Huai'an is located in the north-central part of Jiangsu, north of Xuzhou Haizhou, south of Yangzhou, the government is on the south bank of the Yellow River, close to the Grand Canal port, the economic lifeline of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Huai'an and Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou are listed as the four major cities, is the hometown of Han Xin, Liang Hongyu, Wu Chengen, Shanyang has produced hundreds of scholars, but also won the champion, Bangyan, Tanhua Sandingjia, the first prime minister later, is also a person here.

Open the map of the Ming Dynasty in China, you can find that the place where the Yellow River enters the sea is Huai'an, from the junction of Henan, Shandong and Jiangsu, from west to east, flows through the whole line of Xuzhou, and then flows through the Huai'an line, passing through the west, south and east of Huai'an, and flows into the Pacific Ocean.

This phenomenon began in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it is no exception in this time and space, it is not difficult to imagine that the Huai'an flood will definitely affect Yangzhou, so the first episode of the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" shows the scene of refugees in Yangzhou, and people who are not familiar with this period of history say how can the Yellow River affect Yangzhou? Instead, he scolded the screenwriter for being mentally retarded.

In fact, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River were only separated by a Yangzhou Mansion.

Then open the map of the Qing Dynasty in China, and compare the canal route of Huai'an with the Ming Dynasty, you will find an obvious canal diversion, from Weishan Lake to Hongze Lake, the canal of the Ming Dynasty is in the east, and the canal of the Qing Dynasty is in the west. Because the Yellow River seized the Huai, because the Yellow River blocked the Grand Canal.

Then mark the location and frequency of the flooding of the Yellow River, and we can see a truth, the flooding of the Yellow River in history has become a fan-shaped area in eastern China, and the hub of the fan is in two places, Wuzhi and Xingyang in Henan, these two places face each other across the river, and Huai'an belongs to the fanbone area, so it is not difficult to understand why the Qing Dynasty put the governor of the river, one in Qingjiangpu and the other in Wuzhi.

The flooding of the Yellow River is the more frequent it is at the end of the feudal society, and the Dashun of this time and space will inevitably encounter this problem.

Qinghe in the northwest of Huai'an, on the east bank of the Yellow River, into this county town of the south boat and north horse, Jia Cong tried to keep a low profile, rented a few rooms in the Dragon King Temple to live, and without waiting for his instructions, Sun Fu had gone to check whether all the honor guards were missing, and Ming'er was about to enter Shanyang and officially handle official business.

"I don't know where the Qin family has been......" Jia Cong in the house squatted on top of the silver box, he received a letter from Qin Zhong in Dezhou, it stands to reason that the Qin family should be faster than him by water, but they can go slowly, there is a river barrier problem in northern Jiangsu, and it is possible to slow down for a few days.

After doing a few sit-ups and push-ups, Jia Cong washed up, and after the meal, he didn't want to disturb the local county government, so he didn't write a word, so the county order of Qinghe waited, and since he arrived at the destination, Jia Cong wrote a few letters first, one to Jia Zheng and one to Baochai Qingwen.

In the letter, Jia Cong reported the safety of his itinerary and the bright future, and tactfully persuaded some things at home, in short, everything looked forward, for the wives and concubines who could not stop the feelings of longing even if the mountains and rivers were far away, Jia Cong expressed his deep thoughts, gentle condolences, and in-depth exchanges with the literary style of the champion, vaguely explaining that he missed Baochai's plump snow body, Qingwen's cherry Fan Sukou, and Yangliu's small waist, and also demonstrated from the side that he was not stealing outside, not raising lovers, and not opening meat for a month, which was very uncomfortable.

In order to show Jia Shi's innocence, he quickly asked Wu Sange to go to the carriage and horse shop to send a letter, and he felt bored that night, in fact, Jia Cong also had a purpose, preparing a private visit to Weifu, investigating the situation, if he came with a black eye, then what kind of fun.

……

And say that the canal wharf of Qinghe, the south boat and the north horse, endlessly, the prosperous scene is only a little worse than Yangzhou, it is said that it is the prosperous age, the people in it have the pain of the journey, the wharf willow bank, between a group of travelers who enter the city in the evening, a woman is very conspicuous, snow skin and long hair, nepotism fluttering, if no one is next to the horse to lead the horse, the back also hired a mother-in-law to drive the carriage, the wheel print is not shallow, it shows that the things transported are not light.

This woman's body has the grace of a Jiangnan woman, but her face is not close, but even so, there are people who touch their chins and smile evilly, and a few come up and ask: "Do you need us?" Negotiable? ”

This woman is Miaoyu, and she doesn't look at people squarely: "No." ”

"Dao Chang is polite, hehe......" A dozen people rubbed their hands: "We are all people who are warm in the valley, when we arrive at the temple, in the dead of night, the Taoist chief and we chant scriptures, knock on the wooden fish, let us climb to bliss, and it's okay to don't need money......"

Miaoyu turned around and left in disgust, but the people who fought were entangled all the way, and only then did she understand how difficult it was for a woman to be alone and in danger, and she had no power relationship at all, so she secretly complained bitterly, and left Jia Cong with a little regret.

At this time, it has turned into the Guanxiang road near the city, and there is a middle-aged man wearing a square scarf in the carriage nearby, who looks like a gentleman, and the master of the staff who eats mixed rice in the yamen, Miaoyu wanted to ask for help, but the master picked up the fan and picked up the curtain and looked at it for a long time, then put it down and continued to move forward, without interfering.

"I knew that I would have been with Jia Cong all the way, even if I was indecent and had a bigger appetite, I wouldn't have died without help...... But now I don't say goodbye and beg him again, but I can't pull my face...... In the past, Chen Yuanyuan also wanted to protect Wu Sangui, although I was born as an official eunuch, I was alone and alone, and it was not a ...... after all."

When she saw that the street in front of her was congested, noisy, and people were distracted, Miaoyu finally put her mind at ease.

This place is under a four-pillar and three-door archway, I wanted to fish in troubled waters, and dragged Miaoyu to a secret place to play, but I didn't know that a few eunuchs came out of Qinghe here for the first time, and the poor men who took the lead in leading the county government were talking to a few merchants on the street, just like the people who blocked the road and robbed, seeing this, the people who fought did not dare to move.

"It's Gonggong Liu's ......"

"Let's see if we want to join the gang, this beautiful Taoist girl looks very delicious, I don't know if it matters, if it doesn't matter, it's cheaper, let's ......"

"That's right, everyone took turns to play, and they could still divide her body and sell it as venison, wouldn't it be both rich and rich? And looking at the weight of his carriage and horses, there is a lot of oil and water, tsk, if it is an official girl, why does he only have a mother-in-law? ”

The paddy field clothes worn by Miaoyu were adapted from Taoist clothes, and they brought hair to practice into Buddhism, but ordinary people thought she was a Taoist priest, not a nun.

She wanted to take advantage of the chaos and walk away, but the street was full of people, the carriages and horses couldn't go at all, as well as her antique property and the master's coffin, so she had to stop, and the middle-aged minister also got out of the carriage and stood up to watch.

I saw a merchant wearing coarse cloth in front of him begging: "All the officials are doing well, the little old man is really a businessman, from Yunnan and Sichuan, the Yangtze River all the way down, Jingxiang Huaiyang, all the passes pay taxes, what is wrong with the grass people......"

"It's not a matter of whether you pay taxes or not, I just know that you call yourself the king of betel nuts, and the rich merchants of Huaiyang also call you so......" A little eunuch rode a horse and whipped him, and scolded: "Boldly Diao people, you don't know the whole world, is it not the king's land, the shore of the land, is it not the king's minister?" How dare you encroach on the throne? Left and right, take it, a great achievement! ”

The rich merchant of the betel nut king trembled with fright.

Jia Cong on the other side also happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, I don't know what to say Liu Zhiyuan, in order to blackmail, he actually said that the betel nut king is arrogance, so shouldn't the demon king of the mixed world and the dumb overlord also clean up? What a world?

On the second floor of the shops on both sides of the street, there are people who open the windows to watch, obviously they don't have much sympathy for this rich businessman in Yunnan, they want to laugh but don't dare to laugh, one of the children is puzzled: "Mother, yesterday I played with the dog, he said he was the king of Daxi, I said I was the king of Chu......"

"Don't be king!" The woman gagged in horror.

Several storytellers have already made a draft, and the script of "Gonggong Liu went to Huaiyang and scared away the betel nut king in Yunnan" will spread all over the south of the Yangtze River in a few days.
