Chapter 24: Bao Qing Disaster Relief
"Don't be busy! At least this official can come out and take a look! It's already much stronger than the dog officials who are shrunk in the yamen. Besides, we're here to save people, not to cause trouble! Tell them not to act rashly. A personable man in Tsing Yi said.
"Oh, Brother Zhan, go down like this, I'm afraid that Brother Zhanqing will come to Luzhou first, and their waterway is not as fast as ours. But unfortunately, it happened to encounter such ghost weather, and the city gate was closed again, and the land route went south! The young man next to the man in Tsing Yi said.
"Such a flood, I'm afraid it's not easy to be a waterway, I hope nothing happens to the little sister!"
Let's say that Bao Qing is on the city gate tower, and he is dizzy for a while, the rain has not stopped, and the people below have nothing to shelter from the wind and rain, nor have they eaten or drunk. I am afraid that if this continues, there will be people who will starve to death.
"Lord Bao, how is this good! Look at these thousands of people starving to death at the gates of the city! We've got to figure it out! Qian Qiang's father Qian Zhutou said.
"Yes, Brother Bao, my father is old and confused! We've got to figure it out! ”
Bao Qing couldn't help but think about it, Bao Qing had also seen floods in his previous life, how did the country rescue at that time? Bao Qingzai thought about it carefully, and after a long time, he said, "Okay! Your dad doesn't care, I'll take care of it! Xiaowen, you go and ask your father for a warrant. Qian Zhutou, in a moment, you will notify all the officials of the yamen and the whole class of officials to arrest quickly, and gather in the central hall of the yamen in an hour. ”
"Good! Lieutenant Bao, we'll follow you! Qian Zhutou said.
"Also, Qian Qiang, you go to inspect the yamen and ask them to send troops to assist." After Bao Qing finished speaking, he greeted the city gate official and asked the city gate official to inform him.
I only heard a gong on the tower of the city gate, and the city gate official shouted on the tower of the city gate: "Everyone listen! Lord Bao is ready for disaster relief! Lord Bao is ready for disaster relief! The gatekeeper shouted several times as he struck the gong.
There was a discussion under the city gate, and many victims kowtowed to the city gate after hearing the words, saying that the great lord of the blue sky was going to be gracious.
"Dog officer, it must be a lie again! For so many days, the county magistrate surnamed Bao has never come out to show his face, and now he actually says that he wants to provide disaster relief, and so many people have died. ”
"Zhanfei, don't talk nonsense! Maybe the official who was at the gate of the city just now may have been sent out by the Bao County Order to check it! ”
"Brother Zhan, you just like to have fantasies about those dog officials! Now Sister Zhan has been arrested by the dog officer, you still believe them! Zhan Fei said, and the big brother Zhan in his mouth is Zhan Zhao, who is called the Southern Bandit by the people of the rivers and lakes.
Let's say that Bao Qing returned to the yamen, Bao Liuwen invited his father's warrant, and several people gathered together to wait for the county officials to come to discuss the matter. But after waiting for a long time, there were not a few people!
At the beginning, Bao Qing thought that everyone was like him, it was raining outside, and it was inconvenient to come. How do you know that if you just grab a small official and ask, then you know that it turns out that people don't bird him, the new county lieutenant.
Bao Qing couldn't help but get angry and asked, "Could it be that the warrant of the county also doesn't move them?" ”
"Lord Bao, in fact, Bao Zhixian has never restrained the officials below before, and the officials below have their own relationships and ways, so it's not good to be too offended. So they usually take care of themselves, this matter, Master Zhuang knows best, do you want to ask him? "A little official kindly mentioned it.
Bao Qing was even more angry after hearing this, the news of this disaster relief has been sent out by himself, can he still take it back? No matter who it is, how big the background is, in this long-term county, can't you handle the other party even if you are a county lieutenant?
Bao Qing is indeed a novice in officialdom, and this long-term county forces Bao Zhi County to pretend to be confused every day, but it is really a tiger's den in Longtan.
In the west of the county seat, there is a big house. The gate of this house is unusually tall, and it looks majestic from the outside. There are two words written on it: Li Fu.
"Uncle Li, this new county lieutenant doesn't know which tendon has a problem, he actually wants disaster relief, and he sent someone to invite us to Yamen to discuss major matters. Hehe, ridiculous! A chubby, meaty-faced man, drinking a drink, laughed as he hugged a woman.
"Master Qin, you too! It's raining so hard outside, and there are so many victims, why don't you get busy with business, hide here and drink some kind of flower wine. "This is Li Jiujin, the head of the Li family.
"You also said, it's raining hard outside, how can I get out! Let's see how this bag of county lieutenants is disposed of, haha! Master Qin said with a smile.
Bao Qing waited in the yamen for a long time, and what he was waiting for was some small officials. Bao Qing was furious and called Qian to catch his head.
"You take my seal letter and bring all the archers and catchers in this county, Qian Qiang, you go to ask the horse to inspect in my name, and say that if he doesn't come, I will open the city gate and let all the victims go to him to inspect the yamen." Bao Qing said.
"My lord, what are you?" Qian Zhutou secretly felt that something was wrong.
"Not going yet? It's a big deal that this county lieutenant is not right, as long as I am in charge for one day, this matter will be managed! Bao Qing shouted.
In about half an hour, Qian Zhutou brought about fifty archers and three classes of catchers, a total of more than 100 people. The rain outside has long drenched everyone. Seeing this, Bao Qing knew that if he didn't make up his mind at this time, he was afraid that this disaster relief talk would really become empty words.
Bao Qing came to the outside of the middle hall of the yamen, faced the rain, and said to the archers and catchers below: "Everyone, since I Bao Qing took office, I have never invited the brothers to drink, and this is also to blame for my foolish behavior. However, I would like to say that I have to trouble you again now. I believe that when you came, you saw thousands of people outside. They need our help. ”
"Lord County Lieutenant, don't say it, my family is from Qili Village, all of them have been affected by the disaster, and they are still outside the city. It's hard for me to bring my parents in, and many of my relatives are outside. What do you say, we'll do it. ”
"Yes, we're going to do it with the county lieutenant! No one in this county cares about us people. I didn't expect the county lieutenant to think of the victims. ”
Bao Qing was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this catch is okay, it is basically from the county seat. But these archers are basically transferred from various villages to be stationed in this city. At the beginning, I was afraid that others would not be willing to follow me to endure hardships, but I didn't expect that before my ideological and political offensive was launched, the big guys would follow me.
Bao Qing continued: "Okay! Anyone who follows me to do it is my brother, and afterwards, each person will be rewarded with ten yuan. ”
When Bao Qing said this, the catcher behind him shouted happily, and the money catcher couldn't help frowning and scolded loudly: "You bastards, you know money with your eyes, didn't your parents give birth to it?" Look what it's like out there! ”
Bao Qing touched the rain on his face, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "All the catchers quickly listen to the order of Qian Catch, divide into ten teams, and go to invite me to invite the Yamen Zhucao Affairs and officials of all sizes to come here to discuss matters, if you don't come, tie me up!" I'm going to ask the Lord Bookkeeper personally. ”
Bao Qing returned to the middle hall, Xiao Cui saw that Bao Qing was drenched all over, and hurriedly brought a bowl of ginger soup. Bao Liuwen on the side saw it and hurriedly snatched it over. looked at Xiao Cui with a strange face, and wondered when a maid came to the yamen.
When Zhu Daniu saw it, he hurriedly said: "Xiaocui, go, go and see your housewife, the future housemother!" ”
That Xiaocui was also well-behaved, and hurriedly ran over, and actually gave a salute, and called out crisply: "Xiaocui, I've seen the master's mother!" ”
When Bao Liuwen heard this, her face flushed, her heart was extremely happy, and she didn't refuse in her mouth, so she hurriedly beckoned Xiaocui to come over, and actually rewarded the carved wooden hairpin, and Bao Qing was stunned for a moment.
"Big Niu, after opening the city gate in a while, you hurry home and take a look, and take your parents to the city, don't rub it in."
"Master Bao, the horse inspection has arrived!" There are officials who preach.
Sure enough, a burly middle-aged man with a short beard walked in with his whole body [***]. I saw him look around and said, "You have to invite me here, why isn't Bao Zhixian here?" ”
"I invited you to inspect the horse, and the contempt is the newly appointed county lieutenant, and I haven't had time to visit the horse inspector yet." Bao Qing said.
"No more nonsense, I hate you most of all this nonsense. Since you invited me, but you want to use soldiers? ”
"That's right! Now there are too many people outside, I am ready to provide disaster relief, and I have to rely on them to maintain order! ”
"Hey, the magistrate doesn't care, you're here for disaster relief? Let me ask you, Lieutenant Bao, do you have money and food? What do you use for disaster relief? Ma Patrol sneered.
"Isn't there any grain in this granary?" Bao Qing was a little confused, and secretly regretted that he was too reckless. But thinking about it on the other hand, if this disaster relief was so easy, I am afraid that Baozhi County would have done it a long time ago.
"You dare to open the granary? Unless you go to the court and get permission. But this time, I am afraid that the victims will die early. ”
"Then I'll buy food, it's okay!" Bao Qing thought that there was really no way, so he spent money to buy it.
"Buying grain? Look who sells it to you, don't hoard grain now, wait for the price and sell it! In this way, I won't talk to you, if you can invite the Qin master book out, I will lend you two hundred soldiers for disaster relief. Ma Patrol said.
"Well, it's a deal! Horse inspection, please wait for half an hour. I'm going to please! Bao Qing said.
"By the way, a reminder! Then Master Qin will be afraid that he is drinking in the Li family! ”
"The Li family?" Bao Qing was a little surprised, this Li family sounded a little familiar, "Which Li family?" ”
"Which one else? It's the Li Jiujin family who specializes in river engineering! ”
"Li Jiujin?" Bao Qing's nerves were suddenly touched.
