Chapter 330 Letter

Chapter 330 Letter

Zang Hong signaled the supervisor to stop talking nonsense and do his best to rescue the victims. Regardless of whether he was a local citizen or under Dong Zhuo's rule, he was responsible for solving the food issue. The prefect was the monarch and the authority in the county. Once his subordinates offended him, it would be easy to dismiss him.

, even if they were executed directly, the superiors would not even ask a question. When the supervisor saw Zang Hong saying this, he had to obey the order, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart. The food gap was not small. What would Zang Hong use to fill it?

With the arrival of the people under Dong Zhuo's rule, the soup kitchen used to be enough to sustain food for a day, but now that he saw the end, Zang Hong ordered people to go back to the city to allocate food to ensure that no one would starve.

Later, Zang Hong took people to a small village in the southwest. It was classified as a "li" in the Han Dynasty, with dozens to hundreds of houses in one mile. Hedong is close to the capital, with fertile land and salt and iron supplies.

Li has always had a large population, which once reached more than 90,000 households and 600,000 people. Naturally, this is the registered population. Officials, soldiers and their families are not included in the calculation. In addition, there are also a lot of slaves and tenants of wealthy families, all of whom are related.

Plus, it may exceed one million.

Anyi, the headquarters of Hedong County, is close to the salt pond. It is undoubtedly the essence of Hedong. The small village where Zang Hong arrived has more than 300 households and a population of 2,000. He has served as the governor of Hedong for more than 10 years. He has been here several times and is quite prosperous. Now

It was a dilapidated scene, with 30% of the houses collapsed, and white cloth hung on the door of almost every house. The people, regardless of gender, old or weak, all had sad faces and sighs. Even the children, who were usually the most lively, had lost their smiles on their faces and were stunned.

The earth is with their parents. That earthquake was like a nightmare to them. In their limited knowledge, nothing could be more terrifying than it.

In addition to Jia Kui and other assistants, Zang Hong was accompanied by three elders of rank, tours, and township assistants. There were townships on the top, and these people were all township officials. Generally, a county is equipped with three or four townships.

If the city is rich and prosperous, it has six townships.

Three days had passed since the earthquake. Zang Hong had seen so many tragedies that he was numb. Although he was feeling heavy, he was still calm. He took a brief walk around and went to the next village to inspect...

When the sun was setting, Zang Hong returned by car. Before leaving, he told Youzhi that he must take good care of the people. If there was any shortage of supplies, he could go to the county government to collect them. If the county government did not have enough, he could go to the county government.

On the way back, Zang Hong closed his eyes to rest, thinking silently. Gai Jun recovered the imperial capital Luoyang, and when he returned to Jinyang, he wrote to him, saying that he planned to go south next year and send troops to Guanzhong. Hedong was one of the main battlefields, which gave him more opportunities.

Prepare food and grass. At that time, he agreed very happily. He never expected that when a big earthquake suddenly came, he might not be able to complete the tasks assigned by Gai Jun. Not only that, but now he has to reach out to Gai Jun to ask for food to solve the problem of feeding the refugees.

.

Although Gai Jun successfully obtained a large amount of grain from Jizhou earlier this year, Bingzhou's farmland is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money thrown into it will make a splash. It is estimated that Bingzhou's granary may not be sufficient, and even if there is some, it will be prepared for next year's war. I don't know.

Will Gai Jun squeeze some out for Hedong?

--------------------------

Taiyuan County, Jinyang.

The martial arts training ground of the Hussar General's Mansion is located on the relatively remote west side. It covers a large area and is equipped with all kinds of weapons. On weekdays, the five hundred guards in the mansion work here to exercise and refine their martial arts. On this day, Gai Jun and his son

The three of them came hand in hand. It is not surprising that Gai Jun and Gai Yi often come here, especially the latter. Gai Yi learned archery at the age of five, horse riding at the age of six, and was good at riding and archery at the age of eight. He is now nine years old. Regardless of age and strength,

His skills alone are no less than those of ordinary knights in the army. The guards of the general's palace all know that the young master is naturally gifted, but without hard work, he would never have achieved what he has today at his age.

But today, a relatively unfamiliar person came to the martial arts field, Gai Jun's second son, Gai Mo, who was only seven years old. He was wearing a plain-colored exquisite short coat today. The so-called short coat was different from the loose robes worn by scholars.

, close-fitting, narrow-sleeved, mostly worn by civilians and soldiers, the former needs to work in the fields from time to time, while the latter has to deal with daily training and battles.

Gaimo held the hand of his father Gaijun, pursed his lips tightly, and looked around with his big black eyes with great interest. Cai Wan had always opposed his early contact with martial arts, and believed that he should focus on the scriptures and tie his hair in the early stage.

It was not too late to learn martial arts after he was fifteen years old. Because Gaimo kept begging and Gai Jun strongly supported him, Cai Wan relented and allowed him to learn to ride a horse when he turned seven at the beginning of this year.

In the past five months, I have been able to ride the horse very well. No, I will learn archery as soon as Gai Jun comes back.

However, letting his son ride a horse was Cai Wan's biggest concession, so when he heard Gai Jun's probing words, he flatly refused without thinking. However, unable to resist Gai Mo's coquettish behavior, Gai Jun took advantage of Cai Wan's nap today to bring him here.

Experience the martial arts field. The hardwood bow Gai Yi held when he learned archery at the age of five is still there, so there is no need to make another one, which saves a lot of trouble.

Gai Jun and his two sons came to the center of the field. Gai Yi moved his arms and legs, and immediately took off his bow and shot an arrow as if no one else was watching. He was proficient in archery. He never missed a shot within fifty steps.

Nine shots are skills that the archers of the Han Dynasty must master proficiently. They are divided into standing shots, squatting shots, kneeling shots, bending shots, lunging shots, turning around and shooting from behind, walking shots, running shots, and sitting shots. They include various battlefield shootings.

change.

"Fuping's archery skills are getting better and better. When he grows up, he will definitely be a sharpshooter." Gai Jun nodded repeatedly, and a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes. As a young man, he shot tigers and fell eagles, and was famous for his archery skills in the border areas, but

If I ask myself, nine years old is definitely not as good as Gai Yi.

As a beginner, Gaimo cannot compare with Gaiyi. The target is five steps away.

Gaimo looked at the human target that was very close to him, and then looked at his brother Gaiyi, who was ten times farther away. He curled his lips in dissatisfaction and hummed, "I want to let my brother go as far away."

Gai Jun pinched his second son's pink face and said with a smile: "Why, you haven't learned to walk yet, do you want to learn to run? It's so lofty and undesirable. In this way, as long as you hit it once, I will aim at you."

Delay five steps."

Gaimo said "Hmm" confidently, and as soon as he pulled the bow, his original shape was immediately revealed, and his posture was extremely awkward.

Gai Jun laughed, leaned down, corrected his movements, and explained: "The bow is straightened. Don't spread your feet too wide, close them a little, yes, that's just right. Keep your chest up, your abdomen in, concentrate... shoot."

"As soon as Gai Jun finished speaking, Gaimo let go, and the wooden arrow came out of the string and flew about four steps away. Coincidentally, the arrow bounced off the ground and hit the target pole horizontally.

"I hit it, I hit it..." Gaimo raised his bow and shouted, cheering. Then he hugged Gai Jun and jumped, saying: "Father, I hit it, move the target back quickly."

Gai Jun rolled his eyes and said, "If this counts, why not use a bow? Just throw it with your hand."

Gaimu pulled his little face, pouted his lips as if they were greased, and said: "My father is a majestic hussar general. He doesn't mean what he says. He is so shy..."

"You brat, say it again..." Veins appeared on Gai Jun's forehead...

Gaimu insisted on moving the target, but Gaijun refused to give in. The father and son were at loggerheads. Gaimu was not ignorant, he was just using this to act coquettishly to his father. Gaijun was also happy to enjoy this kind of communication between father and son.

In the end, Gaimo failed to achieve his goal and shot the five-step target honestly. Unlike Gaiyi, who took everything seriously, Gaimo was not very focused. It was not so much that he learned archery out of interest, but to let his father accompany him.

He played and learned archery.

As the sun climbed higher and higher, the temperature soared like a rocket. Seeing beads of sweat hanging on Gaimo's little face, Gai Jun was afraid that he would suffer from heat stroke, so he wanted to take him away. Gai Yi was having fun and didn't want to go back, so Gai Jun wanted to take him away.

Jun then took Erzi into a pergola.

The father and son had a great time chatting about bows and arrows while eating ice-cold lotus seeds.

Half an hour later, several beautiful figures broke into the martial arts arena.

Gaimo smiled like a pair of crescent-shaped eyes when he caught a glimpse of the person coming. He couldn't help but be startled, jumped up with a bang, and said in a hurry: "Father, it's not good, grandma is here, grandma is here...

What should we do? Should we hide?"

"It's okay." Gai Jun smiled and waved his hand. Cai Wan wouldn't be really angry. At most, he would complain and nag a few words. Then he stood up and said, "Since your mother has come to welcome us father and son in person, we can't refute her face. Let's go."

The two parties met halfway, Gai Mo cowered behind Gai Jun, with a sinister look on his face, which made Cai Wan feel funny, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Wei Nu, you are so brave. You thought you could escape with your father's support.

Is this a test? Come here."

"Okay, it's not a good time to stay here for a long time. Go back," Gai Jun held Cai Wan's hand and said with a smile. The weather was hot at this time, and many of the guards at the martial arts arena were undressed and naked practitioners. Although it was not a serious matter at this time, after all it was not

Too elegant.

After everyone left the martial arts arena, Gai Jun asked casually: "When did you wake up?"

Cai Wan replied: "It's been a while. Father just received a letter."

Gai Jun nodded and didn't pay too much attention to it. Cai Yong always received one or two letters every month.

Cai Wan continued: "My father said in his letter that he had recently met a young man from Imperial College, whose surname was Wei, Ji, and whose given name was Zhongdao. He was eighteen years old this year. He had a very good appearance, a good temperament, and outstanding talents. My father wanted to take him as his son-in-law.

Oh, by the way, he comes from the Wei family in Hedong, and is the younger brother of Wei Boru, the great master of Hedong."

"Wei Zhongdao? Wei Boru's brother..." Gai Jun frowned upon hearing this. In history, Cai Wenji's husband, who had only a few years to live, still showed up tenaciously, even though he hid Cai Wenji in Jinyang.

Cai Wan thought that her husband was recalling information about the Wei family in Hedong, and said: "My father means that Wei Zhongdao will come to Jinyang in the near future. That's fine. I'll take a look at it first. If it's just superficial, I'll find an excuse to reject it.

"

"Yeah." Gai Jun instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he thought about Zhang Zhongjing being in Jinyang. He could cure Cai Wan's terminal illness back then, so he might not be able to cure Wei Zhongdao.

"..."
