Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 140: Who cares about people's livelihood (2)

Lin Fu and Zhou Pu and all the military guards rushed to the Chaotianyi ferry at dusk.

Lin Fu was delayed for two days before and after the military camp in the northern border of Gutang County. The fleet had already sent everyone to the south bank for resettlement. When the Dongyang returned to the north bank, it stopped at Chaotianyi Ferry Terminal and waited for Lin Fu and the others to come and meet; Man also came to the north shore with the boat.

For the past two days, Lin Fu has been holding a sigh of relief in his heart. Seeing Liu Yueer and Xiaoman's charming faces and concerned eyes, his heart warmed, and he temporarily put his troubles behind him.

Lin Fu didn't know whether Zhang Yubo was in Chaotianyi or not, so he sent someone to look for him. He got on the boat, and the Dongyang went to the river mouth to clean up. The cabin on the second floor was covered with a brocade couch. He rode a fast horse for more than 100 miles. In addition, he couldn't rest well these days, and he was injured again. Lin Bie sat on the brocade couch and smelled the fragrance from the two women, and felt that his bones were all broken. Tired and falling apart, he asked, "Why did you come to the North Shore? I thought I would see you tomorrow."

"Don't blame Sister Liu, I came here by pestering Sister Liu. I heard that your right arm was injured by an arrow, and you can't even eat or wash your face. Sister Liu and I didn't come to serve you. Don't you want to be hungry for another day?" Xiaoman said crisply, the corners of the small mouth were slightly raised, the red lips were slightly opened, and he reached out to wipe Lin Bie's cheek, wiping a layer of dirt, "Look at you, how dirty are you?" Lin Bie's body was dirty, half of his body rested on him, and playfully reached out to touch the stubble on his chin, and said, "No one will wait for you to shave your beard."

"It's not like I have both hands injured," Lin Bie said. "Everyone has been busy these days, why don't I have the heart to clean up my appearance?" He said to Liu Yue'er apologetically, "I didn't expect Shiliang County. It would be so easy to fall into a trap, and you didn't send someone to the county to pick up your parents, brother and sister-in-law, will you blame me?"

"The most important thing is that you come back safely," Liu Yue'er whispered. She didn't say anything else. Seeing that the white cloth covering the wound on Lin Bie's arm was still bleeding, she asked, "Why hasn't the arrow wound been scarred yet? Don't hurry back and let Wu Langzhong take a look?" Her mind has been on Lin Fu these days, and she is also worried about the safety of her parents, brothers and sisters, which is always less than her concern for Lin Fu. He also secretly blamed himself for not caring enough about his parents, brothers and sisters.

"It's not a big deal. I came over on a fast horse and accidentally collapsed." Lin Fu said, it's not a big deal for the wound to burst and bleed.

*********

The person sent to find Zhang Yubo soon returned. Zhang Yubo was not in the post house for the temporary requisition of the ya office, and said that he and Liang Wenbo, the magistrate of Gutang County, went to Shiliupu in the west in the afternoon.

Lin Fu left a message for Zhang Yubo, and took the boat to Shishilipu in the west along the north bank of Chaotiandang.

Said to go to Shiliulipu to meet Zhang Yubo, Lin Fu also wanted to take a boat to take a more serious look at the situation of the refugees scattered on the beach on the north bank of Chaotiandang.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, from Hechazikou to the west, there are continuous shacks for displaced people on the river beach, and large areas of beach land have been reclaimed into fertile fields.

The winter wheat planted in Jiangdong is almost the harvest season. The large number of refugees gathered here is after the New Year, and most of the reclaimed wasteland is spring wheat that is replanted after spring.

The reeds in the shallow water were knee-high and short. Seeing that many people were standing barefoot in the shallow water to fish with simple fishing gear, Lin Bie thought that Li Zhuo had evacuated the fishing donations from Jiangning garrison mansion after he took office. .

If you don’t think about the dangers of the flood season, at this time, Jiangning County has urgently taken many measures to alleviate the conflicts between the main customers, the local area and the refugees, and the living difficulties of the refugees have eased. Every large refugee gathering area has set up porridge farms. Seeing that the wasteland on the river beach will be harvested, most of the refugees who first came to the river beach to enclose the land will also have the idea of ​​​​breeding and settling here.

Along the outskirts of the original river beach, the muddy embankments built by the refugees were intermittently more than 20 miles long. Most of the river embankment breaks are stream mouths and river mouths, and in some areas, mud embankments are built into earth enclosures, where homeless people gather to live.

There are six or seven miles of waterway going westward from the mouth of the river branch. The bright moon illuminates the river beach in a pale white. From a distance, I can see many shadows walking on the muddy embankment.

Someone on the mud embankment shouted to this side: "Is Lord Jinchuan Siyu Lin on the boat?"

It was Gao Zongting's voice. Lin Fu was hesitant to let the boat go over. During his hesitation, Zhang Yubo also shouted on the embankment, "Is Lin Fu on the boat?"

I don't know how Zhang Yubo met Gao Zongting, so Lin Fu asked people to put a light boat on the Dongyang into the water and pick up Gao Zongting, Zhang Yubo and others; A light boat, which can transport six or seven people or one or two thousand catties of goods to and from Dongyang at one time.

Along with Gao Zongting and Zhang Yubo was Liang Wenbo, the magistrate of Gutang County.

Zhang Yubo and Liang Wenbo went to Shiliulipu to inspect the resettlement of refugees. On the way back, they met Gao Zongting who was inspecting the mud embankments of the river beach.

"The moonlight is bright and the breeze is blowing on the face. Master Zhang, Master Liang, and Mr. Gao are really in good spirits..." Lin Fu greeted the three of them on board, and pretended to be confused. I'll have someone put the table on the deck, so I'm so excited, don't you mind having me alone?"

"Where is the interest? It's better to bring out the wine and vegetables, we are all hungry," Zhang Yubo and Lin Fu talked casually, looking at the bright window of the second-floor cabin in the aft cabin with a beautiful shadow reflected in it, and hearty Chao Lin Fu smiled and said, "If you are in good spirits, you are in good spirits. When will you be able to eat your wedding wine with Miss Liu? Or should we just get together today?"

Lin Fu hasn't married yet, and Na Liuyue'er can't hold a public banquet for her concubine, so she can only do simple rituals and choose a date.

Lin Bie just smiled and said, "I must invite you to drink."

Lin Bie couldn't take Liu Yueer too lightly.

Even if you can't openly invite a banquet, you must invite a matchmaker to talk about the event, choose the day according to the horoscope, and prepare the bride price.

It's not that Lin Fu agrees with red tape etiquette, but Liu Yue'er is a woman with a traditional temperament, and doing these etiquette is to give her respect and comfort. What's more, Liu Yue'er's parents, brother and sister-in-law are all trapped in Shiliang County and the news is unknown, and now is not the time to marry.

Zhang Yubo, Liang Wenbo, and Gao Zongting were all starving. Liu Yueer cooked a few small dishes on the boat, warmed two pots of wine and set up a simple table on the deck, and Lin Fu accompanied them to eat and drink.

The boat returned to Chaotian Station, and Lin Fu sent some food to the shore to fill the stomachs of Zhang, Liang, and Gao's entourage.

If it weren't for the troubles in Hongzepu, or if the muddy embankment on the north bank was not in danger, the breeze and the moon and the boats on the water would be really freehand.

"Mr. Gao sees a danger here. When Mr. Gao mentioned it, I was also scared into a cold sweat..." Zhang Yubo was drinking and told Lin Fu why he and Liang Wenbo and Gao Zongting met the mud embankment outside the river beach. The sinuous shadow of the muddy embankment in the distance said, "We walked three or four miles, and all the muddy embankments we saw were very thin. At this time, the momentum of the water swinging toward the sky was not large, and there was water seepage on the inside of some embankments. In the flood season, the flood peaks come, and these muddy banks will collapse as soon as they are flushed, and then there will be a big mess..."

"Ah!" Lin Fu responded with pretended surprise, looking at the direction of the mud embankment in a daze.

Lin Fu didn't want others to know that this danger was brought up by him and Gao Zongting. Gao Zongting was afraid that he knew the difficulties here, so he told Zhang Yubo and Liang Wenbo so, maybe Gao Zongting deliberately dragged Zhang Yubo and Liang Wenbo to the muddy embankment to wait for him.

Then he turned his head and said to Liang Wenbo, the county magistrate of Gutang County, "Master Liang, you really want to thank Mr. Gao. Hongzepu can't make trouble, and there won't be any trouble here. The refugees will be washed away by the flood, and the county will arrive. It’s time to invite the gentry to pay for food to help the victims. Washing away some refugees can also be regarded as a relief for the county. The current situation is different. Everything here in Jiangning puts stability first, and all adults have a consensus on this. Really. I don’t know what Li Shuai will think about letting these ten or two hundred thousand refugees soak in the water, and then wash away three or five thousand people for the adults. I don’t know what Li Shuai will think; Drop one or two heads to settle people's hearts."

Lin Fu's words were very rude. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com could even be said to be a threat. Liang Wenbo was annoyed, thinking that this pigherd madman, a small ninth-rank scholar, would dare to say anything seriously. To cut off one or two people's heads, of course, to cut off his Liang Wenbo's head.

Lin Fu was still good-tempered at this time. If he wanted to make him act willful, he would like to chop Liang Wenbo into meat sauce and throw it into the sky to feed the bastard. How could he be afraid of offending him?

Liang Wenbo had been the magistrate of Gutang County for three years, and he was from Xinyuan County, Jiangning. How could he possibly be ignorant of the dangers of Chaotian Ze's northern bank? He knew that this place was dangerous, and he let hundreds of thousands of refugees live here without guidance. When the flood season comes, who knows how many creatures will be involved in the flood peak?

If he speculates on Liang Wenbo with the most malicious thoughts, he is afraid that there will be a flood that will wash away the hundreds of thousands of refugees, so he doesn't need to worry about local security, resettlers, and places. The gentleman at the top came to hand over the paper.

Liang Wenbo's face was blushing for a while. He had the highest official position and the oldest in the audience, but Li Zhuo, the representative of Gao Zongting, and Lin Fu, Gu Wuchen, Zhang Yubo was from Gu Wuchen's line, and when it comes to power, Zhang Yubo is a little worse than him.

Now that the lid is lifted, he can't even close it. In the future, there will be a big mess in the river beach, and it is impossible for him to push the natural disaster. Although Li Zhuo or Gu Wuchen may not be able to chop off his head, it can still be done by taking off his official robe from Quan Li.

Liang Wenbo was angry in his heart, but he had to stand up and bow to Gao Zongting and thank him: "Thank you, Mr. Gao for his insight. If a catastrophe happens, how will Wenbo face his fathers and fellow villagers? How should he explain to the court?" To be much older, but at this time had to let go. My QT room is open!
