Chapter 802: Breaking the Levee
The two exchanged a few more polite words, and the emperor turned to De'an and said, "Please let Zhang Yuan'an come in!" ”
Changtianfu, in the backyard of the prefect's house.
One person stumbled towards the main room, ignoring the mother-in-law guarding the door, and shouted as he ran: "My lord! Oh no, the Tianya River has burst!
Qian Huichun was still lying on the couch, but Lang Zhong had just given him medicine and tied up his injured leg.
"Sir! You're just too anxious, look! After a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, I don't know when I will be able to walk on the ground. ”
The prefect's wife, Lian, fanned Qian Huichun with a fan and wiped the sweat stains on her head, and complained in her mouth.
At this time, Qian Huichun had already changed into clean clothes, his eyes were slightly closed, and his eyes were dark.
"What do you know as a woman? If the Tianya River bursts, not only will I lose my black yarn hat, but even the lives of our family will not be saved! Shouldn't I be worried? This is a major event related to the career and the life of the family! ”
Lian pursed his lips and muttered, "Where did you say that you were so serious?" On this day, the Yajiang River rises every year, and I haven't seen it burst its banks. It's just that you are timid, and you still run to the river with those subordinates on such a day, and you don't care about your own body too much. ”
Qian Huichun was upset by Lian's chatter, "Okay! Go and prepare me something to eat, I'm hungry!" ”
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished saying this, he heard someone shouting outside.
"Who is shouting outside? Why is there such an unruly approach? Lian sounded like a man's voice, how could this man come to the backyard?
The rules in the house are getting more and more unseemly, and Lian is ready to wait out to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall.
Qian Huichun was also very impatient, but he immediately thought of something and sat up.
The voice had come from far and near, and had come to the door of the main room.
"Master, it's not good! The Tianya River has burst! ”
This hoarse cry made Qian Huichun roll his eyes in fright, and he fainted without mentioning it in one breath.
"Sir! What happened to you? Lian just wanted to go out to see what was going on, but Qian Huichun's sudden fainting startled Lian.
"Sir? Quick, go and call Lang Zhong! "Lian can't take care of it at this time, the master is the backbone of the house. The old man has fainted, where can she manage anything else?
The six gods of the Lian clan have no owner, and they don't know what to do.
"Oops! Madam, pinch the master's people! Seeing this, the old mother who was waiting on the side hurriedly reminded.
This should be in a hurry, and I fainted.
"Hey! Right! ”
Then there was a rush of scramble, and Lian was among the people who strangled Qian Huichun. After a while, Qian Huichun finally woke up.
As soon as he woke up, Qian Huichun's eyes were still a little dazed. But then, he immediately became manic, "Is it Chen Zhao outside?" Fast! Come in and talk back! ”
Where can Qian Huichun take care that this is a backyard at this time, he is now inconvenient with his legs and feet, so he can only ask Chen Zhao to give him a detailed explanation.
"My lord! The embankment in the lower reaches of the Tianya River, near Yuanli Village, was unbearable to the impact of the river, and it really collapsed. The river poured into the fertile fields and villages, and as soon as I went to see it, there was no sign of the houses. ”
Chen Zhao was also scared enough at this time, and when he heard that the Tianya River had been washed away, he thought of Yuanli Village.
When he hurried to get closer to Yuanli Village, he saw from a distance that the originally dense village had turned into an ocean.
There was no sign of the house, and even the roof was submerged in the river. It's so fast!
Finished! It's all over! Chen Zhao shook his legs and climbed on the horse with a mournful roar.
When Qian Huichun heard that the village in the garden was flooded, his face turned pale with fright.
He shuddered, "How many villages have you drowned?" Didn't this official ask the people to evacuate last night? How many people were evacuated? ”
Qian Huichun still had a glimmer of hope at this time, hoping that the people in these villages would be evacuated and left.
"Back to my lord! Where will those people leave their homeland? Yesterday, all the people from our yamen went to the village, and only a small half of them were willing to leave. He also said that it was too late to leave overnight, and he had to bring his family's finances, and he didn't know how many people could escape at this time. The yamen is short of manpower, and those people are reluctant to give up their livestock, procrastinating, and the number of people has not yet been counted. ”
It was also the first time for Chen Zhao to encounter such a big flood, and he was flustered. But he was so articulate that he told the story in general.
"What do you mean no one, didn't the official ask you to send someone to the Yanjiang Prefecture Mansion to deliver water reports before? For this 100,000 urgent matter, other state capitals will inevitably help, didn't they send people over? ”
Qian Huichun was sweating suddenly, his mind was in a mess now, and he didn't know what to do at all.
"My lord! Those state capitals sent people over, day and night, and finally arrived at the end of the day. But those people were really the road, so we let them rest for two hours, who would have thought that the embankment would collapse so suddenly. ”
Qian Huichun couldn't listen to what Chen Zhao said now, he made up his mind and knew that he couldn't panic now.
Now that this has happened, we have to think of ways to remedy it. Now it is small to lose the black gauze hat, but it is big to save your life.
"Go and gather everyone, including the officials and officials of the county towns below. Let the water supervisor and the river patrol officer take the manpower to save people. In addition, arrange a water report as soon as possible and go to the state capital of Linjiang to report the news. Count the population according to the household registration to see how many people have been flooded. ”
Qian Huichun made arrangements for these things, and then prepared to go down to the ground to put on shoes.
"Oops! Sir, what are you doing here? Lang Zhong said, your legs can't move yet. Otherwise, the bones will grow crooked, and you will become lame. ”
Seeing that Qian Huichun was about to go to the ground, Lian hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Smack!"
Qian Huichun was anxious at this time, where could he hear Lian's chirping?
"Stupid woman! Now that my eyebrows are burning, I won't be in charge of the overall situation, I can't save my life, what are you talking about lameness? Our family has to die with Huangquan. ”
Qian Huichun looked angry and ruined, and he didn't show any mercy at all. Regardless of covering his face, with an unbelievable look on his face, Qian Huichun called someone to take him out.
......
"How? Envoy Zhang, is there a problem with this longevity pill? After seeing that the envoy of the Zhang Yuan had tasted the medicinal powder, the emperor frowned and was silent for a long time.
His heart couldn't help but rise, and he desperately hoped that this elixir could have the effect of prolonging life.
After tasting it, Zhang Yuan's envoy tasted a few medicinal herbs, all of which were good medicines for warming and nourishing the body. But there are still a few flavors in it, and he can't taste it.
"Grandmaster! I wonder what other herbs are here? The official must understand the main medicine, otherwise the emperor should not take it rashly. ”
Envoy Zhang looked at Daoist Tianji, he tasted it just now, and the medicine should be non-toxic.
But the pharmacology is not clear, and even the medicinal materials in it are not poisons. However, many medicinal materials are mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive.
