The disaster relief food team, which was regarded as a life-saving straw by the victims, entered the county government in a long entrainment, and the attentive victims found that these ox carts were no more than 80 ox carts, and each ox cart could pull 1,500 catties when full, and 80 carts were only 1,000 stones, which was only enough to support three or two days, and if the court only brought this little grain, at least nearly half of the 1560,000 victims would starve to death.

When everyone was panicked and uneasy, the officials of the county government came to announce that the Ai Tingshi of the government had personally escorted some of the grain and grass to help and visit the victims, and the first batch of 50,000 stone relief grain from the court had entered the territory of Duanzhou and would be delivered in a few days.

There was a thunderous roar of joy, many victims knelt on the ground despite the mud on the ground and thanked the emperor, and some people burst into tears, and those who had planned to sell their wives and children dismissed their minds and waited for the court's help to arrive.

Yang Siqi secretly sighed in his heart that the heavens would not help me, as long as the news was two days late, he would kill the Xu officials who gave the porridge, take the hungry victims to capture the county seat, and go all the way to the northwest to attack the city and plunder the land, so that the southern part of Dazheng would be turbulent. Of course, he knew that it was impossible for him to succeed in the rebellion by relying on these hundreds of thousands of victims, and the life and death of these hundreds of thousands of people were just chess pieces in his hands.

The news spread outside the south gate, many lazy people quietly slipped away from the team on the embankment, this group of people abacus well, the county government's grain storage plus the thousand stone grain sent today is enough to support the arrival of the court's disaster relief grain, why work so hard to work on the embankment.

In the morning, an important breach was successfully closed, which greatly lifted Li Yubo's spirits, and the location of the breach in the remaining three places was not very important, there were no villages nearby, and the water potential was declining, and the flood fell by more than a foot in one morning, and according to this trend, all the gaps in Duanzhou could be blocked in two days.

The servants were doing their best just now, Li Yubo saw that it was close to noon, and simply ordered the husband to make rice, in addition to the gruel, one person also has two coarse grain steamed buns, and there is only one steamed bun in the morning and afternoon on weekdays, as for the dinner to drink two bowls of porridge to deal with.

At this time, the yamen did not dare to withhold the rations of the husband's servants, and according to the standard of 3,000 people, each person was supplied with two catties of grain per day.

When eating, everyone smiled, although the steamed buns on the river embankment tasted average, but they were big enough and solid, and the two lower stomachs could finally have a full meal, and Lord Li also specially ordered every ten people to have a plate of pickles, which made people more and more delicious.

Jiang Anyi and a group of men sat on the embankment, in the middle was a pot of gruel, each with two steamed buns in their hands, everyone was talking and laughing, drinking porridge and laughing with Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi found that there were many half-grown children on the embankment, with ragged clothes and bare feet, and some of them were holding younger siblings, staring at the adults eating.

Someone shouted: "Master himself can't fill his stomach, how can there be anything to give to you, get out." ”

Brother Zhao beside him got up silently, pulled a steamed bun in his hand into several pieces, and distributed it to a few children, the scattered children saw that there were people here to scatter grain, and immediately surrounded a large pile, Brother Zhao looked at the other half-bitten steamed bun in his hand in embarrassment, and gave it to these children who could not carry stones and work by eating porridge alone.

Jiang Anyi took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, it was so rough that it was hard to swallow, and when he saw the children surrounding Brother Zhao, he also stood up, tore up the two steamed buns in his hand, and distributed them to those children. Infected by Jiang Anyi and Brother Zhao, many men got up and divided the steamed buns into several pieces and distributed them to these children.

"Well, don't forget your kindness in a difficult situation, which really makes Li admire." Li Yubo's voice came from behind him, and Jiang Anyi and everyone turned around and saluted.

Li Yubo held a steamed bun in his hand, and said to Jiang Anyi with a smile: "I just promised you a steamed bun, and Li brought it to you." ”

One

The officials dressed up humanely: "Lord Li eats the same as everyone, this steamed bun was saved by Lord Li himself, and I don't thank Lord Li soon." ”

"No, it should be someone Li who thanks everyone." Li Yubo waved his hand, his face showed a look of pain, and said: "The breach of the river embankment makes the people suffer, this is the responsibility of the transfer envoy Yamen. It's a pity that the grain on the construction site is calculated at 50 stone a day, and Li has no extra food to help these suffering people in order to ensure that everyone has the strength to work. ”

"Adults and I eat, live and work together, and we admire them very much." Jiang Anyi's words caused everyone around him to nod and praise Master Li.

Li Yubo glanced at the empty porridge pot on the ground, and said to Jiang Anyi: "You have given all your food to these children, go to my tent and eat a few mouthfuls of gruel, I have something to ask you." ”

Jiang Anyi also wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Li Yubo, Li Yubo was a classic work of the transfer envoy Yamen, and all the river affairs were supervised by him, so he should be the most aware of the drawbacks, looking at Li Yubo's actions, he did not look like a corrupt person.

Li Yubo's residence was the same as that of the servants, all of whom were tents tied up on the embankment, except that the servants had one tent for ten people, while Li Yubo lived with two retinues, which was relatively relaxed. Walking into the tent, a sour smell choked his mouth and nose, it was raining for days, and the things in the tent were a little moldy, Jiang Anyi saw that white fungi had grown on a wooden box next to the tent.

Obviously, Li Yubo and the two entourages were accustomed to this environment, and beckoned Jiang Anyi to sit down on the small table in the middle. Jiang Anyi saw five steamed buns on the table, a pot of porridge and a plate of side dishes, which were the same as those eaten by the servants outside, and the missing steamed buns were given to himself.

Li Yubo motioned to his entourage to serve a bowl of porridge for Jiang Anyi, grabbed the steamed bun in his hand, took a bite, and swallowed the porridge in a big gulp. After waiting for half of the steamed bun to be eaten, he asked, "What's your name?" I see you talking like someone who has read a book. ”

"Under the surname Jiang, I studied with my father for a few days when I was a child." Jiang Anyi barely managed to breathe evenly, adjusting to the smell in the tent.

Li Yubo didn't ask in detail, and said, "I think you have the strength, are you willing to do some errands with Li?" ”

This master of the classic has a heart of love for materials and recruits Jiang Anyi. This kind of opportunity is undesirable for ordinary people, Jiang Anyi couldn't cry or laugh, acted in a full set, and pretended to be happy to agree.

There was a lot of noise outside, Jiang Anyi followed Li Yubo out to watch, only to see a long line coming. Wan Huaijie hid back in the yamen of the transfer envoy, and finally left a master book surnamed Wei to contact Li Yubo. Master Wei told Li Yubo the instructions of the Chang Transit Envoy, asking him to use these newly recruited victims to block all the gaps in Duanzhou within three days.

Li Yubo was very annoyed, he knew the plan of Chang Yuchao and the others, but he just wanted to block the evidence of corruption before the arrival of the Qincha.

Wang Zhutou stepped forward to greet him and said, "Lord Li, Lord Yuan asked the humble officials to send 200 stone of grain for these victims to eat for four days. ”

Eight thousand people have two hundred stone of grain, if calculated according to the amount of two catties per person, it is enough to eat for a day and a half, and if calculated according to four days, then these people only provide eight taels of grain a day.

Li Yubo reprimanded unceremoniously: "The work on the embankment is all hard work, and you will be hungry after pulling a few peeing taels of grain, how do you let the official drive these people to work?" If, according to what you said, these people only eat eight taels a day, and the original people eat two catties a day, are you going to let the disaster victims fight a battle with the people? ”

Master Wei is a close confidant of the Chang Transit Envoy, and he is not afraid of this Li Dianzuo, so he said with a smile: "Now that 160,000 disaster victims are gathered in Linhua County, they can have eight taels of grain a day, and these disaster victims are already grateful."

, Li Dianzuo just drove them to work, if anyone didn't contribute, naturally some people wanted to do it. ”

Li Yubo said angrily: "You want to use the flesh and blood of these victims to fill the embankment, Chang Mou can't do such a thing." ”

"The master of the pawn will go and transfer the adult, don't rush to Wei if you are angry." Master Wei replied strangely.

Li Yubo instructed his entourage to resettle the victims, and he returned to the tent angrily, and after a while, he changed into a cyan official uniform and came out. Two personal attendants were sent to resettle the victims, and Li Yubo caught a glimpse of Jiang Anyi standing on the side and asked, "Can you ride a horse?" ”

Jiang Anyi nodded, and Li Yubo said, "You come with me." ”

Turning over and getting on the horse, Li Yubo took Jiang Anyi and ran to Linhua County, and there was a shout from Master Wei behind him, "What are you doing standing here?" If you are full, you can't start work soon, where there is still a gap, hurry up and plug it. ”

Jiang Anyi was a little puzzled, urged Ma and Li Yubo side by side, and asked, "My lord, why is that master book so bold, ignoring the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, and directly confronting the adult?" ”

After galloping out of a paragraph, Li Yubo sighed: "The transfer makes the redundant personnel in the yamen complicated, and each of them is hooked, this Wei Shouquan welcomes the regular transfer envoy, relying on the trust of someone Chang, and arranges more than ten of his relatives to serve in the river workers, eroding the national treasury and exploiting it up and down. I have reported him to the envoy several times, but to no avail, so this Wei master sees me as a thorn in his side. ”

After spit out a few complaints, Li Yubo stopped talking, Jiang Anyi knew that he and Li Yubo had only known each other for half a day, and it was impossible for Li Yubo to say anything more to himself.

The two jumped off their horses in front of the yamen of the transfer envoy, and Li Yubo strode inside and asked, "Lord Chang is there?" ”

The official who stepped forward to lead the horse said: "Lord Li, the transfer envoy went to the county office, and the history of Ai Thorn came to Linhua County, and the officials in the yamen went to meet him. ”

Li Yubo stood up and said in surprise: "Ai Thorn History is here?" ”

When he received an affirmative reply, Li Yubo immediately came to his senses and cursed the old fox in his heart. Although Li Yubo concentrates on practice, after all, he has been in the officialdom for nearly 20 years, and he is somewhat clear about the tricks in the officialdom. If he came early, the burden of flood fighting and rescue would have to be borne by him, and if he came late, the Qin mission had arrived, not to mention that accompanying the Qin mission was a chore, even if the Son of Heaven knew that he was incompetent. Take advantage of this time to come to Linhua County, the rescue is nearing the end, look around to share the credit for fighting the disaster, and bring some food, those victims have to be grateful to Dade, and count them in one fell swoop.

Li Yubo is a masterpiece of the transfer of the Jiangnan transfer envoy Yamen from the Dushui Supervision in June last year, and it has been less than a year since he said it, and he has never seen Lord Thorn Shi, but he knows a lot about the history of Ai Thorn. This Lord Ai's name is Ai Hua, seven out of fifty this year, and he has been up and down in the sea for thirty years, all of whom have served as local officials, and have never been Beijing officials.

Duanzhou is Shangzhou, the history of the assassin is from the official rank of the third grade, and then it is the actual position of the six departments and nine qing, looking at the actions of the history of the assassin, it can be seen that he does not have this kind of thought, and he pays attention to the harmony of the upper and lower levels for the officials in Duanzhou, and does not seek merit but seeks no fault. Jiangnan transshipment made the yamen point up and down officials, and it was indispensable to burn incense for this Lord Thorn Shi, Li Yubo was excluded from Chang Yuchao's group, but he vaguely heard that the silver taels given to Ai Thorn Shi were returned, and later Chang Yuchao replaced them with celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and Ai Thorn Shi accepted it.

Standing in front of the door and thinking for a while, Li Yubo decided not to go to the county government to join in the fun, and he couldn't please him when he saw the assassin history, so he simply waited for the transfer envoy to come back from the transfer yamen. He made the yamen have his own official house in the transfer, took Jiang Anyi into the house, instructed his subordinates to bring some food, and asked him to prepare hot water, prepare a full meal, take a bath and sleep well.
