Chapter 468: Heartbreak

"Mr. Yaofu really has an unpredictable opportunity, astronomy and geography, knowing everything, this heavy rain makes Mr. calculate accurately. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Cui Xifeng said with a smile.

Opposite him, sat a thin middle-aged man, wearing a cloth shirt, with a square scarf, three locks of beard, fluttering and sprinkling, delicate eyebrows, a pair of narrow eyes, containing divine light, just the appearance is amazing, everyone has to say, not mortal!

Speaking of which, this person is indeed extraordinary!

His surname is Shao, his name is Yong, and his name is Yaofu. In later generations, he also has a more resounding name, called Shao Kangjie, since the Qin and Han dynasties, when it comes to easy learning and cultivation, this Shao Kangjie is almost the first person!

Cui Xifeng said with a smile: "Mr. Yaofu, you have studied the number of days, this rainstorm is coming as scheduled, does it mean that the destiny of heaven returns?" Can Mr. Yao Fu assist him to replace the Zhao family? ”

Shao Yong raised his head, looked at Cui Xifeng, and sighed imperceptibly.

"Cui Gongzi, you are also familiar with the Book of Changes, and the meaning of the Book of Changes is clear, that is, Tianxingjian, and the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. Even if the number of days is like this, the manpower is not enough, it is in vain! ”

"Hahaha!"

Cui Xifeng laughed loudly, "Mr. Yaofu, our Cui family has accumulated thousands of years, and when it comes to wealth, no one is invincible!" Over the years, tens of thousands of dead soldiers have been trained, and in Yan'an Mansion, for example, nearly 10,000 people have obeyed our orders. Then there were 100,000 male soldiers in Western Xia, thinking that they were strong reinforcements. Now that there is a shortage of salt in the northwest, and there is a catastrophe, as long as the flood is rampant and the people are homeless, will they not rebel with us? Even if you can't take the country of the Great Song Dynasty, it is still possible to grab the northwest corner and be a Li Yuanhao. With Mr. Dacai, as long as you are willing to be loyal to you, I will immediately make you a national teacher! ”

Shao Yong listened to this guy's tongue blooming lotus, and after talking for a long time, he smiled slightly, "Childe, the old man is just a man from the rivers and lakes, how can he delay Childe's imperial hegemony, I can only wish Childe a victory, and he will get his wish." ”

After finishing speaking, Shao Yong closed his eyes and read something silently in his mouth.

Cui Xifeng looked at it for a while and snorted, "Mr. Yaofu, sooner or later, one day, you will be willing to assist me." ”

When I came out of the room, I happened to see the big fat man with bun eyes. Cui Xifeng said with a calm face: "Take good care of him for me, you must not let him run away!" ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Baoziyan nodded vigorously.

……

The rain kept falling, and the water level of the salt pond kept rising, and the original turquoise water turned a faint yellow, and the ridges on the edge of the salt pond were filled with water.

At this time, the salt pond could no longer dry salt, and half of the dried salt was put into the warehouse, and half was packed in a makeshift straw shed.

Sima Guang was very anxious, and he had to go to see it every few hours, for fear that there would be a water leak and a month's hard work would be wasted.

What made Sima Guang even more anxious was that the amount of water in the upper reaches of the Yellow River was also increasing, and from below Longkou, the water level soared and the water flow was turbulent. Originally, the salt of the pond had to be transported to the main stream of the Yellow River by waterway, from the water to the main stream of the Yellow River, and then upstream, through the Longmen, and transported north to Yan'anfu, or after entering the Yellow River, and then by Weishui and Luoshui, the salt was transported to all parts of the northwest.

For bulk transportation, waterways have too many advantages over land transportation, and the number of ships carried by a ship is ten times and a hundred times that of horse-drawn carriages. Sima Guang had already made preparations, he recruited a large number of slender men, and spent a huge amount of money to collect ships.

Seeing that everything was ready, I didn't expect that in August, it would rain so much.

Standing on the edge of the Yellow River, far away, you can hear the sound like a cow's roar, the river is agitated, filling the valley, and constantly gushing up.

Even ordinary streams have turned into tumbling rivers.

After years of development, the Loess Plateau has long lacked vegetation protection, and a heavy rain has caused mud and sand.

A monstrous flood, not to mention going upstream, transporting salt, even on the road, will be washed away by the torrent. Sima Guang's heart continued to sink with the violent rain.

After calculating it, it just didn't count the weather, who would have thought that God would actually play a joke with them!

If this continues, the flood will become a disaster, and the people in the northwest will suffer.

However, there is the Cui family inside, and there is Xixia outside, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble.

Sima Guang was really a little desperate, at least he didn't have the courage to face this situation.

He silently looked in the northwest direction, "Master, Master, you have created so many miracles, if you can break through this time, the disciple is really convinced......"

There will be a drought this summer, and there will be heavy rain in the autumn!

This is what a scribe named Chen Shunzhi told Wang Ning'an.

"What do you think is going to happen with this rain?"

"It's worse than ever." Chen Shunzhi said worriedly: "Xianggong, it seems that it will definitely cause a catastrophe, and we must take precautions as soon as possible." ”

"What do you have to start with?" Wang Ningan humbly asked for advice.

Chen Shunzhi: "There are three main points, the first is not to let the people go hungry, the second is not to freeze, and the third is to guard against the plague." ”

Chen Shunzhi replied simply, he is the representative of the so-called followers, he also participated in the imperial examination more than ten years ago, but he fell to Sun Shan, returned to his hometown, and worked as a scribe for the prefect's yamen.

After all these years of training, he has done all the criminal names, money valleys, disaster relief, and projects, and has also been rewarded, but he has no fame, and he is destined to be a small official for the rest of his life.

When Wang Ningan was checking Tan Yulin's private collection of green salt, he found that this person was very capable, and he needed accounts that even three people couldn't count, and he could handle it alone.

Wang Ningan happened to lack of available people around him, so he transferred him.

"The disaster is as big as the sky, and the man-made disaster is above the natural disaster, will the Cui family take advantage of the catastrophe to fan the flames and even cause chaos in secret?"

Chen Shunzhi thought for a while, plucked up the courage and said: "My lord, there are a few words of humility, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

"Speak!"

Wang Ningan encouraged: "What I hate the most is to swallow and spit, if you have anything, tell it all." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Shunzhi plucked up his courage, "Lord Qiqi, when I was studying in my early years, I was also sponsored by the Cui family. ”

"You are also from the Cui family?" Wang Ningan said with a smile, of course he didn't believe it, if he wanted to use people, how could he not find out the details, this Chen Shunzhi has always relied on his true skills, and because of his disobedience to Tan Yulin, he was beaten, no matter what, he would not be a member of the Cui family.

"Xianggong, the situation is like this, the humble family was poor in the early years, there was no money to study, the Cui family ran a school, selected some talented students from it, and gave them funding, and the humble post once received 3 yuan from the Cui family every month, and later the humble post went to the capital to catch the exam, which was also the travel expenses of the Cui family. However, he was not admitted to the Jinshi, and the Cui family later gave up his humble position. ”

Wang Ningan is no stranger to this method, subsidizing students, casting a wide net, and always being able to catch one or two, and over the years, he can accumulate a lot of power.

Many merchant gangs did this, cultivating agents in the imperial court to protect their interests, and the most outstanding ones were the Jin merchants, no matter how they did wrong, the imperial court could not help them.

It's really unthinkable that the Cui family did the same hundreds of years in advance.

"Tan Yulin is one of the officials who are funded by the Cui family, and how many people have taken the benefits of the Cui family, I don't know if they are lowly, but they feel that the number of people cannot be small."

Chen Shunzhi provided an important piece of information, and Wang Ningan was still wondering, why did he know that the Cui family was going to make a rebellion, and there were officials to protect them?

Now it seems that these people have been completely kidnapped by the Cui family, and if they don't do anything for them, the ugly things of the past will come out, and they don't want to mix in Shilin.

It is worthy of an immortal family that has lived for a thousand years!

It's really not shallow!

Since this is the case, it means that the Cui family's control over management is much tighter than imagined.

If you are the Cui family, and it coincides with the catastrophe, what measures will you take, and can you be willing to sit back and wait for the opportunity...... Wang Ning'an walked round and round, and suddenly he stopped and said anxiously: "Quick, hurry up and give your majesty a table, tell your majesty, send more people and horses, inspect Weishui, Luoshui, especially the dikes everywhere, you must watch it." ”

Chen Shunzhi was stunned and said in surprise: "Xianggong, the Cui family's idea of hitting the embankment?" They're not going to go crazy to this point, are they? ”

Wang Ningan smiled bitterly twice, "The enemy is lenient, not to mention that they have even done something to collude with Western Xia, what else do they dare not do!" Go and deliver a letter to all along the coast, be careful, and be prepared. ”

Chen Shunzhi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Wang Ningan became more and more upset, the Cui family must be eradicated, and it must be uprooted. But the question is that the Cui family may be hiding in Western Xia, how can they be killed?

Wang Ningan kept thinking, he had never wanted a group of people to die so much, even in the face of Liao, he had never been so angry. Maybe it was only when he was in Lingnan that he faced Sun Wei and others that he had such a strong murderous intent!

Cui family, shouldn't you be proud!

……

"Quick! Hurry up! ”

Di Yong braved the rain, kept urging the horse forward, next to him, is the tumbling Wei River, the water level continues to rise, the original river valley has been flattened, the river overflows, it looks like a white expanse, almost like the sea.

The river was still pouring in, Di Yong tried to keep his eyes open, staring at the situation on the embankment, and suddenly, not far ahead, a group of people were busy on the embankment with shovels and pickaxes.

"Go and ask them what they do."

Some soldiers ran over, and when these people saw the soldiers running, they turned around and ran away in fright!

Di Yong's face darkened.

"Kill!"

He took the lead and rushed forward, the muddy water on the ground was slippery and dangerous, but he didn't care about anything. Caught up with a guy, and the spear passed through his back, killing him instantly!

Di Yong seemed to be crazy, the spear in his hand waved, stabbing one after another, and in a blink of an eye, most of the people died under his gun.

These people were also frightened, and when they saw a small river on the left, they ran over one after another, trying to avoid Di Yong's pursuit, and there was already a crowd of black pressure on the opposite side, they were holding farm tools in their hands, and without saying a word, they smashed these guys into meatloaf!

"Folks, come here, the embankment is going to collapse!"

The eyes of the common people are red, they have been stabbed by thousands of knives, the sky is thundering, and they dare to dig the embankment, do you still have the hearts of the people?
