Chapter 62 The Yellow River Bursts

Trade in the South China Sea is abundant

The Yellow River burst its embankment and the people suffered

No one can convince anyone, so let it be.

There was a doctor of Taixue who ran to the Privy Council silently. After Han Yanxuan was dismissed, he still worked here. Unexpectedly, Han Yanxuan entered the palace, so he reported the matter to the official Xu and asked him to tell Lord Han. Seeing the nervous expression of this Taixue doctor, Xu Yan smiled: It's okay, Lord Han hasn't passed through any strong winds and waves, what can a few Taixue students do?

During this time, Lee In-woo returned.

This time, I took the southern route to go out to the Beibu Gulf of Guangxi, and arrived in the Persian Gulf via Cochin, Champang, Chenla, Siam, Moyi, Foqi, and India. After sailing thousands of miles and going back and forth for three months, I have gained a lot of knowledge and made a lot of money.

At first, I didn't get used to it at sea, the waves shook my head and I vomited all the bile, and after about ten days, I got used to it, and I was able to go on deck without throwing up. Later, every day I walked on the deck to see the endless sea and the cloudless blue sky. After a long time, he felt bored and bored, and everyone else was gambling money, he didn't dare, and he didn't bring much money, but fortunately, the boat boss knew that he was a relative of Han Tiju and always took care of him.

Once, there was a typhoon on the sea, and the waves were so great that they rushed to the ship, and they shook so badly that everyone was afraid. I was thinking, Buddha bless, if I can go back safely this time, I must give more money for salutes. Later, the ship entered the harbor, anchored and docked, and the wind slowly subsided.

This time, the goods were mainly spices, treasures and medicinal herbs. I went ashore and prepared one for the lifter. By the way, Lord Tiju also asked me to bring a set of fine official kiln ceramics to Uncle Seven, and in addition, I brought some jewelry back. The items bought back were pulled to Fan City, and under the guidance of the Minister of Fan, they were quickly sold out. This time, I bought and sold, in addition to various expenses, I bought some Quanzhou specialties, and made a net profit of 200,000 yuan.

Li Renyou said this, Han Yanxuan was happy, and Renyou was suffering. Later, you will send the jewels to the ladies to make them happy.

Lee In-woo happily responded. However, be ready to checkout.

Han Yanxuan said: There is no hurry to settle the bill. Uncle Seven has thought about it for you, you rest for a day or two, and then go to all parts of Lin'an City with the housekeeper to have a look, buy a house, and Uncle Seven will give you all the expenses. After choosing, I will ask the housekeeper to send someone to clean up, with furniture and other items, what about you, go back to Yingzhou, bring your mother, daughter-in-law, and children here, let them enjoy the happiness, you can also save running back and forth, you go to sea, and the seventh uncle is easy to take care of.

Li Renyou wanted to say something, but Han Yanxuan asked: Why, Uncle Seventh is not thoughtful, are you not satisfied?

Li Renyou smiled and said: Satisfied, how can I not be satisfied, I have money, how can I let Uncle Seven spend money.

Han Yan's face tensed: Don't say it again, just do as I say.

Li Renyou had no choice but to agree, listen to Uncle Seven, hey, Uncle Seven, listen to the neighbors say, now you are a cow, the emperor trusts you, and even the prime minister is defeated under you.

Han Yanxuan said: Renyou, Uncle Seventh tells you, I am not a lion or tiger, I can bite and eat people, but I am not a cat or a puppy, no one can bully us casually. Look up to me, treat me as a friend, everything is easy to say, but if you don't know what to do, give the master a hard one, the master is not easy to mess with.

Li Renyou stretched out his thumb, Uncle Seven, you are a real man.

After returning to Yingzhou, Han Yuanqing also came.

This time, he brought a few volumes of "Shufu Yuan Turtle" to Uncle Seven, which were sent by the descendants of the servants of the Han Mansion back then.

"Shufu Yuangui" is a historiography book compiled by the Zhenzong Dynasty, which can be called a huge work, a complete set of 1,000 volumes, and "Taiping Yulan", "Wenyuan Yinghua", and "Quantang Wen" are combined into four major categories of books.

When the Jin soldiers went south, the Han family moved south, and in a hurry, tens of thousands of books could not be transported away.

Last time, Uncle Seven paid money to ransom those who were slaves for his maids. In one of them, only the old couple had a young grandson, and a daughter sold to the landlord's family as a servant. The little lady was only eighteen years old, she looked white and delicate, the old landlord was a thief, and often bullied him, the little lady was so angry that she committed suicide several times, and she was rescued by the seventh uncle's money. The old couple was very grateful, so they remembered a few books left by their ancestors and asked me to give them to you, saying that the books had the words and seals of the ancestors.

Han Yanxuan opened a volume casually, and sure enough, there was a great ancestor's comment on the brow of the page, and there was a strip-shaped seal on the title page of the book, with seven characters on it: Xiangzhou Han Qi Wanjitang. Although it is incomplete, it is indeed a good object.

After eating, Han Yanxuan asked: Is Xiangzhou's New Year's Eve good this year?

Han Yuanqing replied: It's okay. Uncle Seven, let me tell you, this autumn, Anyang people are so scared.

Oh, what's going on?

From the twenty-ninth year of Kim Dae-jeong (1189) to the last year. The Yellow River embankment of the Jin Kingdom broke three times, killing and wounding tens of thousands of people. First, the Yellow River burst in the north of the small embankment in Caozhou, because in winter, the water was not large, and more than 20 villages were flooded. The year before last, the Yellow River burst its banks in Weizhou, flooding eight counties in the three prefectures of Daimyo, Cheongju and Cangzhou. Tens of thousands of people were left homeless and went out in droves to beg for food.

The most powerful was last August. The upper reaches of the Yellow River have been raining heavily for several days, the river water is surging, Nanjing Kaifeng is in the north, Yangwu old embankment is to break open a big mouth of more than 100 meters, the surging flood is accompanied by sediment, rushing to the southeast, just one day, Fengqiu County is a vast ocean, the flood is waist-deep, and the livestock drown countless people. The flood rushed into Liangshanbo in the area of Shouzhang, and divided into two streams, one to the north, from the Beichao River into the sea, and the other to the south, from Surabaya into the Huai, flooding the river west of Huaiyin. As a result of this flood, the northern flow of the Yellow River near Tianjin was completely cut off, dozens of places in Surabaya and the Huai River burst, 100,000 mu of farmland was affected, and tens of thousands of houses collapsed. That big water is less than 100 miles away from our Anyang.

Han Yanxuan asked: The Yellow River bursts its banks at every turn, and the Jin Imperial Court doesn't care?

Han Yuanqing replied: No matter what, it costs a lot of money every year, and each family draws strong men to repair the embankment. When I repaired it, I knew that the embankment would be heightened, but the sediment in the river would accumulate and the riverbed would also increase.

Then send someone to dig up the mud and sand at the bottom of the river.

The river is so deep that there is no way to get it on the boat, and people are washed away without paying attention, so no one can do anything to give them.

Oh, this Jin country has occupied our Central Plains, and it is not so easy to govern it well. This group of barbarians, in addition to attacking cities and plundering land, killing people and setting fires, what else will they do, and do they have the talent to govern the Yellow River?

Seventh uncle, many of us in the Han clan want to defect to the Great Song Dynasty, what do you think?

defected, and Da Song did not object. The key is what to do with the family's fields and real estate? I came here, how to arrange it, where to live, and what to do for a living. Besides, you will definitely not be able to drag your family and mouth, so what about your parents, old people, wives and children.

When will the Great Song Dynasty take back the Central Plains, we Han clansmen have been looking forward to it for decades.

Well, one day there will be a northern expedition to the Jin Kingdom to restore the Central Plains, but it is impossible to say when, it depends on the preparation and the strength of the Jin Kingdom.

Then I will leave God and report to you the affairs of the Kingdom of Jin.
