Ben Hou is ill

Chapter 81 Magistrate

There was another heavy rain in Hedong.

Yan Zhaoge was dressed in the armor of the Habayashi Guard, and was wearing a coir raincoat, looking gloomy at the granary that had been burnt to the ground more than half of it.

Under the fire, all the evidence that could prove the guilt of Hedong was burned, and even the shortage of the granary was justified. If it wasn't for the heavy rain, the remaining grain in the granary would also be burned.But the floods in the east of the river itself were very serious. Because of the high terrain, Anyi City was safe under the previous heavy rains, but this was only temporary. The water in several nearby rivers rose up.

The dyke at Hukou itself is already unreliable. If it rains for a longer period of time, it will only be a matter of time before the levee breaks.

The servants of the Hedong Yamen braved the heavy rain to grab the unburned food from the granary, but Yan Zhaoge knew that there would not be too much left. , the food that can be grabbed is definitely less than what the captain said was left.

"Marquis Yan, it's raining too much, go back and rest first." Si Chuanshuo stood one step behind her, holding an umbrella for her.

It was raining heavily, even though she was wearing a coir raincoat and standing under an umbrella, her boots were muddy, and the ends of her hair were already wet a lot.

Yan Zhaoge shook his head, and said: "Pass down the order, don't call me Marquis Yan."

Si Chuanshuo was slightly taken aback, and said: "General, the last general takes orders."

He summoned a Habayashi knight and ordered Yan Zhaoge's request, but the other party just nodded and went to carry out the order.

"Is General Zhonglang back?"

"General, General Zhonglang hasn't come back yet." Si Chuanshuo said, "I've ordered you to go down. If you come back, General Zhonglang should come over as soon as possible."

Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly, and looked towards the granary again.

No one was prepared for the granary to leak water, the fire was fierce, and there was heavy rain recently. The people in Anyi City had no water in their homes. When I was in the water, the water in my house became a burden again.By the time the guards from the Hedong Yamen came to put out the fire with buckets, the root warehouse had already been burned, and the wet warehouse might still be rescued.

Habayashi Zhonglang took fifty Yubayashi cavalry to search for people. Yan Zhaoge kept fifty of them by his side just in case, and the rest were taken to the granary to fight the fire. It must be rescued, otherwise if it burns elsewhere, it will not only be a problem with the granary.

The soil under Yan Zhaoge's feet was already soaked and limp. She raised her foot and stepped on it, then squatted down and pressed it with her hands, her hands were covered with muddy water.

"General...?"

Yan Zhaoge raised her hand to wipe the rainwater splashed on her face, she let out a long sigh, and said, "The rainwater is too heavy."

Si Chuanshuo nodded worriedly.

It was getting dark, and the magistrate of Anyi, who brought his guards to rescue food, came over covered in mud.About 40 years old, with a goatee sticking limply on his chin, his official robes were first blackened by fireworks, and then soaked in muddy water, so they have long been out of shape.

Seeing that Yan Zhaoge's eyes fell on his official robe, the magistrate of Anyi wiped his face with his sleeve, and said with a wry smile: "I made you laugh, all the young and strong in the city were dragged to the mouth of the pot to save water, The old, weak, women and children are left at home, so I am too embarrassed to ask others to come out to rescue them, since everyone on the left and right is human, why don’t I lead others to do it myself. I also want to thank the general for helping me, I don’t know your surname?”

"My surname is Si." Yan Zhaoge said.

"Thank you, General Si." Looking at Yan Zhaoge's youthful appearance, the magistrate of Anyi only thought of him as the little prince of his clan who came here to make achievements. If a person has done something, it is not a waste of time, and the people in Anyi will also appreciate his affection.

As long as it's not here to cause trouble, it can help.What's more, this young man's sleeves and boots are all wet, and there are mud marks on the left and right on his face. It is estimated that he has been in the rain for a long time. It is better to come out and see the disaster with his own eyes than to point out the country in the house. .

Si Chuanshuo didn't react at all to Yan Zhaoge pretending to be a member of the clan, and marrying the eldest princess naturally belonged to the clan, so there is nothing wrong with calling Yan Zhaoge Si Yan's family according to common sense.

Anyway, something went wrong with the eldest princess.

"How much food was robbed?"

The county magistrate of Anyi sighed, and said: "30 stones have topped the sky, and there are still many soaked in rainwater. The fire burned down the roof of the warehouse, and when it caught up with the heavy rain, when the wind blows, the grain inside is all gone." Wet."

Yan Zhaoge followed suit, nodded for a moment, and said in silence, "Since it's all wet, the weather in the east of the river can't dry out the grain anymore, so we might as well send it all out, and the left and right need relief. Hasn't the grain in the east of the river not been released yet?"

Anyi county magistrate wanted to say something, opened his mouth, sighed again, and said: "General Si, this grain is not mine either, if I can open a warehouse to release grain, I will never stop it, isn't it I can control things."

"If any people starve to death because of Hedong's refusal to open warehouses to release grain, the first person to be questioned is the governor of Hedong, and the second is you." Yan Zhaoge said: "My surname is Si. I and Zhao Guohou's son are fully responsible, I order you to open the warehouse to release the grain, if something happens, I will take care of it, and it has nothing to do with you."

Yan Zhaoge said it lightly, but hearing it in the ears of Anyi County Magistrate made him feel very complicated. He secretly sighed in his heart that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he was a little envious of the young man in front of him for having such vigor. He was also so high-spirited when he first became an official. He wanted to be the blue sky of all people, but in the end it backfired and he wasted into this appearance.

"General Si, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't control everything in Anyi City."

Yan Zhaoge frowned, and asked in a serious tone: "You are the county magistrate of Anyi, so you can't control the affairs of Anyi?"

"If this Anyi is just an ordinary county, I can take care of it as a county magistrate, but this is the county of Hedong, where there is the prefect's mansion, how can I manage it as a small county magistrate?" said the magistrate of Anyi,

"Even if I'm here, it won't work?"

"There are dozens of emperors of the Jin Dynasty, tens of thousands of clans, and only one Si surname, it won't work."

Si Chuanshuo said abruptly: "The second character of my father's name is family, and his title is Shen. He is the brother of Emperor Renzong. This is my elder brother. He has a close relationship with the first emperor. He and the eldest princess are also friends of each other. If you If you have something to say, you might as well speak it out, I can take care of the big things."

Yan Zhaoge closed his mouth when he heard that.

Pretending to be a clan is actually risky. Once someone with a heart grabs the handle and stabs her to Chang'an, even if the eldest princess doesn't want to, she will be fined. risk.

Who does the prince of the clan want to recognize as his brother, do he still need to inform others?

The county magistrate of Anyi took a deep breath, heir and the identity of the general of Habayashi Guard should be enough to compete with the powerful He Dong.No matter how domineering and powerful the Hedong tyrants are, they dare not force the prince and heir to die. This kind of behavior is despising the clan, and even more despising the Tian family.

He deliberately used Yan Zhaoge's hand to poke a hole out of the Hedong officialdom, and he didn't need Yan Zhaoge to show his identity token. He never considered the possibility that his identity was impersonation, and dumped him like a bamboo tube. Said everything he knew.

The county magistrate of Anyi is 34 and [-] this year, because his family is poor and he can't buy any books, he is not good-looking and he can't marry a rich girl. He was only admitted to the top three Jinshi when he was [-] years old, and he didn't have the money to bribe the household department. The principal, wasted two years in Chang'an before being assigned to Hedong to be the county magistrate.At the beginning in Yichuan County, the Yichuan county magistrate was a dawdle, and everything was entrusted to him, but he did not do badly. Yichuan County passed the class exams for three consecutive years, and Yichuan As a result, the county leader was promoted. In order to thank him for his dedication, the county magistrate of Yichuan recommended him to the governor of Hedong, and he was transferred to Anyi County as magistrate.But the governor of Hedong is a bastard. Although the county magistrate of Anyi is capable, he can make Anyi County's class test be rated as a top, and Hedong's class test can be at least in the upper middle school, but his achievements are not enough to promote the governor of Hedong. , the governor of Hedong had tasted the sweetness, so he refused to let him go. Every time he applied for Chang'an's class test, the evaluation was only above average, so Anyi county magistrate missed the chance of promotion.

When Yan Zhaoge heard about Yichuan, he glanced at the magistrate of Anyi in surprise, but didn't interrupt him, and waited quietly for him to finish speaking.

The magistrate of Anyi first talked about his grievances with the governor of Hedong, and then detailed a lot of things that he thought were problematic.

"General Si, I won't tell you anything. I don't understand food, and I can't look at the account book. I come from Yichuan, and Hukou is in Yichuan. I will tell you about Hukou. Since you are from If you come from Chang’an, you should know that the water overflows from Hukou, and the Hukou dam is just in front of Yichuan County. I don’t know about water control and dams, but I have seen the construction of Hukou dams, five years ago When the Ministry of Industry came to repair the Hukou dam, I was still in charge of the county magistrate in Yichuan. I also helped to carry stones. The stones and wood were fully used, and they were all good materials. The embankment shouldn't have burst," said the magistrate of Anyi.

"But Hukou just broke the embankment, not only the embankment burst, but also the counties and counties near the river east." Yan Zhaoge said.

"But it shouldn't be. Yichuan County is in the lower reaches. It's normal to be flooded, but it should never be washed away. Yichuan was built on the bank of a big river. During the Northern Expedition, Emperor Shizu built a tomb at Hukou in order to retake Guanzhong from the Huns. Yichuan City is convenient for troops to cross the river from now on. The city walls of Yichuan are built according to the fortress. They are all double-layer staggered stone walls. There is room for water in the middle so that it will not be easily washed away. Rice paste, such a connection couldn’t be more reliable. No matter how strong the water is, it shouldn’t break down the city wall of Yichuan, it’s impossible.”

Anyi county magistrate made sense.Yan Zhaoge was meditating, when a few people walked over with lanterns in the distance.

At the beginning were a few servants with lanterns, followed by a few people carrying robes, because it was raining and the road was slippery, so they couldn't sit in sedan chairs, and all the rough horses in the east of the river were sent to pull the stones blocking the water, so it was embarrassing for them Pampered people have to walk outside in heavy rain.

Before Yan Zhaoge could speak, Si Chuanshuo stepped forward and said, "General Yulin Weisi is here, who is it?!"

Yan Zhaoge couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Has this kid read too many story books?

The author has something to say: a little late, all terrains are fabricated.
