Chapter 65: The Snow Disaster

Anzi has never seen such a big snow when he grows so big, and when he gets up the next day, he builds a snowman in the courtyard, and Banxia wears a thick jacket and skirt, and wears a cloak and a hand stove, standing on the edge of the courtyard and looking at him, not to give some opinions.

"Madam, the snow is heavy, you can't stand in the courtyard for a long time, let's eat breakfast first." Shan Yu brought breakfast and reminded that half summer had arrived.

"Sister, you go inside to eat, I've got it piled up, you can come out and take a look."

"Well, you can't take off your gloves, or you'll get frostbite."

Breakfast is minced meat porridge plus some appetizing side dishes, Liangzhou this boundary, the wind and sand are big, vegetables are rare, Gansui specially in the yard, set up a warm shed, ready to plant some vegetables for Banxia. However, the seeds have not yet germinated.

Halfway through the meal in Banxia, Anzi came in, "Hurry up and come in to warm up, do you want to have some more breakfast." ”

"I'll eat it, you can eat it, and my brother-in-law left very early?"

"Heavy snow, a lot of things, I heard that the county down there is a serious snow disaster, he took people to see it early in the morning, and he can't come back at noon." Banxia said and looked at the sky outside. The snow was still falling in the sky, the snowflakes were dense and thick, and the wind was whining. From time to time, snow particles hit the window and crackled. Banxia frowned, feeling a little worried inexplicably.

Anzi saw her like this and hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law just went down to inspect, it's fine, sister don't worry." ”

Banxia didn't want Anzi to be worried, so she smiled and continued to eat.

Hanshui drove Gansui to the county, and someone was clearing the snow on the road, but the snow was too thick, and he didn't dare to urge the horse to gallop, so he walked slowly all the way. On weekdays, it only takes half a day to travel, but this time it took more than an hour to arrive. By the time they arrived, the sky had cleared slightly, and the snow had begun to fall.

When he came to the county office, he didn't even have a guard officer, so he walked in all the way, and when he was about to reach the gate, an officer came out of the side room, his hat belt was crooked, and asked viciously: "Who is it, do you know where this is, go inside, and be careful to arrest you and put you in prison." ”

The common people sometimes fear and dislike the government because of these little errands, who are fierce and vicious at every turn, obviously they are little shrimps, but they look high up and put on a cold face.

Gan Sui didn't have the heart to worry about this little shrimp, so he only took out his identity document, "Is the county official here?" ”

The officer took it, but didn't open it, "I can't read, show me what to do." You say anything directly, do you think that the county master is so idle, everyone will see him. ”

"Gansui, the prefect of Liangzhou, came to inspect the snow disaster in Lingxian County."

"Prefect...... Magistrate! I didn't know it was you......"

"Is Wang Xian Ling here?"

"In ...... Absence...... The villain doesn't know either. "The servant was sweating in the cold.

"Then you go in and report it, the county will be there after all."

The messenger hurried in.

But after a while, the county Cheng stumbled out, he accompanied the county order to the state capital half a month ago to narrate, only to see Gan Sui, now I feel more impressed, "Qian County Cheng, isn't your Wang county commander in the mansion?" ”

"The prefectural magistrate is sick and is recuperating in the backyard."

"I'm sick, so I'm going to visit him."

"Your Excellency...... My lord...... It's not very convenient. Qian Xiancheng dodged, and Gan Sui could see at a glance that he was lying. Gan Sui walked to the county office, and said as he walked, "I don't care if your Wang County Commander is really sick, as long as you don't get up, let him roll me to the front hall within half a pillar of incense." ”

Gan Sui strode inside, the county town didn't know whether to hold him or go to report to the county order, stunned for a second Gan Sui had already passed the front hall, and the county stomped his feet and walked to the back office.

As soon as Gan Sui pushed the door in, there were still a few people in the house, looking at Gan Sui with a frightened face. Now he understands why the county Cheng just now is desperately pulling him, and the relationship has not been cleaned up yet.

There was a charcoal pot burning in the house, which was very warm to the smell of wine and meat in the room, and there were scattered dice under the table, these people were still closed in the house to eat, drink and have fun when the people's houses collapsed and their lives were dying.

"Yes, you're so nice."

Gan Sui ignored them, saw a chair and sat down, closed his eyes and rested.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Majesty's ...... It's a big deal! Lord Wang was still sleeping with his beautiful concubine in his arms in the bed, and he heard the sound of knocking on the door.

He asked impatiently, "What's the matter, the early morning shouting?" ”

"Prefect...... The prefect has already arrived in the front hall, so let you go quickly. ”

Wang Xianling hurriedly got up and dressed in clothes, he was already fat, and his clothes were thick in winter, so he was sweating in a hurry, and the busier he was, the more messy his clothes were, and he couldn't tear his clothes clearly, so he woke up and wore them together.

Gan Sui waited for almost a stick of incense, and Wang County's order was late.

As soon as he entered, he opened his eyes willingly. "I heard that Wang Xianling is sick? How can I see that you are red-faced, not like you look sick. Gan Sui stared at him.

Wang Xianling wiped his sweat, "I took medicine yesterday, and I am better today." He saw Gan Sui sitting alone on a chair again, "What are you people doing, adults don't have a cup of tea when they come, what are you doing while standing?" Saying that, he hurriedly went to carry the teapot, the teapot was already empty, and Wang Xianling stopped in embarrassment.

"Don't be polite, let's talk about the victims of this snow disaster."

"Okay, let's talk about the affected households...... Lord Wang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Let's talk about the most severely affected Wang Daniu's family, what is the current situation of his family, and how is it settled......"

"Wang Da Niu, Wang Da Niu...... "Where did Wang Xian Ling know this, even the excerpts reported yesterday were written by the scribe, and he didn't even read it.

"I don't know much about this person? Let's talk about Zhang Erdan's family. ”

"I ...... I ......"

"Lord Wang still doesn't know, so let's just tell me what you know, right?"

"That ......," Wang Xianling looked at the county magistrate.

"My lord, I'll give you ......"

"Shut up, I didn't ask you."

"Why doesn't Lord Wang know anything about the affairs in the county?"

Wang Xian Ling pounced and knelt down, "Xia Guan is guilty, Xia Guan was sick a few days ago, and he was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't get up, so there are some omissions in government affairs, and I hope your Excellency will forgive me." ”

"Forgive me? How can I forgive me, the houses of the people have collapsed, they have no fixed place to live, their crops are buried in the snow, their bellies are hungry, and on such a snowy day, you are here eating meat and drinking wine, lying hot and hot, what about them...... Wang County Order, wearing this clothes, you are their parent official. You touch your conscience yourself, are you worthy of this official uniform, worthy of your money? "Gan Sui is rarely angry, and this time he is really angry." Your dereliction of duty, we'll talk about it later, but now we'll go out on the streets. ”

The situation on the street was even worse, all the way to the south of the city, where the houses were crushed and the four cities were crushed, and several times I saw those old and weak women and children huddled in the dilapidated houses, shivering, and their lips were purple from the cold.

These people still have a place to live, and as for the beggars who have no place to live, their stiff corpses are still lying on the side of the road.

"I remember that the state government specially allocated silver taels to let people at the county level repair the houses, Wang County Order, you come and tell me, why the houses in your county still collapsed so much."

"The house in the county is old, we came to repair it, and we can't help such a heavy snow...... "Wang Xianling whispered.

"Hanshui, go and inquire, has anyone come to fix it."

Hanshui walked forward quickly, Wang Xianling's face turned white with fright, and he said tremblingly: "Lord Gan, they are all officials in the same dynasty, don't do it so desperately." The county handed over a dozen silver tickets, "A little caution is not respectful." ”

Gan Sui accepted the money and smiled. The stones hanging in the hearts of Wang Xianling and Qian Xiancheng fell, and they were willing to accept the cash.

"Who's that, come here." Gan Sui pointed to an errand officer below.

The messenger quickly moved forward: "Your Excellency, you command." ”

"Take the money and go to the rice shop in the city and buy rice." , Gan Sui drew out two silver tickets, yo ho, the face value is quite large, both are one hundred and two. Hand it to the officer. He also gave another messenger a card: "Find two more people, take them to buy a few pots, cotton clothes and charcoal, there is a ruined temple over there, and find some people to cook porridge later, it is so cold that the people must drink hot." ”

took out the last one and handed it to the county Cheng, "Lord County Cheng, take this one for you to hire a few more craftsmen, be sure to repair the collapsed houses of the people, this time I don't want to hear any more words about how long the building has been building for a long time, and it really can't be carried, understand?" ”

"Understood, understood, the lower officials will go immediately."

Gan Sui personally stared, these people did not dare to slack off, and at noon, the first pot of porridge was finally boiled.

"Don't crowd everyone, line up, everyone has it, everyone has it." Gan Sui personally gave porridge, Wang Xianling was not easy to look at, and he also went with him, he had not done much work, scooping porridge so that his arm was sore and could not stop, there were too many victims, it was not easy to drink hot, many people drank a bowl and came a second time, Wang Xianling wanted to burst his mouth many times, but Gan Sui was still around, so he could only hold it back, pretending to have an expression of loving the people like a child.

A bowl of hot porridge went down, the body warmed up, and the heart began to warm up, I thought I would die in this winter, but I didn't expect that after a while, the cries of the people came one after another, as if crying all the grievances.

Gansui and they gave soup until the afternoon, boiled several large pots, and when they were hungry halfway, they drank hot porridge themselves, and the people came wave after wave, and it was getting late, and Gansui was ready to go back.

"Do you want to rest for one night before leaving?" Wang County ordered to hurry up. Sending money doesn't work, but you can also try the beauty trick. He had already asked the county to pick a good-looking and troublesome woman, and he was waiting to blow the pillow wind on the prefect at night. After many years as an official, he can be regarded as having learned, and he does not have to do much work, but the needs of his superiors must be met by learning.

"I won't stop, I have to report to the top, I have arranged all the affairs, I will come back in a few days, Lord Wang should do it himself." Gan Sui didn't give face at all, got in the car and let Hanshui drive away directly.

"Your Excellency...... What about Lord Gan? "The county man arranged everything and hurried over.

"Let's go, this prefect really doesn't get in with oil and salt, I'm afraid this time it's more than lucky." Wang Xianling felt that he was going to suffer a sad face.

"My lord, then should we just do it and keep doing it." The county made a gesture of killing.

"No, absolutely not, how can you hurt people's lives?" Wang Xianling shook his head and refused.

"Don't hurt his life, let's let Da Hei Erhei scare him, maybe if he is scared, he will forget about what happened here."

Wang Xianling thought for a while, "It's okay, but remember to be measured, don't hurt people." ”
