The Imperial Palace is located on the north side of the imperial city. The entire palace is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is the palace compound, and the outer city is where the yamen are.
Just when Che Mingde changed into his official uniform and drove to Yushitai early in the morning, in Tangzhou, Lin Haoming couldn't help but frowned as he looked at the common people who were still wearing thin clothes as winter was approaching.
Since leaving the Fox Clan, Lin Haoming has been traveling around the Bai Kingdom, from the southeast to the north, and then over the western foothills of Changlong Mountain, and then started traveling in the Jing Kingdom.
Lin Haoming traveled all the way from Xiwangdong. A few months ago, he heard that the Xihe River in Tangzhou had burst its banks, so he wanted to come over and see what was going on. Unexpectedly, the floods had receded long ago, but what he saw were the people's The people are in dire straits.
"How did the officials in Tangzhou become officials? So many people are in ragged clothes. It's only October now, and it's hot in the south. But in ten days and a half, winter will probably come in the south. By then, I don't know how many people will be here. Freeze to death." He Wanfeng couldn't help but curse.
When He Wanfeng was twenty years old, a group of people happened to be crossing Changlong Mountain. Seeing that she was not too young, she could not stay with Wuniu as an unmarried couple, so Lin Haoming simply went to the top of the snow-capped mountains of Changlong Mountain to marry the two of them. After witnessing the marriage, the two of them were considered to be completely successful. Now He Wanfeng has even put up her hair in a woman's bun. At the moment, it's just because they have to travel with Lin Haoming. When they return to Huangzhou, they plan to settle down. Even Wanniu, It's like having children with his beloved wife, but although He Wanfeng has been with Lin Haoming for a long time, his character as a chivalrous woman has not changed, and she is even more outspoken than before.
"You also said that Jingguo is better than Baiguo, but I think it is not as good as Baiguo." At this time, a voice sounded, who was it if it wasn't Linghuo?
Lingzhu has now cultivated three tails, but this little fox just likes to be held by Lin Haoming. Even if it can transform into a human form, it will never change. Lin Haoming seems to also like to hold this little fox, so the little fox can be as Lin Haoming with peace of mind. pets.
"You little thing are really talkative. This is just a disaster here. Otherwise, it would be better than Bai Guo. It's not like you haven't seen it all the way here." He Wanfeng said.
"You two have been bickering along the way. Now that the people are suffering, don't use this to bicker." At this time, Wu Niu spoke.
Compared with before, Wuniu is really much more mature, but when the little fox heard his words, he immediately raised his head and said: "Brother Wuniu is still sensible."
Hearing what the little fox said, He Wanfeng rolled his eyes, obviously speechless at her lack of self-awareness.
Lin Haoming watched them bickering and found it very interesting. After traveling around the world for such a long time, sometimes it was a bit more lively to have them like this.
"Master, there is a Dragon King in Xihe. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case." Compared to them, Guangzhi paid more attention to the nature of the problem.
"The Dragon King must also follow the way of heaven, and no matter how powerful his magic power is, he can't fight against heaven. It's just that the so-called breach of the embankment this time is not heaven. Let's find the Dragon King of Xihe River." Lin Haoming decided.
"I'm going to find the nearby river god." After hearing this, Guangzhi left immediately.
In the evening, near a river bend, Guangzhi found an old man who looked like a fisherman, but this old man was actually the river god near Tangzhou on the Xihe River.
Lin Haoming has long been famous since the battle with the Fox Clan. Facing him, the Assault River God seemed a little cautious and even fearful as he replied: "Chief Immortal, I really don't care about this matter, and I don't care about the Dragon King either.
The Xihe River has spring floods every spring, but this spring is hotter and rains a little more, making the spring floods slightly greater than in previous years. However, Jingguo strengthened the embankments of the Xihe River more than ten years ago, and it was only because the embankments cut corners that it became a flood.
Leading to the collapse, the little god is just a river god. He has no ability to move mountains and reclaim seas. Even if he wants to, he can't stop it. As for the Dragon King, he is also not that capable. In fact, after the embankment burst, the entire section of the Xihe River
, everyone from the Dragon King to the river gods from all over the place came to help, but it was just like a mayfly shaking a tree, it had no effect at all."
"You mean, this incident was mainly caused by man-made disasters?" Wuniu asked.
The River God nodded and said, "That's true. If the Immortal doesn't believe it, you can continue to investigate. If the Little God is deceptive, the Immortal will destroy the Little God and the Little God will have nothing to say."
Faced with such words, Lin Haoming also believed it and couldn't help but sigh.
"Immortal, in fact, after the river embankment collapsed, causing flooding in eleven counties, Jingguo also sent imperial envoys, and officials of all sizes arrested nearly a hundred people for questioning. Immortal will know these things after a little inquiry." At this time, the River God
Added another sentence.
"But why now, there is no recovery, there are many refugees, and their clothes are in rags. How will we survive in winter?" Wu Niu continued to ask.
The River God sighed and said: "These refugees fled to other states and counties after the flood, but some wealthy families in those states and counties accepted some young men and women, but rejected the old, weak, sick and disabled, and even drove them out.
With the scene that the immortal saw."
"We are from the same country, why is this so?" Guangzhi also didn't understand.
The River God then smiled bitterly and said: "Although we are in the same country, now the local wealthy families in Jingguo are rising. The strong governors of the prefectures and counties can control the prefectures and counties. If they are weak, they will be restrained by the local powerful forces. However, the nearby Shangzhou
, Chengzhou and Tengzhou each have wealthy families, especially the Yang family in Shangzhou, which has the most borders, is a dominant family, just like one country in China."
"I have long heard that the power of Jingguo's clan is getting stronger and stronger. I didn't expect that it has reached such an extent in the southern border counties. Isn't there none in Tangzhou itself?" Lin Haoming asked.
"There is a Tang family in Tangzhou itself, but the Tang family is on the bank of the Xihe River. This time the embankment burst, the Tang family was severely affected. In addition, the imperial envoys came and almost all the Tang family were arrested." The river god said.
"The Tang family is too stupid. Why don't they build a dam properly at their home?" He Wanfeng couldn't understand.
"Although the Tang family is considered the dominant party in Tangzhou, the Tang family also had problems before that. The old man of the Tang family passed away more than ten years ago, and Mrs. Tang took control of the Tang family. Because the old lady favored the younger son, the Tang family inherited
There are many conflicts within the family, and everyone only wants to gain profits, so the little god said that this matter is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster." The river god said helplessly.
"There are three kingdoms in the world. The humble family of Jing Kingdom proclaimed himself emperor, but he followed the old path of Kangxi. The tribes of Bai Kingdom are constantly fighting. The royal family of Kun Kingdom are not united and have serious internal strife. These three kingdoms still want to unify the world. I can't see the hope for a while.
." Wuniu shook his head helplessly.
Lin Haoming also smiled and said: "But on the other hand, whichever country among the three countries can solve the problem will solve everything."
This statement made everyone think it was reasonable, and they all nodded.
