Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

"But this flood washed everything away."

As Zhao Qian spoke, his words were full of disappointment.

Chapter 6 Seventy: Killing with a Soft Knife (1/5)

Qin Mu could see it.

Although Zhao Qian lost his wife and home.

But there is still a lovely daughter who can at least support him to continue his life.

Such is life.

If there is no daughter, I am afraid that Zhao Qian will not be so strong.

Unexamined, walking dead...

Several people are talking.

There was a quarrel not far away.

original.

Quarrels in the disaster area are quite normal, let alone quarrels, there are quite a few fights over the order of dry food.

This is also the reason why Xue Rengui wrapped the dry food in rags and asked Zhao Qian to find a corner to eat.

If it is seen by someone with ulterior motives.

Losing dry food is trivial, and losing life is possible.

Some people are so hungry that they cannot be called human beings.

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui didn't pay much attention to it, but the quarrel came from the coffin field.

The two were originally curious about the coffin field, so they looked over there.

Followed by.

Qin Mu asked, "Zhao Qian, do you know who opened the coffin yard?"

Zhao Qian nodded, and replied: "I know, it was established by the famous tyrant Hu Sanye in Yuezhou City. Not only here, but in other places in Yuezhou, he has opened coffin yards."

Followed by.

Zhao Qian pointed to the side, "Look, benefactor, those landlords who are followed by more than a dozen girls are also members of Mr. Hu."

"The fate of these girls will be miserable in the future. Either they will be sold to various families as domestic prostitutes, or they will be sent to romantic places to become brothel girls."

"Natural disasters are often like this. In natural disasters, ordinary people lose their families and become displaced, but after the disaster, some people treat the people like goods and wantonly buy and sell."

"I would rather starve to death than sell my daughter. Selling children and women is simply not human."

heard.

Xue Rengui frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Then the government doesn't care? Let them do whatever they want?"

"Alas~" Zhao Qian sighed helplessly, "Care? How?"

"Now these gentry have also learned to be smart. When the disaster first broke out, they sent food and money to the government."

"They do some shady things. As long as they don't kill people and both parties agree, the government will turn a blind eye and close a blind eye."

"Furthermore, when the Tang Dynasty is politically clear, if they have nothing to do with the government, they would not dare to be so unscrupulous."

"At the beginning of the flood, they didn't dare to do this. Now that there are more and more victims, and the government's relief food can't keep up, they have no scruples."

"It hurts more when a soft knife kills!"

As Zhao Qian spoke, his words were full of helplessness.

This is something that cannot be avoided in disaster areas.

But today's Datang is much better, at least many government offices in various places are handling personnel affairs.

of course.

It is unavoidable that some corrupt officials corrupt officials who make the country difficult to make money.

This is why Qin Mu brought Xue Rengui down.

They follow a large army, and the fewer corrupt officials there are, the harder it is for them to catch.

Subsequently.

Qin Mu took out some money and stuffed it into Zhao Qian's hand, "Thank you for talking to us so much, you are a man of integrity, come back to Chang'an with me after the disaster is over."

"When I leave, I will come to you."

"By the way, my name is Qin Mu."

Zhao Qian looked at the broken silver in his hand, looked up at Qin Mu, his hands were trembling, and his eyes were moist, "You...you are..."

Qin Mu nodded slightly, made a shush gesture to him, then got up and took Xue Rengui away.

Zhao Qian tightly held the broken silver in his hand, looking at Qin Mu's leaving back, trembling all over.

He never thought of it.

This person is actually Qin Mu, the son-in-law of the dynasty.

Ever since Datang entered Zhenguan, Qin Mu's name has shaken the world, and legends about him have emerged endlessly.

The common people all know that the son-in-law is a good official, a parent official for the country and the people.

But no matter what, he never expected that the one who visited privately in Weifu was actually the son-in-law.

"Help..."

"The people in the disaster area have been saved..."

"My son-in-law is here..."

Zhao Qian muttered to himself, with infinite hope ignited in his heart.

Leave Zhao Qian.

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui came to the coffin yard.

At this point, the quarrel is over.

I don't know if it was the merchant who compromised, or the crying girl with pear blossoms and rain.

After all, the two corpses were put into a coffin and carried by several big men to the cemetery beside them.

This is also considered to be safe in the ground, and will not turn into a lonely ghost.

"Master, I feel that the more these people are like this, the harder it is to deal with."

Xue Rengui scanned the coffin field.

There is still an endless stream of people queuing up to buy coffins inside.

"Indeed." Qin Mu nodded in agreement, "In the past, they would use violence to force the people to submit, but now, they are well-organized, and the unscrupulous merchants have become more shrewd, allowing the victims to bargain. principle, no one persecutes anyone.”

"Alas..." Xue Rengui sighed helplessly, "The black merchant used a low price to get the girls to sign a contract of sale, and forced them to use the only money they had to buy a coffin from the black merchant."

"It seems that you love me, but it is full of schemes of black businessmen."

"What is more terrifying than ghosts and gods is the human heart."

"Aren't these damn black businessmen afraid of being punished by God if they plan on the common people like this?"

"Let's go." Qin Mu said lightly, "Let's go to Yuezhou City, and meet this Third Master Hu, and see what kind of person he is, and play with the people in his hands."

"It is estimated that the bearded man and the others have also found a lot of information."

"Don't worry, before we leave, none of these people will be able to escape, they will all die!"

The prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is suffering.

The ancient truth.

In the flood, the victims were in dire straits, displaced, and slept in the open.

But there are some people who are able to indulge in money and make a lot of money for the country.

Same world, same disaster, different lives.

halfway.

Qin Mu asked Xue Rengui to pass on Feige to Li Chengqian.

Briefly informed Li Chengqian of the situation in the suburbs of Yuezhou, and asked him to send people to expand the scope of grain adjustment, speed up the speed of grain adjustment, and ensure the basic food supply for the people in the disaster area.

I can't even eat enough to eat, and it's nonsense to say anything else.

The two returned to the city, pulled out the horse, and galloped towards Yuezhou City.

The flood in Yuezhou is not the worst.

Because there is Taihu Lake in Yuezhou, Taihu Lake has shared a lot of floods for Yuezhou.

along the way.

Both sides of the official road are full of disaster victims, and from time to time there are teams of government soldiers passing by.

However, there were also soldiers from the past who recruited craftsmen from among the victims.

If it can help repair the river embankment, food supply can be given priority.

Xue Rengui looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, "Master, it seems that these Jiangnan officials are not all working hard. They have already started recruiting craftsmen to repair the embankment."

"If the news received by the court at that time was accurate and the scope of assistance was expanded, why would the common people fall into this kind of land?"

Chapter 671: Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian (2/5)

aside.

Qin Mu smiled and said, "That's for sure."

"The imperial court has been rectifying the administration of officials for some years, and it's the Jingcha, and it's the private visit of Yushitai's incognito."

"If the local officials don't change at all, then the imperial court is too useless."

"Nowadays, the food supply is insufficient, and the overall situation can be stabilized to such an extent, which is considered acceptable."

"I just don't know which official has the foresight and has begun to summon craftsmen to repair the embankment."

Paused.

Qin Mu continued: "Things have already happened, we can only sum up experience so that such things don't happen again."

"No matter how much other things are said, it will not help."

The two were talking.

On the side of the road, dozens of recruited craftsmen had already boarded carts and were dragged towards the Yangtze River embankment by government soldiers.

at the same time.

Li Chengqian has led the Zhenwu Army to the worst-hit area, Ezhou.

Ezhou is completely surrounded by the Yangtze River.

The flood almost destroyed the entire Ezhou.

but.

This is the place where supplies and food are most abundant.

The transportation of materials must be the first to bear the brunt of the hardest hit.

Therefore, almost all the first batch of grains from various places were sent to Ezhou.

Outside the city of Ezhou.

Li Zaixing, governor of Ezhou, went out of the city to meet Li Chengqian in person.

Li Zaixing, courtesy name Zichen, was born in Chengji, Longxi, a side branch of the Li family, and a member of the royal family. If it was based on seniority, Li Chengqian would call him uncle.

Li Chengqian dismounted.

Li Zaixing hurriedly led a group of officials from Ezhou City to meet him.
