Chapter 112: The Flood
In the blink of an eye, some days passed.
As the corrupt officials paid the fines happily, after all the people who took the initiative to pay the fines were paid, He Yan began to arrest those who did not take the initiative to pay.
Those who were forced to have insufficient money in their hands and did not pay the fines all sold their houses and land, and they had to pay the fines for borrowing money.
And those who really can't pay it will be punished according to the law, and those who should be dismissed will be dismissed, those who should be exiled will be exiled, and those who should be killed will be killed.
As long as those who dare to collude with salt lords and sell illegal salt, as long as they dare to accept bribes and exploit salt, they will be fined if they are caught, and those who cannot pay them will be punished.
The atmosphere of the two Huai salt affairs was upright for a while.
And He Yan did this, so he was naturally hated by them.
In the court, countless people racked their brains to think of crimes, and for a while, they participated in He Yan's performance, and they were sent to Qianlong's imperial case like snowflakes.
However, because He Yan is so clean, in the one year that he was in the salt courtyard, in addition to collecting some eggs or something, he has been to Xiao Qinhuai a few times, and the charges they have participated in can only be these two, as well as being a good fortune, losing official body and the like.
Qianlong was very satisfied with the current situation, not only did not deal with it, but also issued an order to praise: "The two Huai salt affairs supervision of the imperial history of Akzhan, although there are small mistakes, but the management of the two Huai salt affairs has been fruitful, and now the title of governor of Akzhan is now rewarded, and I hope to be more diligent in the future and manage the two Huai salt affairs." β
After receiving the holy decree, He Yan smiled and said, "Master He, what do you think about this matter?" β
Master He said: "Adults should not be taken lightly, if there is a chance, they will not give up." β
He Yan said: "That's no way, I said when I rectified those salt officials, since I can't turn around anymore and I'm trapped inside, let's move forward." β
"At least we'll come here first."
Since then, He Yan's blue top has become the red top of coral.
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.
On this day, Mu Xing'a, the governor of Caoyun, suddenly came to look for He Yan.
The two of them found a quiet bathhouse and went to take a bath together.
Mu Xing'a told He Yan that he had been transferred to Xinjiang to serve as an Ili general.
He Yan listened and asked, "The order has come down?" β
Mu Xing'a was not very interested and said: "Not yet, but I have asked Lord Gui, and the head has already been decided." β
"Now, wait for the will."
He Yan said: "General Yili, a dignified product, get on the horse and the army, get off the horse and manage the people, from now on, the whole of Xinjiang will be up to you, it's okay." β
Mu Xing'a said: "Junmen, the mark is worried about you." β
"I talked to those old fellows in private...... After these orders, the ones who were transferred were all our old people. β
"When I go to Ili, there will be no one around you."
"They all said that it was He Shen who was playing around on it."
"That kid isn't as tall as a wax head, and he has a lot of intestines."
"Lord Junmen, I don't think he has a good intention."
He Yan said: "You don't have to discuss these words. β
"Maybe that's a good thing."
Mu Xing'a said: "What do you say? β
He Yan said: "You have all been transferred, and now so many people hate me, if I really fall that day, maybe this is the way back left for me by the emperor." β
"For example, send me to Ili, as long as you are here, who can touch me."
"We'll be reunited."
When Mu Xing'a heard this, he thought for a while and said, "If this is really what you say, then I am relieved." β
He Yan said: "Don't worry, I'm fine." β
Then, a few days later, it began to rain in Yangzhou for several days.
He Yan knew that there would be a big flood this year, so he summoned Song Governor, Ma Dechang, Wang Chaozong, and Bao Yi'an to come over.
When Qianlong was in Yangzhou, he said that every summer, what he was most worried about was the floods in the south.
specially told He Yandao: "Although you are a salt official, you also use more care about the things on the river and help me keep an eye on them." β
The matter of this river was originally because He Yan was the biggest official in Yangzhou, although he was not responsible, he had to care, and he was in Yangzhou, so he couldn't drown himself.
With Qianlong's words, then he has to take care of it even more.
When the four of them arrived, He Yan said, "What do you think of this year's heavy rain?" β
"If it keeps going like this, will there be a danger of the levee bursting?"
Song Zhifu said: "My lord, we can't predict this. β
"But this year, as in previous years, we have dredged the river, and the rest is only to see the will of God."
"If there is going to be a flood, then the only time has come to strengthen the levees."
He Yan said: "What is the current situation of the embankment?" β
"If it's really flooding, can you withstand it?"
Song Zhifu said: "The embankment is indeed some years old now, and it is really hard to say whether it can withstand it." β
He Yan said: "The river is not a trivial matter, if it is really a big water, the embankment must not be able to withstand it, then the loss of Yangzhou City will be great." β
"So I decided, reinforce the levee now, is it interesting to you?"
Wang Chaozong said: "My lord is right. β
"But I still have to pay back the deficit money this year, and I don't have enough money."
He Yan said: "If the dam is repaired, will the deficit not be up?" β
Wang Chaozong said: "It's possible. β
He Yan said: "Then let's do it, you guys get ready." β
"If there is a real crisis and it needs to be reinforced, you have to be able to take it as soon as possible."
"When the time comes, I will play the emperor again about the silver."
The four of them stood up and said, "Listen to all the adults." β
More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Originally, Yangzhou was fine, but it was dawn that morning, and the people guarding the water level came to report, and the golden dam suddenly swollen in the river.
As soon as He Yan heard this, he went to check. jΓΊjΓΓ‘?y.?? m
When they arrived at the embankment, the Song Governor's Mansion received the news and it happened to arrive.
He Yan looked at the river and said, "Governor Song, hurry up and gather people to strengthen the embankment." β
"I'll look elsewhere."
"Yes." As soon as the prefect of Song heard this, he went to arrange it.
Not long after He Yan returned to the house, he received a message from Hongze Lake, and it turned out that the reason why the river would rise sharply was because the cofferdam of Hongze Lake had burst.
As soon as He Yan heard it, he wrote it and asked the emperor for the earthquake disaster money, and used a part to fill the deficit in the transportation warehouse, and the silver that had not yet been sent out was the earthquake disaster money, and the fold that was made up after the autumn of the crime was sent out.
Since this time it was after the autumn to make up for the deficit in the transportation depot, there was no shortage of silver for flood control this time, so everyone just did it step by step.
Then for a period of time, Yangzhou spent time in flood fighting.
After He Yan's excerpt was sent back, the emperor really approved He Yan's proposal.
And because of He Yan's twists and turns, this time the emperor did not let the salt merchants pay for the disaster relief of Hongze Lake.
It can be said that Yangzhou can survive the flood smoothly this time.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
