Chapter 737 Holy Light

"Sir, the power of the earthquake is too great!"

Five days later, from the Weishui River and heading north to the area of ​​Tianshui City, Qianhong also received an urgent message. Tianshui City also suffered considerable damage, and the original completion time would be delayed by about half a year.

Along the way, hungry people in ragged clothes and unkempt faces were seen frequently. Most of them were rushing to Guanzhong to seek help. Even though Zhou Qing had the intention, he had to rely on the strength of the entire Longxi and North counties.

Qin's laws govern disasters, but they never fail to rescue disasters. Otherwise, it will not depend on the Qin government's labor, and how can we get benefits without doing anything?

Yun Shu's voice couldn't help but be surprised. Walking from the Weishui River, we did find a lot of cracks in the ground caused by the earthquake, and houses collapsed everywhere, and the trends of the rivers were reversed.

The interruptions will directly accumulate siltation in the left and right areas, causing greater disasters. The cracks will make Longxi, which is already suffering from drought, even more helpless.

"The power of Haotian is difficult for human power to contend with!"

I have already cultivated to the level of Xuan Guan, which is almost at the peak level, but if I want to say that it can cause a disaster like an earthquake, I absolutely cannot do it. Under an earthquake, the casualties are also heavy. Along the way, I also see the government trying to rectify the chaos.

elephant.

At this moment, he was in the upper place, which was also the location of a large city. With his gaze, his command was conveyed, and he reversed his direction and headed towards the upper city.

Early the next morning!

In Shangzhi City, announcements were posted around the slightly damaged city walls. Longxi was damaged due to the earthquake and drought was approaching. It was time to dig ditches and introduce running water, which required a lot of manpower.

If you can participate in it, firstly, you can offset this year's corvee, and secondly, you can have enough to eat!

The document was conveyed quickly, but within two or three days, the situation in the entire city was stabilized.

And Zhou Qing has continued to go north!

Passing through Wangyuan land and Qin'an land, it reaches Pingxiang in the northwest.

Along the way, we stopped and stopped, and during this period we also received Qin Ting's general measures for Longxi and the North. This also saved Zhou Qing a lot of energy. Even so, it took half a month to enter the city of Pingxiang.

.

"The city walls have all collapsed. Sister Qianhong said in her letter that the Xiangwu area was the most severely affected. The entire city collapsed, with serious casualties, followed by a slightly smaller area."

"I didn't expect that the city walls here in Pingxiang are in such dilapidated condition."

Looking at the city of Pingxiang in front of me, compared to the thick city wall I came to take a look at last time, there is now a huge gap and damage. The inner layer of the gray-brown city wall is exposed, and many people are currently repairing it.

Looking left and right, both sides of the road, and even in the distance, were desolate, with withered grass and trees, broken walls and ruins, and the void was getting hot and dry for no reason. Even though it was approaching autumn, it was still like this.

"grown ups!"

Bai Qianhong, who had already grasped Zhou Qing's whereabouts, was currently waiting with the county magistrate and magistrate of Xiangcheng County, watching a pair of hundred-man black dragon soldiers approaching, with the black dragon flag flying. They were the king's personal guard regiment.

Being able to be protected by this regiment shows the glory of Marquis Wu Zhen.

"Wu Zhenhou!"

"I've met Marquis Wu Zhen!"

"..."

Everyone in Pingxiangcheng County raised their hands and saluted. Outside the broken city gate, the hungry people and deserted fields not far away were reflected, which looked a bit funny.

"No need to be polite."

"You should have received the documents from the king and the government from Xianyang, right?"

Stepping off the carriage, he nodded to Bai Qianhong, and his eyes fell on Pingxiang County Cheng and others. It had been more than half a month since he left Xianyang, and documents had already been left behind seven days ago.

The various strategies he took were similar to what he had guessed, but looking at the situation around Pingxiang along the way, Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows. There were still a large number of hungry people, and he did not implement the strategies mentioned in the document.

"Five days ago, it was indeed received."

The county magistrate in brocade robes came out of the procession, took a step forward, whispered, and looked a little solemn.

"I have seen a large number of hungry people wandering around along the way. It would be a disaster if they were manipulated by someone with ulterior motives."

"There is not enough food and grass in Pingxiang land?"

The land of Pingxiang is not far from Tianshui Lake and has many fertile fields. Therefore, although there is a drought, it should not interfere with the management of Pingxiang. He pointed with one hand at the scattered hungry people in the distance.

asked.

"This..., Marquis Wu Zhen, I am guilty."

"When we received the document, we were already overjoyed. We were preparing to reorganize water conservancy for hundreds of miles around, and those hungry people who were spared would be sent directly to build the Great Wall."

"But that night, the three granaries around Pingxiang all caught fire for no reason. Although they tried their best to put out the fire, they still lost most of the goods, which could barely supply some people in Pingxiang."

"However, I have written a document and sent it to the land of Tongwei, hoping to transfer food and grass. I wanted to let these people go to the border to build the Great Wall, but few people went."

The county magistrate was only in his thirties, and his brows were not as handsome as those of the officials in Guanzhong. He was rather weathered. [Update soon] He tied up his hair and crowned his head, bowed and spoke in a trembling voice.

According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, if something happens to the granary, they cannot escape their involvement. What's more, no reason has been found yet. For those hungry people, according to the benefits stated in the king's book, they can both offset the corvee and have enough to eat.

But they didn't do it.

He didn't dare to use force. Some of them were from the Longxi old gentry clan, and some of them were members of the Ying Qin branch. As the ancestral land of Ying Qin, he had a low official position and it was difficult to contribute.

"How was the damage over there in Tongwei?"

Zhang Han was training his troops in the Tongwei area, so Qian Hong probably knew a lot about this.

"The land connected to the Wei River has not suffered much damage. It relies on the branches of the Wei River, has a radius of six hundred miles of good soil, and has quite a surplus of granaries. Now that the Xianyang documents have fallen, it should not be difficult to transfer them."

Her hair is combed into a high bun and draped softly behind her shoulders. Her eyebrows are still so stunning. Her cultivation level has reached the peak of spiritual transformation. She automatically regulates the inside and outside of her skin. She is swaying with the holy light. Her hair is tied up with jade hairpins and she has two splendid smoky-colored butterflies.

Skirt cover-up.

He took a step closer and spoke softly.

"So, someone wants to cause chaos in Longxi?"

Combining all the information, Zhou Qing had some clarity. In order to win the Qin ancestral land in Longxi, everything was at stake. If someone wanted to cause chaos at this time, it was indeed a good time.

"Do you have any clues?"

I think the two Pingxiang County magistrates and county magistrates in front of me also thought the same way. The three good granaries would not catch fire for no reason. At least the hungry people here would not behave like this.

"Suspected to be the work of a ranger!"

After pondering for a few breaths, the county magistrate raised his head, looked at Marquis Wu Zhen in front of him, and said slowly.

"Like the Mo family's handiwork!"

"The current giant of the Mohist family is Lu Zhenlang. He was previously the leader of the wandering sect in Linzijixia Academy. He is quite proficient in politics and law. It is a clever move to disrupt Longxi and delay Qin's eastward march as a wandering man."

Bai Qianhong on the side also said lightly. Before the city of Tianshui was established, it was supplied by the city of Pingxiang. He also investigated three places where food and grass were on fire.

It's very similar to the Mohist method.

If it were the six-fingered black man who was a giant of the Mohist school, it might not be like this, but the Lu Zhenlang of the Youshi sect is uncertain. He takes a deviant approach and gradually deviates from the original philosophy of the Mohist school.

"Can people from the farm family get involved?"

When it comes to knights, Qin has offended many knights from Shandong countries. The Mohist family is one of them, and the peasant family should not be underestimated.

"Unknown yet."

Bai Qianhong shook his head. The development of the farm family in recent years has mostly been concentrated in the land of Jiangdong, the Chu Kingdom, and the land of Liaodong. Ruoyan tentatively entered Longxi, unlike the farmhouse's chivalrous leader.

"How many troops are currently guarding the city?"

The traces of various schools of thought can be found all over the Xia Dynasty. Zhou Qing put his hands behind his back and looked at the poor people who were repairing the city gate at the moment, and at the soldiers guarding the side.

Look at the Pingxiang County Magistrate.

"Five hundred people!"

The county magistrate responded.

The city of Pingxiang is not big, and it is good to have five hundred soldiers. According to the rule of law of the Qin State, every county has a number of garrison soldiers, unless it is a big city like Xiangwu with a garrison of more than a thousand people.

soldiers.

The rest fell into the military ranks.

"In accordance with the order of the king, I will take charge of the civil, military, military and political affairs of the entire Longxi and two counties in the north."

"Pass this order to send three hundred soldiers to the area of ​​Tongwei to help prevent the rangers from causing trouble."

"Then, with my order, I summoned the governors from Longxi and Beidi counties to come here, and ordered the two county guards to bring the elders of the clans in the county. I have important matters to attend to!"

Turning his hands, Wang Ling's document appeared in his hand, along with the golden book and treasure seal, which was the symbol of taking charge of the entire Longxi and Beidi counties. He looked at the Pingxiang County Magistrate and County Magistrate in front of him and gave the order directly.

If the ranger wants to cause chaos, it will definitely not end immediately.

If the people sent to transport food and grass to the Tongwei area are intercepted by rangers, it will also be a big trouble.

"Here!"

The county magistrate and the county magistrate have no doubts. A few days ago, they also received documents issued by the government. From now on, Wu Zhenhou will indeed be in charge of all important civil and military affairs, holding military and political power, and can be mobilized accordingly.

This kind of trust from the king made the two of them envious. Since Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei, this was the first time that there was such a powerful person in the Qin court.

"Is it because these hungry people are unwilling to go to the border to build the Great Wall? Is it related to those wanderers?"

By building the Great Wall, you can have enough food, and you can be exempted from the corvee. It is a win-win situation. A few years ago, when the whole country fought against Zheng Guoqu, the people in Guanzhong were very happy. There is no reason why people here don't like it.

"This...their unwillingness to go is related to rumors. Now that I heard from Marquis Wu Zhen, I think it was the group of rangers who did it."

"Rumors say that at the border, hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops have gathered to build the Great Wall, which is a dead end. The hungry people are afraid. Although the Qin people are martial, there has been no war in Longxi for more than 30 years."

The Pingxiang County Magistrate's expression paused again, and he bowed his hands and said slowly that there are also many rumors in the two counties of Longxi, making it quite troublesome for them to govern.

Here in Longxi, far away from Guanzhong and the countries in Shandong, although there are soldiers joining the army, most of them have not experienced war for decades and lack the courage to fight.

Fearing the rumors, they were unwilling to go, and they had no choice.bdshare();
