Chapter 1585: The Sorrow of the Ants
Shaanzhou belongs to Dugi Province, which is under the jurisdiction of Luoyang, and it happens to be at the junction of Dugi Province and Gyeonggi Province, which is a waterway to rush.
Han Yi, Zheng Shanxing, Ono and others rode fast horses, hurried overnight, and finally arrived at the scene of the incident within three days.
The location of this incident is very famous, it is the famous Sanmenxia.
The reason why Sanmenxia is famous is not because of the Three Gorges Dam, but because there are pillars in the river, commonly known as Sanmen Mountain, standing in the stormy waves, the river flows, and the mountain passes, and the word "mainstay" comes from this. It was not until the construction of the Three Gorges Reservoir in later generations that the Sanmen Mountain was blown up, leaving only a pillar stone. Not only that, there are reefs at the bottom of this river, and the river is turbulent, which is very dangerous, but this is the only way for the waterway to Chang'an.
At this time, hundreds of people were gathered on the banks of the river, and in front of them stood dozens of people, all dressed in uniform, the first of whom was in his thirties, short in stature, with a big belly, and he was seen pointing at the man in front of him with a leather whip in his hand.
"What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and work for me."
"If you want us to work, okay, you give us enough food first, or you won't want us to work."
"After losing so much food, you didn't starve to death, you should be content, and you dare to ask for more food."
"No wonder we waited for this, if you weren't in a hurry, how could such a big accident happen, if you don't give food, we won't work."
"We want food."
"We want food."
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around. Lao Tzu has to teach you a good lesson today. ”
I saw that Humpty Dumpty was rolling up his sleeves and cursing at the same time.
"Stop."
Only a sound and a shout were heard.
Everyone looked back and saw thirty or forty flying horses galloping towards this side.
"That--- I've seen that person in Beixiang, it seems to be the famous Han Xiaoge, and now the Hubu Shangshu."
One of the sharp-eyed fellows whispered in the ear of the man with the whip.
The people who came were Han Yi and Zheng Shanxing.
"Han Shangshu?" Humpty Dumpty shuddered and hurried over.
And the servants had a look of fear in their eyes.
"Appeal ——!"
"The villain sees Han Shangshu."
Han Yi looked at the vast number of servants, and couldn't help frowning: "What's going on?" ”
The Humpty Dumpty man immediately said: "Returning to Han Shangshu, it's all because this group of Diao people is unwilling to work, and they also use this to blackmail the villain and ask the villain to give them more food." ”
After this accident, the ship had to run aground, tinker, and in short, there was a lot to do.
"Nonsense!"
I saw a young man muster up the courage to stand up and say: "We have been working day and night for the past few days, but the food you have given us is getting less and less. ”
Zheng Shanxing couldn't help frowning and glaring at the short and fat man when he heard this, his angry expression was really rare.
And Han Yi only frowned slightly, and said, "Are they telling the truth?" ”
"Han Shangshu spares his life!"
The Humpty Dumpty man immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "It's not that the villain refuses to give them food, but the villain doesn't dare to give it, the boat that stored the dry grain has sunk, and the rest is the grain of the imperial court, and now that so much grain has been lost, where does the villain dare to touch this grain, the villain really has no way to ......." ”
Han Yi said: "You are Xing Jiang who is in charge of this Cao Yun?" ”
The Humpty Dumpty man hurriedly said: "The villain is not, the villain's name is Song Wu, but he is a walker." ”
Han Yi said: "What about Xing Jiang?" ”
"Boss Xing, he-he ——!"
"What about death?"
"No ——-!" Song Wudao: "After the accident, Boss Xing disappeared. ”
Han Yi said: "Is life and death unknown, or has he run away?" ”
Song Wu hesitated for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Ying-I should have run away, after the accident boat docked, the villain also saw him." ”
After Han Yi heard this, his mood did not fluctuate, because the Tang Dynasty was very strict in managing Cao Yun, this accident was so big, and it was because of the mistake of Cao Yun Officer, this Cao Yun Officer would definitely be beheaded, and if he didn't run, he would be a fool. Get off the horse and wave towards Song Wu.
Song Wu glanced at Han Yi apprehensively, and walked over tremblingly.
Han Yi asked, "Do you know what food is used for?" ”
Where did Song Wu dare to speak out, he didn't know what Han Yi was thinking in his heart, so he shook his head.
Han Yi said: "I'll tell you now, this food is for people to eat, understand?" ”
"Understood. Got it. Song Wu nodded straightly, but Han Yi's tone made them panic, or they supported him to do this, but Han Yi didn't support him in doing this, so he should be blamed, but Han Yi's tone didn't seem like he was going to blame him, in short, it felt very weird.
Han Yi sighed and said, "You can step aside first." ”
"Yes!"
This Song Wu and his subordinates hurriedly stepped aside, feeling relieved in their hearts, at least Han Yi didn't ask him on the spot.
Han Yi stepped forward and swept away, only to see that these servants were all ragged and weather-beaten, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said: "I am Han Yi, the head of the household, and I have come to deal with this matter, and the most important thing at present is not to have any more dead people, so your first task is to take care of yourself, I promise you that I will not let you go hungry again, and I will deal with this matter as soon as possible, so that you can go home early." ”
And those laborers were stunned for a long time at first, as if this happiness came too quickly, and then they thanked Han Yi one after another, and many people cried when they heard that they went home.
Han Yi led his hand to Zheng Shanxing and said, "This is the Zheng director of the household department, he will take over here and arrange the rest of your work." As he spoke, he said to Zheng Shanxing again: "I'll leave it to you here." ”
Zheng Shanxing nodded.
In this regard, Han Yi asked himself if he was far inferior to Zheng Shanxing, his purpose was to stabilize the situation here first, and after handing over these labors to Zheng Shanxing, Han Yi beckoned to that Song Wu again.
Song Wu hurriedly walked over.
Han Yi asked, "How many people died?" ”
Song Wu was stunned, and said timidly: "The villain has been busy with food and ship mooring in recent days, and he still hasn't had time to count the number of people before --- time." ”
Han Yi said: "Is there a roster?" ”
Song Wudao: "The roster is in the criminal boss, and the villain is not clear." Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "And this can't be investigated, because after Boss Xing left, many servants ran away, and they also took a lot of rations. ”
Han Yi was curious: "Then why didn't you run away?" ”
Song Wu sneered: "The villain and the people who stayed here are both from Chang'an, and they still have wives and children at home, so --- so ---! ”
"I see." Han Yi nodded slightly, and then asked, "How much food has been lost?" ”
Song Wu suddenly said with a sad face: "We have escorted a total of 30,000 stone of grain to Chang'an on this trip, and it has not yet been counted, but --- but according to the villain's estimate, I am afraid, I am afraid that we will lose nearly 10,000 stone of grain." ”
The loss of one-third is very terrifying, and 10,000 stone of grain, that is really a number, you must know that the grain shipped to Taicang is the best grain.
Han Yi only nodded slightly, his emotions did not move, and he said, "Tell me about the specific situation at that time?" ”
"Yes."
Although Han Yi's tone was very calm from beginning to end, Song Wu was still very scared, after all, the difference in level was too far, and he didn't dare to hide anything, so he told Han Yi 1510.
The specific situation is similar to what Zhang Daxiang said before, that is, in order to complete the task on time, Xingjiang ignored the danger and forcibly crossed Sanmen Mountain, which caused such a big disaster, but the specific reason was not so simple, because of the landslide in Zeling, which was more than ten miles away at that time, which caused a torrent, and the torrent also carried trees, which caused great damage to the fleet.
In fact, there were no people on the boat at that time, and they were all pulling the boat away on the shore, but many servants were dragged directly into the river, which is really very sad.
At this moment, Zheng Shanxing suddenly walked over and said, "Han Shangshu, you have to hurry up and distribute food, they haven't eaten yet." ”
Han Yi nodded and said to Song Wu: "Didn't you hear what Master Zheng said, don't hurry up and release the grain." ”
"Yes, yes, the villain will go."
Song Wu hurriedly summoned his subordinates and went to the grain ship with some laborers.
Zheng Shanxing glanced at Song Wu with a displeased expression, and said to Han Yi: "I really didn't expect you to be polite to this kind of person, this person's life is at stake, he is still worried about food, it is really unreasonable." ”
Han Yi smiled bitterly and said: "There must be pity for this hateful person, they are just a group of ants, if I beat them with a whip, what is the difference between them." Forget it, it's no wonder that they don't stay here, and all these laborers are scattered everywhere, then they will be left in the grass, or they will rob their homes, which will cause great trouble to the people in the surrounding area. ”
Zheng Shanxing said: "It's all to blame on that Xing Jiang, if he wasn't in a hurry, how could something happen, and after this incident, he even left, this kind of person really deserves to be killed." ”
Han Yi smiled: "Why are you so angry today?" shouting and shouting at every turn, it's not at all like you usually. ”
Zheng Shanxing was stunned, sighed, and said: "I just feel very sad, this court says every day that the people are the foundation, but if something really happens, everyone is taking care of themselves and thinking about themselves, who cares about the life and death of the people." At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty worked 100,000 people, built the canal, and the dead and wounded were exhausted, and my dynasty said that we should learn the lessons of the destruction of the previous dynasty and take it as a warning, although the casualties are not as good as the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, but they did the same thing. ”
"Let's take care of the matter here first, and then complain to Your Majesty!" Han Yi smiled and said, "What do you think should happen next?" ”
Zheng Shanxing pondered for a moment and said: "I think we have to go to search and rescue quickly, although the river here is turbulent, but these laborers are familiar with the water, maybe there are survivors, even if it is the dead, then the body has to be disposed of, I think it is impossible to send it back, but a monument must be erected." Alas... If they had done it earlier, they might have saved some lives, but they were all young people, and there was no need to think about it, there must be old and young in this family, alas, ....... ”
Speaking of the back, he only sighed.
Han Yi nodded and said, "That's it." ”
PS: I suddenly found that there was one more alliance leader, and I finally completed the goal of the Ten Leagues, which is much more comfortable, thank you very much for the reward of "Blue Wind and Rain". At the same time, I owe a more, or that sentence, there is no delay, everyone can rest assured.
