Soon Zhao Liang sent Zhao Hui and Chen Tong away again, and they were going to the capital Hou Que.

Originally, he was going to the capital, and the second aunt's children were about to be one year old, so he still wanted to go and take a look.

But unfortunately, the Yellow River broke its mouth.

The Yellow River breaks at 97 zhang in Guojiadu, Suining, more than 20 places break at Yifeng County, Jiaoqiao Qujialou, and the north and south sides of the Yangtze River breaks again.

Wherever the water passes, the fields and grains of more than ten counties in Henan and Anhui provinces were flooded.

Even Chenzhou Prefecture was affected by disasters, Taikang, to the north, was affected by disasters, and the Huangshui River spread to Qinghe Post, which was only thirty miles north of Longlukou.

The whole eastern Henan was wailing, and a large number of refugees flocked to flee south.

Guide, Chenzhou, Xuzhou in the Huaihe River and Yingzhou in northern Anhui River, and Fengxiang prefectures were the first to be affected.

In this case, how could Zhao Liang leave?

Zhao Liang has not received any news yet. Anyway, he knows that the empty militias in various places have been quickly filled with Ding Zhuang Labor.

Although they are all ordinary people, holding sticks, swords and guns in their hands can also have a certain deterrent effect.

Especially in the villages and towns in the north, joint security has been launched.

Because everyone is afraid of being impacted by refugees.

Although there are losses in the active way to supply porridge and loose food, the losses are under the control of each household.

But if you are hit by refugees, you will be done.

I can't save my life.

Longlukou is naturally fully united under the banner of the Zhao family, and even the surrounding Cao He and Zheng Ji have already followed the leader of the Zhao family.

The Longlukou militia quickly expanded from 300 to more than 1,000 people, and there were many village residents. As long as people who were not confused, they knew that this was a critical moment. The landlords and gentry in each village and village had all mobilized their tenants, and all of them were organized as long as they were of the right age.

However, in one breath, Da Zhaozhuang came to him, and sent his son, nephew and others to report a specific number.

This is also a promise made to the Zhao family.

As long as you need it, you will greet you and all the people will be brought to you.

Jiang Zhe was very busy in Zhoujiakou because Zhoujiakou is the treasure pot of Chenzhou Prefecture. When encountering such a thing, the merchants there will definitely make a fortune.

Some of them would be even brought to the prefect by him.

Minglun, the prefect of Chenzhou, has been in this position for many years. Both terms have passed, and they have neither moved nor promoted. Their mental outlook is completely different than when they first arrived.

No energy anymore.

Even after he was promoted but not promoted, he even wanted to make money.

And I dare to hold any money.

For example, grain in the grain warehouse.

Why has Minglun’s favor for the Zhao family remained unchanged in recent years? It was not only because the Zhao family’s backing was stronger, but also because the Zhao family gave more money.

And why did he, the prefect, support Jiang Zhe so strongly for the work of judging?

I never seemed to have thought of reaching out to Zhoujiakou to stir up trouble?

That's because Jiang Zhe was tactful and Yin Zi Jing took the initiative to support him.

So this time, after Zhao Liang was fully prepared, he began to recruit refugees to "work for relief" and Minglun turned a blind eye.

He couldn't see it.

He was tormented by the food in Chenzhou treasury. Now that such a sudden incident happened, Minglun could only entrust all the power to Zhao Liang.

What can Zhao Liang do? Don’t help? I’m afraid that Chang’an, the capital, will not agree even if he knows it.

I can only respond, who is Minglun’s origin?

And this is also a good opportunity for him to expand his reputation. As long as things are done and reputation is bought, all the expenses are worth it.

That's why Minglun doesn't care what the Zhao family is going to do, as long as it doesn't cause trouble, he is more willing to be drunk and dream of death in the back yamen.

Refugees from all over the country were led to work in a wave of work at Longlukou.

What are you doing?

The first wall repair is built.

The second is to repair the canal.

The third is to build a road.

The fourth pier is repaired.

The fifth widens the river channel.

There is no reason to give you free meals. They can be seen everywhere in the entire Longlu intersection.

It was called Cao He, and both Zheng Ji were jealous of them.

They were also arranged for the same thing, but everything would not be their turn until the Longlukou business is over.

Zhao Liang planned to take this opportunity to arrange the lair well.

There was no blatant construction of the city wall for Dazhao Village. Dazhao Village is just a wall of more than one zhang high, which is not an exaggeration. At the same time, the Erzhang Town Wall at Longlu intersection was erected. Dazhao Village also dug several more "drainage channels" on the grounds of strengthening water conservancy, and then piled up several earthen mountains around Dazhao Village.

In addition, road construction, dock construction and river expansion, these things are simply planned and arranged, even if he touches his mouth. In fact, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

If it weren't for the chance of the Yellow River breaking, Zhao Liang would have been reluctant to spend so much money to "benefit" his hometown.

Including the money and grain he spent in his hometown, the money and grain he spent in Guide Mansion, and the silver he respected in the river management that he was filial to the top, one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver were scattered out.

It can be said that if Huitong Bank had not made a profit, the Zhao family would have paid for it.

The Zhao family can make money. Songhelou is a cash cow from the Zhao family from beginning to end, but Zhao Liang earns more money and spends more money. Not to mention anything else, there is only one Thirteenth House. In the past two years, there has been more and more money on the books, but in fact, Qidian has not transported a single piece to Longlu intersection.

On the contrary, this place is constantly increasing its capital there.

There is also the matter between the eldest uncle and the younger uncle. One is to throw a lot of silver into the water - now the waterway is the focus, and the other is to spread a lot of silver into the ground - setting up a warehouse from all over the country.

No matter how profitable Songhelou is, it cannot withstand such expenses.

Fortunately, the Zhao family's industry in Ruzhou is still prosperous, and the Zhao family's Huitong Bank is even more of a torrent of cash.

To this day, banks are no longer unique to Huitong, but other banks are not as good as Huitong even if they are tied together.

Who said Huitong was the first to take action? Who said Huitong has a huge background and is unimaginable?

When Fu Changan received dividends at the end of last year, his favorite mouth was grinning behind his ears. The bank's profit was so high that he wrote a letter to Zhao Liang to express his excitement.

After Zhao Liang arranged everything, he thought he could have a few days of leisure and outlined it well in the future.

Let's see if we plan to plan Chen Shan, Zhou Kun, Wang Fu and others, and at least we should make the Qing army tightly.

I never thought that he could not rest as he could, and I don’t know who made the sound of the wind.

Mr. Zhao has become a living Buddha and a living Bodhisattva in the Ten Thousand Family.

Refugees from Yingzhou, Guide and other places flocked to Chenzhou. After the refugees in Chenzhou were absorbed by Zhao Liang, 10,000 or 20,000 laborers had a place to go, and the remaining 30,000 to 40,000 women, children, the elderly and the weak naturally became obedient.

The subject's situation has subsided.

After all, the Qing Dynasty was not a hundred years later, and governments at all levels in various places still had certain administrative efficiency.
