Silver Overlord

Yan Liqiang lay on the car lazily, closed his eyes, and tried not to think of anything. He felt the snoring of the wheels and a slight bump on the road. The copper incense burner in the car was exhaling a hint of scent. The sun is hot outside, and the freezer with ice cubes in the car makes the temperature in the car several degrees lower than the outside, and it feels very comfortable.

Before I became an official, I felt that being an official is all-around, but after real power, Yan Liqiang realized that in fact, this official was not as easy and as good as he imagined, especially for a person with a sense of responsibility like him. It ’s easy to eat fragrant and drink spicy wine pool meat forest before and after you hug, but he ca n’t feel at ease with such a day, so he can only grit his teeth and carry the burden on his shoulders, even if tired, even boring, only boring, only Can hold on, sit in this position, you are the dependence of others, and you have no dependence!

There is no other way but to make yourself stronger.

Like at this moment, even if Yan Liqiang wanted to be quiet, Qian Su and Lu Wenbin, who were also sitting in the car with him, still let Yan Liqiang with closed eyes also have to deal with business affairs at this time.

After the carriage left Pingxi City, Qian Su first reported a full half an hour of official business, which was about Qiyun County's current financial revenue and expenditure, and then Lu Wenbin took another half an hour to talk about the Shatu people gathering area in Pingxi City. The construction of the project was completed by two people in turn, and more than an hour passed, and the four-wheel-carriage where the three were located was also on the official road, and the 500 cavalry guards accompanying them walked out. Dozens of kilometers.

During this process, Yan Liqiang kept his eyes closed and did not say anything. Qian Su and Lu Wenbin also knew that Yan Liqiang was tired enough in the government officials of the government these days, so it is not surprising that the two of them ...

"The latest Chaodi Dibao was just sent to the Governor's Guard House this morning. I read it. The Dibao said that July was really a drought in Luzhou. Although August has not passed yet, it seems that the drought will further intensify. In August, the heavy drought in Luzhou was settled. Since March, many places in Luzhou have not rained any more. The Luan River has almost dried up, and the lake surface of Pinglan Lake has been reduced by almost half. Luzhou also suffered a locust plague this year. The Di newspaper said that thousands of acres of good land in Luzhou may have no harvest this year. The locusts covered the sky and the sky was not born. In July, the victims in Luzhou began to flee. The court Already looking for ways to mobilize money and relief ... "

Qian Su said the news of the drought in Luzhou while observing Yan Liqiang's face. Although this news was published in the court's official newspaper, the position of the news was not conspicuous, but Qian Su knew that this was not ordinary news. In fact, this news touched the hearts and minds of hundreds of millions of people in the Empire of Han Dynasty. The impact of this news can be a hundred times more serious than the drought in Luzhou itself ...

-May 16th, Yuan Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Liuzhou Tengu Food Day ...

——August 16th, Yuan Dynasty, Han Empire

The Tengu Food Day in Liuzhou has already taken place, but there will still be some people in Gyeonggi. Fortunately, the news of the drought in Luzhou came, and the last line of defense in those hearts was completely broken!

For everything in the Han Empire, the stone turtle's back already had a prophecy, and it is still in the land of Gyeonggi. By this time next year, it will really only be a dead body.

Sure enough, as Qian Su had expected, Yan Liqiang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, had opened his eyes, sighed, and then opened his mouth when he heard the news about the drought in Luzhou in Di. "Is there any news from the Imperial City?"

The news of the Imperial City will certainly not be written in the Dibao, but the government office also has sources of the Imperial City, the Ganzhou Guild Hall and the endless stream of the Imperial City's caravans carrying wool products from the world ’s first factory. Will bring back the first-hand news of the Imperial City.

"Emperor City was a bit confusing last month, because the news that Her Majesty the Emperor of the Emperor City and a lot of senior officials paid attention to Luzhou did not need to wait until the Di Bao newspaper was sent out, but there was news every day in Luzhou At the Imperial City, just last month, many of the distinguished families in the Imperial City have begun to evacuate from the Imperial City in large numbers, and there are many luxury mansion courtyards sold in the code. The entire Imperial City is now frightened and everyone Thinking of a way, the entire house in the Imperial City is now completely unsellable ... "

"Those noble officials and noble families have a back road no matter where they go. It is just a place of Gyeonggi, with many people. The court may have an evacuation strategy in this residence report!" Yan Liqiang asked.

"The Di Bao mentioned that Sun Bingchen advocated that the states and counties in the empire take over the people who fled from the Gyeonggi region in proportion to their distance, and share it with each other. Even Ganzhou seems to share the evacuation of 200,000 people from Beijing. The indicator is that although Sun Bingchen's proposal is good, it is definitely not difficult to really do it. This is not a matter of evacuating one hundred and eighty thousand, but a population of tens of millions. I think that my scalp feels numb, so If a large number of people are to flee, the next order of the imperial court can solve it. When so many people move, not to mention the land of Gyeonggi, the situation in even a few states near the land of Gyeonggi may be confused ... "

Yan Liqiang also sighed in his heart. He also anticipated this situation, but compared to letting so many people die silently under the calamity next year without any resistance and struggle, Yan Liqiang felt that no matter what, Let them know that Tiancai is coming, and then, depending on their ability, leave the Imperial City to make a living. Although the latter may cause a lot of confusion in the local area, one thing is that at least not so many people will die.

"Is there any news about the White Lotus in the newspaper?"

This Bailian religion is Yan Liqiang's most worried at the moment. Based on the urine nature of Bailianism, Yan Liqiang feels that it would be unreasonable for Bailianism to make no noise at this time.

Qian Su shook his head. "There is no news of Bailianism in the Di newspaper, but I heard that the Bailianism in various parts of the Han empire has disappeared all of a sudden. Even the few white lotus religions in the south have been very bad. In a few places, the Bailian religion had no news at all. I don't know what ghost Bailian religion is doing! "

Yan Liqiang's brow frowned suddenly. At this time, the news that there is no Bailian religion may be the worst news.

"Uncle Qian, we in Qiyun County will also prepare for it. This time there must be many people who have fled from Gyeonggi. Although Qiyun County is far away from Gyeonggi, we can also make a contribution. I can send people to Gyeonggi. When you come to Gyeonggi to recruit a group of talents, craftsmen are preferred. Others who have a skill or unique skills and skills, either samurai or writers, can come. As long as they are willing to come alone, we can give him a family here. There is a place for the young and old to settle down. Uncle Qian, find someone to sum up, and see what talents we have here, how many people we can settle, and we can do it when the trains return from Yingwei County ... "

"Li Qiang, your idea is good, but it takes a lot of money to do this, and now there is not much money in the government office, I am afraid ..."

"You do n’t have to worry about money, Uncle Qian, we have 300,000 silver in Yan's family. You just have to spend it, Uncle Qian!"

"If you have money, you can do it easily. If UU reads www.uukanshu.com, these money are really used to settle people. I think at least 10,000 people can be placed, that is, the cost on the road is a little bit. Those people have the ability, When you come to Pingxi County, you can naturally find a job to earn money. There is no problem in supporting your family. You are kind, Li Qiang ... "

"Please rest assured!" Yan Liqiang said with a sigh. "Yes, did I make those machines that the craftsmen researched?"

"The air hammer you said has been studied for a few days, with some eyebrows, but the coin minter you said is a bit difficult. Even if you draw a drawing, those craftsmen are still wondering, I am afraid it will take some time. Day ... "At this point, Qian Su was a little puzzled." The artisans understand the role of the air hammer, but Li Qiang said that the coin machine you used to do it ... "

Yan Liqiang scratched his head. "That coin machine can divide gold and silver into small pieces of equal weight ..."

"Now gold and silver can also be used, why do we have to divide it into small pieces, and we need to make a machine?" Qian Su asked in puzzlement.

Yan Liqiang suddenly didn't know how to explain to Qian Su, because casting a piece of gold and silver into currency is of great significance in many ways across the ages, but people in the Han Empire did not understand ...
