Chapter 163 Welcome to try the knife
"Brother, what should we do now? Lao Tong is dead. Our clues are broken. How can we find another wave of people who want to kill you?"
Looking at Li Chengqian, Li Zhan said 'um': "Don't worry, take your time as long as we know the problem, it is only a matter of time to solve the problem.
Now you can find some craftsmen to build houses for me first, and I want to develop Dunhua House."
"Develop Dunhuafang?" Li Chengqian was not sure what development meant.
Li Zhan said with a hint: "That's right, the planning of Dunhuafang is really bad now. I want to change Dunhuafang into three parts, one commercial area, two residential area, and three workshop area.
I also want to turn the dirt roads in Dunhuafang into cement roads. I will no longer be afraid of mud when it rains. I also want the workers in Dunhuafang to live in three-story high-rise buildings. Haha, in short, you will see a modern Dunhuafang."
"Brother, you're too profound, I don't understand." Li Chengqian shook his head in discomfort.
Li Zhan smiled and said, "You will understand, just wait until I develop Dunhuafang!"
"Okay, I'll help my brother find some craftsmen who build houses." Li Chengqian laughed
Just when Li Chengqian and Li Zhan were in Dunhuafang, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were together in the palace. The two were talking and laughing. Empress Changsun mentioned Li Zhan many times and was very grateful for Li Zhan's blocking the arrow for Empress Changsun this time.
During the conversation with Li Shimin, Empress Changsun seemed particularly close to Li Zhan. She asked a lot about Li Zhan and hoped that if she could, Li Shimin could take care of Li Zhan.
For Empress Changsun, a request for care is already a very positive expression.
Li Shimin also nodded one by one and said yes. At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly came in and said that Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng jointly met with each other, which made Li Shimin smell a bad feeling.
After Li Shimin came to Ganlu Palace to see Changsun Wuji and others.
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng first met Li Shimin. Following Changsun Wuji, he told about this trip. A steep ridge broke the dike in Hongtong County, Chang'an, within a radius of 100 miles, will be ravaged by floods.
This time, it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than 50,000 victims. Zhou Shiren, the magistrate of Hongtong County, asked the court for rescue.
"How many deaths?" Li Shimin asked as he looked at Changsun Wuji.
At this time, Changsun Wuji replied: "The death toll is not more than a thousand, because the county magistrate of Hongtong County resisted the news early. When the dam was broken, the people in the county went to the high ground and reduced casualties.
But if there is no food, the casualties will be even greater!"
"Well, the magistrate of Hongtong County, Zhou Shiren, made contributions to saving the people. He will first commend the disaster. After the disaster, the Ministry of Personnel will allocate another 500,000 guan of money to a higher level and a hundred thousand bans of grain to rescue the victims!"
"Abide by the order!"
The next day, Li Shimin's decree came to Hongtong County. Looking at the decree in his hand, Zhou Shiren was very happy. He laughed loudly at his master and said, "Look, what I said is fine, and I will make a big profit, 500,000 jin and 100,000 tanga of grain.
We sent it this time.”
"Congratulations to Ming Gong for his higher level of promotion after the disaster!"
The master's flattering words made Zhou Shiren smile proudly and said, "Don't worry, no matter where I go, I will bring you with me. The money and food will arrive soon.
After you arrive, you will exchange 100,000 dan of grain for wheat bran.”
Wheat bran is the wheat peel. The seed coat sieves the wheat after grinding the flour is the outer skin, mainly fiber, paste powder, some minerals and vitamins are sweet and cool in nature, which can restrain sweat.
It is the worst part of wheat. In ancient times, it was given to livestock. Of course, some livestock do not eat, such as cows and horses!
Zhou Shiren's words made the master smile: "Don't worry, I know what to do, but should I share this money with the Cui family?"
"We need not only divisions, but also divisions. Who makes us not a noble family?" Zhou Shiren sighed helplessly.
"I know Mr. Ming, then I'll do it now!" The master hurriedly left.
After the flood, a large number of refugees came to Hongtong County to pray for asylum. Zhou Shiren asked refugees to stay in a place outside the county, and then surrounded the refugees with heavy troops.
Wang Dali, Zhuzi and others from Tiancun were surrounded here. Because they were guarded by heavy troops, they couldn't even get out.
Under a simple tent, Wang Dali sighed and said, "It would be great if I didn't come here, so I could go to Chang'an. Who knew that Zhou Shiren was so cunning. He said that there was a porridge farm that tricked us here, and then he used heavy troops to ban us."
"Murama, I heard that the court has come to rescue. As long as we eat our stomachs, we will find a way to help you escape. Zhou Shiren is not a good person. He has harmed so many of us. We must let his crimes go to the sky." Zhuzi said angrily.
When Zhuzi finished speaking, everyone supported Zhuzi's words.
Wang Dali, who was on the other hand, also agreed: "Okay, don't worry. As long as I can go out here, I will definitely be able to listen to Zhou Shiren's crimes."
At this moment, a man outside shouted: "It's time to eat!"
Wang Dali brought the people of Liantian Village out, and other villages also brought their villagers to the front of the porridge pot to wait for the porridge to eat. However, when all the people saw the wheat bran boiled in the porridge pot, all the people were upset.
"What is this? These are all wheat bran. Is this for people to eat?"
A commoner shouted loudly.
Then, the people shouted loudly: "I have heard that you all have enough money for your own pockets. Your Majesty issued an order to allocate 500,000 dan and 100,000 dan of grain. You are so unscrupulous that you exchanged grain for wheat bran for us to eat.
How cruel are you?"
"What is your Majesty allocating 500,000 dan and 100,000 dan of grain? You actually gave us wheat bran. Are you still human beings!"
Finally, the people were angry and questioned the servants angrily.
But the officers looked indifferent, and the leader-in-chief laughed and said, "Okay, the people are not hungry. Since they are not hungry, then don't eat it. Take the porridge pot back for me."
After saying that, a group of yamen runners brought back all the pots with wheat bran.
I watched the yamen runners really take away the pot.
"You want us to die!" The people were all excited.
Some impulsive people rushed in front and wanted to steal the porridge pots. At this moment, the captains, yamen runners, and the soldiers around them all pulled out the swords around their waists.
In the captain's words "Kill me for me", everyone rushed towards the unarmed people without hesitation, slashed and killed at least fifty people, and kept killing the people for fear of killing.
After the blood flowed into a river, all the people squatted down and hugged their heads and shivered, the captain took back the bloody waist knife and laughed and said, "The drowned victims have added more dissatisfactions. Anyway, a flood can drown more people. Welcome to try whether my knife is fast or not!"
