The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1006
"It's getting late today, you all have been running around for days, I think you are very tired. I am a little drunk when I see Min Shidu, and the mansion has prepared a guest room for you. Let's go here first, why not talk about it tomorrow, I don't know What do you guys think?"

Li Taihang bowed his hands to everyone, the matter was more than half done, he was in a good mood.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kind hospitality. Then we should be respectful rather than obedient."

He Zhongkuan looked at Min Feng, who was walking in front of him with the woman in his arms, walking at a pace that his relatives didn't recognize, and he felt a tinge of contempt in his heart.

It's really shallow-sighted, just arrived at the mansion, and can't wait to show his true colors.

At any rate, he should be more reserved, and he will not refuse anyone who offers it to him?

He Zhongkuan despised him, but he couldn't help but think of Li Taihang's plan.

What was said at the banquet had to be reported to the master immediately, this Li Taihang really had the guts of a bear, who dares to plot?

At this moment, it was the second quarter of the unitary hour, outside the Yajiaomen of Yingnanfu, a man wearing a coarse cloth bunt, holding a cloth bag in his hand, stepped forward and knocked on the vermilion corner gate.

The iron ring on the gate was knocked, and then there were footsteps and inquiries from inside.

The corner door was opened with a gap, and a person protruded from it, an old man guarding the door.

"Who are you? This is the residence of the magistrate, what is your business?"

The old man looked the man up and down, and saw that the man was wearing coarse clothes, holding a satin furoshiki in his arms.

He wondered, he was wearing coarse cloth, how could the package in his arms be wrapped in satin?
"Quickly go and inform your lord that Chen Zhao, the yamen servant of Changtian Mansion, is begging to see you!"

The person in front of him was Chen Zhao. He changed his clothes at the villager's house, so he was considered clean.

Otherwise, the people in the yamen would definitely treat him as a beggar and drive him away before he could speak.

After finally finding a pair of unpatched coarse clothes, before he had time to drink a sip of water, he hurriedly urged the fellow driving the ox cart to the government office.

The concierge looked at Chen Zhao again, with obvious doubts in his eyes.

He knew that the disaster in Changtian Mansion was serious at the moment, but this person said that he was a yamen servant, but he was not in official service.

No matter how you think about it, it's unbelievable to just go to the government office and say that you want to see an adult.

His lord is going to entertain distinguished guests tonight, if he is bumped by this person.

When the time comes to blame, then I will definitely be unable to eat and walk around.

When Chen Zhao saw that the porter didn't believe it, he quickly opened some of the wrapped clothes and took out the official seal inside.

"I have an urgent matter to see the magistrate. I have our official uniform and official seal in my hand. You should report it quickly. Otherwise, your lord will blame you, and you can't afford it."

Chen Zhao looked anxious and yelled at the porter.

The concierge was so angry with Chen Zhao's attitude that he almost wanted to curse, but after he saw the official seal in Chen Zhao's hand, he was immediately scared out of his wits.

Hastily said: "Please wait a moment, the villain will report right away."

On the other side, Hu Maoshen was also very anxious, "Can you stop those people? With so many people going to Hangtian Mansion, Hangtian Mansion must not be able to eat them."

Hu Maoshen was very worried. Hangtian Mansion is also one of the prefectures near the river. If there is a problem with the embankment of the Tianya River, then Hangtian Mansion must be very dangerous.

Just now he asked someone to inquire about the news, and he heard that there were cracks in the river embankment of Hangtian Mansion before.

The officials and people of Hangtianfu are working day and night to reinforce the embankment.

Yang Chaoying, the magistrate of Hangtian Mansion, is naturally considered a smarter person compared to Qian Huichun.However, he can be regarded as a lesson learned from Changtian Mansion.

"My lord! The people don't listen to what we say now. Hangtian Mansion is further north than Yingnan Mansion. They think it's safe to go to the north."

The yamen servants are in a bit of a dilemma. Now that there is such a big flood in Changtian Mansion, the people of course dare not stay any longer. After all, everyone is afraid of death!
Hu Mao took a deep look at the yamen servant who was wrinkled into a bitter face, and sighed deeply.

He also knew that this matter was difficult, and the people would definitely have to relocate.

Changtian Mansion is adjacent to the river, and it is still in the lower reaches of Tianya River.Once the dike breaks again, these people will only be buried under the river.

Such a tragic thing must not be allowed to happen again, but how to settle the people, he has no idea in his heart.

With so many people left in Changtian Mansion, if they all moved to Hangtian Mansion, how could Hangtian Mansion be able to bear it?
He had a general understanding of the disaster situation yesterday, and he had already sent a letter to ask the imperial court to allocate relief money.

But it will take a long time for the imperial court to transfer the money, and during this time, the refugees in Changtian Mansion must settle down, right?
He frowned and thought hard, finally letting him think of a way.

"Quick! Grind the ink for me!" Hu Maoshen pointed to the attendants beside him, and walked towards the study with big strides.

At this time, Yang Chaoying, the magistrate of Hangtian Prefecture, who was supervising the work, looked up at the sky, and the fine rain began to float in the sky again.

After a while, the rain became a huge raindrop.

Yang Chaoying angrily wiped the rainwater from his face, and cursed angrily, "God, it started raining again, and it hasn't stopped for a long time."

The river workers who were working were still cheering. If it doesn't rain, their Hangtian Mansion can be saved, so everyone started to slack off in their work.

But now it started to rain heavily again, and the river workers were a little frustrated.

Yang Chaoying yelled at these people: "It's raining again, we have to speed up, don't let the river water break down the dam! Everyone think about Changtian Mansion, this is our lesson from the past."

After shouting, his body felt weak for a while.His knees were so weak that he was about to lean to the side, and the attendant at the side hurried forward to give him a hand.

Only then did he realize that it was almost time for lunch, so he hurriedly ordered: "You must be satisfied with the meal at noon, and I will eat and drink with the people. If I find out that there is only clear soup and little water, I must punish them severely."

After working so hard every day, if they still can't get enough to eat, the river workers must be dissatisfied.When the time comes to do things negatively and slow down, when will the river embankment be repaired?
"My lord, you can see the daily meals. Don't talk about meat, steamed buns, steamed buns, you will definitely be full. It's just that there are too many people repairing the river embankment this time, and the imperial court has not allocated food. Our food reserves have already run out." It's over."

Although the yamen servant felt that if he said this at this time, the adults would definitely be more worried, but this is a fact that cannot be ignored.

Even if they waited for the disaster relief from the court, but their Hangtian Mansion didn't break the embankment, the court's disaster relief would not consider Hangtian Mansion!
Yang Chaoying's face suddenly turned livid, and the government government left very little food reserves every year.It is a small part that is retained after taxation, in order to prepare for a rainy day.

And each government office has a warehouse, which is specially used to store grain, which is part of the annual tax revenue of the people.

After paying enough taxes to be transported to the capital, the rest must be stored in the government office's warehouse in case of natural disasters.
