In the first year of Xianqing, on the fifth day of the ninth month, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the back garden of the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion, Lang Lang's reading voice is slightly immature and full of vitality. Wu Yue Pavilion by Daming Lake, gilded hollow silver scent ball, emitting curling green smoke, the fragrance is refreshing. As the green smoke thinned out, Qian Shunxin approached, turned on the warm incense burner, and lit a new incense.

The big guy was still taking a lunch break, lying on the pear blossom wood recliner, his brows condensed into pimples, and his facial muscles were tense. Seeing this situation, he had a nightmare again, and Qian Shun sighed silently. Since leaving Kuozhou, the big guy seems to be a magic barrier. I have nightmares during naps, and I am often woken up by fright, and I am probably worried about the disaster area.

After the tsunami, there was a vast ocean, full of devastation and ruins everywhere. Dead bodies floated in the water, silt covered the corpses, and some people had livestock. Houses were destroyed, food was soaked, fields were flooded, and people wept bitterly.

Listening to the heavy gasp, he interrupted his thoughts, the big guy's chest rose and fell, and his facial features gradually became hideous. Qian Shun was worried, tiptoed over, and called out in his heart. After shouting five or six times in a row, I heard a low and muffled hum, a black shadow flashed in front of me, and my chest was hit.

The body couldn't control it, and the low couch behind him knocked over, and the incense burner fell in half. The body retreated sharply, and the spine hit the pavilion pillar, and in an instant, the eyes were full of gold stars. The stomach turned over the river and the sea, wow, spit out sour water, and felt the cold light flash, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The big guy is me, I'm a straight." ”

The throat is cold, the big guy is murderous, the blood-red eyes, the hideous scar, and the tense nerves. Qian Shun's scalp was numb, and I don't know how long it took, but I felt the cold disappear. The big guy looked gloomy, threw away the dagger in his hand, and said sorry.

Qian Shun wiped the cold sweat, quickly cleaned up the low couch, and combined the incense stove. After quickly cleaning up, he struggled for a moment, and said: "You are the governor of Yuezhou, and you are only in charge of the military power of the five states, not the five state affairs." The aftermath of the disaster area in Kuzhou, the rescue of the victims, the imperial court will deal with it, and you shouldn't worry about it. ”

After a long time, Wu Kang opened his eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not because of the tsunami, it's the nightmare I had recently, and it has nothing to do with the victims." I dreamed of A-Niang, her face was pale, she was bleeding and tearful, and she was disemboweled. Calling my name, she was cold and hungry..."

Qian Shun's nose was slightly sour, and he comforted in a low voice: "You don't have to blame yourself, it was an accident, no one would have thought that my aunt was in the rebel camp." You were wearing a mask at the time, and she couldn't recognize her, everything was a misunderstanding. ”

Wu Kang was miserable: "I still dreamed of Xiucai, covered in blood, so cold and hungry." Repeating a sentence: one will eventually become eternal, don't be rash. Junko you, what does he want to express, what does he want to remind me? ”

Qian Shun pondered for a long time and tentatively said: "Literally, don't be kind to a woman, and deal with problems rationally." The subordinates think that you can't take it lightly, no matter when, Xiucai will not harm you. Why don't you find a time to burn money for your aunt and Xiucai, and ask him to dream again. ”

Wu Kang nodded, slowly got up, and patted him on the shoulder: "I always believe that no matter when, you will not harm me." You can arrange this matter, take your wife to Pheasant County, and pay homage to A-Niang and Xiucai. Also, is there any news from Pinglang, has Long Qiusheng entered the city? ”

Qian Shun shook his head and comforted: "Don't worry, Wu Kai's father and son have excellent medical skills, no worse than Long Qiusheng." According to what his subordinates heard, Long Qiu was born as an elder, and his ancestor was Long Qiu Chang, and his temper was very eccentric. The subordinates are worried, Pinglang please don't move him, or do you go and invite him personally? ”

Wu Kang was noncommittal, pulled out a grim smile, and heard Longqiu Chang. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in Longqiu Mountain, that is, Jiufeng Mountain in Jinhua County, and was known as the ancestor of the sages. In order to commemorate him, Li Er analyzed Xin'an and Jinhua in Zhenguan for eight years, and set up Longqiu County, which was under the jurisdiction of Wuzhou.

Long Qiu was born at the age of eighty-two, a well-known miracle doctor, and according to a large shelf, he never went out to see a doctor. But my father is seriously ill, and I have to wait in front of the bed, and I am not in the mood to look at the thatched house. You'd better know the current affairs, no matter how big the shelf is, you can't help but slash with a knife. couldn't help but sneer, and said lightly: "He will come, either a person or a head." ”

This is the style of the big guy, Qian Shun's scalp is numb, and he hopes that Longqiu will get acquainted. But then again, the old man is not right, isn't it good to eat in brocade clothes? Do you have to beg on the streets, you have to be a big man, just like my family?

Suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly reported: "Half an hour ago, Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia and Luo Bingwang had something important to see. At that time, as soon as you fell asleep, your subordinates took it upon themselves to let them stay in the living room for a while, and asked the boss to forgive their sins. ”

The three confidants came together, it was definitely not a thing, and Wu Kang would not delay any longer. When they came to the vestibule living room, the three of them looked panicked, briefly greeted each other for a while, and sat down as guests. looked at Di Renjie and got straight to the point: "What happened, why are you worried?" ”

Di Renjie groaned and put on a smiling face: "The rice seeds of the imperial court last year were distributed to Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou; The ones introduced this year were allocated to Yuezhou, Taizhou and Raozhou. The lower officials listened to it, and the history of the assassin in Kuozhou was dissatisfied, and he applied for it several times, but there was no news. ”

This can't be helped, Yangzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River and Shanghai in Datang; Suzhou, Hangzhou and Taizhou are warehouses of money and grain, and they must be given priority. Thinking of this, he sneered and looked at the three of them: "The dissatisfaction of the history of the Kuozhou Assassin and the policy of the imperial court have nothing to do with us, don't pay attention to it." ”

King Luo Bin had the most anxious temper, he was too lazy to beat around the bush, stood up and said: "Xiaguan is worried that the history of the assassination of Guzhou will take revenge on Wuzhou because of this." Xiaguan received news that more than 5,000 households were displaced in the two counties of Yongjia and Angu. ”

Wu Kang's face changed slightly, and King Luo Bin continued: "Nearly 6,000 households, at least 50,000 disaster victims, where do they go to beg for food?" First of all, I will go to Kuocang County, which is where Kuozhou City is located. But the problem is that it will take at least a month for the imperial court to provide relief grain from Luozhou Hanjiacang, to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then to Kuozhou City. ”

The living room was silent, and Zhang Khan added: "In May this year, Kuzhou suffered a drought, and grain production was greatly reduced. They do not have the ability to settle tens of thousands of victims. If I were the Thorn of Kuozhou, I would encourage the victims to go to Wuzhou, where there is Zhancheng rice, and there is a bumper harvest for two consecutive years. ”

Wu Kang was shocked, stood up suddenly, and strode out of the door. All the way to the study, standing in front of the huge map, staring at the junction. Kuocang borders Yongkang, and the victims pour into Yongkang, and will soon come to Jinhua, and finally to Wuzhou City.

After a long silence, Di Renjie glanced at his colleagues and took two steps forward: "Wuzhou Zhancheng Rice, no one knows, no one knows." The average yield per mu is two hundreds, and two seasons can be harvested every year, and the people have sufficient grain storage. Xia Guan thought that even if the assassin was not instigated, the victims would flock to it. ”

Wu Kang closed his eyes tightly, and a wry smile climbed up his face, it was really a beautiful wood in the forest, and the wind would destroy it. At present, only Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the harvest lands of Zhancheng rice, all in the north of Wuzhou. Wuzhou bears the brunt, 50,000 hungry displaced people, what is that concept?

If it is not handled well, what is the concept of homeless people becoming mobs? I didn't dare to think deeply, but I felt that my eyes were black and my head was buzzing. Listen to Di Renjie again: Human nature is selfish, food is the life of the people, and the people will not give charity. As a result, conflict is inevitable and the consequences are unimaginable.

With a loud bang on the desk, Wu Kang's face turned hideous, and he roared hoarsely: "I know all this, I don't know, how to deal with it?" How to prevent the victims from entering Wu, how to avoid bloodshed, how to ensure the safety of the Wu people, give it to me! ”

Everyone was silent, and when they saw the big guy angry for the first time, they bowed their heads in fright and were silent. Pretending to be deaf and dumb like this, Wu Kang was even more angry, and his murderous aura filled the study. Qian Shun saw the big guy running away violently, and hurriedly left quietly. In less than five minutes, he came over with a tray, followed by Mrs. Xingyang.

Qing picked up the teacup, motioned for Qian Shun to stand outside the door, came to the front, and handed the teacup in his hand. Two minutes later, Wu Kang sighed silently, reached out to take the teacup, and slowly sat down. Qing didn't say a word, moved the Taishi chair, sat next to her husband, and smiled at the three of them: "You all sit down, Shunzi goes to serve tea." ”

Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia saluted their wives and sat on the bench opposite. King Luo Bin is dissatisfied, this is a political matter in Wuzhou, how can Mrs. participate? Zhang Khan Zhi frequently made his eyes, Lao Luo was entangled for a moment, and sat next to Di Renjie.

Wu Kang soothed his emotions and felt a little ridiculous, and roaring didn't solve the problem. Put down the teacup in his hand and muttered for a moment: "Is it feasible to requisition all the Wu soldiers, line up along Jinhua and Yongkang, and block the victims from entering Wu by force?" ”

Completely bad idea, Di Renjie tactfully reminded: "Without the holy decree of the imperial court, neither the governor of Yuezhou nor the assassin of Wuzhou has the right to impose martial law on the border." If martial law is really imposed, it will intensify the hostility of the victims and provoke criticism from the imperial court. You love the people of Wuzhou, the saints love the people of the Tang Dynasty, please think twice. ”

Luo Bingwang added: "What Di Gong said is true, this move adds fuel to the fire, and if the victims riot because of this, the consequences will be unimaginable. The court blamed it, the dismissal of the official was, and it was a big deal to ask the guilty and go to prison, and the big guy was asked to think twice. ”

Wu Kang's face sank like water, Zhang Cambodia hesitated, and also made a suggestion: "The big guy has never fought an unprepared battle. Therefore, the lower official suggested that the bad guards should be sent to Kuocang County, Kuozhou, to inquire about the movements of the victims and report the disaster situation in a timely manner. At the same time, rumors were spread and soft measures were adopted to prevent the victims from entering the country. ”

completely take off your pants and fart, everyone is despised, and the common people are not stupid, they won't believe it at all. But then again, it's a must to find out about the disaster. Only by keeping abreast of the situation and understanding the situation of the victims can we better respond.

Qian Shun received the order, turned around and left in a hurry. The stakes are high, not only bad people, but also security guards have to be moved. Wu Kang's five fingers moved slightly, tapping on the desk rhythmically, and said lightly for a long time: "Next topic, after the victims enter Wu, how do we deal with it?" ”

The study was silent again, and I don't know how long it took, Di Renjie spoke: "Wuzhou fluorite mine, thirty percent is in Yiwu, and seventy percent is in Yongkang." It can be like this, Yongkang is a big county of business and taxation, and it is also the lifeblood of Wuzhou, so there can be no difference. Xia Guan suggested that the victims of the disaster should be evacuated and introduced into Jinhua County. ”

Luo Bingwang objected: "Di Gong's words are wrong, Yongkang is the economic center, Jinhua is the political center, and it can't be chaotic." When the victims enter Jinhua County, they will arrive in Wuzhou City after only 30 miles, how to deal with them then? ”

Zhang Cambodia and the mud: "I don't know about sightseeing, the south of Yongkang County is a mine, and the fertile land is concentrated in the northeast, and the distance is even farther away. As we all know, Wuzhou City is the most prosperous, even if it doesn't guide... Tens of thousands of victims will not be willing to look far away. Instead of them running around, it is better to take the initiative to guide and it is easier to manage. ”

Cui Qing coughed lightly and shouted softly, and the maidservant girl rushed in and served tea to everyone. The meeting was forced to be suspended, and Luo Bingwang was even more dissatisfied. Fortunately, his wife is virtuous and never participates in political affairs, otherwise with the temperament of a big man, the government will fall into the hands of women.

After a long silence, Wu Kang pondered deeply, and sighed helplessly: "According to your law, it has become a foregone conclusion that the victims will gather under the city of Wuzhou. So, may I ask you, should you let the disaster victims into the city, or build a temporary porridge shed outside the city gate? ”

Luo Bingwang immediately spoke: "You must not enter the city, the number of victims is too large, at least more than 40,000 people." Whether it can be settled, let's not mention it for the time being, just the issue of public security. If the plague is allowed into the city, theft, robbery, fighting, and even adultery against women will follow. ”

The lice on the bald man's head, if they can't be restrained, the city will definitely be smoky. All kinds of violations of the law and crimes, and the frequent occurrence of criminal cases, are bound to destroy public order. Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia expressed their agreement and strongly opposed the entry of the victims into the city.

Wu Kang also thought so, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and proposed a new topic: "How much grain is stored in Wucang, and how much grain can be bought with those fluorite and copper coins?" Assuming that there are 50,000 victims, how many days can it last? Can you survive and the imperial court relief arrives? ”

His eyes focused on Zhang Cambodia, Lao Zhang closed his eyes and calculated, and quickly shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "Xiaguan estimates that within ten days at most, the victims will gather under the city of Wuzhou; Relief grain arrived in Wuzhou for at least 25 days; The grain storage in the Wuzhou warehouse lasts for five days at most. ”

The meaning is self-evident, at least a ten-day food outage, don't be so pitted. People's **, only drink water and don't eat, it's no problem to stay up for ten days, but the soul doesn't agree. Tens of thousands of starvation victims dared to do anything, and even gathered people to rebel.

Now at the beginning of September, the land rents in various states have arrived in Hanjiacang early, and they cannot collect grain nearby. I can't help but miss my previous life, the railway and aviation, the rescue came in an instant, and the 50,000 victims were not a problem at all. There are also donations from all parties, which are difficult to achieve in Datang, and food is the life of the people.

With a long sigh, he looked at Zhang Cambodia: "I have talked to you before, and all the commercial taxes in Wuzhou have been exchanged for grain in case of emergency." But you just don't listen, thinking that there is enough food, and the commercial tax is used to hoard fluorite. Do you regret it now, can you eat fluorite, write a 5,000-word review. ”

The three of them were ashamed, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing, these are useless. Just as he was embarrassed and speechless, someone shouted outside the door, three words "don't take medicine". Qingdeng's color changed, and he looked at his husband anxiously, looking extremely nervous.

Wu Kang got up slowly, his face was extremely ugly, and instructed Di Renjie: "Inform all colleagues that in half an hour, the second hall of the state government will hold a meeting." Everyone must be here, including Changshi Changsun Quan, do you understand? ”

Without waiting for them to respond, he strode away, and his figure disappeared from the courtyard. Qing left the desk and explained with a smile: "I feel cold when I make trouble, I don't take medicine well, the medicine is too bitter." This child is spoiled, and he has to be coaxed by his husband so that he can take medicine obediently, and I ask you to forgive me. ”

The three of them didn't even dare, so they bowed down and left in a hurry. Ran to the Governor's Mansion Chai Courtyard, heavily armed security guards, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry. signaled to the security guard to be exempt from courtesy, walked into the east wing, and instantly had red circles.

The old man was half-lying on the hospital bed, his eyes glazed over, his teeth clenched and his lip clenched. On the white beard, there is a black medicinal soup, and the quilt is wet. The husband sat on the edge of the bed, holding a medicine bowl in his left hand and a soup spoon in his right hand, stiff in mid-air.

The hand trembled slightly, and the medicinal soup overflowed from time to time, flowing down the spoon. The pink fist gradually clenched, in fact, in her heart, she hated this father-in-law. The temper is more stubborn than that of the husband, once he decides on something, he will not hit the south wall and will not look back.

You don't want fine clothes and food, begging all day long, completely crushing your body. Every time I came home, I stayed in the firewood house and kept counting the rice. Every time you come back, your husband is overjoyed and will hide in the kitchen to cook the best dishes.

Every time, I was disappointed, leaving with a tray, and the food was not touched. The husband lost his mind, locked himself in the study, and ate it all in tears. Then he took out the needle and thread and sewed the garment, with the eyes of the needles on his fingers. It was the hand with the knife, and it couldn't hold the needle at all.

After the clothes are done, they will be given to you in a hurry, and the result will be the same. The husband ran to Jinhua Mountain, knelt in front of Manjushri, and begged for forgiveness. You fell ill four days ago, and your husband traveled to Kuocang County in Kuanzhou to bring you back to Wuzhou.

But what are you doing, how can you practice like this without taking medicine? That's a pro-son! Thinking of all kinds of past, I couldn't help it anymore, and ran to the bedside: "Uncle is an elder, there are some words, daughter-in-law shouldn't be, but you are too much." ”

"Farewell..."

"Shut up!"

Cui Qing completely went berserk and vented all her grievances: "The pit killing of 3,000 prisoners of war is the holy decree of the imperial court, how dare you disrespect the decree when you join the army?" Why put the responsibility on the husband, it's not fair. ”

Wu Kang put down the medicine bowl and pulled her sleeve to leave. Qing struggled violently and continued to vent: "Chasing Chen Shuozhen, the husband killed his aunt by mistake, it was an accident at all. In order to hide this, Xiucai died innocently, that was his best brother. ”

"Don't..."

Qing cried bitterly and continued to roar: "My husband was kicked out of the house and came to Wuzhou alone, and after a lot of hardships, he finally got ahead. Ever since you disappeared, you've been searching for it every day, often waking up from nightmares. You can be inconsiderate, why do you want to do it? Do you have to be satisfied if your family is ruined? ”

Hu Ba said something, Wu Kang was furious, covered her mouth and pulled out. Haru, who was emotional, struggled violently and knocked over the stool. The medicine bowl fell, fell apart, and was instantly silent. When the heart was like a knife, a childish child's voice sounded: "Daddy doesn't beat his mother, he will cry if he makes trouble." ”

Wu Kang hurriedly let go, wiped his face in his sleeve robe, quickly picked up his daughter, and forcibly squeezed out a laugh: "It's a misunderstanding, Daddy didn't beat his mother, never will." Trouble and mother, are Daddy's favorites, and they will never be scolded. ”

Harushi turned around, her shoulders twitching, covering her mouth and crying. Seeing Grandpa, he leaned sideways and struggled out, stretching out his hands and begging for a hug: "The princess came to see the trouble, the trouble is so happy, Daddy hugged me over, and the trouble asked the grandfather to hug him." ”

Wu Kang nodded again and again, and approached the hospital bed again, his eyes full of pleading. A few minutes later, Dad slowly raised his hand, less than half a foot, and fell again, tears welling up from the corners of his eyes. It can be seen that he likes his granddaughter very much, but he doesn't have the strength to pick up his granddaughter.

Fat hands, touched shriveled cheeks, wiped tears from the corners of his eyes: "Taigong doesn't cry, Daddy, take medicine when you are sick." ”

Father Wu was in tears, his lips kept twitching, and he spit out the words with difficulty: "It's useless to take medicine, my eldest mother is here to pick me up, and my grandfather will leave soon..."
