Vol 4 Chapter 140: There is always a way to survive

The first 40 chapters always have a way to survive

Only the first line along the Yellow River can be relocated near Longzhong.

Speaking of it, the Yellow River has flowed for more than 500 miles in Longzhong, but it has not brought much benefit to this land. The valley here is deep and the water is rushing. The Yellow River flows turbulently below the valley, and the valley is still bare, occasionally there will be one or two. The short trees stand under the blue sky, making this place even more desolate.

People can only cultivate a little water in the deep canyon, and this broken river floods once every three to five. Although the violent river water can't wash out of the valley, it is enough to wash away a little land that people have worked so hard to cultivate in the valley. .

The land here is broken, as if God had raked it with a rake.

In such an environment, even the tunes sung by the shepherds are more sad and bitter than the tunes of other places.

Such an environment is not suitable for humans to live in, but because of government, war and other factors, the people choose this place where even the bandits can't support them to survive.

The first element of peace in the world is not to make people afraid of officials.

People in many places are afraid to see officials, and seeing officials is tantamount to paying taxes.

Fortunately, the new official didn’t seem to call for taxes, and even gave his clothes to the local people. Although a big girl wore the county magistrate’s blue robe, it was unreasonable, but after the wind blew, the light blue shirt It will be posted on the body, and people still find that the girl has grown up.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chuyu couldn't restrain himself in sorrow.

There has been a severe drought for three years.

Many times, people stand on the mountain beams guarding the scorched seedlings, watching the heavy rain pouring in the distance, but unfortunately, the clouds walked on the terraces, but soon the clouds and the rain closed, and a red sun hung in the sky again, hot and hot The scorching of the earth, only the wind can bring a trace of moisture.

It's July, and Baogu is only human knees high, but it has already blossomed, but the place where Baogu should be long is not as good as a child's arm.

The buckwheat is still blooming with pale pink flowers, which are sparsely sparsely populated. If it is full of hillsides, it will be a beautiful scenery.

"Old man, I'm leaving..."

Zhang Chuyu put a pinch of tea he had brought into the old man's black fist-sized black clay pot.

The old man poured a little water into the tea pot, then looked at the flames and licked the bottom of the earthen pot. Soon, the tea boiled. Zhang Chuyu declined the old man’s persuasion. The old man was not welcome, so he poured the brown tea into one. While the pottery bowl was hot, pursing a little bit.

"The water here is not good."

The old man quickly drank the sip of tea and looked at Zhang Chuyu with a pair of cloudy eyes.

"The Yellow River water is delicious."

Zhang Chuyu squatted on the ground and shook his knees back and forth.

"We're gone, what about the ancestors?"

"The ancestors didn't drink water, the living people wanted to drink water."

"This Zhuangzi has been a jinshi."

"Well, I've been out, and I've been out six, but they left after becoming a Jinshi, and never came back."

Zhang Chuyu stared at a bird squatting on his kettle with a long beak trying to drink.

This bird is stupid and doesn't know how to throw pebbles into the kettle to make the water overflow the mouth of the kettle.

He took the kettle and poured a little water into the palm of his hand. The black bird unexpectedly drank the water in Zhang Chuyu's hand and kept screaming to Zhang Chuyu...

"The water in the cellar is not enough for people to drink... The old cows were thirsty and knelt on the ground to beg for help... If you don't leave, there will be no way to survive. You have been asking God for thirty days, and God gave a little drizzle... …follow me."

The old man looked at Zhang Chuyu and smiled, waved his hand and said, "You can live by going out?"

Zhang Chuyu lowered his head and looked at the ground and said: "I will take you to beg for dinner."

The old man laughed even harder, and looked at Zhang Chuyu and said, "The meal requested there can fill more than 20,000 people?"

Zhang Chuyu said, "Baiyinchang is very rich. They don't grow grain if they have a lot of land. They have switched to tobacco. But Baiyinchang is very rich at the first word of its name."

The old man laughed harder when he heard the words, and grabbed Zhang Chuyu's white hands with his dry and rough hands and said: "Baby, eight years ago, Baiyinchang killed a group of more than 700 monk Liang in one breath.

Monk Liang can kill a cow with one punch. You don't have this skill, right? "

Zhang Chuyu smiled and said, "I am an official."

The old man shook his head and said, "There are some princes in the imperial court who grow cigarettes in Tiaocheng, you can't afford it."

Zhang Chuyu smiled and said: "Coincidentally, in my Lantian, the people can't afford to provoke it. It is not a big problem to provoke the prince."

The old man finally glanced at Zhang Chuyu and said, "I can't do anything, I can only rebel with you."

Zhang Chuyu laughed and said, "You will find that following me down this drought is the most right thing you did."

The old man shook his head and said, "Monk Liang said the same thing back then. If you followed him down the mountain, you might be able to beat the officers and soldiers of the Baiyin Factory if there were more people."

Zhang Chuyu declined to comment on this most prestigious squire’s evaluation of the Baiyinchang guards. Baiyinchang is a place where copper, silver, and gold are produced. Among them, the output of copper and silver accounted for 40% of the Lantian warehouse. A battalion of 800 lieutenants was stationed.

It was these 800 people who had put an end to the armed rebellion in the snowy area within 20 days and dealt with more than 20,000 women and children in Huining County...

If Zhang Chuyu himself persuaded the people to move and let him go, it would be almost impossible, but if the poor local squires talked about it, it would be easy to do.

In the three years of the drought, even this squire can only use a little tea and elm leaves to cook his favorite pot of tea. It can be seen how bad the situation here is.

Can't wait for the permit issued by the imperial court. If you wait any longer, people will start to die here, not starved to death, but thirst to death. It's impossible to get a little water by walking thirty miles of mountain roads.

Everyone is waiting for the rainy season in July to replenish the water cellar. Unfortunately, ten days have passed since July this year. There were two rains, but none of them made the land completely soaked.

People should live by water and weeds, not just herders, but farmers as well.

When I was in Yushan Academy, the gentlemen in the academy had begun to systematically teach the significance of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River to the Han people.

Therefore, Zhang Chuyu felt that there was nothing wrong with moving closer to the water.

As for begging for food, it was just his rhetoric. He didn't believe that the Baiyin Factory and the tobacco-growing manors near Tiaocheng would watch them starve to death?

If the fat and oily Yun clan members who grow tobacco dared to ignore the victims, Zhang Chuyu would dare to bring the servants from Huining County to attack their manor and open the grain depot to find food to eat.

Isn't the worst result being grabbed and beheaded?

It's no big deal.

Yun Changfeng, the chief manager of the Baiyin Factory, sighed uncontrollably while rubbing his brows.

Zhang Chuyu had come here to borrow food twice, and he had lent it as usual. Now, this guy is too hateful, and he has to bring more than 20,000 mouthfuls to eat near the silver factory.

This is a threat, this is his mother's rebellion.

Lieutenant Liu Da of Tiaocheng sat beside him and drank tea quietly. He also heard the news, but he was not anxious at all. He sat steadily, and it seemed that he already had his own opinion.

"School Wei Liu, tell me what you think."

Liu Da blew the foam on the teacup and said: "I have never heard of my Lantian officials with a full team and an unarmed rebellion with all the people. There was a drought in Huining for three years. In order to ensure that the people there drink water, I sent a workhorse. The team has not come back yet.

If you are talking about the rebellion, are my subordinates and the people in the Supervision Department all dead?

Can't live anymore.

Let's quickly figure out how to resettle these victims. Your Majesty will not allow me to starve to death. I squeeze out some rations, and Tiaocheng will also give out some food. The bulk of it will fall on you.

This year, you must not worry about the cost issue. I believe that your majesty will not consider this issue. First save people, and then consider the issue of whether your silver factory makes money or not.

I'll leave after drinking tea. It's a full four hundred miles from Huining to Baiyinchang. Old and weak women and children can't go that far. I came to you to borrow a carriage. "

As the supreme officer of Tiaocheng Land, Yun Changfeng thought for a long time, but after all he sent 800 li to Tianshui and Lantian to expedite, and after filing with the prefect of Tianshui Mansion and Guoxiang Mansion, it was just as Liu Da said. In that way, we started preparing food and clothes.

With this sudden incident, it is impossible for Baiyin Factory to show its face above the imperial court this year.

However, if there are more than 20,000 more people in the silver factory, it is not a bad thing. After all, there are always not enough miners in the six mines...plus more than 4,000 miners are strong men. , If you don't marry them a wife, there will be a mess.

Earlier, some miners had gone to the brothel in Huizhou to look for women in groups, but their mothers had killed them, causing these strong guys to go to the brothel, and the old bustards would not allow them to enter.

"Master, you can build a textile workshop here. As long as you collect all the wool here, you can arrange for a lot of girls to come in and work, and the concubine can do it well."

Yun Changfeng glanced at his wife and said, "If you have nothing to do on weekdays, don't go to the factory and wander around ~ www.readwn.com~ You can't see those **** looking at you like wolves."

Yun Liu smiled and said: "Wool textiles are not secreted by Yushan Academy. Our family wants to touch this thing on weekdays. The difference is too far. This time, my concubine feels that I can find many queens to open the back door once."

Yun Changfeng coughed: "Don't bother me with housework."

Yun Liu smiled slightly and pinched Yun Changfeng’s sore shoulders and said, “I know that you are a clean and honest elder, and that your Yun family has many rules, but since it’s a good thing, we might as well open the door a little bit. Seam, leaking a little money and food will save those poor people."

Yun Changfeng looked back at his wife and said, "When you return to the Zhuangzi, you must remember to go to the mansion and kowtow to your ancestors first, and explain things here clearly to your ancestors at home. Don't dare to hide anything.

Our ancestors allowed our family to open this textile workshop, and we would open it. If it is not allowed, you should shut up immediately, go home and see that your parents and children will come back in the autumn after two months. "
