Chapter 052 Heavy rain in Kyoto The Yongding River bursts

The sky was cloudy, the thunder was non-stop, and the rain poured without stopping.

Jia Huan sighed, after coming back from Jiming Temple, it has been half a month! It's still pouring rain every day, and it doesn't look like it stops.

It has been raining heavily for more than half a month, and prices in Kyoto have risen by 50% due to the heavy rain!

When prices just rose a few days ago, Jia Huan told Caixia and Qingwen to buy more food and daily necessities.

It seems that the judgment was right at the time, heavy rain. If it goes on like this, food and other materials will go up! Food and other materials were bought very early, but they were in short supply.

Jia Huan is now worried that if the heavy rain continues like this, there may be flooding.

Once a flood occurs, the victims are everywhere, and the people at the bottom may have to sell their children and daughters to tide over the difficulties. The officials and gentry were not affected and continued to be happy.

Jia Huan sighed, prosper, the people suffered, died, and the people suffered.

On both sides of the Eiding River in Kyoto is a large area of farmland, and when water is needed, water is drawn from the Eiding River for irrigation.

Yongding County will build a dam every year, and the required silver taels will be allocated by the imperial court.

At this time, with the heavy rain for several days, the water level of the Yongding River has been rising, and the water level has come to the warning line.

Some farmers are worried that their fields will be flooded, so they come to the river embankment to inspect them, otherwise they are not at ease.

When the farmers approached the dam, they suddenly heard a boom, boom, boom.

The dam made a muffled sound, and the sound kept coming!

The farmer's face was shocked, and something might have happened.

I saw that a large section of the river embankment had broken down, and the river water rushed fiercely against the farmland, and it was submerged in one fell swoop.

The river was still moving forward fiercely, and in an instant it had flooded a large area of farmland.

The farmer is on the shore. Cry out loud: "Impossible, this is impossible." How could the embankment collapse! The imperial court will cultivate good every year.

Other farmers cried out when they saw their fields flooded. That's a year's worth of food for them, and now there's nothing left.

All the nearby farmers who heard the commotion rushed over, and all of a sudden they were surrounded by people.

The crowd looked at the flooded fields and wept bitterly, and some of them collapsed to the ground, muttering, "It's over, it's all over!" ”

When the river history of Yongding County rushed over, he was also dumbfounded when he looked at the river embankment that had been washed away. The embankment has just been repaired, less than a month. How did it get overwhelmed!

When the farmers saw Heshi coming, they all rushed over and scolded angrily: "Dog official, return my farmland!" The river embankment was washed away as soon as it was repaired, and you corrupt officials will not die well. ”

An old farmer said: "Look, everyone, the embankments are all made of inferior materials, cut corners, and repaired, so they will collapse in one rush!" ”

When Heshi saw a farmer, he dared to suspect them of cutting corners, and scolded angrily: "You dare to talk nonsense, aren't you afraid of eating in prison!" Be careful not to get out of you! ”

The old farmer also let himself out and said, "If you don't cut corners, how can you collapse in one rush!" What do you have a weak heart, and you still threaten me. ”

The history of the river was also blocked for a while, and he was speechless, after all, the river embankment was only repaired for less than a month, and it was washed away! Fools know there's a problem.

"Who dares to talk nonsense here!" A boy dressed up and walked over proudly.

He Shi was overjoyed when he saw this son, and hurriedly walked forward and said, "Liu Gongzi, you are here, these Diao people want to make trouble!" ”

This son's brother is named Liu Yong, and he is the son of the county magistrate of Yongding County. Usually, many things of the county order are entrusted to him to take care of.

When some farmers saw this Liu Yong, they showed frightened expressions and didn't dare to speak out.

Liu Yong glanced at these farmers, and looked down on these mud legs in his heart, and now he dares to make trouble, see how I clean you up! said: "Come on, arrest the farmer who just said he was cutting corners!" ”

The two officials hurriedly stepped forward to pull people. The old farmer looked scared.

After the official grabbed the farmer, Liu waved the whip in his hand and struck at the farmer.

The old farmer was held down and could not move. Liu's whip struck the farmer with a snapping sound.

After the old farmer was whipped a few times, several blood marks appeared on his body, and his mouth let out a miserable scream, which seemed to be in pain.

Liu Yong beat a few whips, and his mood was much more relaxed, and said: "You mud legs, if you dare to bite indiscriminately, you will be killed." ”

Liu Yong was still angry, and kicked over, knocking the old farmer unconscious.

Liu Yong shouted arrogantly: "Who else dares to make trouble, this is the end!" ”

When everyone saw that Liu Yong was so ruthless, they dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and they were angry.

At this time, a showman dressed up and couldn't look at it and said: "Liu Gongzi, don't go too far!" It's normal for a farmer to lose his temper and complain when his field is flooded! ”

Liu Yong looked at it, but he was just a showman, and said, "Oh! You're just a nine-grade talent, do you have a part in speaking here? ”

Seeing Liu Yong being so arrogant, Xiucai said angrily: "You, you, Liu Yong, you are also a scholar who dares to bully the people like this, aren't you afraid that the Holy Court will remove your fame?" ”

Liu Yong laughed and said: "I just hit a few mud legs, what's the fuss, the Holy Court won't care about these little things." It's you, what a name to report! ”

Xiucai's face flushed with anger, and said, "Li Zheng of Mingyu Academy! ”

Liu squinted at it and said angrily: "Oh! Who am I, dare to come forward! No wonder! It's the garbage academy of Mingyu Academy. ”

The surrounding official history, the officials burst into laughter.

Liu teased and said, "Do you know me? Your sworn enemy of Mingyu Academy, Tianxing Academy's eight pins. Weren't you arrogant some time ago? Hurt so many of us! ”

Li Zheng was angry, but he also pressed down his unhappiness and said: "Liu Yong, you are a person who bullies the common people, it is really shameful!" ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "The waste of Mingyu Academy, there is no place for you to speak here." I advise you to go back to Mingyu Academy as soon as possible, don't go against me, don't go against Yongding County! Some are self-aware. ”

Li Zheng said: "As a student of Confucianism and Taoism, he will speak out for injustice, Yongding County does not deal with the collapse of the river embankment, and Jia Huan Jia Zihao of our college is also a person who has justice in mind and speaks for the weak.

In addition, I will explain the reason to our dean and ask him to write to the court. ”

Liu was very annoyed in his heart, and a little Jiupin Xiucai dared to threaten him. said: "You are really a toad playing on the swing, what a big breath." Jia Zihao, a little person is also worth bragging about!

And your dean is also a seven-grade scholar, and my father is a seven-grade county order, leading a county.

We are from the first line of the king of Xining County, are we still afraid of your little Mingyu Academy, it's really funny! ”

The Wang family of Xining County is very powerful in the imperial court, and a Mingyu Academy is not in their eyes. It is like an egg hitting a stone, bringing humiliation on itself.
