When Zang Hong opened his sleepy eyes, he was confused for a long time before confirming that this was not his home, but a temple. When he woke up completely, he turned to look out the window at the bright sky. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly propped up his burly body and took a closer look. , after confirming that it was already sunny, Zang Hong turned around and held a rope in front of the bed, swaying, and a pleasant and crisp ringing sounded outside the door.
After a moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a young man came out from the side of the screen. This man was about 15 years old, seven feet four inches tall, which was quite a bit above the horizontal line, but compared with Zang Hong's eight feet, But he doesn't look good enough. He has an average-to-upper appearance, which neither attracts attention nor will he be ignored. It is worth mentioning that he has a pair of extremely bright eyes.
Zang Honghu asked with a face: "Liang Dao, what time is it now?"
"Report to Lord Fu, at the end of Chenshi (about 9 o'clock)." The young man said with a smile. This young man's surname is Jia Kui, with the courtesy name Liang Dao. He is from Xiangling, Hedong. The surname Jia has been a local surname in Hedong for hundreds of years. Grandfather Jia Xi has been in decline for several generations. Jia Xi studied hard for half his life and eventually became a famous scholar in Hedong. However, due to the chaos of the current situation, he never became an official. He could only be regarded as a little cheer up, and his family was still impoverished. Jia Kui lost his parents. Last winter in Hedong It was extremely cold and he had no warm trousers. When he stayed at his wife's brother's house, it was snowy the next day, so he put on his wife's brother's trousers and left.
Naturally, this cannot be said to be polite. Some people think that because he is open-minded and flexible, he will be extraordinary in the future. However, after all, such people are only a minority and are more criticized. Jia Kui's luck is that the new Hedong Governor Zang Hong is one of the few. First, he called him as his assistant. Anyone who was named a disciple was a person close to the prefect of the county. With Zang Hong looking at him differently, Jia Kui could be said to have a bright future. After all, he was only eighteen years old, starting out Already above many children of wealthy families.
Zang Hong snorted coldly and said: "Didn't I warn you that you must wake me up before 5 o'clock? Have you forgotten it?"
Jia Kui said calmly: "Master Fu has not slept for two days and two nights. He went to bed at midnight (0 o'clock) yesterday. It took only two and a half hours. How could he get enough sleep?"
"You kid likes to make your own decisions. I really shouldn't call you to call me." Zang Hong sighed. Three days ago, the earthquake affected most of Hedong, especially the south of Jiangyi (central part). I didn't sleep for two days and nights. I couldn't stand it anymore last night, so I lay down on the bed. I wanted to get up after two and a half hours of sleep, but I didn't expect that Jia Kui made his own decision and let him sleep soundly without waking him up. I slept for five hours. But not to mention, I slept really soundly. If I hadn't been worried about it, I wouldn't have slept for another hour.
Jia Kui said eloquently: "If you don't get enough sleep, you will get tired easily and feel weak. Instead of sleeping for two and a half hours and dealing with political affairs in a hazy manner, it is better to sleep well. Then you will be energetic and energetic, and everything will go smoothly. Who is better and who is worse? It’s clear at a glance.”
"There are always endless evil things in your belly." Zang Hong said this. In fact, he already agreed with what Jia Kui said. He was really full of energy now, as if he could punch a cow if he brought it in front of him. He died. Zang Hong turned over and got on his leather boots. For a high-ranking official like him, who had an official rank of two thousand shi, wearing leather boots was a bit inconsistent with his status, but there was no way. It was the rainy season now, and he frequently left the city because of the earthquake. Although there are carriages to travel in the countryside, you cannot always sit in the carriages. You have to get out eventually. And wearing wooden clogs and silk shoes, you may not be able to walk more than three steps without getting stuck in a mud pit and unable to advance or retreat.
Jia Kui laughed twice and stopped answering. Zang Hong was generous and informal, and could tolerate some jokes, but there had to be a limit in everything. The saying goes too far is not as good as right.
Zang Hong is undoubtedly a good boss, but Jia Kui hopes to join Guan Yu's army, even if he is just a pawn. From the moment the Kwantung Allied Forces launched their troops last year, he has distinguished himself with a reputation that far exceeds that of his peers and even most scholars.
Seeing the future, he deeply realized that the world was probably going to be in chaos. In order to revive the family, a doctorate was useless. Only by joining the army could he get ahead quickly. Therefore, he gave up all books and only studied the art of war with his grandfather Liang Xi.
, memorize tens of thousands of words by rote.
"Gululu..." Before the two of them stepped out of the room, they heard a stomach rumble at the same time.
Zang Hong felt slightly embarrassed. He was eight feet tall and usually ate four or five bowls of wheat rice at a meal. He had not eaten a grain of rice before sunset yesterday, so his belly naturally began to protest loudly.
Jia Kui didn't think it was strange. He obviously knew his Shangguan's situation a long time ago and said, "I'll tell the cook to make some food."
Zang Hong said before Jia Kui left: "The simpler the meal, the better." In other words, the sooner the better, of course he strives for excellence on weekdays, but these are extraordinary times, and he has no time to waste one or two hours on it.
On top of eating.
Jia Kui nodded and left. Zang Hong continued to walk forward and entered the temple's office through the back door. Along the way, the officials who were too busy to touch the ground stopped what they were doing and saluted and said hello.
Zang Hong nodded one by one and inspected the Cao Cao. He suddenly saw three people walking towards him. Two of them were wearing armor and one was wearing a Confucian robe. The younger one was walking in front. He was in his early thirties and tall.
, ape-armed and wasp-waisted, with a face as white as jade, bright eyes, a black and soft beard, densely covered along the lips, and heavy armor with exquisite fish scales, which makes him very majestic. The other armored man is in his forties, with a medium build and an unremarkable face.
, although he is heavily armored, he has a bookish air about him, which shows that he is a person who is diligent in scriptures. There are not many people like him who are in the military and can't let go of the scrolls all year round in northern Xinjiang. They are stationed in Anyi and are responsible for Hedong.
The chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Gai army in the southern part of the county, Zhang Xiu, the commander of the bandit squad, and Tao Sheng, the captain of the bandit school.
That Confucian scholar in his thirties was Zang Hong's most capable assistant. Hedong County's meritorious Cao Wei Jian Wei Boyu. His younger brother Wei Zhongdao was as divine as jade, and his appearance was only half as good as that of Xun Yu, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu.
He is a bit inferior. However, although he is not earth-shatteringly handsome, he is still a handsome man. He can generally attract people to comment in private, but he will not exclaim in public.
Of course, the most commendable thing about Wei Ji is his talent. He became a famous scholar in Hedong in his thirties. After Zang Hong took office, he first asked him to assist and entrust him with county posts, such as Huangfu Song, the governor of the north.
Gai Jun, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao and Zang Hong, from this we can see how famous he is.
"How's it going?" Zang Hong asked the three of them confusedly.
Tao Sheng's face couldn't hide his exhaustion, and he forced a smile and said: "The counties have basically returned to calm, so you can rest assured."
It turns out that the earthquake happened three days ago at night. In the Han Dynasty, common people often shared clothes and pants with one family, so what about their inner clothes? Most of them slept naked at night. The earth shook the mountains at the right time, as if it was the end of the world, and people, regardless of gender, all had sex.
They ran away and gathered together to tell each other. At first, people's hearts were agitated. But as time went by, there were those sly and cunning people who took the opportunity to rape women. As for stealing and robbing, they were too numerous to count. Some even wanted to take revenge.
Complaining and complaining will lead to killing each other.
Earthquakes also inevitably caused fires. As we all know, most of the houses in the Han Dynasty were made of wood. If a house caught fire, as long as there was a slight breeze, it would be connected in a short time, and eventually the whole village would be turned into a sea of flames.
After Zhang Xiu and Tao Sheng learned about it, they immediately sent out troops to suppress the riots, put out the fires, and stabilize the people's hearts. However, some places were hundreds of miles away and could not be taken care of for a while. It was not until the third day that they were covered except those under Dong Zhuo's rule.
, the entire southeastern region of Henan Province.
Hearing this, Zang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed again. He helped the governor of Hedong with Yu, and finally got Hedong back on track. Unexpectedly, a big earthquake suddenly struck him, making everything go back to the original point, or even worse.
Zang Hong stuffed his stomach hastily, and immediately took Jia Kui and several assistants by car to a soup kitchen outside the city.
The fire caused by the earthquake not only burned down the people's houses, but also burned everything, including food. Therefore, Zang Hong had to set up soup kitchens around Anyi and ordered all counties to do the same.
At this time, the rice grain is approaching and the new grain has not yet been harvested. There is not much storage in the county granary. However, no matter how difficult it is, we must feed the people. Otherwise, within a few days, the people will be dizzy with hunger.
Take risks out of desperation.
The purpose of Zang Hong's trip was to supervise the officials to see if they were embezzling food and lining their own pockets. However, when he arrived, he was immediately frightened by the huge queue of thousands waiting to eat porridge. Yesterday there were only a thousand people, what happened today?
Has the child expanded several times?
Seemingly seeing the doubt on Zang Hong's face, Jia Kui pointed at the endless stream of people coming from south to north. Zang Hong's eyes widened, wondering where he could find any reason.
Zang Hong called the supervisor and loudly asked what was going on.
The supervisor smiled bitterly and said: "If you don't come, I have to report to you. There weren't so many people half an hour ago, but they came all of a sudden. These are people under Dong Zhuo's rule. Dong Jun said they have no food."
, we have, the people were half-tempted and half-forced by Dong Jun to come to us. The food that was originally enough to last for a day is now about to bottom out."
"..." Zang Hong was so angry that his face turned livid and he was speechless.
The supervisor whispered: "If Dong Jun drives tens of thousands of people, plus our refugees, they can eat us up in half a month..."
"What do you want to say?" Zang Hong glanced sideways at the supervisor.
The supervisor cautiously said: "Drive them back."
"Fart," Zang Hong cursed loudly. "Dong Zhuo is a traitor, so he never cares about the life and death of the people. Do you think that the hussar general and his servants are the same as Dong Zhuo?" Zang Hong paused and pointed at the supervisor's nose.
: "If you dare to make such remarks again, I will kill you."
The supervisor kowtowed to the ground and said: "The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die...The villain has no other intentions and only thinks about the county and the court."
"That's why I spared your life, otherwise you would have been dead long ago." Zang Hong snorted coldly and added: "You only need to help the victims. I don't need to worry about food."
