The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

In the early morning of the next day, the entire city of Fuzhou was in an uproar, and there was a heated discussion about the tragic scene that happened in the official residence of the city boss last night.

Subsequently, the bulletin board of the Governor's Mansion announced that all the officials of the Fujian City Department were corrupt, and the first offender raised Eunuch Li to death with a cane on the spot, and the remaining prisoners were pressed into the prison, waiting to be beheaded in the autumn of the next year.

For specific details, the Governor's Office and the Zheng family will invite Fujian and Guangdong merchants to stay away from Fuzhou Yushan Restaurant at the right time, and then explain at that time.

As soon as this news came out, Fujian and Guangdong merchants and maritime merchants speculated about their intentions, and some anxious people inquired in many ways, but unfortunately there was no rumor, so they had to wait patiently.

Just after noon, the original sunny weather suddenly covered the sky with dark clouds, thunder, thousands of thunderbolts pressed the sky, dazzling lightning drowned out all the light.

The heavy rain raised fine white water vapor, as if there were hundreds of rivers rushing down from the sky, through the dense rain curtain, Fuzhou City gradually blurred in the eyes, like a reflection of a rainbow.

The rain came and went as fast as it came, and after half an hour, the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, and the sound of the piano came from the attic of the backyard of the governor's palace, and the raindrops hung on the eaves like a crystal bead curtain.

Qin Haoming took off the wet clothes on the cover, walked up to the small building, pushed the door to the top floor of the north building, and sat in front of the window with a plain white willow, his white fingertips gently stroked the strings, and when he saw the figure coming in in the afterglow, he turned his face slightly and smiled softly at him.

Yan Yunniang and Qi Wanru called out to their husbands, stood up in surprise, and wanted to greet him.

Qin Haoming shook his hand gently, signaling not to disturb Liu Ru is playing the piano, sat down straight after a few cases, poured wine and listened quietly.

The room seemed quiet, the sound of rain and piano gathered together, not noisy, but made people feel quiet in the bottom of their hearts, and occasionally the sound of cheers from outside came in, disturbing the quiet atmosphere.

The stroking fingers stopped, gently pressed the trembling strings, and pursed his lips and smiled: "Too happy...... I can't even play the song well. ”

"It's rare that everyone is here, how about a song for your husband and beloved wives?"

Looking at the three beautiful relatives gathered together, Liu Ru couldn't play anymore, but Qin Haoming was interested and said loudly.

"Husband, it should be as beautiful as "Liang Zhu"!"

Qi Wanru cheered, her eyes bent into crescents, moved the stool, and got a little closer to the piano.

Liu Ru was delighted and exclaimed, please wait, hurriedly entered the house and took the pen and paper, and waited to copy it. My husband is busy with official business, but he doesn't have time to compose music often.

Yan Yunniang carefully took the dry cloth and brushed away some of the rain on Qin Haoming's body. Qi Wanru quietly stuck out her little tongue, she was born as an eldest lady, and these thoughtful little details were not as good as Yan Yunniang and Liu Rus.

"Here we go, mind you, this is a classic! If you want to learn, you have to ......."

Qin Haoming's boasting aroused the dissatisfaction of his wives, and they urged him to hurry up.

Holding his breath and concentrating, his eyes were slightly closed, and the sound of the piano sounded with the hoarse and blank voice, "Canghai laughs...... The tide on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs of the waves remember the present day, and the sky smiles...... God knows who loses and who wins......"

With the last sound, there was silence in the attic.

"How ......"

"Governor Qin, the chief guard has been waiting for a long time, it seems that there is something urgent."

Qin Haoming looked at the sluggish state of the wives and was about to make fun of a few words, when a maid's announcement came from the door.

He smiled apologetically and walked down the attic, only then did there be a coquettish voice in the room, the husband was really talented.

At the top of the stairs, Haozi held up a paper umbrella, Li Xiang had been waiting in the rain for a long time, Qin Haoming nodded at him, and beckoned to go to the office of the Governor's Mansion together.

The door was open, the copper tripod in the hall lit a flame to drive away the cold, Qin Haoming walked through the middle, handed the cloak to Haozi, and sat down towards the first big horse golden knife above.

With his legs spread apart and one hand propped on his knees, he asked Li Xiang, "What's the matter?" ”

"I just received the news from General Zhang in Guangdong that Chaoshan Mansion was hit by a typhoon, the people suffered heavy losses, and the victims were everywhere, I am afraid that the imperial court will immediately rescue the disaster."

Li Xiang handed the official letter in his hand to Qin Haoming, and he had already reported the incident in his mouth.

"I heard that the rain and typhoons all day long have caused the people of Chaoshan to suffer unspeakably, and now the victims of the disaster are migrating in all directions, flocking to Guangzhou, and the plague is spreading.

Chaoshan Mansion is a mess, and none of the people are home. ”

"Immediately ask Zhang Yun to cooperate with the local officials to deal with this matter, notify them, prepare food, and set off first."

"Immediately convene a meeting of the governor's yamen and the left and right political envoys."

"Tell Chen Yishan to mobilize epidemic prevention drugs and prepare to go, and we must control the epidemic."

"Ask Zhang Yun to count the number of people in the epidemic, and don't let local officials fake."

……

The gaffe is urgent, Qin Hao knows the rules of officialdom, and he does not bully the king for officials, but the place where the king sees is limited.

In the event of a natural disaster, the officials reacted very quickly, how many houses were washed away, how much land was flooded, and how many silver taels were lost in the first half of the night...... The data came out in the second half of the night.

As for man-made disasters, the spread of the plague, the number of casualties ...... The processing method is completely different, if you can hide it, you can hide it, but if you can't hide it, you will squeak, and you can't get the exact data for a long time.

In the event of a disaster, as long as the officials in charge go to the scene to deal with the aftermath, it is generally not a dereliction of duty. And the more severe the disaster, the more relief is often received.

Generally speaking, judging by the severity of the disaster, the so-called "turning a major incident into a small one and a small one into a small matter" has become an unspoken rule for some officials to "turn evil into good fortune."

But he couldn't tolerate it, so he dealt with it urgently, hoping that the officials in Guangzhou would not let him down.

Otherwise......

Far away from the capital, the victims of hunger and sickness, dressed in tattered clothes and moving their cracked feet, rushed towards the most prosperous area of Guangzhou.

"Master! Let's eat! ”

"Uncle...... Okay, let's enjoy the stuttering, the child is dying......"

"Please, uncle! Please...... Let's enjoy some food! We're all hungry......"

There were desolate cries everywhere, there was no vacancy in the market, and everywhere was crowded with unkempt and ragged victims.

"Childe! Please take this girl in! She can do anything, just ask you to eat and not starve! ”

The victim of the disaster pulled the hem of Zhang Yun's clothes weakly, looking at the young man in front of him, who appeared in front of him like a savior, and he didn't care about any etiquette, just asking for food to fill his stomach.

"Old man! Hugh is unreasonable! Let go of my son-in-law's clothes! ”

The attendant on one side angrily scolded this bold beggar-like old man, and when he saw that he refused to let go, he was ready to fight.

Zhang Yun stopped, with a look of pity. These are the people of the Ming Dynasty!

Now he's displaced, scrawny, and looks like a skeleton. The unkempt and ragged child was dying of hunger, and he was chilled to see it.

After the flood, the victims of Chaoshan Prefecture gradually poured into Guangzhou City, but he was dumbfounded for a while by the fact that there were so many victims in front of him.

Although the government has opened a warehouse to release grain, it can't resist the situation of more monks and less porridge, and countless mouths are waiting to be fed.

The scene in front of me is really miserable. Death from illness and starvation is commonplace. Sell children and daughters, and even don't want money, just ask that the children can be taken away so that they can have food and not starve to death with adults!

The tattered, thin and dirty clothes, the earth-colored cheeks, the dull eyes that had lost their sparkle, pierced his heart deeply!
