Early the next morning, officials from Kunshan County posted notices in the Shenming Pavilion and in densely populated places in the city.

The people gathered in the rain to watch, and the literate ones read aloud:

"The new magistrate of Kunshan County, Zhao, urgently told the county's fathers and elders - since the beginning of May, the obscene rain has been raining for months, the Taihu Lake has risen sharply, and the flood has not been encountered for many years. Kunbei has become a Ze country, and the Wusong River embankment is in danger.

Once the embankment is lost, the whole county will suffer from the disaster of no roof, the houses will collapse, the particles will not be harvested, and the people who will die of starvation and drowning do not know how many times!

This official and his colleagues couldn't bear to see the people suffer this calamity, and vowed to defend the embankment for Kunshan to the end, and the flood would not recede for a day, and we would not go down the embankment for a day!

Woohoo, Kunshan is the Kunshan of the people, everyone has the responsibility of defending the land, we are united, and the flood cannot invade it!

Since today, the county has entered a state of emergency, and in order to unite and fight the flood, nine prohibitions have been issued.

A ban on raising prices and hoarding! Second, it is forbidden to spread rumors and make trouble, demagoguery! Three prohibitions on fighting and brawling, lawsuits at every turn!

Fourth, it is forbidden to steal and defraud, and rob materials! Five prohibitions do not report knowing, collusion! Six prohibitions leave their posts without permission, paralyzing carelessness!

Seven prohibitions are prevaricating and perfunctory! Eight prohibitions on extortion, corruption and bribery! Nine prohibitions do not obey the order, and escape from the battle!

Those who violate these nine prohibitions, regardless of the officials and the people in addition to the severe punishment of the national law, will be put in a shackle for ten days, and a monument of shame will be erected in Chaoyangmen, which will be spurned by all generations!

Zhao Shouzheng, the magistrate of Kunshan; He Wenwei, the county leader; The main bookkeeper is Bai Shouli; Signed by Xiong Xiasheng. ”

This stern and resolute notice made the already panicked county town of Kunshan explode.

The people of the county town were completely awakened from their paralysis and began to talk in panic.

"So ruthless? How are you going to be a person now? ”

"Yes, it's a flail and a monument of shame, and Sensei has shown up in Kunshan."

"Are the floods so bad this year?"

"Sure, the people from the south fled into the city so early."

"Didn't you see that all four masters signed their names? If you can't be real? ”

"Yesterday, on the first day of his tenure, the county magistrate took Master Gu and Master Zheng to inspect the embankment, and today they will pull the victims and villagers to repair the embankment."

"We're almost there, our lieutenant has been informed, and we will go up to the embankment tomorrow."

"What a good thing that is...... many people can't help but think of the flood ten years ago.

Although people did not drown because of the shelter of the county seat, they were trapped in the island-like city for two months, and I don't know how many people starved to death.

There is even a post-apocalyptic scene of cannibalism......

Fear welled up in my heart and went out of control. Some people ran home, picked up hoes and dustpans, and went to help repair the embankment.

Others went home to pack their belongings and prepared to flee to Suzhou City for refuge.

Others hurried to the shops on the street to buy grain, firewood, tea, salt, and so on, and prepared to stock them up in case of famine......

~~

But Zhao Gongzi can't see this chaotic scene in the city.

Early in the morning, under the protection of Gao Wu and twenty Caijiaxiang men, he quietly left Kunshan County by boat, went down the Loujiang River, and embarked on the road of fate.

Zhao Shouzheng and his subordinate officials really lived on the embankment last night, and this morning they started the intense flood control work, so naturally they can't see or manage the county.

Now in Kunshan County, it is actually two extra-prison executioners - Xu Wei and Wu Chengen.

Standing in the gate with an umbrella and looking at the chaos on Yaqian Street, the old and serious writer felt a headache.

"Hey, you too." The writer glared at the painter and said, "I didn't join me in persuading the son, but I also supported him in posting notices." Is it necessary for the common people to know the truth? ”

"More than 100,000 victims have entered the city, and tens of thousands of people are working on the embankment today, can they not know the truth?" The painter asked rhetorically.

"Maybe a lot of people don't want to know." Wu Chengen sighed and said, "Ignorance is also a kind of happiness. ”

"To pretend to be ignorant is to be shameless!" Xu Wei sneered and said: "Lao Tzu is most tired of those shameless faces who pretend to be confused and selfish to the extreme!" Of course, they can't fit it at all. This notice is the mirror of the Tota Heavenly King, and any charm and spirit will be visible under the light. ”

"Hey, that's going to be a mess." The writer sighed again. "If this is a big trouble, eighty percent of people will use our identities to attack the owner."

"What are you afraid of? If something happens, it's over. The dissolute and lonely painter said calmly: "Before the real flood arrives, kill all the demons and monsters that pop up, so that we can work together to fight the flood." ”

"What if it can't be flattened?" Wu Chengen asked in a sullen voice.

"It's a small broken county, what's the thing that can't be settled?" Xu Wei laughed, turned around and entered the county office.

"Hey, this guy." Wu Chengen shook his head helplessly.

The scene that happened when he entered the city the day before yesterday, as well as Feng Zhixian's reminder before leaving, made Wu Chengen deeply worried.

The lackeys of the Xu family will not let go of this excellent opportunity......

~~

Although Yaqian Street is prosperous, because the whole street is dependent on the county government, it is somewhat deformed. It is full of teahouses, restaurants, inns, medical halls, pharmacies, bathhouses and other service industries.

If you want to buy something seriously, you still have to go to the area around the Mid-Levels Bridge.

Dongtang Street and Xitang Street on both sides of the bridge are lined with shops and the market is prosperous.

It's raining today, but there are many more people on Dongtang Street than on weekdays.

Especially in front of the grain stores, people crowded into a crowd, rushing to buy rice, and the long queue reached the bridge.

"I want a stone!"

"Allah Hachidou!"

"Five with one stone!"

Customers shouted and banged on the counter, urging the busy shopkeepers and their buddies.

The black-hearted shopkeeper naturally took the opportunity to keep raising prices.

It is the season of green and yellow, and the old rice of the last year can be sold for one or two seven or eighty-one stones.

Yesterday there was no rice, but as soon as it opened this morning, several rice shops rose to two taels and one stone.

After seeing the notice, I erased today's quotation and changed it to two two five in an instant.

At this moment, the rush to buy together, they simply didn't wipe it, and directly added a horizontal on the top of the two, which became a three, two, five and five stone!

But the more the price keeps rising, the more customers want to buy. I'm afraid that if I turn back and rise to five taels and one stone, I will really starve to death.

Looking at the people who are crazy about robbing, the rice merchants who make a lot of money are so happy that they can't keep their mouths together.

In fact, there is no need for the common people to rush crazy, these rice merchants saw that they entered the plum ahead of schedule this year, and they had long expected that Kunnan would be flooded.

It is all trying to replenish the goods, and the cargo ships that deliver rice under these overpasses are connected end to end, and they all block the traffic to Hetang.

Although I didn't get rice yesterday, the store is very well stocked, so let's buy it.

~~

On Dongtang Street, there is a restaurant named 'Xinghuahong' on the second floor.

On the elegant seat on the street, several men in brocade robes were drinking a little wine while watching the scene of messy rice grabbing downstairs.

"You people in Kunshan are not energetic." An old man with a white goatee tasted a piece of duck. "This is robbing and grabbing, just giving money to the rice sellers."

"Didn't you just put up a notice?" The middle-aged man with a big mole on his cheeks laughed and said, "Maybe I'm a little scared." ”

"How?" Goatee spat out the duck bones out of the window and ordered, "Go, light a fire for them." ”

ps. The fifth more is delivered, asking for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket~~
