Chapter 334: The Difference Between Prevention and Disaster Relief
Xingwangfu was in a commotion.
Tang Yin first summoned Zhu Chen, the head of the palace guard of honor, and asked him to summon the guards and craftsmen to stand by, and then asked Luo Sheng, the deputy of the honor guard, to take his son Luo An and others to rush to the river embankment outside the city to monitor the water level, and then he arranged for Lu Song to prepare for the car and go directly to the west courtyard to find Zhu Hao.
Tang Yin knocked on the door in a hurry, and the movement was so loud that Jing Hong was so frightened that he almost bounced off the couch.
"Huh?"
Jing Hong opened his sleepy eyes and looked around in horror, like a frightened fawn.
Zhu Hao went out of the room to open the courtyard door, and saw Tang Yin's face red under the torch, and when he saw Zhu Hao, he hurriedly said: "Go, follow me to the embankment, and talk about it on the way." ”
was about to reach out to grab Zhu Hao's hand, but found that Zhu Hao took a step back to avoid it.
"You?"
Tang Yin was puzzled.
Zhu Hao behaved calmly and asked, "Is Hong Feng really here?" ”
"Hong Feng?"
Tang Yin's eyes were full of puzzlement.
"It's the peak of what can be achieved when a flood crosses, and it can also be said to be the maximum flow...... Ah no, at this point in time, the flood peak should not have arrived, is the Han water rising very much? Zhu Hao asked again.
Tang Yin said: "What do you ask when you know everything?" King Xing asked me to take you up the river embankment together, I presented the river map you drew to King Xing, Yuan Changshi took it to see the people of the state government, and organized people to protect the river embankment overnight, and it may be too late to raise it now! ”
Zhu Hao shook his head: "I can't help when I go, and I can't help it, and I will inevitably be in a hurry to raise it temporarily, so I'll ask here, are sandbags ready?" ”
Tang Yin was a little speechless.
Before, you didn't know that the prophet would suffer a major flood in the area, and no one took your warning seriously, but now that the flood is coming, you have calmed down?
Look at you like this, you don't want to go up to the river embankment to help me!
"What does King Xing mean...... Let's take people to the section of the river adjacent to Wangtian, where the terrain is relatively high, and as long as the embankment is not broken, the embankment is safe......"
Tang Yin thought that Zhu Hao was worried about his own safety, so he hurriedly explained.
Zhu Hao was unmoved, and said: "I have checked the situation of the Anlu section of the Han River, the embankment close to the Wangtian of Xingwangfu has been strengthened in ordinary times, and it is unlikely that the embankment will collapse, but the problem is that there is no point in Xingwangfu guarding this section of the embankment now, even if something happens, the loss of property is also within the acceptable range...... Xingwangfu must rely on this early warning and rush to repair the river embankment to strive for fame and reputation among the government and the opposition. ”
Hearing Zhu Hao talking, Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully but not getting the point.
"What do you say...... Why? ”
Tang Yin's mind was a mess.
Zhu Hao said: "I mean...... You can directly take people to protect those low-lying embankments that are in disrepair and easy to burst, I will go home first, find my mother, contact the merchants in the city, and then the merchants will inform the gentry, and the gentry will send people to the villages to report the news...... The most important thing now is to warn the people who are still asleep in the Zhuangzi outside the city, isn't it? ”
Tang Yin thought about it.
It seems like that's the case.
The problem is that the people outside the city do not know that the flood is coming, if the people outside the city do not organize the evacuation this night, tomorrow the flood will break down which section of the embankment, resulting in a large number of villages being flooded, and countless casualties...... That's a big problem.
"But King Xing's side ......"
"King Xing's opinion is to protect the river embankment around his field first, and his thoughts are limited to minimizing his own losses, but my idea is to use this flood to accumulate contacts and prestige for King Xing...... Who do you listen to? ”
Zhu Hao's question was very straightforward.
You are listening to King Xing, so take people to guard the embankment near the fields of King Xing's mansion, listen to me, and go to repair those dangerous embankments, you can only choose one of the two!
Tang Yin really wanted to say, why did you kid let me listen to you?
Can you take care of something happening?
But he had already summed up his experience, and if he didn't listen to Zhu Hao's opinion, he would definitely suffer in the end.
"Someone!"
Tang Yin made a decision immediately, and he really had the demeanor of a general.
Immediately, a guard came over and saluted: "Sir, is there something wrong with you?" ”
Tang Yin shouted: "You hurry up and inform His Royal Highness King Xing, just say that I, Tang Yin, want to go against his will for the time being, and rush to repair the damaged section of the river that has fallen into disrepair all year round, and the embankment near the fields of King Xing's Mansion must be put aside first......"
"Huh?"
The guards were shocked.
The staff hired by the palace did not take care of their own property first, and went to ensure the safety of the local people first? Are you still so upright and bright looking for me to report to King Xing?
"Report it truthfully, and let Zhu Weizheng come to see me, and talk about it on the way ...... something."
After saying that, Tang Yin turned around and left, remembered something after walking a few steps, turned around and ordered, "Zhu Hao, you hurry home and inform Lingtang, King Xing has no errand to ask you!" ”
……
……
Tang Yin listened to Zhu Hao's advice and made his own opinion, while leading the people of Xingwangfu to rush to repair the section of the river that was seriously damaged by the Han River, and at the same time sent Zhu Hao to inform the people outside the city to evacuate.
Anluzhou City became lively because of the sudden warning of Xingwangfu.
Here Yuan Zonggao went to see Zhang Yezheng, and the state government's approach made him very angry, because the other party obviously treated him coldly, and he waited for half an hour to see Zhang Yezheng.
"Yuan Changshi, you are just a subordinate official of the Xingwang Mansion, and your one-third of an acre of land is not in the state and county yamen."
Zhang Yezheng belongs to the worries of the king, since he was entrusted by the traitor to monitor and guard against the Xingwang Mansion, when he saw someone from the Xingwang Mansion, he naturally would not give a good face.
Yuan Zonggao said: "The old man didn't want to ask about local affairs, but the palace sent someone to find out that the water level of the Han River has skyrocketed tonight, and I believe that before dawn, the river will overflow the embankment, bringing serious flooding......
"Hahaha......"
Zhang Yezheng laughed, and the staff and subordinate officers next to him also laughed.
"Although Xingwangfu does not interfere in local affairs, if there is a disaster, Yuan Mou will come to inform the state government, isn't it a normal thing? Do you Zhang Zhizhou feel that there are people in the DPRK who support him, and there is a catastrophe in the territory under his jurisdiction, even if he does not act, his official position can be secured? ”
Yuan Zonggao's tone turned cold, "If it is really because of your dereliction of duty and the destruction of life, the Xingwang Mansion will definitely participate in the impeachment of the local government, so that the imperial court will know what you, the parent official of a state, have done in the face of disasters." ”
Zhang Yezheng wanted to argue, but the staff next to him whispered a few words in his ear.
Although Yuan Zonggao didn't know what he said, the possibility of persuasion was very high, indicating that there were still smart people under Zhang Yezheng.
Xingwangfu will not have nothing to do, and send the governor of the palace Shi Laizhou to play in the middle of the night?
As long as you send someone outside the city to investigate, you can know about the flood, and since the Xingwang Mansion said that there is, it is most likely true...... It only depends on whether the state government wants to cooperate with the action of Xingwangfu.
Zhang Yezheng said: "Thank you Yuan Changshi for running late at night, regarding the disaster prevention, this official will discuss it with the local gentry after dawn......
Yuan Zonggao suddenly became angry: "Didn't you hear what the old man said? Now it's burning eyebrows! ”
Zhang Yezheng was extremely indifferent: "Send off guests!" ”
……
……
Yuan Zonggao was driven out of the state government in this way.
It happened so suddenly that he didn't expect it...... Obviously, I'm here to warn, and you know that I'm not laughing, so can I still take it seriously?
When Yuan Zonggao returned to King Xing's mansion, he learned of Tang Yin's "strange" move, and actually went against King Xing's order to repair the dangerous embankment section first.
Yuan Zonggao thought to himself: "Bohu didn't predict in advance that I wouldn't get any help when I went to the state government, so he did it himself, right?" ”
Anyway, Yuan Zonggao went to see King Xing first, but unexpectedly, in the palace study, he saw Zhu Hao, who had returned home and came to see Zhu Youqi with Zhu Niang's intentions.
"Yuan Changshi, you came just in time, what did the state government say?"
Zhu Youqi looked at Yuan Zonggao eagerly.
Yuan Zonggao glanced at Zhu Hao first, very curious why this kid didn't follow Tang Yin to the river embankment, but appeared here, and then he said with a little regret: "The state government doesn't seem to care about the palace warning. ”
Zhu Youqi sighed: "Sure enough. ”
Yuan Zonggao was confused, which meant...... Someone analyzed the situation with King Xing in advance and thought that the local government would not pay attention to the warning of King Xing's mansion?
Zhu Youqi pointed at Zhu Hao: "Zhu Hao, you can tell Yuan Changshi about something." ”
Zhu Hao said: "That's the case, Yuan Changshi, my mother is currently doing a collapsed house business outside the city, and most of the businessmen in the city can be contacted, and when I learned that the flood was coming, I went back to find my mother and my shopkeeper, and then contacted the local businessmen and gentry, so that they could organize people to repair the river embankment, and at the same time send people out of the city to remind the people to move ......"
Yuan Zonggao stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhu Hao's words: "Zhu Hao, these things can be done by waiting for the government...... What do you mean? ”
Zhu Hao's face was calm: "With his understanding of the local Xinzhizhou in his later life, he is the kind of person who would rather wait for the disaster to be organized after the disaster than take the initiative to prevent disasters......"
Yuan Zonggao couldn't help but take a cool breath when he heard this.
If this was before he went to see Zhang Yezheng, he would not believe Zhu Hao's analysis.
But after a trip to the state office, he understood, it seems to be ...... Zhang Yezheng is such a villain.
No matter how good the disaster prevention is, it doesn't take credit after the fact.
On the contrary, they do not take precautions, sit back and wait for disasters to occur, and when disaster relief occurs, there are not only disaster relief funds from the imperial court that can be embezzled, but also to earn political achievements from disaster relief......
Zhu Hao touched Zhang Yezheng's temperament of deceiving officials like Zhang Yezheng very thoroughly.
Zhu Youqi sighed: "This king did not expect that the local government would turn a deaf ear under the warning of the palace, and did not care about the life and death of the people, such an official...... It's time to get rid of the court! ”
Yuan Zonggao finally recognized the reality and took the initiative to ask Zhu Hao: "Then Zhu Hao, if the businessmen come forward, those gentry will ...... Agree, and can contribute money and efforts? ”
Zhu Hao nodded: "The catastrophe is coming, if the local gentry don't even care about their own fields, people and animals, then how can they gain a foothold in the land of Anlu?" Officials are doing disaster relief for political achievements, while the local gentry and common people are trying to find a way to survive and avoid casualties, and the starting point is different. ”
Although Yuan Zonggao didn't want to agree with this statement, he couldn't help but nod.
After all, Zhang Yezheng is a liuguan, and he has no property in Anlu, and a big flood has little impact on him, but the gentry and the people are different.
The land, people, livestock, and goods are all on the land outside the city, and when the flood comes, won't it all be in the soup? At this time, who does not fight to keep their lives and property safe?
If you feel that the early warning of Xingwangfu is false, and everyone doesn't believe it, you can send someone to take a look at the river embankment, and don't send someone to verify it.
