Chapter 131
Chapter 131
Quanzhou Inspector Zhang Gan sat in the lobby with a blank expression on his face. His subordinates were Chang Shi Sima's aides and other officials, and most of them looked serious or anxious.
This winter rain is too heavy and too long.
Except for a short break for a few days, it was actually continuous.
Now there are counties and towns coming to report again and again, and the paperwork has piled up into a thick pile within a few days.Now they are discussing how to come up with a solution, and it must not go on like this.
But before they discussed the reason, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
There was a shop soldier who was soaked, stumbled and rolled in from the door, but he didn't care about the blue face and said anxiously: "Futai, Dehua and Yongchun counties are in emergency, the river is pouring into the county, and the magistrate Jiang of Dehua county He has already died in the line of duty, and Yongchun County is also struggling to resist."
Zhang Gan suddenly stood up and said sharply, "Where is Nan'an?"
Dehua, Yongchun, and Nan'an are all in the same line. If something happens to Dehua and Yongchun, then Nan'an will only be worse!
Recently, Nan'an often sends newspapers every two days, listing the situation in the county in detail.However, the documents that should have arrived today came late, which undoubtedly made Zhang Gan even more worried.
Pu Bing shook his head, his lips were blue from the cold, "I haven't received any urgent report from Nan'an."
Chang Shi took a look at how the shop soldiers were frozen to the point of hypothermia, got up and tried to persuade him, "Mr. Zhang, let him go down to rest, so as not to get injured."
Zhang Gan waved his hand to let the shop soldiers go down, sat down again, and said in a low tone: "Dehua County and Yongchun County have both had accidents, and Nan'an cannot be avoided. Let's calculate according to the disasters in the three counties, and we need to send people to the counties immediately. Check the situation and provide timely relief. Do you have any suggestions?"
"After the flood, it is easy to cause illness, and it is necessary to send additional doctors to go together."
"Talents who know how to control water must be there to stop such a disaster, and the counties in various places do not have enough manpower, maybe we can ask Zhechong Mansion for help..."
"No, once a disaster happens, it's not about water control, but disaster relief! Things like water control can only be discussed later."
"The disasters caused everywhere may have to ask the court for permission to allocate money to distribute..."
Chang Shi, Sima, staff, etc. each had their own opinions, Zhang Gan heard one by one, and finally made a decision, and the troops were divided into four groups. Except for the three counties, they had to send someone to report the matter to the court.
He swallowed his hoarse throat, and only dared to inadvertently remember that he was bound to fail in this year's exam after the decision was made.It's just that such thoughts just flashed by, and soon he focused on the disaster in front of him.
If one is not handled well, it is not just the current situation.
...
Nan'an County.
On the embankment by the river, Yu Yu was no longer the only figure. Even Zheng Shouxuan, Liu Shizai and others were standing by the side in coir raincoats and cloaks, looking worriedly at the torrential river.
It is the night of the first day of the new year, but the rise in the water level is worrying.
The old pawn said in a loud voice: "Fortunately, a drainage was dug out yesterday, and now the diversion effect is not bad, and the water level is barely kept below the safety level. Maybe something happened to the two county towns above."
What he said doesn't really need to be verified.
In the early hours of last night, people from Yongchun County began to flee the disaster one after another. After a one-night trek, they arrived in Nan'an County on the first day of spring in the coming year.Because the number of refugees is not large, after discussing with the people from the county government, Zheng Shouxuan still allocated a site for the refugees to live there temporarily.
"Will the water level rise again?"
Jung Shou-hyun swallowed and said loudly.
On this roaring river, accompanied by the torrential rain, you have to shout loudly if you want to say something, otherwise you can't hear each other clearly.
The old pawn yelled back, "I don't know yet, I can only keep watching the water level!"
Zheng Shouxuan was a little startled.
When Yu Yu came to look for him that day, he didn't take it seriously. If he hadn't just met Liu He, he wouldn't have let go so easily.I never expected that such a subtle time difference would pass me by danger!
The reinforcement of the embankment and the detection of the water level had already been done under Yu Ji's orders, and after finding out the situation, the first thing he did when he returned to the county government was to ask for the evacuation of the people in the low-lying areas.
"If it's okay, it's just running around. But if there is water submerged, it will be troublesome to escape."
It is rare for Liu Shi to agree with Yu Yu's statement with a gloomy face, "That's exactly the case. Since there are refugees, it means that other places have already suffered disasters, so Nan'an must not fall down." After all, it was Yongchun who first arrived, but in the first day In the afternoon and evening, even Dehua County began to have disaster victims fleeing, which showed that the judgment of the old pawn and Yu Yu was correct.
Zheng Shouxuan was not ambiguous, and immediately sent someone to persuade him, especially Lizheng from each township took the lead.
When He Shou received the news, he braved the rain all night to persuade him, and the county government set up a special place for people to move out.The joy from New Year's Eve to spring disappeared completely, and the atmosphere of panic and worry in the county permeated, even the county government office could not stop comforting them.
"The victims of the disaster must be resettled, otherwise the plague may spread when the flood subsides." Yu Yu said firmly, "Prevention in advance cannot be spared."
Liu Shi frowned again, "How do you deal with it? Now most of the servants have been transferred to strengthen the embankment, and there is no way to spare them."
Yu Yu said lightly: "Why do we need to find more people? Aren't those refugees the most suitable candidates?" He tapped his finger on the map of the county, and calmly nodded, "Dehua and Yongchun were hit by disasters, and the county is restrained. The disaster victims have no shirking responsibility. However, if we have to bear everything, the burden on the county will be too heavy. Now that the county is responsible for the food of the disaster victims, how to clean up and dispose of the camp should also use these people."
Zheng Shouxuan glanced at Yu Yu thoughtfully, then nodded suddenly, "It's up to you to do this."
Yu Yu bowed and said, "The next official takes orders."
Liu Shi didn't take matters into his own hands.
Naturally, he could see the seriousness of the matter. If he could achieve a great reputation, but if he couldn't bear it, it would be even more troublesome to pursue the responsibility afterwards.If there is no matter of oil and water, Liu Shi will never go to the water again.
Instead, he took over the affairs of the riverside.
Zheng Shouxuan glanced at him, and seeing that Yu Yu had no objection, he nodded and said, "If you want to do it, then go for it."
After Liu Shi went first, Zheng Shouxuan said to Yu Yu: "You know what he is thinking, why do you let him go?" the benefits of.
Yu Yu said calmly: "If he is willing to do things seriously, it's not a bad thing. Since he wants to make a name for himself, he needs to work hard to do it. From this point alone, Liu Shi is a good candidate." After all, he has been in the county government for many years, and Yu Yu is no match for him in how to mobilize contacts.
Zheng Shouxuan shook his head with a smile, "Even if it is so, you are responsible for the previous achievements, and I will remember this for you."
Yu Yu bowed silently.
Zheng Shouxuan's overtures are undoubtedly implying to Yu Xuan that they are the ones standing together.
...
The sixth child stood guard outside the camp in panic.
His own sister married to Yongchun County in the early years. Although the distance is a bit far, they still have frequent contacts.As soon as the news of the flooding in Dehua County and Yongchun County came out, the sixth child was so anxious that he entered the county town early in the morning on the first day of the new year, trying to find traces of people outside the camps of the victims.
But there are people from the yamen outside the camp watching, so they can't easily enter.
It has been the fifth day since he kept watch.I can only see people coming in and out, but I don't know what's going on, or even what the people inside are like. I can only watch the refugees who are sent to the camp every day, hoping to see them inside. familiar faces.
It's just that the sixth child has not waited.
In the middle of the afternoon, he finally couldn't bear to sleep for two hours. When he woke up, he suddenly found that there seemed to be changes in the camp.Originally, the camps were all separated areas, but now people can be vaguely seen coming and going, and some people are even carrying axes and hoes, as if they are going to do work.
Lao Liu asked the people beside him in a daze, "What's going on? Did the camp let people in?"
The people around him were also sick and sympathetic like him, guarding outside the camp, hoping to see his brother who went out to do business, "In the afternoon, some official came to the Yamen and sent a batch of tools. , It seems to let the victims there do things?"
He frowned, "They were originally fleeing from outside, so asking them to do things, isn't it a bit too harsh?"
Lao Liu said: "Is that official tall and thin, with no expression on his face?"
The man nodded curiously, "Do you know that official? When did we have an official like that in our county?" He looked cold and heartless, which was scary.
The sixth child suddenly grinned, with a simple and clean smile, "I think it's all right. It must be a good thing that Captain Yu came forward to do it. Let them do things. Think about it, there is work in hand, right? I don’t have the strength to think about him anymore?” This is Lao Liu’s simple thought, if it’s time for spring plowing, no matter how worried he is, he still has to do spring plowing and transplanting rice seedlings, no matter how difficult it is, he will definitely be distracted to go.
The camp was a mess.
The hundreds or dozens of people in the nest all looked dull and numb, and occasionally weeping could be heard.Eating, drinking, excrement and other things are all in one place, exuding various peculiar smells.If it weren't for the frequent rain, I'm afraid it would be even more messy.
As soon as the county captain arrived, he forced people to open a special place for the reincarnation of grains, and they were not allowed to defecate at will.
As for the eating place, a clean site was chosen, and wooden houses for shelter from the wind and rain were built in the camp, and all the products were a batch of old wood donated by Shi Su.In addition, the warehouses of the county government are still a bit stale, so they can still live for the time being.
Ten days had passed since the planning of the camp had gradually been tidied up.
During these ten days, the number of refugees fleeing gradually increased.The situation in Dehua and Yongchun counties gradually became clear. When the river flooded in Dehua County that day, the Ming government was on the embankment, and the magistrate of Dehua County died directly.
The best moment for rescue and disaster relief was missed, resulting in many people drowning while waiting for rescue.The victims did not dare to stay there in panic, and many people fled overnight.The situation in Yongchun County is slightly better than that in Dehua. Because of the order of the county magistrate, it can be stabilized for the time being, but there are still many people who fled the area in the first two days.
After all, the county magistrate of Yongchun is also an ordinary person, and his behavior is a little loose, but it is not necessary at the moment.
Among them, most of the fleeing victims were diverted to Nan'an County.
After the number of victims exceeded [-], Yu Yu and Shi Su went to the rich merchants in the county to collect donations, and Shi Su circled among them. Except for Ding's family who contributed [-] Wen, the other families contributed some surplus food.Coupled with the Chen Liang of the county government, it can barely support another month.
Zheng Shouxuan urgently sent documents to the official newspaper, asking the state secretary for support.
The government stopped the servants that had been conscripted before, and all of them turned to work for the victims.In exchange for daily food, the government even encouraged the people in the county to hire disaster victims to do things. At this moment, it is really cheap to use the strong men who can be used as long as they are given rations.Of course, Yu Yu strictly forbids buying and selling people here, especially middle-aged people who change their children for food and buy and sell their children are closely watched, so don't let it prevail at this time.
Quanzhou is connected to the official newspaper sent by Nan'an County.
This request for help was naturally in their expectation, but it was different from the flood of victims who were worried at first. It was precisely Nan'an who took care of most of the victims in Dehua County and Yong'an County.
Zhang Gan knew about the situation in Nan'an on the third day after the disaster in the two counties, but he was still quite surprised by the current situation.He walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, and said to the shop soldier who delivered the letter: "You must know the situation in the county better than ordinary people. Who is doing things now?"
Before Pu Bing got up, "Mr. Zhang, there is a new county lieutenant in the county who is capable. He has been watching the flood in Nan'an and reported to the county government to dredge many tributaries and gaps. On New Year's Eve, the county A new river channel for diversion has just passed through. Now he is also in charge of the camps for victims of the disaster in the county.”
Zhang Gan was a little surprised that he spoke clearly.
As the governor, most of the counties he can remember are the county magistrates, but other officials really can't remember.The name Yu Yu sounds familiar somehow.But on New Year's Eve... Zhang Qian couldn't help frowning, but it was really a critical moment.
"You little shop soldier, you know the county lieutenant very well."
Pu Bing laughed, he was such a neat guy, "Mr. Zhang didn't know something. Before the county lieutenant came, our monthly wages were always paid very late, sometimes only once in March, or Half a month ago, there was a change in the county office. The wages that were several months late were paid together, and all the deductions were returned. With this change, the subordinates inquired about it and found out the cause and effect .” He may have read some books, and his speech is very clever, but it can also make people listen carefully.
All the elders present Sima looked at each other in blank dismay, laughing in their hearts that this shop soldier really has never seen the world, and such things are used to bother Zhang Gan.But after Zhang Gan finished listening, his brows relaxed, and he shook his head with a smile, "I know who this Yu Yu is... I can't complain, if it's the descendant of that person, it should be like this. Go on."
After the shop soldiers left, Zhang Qiancai said with a smile: "I don't think any of you are considerate of the people's feelings, and the people's livelihood is no small matter. It is very good for the county lieutenant to realize this. Whose descendant do you think he is?"
Sima frowned, "Yu's surname? Could it be the Yu family in Jiangnan?"
Zhang Gan stroked his beard and nodded, and said leisurely: "It is indeed from that family. Yu Gong can be said to be the person we should emulate. With his descendants in Nan'an County, there should be no accidents."
That long history shook his head, "Futai, if Yu Yu is the one I think of, then he is only in his twenties now, and this age is too young."
Zhang Gan laughed and scolded him, "When will you get rid of your old problem of only looking at age but not ability? I seem to remember who praised "On the False and the Real" that day? How do you know people's age and despise it?"
His smile lasted only for a moment, but it quickly subsided, and his expression was very serious. "It's a good thing that Nan'an County survives, but the disaster in Kedehua is serious, and Yongchun's handling is even more inappropriate. Nan'an County is originally a tight county. The population is not rich, so we can't put all the pressure on Nan'an County, Mr. Xu, Mr. Liu, I need to ask you two to go..."
"The food gap in Nan'an is temporarily covered by the state, and we have to send people there as soon as possible."
The lights in the state office were brightly lit all night long.
...
The rain started to stop.
In the second ten days of the first lunar month, when the coldness still persists, the rising sun is slightly thinner in the mist that is hard to blow away in spring, but it dries up the water stains on the ground, and the endless moisture begins to evaporate, and the tired little The people in the county government in January couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as it stops raining and the source of the winter flood disappears, the water will gradually fade away.
Yu Yu stood in front of the window, his face was translucently white, and he was reading an account book with his fingers.His eyes were as dark as ink, and he raised his hand to cover the title page and said softly, "Liu Shi has no choice but to get rid of it."
The food and grass distributed in the state was received by Liu Shi, and because the amount sent to the camp was approved by Yu Yu, the amount recorded on his end did not match the amount consumed by Liu Shi.
He closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows, which has become a habit in recent days.
Even reaching out for disaster relief food is simply insane!
Yu Yu put down the ledger and looked at the sun outside the window, a string that was tense in his heart was slowly loosened.
There are indeed a lot of victims who fled, but the victims who were resettled at the beginning spread the word to ten, ten to one hundred, and they were still obedient.After they got acquainted with work-for-relief, exchanging hard work for food became a rule.
When there are too many people, it is easy to cause friction. Most people's energy is spent on building dams and digging canals and paving roads in the county.
Although the final number exceeded Yu Yu's expectations, it has exceeded a thousand today.
After the implementation of the pre-prevention rules, although some of the victims sometimes get sick, the measures of timely isolation and follow-up doctors from the state are sufficient to deal with the sick victims.
He breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back a little shaky, and sat down on the seat.
Yu Yu was already thin, and after these days, his whole body was a little out of shape.Although his face is calm and indifferent, and he never shows his expression when things happen, it is dangerous for more than a thousand disaster victims to stay in Nan'an County for a long time. If he does not handle it properly, it will also lead to conflicts between the people of the county and the victims. .
Among them, dealing with wealthy businessmen is even more serious than that of Yamen.
Yu Yu has been in Nan'an for several months, and the fact that Liu He was beheaded made him quite dignified in the yamen. Although he had to tear up with Liu Shi in many ways, it was his job after all.Most of the wealthy businessmen in the county are on good terms with Liu Shi. To tear the meat from these people, although Shi Su is there to help, she is a woman after all, and she is not as respectable as Shi Zhuang. Walk like a swamp.
Fortunately, the support in Xuanzhou came in a timely manner, and the follow-up was smooth.
Half a month later, the water level of the Nan'an River dropped rapidly, reaching the usual level.And the victims who stayed here for more than a month also started to leave, intending to return to the old place.
Although Dehua County and Yongchun County were severely affected by the disaster, Quanzhou repeatedly sent people to help and finally stabilized the situation.Although the land has been flooded, spring plowing has not yet been done. Perhaps the spring plowing in Dehua County and Yongchun County will come later this year, but they can still be planted.
This is perhaps the greatest consolation right now.
...
Outside the camp, Lao Liu took his family and his sister's family to say goodbye.
His sister fled the county on the day of the disaster, but because her brother lived in Nan'an County, she went directly to Nan'an County when she left.Just happened to rub shoulders with Lao Liu, and only met Lao Liu after staying in the camp for more than ten days.
It's just that all the victims need to be registered on the roster, and they cannot live outside when they stay in the camp, and the sixth child cannot take their family back.It's just that the county government settled in time, so there's no need to worry.
After the tide receded, the younger sister's family still planned to go back.Escaping is one thing, but wherever the root is, you have to go back.
"If you need my help with something, you must ask." Lao Liu shook his brother-in-law's hand up and down.The brother-in-law is also a simple and honest farmer, who squinted his eyes and nodded repeatedly with a smile.
Such farewells were frequently staged outside the camp.
Zheng Shouxuan accompanied the people from the state department to explore the camp, and the middle-aged man whom he called Mr. He smiled and nodded, "Zheng Mingfu, everything in this county is safe and sound, you have made a great contribution this time. "
Zheng Shouxuan smiled happily, and declined, "This is also Zhang Gong's love. If it wasn't for the quick response in the state and the timely delivery of food, Nan'an County would not be able to last so long."
Mr. He waved his hand, "This has something to do with Nan'an. In early November, the official newspaper sent by Nan'an mentioned the possibility of heavy rain and winter floods many times, which aroused Mr. Zhang's vigilance."
Zheng Shouxuan's face was slightly stiff, but he didn't know what Mr. He said.Obviously, this Mr. He regarded this incident as his doing, and it was all his credit.And Zheng Shouxuan thought about it, and the only person in this county who could do such a thing was probably Yu Yu.Only with his straight temper, would he not be afraid of taboos, and point out such possible disasters.
After all, in the official circles, if someone nags about such disasters in advance, it will get a good reputation if it happens... But if it doesn't work, it will be false rumors to confuse the public and disturb the hearts of the people!
And now seeing Mr. He's full of praise, it is naturally a good thing.
Zheng Shouxuan thought about it in his heart, the name of embankment and water control was taken by Liu Shi again, and now the good reputation built by the camp is also regarded as his Zheng Shouxuan's political achievements.
It made Yu Yu look a little empty, he thought generously, the report could not cover up Yu Yu's achievements.
"If my guess is correct, it should be the county lieutenant who notified the matter." Zheng Shouxuan said with a smile, "Although he is young, he can be regarded as a young gentleman who can do things quickly."
Mr. He raised his eyebrows interestingly, "Who is the county lieutenant's name?"
Zheng Shouxuan said, "Yu Yu."
Mr. He looked slightly startled, and nodded with a smile, "Good name." He couldn't help rubbing his fingers behind his back.
...
Yu Yu, who was in the county office at this time, resisted the itch of his nose, and said to Xu Qing, "How is that man?"
Xu Qingdao: "In the first few days, he refused to speak, even when Cheng Erding went to press him for questioning. But recently, Cheng Erding has used some tricks, as if to pry it open."
Yu Yu nodded and said, "It just so happens that today is fine, so let's go and have a look first."
He went to the stables himself.
These days of running back and forth, coupled with the non-stop rain, Hong Bodhi was extremely impatient in the stable, and the horses in the same pen were all frightened by Hong Bodhi, so they had to be pulled away to live elsewhere.Only the docile little donkey didn't know whether it was intimidated or really familiar with it. It was trembling with the red-maned horse, and after a few days of loose stools, it really got used to it.
When Yu Yu went to lead the horse, Hong Bodhi grabbed his cuff aggrievedly.
He stretched out his hand to pat her temples, and sighed lowly: "Good girl, when I rest, I'll take you out for a run or two." Yu Yu paused, as if he felt that the word "waiting" was not very good, "Tomorrow."
Red Bodhi was finally happy.
In fact, he didn't need to take the horse for a trip today, after all, the distance was not too far, but Yu Yu remembered that Hong Bodhi had been imprisoned for a long time, so he took her out for a walk.
When Yu Yu went out, someone from the county government followed after a while.
And after him, someone chased after him.
It can be said that the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
After seven turns and eight bends, Yu Yu stopped at a place in Shitou Lane.
That was exactly where Xu Liu originally lived.
Cheng Erding has been living here for a few days, along with Xu Liu who was captured by them.
Yu Yu took the red-maned horse and knocked on the door three times unhurriedly. After a while, Cheng Erding came out to answer the door and let Mr. Lang in.After he closed the door, he said to Mr. Lang: "Mr. Lang, that man has already said something, do you intend to listen to it or interrogate yourself?"
Yu Yu let go of the rein and let the red-maned horse go for a stroll, "You've already asked a little bit, why do you have to repeat it?"
Cheng Erding clasped his fists and said, "The man only talked about some trivial matters for the time being, but admitted that he was indeed sent to observe the water regime of Nan'an River."
Yu Yu pondered, "I remember that he arrived in Nan'an County in late October. In October...the county just rained for four or five days, so he came a little early."
Cheng Erding said: "He refuses to reveal any more, but from my observation, he must have a deeper purpose."
Yu Yu took a step forward, and after taking two steps, he found that he couldn't move much. He lowered his head and saw a horse's head stretched out at some point, biting Yu Yu's cuff aggrievedly.
This is a bit distorted.
Reluctantly, Yu Yu retreated back to the side of the red-maned horse, laying on the good girl's ear to comfort her for a long time, and then Hong Bodhi reluctantly let go of her teeth.
Then he grabbed Cheng Erding's sleeve instead.
Cheng Erding:?
Yu Yu was able to escape, with a smile in his eyes as he walked with his head down, and stepped up the steps.
Xu Liu was detained in the woodshed in the backyard.
Perhaps the firewood room was rarely opened, and it smelled a little decayed.When Yu Yu opened the door and went in, he happened to see Xu Liu who was standing tied up, his eyes were not blindfolded.Yu Yu was seen by him as soon as he entered the door, and he was obviously surprised.
"County lieutenant...how could it be you?!"
Xu Qing couldn't believe it.
He remembered Yu Yu.
At that time, it was because the officials in the punishment room arrested the suspects without reporting to the Ming government, and Yu Yu severely reprimanded them.But now... the county captain who valued the regulations the most actually sent someone to arrest him in private, and even lynched him to extract a confession!
"You, you can be said to be strict with others and treat yourself leniently!"
Yu Yu knew what he meant by moving his eyes slightly. He nodded and said, "You are right. I ordered you to be arrested."
Xu Liu narrowed her eyes slightly, "What exactly do you want to do?"
His face was pale, and he seemed to have been tormented half to death by Cheng Erding in the past few days, but he firmly guarded Yu Yu's boundaries and did not really hurt Xu Liu.Otherwise, according to Cheng Erding's method, Xu Liu would have to cut off a few fingers now.
Yu Yu walked slowly in front of him, and said indifferently: "I'm just curious about these days, why do you travel frequently to explore Nan'an River? Is it really out of ordinary curiosity, or is there something hidden in it?"
"Am I willing to?" Xu Liu gritted his teeth, "Can't I worry about the problem of skyrocketing water?"
"Of course." Yu Yu nodded, and said unhurriedly: "But there is a degree of curiosity and worry. Your registration was in late October. At that time, the Nan'an River was calm. And you have been in the county since the day you entered the county. Constantly going back and forth to observe for more than a month... Is this also curiosity? Is it also worry?"
Xu Liu's brows trembled slightly, but his face remained unchanged, "Naturally."
"Then why did you rush out of the county on New Year's Eve?" Yu Yu asked.
"When will ordinary people have to get permission from the government to enter and leave the county?" Xu Liu sarcastically said, looking eager to eat meat on Yu Yu's body.
Yu Yu said calmly, "Of course there is no need, but if it is a fake, then of course a strict search is required."
When Xu Liu was arrested at first, she thought her deeds had been revealed. When Cheng Erding pressed her for many times, she kept biting her to death and didn't speak. She only said some insignificant words.But at the moment when he saw Yu Yu, he thought that he had offended Yu Yu privately. After all, this kind of private behavior was really not proper.However, every question Yu Yu asked seemed to be speaking from the standpoint of an official, and it seemed that he had guessed wrong... He narrowed his eyes slightly, "The fault? My fault was opened by the county magistrate, how could it be Fake?"
Yu Yu smiled and shook his head, "It's wrong, if you really went through the office, you should know that the office was approved by the state department, and the county is only for identity verification, and it is not up to you whether to open it or not."
Xu Liu suddenly stopped talking.
Yu Yu stroked his sleeves and casually paced back and forth, "There is little rain in Quanzhou in winter, not to mention the continuous torrential rain. Therefore, the counties are slacking off. You are so concerned about the situation of Nan'an River, it can be said that you are worried. It can also be called observation. And who are the people who occasionally contact you? What good is it if there are frequent disasters here? Once the Nan'an River breaks its embankment, floods will occur frequently. Once the flood is severe, it will easily lead to plague, and Quanzhou It is located in a remote place, even if the imperial court is required to provide disaster relief, it will take a long time for the news to go back and forth, and if there is a slight discrepancy in the middle, the people will be in dire straits."
The county lieutenant made a long speech in front of Xu Liu, but his face was still calm, as if what he was saying was nothing more than the most common nagging, "If there is a civil disaster, there will be public grievances. When there are public grievances, chaos will appear. If there is chaos, there will be chaos...Xu Liu, if someone wants to take advantage of this situation to send troops, isn't this the most suitable time?
Xu Liu was terrified.
It's just an omission with a slight mistake, and Yu Yu has already deduced it so far?
He dare not admit it.
Xu Liu couldn't recognize it.
He was about to speak, but Yu Yu shook his head at him, "I don't need an answer."
He came to Quanzhou and Nan'an County for a reason.
Otherwise, there are thousands of reasons, why would Yu Yu guess this?
He wasn't really a genius after all.
Yu Yu stood still in the middle of the firewood room, and said calmly: "Actually, I have explored your thoughts out of curiosity. Unless you really have the idea of fighting for the interests of the people as you said, that is understandable." .Otherwise, if you miss the troubled times, you can only dormant. It is not wrong for heroes to compete for the world. But if you just want to replace the current saints and recreate the emperor, then it is wrong."
"We are!" Xu Liu calmed down on the contrary, he knew that what should be exposed had already been exposed, "Why is the aristocratic family so high, but the common people can only crawl on the ground in poverty? This is nothing but the exploitation of the common people by the aristocratic family! What you do is to liberate the people! Liberate the world!"
Yu Yu rubbed his fingertips expressionlessly.
Some words are too familiar.
It was as if I had read it in A Niang's book.
But it is impossible for Xu Liu and A Niang to have a relationship...then...
His silence only made Xu Liu more serious, "You can pass the imperial examination at this age and become a county lieutenant. But most of the poor people who are the same age as you can only work in the fields, and they don't know what is going on in the world. There are other ways to live! Is this fair?"
"It's not fair."
Yu Yu said.
He looked at Xu Liu's flushed face, and his hoarse voice was extremely indifferent, and Yu Yu brushed the hideous scar on his wrist, "It's not fair." He repeated.
"But this is not the reason for you to watch the disaster happen!"
Yu Yu took a step forward and looked at Xu Liu with piercing eyes, "Not to mention, there is a reason behind it to fuel the flames!"
Dehua, the disaster situation in Yongchun can be said to be full of grief.
"Those who achieve great things don't care about small things!" Xu Liu poked his neck.
Yu Yu took out the old hatchet from the pyre, and clamped the rusted edge on Xu Liu's neck, "Then why don't you sacrifice yourselves first?" He looked at Xu Liu indifferently, "Whoever achieves great things, You must first sacrifice your life and forget about death, and plead for the lives of the people. Sacrifice is only a small number, how about starting with you?"
Although the edge of the knife was rusted, marks were still left. Xu Liu couldn't help staring at the hatchet that cut into the flesh, and panicked, "You, are you going to kill me?"
Yu Yu tilted his head, his eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and he outlined a fierce wind and frost. He said in a cold voice: "Everything to be accomplished requires someone who takes the lead. I think that the people behind you will appreciate your dedication, and they never revealed it until death." Reveal a little bit of secrets.
"Yes, they should thank you."
The edge of the knife is raised.
