Back at Meng's house in Longjin Bridge, Meng Qingyun's heart was still pounding.

Including Asakusa and Bauhinia who went to Bailu Tower with her, they were all in a trance.

Seeing the Yellow River burst its banks, floods hitting Bianjing City, and submerging the city, the impact that shocked the soul will never be forgotten.

When Meng Jin heard about the flooding of the outer city, he was also very anxious, and he was afraid that Meng Qingyun would encounter danger outside.

Now that he has returned, his spirit seems to have been greatly hit, and he is also a little panicked.

"Yuan Niang, don't scare Daddy!"

He pushed Meng Qingyun's shoulder.

Meng Qingyun came back to his senses, looked up at him, and said word by word: "Daddy, Bianjing City is flooded." ”

Meng Jin said: "Yes, I know it, the northwest corner of the outer city wall has been broken through a gap, and half of the west and north cities are soaked in water. ”

Wu Liu and Lu Yan both ran in, and now one of them is in charge of the outer courtyard and the other is in charge of the inner courtyard, and they are the two major stewards of the family.

Wu Liudao: "Officials, it is not only the outer city that is flooded now, but also many villages on the outskirts of Beijing. The people are flocking to the inner city, and more and more refugees are gathering on our side. ”

Meng Jin said: "Two things are the most important, the first is to keep an eye on the door and guard against theft; The second is to take stock of the food and vegetables at home, because the influx of refugees will surely increase the price of grain in Beijing. ”

Wu Liudao: "Yes, I have already sent someone out to buy rice, flour, grain and oil." ”

Monzin nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, there was a bang on the door outside, and the porter ran in a short time.

"Official, the palace is urgently called."

Meng Jin hurriedly got up, and while asking someone to get the official uniform, he said: "The official family knows the news, and he must have convened the ministers to discuss how to deal with the flood in Bianjing." It's hard to say when I'll come back, you take care of Yuanniang, and don't pay attention to anything outside. ”

"Yes."

Everyone responded, sent him to the car, and Zhang Ada protected him into the palace.

As soon as Mengjin left on the front foot, the people of the Qi Palace's back foot came, and the Jing Neiguan was ordered by Jiang Fang, the king of Qi, to bring four guards from the palace.

Meng Qingyun personally entertained him.

Jing Neiguan said: "Your Highness just heard about the flood in the outer city, and now the people are pouring into the inner city. Your Highness is afraid that there are no people in your house to take care of the house, so he specially asked me to bring four guards over. ”

Meng Qingyun was grateful: "Thank you, Your Highness." Our house is full of ordinary servants, and there is really a lack of martial arts. ”

Jing Neiguan said: "Whenever this kind of disaster occurs, I am most afraid of bandits and hooligans. These four are all reliable people personally selected by His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness said that if there is any dangerous accident, just call someone to the palace for help. ”

Meng Qingyun thanked again.

The Qi Wangfu was also a mess, and it was inconvenient for the officials to stay for a long time, so they left behind and left.

He had only been away for a cup of tea, Meng Qingyun had just arranged food and accommodation for the four guards, and the Li family had also arrived, an elderly housekeeper mother.

The housekeeper's mother saw Meng Qingyun and said, "Half of the outer city is now soaked in water, and our Qilang said that at this time, I am most afraid of accidents, so I asked to come and ask." ”

Meng Qingyun said: "Thank you to him, everything is fine here." ”

The housekeeper's mother asked again: "There are rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables at home, but I am afraid that the price of food in the city will skyrocket, and it is not easy to buy it when it is late." ”

Meng Qingyun asked Green Smoke.

Green Smoke said that the people who went out to buy have returned, and the family's current grain and rice are enough to eat for three months, and fresh vegetables and meat can also be eaten for half a month.

The housekeeper's mother said, "If there is a shortage, come to our house." ”

Meng Qingyun was very grateful.

The housekeeper's mother saw that everything was indeed fine with the Meng family, so she took her leave and left.

When the house calmed down, Asakusa said to Meng Qingyun: "Girl, King Qi and Li Xiaoqi are very attentive to you. ”

The so-called adversity sees the truth, Jiang Fang and Li Xiaoqi thought of her for the first time, which really moved her.

This kind of friendship is just afraid that it has exceeded the affection of friends.

Meng Qingyun had a number in his heart, but he also had troubles.

On Jiang Fang's side, there was a congratulatory basket who was very hostile to her. On Li Xiaoqi's side, there is not only one Feng Zhenzhen, but also Bai Xiuqing.

It's not righteous to rob a man with a sister.

Mengjin went and didn't come back until the lights were on.

Because it was raining outside, he came back with his trousers and robes wet below the knees, and he was hungry and panicked.

It was easy to change clothes and eat dinner quickly, and then I was relieved.

"The situation is still unclear, but there are no statistics on how many villages and farms have been flooded outside the city, how many houses have been flooded inside the city, and how many people have been affected. Today, I just panicked, and I didn't discuss the reason. ”

"But from tonight, the capital will implement a curfew, and the outer and inner cities will be closed to the city gates, regardless of the officials and people, there must be a note certificate issued by the Kaifeng Prefecture to enter and exit."

"The day after tomorrow, we will discuss disaster relief matters again."

After Meng Jin finished speaking, Meng Qingyun said that the Qi Wangfu had sent four guards.

Although Meng Jin responded to Jiang Fang, he still accepted this kindness.

"That's good, I was worried that there was only one Zhang Ah Da in the family who knew martial arts, and if there was a thief, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take care of it. Then I received his favor first. ”

The next day, it was still rainy and rainy, and the overhead was gray and depressing.

There are more and more refugees outside, and there are people fleeing everywhere in restaurants, shops, roadside pergolas, and under the eaves along the streets.

The price of grain in Beijing has skyrocketed, and it has multiplied several times.

Kaifeng Mansion sent all the soldiers who patrolled the shops out, and the official family also sent people to prohibit the army to assist Kaifeng Mansion in patrolling the inner city and the outer city respectively to maintain law and order.

On the third day, Mengjin entered the palace early in the morning to attend the court meeting.

All the civil and military officials have arrived.

The first thing is to report on the disaster in Bianjing.

The Yellow River burst its banks, first striking the fertile fields of villages outside Beijing, and then the outer city of Bianjing, and the flood went straight to the base of the inner city wall. The northwest corner of the capital is a vast ocean, and only the roof can be seen in the lowest place.

According to statistics, 237 people died in the flood, more than 6,000 houses were destroyed, more than 33,000 people were homeless, more than 2,300 hectares of land were lost, and the rest of the property was not counted.

The ministers were in an uproar.

This is the most serious disaster since the civil unrest in Yizhou last year.

The official family naturally asked the ministers how to deal with it.

Fortunately, there is a complete set of disaster relief procedures for such disasters, and the officials of the corresponding departments are all on the job one by one.

Internally, refugees should be settled, food prices should be stabilized, and law and order should be maintained.

Externally, the water situation was monitored, and the city walls were repaired to prevent the second flood peak.

In addition, after the flood, if there is a sunny and hot weather, it is easy to breed epidemics, which should also be prevented in advance.

As for the post-disaster reconstruction work, we can only wait for the water to recede.

After these matters were arranged one by one, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then someone from Zongzheng Temple reported: "Your Majesty, all the feudal clans have entered Beijing, and the temple and the Ministry of Rites have settled down according to the plan. May I ask Your Majesty, what are the follow-up arrangements? ”

As a result, everyone's eyes fell on the official family's face.

The children of the clan have arrived, Your Majesty, it's time for you to make a decision.
