Chapter 34 Good Strategies for Disaster Relief I

(Today's code words are hard, and the chapters are split, I hope you don't have to complain!) The contract has been sent to the capital, and it should be signed in a few days, so don't forget to vote for the Haoyue monthly ticket at that time! )

At this moment, it has been raining heavily for many days in the north, and all the boats coming and going from the upstream to the Mengjin ferry port have been suspended, and the river water in the downstream has risen sharply, and the ships may be about to stop operating. The river is raging, the water rushes up to the embankment from time to time, making a loud roar, those embankments are crumbling like dangerous buildings, suddenly I heard a loud bang, the flood roared, the earth shook, but there were people who couldn't shout, the Yellow River burst, the yellow sand overflowed the dam, like a beast, the waves were turbulent, and the mud and sand went down, those villages disappeared in an instant, disappeared in the ** yellow waves, the corpses were pressed by the water, and rushed into the river.

September, Jihai, 22nd

In Kaifeng City, the main hall is not aware that the dam has burst on both sides of the Yellow River, and several nearby villages and towns have been flooded, and the villages and towns are like isolated islands in the water, which are in danger at any time, and hundreds of thousands of people are trapped in the flood, because the flood has killed and injured countless people.

Guo Wei's spirit sitting in the palace was gloomy, if it weren't for the flood, he wouldn't need to sit in Kaifeng in person, but now Zhenning Festival has made Guo Rong outside, and Guo Rong has repeatedly asked to enter Beijing and enter the court. Wang Jun, who had not yet agreed but saw that he was becoming more and more arrogant, hated the prince Guo Rong's heroic and brave soldiers, and often prevented Guo Rong from entering Beijing. A whole stack of paperwork piled up on the desk like a hill, but also pressed on his heart, recently overworked, and even since the beginning of autumn, during this period of time, he knew that he was suffering from paralysis due to the wind, affecting his diet and walking, and he had no choice but to let Guo Rong stay in Lanzhou temporarily.

Guo Wei was full of thoughts, and above the court, the officials were sitting on both sides. Suddenly, there was a sound from outside the temple, and everyone's attention turned to that place.

"Report!" The soldier who told the news came back from the front, and his horses were already tired and dead on the way.

"What's the matter? You take your time. Guo Wei's small voice exuded a sense of majesty.

The person who reported the letter trembled and took the letter from his back, handed it to the officials around him, and then handed it to the prime minister Feng Dao, Guo Wei handed a look to Feng Dao, Feng Dao unfolded it, quickly glanced at the words on the letter, and then hurriedly replied: "Back to the official's house, the letter said that many places in Mengjin, Yanshi, and Gongyi have burst their embankments, the river is raging, and the land of a hundred miles has become a country, and the people are displaced and homeless. ”

When Guo Wei heard that the disaster was serious, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said unhappily: "Ministers, what do you think? There is a good way to deal with the disaster! ”

The officials above the hall began to talk to each other, leaning sideways to discuss, Guo Wei looked at the courtiers who had nothing to do, and frowned,

"Officials, ministers have their own music!" A minister on the right side of the hall came out of the ranks, this person was Bai Chongzan, the envoy of Wucheng Jiedu, he bowed to Guo Wei with a wat in his hand, and said: "The minister has already thought of several disaster relief plans, as long as the official family agrees, the minister will be responsible for the implementation." ”

"I don't know how?"

"Official, please block the Yellow River breach."

Guo Wei was worried about the breach of the Yellow River, and did not know who would be able to inspect the banks of the Yellow River.

At this moment, one person came out of the ranks, that person was the privy envoy, and Wang Jun, who was also the same as Wang Jun, who repeatedly asked Guo Wei to inspect the banks of the Yellow River.

"Xiufeng (Wang Jun, the word Xiufeng, a native of Xiangzhou. The matter of raising money and food will be handed over to you," Guo Wei said.

Wang Jun pretended to be sincere and fearful, and swore that "at the critical moment, the minister Wang Jun will do his best, try his best to raise food and salary, and provide disaster relief to the people." ”

Later, Wang Jun left the capital and went out along the Yellow River to inspect the floods. Later, Zhenning Jiedu made Guo Rong enter Beijing and enter the court, and when Wang Jun went out on the edge of the Yellow River, Taizu agreed. When Wang Jun heard that Guo Rong had entered Beijing and entered the court, he hurriedly returned from the edge of the Yellow River and arrived in Kaifeng. When Guo Rong arrived in Kaifeng, according to urgent reports from various places, Shaanzhou, Xin'an, Mianchi, Wuzhi, Zhengzhou, Xingze and other prefectures and counties overflowed the trough due to the steep rise of more than two zhang of yellow water, so that the houses and fields of the people along the river were all washed away...... It has now been reported that a total of 27 prefectures and counties have been flooded, 17 prefectures and counties have been flooded, and 7 counties have been flooded, and 7 counties have been flooded, and the situation is the most serious in Bishui and Chenliu counties.

Later, Wang Jun was demoted to Shangzhou, and soon died of abdominal disease in Shangzhou. Because Guo Rong governed Lanzhou, his realm was "clean and clear for the government, and thieves did not violate the territory", with outstanding political achievements, simple folk customs, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, Guo Wei specially ordered him to serve as Kaifeng Yin.

At the same time, not far northwest of Zhao Mansion on the bank of the Bianhe River, a team of more than a dozen people was moving along the riverbank, the first one was riding a high-headed horse, wearing a thick coat, wearing a hat on his head, and a young man's face was revealed under the hat, with a heavy face, this person was the new Kaifeng Yin Guorong.

Guo Rong's face was heavy, "Alas, this is really a seven-point natural disaster, three points **!" ”

The people behind him were also wearing clothes, the rain was pouring down, never stopped, the clothes became very heavy, the rain soaked into the clothes unscrupulously, soaked the skin, very uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable it was, it could only endure the bad weather.

Guo Rong and a group of other people are responsible, and the people are looking forward to officials making a difference. The officials below worked hard and complained, and whenever a few small people passed by the bridge on the Bianhe River, they threw down the measuring rope and measured the depth of the water.

The river was so strong that four or five out of ten of the roads in the city were flooded by the rushing river, and the houses of the people were destroyed, and the houses collapsed and smashed and killed several people.

But I heard a third-class handyman from Kaifeng Mansion running in the distance, his clothes were all soaked by the heavy rain, and his body was covered with mud. ”

A small official beside Guo Rong took the urgent report and replied: "Lord Yin of Qiqi Mansion, now that the water depth has exceeded two zhang, several rivers have overflowed the embankment, and the houses on both sides of the river have been flooded, but the water in the upper reaches of the river is soaring, and it is very likely to rush into the Bianhe River, I am afraid it will ......."

Guo Rong looked at the situation of not seeing the rain, panicked in his heart, very nervous, and said, "I'm afraid what? ”

"I think that it will be difficult for the embankment of the Bianhe River to block such a flood, and I am afraid that most of Kaifeng City will be flooded by then!"

Guo Rong looked nervous, just hoping that what the little official said would not come true, but Kaifeng has been raining for a month, although the rain was not strong at the beginning, but the soil of the river embankment was very soft, and seeing a few days of heavy rain, the water burst a few feet, if so, I am afraid the consequences are unimaginable.

In Zhao's mansion, Zhao Dezhao looked at the continuous rain in the city, and some roads in the city had been flooded by the rain, although he had some plans in his heart, but after all, he was soft-spoken, who could listen to his own bitter words, but he didn't know that someone had come to the door at this moment.

Guo Rong took his entourage and officials to inspect several places, all of them were tired, and suddenly saw that it was Zhao's mansion in front of him, and he had been there once when Zhao Dezhao was full moon, and suddenly thought of those unusual ideas on Zhao Dezhao, such as Guangwei Group. Guo Rong stepped forward to knock on the door, and several small servants in the Zhao Mansion heard the sound of knocking, and when they saw the prince Guo Rong, they all knelt on the ground in fright.

When Guo Rong saw a few little guys kneeling, he asked them all to get up, and then asked, "I take the liberty to disturb today, I don't know that Zhao Youxiang is commanding Sun Ke to be in the mansion?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao Langjun is in the house, please let His Highness in." Those little guys didn't know that Guo Rong was now the official of Kaifeng Mansion, and he was called a prince, so he was honestly afraid.

"You're all leading the way! A few of you are waiting in the hall of the Zhao Mansion, and the Mansion will meet you later! ”

"Yes, Your Highness (Your Highness)!" When the entourage and officials heard this, they were all waiting in the hall, and the people of the Zhao Mansion brought water and tea to entertain them.

Guo Rong smiled and followed the little guys of Zhao Mansion in, and when he walked to the door of the backyard, he asked all the little guys to retreat, and he wanted to go in to see what kind of "person" Zhao Dezhao was!
