"Damn it, I've been here so long, what are you doing?" Shen Lengzi lay on the ground dissatisfied, looked up to the sky, and muttered.
A person from Sanfeng next to him smiled softly: "Didn't you know this when you came? We are the Yangbao, and the Yangbao is dedicated to guarding the upper reaches and observing the water level." "What's the use of observing it, I know?" It's because he was attracted by the triple salary." After Shen Lengzi finished speaking, he suddenly became curious: "Hey, Lao Zhang, Zhang Xiaoyue, are you not from Sichuan?" "No." "Lao Zhang" Zhang Xiaoyue shook his head: " I'm from Yuetong, Jiangsu." "This is strange, why are you from Nantong coming to our Sichuan?" Shen Lengzi asked curiously.
Zhang Xiaoyue took off a wine gourd from his waist and took a sip: "I was tired of staying at home in Nantong, so I wanted to wander around, and I ended up in Sichuan. I happened to see Sichuan Nan recruiting sheep newspapers there. I just gave him a name." "Hey, I heard that this sheep newspaper is very dangerous." Shen Lengzi said mysteriously.
Zhang Xiaoyue smiled: "I know, nine out of ten will not survive. But if a sheep is killed, a large number of people can survive. That Wang Hengyue, the guardian envoy, has done a good thing. But I am curious, how did he know that he would Is there a flood?" "I'm interested in the three times the salary and three times the pension." Shen Lengzi sighed: "My family is poor, and the whole family just waits for me to take the money back to support them. I'm really going to die. Then a small sum of money can help my brother finish his studies and support the family. Hey, what about you, Lao Zhang? Are you here for the money too?" "No." Zhang Xiaoyue shook his head: "My family has several acres of land, and there are still some in the city. There's a flour mill and a textile factory."
"You?" Shen Lengzi stared at him with wide eyes, suddenly burst into laughter, rolling on the ground with laughter, humming with joy, and said out of breath: "I, Shen Lengzi, am good enough." You're bragging, I didn't expect you to brag better than me! If you really need a few acres of land at home and a factory, how can you do this?" Zhang Xiaoyue smiled, picked up the wine gourd and drank a few more sips, No argument,
"Hengshuai, the grain purchasers from Hunan, Hubei and other places have returned. Water transportation, land transportation, plus the food sent by Chengdu, the food accumulated in the past few months is enough to support our army for the past year or two." , we bought so much that the prices of surrounding grains also went up!" Wang Hengyue nodded: "I hope we can get through it..."
"By the way, in addition to food and medicine, Qin Guangcheng from Chengdu also invited us a few Western doctors. The leader of the team is called Dim." "Okay, not only Western medicine, but also more Chinese medicine. There are many plagues after the disaster, and they will all come in handy. By the way, "Call me that Dim." After waiting there for a while, Dim, a tall man in his forties, came to Wang Hengyue. .
"You are my employee now." Wang Hengyue said straight to the point: "Do you have any requirements? Salary?"
"No, we can talk about the salary later." Diemud's answer was unexpected: "I am from Bavaria, and the purpose of my coming to [China] is to build a welfare hospital. There are many people in [China] who live very poor lives. Poverty means they cannot afford to see a doctor when they are sick. "So I want to build a hospital that provides free medical treatment to the poor."
Oh? There is such a person? Wang Hengyue did not expect it.
Well, I have Americans under my command, Japanese in the artillery, British and French instructors in the military academy, and a German here. Very good, my place is almost becoming the United Nations.
Dim said with a serious face: "Mr. Guardian, we can not talk about salary for now. But I hope you can build a welfare hospital. My medical team and I are very willing to work here.
"Okay, I promise you!" Wang Hengyue nodded and responded: "I will temporarily open up a place in Leshan to serve as your hospital. You can tell me any equipment you need, and I will try my best to satisfy you!" "Thank you, Lord Guardian.
Then, please take us to visit the place you talked about." Dim was extremely rigid, as if he was born unable to smile.
Wang Hengyue sent someone to take Dim and his medical team there, and then called Wang Qinglu in front of him: "Huaizhao, put aside everything you are doing and focus on the rescue work after the flood arrives.
Organize a group of capable personnel and come out!"
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!" "Is the factory ready?" "Yes, all emergency response has been prepared."
Wang Hengyue pursed his lips: "Go."
He stood there for a while and said, "Come on, let's go to Luzhou!"
"Heng Shuai, why are you here?" Ma Xiaofeng was a little surprised to see Heng Shuai suddenly appear.
"Ma San, have you received all my orders?" Wang Hengyue said directly without any greetings.
"I received it, and Luzhou made preparations, but if the flood really comes, I'm afraid...
"Yes, the flood is really coming, and the little preparation we believe in will not make much difference...Wang Hengyue sighed softly!
"But it's good to be able to save one more person and recover some more losses."
Ma Xiao smiled bitterly: "The problem is, there are still many people who don't believe what we say, and they all say how could there be a flood today?"
Wang Hengyue shook his head: "Let's go, take me to see it!"
The people of Luzhou didn't seem to take the notice too seriously, especially those living by the river. They had no intention of evacuating at all. Life was still the same as it was before.
Wang Hengyue watched there for a while and caught an older man: "Didn't you see the government notice? Floods are coming, why haven't you evacuated yet?"
"There is no flood." The old man was a little disapproving. He took out a dry cigarette, lit it and took a leisurely puff: "In the 31st year of Guangxu's reign, there was a terrible flood. Many people died, not only in Luzhou.
, Yibin, the entire southern Sichuan was flooded, but the flood only occurs once a year, but how many years have passed, how can it happen again? "
Then he pointed to the sky: "Does it look like it's going to rain? Sir, to be honest with you, I'm afraid of a drought."
With that said, he left happily.
"I saw it, Hengshuai." Ma Xiao looked helpless: "I have nothing to do.
Wang Hengyue walked forward silently, and his subordinates followed behind him silently.
As we approached the riverside, we saw many children playing there.
Wang Hengyue came to a middle-aged woman sitting there holding the soles of her shoes: "Sister-in-law, the flood is coming, why are you still here?"
"Hello, sir!" The middle-aged woman saw that it was an official. She didn't know how old he was. She quickly stood up and bowed, but she said disapprovingly: "My man said that there will be no floods. It's not just my family.
Man, that’s what everyone says. What’s more, no matter how awesome the guard envoy is, he can’t be as awesome as Prime Minister Zhuge? Can you figure it out with just a few fingers?”
As he spoke, he sighed: "Besides, where can we really move to? How can we have money?"
"Luzhou has prepared a temporary place for you to settle down. When the flood recedes, the government will provide it for you." Wang Hengyue said kindly.
"I don't believe that there can be such a good thing." The middle-aged woman said with a smile: "Sir, please be quiet, how can you say that there is such a good government?"
He pointed at that one and said, "Look, my man is back."
Wang Hengyue looked over there and saw a middle-aged man striding over. When he saw his father coming back, the four children happily came forward to greet him. The youngest was probably only five or six years old.
Seeing so many soldiers at home, the middle-aged man was startled: "Hello, sir."
"May I have your name?"
"Sir, my name is Fan Pancai."
"Fan Pancai." Wang Hengyue read out his name, which was a bit difficult to pronounce, and pointed to the children around him: "Are these children yours?"
"Yes, yes, it's all mine."
Wang Hengyue nodded: "Give him ten oceans."
Huang Zixuan took out ten silver coins and put them into Fan Pancai's hand.
Seeing Yuan Datou, Wang Hengyue suddenly and inexplicably thought that the "Wang Datou" he had cast had been cast for some time, and he didn't know when it would be available for circulation in Sichuan.
Fan Pancai was baffled when he saw the ocean in his hand.
"I don't want your children to die here." Wang Hengyue pointed at Fan Pancai's four children and said, "Go to Luzhou City immediately. This is what I gave you in advance."
Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Fan Pancai pulled his wife and children and knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed several times, stood up and asked doubtfully: "Sir, is there really a flood?"
"Get out of here! Take your wife and children and get out of Luzhou City!" Wang Hengyue couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly. Then he also shouted at the people in the crowd: "Whoever wants to live will be fucked."
Go to Luzhou City! You don't think about yourselves, you have to think about your wife and children!" Seeing that Fan Pancai's family really got Dayang, these people thought, is this true?
Seeing the commotion of these people, Ma Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Heng Shuai's thoughts,
They won't know until later."
"Yeah, they won't know about my painstaking efforts until later." Wang Hengyue sighed and said, "But it can't be entirely blamed on ignorance. They really had no confidence in our previous government. If we in Luzhou
It won’t take long, just take your time, take your time, and they will have confidence in us.”
With that said, he said to Ma Xiao: "Ma San, I'll leave this to you. We must minimize the loss. I also want to go to Yibin!"
"yes!"
At this moment, there were a few "boom boom" sounds, and a faint muffled thunder came!
Wang Hengyue raised his head and looked at the sky, here it comes, the disaster is finally unavoidable!@.
