Chapter 1062: King Fu's Dog
In order to take care of the face of the two high mansions in Chang'an, this opinion was not excessively publicized, and it was only transmitted to Qianzhou in the form of the prince's private notes.
However, everyone who should know about it in a small area knows.
Although Gao Xianxing is a little unsightly, who made him unable to control the Lu family and let her run to Chang'an to embarrass people?
Then the bitter taste that should be tasted, he must taste it.
Yang Lizhen was reprimanded by Li Zhi several times, and the prince warned her that she should not inquire too much about the court.
But the strange thing is that things in the court that should only be known by a few people can always let her know. It's all because she has a sister-in-law.
When hearing the results of the disposition of the Lu family, Yang Lizhen was not very satisfied.
Because the Lu family is just a little away from her, the palace person, and there is no change in other aspects, and the Lu family may still talk a lot about her good things in the future.
What finally made her feel a bad breath was that the Qianzhou Assassin Shi Gao Juan had lost face for this, and his face was actually beaten by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of the Lu family.
However, Yang Lizhen also has a further understanding of her righteous sister Wu Meiniang, she is really not simple!
Because of her falling horse, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dismissed a master from the ninth rank without even blinking an eye.
Yang Lizhen had just seen some ways from this matter, and the side room from the Qianzhou Zheng Sipin Thorn History had fallen into the hands of her righteous sister again.
And the trigger for this incident is likely to be a nonsense he casually made up to the Lu family.
Yang Lizhen said to Wu Meiniang: The Lu family used to show off, and among the people who held silver license plates, few were qualified to rank in front of her surname Lu.
Yang Lizhen believes that this heel planted by the Lu family must be artificially designed.
But she didn't dare to say it at all, and only occasionally thought about it, and Yang Lizhen couldn't help but shudder.
Yang Lizhen sometimes thinks pessimistically that there is a big gap between her and her sister Wu Meiniang.
……
Quanzhou to Chang'an 2,880 miles, after the overflow, the Jingshi only eight days later learned of the disaster, the assassin Zhao Jia's grasp of the basic disaster situation is still very good.
On the evening of the day of the incident, the county magistrates of Jinjiang, Nan'an, and Putian counties in Quanzhou each summarized the casualties and approximate property losses in their counties, and quickly reported them to the Quanzhou Assassin's Office.
Jinjiang, Nan'an, Putian all have a coastal cofferdam, under the impact of the monstrous waves that come in an instant, the cofferdam of the three counties has several miles of collapse, don't look at the number of miles of the weir collapse, but the collapse is the high dam in the low-lying place.
The impact and destructive power of the sea overflow has never been seen in ancient times, and the great water penetrates everywhere it passes, knocking down people's houses, drowning people and animals, and soaking up all the grain hoards and firewood and grass in the countryside.
Most of the houses that have been washed out in the countryside are poor families who are not very sturdy.
The county warehouses in each county are also flooded, and the ground in Quanzhou is a mess after dawn, and the number of decay is everywhere.
On the one hand, Zhao Jia mobilized officials at all levels to treat the wounded and bury the dead, and on the other hand, he asked the three counties to find high open places to dry grain and grass.
The victims have to eat, and they can't even do it.
But the sky was overcast, and there was not even a sun. Zhao Jia immediately ordered to open the Quanzhou warehouse, and set up more than a dozen large stoves in the four city gates to cook gruel and make steamed cakes, which were supplied free of charge.
On the first day, he only had time to arrange these things, but there were four counties in Quanzhou, and there was no news from one county yet.
Unlike the three counties mentioned above, Gaohua County is not on the land, but in the sea.
Due east of Quanzhou, you can reach Gaohua Island by boat for one day, this small island in the sea within a radius of 123 miles has its own county, that is, Gaohua County.
Zhao Jiashi was worried that Gaohua County, which was not high, must have also been affected.
He quickly sent Zhao Changzhen, the governor of Quanzhou, to take people and sail across the sea to Gaohua County to understand the situation.
Zhao Changshi took a few accompanying officials and sailed a boat to Gaohua County for a day, only to learn that the situation there was even more serious. Because the first wave of Haiyi splashed on the ground, it first leveled the place.
The county's only small wooden pier was gone, and the few boats broke their cables and were swept away by the waves.
At present, only ships can be seen in the county, and one is the one driven by Zhao Changshi.
The house is not good, and 20% of the 600 county residents are missing and 30% are injured. Before Zhao Changshi arrived, Gaohua County ordered a hurry, and he had been hungry for two days, so he was already weak.
On the third day, the disaster situation of Quanzhou Haiyi was clarified.
And the report that delivered the disaster situation only ran on the road for less than five days! Zhao Jia guessed that Chang'an would definitely send a large number of people down to preside over the disaster relief as soon as possible, but no matter how fast it was, the distance was there, and it seemed that it would have to rely on self-help at present.
He first collected useful boats to transport food and the wounded to Gaohuayu, and then sent several doctors and tents to the island.
After that, the counties were mobilized to recruit civilian service for reconstruction.
The first step is to dredge the grain field silt caused by the overflow. At this time, it is the time when the rice is budding and beating, and every day is related to the yield of the season in Quanzhou.
However, the flood caused most of the crops to lodging, and the tide was salty, and the seedlings died. At this time, Zhao Tingshi was just a dead horse and a live horse to come to the doctor.
Of course, there are more urgent things to do, such as mobilizing manpower to rebuild collapsed houses so that villagers have a shelter from the wind and rain. In addition, the roads need to be repaired to allow for the transportation of bricks and timber and the reinforcement of cofferdams......
Otherwise, who knows if there will be another overflow?
The most pressing task for the three counties on land and one county in the sea is to solve the grain problem.
There was no sunshine for several days, and the grain stock in Quanzhou was decreasing day by day, and the climate here in August was humid, not only did the firewood for cooking not dry up, but most of the grain in the counties was moldy.
Half a month later, a large number of patients appeared in each county, with symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, first edema, and then emaciation.
Zhao Jia took his subordinates to run around, and soon realized that this large-scale illness was due to people eating moldy food and being attacked by moisture.
As a result of this campaign, the number of people who can be used to fight the disaster has been drastically reduced, and dredging and reconstruction projects in many places have been at a semi-halt.
Zhao Jianshi is nearly sixty years old, half a life of conscientiousness, clear government affairs, after serving in Quanzhou, he also governed this place in a harmonious manner, and never caused any trouble to Chaoyan.
Unexpectedly, this time Haiyi made him stumble, described as withered, and felt that there was nothing to love in life.
He wrote an official letter and sent people to the nearest Fuzhou to ask for help: for medical treatment, medicine, food, and money. Even if the disaster is over, it is okay for Quanzhou to return the full amount.
Zhao Tingshi knew that although it was also affected by Haiyi, due to the terrain and distance, Haiyi's impact on Fuzhou was very small.
But Li Yuanying, the governor of Fuzhou and the king of Fu, didn't even reply to a letter, and Zhao Jia didn't even dare to ask.
Fuzhou is a central governor's mansion, and the governor is a positive third product, which is only one level higher than Zhao Jia, the assassin of Quanzhou.
But Li Yuanying is the youngest son born to Emperor Gaozu and a Liu surnamed Baolin, and he is a prince, how dare Zhao Jia say more?
Twenty days later, three fast boats from Jianzhou, 200 miles away, arrived in Quanzhou along the Jinjiang River, which flowed out of the lofty mountains of Wuyi Mountain, and sent 3,000 catties of relief grain raised by Jianzhou free of charge.
The time when Jianzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rong got the disaster in Quanzhou was more than ten days later than Chang'an, and it was because of the slow pursuit that so much was delivered.
However, although Jianzhou belongs to Shangzhou, it is located in the deep mountains, and there are many mines and few fields, Wang Rong said in a handwritten letter to Zhao Jia that the Jinjiang River can not be used as a big boat, and there is only so much he can take out.
Lord Zhao, don't dislike it. Brother, Wang Rong.
Zhao Jia, who is almost sixty years old, has a straight figure, a neat face, likes poetry, writes well, and has always paid attention to his appearance in front of people.
But at this time, Zhao Jia, who had a beard, his official robe was wrinkled and his boots were stained with mud, he was holding the letter from Jianzhou in his blood-blistering hands, regardless of the presence of many subordinates, he couldn't help but cry, "Ashamed of Li Min, ashamed of Your Majesty."
However, even if the steamed cakes are canceled and only gruel is served, he can finally maintain it for a few days with the help of Jianzhou.
The words and deeds of the assassin were touching, and many frail civilian servants spontaneously went to the construction site, and monks from monasteries all over Quanzhou spontaneously gathered and rushed to help.
Most of the monasteries are built in the mountains, which is dry and quiet, so there is nothing to lose in the overflow.
A total of 260 young monks from Kaiyuan Temple, Zizeguan, Jingshan Temple, Mida Temple, and Bixiao Temple carried the burden down the mountain to send fresh vegetables and grain grown by themselves, and the goods did not leave when they were sent to future generations, so they stayed on the construction sites to work and help the poor and weak.
A month after the overflow, 70,000 yuan from Qianzhou was also delivered.
Zhao Jia was overjoyed, and he didn't know why so much money was sent to Qianzhou, which was thousands of miles away. This is really a blessing in disguise!
He counted the days with his fingers, calculated according to the distance, and in another ten days and a half months, the people from Chang'an should always arrive.
A few days ago, he received a message from Kuaiyi, saying that the new Master Shangshu Gao of the Ministry of War was on his way to Quanzhou with his wife. It's just that to this day, the tall man still hasn't arrived.
But there is always a place of hope, and when he thinks that the burden on his body is always lighter, Zhao Jia feels that he can support it for a few more days.
But as soon as he thought about it, something big happened.
There was a death in Jinjiang County! Two local servants fell into the Jinjiang River and were drowned by the river, but they were not rescued.
It is not surprising that a person died in the catastrophe, but the fatal thing is that this murder case is related to the blessing king Li Yuanying. As soon as the case came out, it immediately aroused the anger of the people, and there was a momentum that could not be suppressed.
The people near the place of the incident in the county were holding shovels, pickaxes, axes, nail rakes, and pickaxes on the construction site, and the village women were holding shovels and iron spoons to surround the perpetrators in the three layers inside and outside the three layers, and the cries of the families of the deceased, the barking of dogs at the scene, and the roars and insults of people were endless.
Liu County of Jinjiang County rushed to the construction site and took the officials to control the situation at the scene, but there was another spark, and the fire ignited.
He sent someone to report the assassination of Lord Shi, and when Zhao Assassin Shi heard the news, he put everything down and rushed to the place of the incident.
Quanzhou Thorn Mansion is located on the north bank of the Jinjiang River, and Lord Zhao wants to rush to Jinjiang County nearby, only to take a boat to ferry over.
He and his men hurried across the river, then mounted their horses and walked up the muddy road.
Ten miles away Huazhou Village originally had a wooden bridge across the river, the bridge piles on both sides were fixed, each half stretched into the river, the middle of the bridge deck picked up a piece of 15 steps wide trap, one end has a wooden shaft, the trap was put down when passing people, and the trap was picked up when crossing the boat.
The problem was that the trap on the bridge was washed away by the water when the sea overflowed, and the only wooden bridge connecting the north-south official road had a fifteen-pace-wide break in the middle of the river, which could not be passed by people and horses.
Liu County Commander of Jinjiang County, according to the instructions of the assassin history, is organizing the dredging of rice fields at this time, and after nearly a month of hard work, it will be completed soon.
In the next step, Liu Xianling will naturally shift his energy to road repair.
But on this day, four large carts came from the south official road, carrying huge wooden cages, which were subdivided into three layers, each with an independent wooden lattice between them, and a fierce vicious dog was tethered to each wooden lattice, and each cart was full of twenty or thirty pieces.
This is a convoy led by Chen Fan, a royal official of the Fuzhou Metropolitan Governor and Fu King Li Yuanying, who was sent by Li Yuanying two months ago to lead more than 20 guards from the Governor's Mansion to various parts of Lingnan to buy odd breeds of fighting dogs.
The world has been peaceful, the war has been going on for a long time, and the folk entertainment that first arose in Chang'an and Luoyang has countless dog fights.
Chang'an East City, Luoyang North City has a dog fighting workshop, up to the rich officials, princes and grandchildren, down to the ordinary people, street ruffians, there are people flocking to it.
Dog owners with their own fighting dogs entered, each other looking for a fighter, the scene of the fight, next to the guess winner bet A, bet B, a fight is often hundreds of money, thousands of taels of silver to win or lose.
And a good dog may be able to win thousands of fortunes for his master.
At present, a new way of playing is being implemented, which is called "biting pigs". The dealer is responsible for preparing the strong pigs, while the dog owners are in partnership with three or five companies, each of whom pays a hundred dollars to share the money for the farmer to buy the pigs. Then they released their fierce dogs and swarmed up to bite the pigs.
If the pig is bitten to death within the specified time, then several dog owners who share the money will kill the pig and share the meat, and the dealer will return the money. Not only is the pork given away for free, but also according to the bets placed by the dog owner and the people around him who bet on the victory, and pay it according to the times.
Otherwise, the dealer and the person who bet on the pig wins.
Therefore, in the current two capitals, everyone knows that a good dog is more expensive than a cow.
A fine bull is only 4,200 yuan, and a good fighting dog can be fried for tens or hundreds of taels of silver, and if it is more, it needs to be valued in gold.
At present, the two Beijing dogs are in full swing, and good dogs are in demand, and King Fu is looking at the market, and is anxiously waiting to transport these dogs to Chang'an and Luoyang, so as to make a lot of money.
He issued a death order to Chen Fan, who was in the army of the Fuwang Mansion, to send these dogs to Chang'an and Luoyang by early October at the latest.
Because in October, even the crabs in the river are full of yellow, how much more so those who have harvested and collected the rent? In their arms, there must have been a lot of yellow and white things in their arms at this time!
Chen Fan hurried along the way, counting the days and still being able to catch up.
It's just that as soon as the convoy entered the boundary of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou, the road was muddy, and in some places there was not even a road to be found.
It was easy to rub to the bridge in the north of Huazhou Village, but the wooden bridge was impassable!
Fa Cao, who was holding back his anger, joined the army, and Lord Chen Fan, who was on the seventh rank of the seventh rank, immediately asked his subordinates to summon Liu County Commander of Jinjiang County, and said to Chen County Commander not very happily:
