Chapter 347: Shi Kefa's Preparation

In the platform, the lanterns have begun to be on.

The core managers of the empire have already fought over how to deal with Wang Er, and many people have already talked about white foam.

Yang Gengai listened to the arguments between the two sides with half of his mind, and the other half was thinking about his own handling of Shaanxi's affairs and those loopholes.

For the emperor, who had been listening, the two sides of the argument were exhausted. The imperial party naturally spoke to the emperor's will, and the emperor wanted to protect Wang Er, so they naturally went all out to say this, and the opponents insisted that the rebellion must pay the price.

The "firepower" of both sides has long been exhausted, and they looked at the emperor with blank eyes, hoping that the emperor would give a "holy judgment".

Yang Reform is also a headache, now the news is too little, just a letter, on the information revealed in this letter, it is difficult not to discuss the matter of Wang Er, what can be said is limited, but once the matter of Wang Er is said, it must involve a group of people like Wang Er, how to deal with Wang Er, and it has become a typical example of how to deal with this group of people.

Yang reformed with both hands pressed, everyone quieted down, and the fight was enough, there were few people, and it was hard to fight, there was no time to rest, and no one could bear it, seeing that the emperor seemed to be going to "sage", everyone stopped.

"How to deal with Wang Er, it's not a matter of dealing with Wang Er, it involves how to deal with Wang Er's group of people, this matter, all the Qing family is reasonable, I can't make a decision for a while, this matter, you Qing family will suspend the discussion, wait for more news to come, wait for a more mature solution, and make a decision" Yang Reform was helpless, although he really wanted to let go of Wang Er, but the news was too little, he had to be cautious, this kind ......of thing, is a typical representative, Shaanxi is a powder keg, Bandits, bandits, and bandits, if there is no unified statement, where these people are going, will be a great constraint on immigration. And immigration is the hope that Yang Reform placed on the sky.

Many of the core managers of the empire foamed at the mouth, and they didn't care about wiping it, and they were all relieved to see that the emperor had postponed this matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how to deal with the matter in Shaanxi, do you have any other good suggestions?" Yang asked again.

The ministers are silent, what should be said, what can be said, what should be done, what can be done, they have all been said and done, and now, they are waiting for further news, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow, what else is there to say? The ministers felt that it was very rare that they could keep talking about this letter for so long, and they said? Without.

……

Shaanxi Governor Yamen.

Bi Zisu listened to Xu Guangqi's words in shock.

"Master Xu, are you saying that there are disaster victims in Fugu who may participate in the civil uprising? Waiting for food? Preparing for rebellion and emigration at the same time? If the food is not delivered in time, will those people take risks and rebel? For this kind of inference, Bi Zisu was also frightened when he heard it, this is already very revealing, if there is no food, it is a way to rebel, that is, if there is food, the rebel will not rebel. That is to say, now, it depends on the tug-of-war of the Si Nongsi, and the Tug-of-war of the Si Nong Si is effective, and there are fewer people who rebel, on the contrary, there are a large number of people who rebel.

"That's right, this is also a conclusion drawn from the synthesis of all aspects of the news, however, it is not far from ten, from the point of view of Wang Er, the victims, or rather, the people who are ready to rebel, there are a large number of people who are still waiting, immigrants or rebellion, still hesitating, now, Wang Er's matter has been reported to His Majesty, and it is necessary to wait for His Majesty's holy ruling, and now this incident has happened, which shows that the matter of Shaanxi has reached a critical period, and the future direction of Shaanxi is in the past few days" Xu Guangqi said with a sigh on his face.

"What does Master Xu mean to be self-disciplined?" Bi Zisu said that he knew that Xu Guangqi would not come here in vain.

"Fan Jiu, I hope to send officers and troops to patrol along the Yellow River, especially along the coast of northern Shaanxi, to strengthen vigilance in this regard, and strictly prevent people from taking advantage of the chaos to loot grain, a large number of victims flock to it, and there is a shortage of grain. Xu Guangqi said with a hint of anxiety, there will be a rebellion without food, it is very possible to rob the food passing by in front of you when you are hungry, more than a thousand miles of river, it is difficult to say that there is no such thing in that place, Xu Guangqi has to guard against it.

"Master Xu can rest assured in this matter, Your Majesty has already made a holy decree, and the officials and soldiers in various places and the guards must ensure the safety of the immigration officers and ensure the safety of the immigrants, not to mention the Yellow River, even if it is the whole of Shaanxi, the immigration officers will be guaranteed...... Since Master Xu said that the grain along the Yellow River is so important, then, Fan Jiu will send another group of elites over to ensure the safety of grain transportation along the Yellow River...... well, the new army Wu Sangui is just returning from the bandits, and it is close to the Yellow River, I think it is better to send Wu Sangui's department to ......" Bi Zisu said. ,

Xu Guangqi really can't rest assured of the safety of food, the shortage of grain in northern Shaanxi has reached such a level, a large number of people are waiting for food to save their lives, or in other words, the scale of the rebellion in Shaanxi depends on this batch of grain, if it is no matter what, we must be careful, it is also the reason why Xu Guangqi came to move troops, no matter what, this batch of grain, there can be no accidents.

"In this way, thank you Fan Jiu." Xu Guangqi was relieved to see that it was Wu Sangui who was sent and it was a new army.

"Master Xu doesn't have to be like this, it's all for His Majesty's worries, and it's all for the court to solve problems, which is as it should be." Bi Zisu said.

……

Yang Liu stood alone on top of the high mound, looking down at the Yellow River, all night. After looking at it all night, and suffering all night, he made all the bets on whether he could come to the ship tomorrow.

It's getting dark.

The ragged people showed the prototype of poverty under the sun, and the laughter of the previous night, full of hope and joy was gone. One by one, they still looked at each other, and some people even had a trace of despair in their eyes.

Yang Liu stood alone on top of the high mound, as if he was scorched by several glances behind him, and he didn't dare to look back. Is it disappointment, or despair?

The sun has been born, and the Yellow River is still empty.

"Sixth brother, go back, it's all night, or let's go down by ourselves." Yang Qi saw that his brother had been standing here all night, so he came over to persuade him.

"No, Seventh, my brother is still standing here for a while, someone will come, someone will come, he will ......" Yang Liu didn't dare to look back, let alone move, for fear that if he moved, someone would come to the Yellow River and he wouldn't be able to see himself.

The sun has risen three poles in the sun, and people still haven't arrived, and some of the ragged people have no food, and some still have a few bites, and they have a little bit of moisture, even if they have eaten one meal, the next meal, I don't know if there is one.

Yang Liukou stood on the mound dryly, not daring to move, nor daring to look back, looking at the lower reaches of the Yellow River, he was afraid that once he turned back, he would never be able to "turn back" again.

The crowd who had just been a little angry because of a meal gradually dissipated their anger, and the hot sun began to show its power.

"Sixth brother, let's go by ourselves, I'm afraid it won't be possible if someone comes to pick it up." Yang Qi sweated and came to the mound and persuaded his brother again.

It's not that Yang Liu doesn't want to go down, go, and he also needs to get accurate news before he can go down, has the immigration officer of the Son of Heaven received the letter, will he send someone to come? Is there any food at all? It's all in question.

A few fast horses trampled the billowing smoke and dust from the lower reaches of the Yellow River and came upstream.

"Sixth brother, sixth brother, look, someone is coming......" Yang Qi saw it, standing on top of the mound, and saw at a glance that these people were not ordinary.

Yang Liu couldn't support it for a long time, that is, he was supported by a breath, and when he saw someone coming downstream, he smiled with relief, perhaps, this is the person he has to wait for, although he didn't come from the Yellow River, but he still came.

Yang Liu shook a few times, barely stabilized his body, and grabbed Yang Qi with one hand, barely fainting.

"Sixth brother, sixth brother,......" Yang Qi was startled when he saw that his sixth brother was so weak, and immediately supported his sixth brother.

"It's okay, it's just that I haven't moved around for too long, it's a little stiff, it's good to be active......" Yang Liu said with a smile, and after a while, it was better again.

Those few fast horses arrived in a blink of an eye, and Lao Yuan greeted: "It's Brother Yang in front?" ”

Yang Liu was very puzzled, this person seemed to know him, and he greeted him from afar, but in his impression, he didn't remember this person

A few fast horses arrived in front of Yang Liu in a blink of an eye, Yang Liu became a little vigilant and asked, "Who is this brother?" ”

"Hehe, Sixth Brother Yang doesn't know me, but I know Sixth Brother Yang's name, my name is Li Hongji, and I was sent by Lord Shi, the immigration officer of Fugu County, to pick up people." Li Hongji was not verbose, and immediately revealed his identity.

"Li Hongji? Brother, the name is loud...... "Yang Liu looked at these people suspiciously, it seems that he didn't bring much food, this is also a pick-up?" You're not fooling me, are you? So, I plan to set it up and ask for details.

"Hehe, brother doubts my identity? Rest assured, it is serious under the immigration officer, and it is errand under the immigration officer of the Holy Son of Heaven. Oh, this is my Li Hongji's waist card......" Li Hongji was also generous, and immediately took off a wooden waist card from his waist and handed it to Yang Liu.

Yang Liu used to be an insider of the government, and he naturally recognized the waist card of the government, and after a little identification, he found that this was indeed "made by the government", not a private carving of a brand. ,

"Brother Li, in this way, did your family Shi receive a letter from my brother? It's not that I doubt the identity of my brother, it's just that there are many people here, and there are many people here, and now I haven't eaten, and I can't walk, so I'm waiting for the immigration officer of the Son of Heaven to pick it up, and now, just a few of your horses......" Yang Liu began to doubt, this person looked unreliable.

"Hehe, Sixth Brother Yang doesn't have to doubt it, Master Shi did receive a letter saying that a group of disaster victims will come here today, so today, I came here to take a look, but ......, to be honest, the number of immigrants this time is too much, and this Sixth Brother Yang should know it, right? In addition, I heard that there are more women and children here in Brother Yang, so Lord Shi specially sent a batch of rafts to come over, and the younger ones have to go down by themselves, hehe, I hope that Brother Yang will be more considerate of ......, food and rafts, because they are walking slowly, so, they are still behind, brothers have brought some food here, Brother Yang will divide it first......" Li Hongji explained with a smile, Then he took some dry food from his horse and threw it to Yang Liu.

Yang Liu is not hypocritical, he knows his own affairs, he is a person, he has run out of oil, and it is a great gift to get a little food, so he took it immediately, and before he had time to thank him, he opened the baggage, and it was actually dried meat.

"This ......" Yang Liu looked at it suspiciously, it was really surprising that he could still eat meat at this time.

"Brother Yang rest assured, this is mutton, hehe, Lord Shi has tried his best to immigrate for you, hehe, Lord Shi bought a lot of sheep and skinned the sheepskin in order to prepare for the sheepskin raft to transport people, this is the remaining meat, hehe, otherwise, there are so many sheepskin rafts to transport people? Hehe, my brother said yes? Li Hongji explained with a smile that he is now a smile of learning a profession, and rhetoric is also a professional rhetoric.

Li Hongji was originally a post soldier, but he was derelict in his duties and lost his official documents, so in this kind of "good era" of recruiting post soldiers, he actually lost his job, Li Hongji had no choice but to go home, and he was unwilling, others were squeezed into the post soldiers, but he was driven out of the team of post soldiers, I really couldn't figure it out, so I was ready to apply for a job in a different place, as a result, others heard that he had lost official documents before, and after being driven out, they didn't dare to use him, so although it was a good "era" for the post soldiers, he couldn't enjoy this kind of preferential treatment, helpless, Seeing that the immigration officer recruited people who could ride horses and had strong men to patrol the river, Li Hongji found the immigration officer again, this time, the immigration officer did not drive him away, but just let him ride a horse and run on the horse for several hours, and then used him, if not for anything else, for the durability of this body and bones.

He Li Hongji has now found a new life, this immigration official Shi treats him really well, he can often eat meat, not to mention, this salary is also quite high, worthy of him riding a horse for several hours a day, although he is more tired than when he was a post soldier, but in his words, it is worth it

Yang Liu's eyes have lit up, although he is the leader of this group, but he has not eaten meat for a long time, and today he has not touched a drop of rice, and he has long been dizzy with hunger, and now he smells the smell of meat, his mouth is drooling, he can't help but swallow his saliva, take a bite, and then said: "Sure enough, it's mutton, and salt is put in it,...... Good things, good things......" Yang Liu unconsciously chewed a few bites, and then praised.

"Hehe, Sixth Brother Yang, Master Shi received the news that you are preparing to emigrate, he is very happy, and he specially sent someone to come down to contact, prepared a lot of food, and the car will arrive later, will Sixth Brother Yang go down for a while first, or wait for the car to come? With the car, there are also batches of rafts, Yang Liuge can pick up the women and children with limited mobility with a batch of rafts first, it only takes one day, you can go to Fugu County, young and strong, can walk, you have to go by yourself, it's not that Lord Shi doesn't send a boat to pick up, Yang Liuge also knows that the difficulty of boating on the Yellow River, plus there are many people, so, the raft has to pick up the women and children first, and then pick up the young and strong when they are free, Yang Liuge, you see, is there a problem? Li Zicheng's rhetoric is completely a set of "professional" rhetoric, no matter how you say it, it was all designed by Shi Kefa himself.

Yang Liu ate a few mouthfuls of jerky, and the person was much more energetic, and said: "The Son of Heaven really didn't break his promise, sure enough, someone picked it up and provided food, of course I, Yang Liu, followed the Son of Heaven, and also, Master Shi is the immigration officer of Fugu County?" Thank you so much for Lord Shi, dare to ask the honorific name of this Lord Shi? ”,

"Hehe, my family's Lord Shi, surnamed Shi, name Kefa, and the word Xianzhi, is this year's Enke Jinshi of the Holy Son of Heaven, the immigration officer of the Holy Son of Heaven's Qin faction, who is in charge of the immigrants in this Fugu County, and is on an errand under his name, hehe, he is specially responsible for patrolling the river and contacting matters......" Li Hongji said quite confidently. Although this Shaanxi is already a hell on earth, and the food is quite tight, but because of his work, he can often eat meat, so his face is full of oil, and he has a fat body and bronzed skin. According to Shi Kefa, it is necessary to let the victims see hope and ability, so this strong former post man has become the best choice for him to decorate the façade and "deter" the victims.

Yang Liu couldn't help but nod his head, this was similar to his news, since the person who came to pick up the person had arrived, and there was an arrangement, Yang Liu's hanging heart was finally put down. Said: "Brother Li, wait a minute, I'll explain, let's set off, they are all croppers, not afraid of walking, as long as there is food, it is better for women and children to sit on a raft, otherwise, they can't walk fast, I know this......" Yang Liu was happy to accept Li Hongji's arrangement, now in Shaanxi, as long as there is food, even the rebellion must follow, let alone this.

"Okay, Sixth Brother Yang is ,...... By the way, Li Guo, Li San..., give all the food you brought to Brother Yang Liuge......" Li Hongji also saw that this group of people was afraid that they would run out of food, and if they were late for half a day, they were afraid that these people would not survive tonight, so according to the "vocational tutorial", they immediately sent their own mutton jerky, and first, to solve everyone's temporary food problem; Second, to show the ability of immigration officers and strengthen the confidence of these people in immigrants, it is difficult to eat meat in these years of natural disasters and droughts.

The source of these meats, in fact, is one of the ways that Shi Kefa thought, he is this year's Enke Jinshi, but, the ranking is really not ideal, dozens of places behind the palace, but, but unexpectedly received by the emperor, the emperor's unexpected reception, Chunchun's encouragement flattered him, the emperor is grateful to Dade, the emperor wants to send them to Shaanxi as immigration officers, he immediately signed up, determined to repay the emperor's kindness with his own actions, and also chose one of the most difficult places, one of the northernmost places in Shaanxi, Fugu County, He had to make achievements in the hardest places to serve the emperor.

When Shi Kefa first came to Fugu County, he immediately prepared a shipbuilding and bought a ship according to the "immigration tutorial", but the actual situation was that this Yellow River, to this section, was really not suitable for boating, and there were no shipbuilding craftsmen in the local area, and it was impossible to build ships in large quantities.

Shi Kefa was very troubled about the immigration, this place was barren, the people were fierce, and he did not have much food in his hands, and the grain transported from the lower reaches of the Yellow River was really limited, so he thought of various ways to solve the problems encountered in the immigration. Li Hongji's strong former post man, mutton, is also a "prop" for immigrants, Li Hongji is used to "deter" the victims of this place, who makes the victims of this place too strong; Mutton is specially for those who immigrate, and it is a "prop" that specifically shows the ability of his agricultural department to immigrate, so as to make those victims believe that he has the ability to immigrate, and he also wants to use a raft to transport away women and children, that is, to prevent those young and strong people from making trouble, the folk customs of this place are really strong, in order to make those people obedient, Shi Kefa's idea is to use a raft to take the women and children into Fugu County first, with these women and children in his hands, he is not afraid of those young and strong disobedient, it doesn't matter if the boat is less, The victims can go by themselves, it doesn't matter if they eat less, as long as they don't starve to death, this is also the various methods that Shi Kefa came up with in the face of all kinds of difficulties, so even Li Hongji's set of rhetoric was carefully prepared.

What made Shi Kefa feel relieved was that it was more difficult to transport grain, but the emperor was willing to spend money on immigration, and Xu Guangqi also because Fugu was too far away and the grain that could be transported was limited, so he specially allocated him some more silver taels to buy some grain locally, so Shi Kefa also had the confidence to buy a large number of sheep to make rafts, otherwise, he would not be able to turn a few taels of meat into his Shi Kefa's skin.

Yang Liu unceremoniously took the big bags of meat, quite satisfied, in this year of the catastrophe, he can still eat the meat of relief, just by virtue of this, he is full of confidence in the immigration of the Son of Heaven, full of confidence in the immigrants, this time, he completely believes in the immigrants of the Son of Heaven, and is ready to follow the Son of Heaven with all his heart.

Yang Liu carried the bags of jerky, ran wildly, ran to the front of the group of people, raised the jerky, and shouted wildly: "Brothers, fathers and fellow villagers, we have been saved, we have been saved, the Holy Son of Heaven has sent someone to bring us food, and the delivery is still jerky......" Yang Liu had not drunk water for a long time, and his voice was already hoarse, but the words shouted out were indeed shocking and sonorous.

The ragged crowd finally burst out with the brilliance of life, and there was a burst of chanting. The brilliance of life reappeared in this group of people. Death, in front of these jerky, fled in the wilderness.

Yang Liu divided these packets of jerky and moistened them a little, and everyone could eat a little bit of jerky, although it was not much, but the confidence given to this group of people was absolutely immeasurable. Many people pulled out the half-chewed jerky, looked at it and looked at it, and quietly stuffed it into their clothes, ready to keep it for the next meal.
