Chapter 1125: From an Outsider's Perspective

Strange to strange, the people who suffered from the disaster have no choice, and Zhao Ziying can help this is already great mercy, they can only obediently obey.

The punishment of the village that stole the soil was also extremely severe, and they killed people on the muddy ground where the water had just receded, and the men, women, and children of the village who stole the soil, except for children under the age of 14, were all drawn by lot.

The people in the village survived from the breach of the water, and they encountered this again, but no one was willing to sympathize with it so miserable, and many other survivors who were affected by the village rushed over, if it weren't for the families of Zhao Ziying to maintain order, the survivors of this village were only afraid of being driven out.

After the severed head is made of lime nitrate, it is displayed along the river dam in a wooden box, and when it comes to nearby villages, as long as it is not affected by this flood, the whole village, men, women and children are called out, whether they dare to look at it or not, they must look at it one by one, and then say the order, if there is another person who is found to be secretly digging the dam soil and stone, the whole village will not leave the chickens and dogs.

In addition to the parade of these severed heads, the people of the stricken villages also paraded, and they did not need to say too much, and it was miserable enough to leave their homes.

People are afraid of death and poverty, seeing the head and seeing the tragic situation of the fellow villagers is enough to scare many people, who dares to steal soil again, not to mention that Jin Ye has issued a death order of "chickens and dogs do not stay".

It is not only the two villages that secretly dig the earth and stone of the river dam, there are six places here in Xuzhou, four of which have been filled back early, and the taxes paid in the second year have been increased by one percent, and two places are actually in the river section near Hejiazhuang, which really made Zhao Jin and the core of Zhao Ziying angry, and actually did such a thing under their noses.

“。 We all thought that the people would be afraid of respect, but we did not expect that they would always play tricks and think that they could take advantage of them, and only by using harsh laws can they be frightened."

Several places that have been found have been filled in time, and at the same time, it has been arranged for the family members, group training, patrol officers and people everywhere to probe along the river embankment with bamboo poles and sticks in hand to see if there are any hollows that have been excavated, or any other hidden dangers, and it is also necessary to take into account that the villages along the river are frightened by severe punishment, so they are lucky.

But this time there is also a discovery, that is, the embankment hole at the Hejiazhuang River section did not happen to any danger, according to the river workers who are familiar with the flood situation, the water flow in Hejiazhuang is relatively turbulent than that of Xuzhou, I don't know if this is the reason.

The disaster happened suddenly, but Zhao Ziying dealt with it quickly, the victims were quickly relieved and resettled, the garbage was collected and buried, the corpses were burned in time, and the damaged embankment was repaired and filled in time.

Five days later, the mess at the original breach of the embankment had disappeared, and there was not much ruins left of the washed away village, and everything was clean.

The water in Xuzhou City also quickly receded, and according to the words of the residents in the city, this time the water was like washing the city once, making the city a lot cleaner again.

It is rumored that the governor of Xuzhou and the same knowledge and the official went to the city to watch together, and after seeing the disaster relief outside the city, they were speechless, and they went down to the city sullenly, and they were not in a good mood after returning home.

In the next few days, it has been raining lightly in Kaifeng and Guide in Henan, and the rain in Xuzhou has not stopped, but the water potential of the Yellow River has stabilized, and it did not take long after the weather cleared up, and it began to fall.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, after entering August, whether it is Henan or Xuzhou, the rain will quickly decrease, and there is no need to worry about the scourge of floods.

But after Xuzhou breathed a sigh of relief, there were two executions in Pizhou, one of which was twenty miles away from Pizhou City, and four villages were affected, one of which was the grange of Zhao Ziying, and in the southeast section of the river in the southeast of Juning County, the river embankment collapsed, and the water in Juning County was flooded, and the water depth was more than six feet, and the surrounding villages were washed away, with countless casualties.

Juning County belongs to Huai'an Mansion, and it is not very important here in terms of fields or transportation, and Zhao Ziying did not place any strength here, and the loss this time was not too great.

However, the floods in Pizhou and Juning County have made Xuzhou fearful, thinking about what kind of damage and damage it will cause if such a situation occurs in Xuzhou.

Zhao Ziying's handling of the floods in Juning County was not as effective as Xuzhou's, and the treasurers of Yunshan Xing waited in a safe area without water with silver and grain, and when the flood receded, they would enter and buy a qiē worth buying, from the population to the fields, and even the place to settle the refugees in Juning had been selected, that is, the part of Fengyang Mansion adjacent to Xuzhou and Huai'an Mansion, where the terrain was too high to be affected by the floods.

In addition to the people of Yunshanxing, the owners of those workshops in Pizhou, Xuzhou also rushed over, the young and strong labor after the disaster is the cheapest, and they will work hard to make food, it is a good time to make this cheap, and after being soaked in water, it is difficult for the crops to rise again, it is estimated that the ground is full of weeds, and some people wonder whether to get cattle and sheep to graze sheep here, this wool can be made into cashmere, which is also a business.

Although the disaster process is different, but for the officials of the government, this is enough to do tricks, and it is still able to win the favor of Zhao Ziying, so that their own hands and feet to earn benefits, not long after, Xuzhou, Pizhou, Juning three disasters The news was reported to the Taizhou Governor's Office, and then it was urgently reported to the Beijing Division, according to the conventional disposal was soon issued, and the three places that were affected by the disaster were exempted from taxes and grain for two years, that is to say, the harvest of these two years belonged to Zhao Ziying, and the officials also had the benefit of dividends.

These three places were indeed affected by the disaster, and there were losses, but this loss was completely a drop in the bucket for the two places in Xuzhou and Pizhou, and the recovery was very fast, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was completely different, Xuzhou and Pizhou were tightly blocked, and the people who came here to do business had a tacit understanding, so it was difficult to spread the relevant news, and many people could only judge from the documents reporting the disaster and gossip rumors.

Some people think that Xuzhou was severely affected, even if it is not a major injury, it is also a broken muscle, and the reason why there is not much news is that Zhao Ziying is covering up something, so as not to let people find out that he was injured this time, under such speculation, the rumors are even more outrageous, and some people even say that Zhao Jin has a family member who died in this flood

The flood situation of the Yellow River is frightening at the critical moment, but once the season passes, the water level immediately drops to the point of reassurance, and Xuzhou is relieved and relieved, but Zhao Jin and his partners are not relaxed, the Yellow River in Huai'an Province overlaps with the canal, and Luoma Lake is connected, and then Luoma Lake is connected to various rivers and ditches in Huai'an North District.

This flood, that is, when Juning County was flooded, Luoma Lake flooded with rising water, Yutou Town was not flooded, but the whole town was flooded, and many villages in Huai'an North District were also flooded, and many shacks built of mud were washed away, although there were only a dozen dead and injured people, but it was also a real loss, which made people's minds even more uneasy.

The reason why there is no major harm is that in the final analysis, the water conservancy facilities that are usually built and maintained have played a great role, the ditches are smooth, the drainage efficiency is very high, and the village warehouses and so on were built in a higher place at that time, and they were meticulous in accordance with the rules, and they also gained a lot of benefits this time.

But after this time, the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade had to move to Haizhou, on the one hand, to protect the port of Haizhou, and on the other hand, to leave as much as possible the places that might be affected by the flood.

After the first two groups of Liao people went ashore in Shandong, the third group of Liao people received a fast horse message from Zhao Ziying, asking them to land at the port in Haizhou, because a large number of people are needed there, and this large number of people live in peace, or the local request of Haizhou, Zhao Ziying took advantage of the situation.

For the local officials and gentry in Haizhou, as well as the officials and merchants of the salt administration, they originally slept on the huge profits of Huaiyan, enjoyed the gold and silver sea, drunk and forgot to die, and did not care about anything else, it can be said that it is a pool of wealth and stagnant water, but Zhao Ziying's series of actions in Haizhou have thrown a few stones into this backwater.

The port trade throughput actually has such a huge profit, it is not inferior to this salt monopoly, the better the port is repaired, the more maritime merchants come, the more commercial trade, it turns out that this salt is not only the official salt sold privately to make money, loaded on the ship to the south can actually have higher profits, everyone is sitting on the ground to collect money, but the silver is dead, every day, every month and every year, but now put the silver into the business, there will be a large return immediately.

Haizhou's officials and businessmen began to turn their eyes to Xuzhou and Qingjiangpu, because there were so many business opportunities in these two places, and the money in their hands was so useful that they could invest it in any place to reap huge profits.

They do not lack money, what they lack is action, what they lack is the sense of achievement and harvest of doing things, now they all feel that they originally felt that Haizhou salt industry is a sea of gold and silver, and they have kept it for a lifetime, but they are also afraid in their hearts, such a place should take turns to sit in the village, and they have fished enough flowers for a lifetime, but there is always a day to spend, but to do business and trade, and seize business opportunities everywhere, this is a cornucopia that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Haizhou was excited about these, and even became fanatical, they saw two shipyards under construction, they also wanted to buy ships to go to sea to trade, they saw big trees piled up over there, they also wanted to participate in the trade of Liaodong, they wanted to try every opportunity, they wanted to invest silver in every business, because Zhao Jin would not swallow these, and there were already rich returns.

The rich people who want to take action have great power, they want a bigger port, only Zhao Ziying can provide manpower to build the port, they want to produce more salt farms, only Zhao Ziying can provide manpower to boil salt and dry salt, they want all kinds of labor, and only Zhao Ziying can provide these.
