Luo Zhaoyun Weifu made a private visit to Chang'an Lifang, and found that the deviated main street, the infrastructure in Lifang was outdated, the roads were muddy, the tiles were dilapidated, the garbage was scattered, and it was in a mess, which formed a sharp contrast with the imperial city, the east and west cities, and the Lifang where officials lived.

Especially in Chunhefang, which is close to the West City Gate, it is relatively remote. Because the Great Sui Guozuo is too short, and Chang'an City is too big, many infrastructure has not yet been completed, Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was in a hurry to build Luoyang City during the Great Cause, so half of Chang'an City was deserted, and there was no time to renovate the roads on a large scale, so as to make more detailed plans.

In the war, many of the wealthy families, bureaucrats, squires and aristocrats in the city fled from Chang'an City, and the houses were so desolate that no one in the city bought more land for development, which also made the Li Fang and the land not rise, and even idle a lot, and now it has become a gathering place for refugees, displaced people, and beggars.

"When did the Guanhuayin area flood?"

The old man wiped his tears and said: "It was half a month ago, several counties and towns near Huayin have suffered, and thousands of acres of fertile land have been submerged. Huayin County ordered that the victims of the disaster would not be relieved, and we could only flee westward from the area of Huayin Tongguan, at least the capital is the place where the emperor lives today, so we can't see death without help. ”

To the west of Tongguan, are the place of the pass, but also the birthplace of the Zhou Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty in the past, the Han, Jin, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang Dynasty are all entrenched in the pass, which can be described as the foundation of the imperial court, and the people are closed together, these dynasties attach great importance to it, if the people suffer, it has a great impact on the reputation and stability of the imperial court.

Luo Zhaoyun asked: "Didn't the local county order and county guard organize relief for the victims?" ”

The old man shook his head, with a hint of anger and said: "No, Huayin County Ling Pei Chang, how dare he appear, he coveted the money allocated by the imperial court this spring, bought his own house, raised courtesans and concubines, and squandered it, the river workers of the Yellow River were not repaired, which led to the invasion of this rainstorm, the river embankment collapsed, and some men who were submerged in real estate and family members went to the county yamen to besiege Pei Chang and let him return his life, and the dog official hid and did not dare to show his face, and there was no rescue in the countryside and villages, so I waited for the displaced people to be forced to go west!" ”

When Luo Zhaoyun heard this, he immediately felt a wave of anger, and it was a corrupt official who made a mistake, and even the money and dried bean curd that repaired the river was greedy and filled it into his private pocket, resulting in the damage to the river embankment and not repairing it in time, and it could not withstand the impact of this year's Yellow River news period, causing such a big disaster.

If there are too many casualties among these displaced people, there is no rescue, and the warehouse is opened to release grain and properly resettled, it will cause even more serious consequences!

"How can this be reasonable, didn't you go up there to sue the official?" Luo Zhaoyun asked.

The old man sighed bitterly: "Alas, why didn't you go, some villagers went to Feng Yicheng's county guard to complain, but Pei Chang and Feng Yijun's Taishou Liu Yan are brothers-in-law, it is said that Liu Yan is still a person from the Liu clan in Hedong, you know, that is the Liu family, it is said that His Majesty is posthumously posthumously crowned the queen mother who died early, it is from the side clan of the Liu family, Feng Yi County is adjacent to Hedong County, this area, the power and prestige of the Liu family is very great, no one dares to move, this news, I am afraid that the county guard Liu Yan suppressed, even the court does not know it, the thief mother! ”

When Luo Zhaoyun heard this, his face was gloomy, and he was already furious, not only greedy for ink and selfishness, but also for officials to protect each other, and also involved the noble family of his cousin Liu's family, the fox and the tiger were powerful, and they were powerful and powerful in Hedong and Feng Yi, and they deceived the superiors and concealed the subordinates, which was really hateful!

Luo Zhaoyun didn't have much feeling for the Hedong Liu clan, because after he crossed back, he hadn't seen the dead biological mother Liu, and he didn't have any communication and feelings.

Growing up along the way, the Hedong Liu clan had no contact with him, only one Liu Shu, and because of the palace change, at the end of Emperor Wen, he was disturbed by himself in the change of seizing power, and became an opponent.

"After you have come here, have you continued to sue the imperial court, has anyone come to help you, Jing Zhaoyin, Liubu, has anyone gone to find you?"

The old man said with annoyance: "Not yet, the capital is too big, much bigger than our tunzi and city, I don't know the place of life, and the catchers in the square, the Jin Wuwei patrol on the street, we are homeless, go out to smear the black, and I can't recognize where the six yamen and Jingzhao Yin Si are!" However, the fang here has already recorded the matter, and it is said that it will be transferred to the officials above, and some food will be fetched, and some large squires in the nearby fang will also come to help, barely able to make a living. ”

Luo Zhaoyun's face gradually recovered, and his joy and anger were not visible, so that he could analyze rationally, rectify and solve the problem reasonably.

The imperial court is a fusion of the bureaucratic system and interest groups, it seems that this is a special phenomenon, in fact, there are many people like Pei Chang and Liu Yan in various places, how to make the officials clear, in the Central Plains feudal dynasty, is very difficult, even after a thousand years, it may not be able to solve it well.

"By the way, there are many affected places in Huayin County, are there any major casualties along the way, and what are the diseases?" Luo Zhaoyun asked tentatively again.

The old man replied: "There are several counties under the rule of Feng Yijun that have been affected by the disaster, because of the Yellow River ancient road and the coming of the flood, and the disaster in Huayin County is final, natural disasters and man-made disasters, there are thousands of people who have fled, and there are scattered along the way, and more than 10,000 people should be affected." ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, and asked the Ouchi guard to take out a few pieces of broken silver and hand them to the old man, who hurriedly thanked him gratefully: "How can this be done?" ”

"Take it, this is what the court owes you!" Luo Zhaoyun sighed in his heart, these dozen taels of silver can only solve the urgent needs of an old man in the short term, and it will not help the disaster.

The old man was grateful and left in silver, Luo Zhaoyun looked at the scene of the disaster victims gathering in the village, and planned to continue to dig deeper inside.

Zhong Dequan, the chief eunuch in charge of personal follow-up, said: "Your Majesty, there are all homeless people here, many people should be sick, and their bodies are sent out from time to time, worried about the occurrence of plague, Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, shouldering the weight of the community, and you can't get into danger!" ”

Luo Zhaoyun glared at him and said: "It is precisely because I shoulder the weight of the society that I can't ignore the suffering of these displaced people, don't worry, my martial arts have already surpassed Huajin, ordinary wind and cold diseases, and cannot be contagious, and besides, we just take a walk to understand the general situation, and go back to have a good target and prescribe the right medicine." ”

"But, Your Majesty ....." Zhong Dequan still wanted to convince His Majesty not to take the risk.

"No, however, the suffering of the displaced people is due to the inaction of local officials, natural disasters, and even man-made disasters, how can I retreat!"

Zhong Dequan's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to comply.

Half an hour later, Luo Zhaoyun roughly figured out the situation in this lifang, sighed, took people back to the palace, and did not rest, immediately went to write a secret fold, sent someone to take it out of the palace and handed it over to Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, mobilized to supervise the imperial history, and began to investigate the matter; At the same time, he sent someone to summon the Tongping Zhangshi and the Governor of the Political Affairs Hall, and entered the palace to discuss countermeasures in advance.

When Jing Zhaoyin went to the court meeting, the report came out, and then the rescue policy was drawn up together, which would be a step too late. Saving people is like fighting fires, and it is urgent to formulate a rescue plan in advance, and when the time comes, the court will be able to directly promulgate the problem and let the six ministries implement it. Moreover, Luo Zhaoyun also thought about whether there would be a disaster in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and after entering the flood season, it was necessary to send the superintendent to investigate.
