At the beginning of August in the tenth year of Xining, several heavy rains finally stopped, the sky above the capital was green and blue, the sun was in the sky today, the white clouds were long, and anyone who saw this kind of weather should have a good mood. But unfortunately, for the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, he has been disturbed by the bad news for several days, and when the sky is just gray, he is already sitting in the court, and as for what kind of weather it is outside, he has no time to pay attention to it.

“…… On the 17th, the Yellow River decided on the Cao Village, Xuzhou reported on the 26th, the north flow was cut off, the Yellow River migrated southward, converged in Liangshanbo, Zhang Zebo, divided into two branches, the south branch of the Nanjing River into the Huai, the north branch of the North Qing River into the sea, yesterday Zhengzhou Xingze reported that the Yellow River was decided again, and the heavy rain in Hebei, the local guards reported, the water was deep to two zhang! The water in Heyang has risen into a disaster, and the Cangwei River has risen into a disaster......" Cai Qu, the governor of the imperial history, was almost scattered all over the place, and the voice of urgent slander reverberated in the court, impacting the hearts of the emperor and hundreds of officials.

"What about the losses?" The emperor pressed his brows, this was the biggest disaster in the Yellow River that he had heard since he ascended the throne, and his expression was solemn, which made his already somewhat sick face even more ugly.

"Your Majesty, at present, 45 prefectures and counties have been flooded, more than 300,000 hectares of fields have been affected, tens of thousands of houses have been destroyed, and more than 700,000 households have been affected, with a total of more than 3 million! Although the death toll cannot be counted at present, it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was busy in the ranks, and now it was a little cool in autumn, the sweat on his body soaked through the official robe, and he couldn't say whether he was nervous or sad, and his voice trembled obviously.

These words made the court breathe, to see that the drought has not yet eased, and there is such a large area of floods, is it really God bless my court? Of course, no one dared to say this, and then before the emperor was held accountable, someone stood up to hold him accountable, Yun Moumou's department was so happy that he opened up water conservancy so much that roads were repaired in various places, and the river was dredged and the treasury was flashy, etc., and the spearhead was pointed directly at the firm New Law Party with Cai Quwei, only Cai Qu, who was not good-tempered, trembled all over, and stood up with his sleeves rolled.

Who is Cai Zhen? It stands to reason that the flood should not be played by him, but the planning of dredging the Yellow River, the Zhanghe River, the Imperial River, the farmland water conservancy law, etc., which are highly recommended by Wang Anshi, are all handled by him.

“…… Seeing that the court decree is inconvenient, I don't know what to say, but I don't know what to say! Cai did say that the opposition representative was disgraced, "Let me ask you, since you know about the false report, why didn't you play it earlier?" ”

The ministers in the court bowed their heads one after another, and said secretly, yes, this kid is finished, Lord Cai just scolded Comrade Shen Kuo who used to be a trench with these words, and the emperor is now the most unseen is that Lord Wang Anshi has just left the court, and some people can't help but want to do something to the new law, and sure enough, the angry emperor immediately ordered this person to pack up his baggage and let him go.

"Qing will report the names and official positions of the local guards in the flood area, and the water supervisors will survey the water conservancy along the road, and I will severely punish the relevant officials for the crime of performing their duties!" It was less than thirty years old The emperor turned against the feminine of the past, his voice was sharp, his face was bruised, and his every move carried the unique murderous aura of the royal family.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority is disaster relief, and I see that winter is coming, and the victims have no food, clothing, and housing, and the farmland has lost too much, how to remedy it needs to be solved urgently, and I hope Your Majesty will know it!" The new waiter Li Rong came out and said, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Du Shuijian's friend expressed his gratitude to him with the hand behind him, and couldn't help but hide a smile at the corner of his mouth.

The emperor leaned on the dragon chair and exhaled a breath, yes, disaster relief, millions of victims, hundreds of thousands of fertile fields, this time is the period when the rice is about to be harvested, and now it is all in vain! The emperor's gaze swept over the ministers, and when he saw that they were all bowing their heads and silent, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and his gaze fell on a thin young man who was not like a member of the court, but like a hungry people fleeing.

"Liu Qing!" The emperor perked up and hurriedly called.

"The minister is here!" Liu Xiaohu hurriedly stepped forward, feeling that all the eyes in the court were focused on him, counting that he had not been to the court for about a month, and suddenly he felt uncomfortable with the uncertain gaze.

"Since the July holiday, I have browsed the collection of books and traveled abroad, and I have only returned recently, but where have I gone?" The emperor looked at this young man who had not seen him for a few days, and saw that his complexion was much darker, although he was thin, his face was shining, and he had a fresh rural atmosphere on his body, so he couldn't help but relieve a trace of sullenness, and asked slowly.

"The minister went to Taihe and visited the dragon slayer." Liu Xiaohu bowed and replied.

"Dragon Slayer?" The emperor frowned, searching for this person in his memory, as if he had heard of it somewhere, Deng Juan saw this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this son is the sixth year of Jiangzhou Sima." ”

The emperor suddenly remembered and said quietly: "Oh, it's the kid who wrote poems in the official mansion and didn't want to farm for officials!" ”

Deng Juan smiled and said: "Exactly, it is not an official to go away with his sleeves, and when Huan Hai saw his heart to Tian, he asked who picked up the bucket outside the sky, and there were dragon slaying students." ”

The emperor likes poetry, but he doesn't like this poem very much, and he doesn't have much impression of this person, so he can't help but ask curiously: "Liu Qing knows him old?" ”

Liu Xiaohu nodded and said: "When the minister was in white clothes, he traveled to Wu Yue and met him, Mr. is proficient in agricultural affairs, and he once guided the minister to treat rice plague. ”

The emperor sighed and hurriedly said, "So this person is also a prodigy in farming?" Why isn't he an official? When he asked this, Liu Xiaohu sneered slightly, and there seemed to be a trace of bitterness lingering between his lips and teeth, and he said slowly: "Mr. said that farmers are the first in government, so they should concentrate on farming and must not be distracted......"

The emperor sighed, lost interest, and secretly said that this person was just a person who was buried in waiting for fame, so he returned his thoughts to the front of him, frowned, and said: "Now that the flood has just receded, it is the time of autumn planting, can Liu Qing have a good countermeasure?" ”

Liu Xiaohu thought for a moment, took a few deep breaths, and then said: "In view of the fields that are flooded for too long and are bound to be lost, the minister suggests sowing a large number of sowing beans, although the sowing season of the beans has passed, but it can still be replanted. ”

Seeing that he was right, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and said: "In this way, Liu Qing also asked him to go to inspect with the capital water supervisor to guide the autumn planting in various places." ”

Liu Xiaohu bowed down and had not yet entered the ranks, so he heard Li Rong say on the side: "Your Majesty, now that the Cheng'an Cao family has returned to Cheng'an, not far from the capital, can you recruit it, or can you cooperate with Lord Liu?" I couldn't help but pause, turned around a little stiffly, glanced at Li Rong, and heard the emperor cough twice: "That, Liu Qing, what do you think?" "Anyway, the emperor was a little embarrassed to ask, but the flood was serious, but the emperor was at a loss in his heart, and he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he couldn't care about any face problems.

Liu Xiaohu turned around violently, stiffened his back, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, although the rice harvest has been wiped out in this flood, it has not yet reached the time for autumn planting, as long as you do a good job in planting winter wheat, beans, and vegetables, it is not enough to endanger the grain production in the coming year, and the minister ...... Ministers and other officials, but do your best. ”

The emperor said haha, taking advantage of Liu Xiaohu's return, he glanced at Li Rong, how clever Li Rong was, he could know that the early dynasty finally dispersed at noon, and the hungry ministers rushed home one after another.

Liu Xiaohu was pulled by Deng Juan and others, saying some goodbye reunion and words, and the people who followed said some adults on this trip, which is really a major event for the benefit of the people, and the important return must be added to the official and envious words such as envy, Liu Xiaohu smiled silently, thanked everyone, and then said goodbye to go, and was pulled by Deng Juan with one hand and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I have to go out, but I have to have a good time, where can I let you go." Some people echoed one after another, Liu Xiaohu hurriedly bowed his head and said: "I haven't been filial piety for a long time, I am ashamed to be a son of man, everyone forgive me, and when Yanzhang returns from this trip, I should be drunk to thank you." ”

Hearing him say this, knowing that his old mother was sick and bedridden, everyone was not easy to keep, and said something to hug him out of the palace gate, when Liu Xiaohu got on the horse and said goodbye, his eyes swept over the people in the scattered dynasty, and Li Rong was not seen, so he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and pulled the reins to urge the horse to gallop away.

The Yellow River flood, for the people in the capital, did not have any impact, but the boats came and went more, the corner of Qiaotou begging for food more people, when it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the street door color building flower head all over, because of the large number of pedestrians, Liu Xiaohu had to lead the horse, smelled the aroma of the new wine in the restaurant around, so he went to play some, and bought some newly listed crabs to go home, Zhang Si was at the door to tie the lantern, saw that he came to take over.

"Madame?" Liu Xiaohu asked casually, patted his clothes and walked into the house, listening to Zhang Si say in the back, "I just bought the fruit and came back" and nodded and went straight to Liu's house.

Liu was sitting on the couch in the middle hall, drawing the upper of his shoe with his clumsy right hand, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly put down and smiled: "It's so late today? While calling the newly bought girl who was packed up in the room to pass the meal, Liu Xiaohu sent the crab she bought to the stove, and the little girl took it away, Liu Xiaohu sat down and said some gossip before saying that she was going out again.

"It's okay, seek his position in his position, you can do a good job of the official family with peace of mind, I'm much better now, don't think about it outside." Liu said with a smile, took his hand and patted it, and paused: "It's just that I'm afraid that your daughter-in-law will be unhappy, so talk to her well." ”

Liu Xiaohu nodded in response, and the little girl came with roast goose meat, cornmeal and rosehip pie and hot porridge, Liu Xiaohu couldn't help but say: "It's more extravagant, I just use some cake porridge." ”

"Madame specially left it." The little girl said, Liu Xiaohu didn't speak, ate two bites of meat, and then stopped eating, Liu said while tracing his shoes: "I heard that there are many people affected by the disaster, and there are many refugees in Beijing, Zhang Si said that the neighbors have donated money and materials, I think we will donate some too," he stopped, sighed and said, "We also escaped the disaster back then, and we know the suffering." ”

After saying that, he was stunned, and he felt a little uncomfortable, and then he saw Liu Xiaohu stop his chopsticks and look down thoughtfully, and he knew that he thought of that person like himself, and he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and listened to the sound of footsteps outside the door, Song Yulou said outside: "Zhang Si, keep the door tight, now there are more begging people in the city, put it in carefully!" The line said that he came in with a curtain, holding a plate and putting jujube pears in his hand.
