Chapter 1176 Traveling thousands of miles (Part 2)
The rain finally stopped, and there was joy outside the Longju Mansion of Jingling.
Zhang He stood on the undulating hillside with his waist on his waist, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind him was the pond that was almost overflowing, and in front of him was an endless field.
This pond was built by the military mansion to gather strong men and women, and spent several years to build it bit by bit.
The water gathers from the mountains, fills the lake, and then pours down through the water gate, enters dense irrigation canals to nourish the fields.
During the good weather, the pond is extremely gentle. The gurgling water flows from a high place without a water truck to irrigate the farmland directly. But in heavy rain, it is more troublesome. It really may flood the farmland and villages.
After looking at it, Zhang He went down the hillside and walked into the village.
Some people are holding funerals in the village, and the Li Gua at the west end of the village is.
When the Right Jinwu Guard went to the expedition to Shu, most of the people came back, but there were always people who died in battle and died of illness, and Li Gua was one of them.
He was covered in hot gold juice under Yangguan City, and the iron armor was useless. He died before he could sleep. The house was buried among the Bashan and Shu River.
The comrade brought his luggage and iron armor back, and also had a pension.
The family could only use the clothes he often wore to hold a funeral. At one time, the Taoist priests came to hold a soul-summoning funeral, but they were dissuaded and said that this was useless and was all cheated, so they stopped it.
When he arrived in front of Li Gua's house, Tang Rong, a young man who went on war together, was busy and uninterrupted.
He volunteered to help.
When he attacked Shu, he was hit by a ravine. Others thought he was dead, but only Li Gua found that he was still alive and carried it back.
Finally, he survived.
This is a life-saving grace and cannot be ignored.
Zhang He sighed and moved away.
The plum melon was not lucky, and the millet planted this spring was completely gone, and the loss was huge.
The two sons are young, neither over ten years old. The oldest is a daughter of fourteen or fifteen years old, who actually wants to hold a funeral with her mother.
The soldiers of the palace came from afar and took root in Taiyuan, but they didn't have time to form a clan, so it was so difficult.
After returning home, my wife just came back in a ox cart. When she saw Zhang He, she sighed, "Husband, there are too many yellow run fine cloths in the county and cannot be sold at a price. The market will be held in a few days, so I will go and have a look."
Zhang He nodded.
"It's really good to talk about this fine cloth. The Shu people are so skillful and can put it in the barrel. When making summer shirts, they are not much worse than gherkins, so why is no one buying them?" His wife was still on the verge of rest.
Zhang He was also a little disappointed.
This cloth is indeed light and soft, with a slightly yellowish color. It is made of male hemp produced in Shuzhong, and it seems to be different from the hemp in the north.
After the Shu people weave this kind of cloth, they rolled it and put it into a bamboo tube, which is called "cloth in the tube". The large tube is placed with six feet of cloth, and the small tube can only be placed with four feet.
As a Sima of another department, Zhang He took a lot of things, and he did not choose to ask for silk at that time. He took all the yellow and smooth cloths, with a total of ten cylinders, which is fifteen.
Before going to the war, there was a rumor in the army that a piece of yellow Run fine cloth in Shu was priced at "a few gold". After entering Shu, everyone found something wrong. There were a lot of cloth in Shu, but it was just a small amount of transported out.
When I was in the process of training, some people said that I would use it first on the road to avoid losing the price. Zhang He did not do this and now he regrets it.
Zhongling County is a small place. So many yellow moist cloths are pouring in in one breath. Who will buy them?
Not to mention that this kind of cloth can be used as money, in fact, only gold, silver and copper are real money, while the others are "half money" or "fake money". The longer you put it, the less valuable it is.
"Does anyone want the jade?" Zhang He subconsciously lowered his voice and asked.
The wife was also startled and said cowardly: "I didn't dare to take it out."
Zhang He was speechless.
It is definitely not allowed to hide private spoils, but it is actually difficult to eliminate them. Zhang He also encountered a thief official while pursuing the enemy in Jiangzhou. He shot him to death with an arrow from afar, and then touched his jade belt.
I dare not take out the jade belt as a whole, but it is not impossible to pick up the jade on it and sell it slowly.
But the same thing is said, Zhongling is a small place that will not be sold for a while.
"Forget it." Zhang He waved his hand and said, "Forget it if you can't sell it, leave it as a family heirloom for my son."
After hearing this, my wife responded happily.
Seeing her appearance, Zhang He also laughed.
He has not yet figured out who the thief officer he shot to death. If he has a jade belt, he should be a child of the gentry in Shu. Unfortunately, his martial arts are ordinary, so the other party shot him first. He turned aside and didn't even aim. He raised his hand and killed him with an arrow.
With this little ability, what kind of battlefield is it!
"What did you do when your husband went to the military mansion last night?" Niu Chelin drove into the yard. His wife held Zhang He's hand and walked around the door.
"The King of Qin is here, and the Emperor will arrive later." Zhang He said.
"Ah!" the wife exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang He looked at his wife with disgust and said, "Why are you panic? I've got so many rewards back when I went out to fight, and the whole family has had Xia Shang for several years."
"Yes, my husband is the most powerful." The wife chuckled and said, "It's not in vain that I forced myself to marry you back then."
After hearing this, Zhang He couldn't say anything.
Both of them are from Xiangcheng and have grown up together since childhood. The Zhang family's status is still a little worse. The wife is unwilling to marry her daughter to him, but her wife just doesn't want to marry someone else and recognizes him, so things froze.
Until the battle against Tuoba Xianbei, he killed several people in the chaos and took the same car with the emperor after the war. After taking leave, he returned to Xiangcheng, and directly lit up the official uniform and seal, and the matter was resolved.
He is one of the warriors who changed his destiny in this troubled times, and he is full of gratitude to the emperor.
The soldiers of the Longju Mansion in Jingling had just returned less than a month, but Zhang He wanted to follow the emperor north again. Even if Tuoba Xianbei couldn't grab much stuff, he wanted to go and have a look.
"The King of Qin is here to provide disaster relief." When he walked to the pond, Zhang He said, "Tomorrow I will go to the defense again to see how each family is. The general said that he knew how much the absenteeism had been, so he could talk to the King of Qin."
"Can't you go to the King of Qin and say it?" asked his wife.
Zhang He smiled and said, "General Wu just said that, he put a gift on his face. He is just the governor of the Longju Mansion of Jingling. Can he see the King of Qin?"
"What official did the King of Qin get?" his wife asked again.
"Transportation envoy, comfort envoy."
"Official? Or a great official?"
"After all, you are a relative of the official, remember one by one in the future." Zhang He took a deep breath, raised his chest faintly, and said, "Officers with the word 'encome' are all set up for the matter, and the matter will be stopped."
"Oh." The wife looked at Zhang He with admiration.
Zhang He suddenly felt vanity and said, "The sacrificial envoy has the responsibility to provide disaster relief, and the sacrificial envoy has the important task of transferring. According to General Wu, after receiving the relief grain, the people who were affected by the disaster simply sent troops to go north. Farming cannot make up for the losses of the disaster, so it is better to grab cattle and sheep and enjoy it."
"Can you fight?" The wife subconsciously grabbed Zhang He's arm.
"It's hard to say." Zhang He didn't have many fears in his heart, as if war was an opportunity for him to make a fortune. He had a strong desire to fight. He just continued, "It shouldn't be a big fight. Dai Guo was like that. He killed them back then, so what if he killed them again?
The couple walked like this, crossing the small bridge, crossing the fields, passing through the almost completely deserted countryside enclosure, and climbing a highland.
A power disaster could not crush Taiyuan, which was almost full of government soldiers.
This is the basis of kings and dominance.
*******
Shao Jin has arrived at Dongwolongpu Mansion in Yuci County.
Halfway through, he ordered Zhudi Pavilion to open warehouses and release grain in the name of the pacification envoy, and then fill in the inventory after the relief grain is transported.
These warehouses are not under the jurisdiction of the county and are the main warehouses placed in the main places of Sinong Temple. For example, the Yangchan Warehouse in northwest of Jinyang is the Dongwo Warehouse in Yuci County is the same.
When the officials saw someone taking care of the matter, they stopped hesitating and immediately distributed food to provide disaster relief.
However, this little grain is definitely not enough, so I can only send some of it first to provide relief to some victims. Big heads still have to wait for Henan’s grain to be transported here.
"Your Highness, I have just inspected more than ten households-" Outside the grass pavilion next to the post road, the voice of King Qin Wenxue Guo De came from afar: "Many soldiers in the palace have stored grain. After returning from the war, they have a lot of money, so they can also buy grain. Is it inappropriate to distribute disaster relief grain to them?"
When Shao Jin heard this, he did not speak first, but looked at the others.
The left-hand servant Yuan Dan thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, there are still households in addition to the people of the military government, but they are not as wealthy as the government. There are many gentlemen with great wealth. The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, so they could only work hard to farm and eat, which was extremely miserable. Yesterday, I saw that Linghu was lost in his youth and lived a difficult life. After the farming disaster, the crops were gone and they could no longer survive. They all said that they were all."
Shao Jin continued to look at Lieutenant Chen Kui.
"Your Highness may summon Linghu to come and take a closer look at his knowledge. If you have talent, you can reward grain, silk, or get rewarded for appointment. It will be a good story if it is spread." Chen Kui said.
Shao Jin looked at Lieutenant Sima Yuwen Xibaxiong.
Xibaxiong didn't want to speak, but when he saw the King of Qin see him, he could only say, "Your Highness, why should the emperor do it?"
Shao Jin's heart moved.
"Who will depend on to gain a foothold in Jinyang? The lands of the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Wang family in Qi have been divided for many years." Yuwen Xibaxiong said again.
Shao Jin nodded slowly and said, "The situation in Bingzhou is complicated, and Hu and Han are mixed together. The soldiers of the palace are the pillars of the sky. Do not be careless or even lose people's hearts. The primary task of being alone in Taiyuan is to provide relief to the land of the country to show the court's kindness.
"Besides, the troops in the government must bring their own grain and equipment when going to fight, and the expenses are huge. We still need relief if we need relief. Don't talk about this again. If the households and people have no food to eat, they should go to Puyang to follow the orders and repair the roads and use labor instead of relief. When the grain and beans in Henan come, the problem will be solved."
He said so, and others were not good at talking too much.
After Yuwen Xibaxiong finished speaking, he stood aside, very low-key.
Guo De sighed slightly.
It was so difficult for a gentleman to wear a stern family and insisted on studying, which made him feel hidden, but in the end, the warriors were given priority to help.
"Yan Dao, you take some grain from the car and give it to the children of the Yuci Shi family." Shao Jin said again: "The Huanghuang clan and gentlemen in their clothes are unintentionally sympathetic to such a situation. Your Majesty goes north to Pingcheng, so don't recruit these people, and leave some decentness for them.

"Yes." Yuan Dan was convinced: "After hearing this, the scholars in the world will praise the great king's reputation."
