Chapter 372
Gao Lian sprayed his old blood for a long distance, and he had to pay for tying up a horse and throwing out trash.You have to pay for using candles with water, otherwise the water will be cut off and the candles will be cut off, which is too cruel.

When Gao Lian came to the well in the backyard, he saw that the well had been covered by a stone slab weighing hundreds of kilograms.If it was the original, there were too many yamen servants in my family, so I just called out a few and carried them away, but now they are all gone, and I and my master can't carry them with me.

"I want to see Chai Lin, otherwise I will hang myself immediately." Gao Lian Jimaozi shouted.

After a while, Wu Yong, who was sleepy, came and said, "Is my general someone you can meet if you want?"

"Is it interesting to torture people like this?" Gao Lian asked.

"We are serving you, butler-style service, and you have to pay for the service. It's just right and proper. You see, there are guards everywhere inside and outside the government office, let alone more than a hundred people. These people need food, drink, and wages. How can I collect money?" Wu Yong stated the facts and reasoned.

"That can't block the well." Gao Lian said.

Wu Yong said: "Is it the king's soil in the whole world, and the aqua regia in the whole world. You take the aqua regia without paying the management fee. This is wrong. You can only use it after paying the money."

Gao Lian had nothing to say, so he asked people to pay the money, and Wu Yong ordered the people to open the stone on the well.

Wu Yong said: "I learned this from you. The common people have to pay a few cents in tax when they go to the city to sell a goose. If you tie a horse on the street, you have to pay for it. If you don't pay the money, the horse will be confiscated. "

Gao Lian had nothing to say, this was all his way of making money, the horses on the street had to be tied to the hitching posts set by the government, otherwise they would be tied indiscriminately, and they would be fined, one hundred renminbi each time.

In the next few days, Gaotang City underwent a major rectification, the city gate tax was abolished, and the street stall tax was abolished.All the policemen who roamed the streets begging for money have changed. All of them are kind and polite. The bullies who have been bullying the city for a long time have all gathered in the prison. up.

Li Kui reorganized [-] Gaotangxiang troops, and the bombing battalion had a total of more than [-] people.

In the government office, Chai Lin looked at the account book and said: "After coming and going, most of my uncle's family property is gone, and I can't get it back. Let me tell my cousin."

Wu Yong said: "Most of the money was given to Gao Qiu by Gao Lian. Except for Gao Lian's own money, the rest was in the hands of the Cao Yamen of the government, and some of it was divided by the Vulcan soldiers. It's not difficult to come back, and it can be done by putting together a few yamen under the prefect's yamen."

Chai Lin shook his head: "Forget it, it's not my wish to make bloody storms for some money. There is a lot of money and food in the treasury. After the autumn harvest, construction will start, bridges and roads will be repaired. All the official roads in Gaotang will be renovated. For a moment, this high cost is really hateful, and he knows how to make money without caring about people's livelihood."

Wu Yong put a stack of disaster reporting documents in front of Chai Lin, and said: "The suburbs were flooded, and thousands of people were homeless and had no food to eat."

"Arranging relief, selecting sites, and rebuilding the village. Sending the Xiang army to help. What's the use of eating and not working?" Chailin said.

Zhuangzi, which was flooded, is not far from Chaijiagou. Fifteen miles south of Chaijiagou, the river channel used to flood normally and was very spacious. The river bed was more than 100 meters wide. In Shahe Village, a local tyrant built a house, and it was expanded to On the riverbed, the original 100-meter-wide riverbed was reduced to 30 meters wide.

There were no problems in previous years, but this year there was a sudden heavy rainstorm, which was too fierce. The upper river bed was wide and did not cause any harm. When it reached Shahe Village, it broke down. The river bed suddenly narrowed and the river flooded into the village.The villagers were sleeping in the middle of the night, and suddenly they found out why the bed was floating.

Just like that, more than 200 houses disappeared, and dozens of people were killed or injured. The land security immediately reported it. In fact, there is basically no hope of reporting or not reporting, and there is no hope that Gao Lian will send someone to help.

Thousands of disaster victims gathered outside the village, looking at the ruined village, the old man cried and the children shouted, Yangyang is the guarantee of Shahe Village, he saved dozens of people last night, his head was hit by the falling tree, and he arrived My head is still dizzy now.

"Baozheng, look at the soldiers coming." Someone said, pointing to the thousands of officers and soldiers on the official road.

Baozheng was so frightened that he almost lost his cramp.Now that the village has been washed, what else are there to do, and what else is there to take.

"All the big girls and the old ladies are smearing their faces with ashes from the bottom of the pot." Yang Yang shouted.

Everyone is very skilled in business, not to mention the women, even the handsome boys have their faces covered in ashes.

When Chailin rode over, he saw ruins and thousands of ragged villagers.

Chai Lin said, "Who is Baozheng, come here."

"It's me, it's me." Yang Yang definitely couldn't hide, so he stood up bravely.

Chai Lin said: "Natural disasters are merciless, and people are merciful. The villagers are affected by the disaster, and the government should be responsible. Soldiers carry millet, rice, and iron pots. You organize people, set up pots and light fires, and let the villagers eat hot food."

"Yes, yes." Yang Baozheng said.

Jiao Ting led a thousand Xiang troops for the first disaster relief, but they didn't know how to do it.

Under the command of Chai Lin himself, the army took shovels and pickaxes to search for the fallen houses, and dug out those who were injured, even those who were dead.

Dead cattle, sheep and livestock are not allowed to be eaten, and deep pits are dug for burial.

Jiao Ting stared at Niudan's eyes and supervised the surroundings, saying: "All the property of the common people found will be returned, and anyone who dares to hide it privately will be punished."

"Yes." Everyone said.

Military discipline is strict, and no one dares to make mistakes.

"There is a living person here, please help." The search still found a child under a corner, which was just blocked.

There is no heavy machinery, and it is still very laborious to pull it all by manpower.

Chailin said, "Zhengnan, go and help."

"Then brother, there is no one to protect him now." Dian Zhengnan was a little worried, he was a personal bodyguard, Gaotang was not Chaijiazhuang.

Liu Zhuang said, "I'm here."

"You still owe a lot of that skill."

Dian Zhengnan went over and helped to remove a large piece of earthen wall, but the child was still intact.

Some people cleaned up the collapsed houses, and some people went to build tents for the villagers.

Seeing how these Xiang troops were different from before, Yang Yang boldly came over and said, "My lord, thank you for your help."

Chai Lin said: "You're welcome, I've mobilized the surrounding villages to help, and they should be here in a while."

Sure enough, not long after, Chaize arrived with dozens of mule carts full of grain.

Yang Baozheng hastily greeted him. This is the Chai family from the neighboring village, the richest man in the area.

"At the invitation of my lord, I will come to support you. If Yang Baozheng needs anything, just let me know."

What can Yang Baozheng say? After a disaster, he can still eat delicious food and drink spicy food.

"There's nothing else, just that there's not enough food. It's basically washed away. It won't be long until the autumn harvest."

"One hundred catties per household should be used in emergencies," Chai Ze said while distributing grain.

After experiencing life and death this time, Chai Ze looked away a lot.Villagers from other nearby villages also came to support.But they don't take much, after all, everyone is not rich.

 Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket.thanks for your support.
