Dayu has a vast territory, since the Tai-Zu Emperor, it has lasted for more than 300 years, and it has long been a strong country.

Rong Tang went from Yujing to the south of the Yangtze River, and saw the Danxia landform with layers of mountains and stone forests, and also saw the grassland full of vitality and plains.

Then go around Huizhou, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and temporarily live in Suzhou, where the water is rippling and the smoke is shrouded.

When the convoy passed through the official road, all he saw were the beautiful scenery and the people living in peace in Dayu mountains and rivers, and all the unseemly and smack-making tragedies and darkness were hidden under the loess and prisons, and they did not see the light of day.

Now that Suzhou Mansion has been washed by heavy rain, Su Huaijing took Rong Tang out of Lin Garden, and saw the city walls and houses washed away by the flood.

Collapsed houses and broken roofs are everywhere.

As soon as the rain stopped, the government sent people to clean the road, but they still saw frozen cats and dogs in the corners, and even babies and the elderly wrapped in straw mats.

The white porridge boiled in Lin Yuan tasted very good, but Rong Tang walked all the way down, only to feel that his spleen and stomach had been surging and boiling.

He knew that people would die, and it was inevitable, and no matter how much preparation work was made, how many shelters were opened for the victims to take refuge in the next seven days, and how many doctors and security personnel were urgently recruited, it was still impossible to save everyone.

Rong Tang's hands and feet were uncontrollably cold, all the fresh emotions aroused by Su Huaijing in the early morning disappeared without a trace, there was still water on the road, he walked to avoid puddles, and felt that the world was turning with every step.

Su Huaijing held his hand firmly, and would say something to him every time he crossed the road.

"The situation was much better than expected, and at first it was thought that two to three percent of the people in Suzhou would be affected, about 130,000 people, and according to the recorded flood records, about 130 people would be killed or missing. However, according to statistics from the county government reports yesterday, 53 people died and 39 people were missing in Suzhou Prefecture. ”

The most prosperous area of Jiangnan has become devastated and unusually wet and heavy, and the long street is full of high soup kitchens, and you can see long queues of victims waiting for relief at intervals.

The grain store reopened, and the people who had enough spare energy squeezed their heads one by one to stock up more rations for their relatives at home to prevent the recurrence of disasters.

Along the streets and alleys, the rooftops that had been broken by the rainstorm were crawling young men who were mending with tiles and wooden planks.

After the natural disaster, it was the tens of millions of ordinary people who stood under the scorching sun of the long summer and re-inspired the courage to survive.

Su Huaijing laughed and turned his head to look at Rong Tang: "Tangtang, we have reduced the loss by half." ”

The palm-sized sparrows stood in rows on the rooftop trees, looking at the busy people in the city with bean-sized eyes. And Su Huaijing looked at Rong Tang, his eyebrows and eyes were so gentle that he was about to enter the painting: "So you see, we are really great." ”

We did our best to save as many people as we could.

Whether or not to be gratefully sung about, at least the land under your feet and the sun above you remember.

So don't feel guilty, you've done enough.

Su Huaijing took Rong Tang's hand and slowly led him through this land of disasters.

-

Due to the stockpiling of grain in advance, it was organized immediately after the rainstorm

There was no case of people starving to death after the flood in Suzhou, but there were still some small-scale scrambles for food, but fortunately, the officers and men were well-trained and would stop it in time.

Sheng Chengming and the officials under him, some of them moved to Suzhou Mansion to be in charge, and some of them still stayed in Linyuan.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who has been in Yujing City for 18 years, walked the disaster area and the river embankment every day, and was exposed to the scorching sun, his complexion was much darker, and the whole person became haggard and abnormal.

Sometimes Rong Tang looks at Sheng Chengming, who has been drained of his essence, and then looks at Su Huaijing, who is radiant and radiant by his side day by day, and even sighs that he is worthy of being the villain who occupies the main role, even if he is not favored by God, this face can still be hit wherever he is placed.

And it's the kind that can be quite hit.

In the afternoon of this day, Rong Tang sat under a persimmon tree with green fruits in the courtyard, bored watching the Shuangfu decoction, the villain with a very good face frowned slightly, and listened to Lu Jiaxi talking beside him all the way, and walked in from outside the courtyard.

The moment he saw Rong Tang sitting in the courtyard, Su Huaijing's face changed, he raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling Lu Jiaxi not to talk anymore, and then naturally walked behind Rong Tang and asked softly, "Don't you take a nap?" ”

He has always drunk a bowl of decoction with just the right temperature when he wakes up from a nap in the afternoon, but the medicine has not yet been fried at this time, which shows that it is not the time when Rong Tang should get up normally.

He sat on a pony with a dog's tail in his hand, and drew a circle with salt on the ground to enclose several ants carrying grain.

Rong Tang teased with the grassroots, raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Jiaxi, and replied, "Sleep, wake up early." ”

Then he asked, "Is something wrong, you both have sad faces." ”

In all fairness, Su Huaijing is definitely not a sad face, but Lord Xiao Lu's face is almost wrinkled like a bun, and it is difficult to ignore it.

Su Huaijing originally wanted to hide it, but Rong Tang stared at him directly, he had no choice but to bring over a small Mazha, took Shuangfu's place, and slowly fanned the fire in the medicine furnace with a pu fan.

He said: "It's not a big deal, His Royal Highness has already arranged someone to solve it, Tang Tang doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Rong Tang: "I'm not worried, I'm just curious." ”

Su Huaijing paused for a moment and said, "There is an epidemic in the city. ”

Rong Tang's heart froze, and he began to frown unconsciously.

The great plague will be followed by the great plague, and after surviving the first wave of the flood, there will be countless man-made disasters. They can find a way to reduce the number of people who died due to heavy rain by half, but in this era, there is an epidemic, if it is highly contagious, and now many houses have collapsed and cannot be inhabited, and many shelters have been set up in the city, and all the victims have gathered in them, but if one person is infected, the consequences are unimaginable.

The secret letter that Rong Tang saw in his previous life only mentioned that the death toll of the floods in Jiangnan was hundreds of thousands, but no one could tell the exact number of deaths due to floods and torrential rains, how many died due to epidemics, and how many died in vain due to rebellion.

He asked in a low voice, "Is it serious?" ”

Su Huaijing raised his eyes to look at him and shook his head: "I can't tell, it's an illness I've never seen before." ”

Lu Jiaxi also sat down, and the three of them just formed a circle around the group of ants on the ground, and said: "The epidemic is not the hardest, stay."

Gongzi expected it early in the morning, and asked His Royal Highness to set up an isolation place in the city in advance, and if someone had symptoms, he was pulled over and treated by a doctor, and the rest of the people

The densely populated places are smoked day by day. As I passed by this morning, I heard from an experienced doctor that the number of people infected after the flood was much lower than after the flood in the second year of Keongsho. ()”

"▼()▼『Come to []see ♀ the latest chapter ♀, complete chapter』()"

Xiao Lu also dragged a dog's tail grass and paddled it on the ground in a circle, looking more anxious than the group of ants who couldn't get out: "The disaster relief money has not come down." ”

At this time, it was already June 30, and ten days had passed since the rain stopped, and the rice that Rong Tang and Su Huaijing had stocked up in advance, plus the emergency food in Suzhou Mansion, was almost clean.

Not to mention that the disaster relief money is not only used to buy grain, so many houses have collapsed in Jiangnan, destroying a season's crops, if the imperial court does not send the silver down, the poor people are afraid that they will really starve to death.

Rong Tang was silent for a while, because he knew that this would inevitably happen.

Even in the first two lives, Lu Junxian, the governor of Jiangnan, concealed the disaster, and it was not until the beginning of July that some displaced people who fled due to the flood gathered outside Yujing City, and the disaster in Jiangnan was known to Emperor Renshou.

After that, the first thing he did was not to send a messenger to come to the disaster, but to secretly order Wu Kangbo to lead the army to expel the displaced people outside the city.

As for the time when the court had quarreled over the truth or falsehood of the flood, Emperor Renshou sent his ministers to personally inspect the disaster in Jiangnan and then return to Beijing to report the disaster relief money, and the disaster relief money was allocated from the household department to be transported to the southbound convoy, it was already half of July.

Not to mention that the national treasury is not abundant, and the disaster relief money allocated is not enough at all.

But in this life, there is no Lu Junxian to conceal the report, the Jiangnan disaster has been reported by the second prince's cronies early, it stands to reason that the credibility should be quite large, Rong Tang doesn't know why there is still no news.

After the soup was fried enough, Su Huaijing took it down, poured it into a bowl to cool, turned his head and glanced at Lu Jiaxi, and then looked at Rong Tang: "Tang Tang doesn't know why the disaster relief money has not come down?" ”

Rong Tang was stunned for a moment and shook his head honestly: "I don't know." ”

He may have been in a lot of pain lately, and his brain is a little wooden, and he really can't think of it for a while.

Su Huaijing smiled lightly and replied very partially: "Because Lu Junxian is a protégé of Zhang Gelao." ”

Lu Jiaxi frowned, unable to understand: "What does this have to do with Governor Lu, didn't His Highness put him in prison?" ”

His words were quite innocent but to the point, Rong Tang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted, looking at Su Huaijing quite absurdly, hoping that he would deny his guess.

Su Huaijing smiled as soon as he saw his eyes: "It seems that Tang Tang guessed." ”

Lu Jiaxi looked confused: "What did you guess?" ”

"Jiangnan is rich." Rong Tang gently threw out these four words.

Jiangnan is rich, Lu Junxian sits in the position of governor of Jiangnan, and the oil and water he catches every year must be amazing. And he is Zhang Gelao's protégé, and every year he will be filial to his teacher with a large sum of gold and silver, in exchange for a shelter.

() Disaster relief money is sent out of the household department (),

? [()]?『 Come[]+See the latest chapter+Complete chapter'(),

Resolutely and resolutely put Lu Junxian in prison, strictly speaking, Lu Junxian could not do anything in this flood.

Su Huaijing wanted Lu Junxian to be dismissed, but Zhang Ge Lao wanted to bite the fat of Jiangnan.

It's not that he doesn't save the lives of millions of people, it's just that before the common people, he wants to save his protégé first.

If this disaster relief money arrived in Jiangnan so quickly, wouldn't it prove that the Dayu officials were in their positions and did not do anything, but only needed the prince's presence to solve the disaster?

Regardless of whether Lu Junxian had been charged with corruption or other crimes before, he would inevitably roll down from the position of governor of Jiangnan.

Elder Zhang Ge wanted to protect him first, and then deal with the disaster relief silver.

As for how to insure? It's too simple, it happens to be his own grandson who happens to be in Jiangnan, as long as Sheng Chengming doesn't report and expose it, Lu Junxian has always been a member of the Second Prince's Party.

In any way, this is beneficial to Sheng Chengming.

He gained a good reputation, achieved political achievements, kept his high office, and secured his financial resources for his future actions.

It will be interesting to see if Sheng Chengming will reach a consensus with his grandfather.

Rong Tang looked at Su Huaijing, there was a chill in his heart, he didn't speak, just looked at Su Huaijing quietly.

The medicine was almost dry, Su Huaijing gave it to him, and said softly without caring too much: "Don't worry about Tangtang, let him think for himself." ”

It is impossible for him to plan everything for Sheng Chengming, and he is not the real adviser of the second prince, whether he can protect Lu Junxian or not, this disaster relief money must arrive in the state capitals of Jiangnan before July 15.

As for Sheng Chengming's choice now, it will only affect his future fate, and Su Huaijing doesn't care.

Rong Tang drank the decoction in a sullen voice, Lu Jiaxi thought for a long time in a daze, the dog's tail grass fell to the ground, cut through the circle of salt, and said a little confused: "But this is not something that Zhang Ge wants to protect or not, senior brothers, they are already on the way, and they can't be protected if they want to." ”

Rong Tang was slightly stunned, swallowed the medicine and looked up at Lu Jiaxi, and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"Brother Ke and Master Mu," Lu Jiaxi said, "they set out from the capital in early June, encountered heavy rain on the way, and stopped in Huizhou nearby, and after relocating the victims there, they rushed to Hangzhou, and the day will probably arrive tomorrow afternoon." ”

The ants that circled on the ground finally found an exit, and they all carried the food and crawled out along the gap.

Rong Tang looked down at the gap and fell into a moment of confusion.

Didn't the butterfly effect dodge?

In his previous life, he was found out by Mu Jingxu, and he was told to Rong Tang by Ke Hongxue, the secret he planned to use to blackmail Lu Junxian, and they still had to check it in this life?

Lu Junxian, in the eighth year of Yuanxing, entered the Hanlin Academy as a compiler, and the reason why he rose all the way to the governor of Jiangnan was because he had done a great thing for Emperor Renshou.

The human head on the banner of Emperor Renshou's "uprising" was cut off and hung by Lu Junxian himself as his determination to be loyal to the new emperor.

Ironically, he is actually the unknown uncle of the first three princes.!
