************************************

The icy rain poured violently to the ground during the day, but only stopped the rain at dusk, and some rain foam floated down.

Throughout the autumn of the 8th year of Chongguan, Baisha County, Weiyang House, Jiangdong could not get rid of such torrential rain.

Countless houses collapsed in the torrential rain, and boats could sail on the stagnant water on the streets of the county town. In early September, even the southern city wall of the county town collapsed due to the heavy rain, revealing a huge and ugly gap. In the past two days, the sky, who had torn open its mouth, had slightly restrained the rain, allowing Baisha County to breathe a little. It's just that there are waterlogging everywhere, and the water will not be released for a while and a half. The Baishui River outside the county has also become a hanging river, and the flood water is almost overflowing the embankment; Mouth, maybe this county has already poured water into the Baishui River once.

The disaster relief camp is located on the grave head mountain in the river bank outside the city. The mountain is an earth mountain, more than ten feet high, shaped like a giant tomb without a tomb cap. It is called Tomb Head Mountain.

A tall young official, wearing a black gauze crown and a blue regimental robe, walked towards the Tomb Head Mountain where the relief camp was located, regardless of the muddy road under his feet.

The officer's visit to the Baisha Relief Camp immediately caused a commotion, and many victims in ragged clothes gathered around: "Dong Fujun is here, there is hope." "Your Excellency will not watch everyone starve to death." "Who is Dong Fujun? It was him."

The young official is Dong Yuan, the prefect of Weiyang House. Dong Yuan was the head of Xianxia County in the northern part of East Fujian when the rebellion of the extravagant family in Jin'an Prefecture swept across East Fujian. When the rebels attacked, the former magistrate of Xianxia County was a coward. He only wanted to sacrifice the city to surrender to the enemy and save his own life. Dong Yuan invited the county residents to lock up the magistrate, close the city, and block the rebel army from invading the territory of western Zhejiang. The road; the Shejia rebels besieged the city, and Yueyu saw that the storm could not be attacked, so he released the siege. Dong Yuan later served under the account of Li Zhuo, the minister of military affairs in Jiangning and the governor of East Fujian, and made many military exploits. The rebellion of the Shejia family in Dongmin has been in trouble for many years, but it is difficult to completely pacify. The court and Li Zhuo, who was in charge of suppressing the rebellion in the southeast, have the idea of ​​​​to appease the luxury family. Into Weiyang House as prefect.

It had been sunny for a few days, and there were still some raindrops floating in the sky at dusk. Dong Yuan walked in a hurry and didn't mind the light raindrops falling on his face. .

"Knowing Confucianism, when will the second batch of grain allocated by Jiangning arrive?" Dong Yuan asked, not only Baisha County in Weiyang House was affected by the disaster, and the grain and money needed for disaster relief must be allocated from Jiangning in Beijing.

The Taizu of this dynasty laid the foundation in Jiangning, and made Jiangning the capital after the event; Taizong moved the capital to Yanjing Prefecture in order to defend against the aliens such as the Donghu in the north, and made Jiangning the capital of his stay. Jiangning still retains the establishment of central bureaucratic institutions such as the Sixth Ministry, Guozijian, and the Hanlin Academy, which are nominally at the same level as the Yanjing Sixth Ministry and the Third Academy, but are far inferior in real power. Since the tomb of Emperor Taizu is located in Jiangning, the world calls the idle officials appointed by Jiangning as tomb-keepers. Even so, Jiangning Mansion has been the political, military and economic center of the southern part of the empire for more than two hundred years.

Ding Zhiru said: "I just received a letter from the fast horse that the disaster relief food has already started to be loaded into the ship in Jiangning last night. The ship should be dispatched at noon today, and it should be able to arrive here tomorrow morning."

"Okay. How about the disaster?"

"The rivers in the territory have been in disrepair for many years, and the torrential rain has poured down. In the past few days, I can receive the levee break documents. Although the rain has stopped in the past few days, the floods have not been discharged, and the casualties will not be less than 10,000 people. The water level of the Yangtze River will not go down for a while, and the levee is not solid - now I am afraid of this..."

Dong Yuan was silent for a moment, and said bitterly: "Thief, Chengping has been in peace for many years, but he doesn't know how to prepare for danger in times of peace. Baisha counties are flooded, Hailing, Chongzhou and other places are flooded by tides, and some pirates have come ashore to join in the fun, and now they even have Chongzhou County. The county school in the city has been robbed..." After talking about these troubles, Dong Yuan couldn't help but sighed in front of his subordinates and old friends, he slapped his sleeves angrily, and ordered Ding Zhiru to repair the embankment, "At this time, repairing the embankment was also If it is too late, we can only wait until the end of winter—the dangerous embankment will send more people to watch, and the people under the embankment will be evacuated as soon as they can. The victims who cannot be resettled here will be evacuated to Weiyang City. You have to sum it up and give me the charter..."

"As ordered."

Dong Yuan, Ding Zhiru, and Gao Zongting walked to the top of the mountain while discussing disaster relief. There is a pavilion over there, overlooking the Baishui River.

Although there are still rain stars and foam floating down from the sky, the sky is bright and sunny. Standing in the pavilion on the top of the mountain, looking from a distance, the sunset in the clear autumn is red and bloody, hanging in the blue sky like a wash, outside the embankment. The water surface of the Baishui River is sparse, and the clear waves are red like dye.

At this moment, a wisp of the sound of the piano came from the direction of the ferry, and the commotion all around seemed to be abruptly quieted by the sudden sound of the piano.

Dong Yuan followed the sound of the piano and looked at the foot of the mountain. A few leaves of a light boat were tied outside the embankment, and a painted boat in the middle was particularly conspicuous. Many victims in ragged clothes were sitting on the Shibazi river embankment listening to the sound of the piano, looking down, as small as ants; there were also a few fishing boats surrounding the simple temporary ferry, which seemed to come specially for the sound of the piano.

Dong Yuan stopped and listened for a moment, then asked with a frown, "Who is playing the piano?"

"Su Mei, a famous prostitute in Jiangning, has been docked here for several days." Ding Zhiru replied.

"She's not in Jiangning, what is she doing here?" Dong Yuan had also heard of Su Mei's beautiful name, and knew that she was a famous singer in Jiangning city. She was beautiful and talented. She was so sought after, she wondered how she would leave Jiangning and appear in Weiyang Mansion at this time.

"Du Rong returned to his hometown to celebrate his father's 60th birthday, and invited Sumei to come back to Weiyang to help with the fun..." Ding Zhiru replied.

Hearing Du Rong's name, Dong Yuan frowned slightly, his nose slightly dilated, panting heavily, and his expression was quite disdain for this person.

Gao Zongting said: "The She family intends to join the family. Besides Yanjing, there are many people here in Beijing who are active for the She family, and Du Rong is one of them. Some people report Du Rong's fornication with pirates, and Li Shuai also sits and does nothing... "

Ding Zhiru looked away. He was a small magistrate who did not dare to arbitrarily discuss state affairs. Dong Yuan was famous for his bad temper. He also dared to scold Li Zhuo, the Minister of War of Jiangning and the Governor of Dongmin. If you don't like him, you just take things out of your eyes.

Dong Yuan snorted coldly: "In the past few years, the pirates and bandits in the East have been in trouble, and they can't get rid of the relationship with the She family. If there were no pirates to help the tyrants in these years, Li Shuai would have already wiped out Dongmin.

"I'm afraid that after the She family is attached, they will be more self-respecting." Gao Zongting said again, "Before I came to Weiyang, I stayed in Jiangning for a few days, and the scholars of the Xixi Society also publicly agreed with the matter of the She family's surrender. It seems that the DPRK and Li Shuai's intentions to appease him have been determined."

"These nerds, they call themselves famous, but they only know how to play tricks!" Dong Yuan's mouth was very rude, but his tone was a little helpless. He was only the prefect of Weiyang and could not influence the political situation in the DPRK and China. Besides, he was on the issue of the return of the extravagant family. It was only because he disagreed with others that he kicked Wei Yang.

bookworm? Ding Zhiru slanted his eyes to look at the painted embankment outside the embankment. Why is the Xixi Society just a bunch of nerds who play with their tongues? I also thought that the extravagant family would be attached, the feudal lords would cede land, and nearly ten thousand elite soldiers would be retained in their hands, and then they would join the eastern pirate forces on the periphery, which would be regarded as one of the lords. Bearing heavy burdens, the DPRK is eager to dispatch elite soldiers from the southeast to strengthen the defense line in the north, and accepting the invitation of the luxury family to surrender is also the meaning of the title; of course, it is not that there is no defense against Li Zhuo. The most important reason is that in the past ten years, in order to wipe out the rebellion of the extravagant family in East Fujian, tens of millions of dollars have been consumed in military resources and soldiers, which has made the financial support of the DPRK even more stretched.

Ding Zhiru saw that Dong Yuan was looking at himself and did not want to talk about him and Gao Zongting, so he smiled and said other things: "Sumei passed through Baisha County, and seeing the serious flooding and the poor victims, he stopped the boat outside the embankment after returning from Weiyang. Performing arts, wealthy people in the county can get on the boat to listen to the qin and songs, and the money and goods will be donated to the relief victims; Du Rong also joined in the fun, promising that Su Mei will perform arts in Baisha for ten days, and he will donate a thousand taels of silver - this It's already the eighth day..." Seeing that Dong Yuan was looking in the direction of the Chuanqin painting boat, UU reading www.uukanshu.com flattered, "If the mansion has Yaxing who listens to the qin, I can send someone to bring Su Mei girl ashore to help. Drinking."

Dong Yuan shook his head and said, "The disaster victims are all over the place, what kind of etiquette is it for me to drink and listen to the piano in the elegant room of the high hall?"

Seeing that Dong Yuan's expression was not firm, Ding Zhiru said: "I really have other thoughts, please don't take offense to the government; I actually want to ask the government to reward Su Mei's disaster relief..." Seeing that Dong Yuan didn't say a word, he turned around and followed Gao Zongting first. Going down the mountain, I thought that I had accepted this Wei Wan statement of my own, and smiled in my heart: Who doesn't like beautiful beauties? Seeing a soap-clothed yacha standing not far away, he beckoned him to come over, and while following Dong Yuan to the city, he ordered the yacha to invite him to a dinner party in Su Mei.

Zaoyi Yachai was a squat man with wide eyebrows and squinting eyes. He led the dispatch and walked down the mountain towards the river bank.

The original ferry had long been submerged by the river water. Outside the river bank, a simple pier was built with uprights driven into the river beach and flat pine wood. The hull of the painting boat is tall, and after the water level of the Baishui River rises, the side of the boat is a lot higher than the pine pier; The ladder on the bow was retracted. Zao Yiya could hardly see the situation of the bow, and he didn't want to climb up in embarrassment. He pointed to a Wu Peng boat next to him and asked the boatman to support the boat; the Wu Peng boat was one taller than the pier. It is shorter than the painting boat, and borrowing feet from the Wu Peng boat is better than climbing up the painting boat with all four feet.

Just as Zaoyi Yachai jumped onto the bow of Wu Peng, a young servant in Tsing Yi got in from the cabin, and the two almost collided. Zaoyi Yacha was taken aback and scolded: "What a ghost, suddenly came out... That waste young master of your family died and came back to life, frightening the morgue you invited to bed, damn, you still want to scare you. Can't you do it?" My QT room is open!
