914.Chapter 914: The Flood (1)
Xu Wu brought good news to Yuxi: "Princess, the batch of grain we purchased from Jiangnan has arrived in Shiyan, and it will be transported to the northwest in a few days." [--There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's faster than the general station.,There's no advertising in the whole text.] ]ā
It only costs half a tael of silver and one stone to buy grain in Jiangnan. Buying grain from Han Yuxi costs two taels and one stone. He Zhizhang is not stupid, how could he make this deal. He Zhizhang wanted to deduct this batch of grain, but Yunqing transferred 50,000 elite soldiers to the junction, putting on a posture that He Zhizhang would send troops if he dared to swallow his grain. He Zhizhang was a timid and fearful person, so he naturally obediently let the grain cross the border.
Yuxi hummed and said: "Flying pigeons send a message, let them cross the Hubei territory as much as possible, and it will change later." "Once there is a flood in Jiangnan, no matter how timid He Zhizhang is, he will swallow this batch of grain.
Although Yunqing put on a posture of starting a war, Yuxi was not willing to fight at this time. As long as the grain crosses Hubei and reaches the northwest border, there is no need to worry.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay." ā
Yun Qing walked into the study with a tired face and discussed something with Yuxi: "Yuxi, the palace has enough water, I want to draw out the well water from the two wells in the back garden and distribute it to the people to drink." "The original design was ingenious, and the lake in the back garden was drained by a lot of money. Although the Heihe, Bahe, and Feng rivers are almost dry now, the water in Pingxi Wangfu is not worried for the time being. Especially the two wells near the back garden, only one is enough for hundreds of people in the entire palace to drink.
Yuxi was silent and said, "Now we don't know when the drought will end. If there is no water in the palace by then, do you know the consequences?"
Yunqing said: "Yuxi, it's late August now, and it will definitely rain in September." As long as you survive this more than half a month, it's fine. "The palace has plenty of water, but many people outside are dying of thirst, and he feels a little uncomfortable.
Yuxi was not so optimistic, and said: "Have you thought about it, once there is no rain in September and the water in the palace is drained, what will happen at that time? Do you still want the guards of the palace to find water for us every day? If the palace has to run around for water and drinking water, what do you want the people below to think?" When the time comes, it will inevitably cause panic. ā
Yun Qing was silent and said, "It's because I didn't think about it thoroughly. I won't talk about it again. ā
Yuxi was also very uncomfortable, and said with a bitter face: "I also hope that God can rain quickly, but we must also prepare for the worst." In this way, the damage can be minimized. ā
Yun Qing nodded and said nothing more.
Yuxi was very strange about this, and immediately called Xu Wu over and said, "You go and check, who built the prince to open the two mouthfuls of water in the back garden to the people?"
Xu Wu was startled and asked, "The prince is going to open the two wells in the back garden, when is this happening?" Hearing that it was morning, Xu Wu frowned and said, "Don't worry, princess, I will do my best to find out about this." ā
Yuxi said: "I think the person who built this yƬ has bad intentions, and this person must be found out." "Yuxi is not a ruthless person, if she can, she is naturally willing to let go of these two wells for the people to use. But the reality does not allow it, let go of these two wells, in case of another drought for another month or two, the consequences will be very severe. Even if it wasn't for herself, she didn't dare to take risks for the sake of a few children.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, princess, I will definitely find out this person." "There are only a few people on the left and right, and it's still easy to find out.
It didn't take an hour for Xu Wu to find out that it was Gao Song who had given Yunqing this proposal.
Xu Wu didn't confront Gao Song, but just fed back the matter to Yuxi truthfully: "It's confirmed, it's Gao Song." ā
Yuxi's expression was very ugly, and he said, "Doesn't he know that this is an extraordinary time, and he dares to mention such a construction with endless troubles?" If she could let go of the two wells in the back garden, and wait for Gao Song to speak, she would have done it a long time ago.
Xu Wu was silent and said: "Gao Song may have seen that the people outside were really difficult, so he ...... it" He couldn't say anything later. Gao Song did this, as if he was concerned about the life and death of the people, and everyone else was a hard-hearted person who would not save him when he saw death.
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "Let this be put in advance, don't let the prince know." "Gao Song is a subordinate trusted by Yunqing, and unless he finds the right opportunity, he can't be transferred to Yunqing's side.
In the past few years, because she has been in power, some generals under Yunqing's command have great hostility towards her. thinks that she is noisy and steals the limelight and glory of Yunqing. It is also because she has worked hard in the past few years, vigorously developed agriculture, and the conditions in the army have also been greatly improved, which has made this hostility dissipate a lot. However, there are still a small number of people who are very dissatisfied with her, and always slander her in front of Yunqing. For this part of the people, Yuxi didn't want to deal with them, but she was afraid that she would affect her whole body, so she kept holding back. But these things have always been in her heart, and when the right opportunity comes, she will make these people pay.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay." ā
Two days later, news came from Jiangnan that three provinces, including Jiangxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu, had been raining heavily for several days, and many prefectures and counties had already experienced waterlogging.
After Xu Wu reported the news to Yuxi, he couldn't help but say to Yuxi: "Princess, if this rain falls in our northwest, how good it would be!" It feels like God is deliberately playing tricks!
Yuxi's expression was very ugly, and he said, "I'm worried that there will be floods in Jiangnan. "It's not that I'm worried, it's that there will be flooding. The embankments that the imperial court spent so much money on were all piled up with waste materials such as broken slag. A few days ago, the wind and rain were good, so nothing happened, but now when the flood comes, the levee has to collapse.
Xu Wu's face turned pale and said: "It's only rained for three days, so there won't be floods, right?" Jiangnan is a major grain producing area, and if there is another flood, it will really be mournful all over the country.
Yuxi said, "Prepare for the worst!"
Xu Wu knew that Yuxi would not say these words for no reason, and since he opened his mouth, he must have some confidence. Xu Wu immediately said: "Princess, you have to give Xu Zhen Feige an order immediately and ask him to send troops to receive that batch of grain." ā
Yuxi asked: "According to speculation, how many days will this batch of grain reach the northwest territory?" Hearing that there are still about six days, Yuxi nodded and said, "When the prince comes back, I will let him give the order." "Yuxi will ask about the miscellaneous things in the army, but Yuxi will not touch the matter of dispatching troops. First, she doesn't know how to fight, and secondly, it is to avoid suspicion.
Han Jianming dragged his tired body back home, and all the officials were busy during this time. finally came back and wanted to rest well, but was disturbed by the Ye family.
Ye Shi said to Han Jianming with red eyes: "Master, Tingting is dying of illness, I want to take her back for treatment." When I got the news that my little daughter was sick and dying, Ye cried. She wanted to send someone to pick up the child and go home, but Han Gao refused when she got the news.
Han Jianming quickly reacted and asked, "When did you find that child?"
Ye didn't dare to hide it from Han Jianming, and said: "I found it at the end of last year." I beg you, sir, take the child back!"
Han Jianming said with a cold face: "What I told you at the time, didn't you take it as a deaf ear?" Or do you think my words can be changed day and night?" Since he said that he couldn't recognize this child, he wouldn't let this child enter the house. What's more, this so-called Tingting is still a fake.
Ye cried and said, "Master, Tingting is our daughter, she is going to die now......"
Han Jianming had completely lost patience with her, and said, "If you want to take care of her, then leave the Han Mansion!" Moreover, if you don't cut off Ye's thoughts, it will be endless in the future.
For the Ye family, this is equivalent to a bolt from the blue. After half a ring, Ye Shi asked with a pale face: "Master, you, are you going to divorce me?"
Han Jianming had a knot in his heart from the moment Ye had to give birth to the child: "Ye, as long as you have me as a husband in your heart, you won't let me fall into a dilemma." For the sake of more than ten years of marriage as a couple, I have tolerated you once, but there will never be a next time. ā
Ye didn't know how he could do it.
Mrs. Lu said carefully: "Madam, the lord doesn't make sense here, let's go and ask the princess." The princess and Bodhisattva will definitely not watch her niece die. "Mrs. Lu didn't know that the Ye family had already had a disagreement because of the birth of a child.
When Ye heard this, he said to himself: "No, she won't care." ā
Mrs. Lu asked, "Madam, what are you talking about?" Ye's voice just now was too quiet, and Mrs. Lu didn't hear what Ye was saying.
Ye shook his head and said, "It's nothing, you go down! She didn't dislike her husband at the beginning, and she still respected her. Now he said that he was going to divorce her, which made Ye very sad.
The next day, all the personal mother-in-law and personal maids around the Ye family were sent out of the Han Mansion, including Mrs. Lu. The reason for being sent away is very simple, the master does something wrong and does not know how to persuade him, such a slave cannot be kept.
Han Jianming's hand let Ye know that he didn't scare her by saying that he had divorced her before. Therefore, she did not dare to have any objections to Han Jianming sending the people around her.
Seeing that the Ye family was honest, Han Jianming instructed Han Gao and said, "Let that child die of illness! Only when the child dies can the lady completely stop." "Although I said yesterday that I was going to take a leave of absence from the Ye family, it was all to scare the Ye family. The Ye family is so old, and she has no relatives in the northwest, and being really Hughed is equivalent to forcing her to die. Han Jianming is ambitious, but he is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
Han Gao nodded and said, "My subordinates will do it." ā
That night, the Ye family got the news that Tingting was dead. The child who was born desperately for his life, how could he stand it like this, and he fainted on the spot.
ps: o(n_n)o~, Lu Pozi is just a small shrimp, and she will be killed in seconds.
