King of Song

Chapter 465
In Bozhou City, Han Jun sneezed violently, thinking that his uncle must be worried about him again.

The matter of Qingshuize is being dealt with at an accelerated speed, and it will not take long before it can be properly resolved.As for Lin Zhao's affairs in Bozhou, it doesn't matter. He hasn't shown up publicly yet, so he has the opportunity to deal with the aftermath.What's more, there is that old dog Fan Jiyun, who was extremely angry with Lin Zhao because of his son being maimed.

If something happened, Fan Jiyun would definitely take action.There is a saying that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. No matter how powerful Lin Zhao is, in the hands of a local snake like Fan Jiyun, it is not easy to take advantage of it in a short time.What's more, there is an uncle in Daming Mansion who controls the entire Hebei Road, what else can happen?
Han Jun's attitude is very good. He thinks that his uncle has a high status and has made great contributions to the Emperor Zhao's family. He is favored and his status is as stable as Mount Tai.As long as he is there, the sky will not fall.

He is not as knowledgeable as Han Xianggong, and he actually has the style of a dude, so he is somewhat ignorant.So he didn't realize the danger at all, and didn't even take Han Xianggong's advice seriously.

So he delayed the matter of Qingshuize. Hundreds of hectares of land are a lot of food, which is definitely a big loss.Therefore, it was delayed until the autumn harvest time, and now nearly half of the harvest has been harvested, and there are still a lot left.Originally, I wanted to harvest all the harvest, but suddenly something like this happened in Bozhou City.

Lin Zhao came suddenly, of course, maybe it was just a false alarm.

Of course, it’s always good to be prepared.The revelation of Qingshuize's matter will be a trouble after all.Han Jun didn't think there would be too serious consequences. He thought that his uncle Han Qi would help him settle things down, but there were some troubles after all.Not to mention a punishment from his uncle, out of this mentality, he decided to dispose of the remaining grain in Qingshuize and the hundreds of hectares of land.

Speaking of it, Han Jun was really reluctant to part with it. He had made a lot of money from it in the past few years.In the past few years, the Yellow River has been flooded, and places like Hebei are poor and empty, and there is no other source of profit at all.What's more, I'm just a small County Registrar, what extra income can I have?

Han Jun is very clear about how he came to be the head of the book, he was able to get along well, and he received a little bit of respect, all because of his uncle's name.But my uncle is in his sixtieth year, and he will retire soon. He has a lot of experience in such things as people leaving tea to cool down.Although my uncle still has many old disciples, but after all, it is not as much as his own support and protection for him.

Furthermore, Han Jun is somewhat self-aware.He knew that he was not suitable for being an official, and it was okay to have his uncle in Hebei for the past few years.In the future, it will not be possible to go alone in the long run. Since there is no hope for an official career, then you can only find other ways to seek wealth.It is also good to accumulate more property, and it is also a good choice to resign and return to your hometown to become a rich man in the future.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs. It is precisely because Han Jun has such an idea that someone will find him.

Qingshuize was originally a lake, because the sediment content of the Yellow River is relatively heavy, it gradually silts up over time, and the water level is much lower.

So someone took a fancy to that place and started the project of reclaiming land from the lake.The lake is not deep and is easy to clean up.In addition, the sediment deposited by the Yellow River is very fertile, which is a good choice for farming.And it is connected to the Yellow River, as long as the canals are built, irrigation is also very convenient.

Therefore, the lake was reclaimed by people with a heart, and a lot of good fields were reclaimed. After a few years of cultivation, the output was much higher than other places.It has become a rare fertile field in Bozhou.However, Qingshuize is related to the water control of the Yellow River, and the role of flood regulation and flood diversion. After the matter of enclosing the lake for land reclamation is revealed, there will definitely be troubles.

Those who can do such things are powerful in themselves, such as the Bozhou Tongju Fan family.But they feel that protecting this land by themselves seems to be a little too light.So they wanted to find a bigger umbrella, and Han Jun fell into their eyes.

The magistrate of the daimyo, the nephew of Master Han Qi, Hebei Road Xuan Fu envoy, as long as he is pulled in, Han Qi will become their protection.At least there will be no trouble on Hebei Road.Furthermore, Han Qi was a chancellor before, so he was highly respected and deeply rooted in the court. With his protection, he was safe.

Han Jun was pulled in under such circumstances.He was given hundreds of hectares of fertile land for free, and naturally he harvested a lot of grain every year, and the Han army also made a lot of money because of it.All of a sudden, he changed his original predicament of being poor and white.You must know that these lands are created out of nothing, and the court doesn't know it. They don't need to pay any taxes, they only need to hire some helpers, and they earn pure profits.

Han Jun was naturally happy to get so much money.It's just that this matter must be kept from his uncle, he dare not let his uncle know.I have been hiding it well for two years, so I have made a lot of profits.But the paper can't contain the fire after all, and once the outermost layer of paper is burned, the situation may be very serious, and it will become more and more serious.

Since the Ergu River project, the water flow of the Yellow River has gradually increased, which is somewhat threatening to Qingshuize.However, because the water flow in the past two years was relatively small, the impact was very limited and could be avoided completely.But in recent years, the situation has changed.The rainfall in the Yellow River Basin was very heavy and caused very serious floods.

The current is too strong, and it seems that it will submerge Qingshuize.

This is the food and interests of many powerful families, how can it be so submerged?Especially at that time, the people in charge were all juniors who didn't know the importance, and they were even more reluctant to part with the benefits that were about to be obtained.Ever since these people made an astonishing decision, they actually set up cofferdams in the Yellow River, making the water flow gradually slow down.

Qingshuize was preserved, but the nearby Yellow River flood could not be drained out, the water level continued to increase, and there was even a situation of backflow.

A large amount of river water in the east of the Ergu River cannot enter the sea eastward, so it continues to gather and gradually flow back.The water of the entire Yellow River is backlogged in this section of the Ergu River.The water volume of the Yellow River is constantly increasing, and the pressure on the embankment is also increasing. When it is unbearable, it can only be the result of embankment bursting.

As a result, the newly built embankment in the upper reaches of Daming Mansion was not very strong because of the relatively short time.Coupled with the nature of water flowing downhill, this place has the lowest terrain to the north, so the breach almost happened here.

This time the Yellow River broke its embankment, of course it was a natural disaster, it was because of the flood caused by the rainfall.But if it weren't for the eastward flow being unsmooth, timely guidance, and some flood diversion along the way, the situation might not be so bad, and it is possible to cross it without any danger.But there are so many factors combined together in the birth, so the worst result happened...

It was a pity that Han Xianggong was in his sixtieth year, braved the rain and led people to strengthen the embankment of the Yellow River, but in the end such a situation could not be avoided.After the incident, an explanation must be given to the court.Therefore, such a thing was soon found out, and Han Xianggong became furious, and when he was about to arrest someone, he discovered that his nephew was also involved.

Righteous extermination?

Han Xianggong couldn't do it, his parents died early back then, if his elder brother didn't take good care of him, how could he grow up?If it wasn't for his elder brother's hard work to teach and support him in his studies, how could he have the opportunity to roll his name outside the Donghua Gate and become a prime minister with power?People need to know how to repay their kindness. It is because of this kindness that Han Xianggong loves his nephew so much.

Now that he wants to report his nephew, Han Qi thinks he can't do it.A person can be very decisive and resolute in court, but when facing relatives, it is another matter.

Helpless, Han Qi just pretended not to see it, and let his nephew and others go.Then he reported to the court against his will that he broke his mouth because of a natural disaster.Anyway, the Yellow River will burst once every two or three years. It is not surprising that such a thing happens, and it can be fooled.

Furthermore, Hebei Road can cover the sky with one hand, and some things can be fooled in this way.Unfortunately, unfortunately, he forgot one thing. The construction of the Ergu River was in the second year of Xining, and it was the first time that Emperor Zhao Xu managed the Yellow River after he ascended the throne. Wang Anshi was also involved in it. Unfortunately, it ended in failure.

Zhao Xu felt very uncomfortable, how could he let go of such an embarrassing thing?Zhao Xu made up his mind that he must control the Yellow River well. If there is no way to do it, there is no feasible plan and nothing will happen.Out of a series of considerations, Lin Zhao, a partial student, offered a strategy to control the river.

Only then did Emperor Zhao Xu make up his mind to insist on supporting the river control, so naturally he had to thoroughly investigate the cause of the Yellow River's breach.So Lin Shilang just came, and the situation was suddenly out of Han Qi's control.

The current plan can only be to destroy the evidence.The cofferdam in the Yellow River had already been dismantled, but the fertile fields in Qingshuize were not immediately destroyed because of their temporary contact.

It wasn't until now that Lin Zhao suddenly appeared in Bozhou that Han Jun was a little anxious.He is now going to the Tongpan mansion to discuss related matters with the Fan family.

But on the way, he found a situation.

The price of food in Bozhou has risen, and it has more than doubled!
This is the case in several grain stores along the way, which shows that the market is like this.After Han Jun inquired, he realized that because of the flooding of the Yellow River, the entire Hebei Road was short of harvest, and there were many places with no harvest. Rare things are more expensive, and high prices are inevitable.Now it is autumn, and after winter, the price will be higher, so it is purchased and stored at a high price in advance.

When Han Jun heard it, his heart was a little moved. Those hundreds of hectares of land can harvest a lot of food!I only harvested less than half of it, and the rest...

At the thought of doubling the price, Han Jun felt a little moved.

It seems that there is no need to worry about Qingshuize's affairs. The Bozhou man may not be Lin Zhao, otherwise why didn't he show up?Uncle said that he is in Daming Mansion, so he should be right.

So a series of thoughts came to mind to support this idea.Master Han also completely forgot an old saying: Man dies for money, bird dies for food!
