If you want to talk about the harm of floods, when Zhou Zhe was still in Longquan Pass, there was a flood in Hedong, and the people of a county were affected, and finally the county government deceived and did not report it. And the people became like ducks being driven around, and they were exiled to Xilin County, where they were removed from the old and young by the Hundred Knife Gate, leaving the young and strong. At that time, Zhou Zheshi was lonely and weak, and he could only watch these people do evil.

Now, with the sword in hand, and looking at the homeless people, it is still like the heart is dripping blood.

Along the way, the Gyeonggi neighborhood was fine. When I left Gyeonggi three days later and arrived at Fengseongfu, I realized that Gyeonggi's goodness was not because it was far away, but because his people were helping with disaster relief and stopped the refugees from Gyeonggi.

"Zhan Qili, how long can you hold on now?" Looking at the victims outside the city, Zhou Zhe's scalp was numb.

And Zhan Qili's answer was also unreliable: "I don't know." Every day, grain is transported from the north to the south, and now it has to be escorted by heavy troops. ”

Zhou Zhe understands that without heavy escort, it is estimated that half of the road can be robbed.

"How did things get to such a point? This place is hundreds of miles away from the Rootless River, why did they all gather in Fengcheng Mansion?"

"Because there's food here. Zhan Qili was a little helpless: "Originally, the three state capitals near the Wugen River were only affected, and even if the brothers of the internal guard reported the situation and organized the people to flee, so many people fled north. But there are many people, and so much food is consumed. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhan Qili sighed: "Since the flood, the price of grain in various parts of Hedong has begun to skyrocket, and the displaced people cannot afford to buy food, and there is a lack of constraints. At first, I walked all the way, begging all the way. Later, when he was hungry, he plundered everywhere. Hedong was originally newly settled, and people's hearts were a little unstable. There is also a remnant of Yipintang operating in it. Looting along the way, rolling more and more. Now, if there is no food, I am afraid that Gyeonggi will also suffer, and it is unpredictable to what extent. ”

Zhou Zhe has a little brain pain, it's only been a few days?

The situation is serious enough just as Zhan Qili said, and the sinister one is even more unfathomable.

"Yuncheng is the capital of Hedong, what is the political envoy Wu Chenglin doing? How can so many people not stay in Yuncheng Mansion, but let them wander around? And where is Yuncheng Hou Qiyuan?"

Zhan Qili shook her head: "Now the news from Yuncheng Mansion is almost cut off, according to the refugees outside the city, they can only drink gruel once a day outside Yuncheng Mansion, and someone guides them to other state capitals for relief." ”

Zhou Zhe doesn't need to ask more, it would have been right to disperse relief to reduce the pressure on the center, but if it is used by people with intentions, coupled with robbing the people who have not been affected by disasters along the way, it will become a snowball of displaced people, and finally it will get bigger and bigger. The temporary inability to produce also causes them to eat every grain like locusts.

As a result, Zhou Zhe blamed himself a little, he shouldn't have sold all the grain, he was too greedy, and he expected to knock down those black-hearted businessmen and the masters behind them with one punch. He overestimated the bottom line of those people, underestimated their greed, and scattered the relief I have to say, I am afraid that it was used by Qi Yuan, and it was also used by the remnants of Yipintang.

So the victims all went to Fengcheng Mansion and to his territory. The relatives hated him because Zhou Zhe blocked them outside Hexi, outside Shandong. The remnants of Yipintang also hated him, because he killed the main force of Yipintang and kicked them down from their high position in Hedong.

How many people are there outside the city today? hundreds of thousands, or millions, and how much food is enough to eat?

Besides, he still couldn't figure it out, now that the refugees had obviously lost the ability to buy food, why didn't Qi Yuan hurry up to provide disaster relief and appease people's hearts? Could it be that things have reached the point of being out of control?

With doubts and caution, Zhou Zhe still began to arrange, the first thing was to find out the remnants of Yipintang who were mixed in with the refugees.

The city wall of Fengcheng Mansion is not the city wall of Longquan Pass, in case he walks on the front foot, there will be a problem with the back foot, it will definitely not work.

"Wang Rui, you also know the situation, now there are hundreds of thousands of refugees here, is there a problem with finding out those people from it?"

Wang Rui and Zhou Zhe have been fighting side by side for many years, but they just thought about it for a while and affirmed

"No problem. ”

After speaking, Wang Rui turned around and went down the city wall to arrange people to do things, the cronies have all been trained in the internal guard, and these little things can't be arranged by Zhou Zhe himself.

"Yu Deshui, I'm afraid you have to move, take Liang Yu, select a thousand new troops who are familiar with the terrain of Hedong, bypass Yuncheng in the south, and find a way to transport the disciples of Dinghai Pavilion in Hexi by water, and transport grain to the closest place to Yuncheng. By the way, I collected information along the way, and the origin of the flood, I don't believe it. Zhou Zhe's face was full of anger, and now the situation made him angry.

"Understood, Master Hou!" Yu Deshui, Liang Yu clenched his fists and turned to leave.

is also the baby-faced Yu Deshui, and the same nerd-like honest child Liang Yu, but now, not only has he become a parent, but he is also a person who can take charge of himself.

"Zhan Qili, unless you make a detour from the capital to the south, you must pass through Fengcheng Mansion, and now unless I order you, no matter who leads the team, all the grain will only be unloaded on the spot in Fengcheng Mansion. ”

"Understood. ”

"Liu Maosheng, when Wang Rui finds out the scum of Yipintang, you will go and select the elite of the refugees, and the number will be about five thousand as much as possible, and you will look at it. ”

"Understood. ”

As Zhou Zhe sent out one instruction after another, Zhou Zhe put his hand to his head, thinking about whether there was any omission. There are many people in Dasheng, many refugees, and many spiritual cultivators, but there are not many people who can help him think about things.

Count on Lin Xiaoer or Duan Xiangsi beside him, forget it! Yuan Yuan and Fang Fang? Those are two professors, it is better to ask the brothers under him if they ask about the East and West Sects of the Spiritual Cultivation Realm and the strategies of human nature.

Sighing, acting forcefully, he still wrote a letter on the paper and handed it to Suo.

"Go to Shandong Road and hand it over to Si Shengnan. ”

Ten days, the time limit for all Zhou Zhe's orders is ten days, within ten days, he wants clear information, within ten days he wants to stabilize the situation, and within ten days, he wants the situation in Hedong not to deteriorate.

Everyone is working hard to speed up the completion of the tasks assigned by Zhou Zhe.

And while Zhou Zhe was acting, Lord Qincha, who was far away in Yuncheng, and Hou Qiyuan of Yuncheng, finally showed his hideous fangs.

In the living room, out of Qi Yuan, there were several people familiar with Zhou Zhe, Linji Hou Lu Kai, Ding Tao Bo Gong Dacheng, Guangling Hou Xue Ji, and of course, the profiteers under the family who had bought Zhou Zhe's grain. And sitting on the main seat is the leader of Hedong, Wu Chenglin.

"Lord Wu, we have been waiting for a few days, there are now ownerless vacant land everywhere outside this city, as long as you stamp the big seal, this land is sold to these righteous merchants, they will naturally contribute money and food to help with disaster relief, and a little flood is not to worry about. ”

It was Qi Yuan who spoke, and the others were also watching Wu Chenglin, waiting for his attitude.

Wu Chenglin sighed, people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven. He has no political ambitions, nor is he greedy for money, but he is just a vassal and elegant, and he is leisurely. Originally, it was not his turn to do big and small things in Hedong, because he was set aside. The officials in the yamen are all people from Yipintang, or people who are coerced by them, and they can't go out of Yuncheng, which is a portrayal of him.

Even if Hedong Jingping was later, he didn't want to do much to learn from Zheng Tong, or what he did, he was already in his fifties, and after a few more days, he could retire and return to Beijing.

However, trouble still came to the door.

He knew the cause of the flood, and he chose not to say it, because he was afraid of offending people.

Because he has already offended once, that is, when Hedong Jingping, a group of relatives wanted to buy all the land that Hedong could buy.

Wu Chenglin is not clear, but Hexi is a lesson from the past, and Shi Yunjie, the head of the household, is also a lesson from the past. Did so many powerful sects in Hexi finally relented on the issue of handing over land? If Shi Yunjie hadn't sold his land, could he have been relegated to Henan Province to be a political envoy?

A few days ago, he was really sad and powerless to provide disaster relief.

Qi Yuan came with the holy decree and food, and he was overjoyed. Whatever is asked, almost nothing is not granted.

Now, the posterior is here again.

Dividing land for disaster relief is a good strategy, but do the state capitals have so much food for disaster relief?

He made a mistake that he thought he had. Yes, he thought there was. But the little omissions in the accounts were shown to him, so that he thought there was. As a result, the displaced people who have been affected by the disaster have wandered and plundered, and more and more people have become victims.

In the end, they had to leave their homeland and began their life of fleeing.

So now, Qi Yuan and several other relatives who had lost patience finally couldn't bear it anymore and had a complete showdown with him.

When the flood happened, you didn't do anything, and if you didn't take the right measures, you will be killed, you know?

Of course Wu Chenglin knew, so he regretted it.

But difficulties are also ahead, he handed over all the land in Hedong to his relatives, will Zhou Zhe take him under the knife? Even if he Zhou Zhe is far away in the capital and has never been there in person. But people live old and are never strangers to danger.

In the hall, everyone looked at Wu Chenglin's face uncertainly, and they didn't understand what he was worried about.

Xue Ji asked, "Lord Wu, don't you believe a few of us, as long as you are willing to resell the land in Hedong to all the righteous merchants." There's nothing that can't be solved. Household,You don't have to worry.,Although the light of all is old.。。 The master is a scholar, but other people can also get this thing over. What do you say?"

The old immortal didn't shout, after all, Wu Chenglin's age is not young.

Wu Chenglin was worried about whether the household department would be able to pass the test, and then sighed and expressed his doubts

"I know your kindness. But if this official allows you, what will Zhou Zhe do? I know that he has clearly opposed the private and arbitrary sale of land in the court. You have also seen the example of Hexi Shandong. ”

It turns out that the crux of the problem is this.

Everyone in the guest seats in the hall glanced at each other, and then Qi Yuan spoke again

"Land transactions belong to the local civil administration, and he is a deputy commander of internal security, so he is too lenient. His own affairs haven't been taken care of yet, and he can't manage so much. And now that I'm a Qincha, who dares to care about me except the emperor?"

This is not arrogant, but now Qi Yuan, he really has this confidence.

Gong Dacheng also covered up and said: "Actually, Your Majesty also understands that Hedong is a place for our old relatives and grandchildren to eat, Lord Wu, do you say yes?"

Having said that, Wu Chenglin was helpless, either waiting for the disaster relief to take the blame, or he could only take advantage of the fact that there was still room for redemption to agree to the request of the person in front of him.

"That's it!" Wu Chenglin finally gave up, he didn't want to dwell on it anymore, he didn't want to have endless fights with these people, isn't it just land? I'm to blame, why don't you?

Isn't it beautiful that the lackeys under the doors of each family have happy faces, and finally achieved their wishes?

When the big seal was sealed, the jubilant lackeys left with a few relatives, leaving Wu Chenglin with a lost face.

"A dilemma of life and death. What can I do?" Wu Chenglin almost fainted and shouted this sentence.

And after the big seal was stamped, Qi Yuan announced the detailed rules for disaster relief that had been formulated in advance, and he was not unable to do it, nor was he unable to do it. But why did I break my leg for those mud-legged men?

The people were ignorant, they only saw what Qi Yuan showed them, they only heard what Qi Yuan told them and the food that was distributed to them.

"You are saved, and you are not grateful to the emperor?"

And he, in private, has taken the land on which the people depend for their survival, and then danced with the group of children in the house with beautiful women.
