Chapter 61: Where Have the Victims Gone?

On 14 September, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince set off for Jingzhou to inspect the damage to the disaster. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second

Three carriages slowly drove out of the Suzaku Gate and rushed to Jingzhou.

According to preliminary statistics, as many as 90,000 people were affected by the disaster, of which more than 30,000 were businessmen from various countries.

Xiao Jun was a pedestrian non-stop, only to the big post station to rest for a while, passing by Yongzhou, he ordered a temporary rest for a day.

After nine days in a row, everyone was exhausted, especially Han Jin, although she had to rush every year when she entered Beijing, but she was almost touring the mountains and rivers along the way, and she was not in a hurry, which was like this time, I thought that I could stop and take a stroll when passing by the famous mountains and rivers or the lively state capital, who knew that this prince brother would not want to rush to Jingzhou.

Of course, she can understand, especially understand.

Hearing that they were resting in Yongzhou, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to relax and improve their food.

When they arrived in Yongzhou, it was evening, and the group traveled in concealment, without bothering the local state capital, and stayed in a remote and inconspicuous inn.

Xiao Junzhi went out at dinner, and happened to be seen by Han Jin, who ran over upside down, "Brother, go out for a walk?" Bring me, bring me! ”

The corners of Xiao Junzhi's mouth twitched, and he mouthed Baili Mu Nunu, and Baili Mu immediately took out a silver ingot from his sleeve.

Han Jin checked it, not lightly. Well, this feel, this texture, this weight, she is very satisfied.

Xiao Junzhi stepped out of the door, "Go play by yourself, bring someone, you don't have to wait for me for dinner." ”

Han Jin said happily, "Oh! ”

Baili Mu followed closely behind Xiao Junzhi, even more closely than Ye Weichu followed him at that time, Xiao Junzhi felt that he couldn't get rid of his hand when he walked, he was a little helpless, and could only sigh.

Transferred from the public security department to the prince's side as a personal guard, Baili Mu felt that this errand was good, the old camp was born, familiar with the road, and he was patrolling the streets a while ago, and he was busy with three heads and six arms.

Now that he is following the prince, he just needs to follow closely, escort the prince to Jingzhou safely, and then escort him back safely, he only has to wait with peace of mind, a better position than the security department is waiting for him.

Xiao Junzhi didn't come back until late, and set off the next day, Han Jin asked him where he went yesterday, Xiao Junzhi said lightly, I should ask you this.

Han Jin touched her nose and got into the car with a cigarette.

Yongzhou is not far from Yongzhou, she heard that there are two good buddies here now, and when she heard her brother say that Yongzhou stayed, she was happy in her heart, and she was busy and ran to meet fox friends and dog friends.

Seeing each other in a foreign country, she was very emotional, she couldn't help but drink a few more glasses and chat a few more words, she came back later than Xiao Junzhi.

After a night, the smell of wine has not dissipated, I really don't know how much I drank, Xiao Junzhi's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, fortunately she still remembered to come back and did not delay the trip.

Everyone hurried up, rushed for 14 days, and arrived in Jingzhou in the evening of the 14th.

As soon as he arrived outside the city gate, Jingzhou Mansion Yin led everyone to wait at the door, looking anxiously looking forward to it, and it could be seen that he had been waiting for a long time.

Jingzhou is far away and belongs to the Southern Dynasties, but it has belonged to the Northern Dynasties for more than 100 years, and Wei Bi attacked it, and Emperor Gao was worried for a while for these two useless states, and finally had an idea and proposed a new way of governance, what way? Let these two states have a high degree of autonomy.

The governor also governed according to the appointment method of the Northern Dynasty, and everything remained unchanged, while the Southern Dynasty government neither allocated funds nor allocated grain, and the local government was self-sufficient, and it was enough to pay taxes regularly every year. The Southern Dynasty only sent troops to garrison here, nominally to defend, but in fact to supervise, and if there was any change, it would be suppressed immediately.

Jingzhou is too poor, located at the junction of the three countries, although it is located in the throat of the main road, but the people are fierce, the government of the Southern Dynasty is really lost but not to lose the burden, so to the Nanzhao Dynasty, because of Zhao Guozhu's support policy, Jingzhou actually came to life, gathered the world's businessmen to transit here, gradually the population is prosperous, extremely prosperous, the tax amount soars year after year, straight to the first few in the Southern Zhao.

Flooded these two states, this year's finance must be missing a lot of income, Xiao Yue is distressed or not, I don't know, the current Financial Secretary Guan Qiandi is distressed, the tax revenue is so much less, he may not be able to keep the medal if he has been sitting firmly for three consecutive years!

The current governor of Jingzhou is Xue Mengzhuo, the Xue family is a big family in Jingzhou, and the Zhou Yin who can't be counted on two hands are all from the Xue family. Originally, the Xue family was very worried in Jingzhou, they couldn't eat enough and didn't wear warm, they couldn't sleep well at night, and they were worried every day that it was Rouran, Nanzhao or Beiyan's people who came to trample on it, and they didn't want to be more than 20 years ago, life suddenly got better, the new King Rouran didn't like to be a robber, and concentrated on herding horses and sheep, and the Northern Yan Emperor didn't use Jingzhou to fight (he disliked that there was no one in Jingzhou and no food), Nanzhao was more Buddha-like, and he didn't look down on Jingzhou at all.

Since Minister Zhao vigorously developed the economy, Jingzhou has taken advantage of it, developed vigorously, and is rich and close to the southern state capital.

Jingzhou is rich, Jingzhou Mansion Yin is also rich, to what extent? Xue Fugai's office is more magnificent than Xiao Zhaozhi's office, there are groups of beautiful wives and concubines, and the food must be transported from Kyushu countries. There are hundreds of maidservants in the mansion, and any one of them can be sold as a concubine for thousands of gold when they get Jiangling, but in Xue Mansion, they can only be servants and maids. It's just a poverty and luxury.

Xue Mengzhuo usually goes out and enters the sedan chair, hugging back and forth, the top of his hat and boots are inlaid with gems the size of pigeon eggs, for fear that others will not know that he is rich, and he welcomes the prince today, he did not dare to be too public, and honestly wore an official uniform that he did not wear once a year and stood on the side of the road.

When Prince Linjiang first came to Jingzhou, Xue Mengzhuo was worried for a while, he had heard that this son had a bad temper, but he didn't expect to find that the second son was very easy-going after dealing with him a few times, and he didn't have a little bit of the shelf of the prince and grandson of the capital.

The crown prince and the second son and mother are compatriots, and they are very gentle when they hear it, and it is not difficult to deal with it.

The young man who got off the carriage was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a Qinghua temperament, calm and calm, Xue Mengzhuo hurriedly greeted him, smiling with a wrinkled face, "The prince has come from afar, and he has worked hard all the way, please come to the cold house quickly, and he has prepared a drink to catch you and wash the dust." Everyone behind him was busy echoing.

Xiao Junzhi glanced at the person in front of him, nodded slightly, stood with his hands in his hands, looked around, the trees fell, the weeds crawled on the ground, the traces of the flood were still there, but there was not a single victim.

Xiao Junzhi couldn't help but wonder, "The Department of Civil Affairs reported more than 50,000 victims in Jingzhou, why didn't you see one?" ”

Xue Mengzhuo didn't expect the prince to ask such a question as soon as they met, he was stunned, and he immediately spoke, "Ah this, we have set up a resettlement site for disaster victims in Jingzhou to prevent them from running around." ”

He wouldn't tell the prince that three days ago he had borrowed a thousand soldiers from Prince Linjiang and drove the victims out of sight.

It would be strange if the prince didn't get angry when he saw this disaster all over the place!

"Oh? Take Gu to see it. ”

As soon as the prince came, he was about to inspect, which caught Xue Mengzhuo off guard, and he hurriedly persuaded him, "The prince has worked hard all the way, and he will inspect the people's situation as soon as he gets off the car, which makes me admire him very much." As soon as I received the news, the second son came back from Pingzhou in the evening, and when the second son returned, I led the prince and the prince to go together......"

Xiao Junzhi thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhi, I haven't seen him for three years.
