The torrential rain was so dense that people couldn't open their eyes, and it seemed that the water of the entire Heihe River was sloping down from the sky.

"Quick, quick!" The two soldiers carried a stretcher and moved quickly towards the tent, and the people on the stretcher did not even have the strength to hum.

The eyes were devastated, there were broken walls everywhere, and from time to time I heard someone exclaiming, "Earthquake and shock." ”

But the rest of the crowd had long been accustomed to it, hiding in the tent that floated up as soon as the wind blew, and from time to time someone took bricks to hold down the tent, and occasionally a few children cried, and were also comforted by their mothers to put them to sleep.

It's been three days, and the initial cries, wails, and cries for help still seem to linger in my ears, but they drift away with the wind.

"Doctor Tan, this person has been crushed under for three days, I don't know if he can still be saved?" The soldier lifted the patient up on the hospital bed and looked at Tan Yin expectantly.

The smell of bloody rancid and bitter medicine was everywhere, and the listener almost vomited.

Tan Yin took a closer look, checked the pulse, nodded and said, "Although weak, the heart pulse is not broken, and it should be saved, but that leg can't be saved." ”

The two soldiers looked at each other, although their legs could not be saved, their fortunes were finally saved, and their hard work was finally not in vain, so they happily went out to continue the rescue.

By the time Tan Yin carefully bandaged the new patient with good medicine, it was already an hour later.

Doctor Zhang saw that her face was haggard, and she hadn't closed her eyes for several days, so he persuaded: "You go back and rest for a while, if you go on like this, you will fall first, and Master Hou also needs you." ”

She shook her head, there were so many patients waiting for her to be treated! Walk to the other hospital beds.

By the time the patient's condition was basically stable and the aftershocks slowly subsided, it was already dozens of days later, and he hadn't seen Yang Che for half a month, and I didn't know how he was doing, and he should be the busiest person now.

After finishing the business at hand this day, I thought I had to go home.

Walking out of the tent, the sky was already full of stars, and he looked up at the brilliant stars in the sky, and took a long breath, and several night watch soldiers were talking.

"Alas, this year's Jokhang is really full of disasters, and the flood in the south of the Yangtze River has not passed for a month, and there is a big earthquake in Hexi."

"No, fortunately, there is a Hou Ye in Liangzhou to guard it, and he ordered me to come and help. They searched and rescued the living in collapsed houses, took out military tents to set up tents, and cooked porridge to help the victims. Ganzhou Dunhuang was not so lucky. ”

"I also heard that a lot of people died over there, and many more were injured, and Daxia didn't care about them, and those soldiers came out to grab food from the victims, which was worse than bandits. The people have no food, there is no shelter from the wind and rain, all sleep on the road, this successive rainstorms, the weather began to get cold again, God does not know how many people to take, it is really a sin. ”

"It's better for us to be good, Daxia treats the people as human beings and lets them fend for themselves, pitiful......"

"That is, you see that Dr. Tan is Mrs. Hou, and she has been seeing a doctor here, and she has not said anything bitter."

"Dr. Tan is really impressive, at the beginning they said that she was not worthy of the Hou Ye, but now whoever says that is called her a living bodhisattva!"

"It's just that we don't have enough food and tents now, and if it gets colder and colder this day, and the rain continues like this, what can we do?"

"Don't worry! Hou Ye must have a way. ”

Hearing this, a smile rose to the corners of her mouth, her steps were faster, and when she returned to the General's Mansion, Yue Niang greeted her and accompanied her to continue walking towards the atrium.

There was one person who came over, it turned out to be Li Xiangrong, and the two of them were shocked when they looked at each other, but they both recovered their looks instantly.

Li Xiangrong bowed slightly, Tan Yin also smiled and returned the salute, and passed by.

"Girl, why did she come here at such a late hour? Could it be ......," Honeysuckle said with a frown.

"Don't think nonsense." Tan Yin said softly.

"What if I'm cranky, they're all preaching! said that the Hexi disaster, the imperial court did not give silver, and now the military and civilians in Liangzhou are running out of ammunition and food. The Li family offered to help Hou Ye, do you think they will bring up the old thing again? ”

Tan Yin didn't answer, her footsteps paused slightly, and she continued to walk forward, and Yang Che's study was brightly lit in the distance.

"Since the earthquake in Hexi, Hou Ye's study is the busiest place in Liangzhou, with endless people coming and going all day long, three religions and nine streams, all kinds of people, etc., and they will not disperse until midnight." Yue Niang explained.

I returned to the room, but I didn't return for half a month, but I felt that I had been gone for a long time, and the years in the room were quiet, and the outside was already full of devastation.

The people's livelihood is difficult, all living beings are suffering, under the heaven and earth, how small and fragile people are, and in the face of survival, what is more important than this.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Yang Che returned to the house, Tan Yin slept very lightly, and when she woke up, she sat up.

"Woke you up? You haven't closed your eyes in a few days, go back to sleep. Yang Che walked to the bed, patted and comforted.

The husband and wife haven't seen each other for half a month, and they all have dust and frost on their faces, and they have lost a lot of weight.

"I'm not sleepy, I just came back to see you, are you okay?"

"It's all good." He took her hand and smiled.

"Don't lie to me, I heard that the imperial court didn't give much silver at all, and you have to figure it out yourself."

Yang Che hooked the corners of his mouth, "Li Huang, that iron rooster, just gave 100,000 taels of silver and wanted to send me away, Liangzhou disaster relief, military salaries and military expenses have to be done by myself, this old fox." ”

"How do you solve it, the military salary and military expenses are such a big expense, the cavalry is newly trained, and it takes a lot of money to raise horses, and there are two or three out of ten houses in the city that have collapsed, and there are many cracked ones, how can there be so many silver taels?" Tan Yin said urgently.

Yang Che smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, there is no way to do it." You've been treating the wounded for half a month, and you're all tired. ”

Seeing that he didn't show it on his face, he was still comforting her, in fact, who else in Liangzhou was under more pressure than him now? The military is under heavy pressure, and even political affairs cannot be ignored now, and even the army's food and grass and the people's food must be placed on him.

"Xueyuan, I saw Miss Li when I came back in the evening, if I can save the people of Liangzhou Mancheng, if I can make the Hexi army safe, if I can make you ......" Tan Yin rushed out, but paused halfway, and said for a while: "I am willing to do anything." ”

"What, you're going to give up on me? Am I so unworthy of your perseverance? ”

"But let me see this city full of wailing, the army is uneasy, your life's work is in vain, and I am even more heartbroken." Tan Yin bit her lip, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Fool, is there no other way for me Yang Che than to sell my body? Today, Li Xiangrong came over to force Chen, and the Li family will go all out to support the reconstruction of Liangzhou. He took her hands and pressed them against his face, and it was distressing to see her give in so far for him.

"Doesn't the Li family have a plan?" Tan Yin said in surprise.

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, the earthquake can be described as a catastrophe for several cities in Hexi, but Liangzhou has the smallest loss, and the fastest and best disaster relief. These clans, including merchants, used to be grass on the wall, and they were left and right between Dazhao and Daxia, and they could not offend each other, but now they can only suppress our side. Kuriza also came to me, representing the merchants of the Western Regions who were willing to support the reconstruction of Liangzhou. ”

Tan Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and said nervously: "Then will they open their mouths, what if this interest can't be paid off for many years?" ”

"There is a better way to not give them interest."

Tan Yin's eyes widened, and there were people who borrowed money from merchants without paying interest.

"There are more and more business travelers in Liangzhou City, the old city houses are old, the sewage is cross-flowing, the living is cramped, and the rent is several times higher, and the local merchants in Hexi and the Western Regions need more places to store their goods, and with more and more business contacts between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, this problem is getting bigger and bigger."

"Crisis, crisis, crisis, there is no solution to this problem, but now it is an opportunity. We are going to expand and rebuild a new city, move some of the houses that were destroyed this time, and build another Liangzhou city. ”

"Yinliang asked these merchants to subscribe, and the return was to give them some plots of land to allow them to build houses and warehouses, I talked to the Chen family and Kuriza, and they were very willing, and then I was ready to convene the rich merchants in Liangzhou City to discuss it again, and spread the news to the entire Hexi and even the Western Regions."

"But this ...... Will this work? It's an astronomical amount to build another new city! But the people and the soldiers were waiting to be fed. Tan Yin wondered.

It takes dozens or even hundreds of cities to form, and it is almost impossible to build a new city in a short period of time.

"People's hearts are moving together, things are man-made, and they will definitely succeed." Yang Che smiled and comforted her, full of confidence.

"I'm betting on whether these people in the entire Hexi Western Regions are on the side of Great Xia or on the side of Dazhao. I'm still betting on the eyes of these people, of course there is a risk in entering the market now, but it is also a time for a million profits, and when everything is built, it will not be at this price. ”

Seeing that he was so determined, Tan Yin was also infected by him, as if he saw a splendid new city standing in Hexi, the international merchant traveler riding a camel team to and from the Western Regions and the Central Plains, the camel bell sounded throughout the desert, the string song did not fall, and this Silk Road sang a song that never stopped.

......

Dunhuang Thousand Buddha Caves.

In a newly dug Buddha cave, painters from the Central Plains are seriously painting murals.

The main color of the mural is lapis lazuli from the Western Regions, which is said to be more beautiful than the blue sea. In addition to various stories of Buddhism, there is also a picture of a mother and child in the Central Plains.

A fierce tiger pounced on the mother and son, and the mother held the child tightly in her arms, holding the child's head with one hand to prevent the child from seeing, and holding the child's body with the other, but the whole back was unguarded, facing the rushing tiger.

The craftsman who was making the sculpture said to the painter: "This Dunhuang has finally regained its former vitality, and the digging of this thousand Buddha caves has stopped for almost a hundred years, and now it is starting again, and we people have a place to play." ”

"Yes! Hexi finally returned to China after a hundred years, and these caves have regained their former glory. In the end, the Jokhang is different, His Majesty granted amnesty to the world, and also abolished the Zhulian system, which was praised by officials and the people. ”

"The good days I've been waiting for are yet to come! But why did the owner draw this picture of a tiger swooping down? The sculptor wondered.

"You didn't know if you came in halfway, but the owner will come over today, and you'll know when you see it."

Outside the cave, a young couple was just about to get out of the carriage, and the man was extremely nervous and helped the pregnant lady to come down slowly.

"Ayin, we've finally arrived."

Finish.
