Chapter 600: Greeting each other in the middle of the road

"Ahh

Yu Ziye sneezed again on the carriage, so that his snot was thrown out two feet away, and then he hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief.

"This kind of errand is simply a sin."

In the midst of muttering, Yu Ziye couldn't help but think, how could Chu Xiang, an old man, stand it?

As the saying goes, the old man is sad to survive the winter, not only because the people's homes will have a shortage of food in the winter, but also because the old people are not resistant to freezing.

A little farther away from Yu Ziye's carriage, Chu Hang did not despise Yu Ziye along with other local officials, but looked up at the sky.

Over the years, Chu Hang has actually been more sensitive to some breaths, and it is especially obvious here.

As the saying goes, the snow is a good year, and this winter, in many places in Hexi Province that Chu Hang has visited, there is very little rain and snow.

Water vapor, not enough!

On the same day, after arranging the work of Changchang County, Chu Hang returned to the Sizhou Prefecture Government Office to rest temporarily, and also drafted the Shangshu Chapter.

Sizhou, as a place with abundant water in Hexi Province, is also not optimistic after this arrival, so you can imagine how serious the situation is in other places.

It's okay to say that people have a drinking water problem, but the irrigation problem is very big.

Early the next morning, Chu Hang immediately prepared to leave, he wanted to rush directly to Dengzhou, and naturally there were officials who went to knock on Yu Ziye's door early in the morning.

"Bang bang."

"Lord Yu, are you up, please prepare quickly, I said yesterday, we have to go to Dengzhou immediately!"

Yu Ziye's whole person was wrapped in the quilt, listening to the knock on the door outside was unbearable, it was not dawn this day, and the day of the court meeting in the capital was to occasionally get up early in the morning, and came to these two areas, but it was early and greedy every day

"Don't knock! The official will get up immediately! ”

Yu Ziye drank a word, reluctantly lifted the quilt, and suddenly felt a chill hit, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble, and immediately wrapped the quilt again.

"Lord Yu, it's time to get up, otherwise you won't be able to make it to the post station, and you will have to camp outside that night!"

Chu Hang's voice came from outside, and Yu Ziye inside was so frightened that he jumped up from the bed with a spirit.

"Yes, yes, the lower officials will get up immediately!"

Chu Hang outside nodded.

"The old man is waiting for Lord Yu to have breakfast in the dining hall, don't let the old man wait for a long time."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After Chu Hang finished speaking, he left directly, and he just came over and shouted.

Yu Ziye in it dared to pose any score in the face of Chu Hang alone, this would be so frightened is energetic, and hurriedly dressed, that is called a vigorous and resolute action.

The two officials outside listened to the movement inside, and looked at each other and secretly smiled.

A few days later, I don't know who leaked the news, it is more likely that the Lingdong people in Sizhou rushed back first, on the official road outside Dengzhou City, the people of Dengzhou and local officials who had already received the news welcomed Chu Lao Xiangguo to come.

The chariot and horse procession of Chu Hang and his party had not yet approached Dengzhou City, and there was already an uproar in the distance.

"There, there is an official errand, it must be Chu Xiang's team!" "Chu Xiangguo is here!"

The local officials in Dengzhou walked forward first, and the people everywhere also wanted to follow, but there were officials to maintain order.

Chu Hang had a topographic map spread out on his knees when he was in the car, and after many years, he had already asked Pei Changtian, Mai Lingfei and others to check the changes everywhere.

But it didn't take long for Chu Hang to notice that there was some commotion outside, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, he shouldn't have arrived in Dengzhou City yet, right?

At this moment, an official rushed to the carriage.

"Chu Xiang, the officials of Dengzhou and the people of Dengzhou in front of you are welcome to go out of the city and cross the road!"

Chu Hang was slightly surprised, and directly opened the curtain in front of him to look, and sure enough, he saw many people in front of him.

"Chu Xiang, I've been waiting for a long time-" "Chu Xiang, it's good for you to come-"

"Chu Xiang, we Lingdong people all remember your kindness!" "Master Chu, I saw you back then—"

"Xiangye, there's a shoulder wine here—"

As the carriage and horse procession continued to move forward, there was a noisy and jubilant scene in front of the car, which also made the accompanying officials in the team frightened.

In the crowd of people in Dengzhou, Yi Shuyuan patted the folding fan and watched this scene, and Qi Zhongbin beside him couldn't help nodding and stroking his beard, while in other places, Pei Changtian and Mai Lingfei were naturally in the crowd.

Of course, before this, Yi Shuyuan had already spoken a lot of books in various places in Lingdong and Hexi, and the content was the disaster relief back then.

At the front of the convoy over there, Chu Hang simply got out of the carriage and walked forward with the Dengzhou officials, and the people around him were even more enthusiastic, but they were not crowded over.

"Ladies and gentlemen in Lingdong, Chu thank you very much!"

Chu Hang bowed his hand to the front, and also took this opportunity to directly begin to understand the situation in Dengzhou and even the entire Lingdong.

When he learned that the drought-resistant canal was still quite effective and that the situation in Lingdong was better than expected, Chu Hang looked up at the people around him again, and his footsteps couldn't help but stop.

"Chu knows that the drought affects the harvest, and everyone's life is difficult, but many prefectures in Hexi Province had no harvest last year or even the year before that, and the situation there is really grim."

As Chu Hang's words spread, the officials and people near the official road gradually quieted down.

Although this old Xiangguo is old, his voice seems to be particularly loud at this moment, and it can be transmitted far and wide, even if it is inaudible from afar, there are many people who relay it on his behalf.

"Chu also has a reluctant request - when there was a problem in Lingdong, Dayong worked together, and all parties came to help - now the drought in Hexi Road is serious, and even the pond is cracked and difficult to store water, and water for people and animals has become a problem."

Chu Hang paused before continuing to speak.

"We have a drought-resistant canal in Lingdong, which can control the drought to a certain extent, but Hexi does not, if the old man wants to let Hexi open up a drought-resistant canal and connect with Lingdong, it may have some impact on this place, but it can save countless lives."

Chu Hang's voice fell, and the people around him didn't make any sound, and many people looked at each other.

The people who come here include merchants from all walks of life and ordinary people, landlords and officials, and Confucian scholars, but they can probably understand the meaning of Chu Xiang.

"Rest assured, Chu will also ensure the food supply of the two states, and will also suppress food prices, and Hexi has always had abundant rain, if the water vapor returns there, even the drought-resistant canal can immediately benefit Lingdong!"

Yi Shuyuan stood at the back of the crowd, probably able to sense some subtle emotions in the crowd, he smiled slightly, folded his fan and spread out some half-covered faces, and a rough voice immediately shouted.

"Support Chu Xiang - when we were in trouble in Lingdong, the world came to our aid, and Hexi was adjacent to us, how could we not help——"

Qi Zhongbin looked at the master beside him in astonishment, Yi Shuyuan just smiled narrowly, and when he drove it, someone in the crowd immediately responded.

"That's right, Lingdong is in trouble, and we can help others-" "We believe in Chu Xiang-"

"Yes, I believe Chu Xiang-"

The atmosphere of the crowd began to warm up again, and Chu Hang also showed a smile on his face, he fought against disasters and gave relief, or many government decrees, and always emphasized that one attack was the first, if he couldn't work together, it would be half the effort.

Then the procession moved forward, and the more they went to the front, the more people there were, and the more noisy the voices became.

Yu Ziye sat in the carriage and did not get down, from time to time he lifted the curtain to look outside, all the way from far from Dengzhou City, until he entered Dengzhou City, the people and officials who came to greet him did not know how many.

Yu Ziye even thinks that there are so many people in the entire Dengzhou City?

However, the number of people in Dengzhou City must be a lot, but some of Yu Ziye's thoughts are also correct, it is true that it is not just Dengzhou people who come.

In front of the Zhenjun Temple outside Dengzhou City, Chen Han, who has now transformed into an old man, looked at the people of Lingdong who were welcomed by the endless roads in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even after so many years, Chu Xiang is still very respected in Lingdong, especially at this critical juncture, Chu Xiang's coming is even more exciting.

At the Dengzhou Mansion that night, after simply picking up the wind and washing the dust, Yu Ziye stayed at the official office early.

After all, Dengzhou is a rich land, and the conditions in the official office are much better, so at the request of Yu Ziye, he really lit a brazier for him to make his house warm.

Yu Ziye didn't sleep, he set up the four treasures of the study room in front of the table, preparing to write the chapter, as the supervisor of the imperial history, he also had to report to the emperor regularly.

wrote a long paragraph according to the script, and then Yu Ziye's pen stopped, and after hesitating for a while, he continued to write:

Chu Xiang Dengzhou Dengzhou, the pomp was quite large, Dengzhou and even Lingdong officials from all over the country got the news in advance, came to meet outside the city, rich businessmen and even the common people also need to go out of the city, and welcome the first assistant of the imperial court to come to the disaster relief.

When stating the content, I changed a few words slightly, and the meaning of the music suddenly became a little strange.

"Woohoo. Woohoo"

A strange wind suddenly rose in the room, blowing out the oil lamp in front of the table, which also shocked Yu Ziye.

From light to darkness, Yu Ziye suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and there was an inexplicable sense of fear.

"Hmph, traitorous villain, sooner or later you won't have a good death!"

A voice suddenly appeared, Yu Ziye shook his body and looked to the side, and a man in a wide robe and long sleeves holding a gold pen looked at him coldly.

The next moment, the tip of the pen pointed directly at Yu Ziye's face, swiping from bottom to top.

"Ahh

The painful feeling made Yu Ziye let out a heart-rending scream.

"Uhh

Yu Ziye woke up suddenly, but found that he had just fallen asleep on the table, and then looked at the side, where was there a man with a pen, and the oil lamp was burning, but the piece he had just written seemed to have been painted a little bit by him.
