As long as August passes, the summer floods will be overcome. If there is more, there will not be such a severe flood as in June and July, the flood peak crosses, and you can also see the scenery of "rolling up a thousand piles of snow" in Jiangxinzhou.

Of course, for the people of the upstream public security county, this is especially an "endless August......

To describe it as inhumane, miserable, and miserable, it will definitely not pass.

The government soldiers in Jingzhou will not really go into the water to fight the flood, let alone carry the villagers on the boat and move to safety. In the normal scope of the army, the main job is to kill people.

The army of this era, as long as it does not block the road and rob in the face of catastrophe, it means that the conscience has never been extinguished.

"How many people died?"

In the yamen of the Wuhan Records Department, bureaucrats wearing a few gauze clothes were making tea and eating peach cakes, and this year's budget table and various expenditures for the first half of the year were laid on the teak table. On top of it, a piece of flat glass is pressed, and then there is a copy of the Wuhan Evening News in mid-August.

Knocking on Erlang's leg and wearing reading glasses, the forty or fifty-year-old old official Youzi doesn't care about anything, but he is nagging and bragging in the office, which is full of power.

"Where?"

"Jingzhou wow." An old guy put his valuable reading glasses down, "Didn't you see what the newspapers said?" Jiangxia West Entrance has seen floating corpses? Where did it come from? It's definitely upstream. ”

"Maybe it's Yuezhou?"

"Didn't the people of Yuezhou run to Puqi to escape the disaster?"

"I think it's from the public security county."

"If you don't die in Gong'an County, can you not die in Jiangling County?"

"You don't necessarily deserve the bad luck of the public security county."

"That can't be helped, who called it Gangneung in front? If it's Wuchang, maybe it won't drown you? ”

The people of the Records Department were talking nonsense there, but Jingzhou very quickly rented a large ship from Wuhan for 12 years, a large ship of 2,400 stones, and carried lime.

This is the experience of the dead and the dead, and after several summaries, the Chao brothers' research on the protection against the epidemic is also quite in place.

A set of "China Resources Health Management Regulations" is at least much more influential than their ancestor Chao Yuanfang's "Examination of the Source and Flow of Diseases".

The catastrophe is followed by the pandemic, which is difficult to solve in any time and place. The era of antibiotics is a problem that cannot be solved, not to mention that in these years, it is necessary to rely on immature "yellow artemisia soup" to deal with dysentery.

Lime, dining utensils, kitchen utensils, simple board room, linen, hemp rope, all kinds of wood......

Jingzhou has placed an order, and local procurement and imperial court subsidies are dual-operational. As for the dismissal of the dead man who broke the embankment or something, it was early.

"Over there in Jingzhou, the governors of various states and counties have ordered so many things?"

Zhang Songbai was quite shocked, "Where did you get so much money?" ”

"It was given by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Lao Zhang was holding a teapot sent by Huzhou Xu's in his hand, which looked a bit like a purple clay pot, and it felt very good.

As he spoke, Zhang De pointed at Li Jingren: "You ask Li Gongzi, how many officials are in Chang'an in Jingzhou during this flood?" Do you think it's the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Which of the six didn't run? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Crying children have milk to eat, don't you understand this?" Lao Zhang did not deliberately arrange his colleagues in Jingzhou, after all, the current Jingzhou is quite complicated, there are Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Cheng Zhijie, the general of the left leading army, and Li Jing, who cultivates immortals and gods at home.

With this disciple, and counting Li Keshi, the imperial court disaster relief must be prioritized.

Besides, how miserable is the public security county?

It just so happened that Gong'an County was "ordered to discharge floods" for the overall situation of Jingzhou, and after several packages, it turned out to be a model, and it was thrown on the desk of the prime minister of Shangshu Province.

Got up from a lower-level bureaucrat and experienced all kinds of local government affairs, can Fang Xuanling understand? But did Fang Xuanling say anything? No!

"Nowadays, there is a saying in Chang'an, called 'running the department money in', hey...... The six departments are going around and around, how can the Jingzhou guests who have turned into fate be mixed with tens of thousands. Who calls Jingzhou different? ”

Li Jingren is also there with yin and yang weirdness, and he can't help but be yin and yang. This flood is more ferocious than ever before. According to the records of the Wuhan area, there has not been such a scale in the past 30 years.

If it weren't for Lao Zhang's thorough preparation, the fact that various workshops could produce materials for flood fighting and rescue, and the workers' team had experience in large-scale projects, and that they were better organized than the government soldiers and people, they might not have survived.

In this way, after three months of rain, the silk reeling factory under Li Jingren was basically destroyed, and there were some new silkworms, the dampness was too heavy, and more than eighty percent died, and the heavy losses were not enough to describe.

Li Jingren is still like this, not to mention other hemp workshops, silk workshops, dyeing workshops and other workshops that have high weather requirements.

As for shipbuilding, fishing, transport...... Recently, the small merchants and local Tu people who have been engaged in these trades are preparing to sail to the bottom of the Yangtze River to do the work of transporting souls.

What to do if you don't die? If you don't die, you can't pay off your debts.

"Then you can't just give it to Jingzhou, not to Chu, Hubei and other prefectures."

Zhang Songbai felt strange.

"Who told you to be effective in disaster relief and not lose much?"

Li Jingren smiled.

"Is that okay?"

"Ezhou is too peaceful, doesn't it seem that others are too messy? Wuhan Records Department has outstanding political achievements, doesn't it seem that other state and county governments are too incompetent? Not beforehand, after the fact, it is naked hatred. So, why help the eye-catching? Even the governor of the eldest grandson doesn't have the guts. ”

Li Jingren said, and said to Zhang Songbai, "You didn't ask anyone to go to Shangshu Province to walk around?" Fang Xiang didn't dare to agree, if Fang Xiang agreed, I am afraid that if it is not his disciples, he will be excluded. ”

"That can't be ...... It can't be said that Jingzhou should spend more than 400,000 yuan for disaster relief. This money is enough to destroy the Turks three times. ”

Seeing that this rammed goods still couldn't understand the market, Lao Zhang suddenly became angry: "Stupid! Shouldn't this money still have to be redeemed by the slightly less affected prefectures and counties? ”

Zhang Songbai blinked, was stunned suddenly, and then lowered his voice and asked Zhang De: "Lang Jun, how much kickback does this cost?" ”

Zhang Songbai, whose IQ was finally on the line, made Li Jingren laugh, and then raised a finger and shook it at Zhang Songbai.

"One ......" originally blurted out 10,000 guan, but Zhang Songbai immediately stopped talking, 10,000? That can't! 10,000 can't even feed the king.

"The ...... of the Mother"

Zhang Songbai touched his head and scolded, and then asked, "Lang Jun, Lang Jun sees that I am now an official, do you still hope to be a county magistrate before the age of forty?" ”

"Don't want to talk nonsense, go, Wangjianglou set a table."

Lao Zhang waved his hand, and then looked serious, "This government wants to invite colleagues from Jingzhou to a banquet, and it can't be too shabby." ”
