Some of the impulsive civilians rushed to the front to snatch the porridge pots, and at this moment, the headhunters and officials, as well as the surrounding soldiers, all drew their sabers from their waists.
In the sentence of the head catcher, 'Kill me', everyone rushed to the unarmed people without hesitation, slashing and killing, killing at least fifty people, and always killing the people for fear of killing.
After the blood flowed into the river, and all the people squatted down and hugged their heads and trembled, the head catcher withdrew the blood-dripping waist knife from the scabbard and said with a smile: "The drowned victims have added more... You can continue to disagree, anyway, a big flood can drown more people, you are welcome to try my knife fast or not...! ”
