Across the Red Mansion: Jia Amnesty's original partner

039 Jia Amnesty's Promotion

Last time, it was said that something happened to Zhang Lei on the way home, so he will not come back for the time being.What actually happened?

It turned out that there was a severe drought in the Beining area, and the farmers had no harvest. However, the local officials were stupid. Not only did the drought not be resolved, but they also reported the disaster in a panic at the beginning, and later cooperated with local profiteers to seize relief supplies.

All the good rice grains were replaced with moldy old rice. The victims were starved to the skin due to the drought. After eating the moldy grain, the bony victims developed many diseases. Finally, due to improper handling, it eventually turned into a plague. Contagious plague.

In the end, seeing that the matter could not be resolved, the official who had the accident first sent his family away, and then committed suicide in fear of crime. The governor of Xining also submitted an indictment. Of course, he put most of the charges on that The county magistrate who committed suicide went to him, and the petition said that it was his own crime of negligence.

The current emperor, Jin Zeyong, is the one who can't tolerate sand in his eyes the most. If such a big incident happened, he would not be pissed off, so he immediately ordered the removal of many officials who were responsible for the relationship.

And Zhang Lei, who was on his way back to Beijing, was also taken to Beining by an imperial decree. Later, not only Zhang Lei went, but even Jia Amnesty joined him.

Originally, Jia Amnesty was working as a dragon guard in the capital, and it was not his responsibility to do this kind of disaster relief, but who let something happen on the way to disaster relief.

Originally, Jin Zeyong would not have transferred Zhang Lei, who had worked hard for more than half a year, to the disaster relief, but because the previous officials were too corrupt and only cared about their own enjoyment, the people in some areas of Beining were destitute and the people complained.

Not long after the officials sent by Jin Zeyong entered the Beining area, the supplies they brought were robbed. Not only that, most of the relief officials were also killed or injured. It was such a coincidence that Zhang Lei happened to pass through Changzhi County when he came back. Changzhi County is next to Beining.

So Jin Zeyong went down with an imperial decree, and Zhang Lei, who was on his way back to Beijing, ran back to Beining with all his money.

However, Zhang Lei's trip to Beining did not play a big role, because I heard that the supplies brought to the disaster relief were robbed, and a farmer in Xiafeng County in the Beining area rebelled.

Not only did they rob several wealthy families in the town, but they also robbed food and property. Unfortunately, the daughter of a family was raped. Because she resisted when she was robbed, she was slashed with a knife. The girl is beautiful. , and later committed suicide because he couldn't bear the blow of disfigurement.

Even the county government office was beaten and smashed, and several officials including the county magistrate of Xiafeng County were killed by them. Now the entire county government office is deserted.

This is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that because of the chaos in Xiafeng County, the rich families in the surrounding towns ran out one after another.

It's nothing at all, but the reason why people run away is because they have money at home and are afraid of being robbed. Of course, it is impossible to just leave with empty hands when they run out.

As a result, when they dragged their families with their big bags and small bags to move out, those victims who were hungry and dizzy-eyed quit.

What does that sentence say: 50.00% of the interest can make people desperate. Originally, not many people rob rich families, and not so many people are willing to take risks. After all, people at this time pay attention to family, even if People who are not married also have parents, brothers and sisters, not to mention clan relatives, just in case they don't grab something and put themselves in it, just don't implicate the clan.

But now, when everyone's eyes are red from hunger, these wealthy households came out with a lot of gold and silver belongings because they were afraid of being robbed, and the ones with thin skin and tender flesh and rosy faces are not just red fruits. temptation.

This is all right, you put a Manchu banquet in front of these people who are starving to death, isn't this a rush to get people to grab it.

The first few families who left at the beginning of the first day were okay, but the people on the second day were miserable, because the day before, they watched the food, gold and silver being transported away from the carts in front of them, and they were lured and lured for a whole day. The victims couldn't stand it.

After the first household was robbed, there was a second and third household soon. Only a small number of people left by chance the next day, and most of them were robbed.

With the early birds, and seeing that the county government was smashed and no officers and soldiers came over, these looting victims became more and more courageous. Not only did they rob things, they even started to rob people.

Not only those who moved out were robbed, but also those who did not leave and stayed at home. People came to their homes, and the scope was constantly expanding.

People have a herd mentality. Once someone takes the lead in doing something that they dare not do, and there are more people doing it, they will feel that it is no big deal. Therefore, the speed of spread is very fast.

Of course, the people who suffered the disaster were all the people in the outer area of ​​the town. Those who had real background in the town had enough family guards, and the guards of the government office were naturally not so dangerous.

It's just that because of the seriousness of the situation, many wealthy households in small towns and counties have suffered. Jin Zeyong ordered a lot of people to deliver supplies there.

Recently, Jia Amnesty, who has become famous among the dandies in the capital with his successful martial arts, is also among the candidates to deliver supplies.

However, Jia Amnesty was not originally on this list. After all, Jia Amnesty was a well-known master in the capital who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun in the first 20 years. Even if Jin Zeyong wanted to give Jia Daishan a lot of attention, he couldn't find an excuse.

But it is really because the disaster victims in Beining are really powerful, and they have organized 10,000+ people, but they have managed to make a good appearance in just over a month, and the marching behavior is quite prohibited. *

According to the notes Zhang Lei handed back, Zhang Lei suspected that someone was helping the gang of anti-people. There were faint shadows of Da Mo and Roulan.

Otherwise, how could those uneducated disaster victims dare to rob those rich households, and even moved all their warehouses? If no one came up with a plan to beat Zhang Lei to death Do not believe.

Of course, what angered Jin Zeyong the most was that none of the supplies he sent for disaster relief was kept, and eight of the ten people were robbed. How could Jin Zeyong bear it if all the things were robbed on his head?

What's more, there were shadows of Da Mo and Rou Lan who were always eyeing Da Jin. Jin Zeyong immediately sent an army to march there.

Because it was an urgent march, they set off with only ten days' food and all of them were dry food. They didn't even have the head of the army, just to rush to Beining quickly.

Naturally, Jia Amnesty and the other batch of people who delivered the relief supplies didn't want to be too good, because they had to catch up with Tan Youhe's army, so they advanced at a very fast speed along the way.

This time, because they sent a large army, delivered a large amount of supplies, and had reliable disaster relief personnel, the situation in Beining calmed down quite quickly.

But no matter how fast, neither Zhang Lei nor Jia Amnesty could return to Beijing for the New Year, because Zhang Lei still had to do post-disaster reconstruction work, and Jia Amnesty also asked him to use his position to stay and teach for a while.

Jia Amnesty is the son-in-law, not for anything else, but for Zhang Jianing and Zhang Lei, he has to adjust whatever he says~ The teaching is not reliable at all, otherwise Jia Amnesty will turn around and be as crazy as before, facing the insane Jia Shishi. What can I do if I am filial and disregard my wife and children?

Of course, Jia Amnesty was not without merit in this Beining rebellion, because after the previous batch of supplies was robbed, Jia Amnesty followed Zhang Jianing's suggestion, and he exchanged all the gold and silver transported for food. What's more, it's not the kind of rice white noodles, but a lot of old rice and brown rice.

Every time he passed a town, Jia Amnesty went to the local grain merchants to exchange grain, new rice for old rice, fine grain for coarse grain, and even rice bran.

The result of this was that Jia She's delivery of food was doubled several times, and when he was still on the road, rumors about Jia She's accusation came like snowflakes.

Anything corrupt and perverting the law, nothing that doesn't take the emperor seriously, anyway, they say anything, even Jia Amnesty came out to rebel.

Some so-called Great Confucianists jumped out to accuse Jia She of being unworthy of being a human being, and they even wanted to get a hand on the disaster relief supplies. After a while, there were actually many so-called decent people on the side, as if they had already Jia Amnesty sanctioned the same.

However, it was useless, the emperor did not say a word, and after recruiting Jia Daishan, who is now in better health, into the palace, all these papers were suppressed.

Two months later, those who had harassed Jia Amnesty all behaved like men with their tails between their legs, and stayed at home honestly.

There is no other reason, because more than half of those who honestly delivered supplies were robbed by the victims, not only the supplies were gone, but even the people were gone.

However, it was rumored that there was an uproar, and it was finally rumored that the supplies delivered by Jia She, who exchanged rice for rice bran, were not snatched. Jia She successfully reunited with Zhang Lei.

Moreover, the large amount of supplies that Jia Amnesty brought came in handy. There was no rice, old rice, and brown rice mixed with rice bran, but most of the victims were saved at that time.

What about the newly produced rice? After transporting it, it can only be boiled into porridge for the victims to drink. Otherwise, how can the little supplies be enough?

How can it compare to coarse grains such as brown rice, although it is a bit unpalatable, but it can fill your stomach. Another thing, even if there is no drought, most ordinary people now eat these coarse grains, and how many people can afford fine grains?

Therefore, at this time, the people who were bouncing around dare not speak now. Jin Zeyong is very satisfied with Jia Amnesty. He has not returned to Beijing yet. In addition, Jia Amnesty was promoted.
