The situation of the above-ground river in the lower reaches of the Yellow River was already very serious in the middle of the Song Dynasty. The ten years of military disasters after the Jingkang Rebellion intensified this phenomenon.
Both sides were not innocent. For military purposes, everyone in the Song and Jin Dynasties wanted to let the other side break the dike to consolidate their defense.
But it’s different now. Isn’t this all the land of the Song Dynasty, and the people living there are all the people of the Song Dynasty?
The rain here in the summer has become heavier, and there are many places where the embankments are about to burst. No wonder Zhao Tongpan and others are getting angry. Summer is about to enter the rainy season. If the river embankments are not repaired and strengthened, they will have to break out.
of human life.
This is not just nonsense. There were examples like this last year and the year before that. The whole village was flooded.
Zhao Guanjia has his own code of conduct. This kind of mindless lawsuit requires multiple sources of evidence and even sent a censor to serve as Hu Ning to serve as a shield.
On the day when the group arrived, Fan Zongyin, the strategic envoy of Northeast Beijing Road, Pei Zude, the strategic envoy of Hebei East Road, and Liu Bao, the prefect of Jinan, naturally invited them to a banquet. As for Xin Wenyu, the commander-in-chief of the imperial class who came with him, he was specially approved to go home.
Went to look after the children, so Yu Yunwen took Hu Ning to the table.
As for Liu Hongdao and others, because Guan Jiaming only said that they were here to check the river channel, they could not come to avoid suspicion.
Everyone was a civil servant with Jinshi background, and they all spoke in the same way. Yu Yunwen, who had been in charge of the Military Statistics Department for many years, already had a bad feeling in his heart. Seeing that Hu Ning, that stupid young man, was still being coaxed.
Son, he even sighed for Hu Yin.
Yu Yunwen said: "During the Huolu War, I was captured together with the former soldier Beitutou. He sacrificed his life for charity, and I was lucky enough to live alone. I should go to his home for both public and private purposes. In addition, my Lord Taishan is also from nearby, so many
There are some folks who need to move around, otherwise I won’t be able to explain to my wife when I go back to my wife. Please be considerate and don’t drink anymore today.”
He has already moved out King Zhang Rong of Lu, who dares to keep him?
Hu Ning followed him out, and when the wind blew his mind, he sobered up a lot and said: "Mr. Yu, I'm listening, I'm building dams and opening rivers. Several officials seem to have discussed it, but if this is the case
, how could Zhao Tongpan send three urgent reports to the officials directly, bypassing Governor Liu?"
Seeing that he was not completely confused, Yu Yunwen finally expressed his true feelings, "You and I have to work hard to earn the emperor's salary. There must be something big happening here, so don't make it public."
Hu Ning said: "Then the doctor is really going to visit his old friend tomorrow?"
"Of course I want to go. Xiao Hu, I have some friendship with Brother Ling. Today I will teach you a lesson. Officials have said that sometimes practice brings true knowledge." Yu Yunwen looked at the stars and said.
Hu Ning suddenly felt that the former Tanhualang was charming and had a very majestic figure. So the next day he insisted on following Yu Yunwen to visit the people, but was kicked away mercilessly. You are a censor, this is not deliberately attractive.
Pay attention, go find Xiao En when you have time, you are the companions.
As a result, Yu Yunwen had just visited Beitutou's home to comfort him when he was surrounded by a group of five big men and three rough men. It looked like he and his two followers were as thin as chickens. But who is Yu Yunwen? He has never experienced any wars.
He knew how many times there had been. He immediately calmed down and said calmly: "If you are seeking wealth, I can give it to you, but if you want to kill someone, I am an official of the imperial court. You must think clearly. In peaceful and prosperous times, killing officials is equivalent to rebellion.
"
As a result, the bearded man at the head scratched his head and said in surprise: "Uncle, you don't recognize me, Su Lao Qi? When the eldest daughter got married to you, I went to see her off at home."
Yu Yunwen:......
Another person said: "Yes, we are all King Lu's old subordinates, Brother Xiao En... Xiao Yushi said that he must say something to an understanding person like Mr. Yu. That's why we are waiting for you here. Okay
Go and meet quietly."
Yu Yunwen said angrily: "With your behavior, it's probably difficult to keep a low profile, so quietly!"
"Then why don't you really think that you have been robbed by us? That is, don't tell the elder girl when you go back. We can't stand her pair of sharp knives."
"Go away, take me to see Xiao En!"
Facts have proved that smart people sometimes complicate many simple problems. For example, they all underestimated the role of Xiao En, a rough man, or they can no longer call him a rough man. After following Zhao Tongpan in the past few years, at least
It's no problem to write a thousand-word book, and when it comes to river control measures, he may not understand, but as a fisherman, if you tell me how much it cost to divert water and silt, he still won't see the trick.
Yu Yunwen and Hu Ning listened to Xiao Enzai's detailed introduction for a long time. They were both shocked. Hu Ning could probably put an egg in his mouth. Yu Yunwen was calmer and confirmed: "Xiao Yushi, I definitely don't doubt you.
But this matter involves too much, so I have to be cautious. Are you sure that these things are 100% true?"
Xiao En was in his private house at this time, with a bunch of old brothers sitting there, showing a fierce look, and said: "I dare not say 100%, but there are 10 times 9 times. This is still me pretending not to understand a word.
I don't even know the children, so I deceived them into trusting them. I asked my niece and son-in-law to shout loudly. In the past three years, the money for dam repair under the official light has reached 1 million yuan. As far as I can see, the masonry, stone, and soil they bought are only
I'm afraid that including labor, it's less than 500,000 yuan, and if my prediction is correct, they probably used the sign of doing corvee service and didn't pay the common people at all."
The dumbfounded Hu Ning couldn't believe it, "This place is only a few hundred miles away from Tokyo. How dare they act like this under the eyes of the officials? Besides, Fan Jinglue, although he has some soft-eared problems, he can't help his colleagues.
Have you never heard of his evil deeds of corruption?"
Xiao En sneered and said: "You look like you were raised by an official. Even if you are an official with good moral character, if you are dragged into the water, you can't turn back. You can only try to hide it. How many people have died for this,
They couldn't care less about how big the damage was. If I hadn't been following Zhao Tongpian every day, I would have suspected that he had been harmed."
Yu Yunwen said: "These data of Xiao Yushi are very useful. I have made a statement here to take them back for detailed calculation. But I still have a question. If it is just greed for ink, as far as I know, Liu Hongdao, Governor Liu
He is very honest, never gets involved in these matters, and is not a fool. Why would he turn a blind eye to this incident, and even use his authority to force Admiral You and Zhao Tongpan?"
"Because of the flood discharge." Xiao En's tone became calmer, but still full of resentment. "In the past few years of working together, I have noticed that he regards the Battle of Qingzhou as the greatest shame in his life, and always wants to give him something in his lifetime.
The hometown seeks some welfare, but according to Zhao Tongpan's plan, if there is no flood this year, the flood must be discharged in Yidu, Qingzhou, and thousands of acres of fertile farmland will be destroyed. Although the court will provide subsidies, it is really important to the people of Qingzhou
Cruel. For his own selfish interests in his hometown, he had to turn a blind eye to this matter. His mother's fields and the people of Qingzhou are their lives, but the lives of people elsewhere are not human lives. If the flood is not released, initiate
When a flood comes, the people who die will be drowned and the money will be even greater."
Yu Yunwen and Hu Ning looked at each other, both showing a bit of admiration. Yu Yunwen even said: "Xiao... uncle Gaoyi, my nephew will definitely find out about this matter."
"What else don't you understand?"
"This time the Yellow River flows into the sea, it also involves things in Binzhou. The specific instructions cannot be disclosed because the officials have no words, but if it is true, my nephew and Hu Yushi are willing to sign their names with you and participate in this corpse meal.
The great rat of the country.”
Yu Yunwen kept his word and sent Xin Wenyu back to Tokyo on Pegasus that night, and borrowed troops from the Right Army to contact Zhao Shicheng.
Half a month later, Sean, the censor of the river patrol, officially participated. Pei Zude, the economic envoy of the North East Road in Hebei Province, and Fan Zongyin, the economic envoy of the Northeast Road in Jingdong, embezzled millions of dollars for river control. The corpse of Liu Hongdao, the governor of the river, was left with a vegetarian meal. Zhang Bofen, the magistrate of Qingzhou, Jinan
The prefect Liu Bao knew about it but did not report it.
Yu Yunwen, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Shicheng, Hu Ning, and Xin Wenyu, the imperial censor, all signed the petition.
Such a major case, involving many high-ranking officials, immediately shocked the government and the public.
