Early August.

Shaanxi.

Standing outside the city of Fugu County, Shi Kefa couldn't help but burst into tears as he watched more and more rafts float down the upper reaches of the Yellow River. These rafts, starting from noon today, have been drifting down one after another, and by the afternoon, there are more and more, and there is a posture covering the Yellow River.

There will be rafts coming down upstream to participate in the transfer of the victims, this matter, Shi Kefa has known about it for a long time, but when the day of this raft arrives, Shi Kefa has no bottom in his heart, and he does not dare to mention it to the victims, for fear that if he says it, the raft will not arrive on time, which will hurt the emotions of the victims, so he did not dare to tell the victims about it, until today he saw a large number of rafts appear in front of him, he really believed that it was true that there were rafts coming down upstream, and he believed that what Xu Guangqi said in the letter was true.

The victims of the disaster had already gathered around those raft passengers to ask questions about the cold and warmth, and had already excitedly surrounded those raft passengers to ask questions and help clean up, some helped the raft passengers take off the rafts ashore, some helped carry the rafts and dried the rafts, and some ran to tell each other the good news, and the whole river beach was boiling.

The rafts gathered more and more, and there was a posture of covering the Yellow River, and even Baodezhou on the other side of the river was alarmed, and countless people stood on the bank of the river to watch this rare "spectacle".

The clerk's office below the immigration officer had already begun to register the waist cards of those rafters and make statistics, and the whole scene was boiling.

Shi Kefa stood on the city wall of Fugu County, looking at this extremely spectacular scene from a distance, and couldn't help but cry silently, this unprecedented immigration, unprecedented epic action, is really inspiring people to forge ahead and make people cry.

"My lord, my lord, good news, good news" Shi Kefa's deputy, Song Zhijie, took a fast step and rushed to the city wall, shouting from afar. The little soldiers on the city wall saw it, and cast envious and admiring eyes, this person from the Si Nong Division is really powerful, there will be so many rafts on the Yellow River, I am afraid that all the rafts in the upper reaches will be brought, the people of the Si Nong Division are really in a way.

Shi Kefa hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes and pretended that nothing had happened.

"My lord, good news, good news," Song Zhijie shouted breathlessly.

"Zhijie, look at your urgency, the matter of the raft has arrived, the official has eyes and can see it." Shi Kefa said with a smile, with a little bit of ridicule.

"My lord, don't you mean this, I just received a messenger from Lord Zhou on the raft, and he floated down together on the raft, he said, Lord Zhou has begun to recruit rafters on a large scale upstream, buy rafts on a large scale, and prepare to go to the Mongols to buy livestock, my lord, now, there is no shortage of sheepskin rafts, even food, I am afraid that there is no shortage of anything, by the way, the messenger also said that Lord Zhou specially wrote a letter to the adults...... Lao Li, Lao Li, come and see Master Shi...... "Song Zhijie was very excited, the immigration officer he was with was the person that the Donglin Party would cultivate in the future. The leader of the Donglin Party, the deputy Qincha, has now sent a special letter to take care of him, which shows that he has a bright future with this Shi Daren, how can he not like it.

"Little Li San visits Master Shi." The messenger ran up the wall and immediately saluted Scofa.

"Okay, what did Lord Zhou say?" Shi Kefa smiled with satisfaction and began to ask the messenger.

"Back to the adult, Lord Zhou told the small one that he must deliver the letter, and also instructed the small one to inform the adult, saying that there is no need to worry about immigration, he has already opened upstream, and he will continue to send the raft down in the future, saying that the adult can rest assured. The victims from here can be transferred away first, and Lord Zhou told the adults not to ......be in a hurry, and Lord Zhou also explained that there are still some things in the letter, please be sure to do it...... "The messenger surnamed Li said something, and then sent the letter.

Shi Kefa took the letter, checked the seal, it was intact, looked at the handwriting, it was also Zhou Yanru's right, tore open the letter, and read it carefully.

After reading the letter, Shi Kefa's brows furrowed.

"My lord, what did Lord Zhou say in the letter?" Song Zhijie is Shi Kefa's deputy, and he is going to inquire about the news with Shi Kefa, to see what the deputy Qincha said to his own adults, to be able to participate more and know some things, it can be regarded as stepping into the circle of the Donglin Party, which will be beneficial to him in the future, from an official to an official, this is a very difficult road.

"Zhijie, Lord Zhou said in the letter that all the victims in this county should be transported away as soon as possible, so as not to happen at an unpredictable time, these rafts sent down, for the time being, do not be divided into other states and counties, and organize a group of rafts to transport the victims of this county directly through Tongguan to ......, do not stop on the road......" The reason why Shi Kefa frowned was that the transfer of the victims was a relay of one station and one stop, and the victims of Fugu County only needed to be transported to Xingxian County or Jiazhou, and the victims who were transported there were transported to the next by the immigration officer there, but what Zhou Yanru said in his letter to him was not only to let him transfer the victims away, but also to ask him to immediately organize a large number of rafts to directly transport people through Tongguan to ......, which was obviously contrary to the original immigration plan. ,

Song Zhijie couldn't touch the door, and thought for a long time and said, "My lord, what does this mean?" "Song Zhijie is not an accumulation of officialdom, and he is not very transparent about these ambiguous and twisted things.

"Hehe...... Lord Zhou said that he wanted us to swagger through the city, use hundreds of rafts to form a huge fleet of rafts, and transport people through Tongguan at one time, saying that it was to show the victims on both sides of the Yellow River, so that the victims on both sides of the Yellow River could see the scene of our hundreds of rafts transporting people, so that the victims along the way would have firmer confidence in our immigrants, and that's it......" Shi Kefa smiled and said the original words in the letter, Zhou Yanru said this in the letter to him, let him organize hundreds of rafts and carry thousands of victims at one timeAs for the reason, it is also very convincing, that is, to give a signal and confidence to the victims waiting for transfer on both sides of the Yellow River, look: our Si Nong Division has the ability to transport you away, and our Si Nong Si has countless rafts ......, this matter, according to Zhou Yanru, is to act for those disaster victims, and swagger down the Yellow River.

Although Shi Kefa felt that this reason was very sufficient, he felt that it was like showing credit to himself, and he was suspected of stealing credit, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

"It's a good thing, my lord, this is definitely a good thing, Lord Zhou is really thoughtful, so, it is indeed necessary, now, the victims of Shaanxi are counting on rafts to save people, if adults can form a huge fleet of rafts with hundreds ......of rafts, so drift all the way, this scene can be imagined, the victims along the way, will know the ability of our agricultural department to immigrate, will have more confidence in us, our agricultural department immigration, will get twice the result with half the effort, so, we emigrate, it will be more relaxed, …… Hehe, what's more, my lord, now, all of Shaanxi is making sheepskin rafts, all of them are making sheepskin tires, hehe, this sheepskin fetus, the method of transporting people on rafts is proposed by adults, and it should be taken by adults to take the lead in showing and publicizing it, so that other immigration officials and the victims along the Yellow River know the merits of adults, my lord, this matter, just leave it to Zhijie to do, Zhijie guarantees that it will be done properly" Song Zhijie agreed with Zhou Yanru'......s statement, it is absolutely necessary to swagger down the Yellow River, this is an opportunity to show merit, Now the whole Shaanxi is making rafts on a large scale, however, it is estimated that they have not been dried, if someone can use a large number of rafts to show the function of the raft to transport people, obviously, it will cause a great sensation, this credit must be great, and as Zhou Yanru said, it is a demonstration of the ability of the Department of Nong, and it is also a good thing to enhance the confidence of the victims, so he has to do it now, he Song Zhijie does not want to get the credit to fly, if he can show it in front of people, it is unbelievable.

Although Shi Kefa is a little disgusted with this kind of grabbing credit and showing off his own business, but, as Song Zhijie said, this is also a good thing to increase the confidence of the victims on both sides of the Yellow River, Shi Kefa nodded, and said: "Okay, then this matter will be left to Zhijie, and the hundreds of rafts that floated down today will form a raft fleet, and they will set off tomorrow and drift through Tongguan all the way, and they will hype up the benefits of this kind of raft along the way, so as to say, upstream, there are countless rafts to float down, Our people from the Department of Agriculture have already purchased a large number of rafts upstream, and are still making more rafts, so that the victims on both sides of the Yellow River can see our existence and see the hope of the immigrants, so as to reassure the people............ As for the rafts made by the county itself, they will then transfer the victims to Xingxian every day. Shi Kefa immediately made a decision, since this thing that showed off his merits was beneficial to immigrants, then do it, so.

"Don't worry, my lord, Zhijie knows, I'm going to do it......" Song Zhijie is naturally concerned about this kind of boasting of his achievements, so he immediately went to arrange, today is only now, I'm afraid that there will be no less than two or three hundred rafts floating down, to sunset, I'm afraid there will be more, with these rafts to form a huge raft fleet to swagger down the Yellow River, to say that it is enough to shock the victims on both sides of the Yellow River, they themselves also have just dried leather tires, they are here for the victims, or a few days, they can all be transported away...... In addition to the raft fleet, he had to send a few people to explain to the immigration officers along the way, and he also had to tell the victims that he would do a good job in the propaganda work of the raft along ......the way, and Song Zhijie considered that he should do a better job of swaggering down the Yellow River while walking. ,

Before dawn the next day, on the river beach outside Fugu County, the lights were bright, the voices were boiling, the adults packed their bags, the children followed the adults, the rafters were chattering, and the immigration officers were making final preparations.

This time the swagger down the Yellow River is about to begin.

The super "fleet" composed of hundreds of rafts began to drift down gradually, although the requirements of the old men were strange, the rafts could not be tied together, they had to ......be separated, but they had to drift together, but the rafters were also familiar with the small rafts to form large rafts, and the rafts formed a "fleet", and soon, the entire raft fleet began to drift down.

……

On the Yellow River, a magnificent "flotilla" meanders down the Yellow River. Hundreds of rafts are "covering the Yellow River" and are heading downward.

It was not only the fish and shrimp in the Yellow River that were alarmed, but also the people on both sides of the Yellow River, and countless people stopped when they saw this fleet and watched this fleet flow down the Yellow River.

Countless victims who went down the Yellow River to find the resettlement site, seeing so many rafts carrying people down, the look on their faces also soared, and their lifeless faces also became bright, constantly running, waving to the rafts, constantly shouting, and the pace of looking down for the resettlement point was not much firmer, and the pace was also much faster.

When encountering a settlement where a large number of victims gathered, the scene was even more intense.

When passing through the resettlement site in Xingxian County, the victims on both sides of the strait who stopped to watch filled the entire embankment, and there were as many as tens of thousands of people.

The victims of the Xingxian resettlement site looked at the huge "fleet" in "shock" and the people drifting down the rafts.

For the safety of the victims, the rafts were only used in shallow water on the banks of the Yellow River, which made the victims along the banks even more crazy.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good, there are a lot of rafts floating down the river, covering the Yellow River......" A messenger rushed into the room of the Xingxian immigration officer and said loudly.

"What's all this fuss about? Speaking carefully, it's not like I haven't seen a raft? How many? The Xingxian immigration officer said disapprerovingly. These days, Shi Kefa is indeed using rafts to transport disaster victims, and he knows that the slaughter of livestock to make rafts in Shaanxi is said to have been the first to be done by Shi Kefa, and he himself is also slaughtering animals to make leather tires.

"My lord, it's really not good, I'm afraid there are hundreds of rafts, hundreds of them, and the whole Yellow River is covered with ...... The victims all went up to the embankment to see the rafts...... "This errand officer has probably never seen hundreds of rafts floating down together in his life, and his face is flushed and excited.

"Hundreds?" The Xingxian immigration officer asked in surprise, Shi Kefa has a raft where he knows, this raft to transport the victims was proposed by Shi Kefa, so, on the entire Yellow River, Shi Kefa was the first to use the raft to transport the victims, but I heard that there are hundreds, Xingxian immigration officer was also surprised, he Xingxian only planned to slaughter 2,000 animals, at most 200 rafts, and he has only now slaughtered two or three percent, and there is not a single one, this Shi Kefa has made hundreds of rafts, how not to shock him

The immigration officer of Xing County heard that there were hundreds of rafts in the river, and he was very happy, and there were so many rafts in Shi Kefa upstream, and when the victims of Fugu County were finished, the rafts were vacant, and it was his turn to use those rafts, and he was very happy that he was worried about the lack of tools to transport the victims, and immediately ran out to see what was going on, and he also received a request from the Si Nong Division to make a raft, but unfortunately, those sheepskin tires were not well dried, and they had to wait for the first batch of sheepskin tires to be dried to make rafts, I am afraid that it would take several days. I don't know how long it will take to wait for all the rafts to be dried, so I hope that Shi Kefa will finish transporting the victims upstream and give him some profits, which has become his greatest wish. Now when I hear about hundreds of rafts floating down, why don't you be surprised, why don't you take a look.

When he ran up the embankment and saw the rafts full of rivers coming down in an overwhelming manner, he was also shocked.

"This Xianzhi, really good ability, how can there be so many rafts?" The scene of hundreds of rafts transporting people suppressed this immigration officer, and at this scale and speed, all the immigrants in Taxing County would be transported out of his jurisdiction in a few days, and the so-called first huge and difficult immigration project in the ages, that is to say, he could complete it in ten days. ,

"Report, my lord, there is a letter sent by Master Shi of Fugu County." An errand officer immediately delivered a letter.

The immigration officer immediately opened the letter and read it.

After reading it, the immigration officer said in an envious tone: "Good ability, good ability, this constitution, good fortune ......" Shi Kefa told him in the letter, upstream, Zhou Yanru, the deputy minister of the Si Nong Division, has been hiring, buying, and making sheepskin rafts in large quantities, and more and more rafts will float down in the future, not only sheepskin rafts, but also dried meat, that is, there is food sent down, he today, it is in accordance with the requirements of Zhou Yanru, the deputy minister, to use these hundreds of rafts to swagger down the Yellow River, To show a good show to the victims on both sides of the Yellow River, so this batch of rafts will not stop in Taxing County, let him not mind, and by the way, prepare for the arrival of more victims, and said in the letter that when the victims there are almost transferred, the rafts in Hefugu County can be used to support Taxing County.

After the immigration officer sighed enviously, the whole person was much more energetic and relaxed.

Looking at the banks of the Yellow River, tens of thousands of immigrants watched the scene of hundreds of rafts going down the Yellow River, he knew that Shi Kefa's limelight this time was right, it was a success, in addition to envy, or envy, his heart was even more relaxed, when he was assigned to this state and county in northern Shaanxi as an immigration officer, he thought that immigration was the most difficult, because there were many disaster victims, less food, and difficult transportation. His immigration work can end early, which is indispensable in the immigration evaluation, which is definitely of great help to his future career, looking at the rafts full of rivers, the immigration officer is even more ecstatic.

On this raft, there are countless immigrants sitting, and some are even more excited to stand up, and the people on the shore wave warmly, to be able to get so many people to watch, it is definitely a glorious thing, to be the first to leave this hellish Shaanxi, to run to the heavenly Jiangnan, is definitely a thing worth showing off.

I don't know who started, but the people on the raft sang the song "Start Again"

"No matter how hard it is, you have to be strong......"

"If the heart is there, the dream is in ......"

The song soon spread throughout the Yellow River, and the people on the bank waved their hands enthusiastically, looking enviously at these people who were moving on the raft, and also sang along with the people on the raft.

"If the heart is there, the dream is in ......"

The immigration officer was also infected by the emotions of the victims, and couldn't help but whisper: "Look at success or failure, life is heroic."
