Chapter 619

Yan Liqiang lay lazily on the car, closed his eyes and tried not to think about anything. He felt the sound of the wheels turning and the slight bumps on the road. The copper censer in the car was spitting out a dense aroma. It was scorching outside, but the freezer with ice in the car made the temperature in the car several degrees lower than that outside. He felt very comfortable.

Before he became an official, he felt that he was dignified, but after he was really in power, Yan Liqiang found that he was not as relaxed and good as he thought. Especially for people with a sense of responsibility like him, it was easy to eat and drink hot wine and meat every day, but he couldn't live such a life at ease, so he had to bite his teeth, Carry the burden on your shoulders, even if you are tired, bitter or boring, you can only support it. Sitting in this position, you are the dependence of others, and you have no dependence anymore!

There is no other way but to make yourself strong.

Just like now, even if Yan Liqiang wants to be quiet, Qian Su and Lu Wenbin, who are also sitting in the car with him, still let Yan Liqiang with his eyes closed, have to deal with official business at this time.

After the carriage left Pingxi City, Qian Suzai first reported on the official business for half an hour, talking about the current financial revenue and expenditure of Qiyun County, and then it was Lu Wenbin's turn to talk about the construction of the project in the Shatu people gathering area of Pingxi city for half an hour. After the two finished talking in turn, more than an hour passed, and the four wheeled carriage in which the three people were located, Also on the official road, he and his accompanying 500 cavalry guards walked out for dozens of kilometers.

In this process, Yan Liqiang kept his eyes closed without making a sound. Qian Su and Lu Wenbin also knew that Yan Liqiang was tired in the government office of the governor's palace these days, so they were not surprised

"The latest imperial residence newspaper was just sent to the governor's residence this morning. I read it. The residence newspaper said that there was indeed a severe drought in July in Zhuzhou. Although August has not passed yet, it seems that the drought will further aggravate. The severe drought in August in Zhuzhou has become a settlement. Since March, there has been no more rain in many places in Zhuzhou, and the Zhuhe river has almost dried up, The surface of Pinglan lake has shrunk by almost half. In addition to the severe drought, Zhuzhou has also suffered from locusts this year. The residence newspaper said that there may be no harvest this year in the thousands of miles of fertile fields in Zhuzhou. Locusts block out the sky and the sun, and there is no grass in the past. In July, some victims in Zhuzhou began to flee from famine, and the imperial court has been trying to mobilize money and food for disaster relief... "

Qian Su observed Yan Liqiang's face while talking about the news of the drought in Zhuzhou. Although the news was published in the imperial court's residence newspaper and the location of the news was not obvious, Qian Su knew that it was not ordinary news. In fact, the news affected the heartstrings of hundreds of millions of people in the Han Empire, It's a hundred times worse than the drought in Zhuzhou itself

——In May of the 16th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, Liuzhou Tiangou ate the day

——In August of the 16th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, there was a drought in Zhuzhou

The Tiangou food day in Liuzhou has happened, but some people in the capital will still be lucky. The news of the drought in Zhuzhou has completely broken the last line of defense in the hearts of those lucky people!

Everything about the Han Empire, the stone turtle's back has long been predicted, and now it still remains in the capital. By this time next year, it will really have no bones.

Sure enough, as Qian Su expected, Yan Liqiang, who had been resting with his eyes closed before, finally opened his eyes, sighed and opened his mouth when he heard the news about the drought in Zhuzhou in the di newspaper, "is there any news from the imperial capital?"

Of course, the news of the imperial capital will not be written in the residence newspaper, but the governor's Palace also has the news source of the imperial capital. Ganzhou guild hall and the caravan transporting wool products from the first factory in the world will bring back the first-hand news of the imperial capital.

"The imperial capital was a little chaotic last month, because the emperor's majesty and many dignitaries and dignitaries in the imperial capital paid attention to Zhuzhou. They didn't need to wait until the di newspaper was released. Instead, news spread to the imperial capital almost every day in Zhuzhou. Just last month, many dignitaries and dignitaries' families in the imperial capital began to evacuate from the imperial capital in large numbers, There are luxury houses and courtyards on sale everywhere. The whole imperial capital is now in panic. Everyone is trying to find a way. The whole imperial capital's house can't be sold now... "

"Those dignitaries, dignitaries and rich families have a way back no matter where they go, but there are many people in the capital city. The imperial court's residence newspaper this time can have an evacuation strategy!" Yan Liqiang asked.

"It was mentioned in the Di Bao that sun Bingchen advocated that all States and counties within the Empire should undertake the people fleeing from the capital and the capital according to the distance and proportion, and all localities should share it together. Even Ganzhou seems to share the target of evacuating 200000 people in the capital and the capital. However, although sun Bingchen's proposal is good, it is absolutely difficult to do it. This is not an evacuation of 180000 people, It's tens of millions of people. I feel numb when I think about it. If so many people want to escape, it can be solved by the imperial court's order. If so many people move, I'm afraid the situation in several states close to Gyeonggi will be chaotic... "

Yan Liqiang also sighed in his heart. He also expected this situation. However, compared with letting so many people die silently under the natural disaster next year without any resistance and struggle, Yan Liqiang felt that anyway, it would be better to let them know that the natural disaster is coming, and then leave the imperial capital to make a living by their own abilities, Although the latter may also bring a lot of chaos to the place, at least not so many people will die.

"Is there any news about the white lotus sect in the newspaper?" This is what Yan Liqiang is most worried about at the moment. With the urine nature of Bai Lianjiao, Yan Liqiang feels that if Bai Lianjiao doesn't make some moths at this time, it's simply unreasonable. Qian Su shook his head. "There is no news of the white lotus sect in the residence newspaper, but I heard that the white lotus sect in all parts of the Han Empire seems to have disappeared in recent months. Even in the places in the south where the white lotus sect is making a lot of trouble, the white lotus sect has no news at once. I don't know what the white lotus sect is doing!" Yan Liqiang frowned. At this time, the news that there was no white lotus sect may be the worst news“ Uncle Qian, we Qiyun County, I think we should also prepare. There must be many people fleeing from the capital this time. Although Qiyun county is thousands of miles away from the capital, we can also contribute. There are a lot of talents in the capital. I think we can send someone to the capital to attract a group of talents. Craftsmen are preferred. As long as we have a skill or unique skills and skills, warriors can also, Literary craftsmen can also come. As long as one of them is willing to come, we can give his family a place to settle down. Uncle Qian, you can find someone to sum it up and see what talents we lack and how many people we can settle down. You can do it when the train number returns from Yingwei County... "Li Qiang, your idea is good, but it costs a lot of money to do this, Now the governor's residence doesn't have much money, I'm afraid... "Don't worry about the money, uncle Qian. Our Yan family pays 300000 liang of silver. Uncle Qian, just spend it!"“ It's easy to have money. If the money is really used to settle people, I think at least 10000 people can be resettled. That is, the cost on the road is a little big. Those people have skills. As long as they come to Pingxi County, they can naturally find jobs to earn money and support their families. Li Qiang, you are kind... "Ask for peace of mind!" Yan Liqiang sighed and said, "by the way, have I made the machines studied by those craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau?"“ The air hammer you mentioned has been studied for many days and has some eyebrows, but the coin machine you said is a little difficult. Even if you draw the drawings, the craftsmen are still thinking about it. I'm afraid it will take some time... "Speaking of this, Qian Su was a little puzzled." the role of the air hammer is well understood by the craftsmen, But Li Qiang didn't know what the coin machine you said was used for... "Yan Li Qiang scratched his head." the coin machine can divide gold and silver into small pieces with equal weight... "Now gold and silver can also be used. Why do you have to divide them into small pieces and make a special machine?" Qian Su asked puzzled. Yan Liqiang didn't know how to explain to Qian Su at once, because casting pieces of gold and silver into money is of great significance across the times in many ways, but the people of the Han Empire don't understand...
