Rolled up by his subordinates as emperor Section 86

My heart, which was originally depressed, was now respectfully invited into the house by the porter, and it calmed down a little.

When Master Wang heard the report from the porter, he immediately walked out of the door.

"Lord Wu, it's really hard. But has the water level of the Yellow River changed? Come on, come on, I'll take you to the prefect. ”

Master Wang is very polite to Wu Wen, and this politeness is respect for the Wu family.

Although the people of the world covet the powerful, the people of the world also really admire the 'people who fight for their ideals.'

"Master Wang, you are polite, but it is not too late, the water level is rising too fast, and this heavy rain is incessant, and the Yellow River is at risk of bursting its embankment at any time!"

Wu Wen said seriously, thinking that he had fulfilled his responsibilities, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Lord Xiao Wu, you go to drink a bowl of ginseng tea first, go to get rid of the moisture, change into new clothes, don't get sick again, come on, hurry up and prepare."

Master Wang has already done this, so he is not afraid to do a little more, and greeted Wu Wen warmly.

And Master Wang also sent someone to inform the prefect of Zhang, and when Wu Wen cleaned up, he immediately went to the prefect's mansion.

Governor Zhang's mansion was swept away Yaxing, and he didn't feel very comfortable, but he still respected Master Wang.

After all, the Wang family is also a big force in Luoyang City, and Master Wang is a branch of the Wang family, but it is very good to be in the same line as the Wang family.

Master Wang led Wu Wen and came to report to the prefect, who was waiting in the study.

The two saluted and were politely called out by the elegant prefect Zhang.

Wu Wen took out a piece of oiled paper from his bosom, which carefully wrapped the recorded height of the water level of the embankment.

"Your Excellency, please see, this is the height of the Yellow River's water level, it has passed the warning line, and as the rain continues to pour in, the embankment may burst anytime and anywhere."

"The bursting of the banks of the Yellow River will cause the displacement of people on both sides of the river, the land will be flooded, and there will be no gain, so it is quite important for adults to make a decision as soon as possible."

Wu Wen respectfully handed the recorded notebook to the prefect Zhang, hoping to attract the prefect's attention.

Governor Zhang couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand the use of what was written, so he took a few glances and put it on the table.

"Well, the official understands, and the official sees that the rain is getting lighter and lighter, so there won't be anything."

"The official already knows about this, so you should go down first."

Governor Zhang really didn't think it was a big deal, and even if something big happened, he would not be able to report it to the emperor.

First of all, now is the moment when the emperor is most proud, if the embankment bursts, he will not do any good, and if the Yellow River does not burst the embankment, he will be ruining his happiness by reporting to the emperor.

Master Wang opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to persuade him, because it was because Governor Zhang had never seen the Yellow River burst and didn't know the danger of it.

If you can't continue to persuade, if you continue to persuade, you will be annoying.

Wu Wen also wanted to go on and hope that Governor Zhang's Mansion would lead the people of Fucheng to flee as soon as possible.

But it is impossible to think about it, and the prefect of Zhang took the people to flee in person, and when the emperor knew about this, he would definitely be killed.

Not only could Prime Minister Gao not save him, but no one in the world could save Governor Zhang.

"Then I'll retire first, and Governor Zhang will leave."

Master Wang stopped Wu Wen and left respectfully.

Governor Zhang's Mansion had already served tea to the guests, and he thought about it for a long time after the two left, but he still felt that he should not report it to the emperor.

And since he came to Luoyang City, in the past few years, he has also encountered this kind of heavy rain moment.

For several years, there has never been any talk of the Yellow River bursting.

Prefect Zhang believes that this is a fabrication, not a fabrication, but also an alarmist statement.

The various families in Luoyang City also knew Wu Wen's reminder, and they also made preparations in advance.

The common people also trusted Wu Wen, and his grandfather and father had predicted the success of the Yellow River's burst.

In those years, he saved a lot of ordinary people, so the common people would believe in Wu Wen.

The common people believed that it was useless, and the key was that the prefect knew about the situation but was unmoved.

The weather changed from pouring rain to drizzle, and gradually became less and less as the rain gradually decreased.

Governor Zhang also said to his subordinates: "Let me just say, how can the Yellow River burst its banks so easily?" In the past few years, this kind of heavy rain has not been unprecedented, and I have never seen the Yellow River burst its banks. ”

"People, you must learn to grow your brains, and you can't say what others say, otherwise you will be deceived by others."

Governor Zhang said self-righteously that he was not stupid, and there were many times when it rained heavily in previous years.

Of course, the people under his command echoed the call and kept praising the prefect Zhang for his fearlessness in the face of danger.

No one else understood, so how could Wu Wen not understand, he went to check the water of the Yellow River again, and there was no downward trend in the slightest.

This means that it is still raining upstream, and it is not raining.

The most important thing is that the imperial court will allocate funds every year to salvage the silt of the Yellow River, and every year careful care can prevent the Yellow River from bursting its banks.

But in the event of a flood, even if it is carefully cared for, it may be useless.

Governor Zhang did not know the importance of the Yellow River, nor did he know how dangerous it was. Therefore, the silver taels allocated every year to repair the Yellow River have been openly embezzled.

Take out a little silver tael and fool around casually, who is this fooling? It is the common people who are fooling.

In the end, it was the common people who suffered the disaster, and it was the common people who suffered the most.

Wu Wen was extremely disappointed, others didn't let him go!

Wu Wen's father and grandfather were buried in the Yellow River, leaving only his mother and a younger sister, Wu Rou, and a water conservancy book handed down from their ancestors.

Only two boxes of books are the most valuable and fundamental to the family legacy.

As the only man in the family, Wu Wen's decision is the decision of the whole family.

Wu Wen's mother, Wu Bai, sighed incessantly, the men of the Wu family were all killed by the Yellow River.

Wu Bai didn't want his son Wu Wen to lose his life, so he left and left.

Wu Rou is already twelve years old, and usually follows her mother to learn embroidery at home, and I heard that the Wu family is only a small nine-rank official, but she is also the daughter of an official eunuch.

It's still nice to say that the identity is out, but in fact it doesn't have the enjoyment of the daughter of the official eunuch.

Usually, I have to embroider some needlework, take it out and replace it with copper plates, which is used to subsidize the family.

"Brother, do we have to go?"

Wu Rou was afraid, because his brother had to take care of his mother and her along the way, and it was really difficult for him to go on the road alone.

"Don't worry, my brother will go to find the caravan, let's go with the caravan, and we can take care of it." And our family has a carriage, my sister stays in the carriage with my mother, and I am responsible for driving the carriage. ”

"Hurry up and pack up your things, let's hurry up, this official doesn't deserve!"

Wu Wen was very angry, and he didn't want to be angry anymore, so he said that he would leave everything, mainly because he really felt that the Yellow River would definitely burst its banks this time.

Wu Rou couldn't persuade her brother, so she could only follow her brother to get busy, and whatever his brother said was whatever he wanted.

After Wu Wen's family packed their luggage, they left Luoyang City at night.

After waiting for three days, the yamen saw that Wu Wen had not come to answer, so he sent someone to check on him.

Finally, it was discovered that Wu Wen's family had disappeared, and they had left without saying goodbye.

There were some old people in Luoyang City, and they panicked, and Wu Wen was gone, so what could they do? Why isn't Wu Wen like his father?

That's right, just like his grandfather and father, for the sake of all the people, they kept admonishing, why didn't they inform everyone this time?

The people of Luoyang City still have some complaints, and they don't want to think about it, the men of the Wu family are all dead!

In the midst of the panic, many people kept complaining.

However, there is always a kind of luck mentality, and it is precisely because of this luck mentality that many ordinary people do not shed their coffins or shed tears.

That's why Wu Wen's father and grandfather tried to dissuade him, but in the end, he didn't escape the disaster.

This time, Wu Wen didn't wait, what did he like, anyway, he had already prepared his family's household registration, everything was ready, and he wanted to go wherever he wanted.

Wu Wen: Lao Tzu is no longer serving!

If Zhongzhou on both sides of the Yellow River is said to be heavily rained, the rain is too abundant.

Then the Nanjun Mansion should have been a place where the wind and rain were smooth and the water and rain were abundant.

There has been no heavy rain this year, and there is no shortage of water in the Nanjun Government, there are lakes, rivers, and springs in the mountains, and there is no shortage of water, but if it does not rain, the people have to carry water by themselves.

In some counties, there are no big rivers, only small winding streams, and it never rains, which causes the water of the small streams to drop all the time.

Conflicts between villages are beginning to arise again.

Living in the upper reaches of the villages, the flow of water is intercepted for irrigation, and in the lower villages, the common people can only watch the flow of water getting smaller and smaller.

But if there is a battle, can there be no war?

If there is no water for food, there may be no harvest, and then you will not starve to death.

You don't have to fight for water so you don't starve to death, and you have to drink water yourself if you don't want to irrigate.

The water has not completely stopped, but it does not rain, which makes people feel very irritable.

There are also more and more frictions, and the more frictions there are, the more contradictions can easily arise.

There is no great contradiction in Dayuan County, because there is a long Dayuan River, and this river has not been interrupted since ancient times.

This is one of the reasons why Dayuan County is more affluent than other counties.

Yuanzhuang also suffered from drought.

However, the common people have not complained that they are tired, that is, this year will be a little harder, and the grain may not be too abundant, but there will always be a harvest after hard work.

The peach trees on the mountain have already set fruit, and the peaches are quite good.

"The hotter the weather, the sweeter the peaches."

Yuan Bin knew that this year's peaches might be delicious, but the rice in the crops made him very worried.

Although Yuan Bin did not need to water it himself, in his spare time, when he went out, he found that all the people in Zhuangzi were fetching water and irrigating the land.

Sometimes men, women, and children go into battle together, but the sky is so hot that the adult strong men can't stand the heat, and their skin is tanned.

But the more the sun gets, the more you have to water the crops, and if you don't water the crops, the crops will die of drought.

The geographical location of Yuanzhuang is very good, there is a small river, taken from the diversion of the Dayuan River, but there is no worry about the water will be cut off.

However, the five nearby Zhuangzi have not been so lucky, so they are also worried about it recently.
