Chapter 107 The Proletarians Appear
Huo Guang, who hadn't slept all night, watched a team of cavalry leave Monolith City, as if he had let go of a matter of his heart and returned to the room to fall asleep.
Yun Lang also got up very late, and the three of them talked for a long time last night, and they didn't fall asleep until dawn.
If it weren't for the Tiger King coming in and urging Yun Lang to prepare breakfast for him, Yun Lang wouldn't have gotten up.
The last time he had a bone spur stuck in his throat, it left a deep shadow on the tiger, and now, he no longer believed in Yun's cook.
Unless Yun Lang personally got him food, he would rather be hungry than eat.
Yunlang's breakfast is soy milk and fried dough sticks, but Tiger's breakfast is a pot of mutton without any bones.
Fifteen catties of meat in a pot is the tiger's ration for a day, fortunately, this guy only needs to eat one meal a day to be full, otherwise, it is definitely a chore to let Yun Lang get him mutton every day.
This place in Monolith City is very strange, when I get up in the morning, the sky is still clear, and after Yunlang has breakfast, it is already covered with dark clouds.
The black clouds had just appeared from behind the mountain, and they had already arrived at Monolith City in an instant.
Because there are too many high mountains, the air flow in the northwest is disordered, and the white clouds on weekdays fly faster than the galloping horses.
When dark clouds covered the sky, it quickly darkened.
Yun Lang sighed, hoping that this dark cloud would not bring hail.
There are two kinds of bad weather in the northwest that have the greatest impact on the people, one is hail, and the other is the cold spring.
In the past two years, Yunlang has not encountered the terrible weather of snowfall in May, nor has he encountered hailstorms.
He only hopes that his luck will continue.
The rain in the northwest was so crisp that there was no thunder, and after a few bits of rain fell from the sky, the torrential rain poured down.
After the rain curtain covered the heavens and the earth, the water on the eaves fell in a hurry.
Yun Lang stood under the eaves and reached out to catch the rain, and the rain hit his hands painfully, but he never felt the hail falling.
The tiger, who had not experienced heavy rain for a long time, jumped into the rain and walked carelessly in the torrential rain, as if reminiscing about the years he spent in Lishan.
After the fluffy tiger hair was drenched by the rain, the fat tiger became a scrawny tiger, no longer with the majesty of the past.
The rain grew heavier and colder, and at last the tiger could not bear it anymore, and returned to the eaves to shake his fur and accept the service of two servants.
That's what Yun Lang fears, the rain gets colder, which is a precursor to the formation of hail.
The generals brought a chair, and Yun Lang and the tiger sat under the eaves and waited for the hail to fall.
The houses in Monolith City are indeed very good, especially after being washed by the rain, the color of the cyan stone has become darker, and it is far more beautiful than the blue brick house.
The torrential rain in the northwest generally came and went quickly, and after two hours of heavy rainfall, the waterlogged pond in front of the city lord's mansion was already half filled with water.
Fortunately, the hail that worried Yun Lang did not fall after all.
However, he was already very sure that the Qiang people living in the mountains must not have escaped this doomed hailstorm.
Not because of how magical Yun Lang is, he stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance, and the mountains in the distance were already covered with a layer of white.
The rain continued to fall, and the Shiyang River began to become muddy, even the water of the moat surrounding the Monolith City became muddy.
The mudslide began to flow into the Shiyang River.
When drowned sheep began to appear in the moat, Yun Lang couldn't help but sigh after all.
The disaster in the mountains must be terrible.
"Order the Wuwei County Guard to prepare food, prepare supplies, set up tents, send government officials, and the army into the mountains to rescue."
Yun Lang had no choice but to issue a disaster relief order to Sima Qian's subordinates.
Zhao Yi, the newly arrived county guard of Wuwei County, hurriedly said: "Junhou, the mountains are full of Qiang people, and there are no Han people.
Moreover, the Qiang people have multiplied in this land for hundreds of years, and there are still ways to deal with such disasters. ”
Yun Lang said: "That was before, in the past, there were no managers in this land, and the Qiang people could only carry them themselves when they encountered difficulties.
Now, we are managers, and since we collect heavy taxes from others, we have an obligation to help them, so that they feel in their hearts that there is a big difference between someone managing and no one else. ”
"The prince wants to buy people's hearts?"
Yun Lang smiled bitterly and said: "This is our responsibility, let's go, if we feel that there is a problem with disaster relief in the name of the state pastor's office, we will use the name of Your Majesty to do it." ”
Hearing Yun Lang say this, Zhao Yi, the guard of Wuwei County, took the order and left.
The disaster was far worse than Yun Lang imagined.
The torrent plowed out 31 trenches on the Gobi, and the deepest trench was three feet deep.
The newly built official road was also washed away in six places by the flash floods.
The two fields that the Han people saw were about to be harvested, but more than 1,000 acres were also destroyed by the flash floods.
The Shiyang River was almost silted up by the mudslide brought down by the flash flood, but fortunately, the river channel here is wide, so the Shiyang River has not been diverted.
Yun Lang looked at the river full of boulders and silt in front of him, and almost couldn't recognize that this was the Shiyang River, which was beautiful in the past.
The only cheerful ones were the group of Qiang children that Xiahou Jing bought, who were barefoot and caught fish in the muddy field.
Xiahou Jing walked out of the muddy field with a wooden stick, and when he saw Yun Lang, he pointed to the Shiyang River behind him: "The water conservancy here still needs to be repaired." ”
Yun Lang nodded and said, "This is a big disaster, if there is a real big disaster, the Shiyang River will be diverted, which will endanger the monolith city."
I really don't know how people here used to deal with it. ”
Xiahou Jing said with a smile: "The land is vast and sparsely populated, what is there to deal with, if the river wants to be diverted, just change the course, people just follow it, anyway, it is some rotten thatched houses."
Now it's different, your city has been repaired, and the Han settlement has been built, so it is not possible to let the river be diverted at will.
If your monolith city wants to become an important town in the northwest, you must make it suitable for people's life, so that people are reluctant to abandon it, and would rather make great efforts to continuously renovate it. ”
Yun Lang didn't see the first Zhan, and Xiahou Jing was very accustomed to standing at the front of a group of Han people, and every word she said could attract a group of people to echo her.
Repulsing those Han farmers, Yun Lang looked at Xiahou Jing and said, "How did you become the leader of the immigrants?" ”
Xiahou Jing laughed and said, "Is there anything strange about this? ”
Yun Lang nodded and said, "This is really not difficult for you. ”
"The prince wants to make Liangzhou his lair, so controlling people's hearts is an inevitable trend, and the prince himself can't do such a thing, wouldn't it be better for the old father to come forward?"
"You're already doing this."
"It's better than Dong Zhongshu sending someone to do this."
Yun Lang is right to think about it, Xiahou Jing is now pinching his pulse, and everything he does seems to be thinking about the Yun family, but he is actually planning for himself.
also used Liu Che's existence to force Yun Lang to pinch his nose and agree with his approach.
However, Yun Lang is not angry, with Ryazan here, how hard Xiahou Jing works today, how strong the Yun family's foundation in Liangzhou will be in the future.
From this point of view, in this world, whoever has an early layout will be able to take the biggest advantage.
"Nagato Palace is very experienced in establishing schools and pharmacies, and it is also very sincere, why don't Mr. Xiahou go and fight for it?"
"You mean, you're going to tie the academy to the pharmacy?"
"That's right, the biggest reason why Gillian has been honored by the people as the 'Mother of the Nation' over the years is that the Changmen Palace is willing to take out thirty percent of the income to support these schools and pharmacies.
The children of the common people go to school, and their families rely on the Changmen Palace for medical treatment, and they all say that it is the money and food saved by the Gillian nobles, and they are dedicated to doing good things for the people.
After so many years, His Majesty did not dare to target Nagato Palace easily.
I think we should do the same in Liangzhou. ”
Xiahou Jing chuckled and said: "Ryazan is preparing for this matter in Chang'an, and the day before yesterday he wrote that he had the honor to meet the noble Gillian, who was very interested in running a school in Liangzhou and opening a pharmacy. ”
Yun Lang smiled slightly, solemnly took a step forward and arched his hand towards Xiahou Jing and said, "In this way, this Shiyang River embankment, as well as the water conservancy by the river, please sir." ”
Xiahou Jing spread out his hands and said: "There is no manpower, no money and food, how can you let the old man do such a great cause?" ”
Yun Lang pointed to the hail on the distant mountain and said: "The Qiang people in the mountains have suffered a great disaster, and a certain family has already sent a servant, and the sergeant has entered the mountain to pick up those Qiang people who have suffered from the disaster down the mountain, and I think that Mr. Lai will soon have manpower."
As for the money and food, the Wuwei County Guard will naturally allocate it. ”
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, pointed at Yun Lang and said, "Can the Qiang people who went down the mountain still return to the mountain?" ”
Yun Lang shook his head and said, "They lost their cattle and sheep, and they can't go back." ”
"How do they live? Just rely on working for the government? ”
"That's right, after the affairs of the government are done, you can also do things for businessmen and wealthy people, in this place, all people have family property, which is inappropriate, and there is always a need for some people who have nothing to work."
Xiahou was silent for a long time, raised his head and looked at Yun Lang and said, "The prince is so vicious!" ”
