Chapter 525 What’s wrong with them? They just want to survive!
Ying Chengyu’s anger was undisguised.
As early as six days ago, Mrs. Han had already summoned all pavilions in Chang'an Township, ordering them to evacuate dangerous areas and prepare for mudslides and floods.
As a result, to this day, Weizili has not yet retreated to a safe area!
This is an absolute dereliction of duty!
Zhao Nian's voice was full of bitterness: "Beizhi is from this place, and all around me in Guizhou are members of Beizhi's family members."
"How could Beizhi just sit back and watch them die!"
"As soon as I heard the emperor's order, I organized the heads of Guizhou to leave Weizili and stock up outside the mountain."
"However, this mountain walk is much more serious than before!"
“Not only did it flood Weizili in an instant, but it also spread all the way to our temporary camp.”
"I know I am guilty of my humble position!"
"If Lord Chang'an had not come to my aid in time, this mountain walk would have caused many casualties in Weizili!"
I thought of Zhao Nian running back and forth carrying the old man on his back. With such a look on his face, Ying Chengyu suppressed the urge to kill him with a sword, and asked in a cold voice: "Since you have received my order, why don't you retreat farther and still stay around the hillside?"
Zhao Nian explained calmly: "The location chosen by me is the place where I would stay every time I walked in the mountains."
"This is what Wei Zili Qian Shou spent more than a hundred years trying to do. The most reliable place.”
"If you get closer, the danger will increase sharply."
"If you get far away, you won't be able to take care of the fields!"
Ying Chengyu almost laughed in anger: "Great disaster Our lives are at stake.”
“Are you still worried about your land at this moment?”
“Which is more important, your life or your land?”
Zhao Nian said matter-of-factly: "It's equally important."
"If you are swallowed by mountains and rolling stones, you will die."
"If you don't have corn for meals, you will die too!"
“We have no choice to make a living!”
If we completely ignore the acres of land out of worries about mudslides, then this year’s food harvest will definitely be poor or even impossible!
It would be okay if there was a mudslide at that time.
Although the mudslide will swallow up acres of land and even many lives, the court will mostly distribute some relief food afterwards, reduce taxes, and allow them to go hunting in the mountains to tide over the difficulties, so as to keep the people here in Guizhou Stay alive.
But if there is no landslide after worrying for a long time, how can Weizili Guizhou, whose fields have failed and there is no government relief, survive the next autumn harvest? !
If you can’t survive it, you will die!
Faced with Zhao Nian’s answer, Ying Chengyu was speechless!
If Ying Chengyu was in Zhao Nian's position, he wouldn't know what to do.
After pondering for a moment, Ying Chengyu restrained the coldness in his words: "I will not punish you, and I have no right to punish you."
"You The arrangement of this mountain walk should be left to the Xianyang County Magistrate to decide whether it is right or wrong."
"I will tell the Xianyang County Magistrate truthfully about your sacrifice of life to save others."
Ying Chengyu knows that he does not understand the livelihood of the grassroots people, so although Ying Chengyu can understand Zhao Nian's dilemma, Ying Chengyu will not judge whether Zhao Nian is right or wrong based on his own likes and dislikes.
Zhao Nian gratefully handed over his hands: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"
Behind Zhao Nian, a man named Li Qiandu stood up with his legs strong.
Seeing that the cold expression on Ying Cheng's face faded, and with the permission of Zhao Nian's eyes, all the Guizhou leaders dared to bow their heads gratefully and shout: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"
They all knew it. , if Ying Chengyu hadn’t come to the rescue, this mudslide would have taken away at least a hundred lives!
This is a real life-saving grace!
Ying Chengji smiled and returned the gift with his hands raised: "You are all the people under my rule. I cannot just sit back and ignore you."
"The gentleman in my house has rushed to the camp with food. Everyone, It won’t take long to set up camp here and have a hot meal.”
“Xianyang County has also opened a granary to distribute food for disaster relief. I will ask the magistrate of Xianyang County to open a food warehouse for disaster relief. So."
"Chang'an Township and Chang'an Junfu have also prepared Chang'an plows, cattle and grain planting to prepare for post-disaster reconstruction."
"Everything will be fine when the heavy rain ends. Get up!”
"Elders, there is no need to say thank you."
Ying Chengyu's arrangement is just to use the "Qin Law" as a standard, to speed up the response a little, to ensure that intermediary officials will not deduct, and to reduce the interest on borrowing funds for reconstruction after the disaster. That’s all.
But the leaders of Guizhou in Weizili know very well that although the "Qin Law" is like this, today's Qin Dynasty also lacks food and grass, and it is impossible to carry out disaster relief in full compliance with the "Qin Law" throughout the territory.
Ying Chengyu must open the Chang'an Lord's treasury to allow them to persist until the next autumn harvest!
The gratitude in the hearts of all Guizhou heads was almost overflowing. They bent down deeply again and shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Mr. Chang'an is so kind and virtuous!"
"We will die in repayment!"
Ying Chengyu did not want these Guizhou heads who were already exhausted to continue to strain their bodies and minds to cope. As the Lord of Chang'an, he was also worried about whether other pavilions in Chang'an Township would suffer disaster.
There was not much greeting, just a brief nod: "Someone will come with a tent later, and you will just communicate with the visitor for the rest of the chores."
"I'll take my leave first! ”
Watching Ying Chengyu's leaving figure, Weizili Qianshou shouted in unison:
"Thank you, Mr. Chang'an!!!"
Weizili Qianshou's gratitude came from the bottom of his heart and was sincere. cut.
But it was difficult for Ying Chengyu to smile.
Taking a group of family soldiers with him, Ying Chengyu ran towards the mountain along the mountain road.
Not long after, another burst of roars reached Ying Chengxiao's ears.
“The Ziwu Valley has been eroded, and Huizili has been flooded. Aren’t you afraid that the Tianding Mountain will also be eroded by rocks? Move quickly! Don’t waste your life!”
"No! Er's field! Er Aweng's field in exchange for his life! Er has to drain water for the Er family's fields, Er can't leave!"
"Youzhi has ordered all mountain people to come out of the mountain. Who dares to disobey it?" Order, fight! "We can't walk! Please help us clear the ditch. As long as the ditch is clear, we will not walk away!"
Ying Chengyu turned his horse's head silently and headed in the direction where the roar came from.
From a distance, Ying Chengyu saw Zhang Xun, the steward of the Chang'an Junfu, leading a group of thieves to stop him in front of the Guizhou leaders. The two sides were spitting and arguing.
Zhang Xun and the thieves-exterminators clearly had the upper hand, almost forcing the Guizhou leaders to come out as if they were escorting criminals.
But the Guizhou leaders did not give up resistance. Some women and children even knelt on the ground and begged.
Seeing Ying Chengyu from the corner of his eye, Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran over: "Your Majesty!"
Ying Chengyu still looked at the two parties in the conflict and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Zhang Xun quickly explained: "Just after Mr. Cai sent the message to Chang'an Township, Mrs. Han immediately sent us out. The government organized Qian Shou to continue retreating, and Humble came to this boulder.”
“However, after arriving, Humble found that Qian Shou in this boulder was just letting the young children stay in the place arranged by Humble. The old men all moved their tents several hundred feet into the mountains!"
"I immediately took the traitors and wanted to move these heads of Guizhou, but they didn't want to leave."
"They. I still believe that as long as the ditch is wide enough, the rainwater can be drained away and the worry of walking in the mountains will be eliminated! ”
After Ying Chengyu was silent for a few breaths, he asked: "Because of the acres?"
Zhang Xun sighed softly: "Your Majesty has a clear warning."
"Baoshili is located in a valley. Once the sky If we walk up and down the mountain, all the houses and fields in the boulder will be gone.”
“The imperial court’s relief can last a while, but it cannot save the whole life.”
“Although your Majesty is willing. Lending the reclaimed land to Qian Shou for free.”
"Of course, it is not easy to cultivate acres of land and build houses, and it is not known whether the acres of land can be reclaimed in Baoshili after the mountain is gone." I can leave my homeland and move somewhere else.”
Looking at the people in Guizhou who were crying and wanting to go back to open channels to prevent mudslides, Ying Chengyu didn’t know what to say.
Even though Ying Chengyu and Mrs. Han ordered them to withdraw from the dangerous area early, they still guarded those fields and refused to leave, and they were not willing to pay the price with their lives for those few fields!
It’s hard not to be outraged.
But they also know how to use ditch drainage to prevent mudslides, and they are doing their best for the foundation of their survival, even at the expense of sacrifice!
What's wrong with them?
They just want to live!
That’s all!
After a long silence, Ying Chengyu finally spoke: "Inform all the heads of Guizhou in Chang'an Township."
"If I have a mouthful of food, I will at least have a mouthful of soup for them to drink."
"As long as I work diligently, I will not let them die of cold and hunger."
"But, All Guizhou leaders in dangerous areas must be evacuated!"
"Those who persist in trying to persuade us to no avail will be expelled from Chang'an Township, and those who resist violently will be executed!"
"This is a no-brainer! Discuss! ”
Opening ditches is indeed a way to prevent and control mudslides.
However, this strategy requires a large amount of time and engineering work, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.
That is, future generations need to manage it on a regular basis on weekdays, and will not choose to improvise after it rains, let alone now that they can only rely on simple manpower for excavation.
Ying Chengyu can understand the mentality of the Guizhou leaders, but Ying Chengyu cannot sit back and watch the Guizhou leaders die!
Zhang Xun immediately handed over his hand: "Wei!"
"All the eunuchs and gentlemen in the palace and all the officials in Chang'an Township have gone to various places in Chang'an Township to supervise the suppression."
"Please return to the palace first to take charge of the overall situation!"
Although Chang'an The government does not need Ying Chengyu to take charge of the overall situation.
But Ying Chengyu is the pillar of strength in everyone’s heart.
If Ying Chengyu catches the cold or even falls ill, no one will have the energy to provide disaster relief!
Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "Excuse me, everyone."
"After this disaster, I will give you another reward."
After giving the instructions, Ying Chengyu no longer ran around, but slowed down. The horse speeds slowly towards Chang'an Township.
The ministers in the DPRK are vying for power.
The people in the mountains and wilds are struggling to survive.
This sharp contrast appeared in front of Ying Chengyu on the same day, making Ying Chengyu feel depressed in his heart.
However, Ying Chengyu could not relieve his depression by firing at the officials of the DPRK and China.
Although Ying Zheng is leading the fight, he has not neglected the arrangements for disaster relief.
Han Cang and other officials were so busy that they hit the back of their heads, constantly allocating and organizing grain and medicinal materials.
On the contrary, he, a depressed person, was actually unable to do anything in the face of this disaster.
After stepping into the gate of Chang'an Jun's Mansion, Ying Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice:
"It is said that the great craftsman Cao Mao and the great craftsman Qi Ai!"
"Please come to Hancang, the great master!" , Ji Tian ordered Xu Min to go to Chang'an Jun's Mansion to talk!"
