Chapter 365

early august.

Shaanxi.

Shi Kefa stood outside the city of Fugu County, watching more and more leather rafts floating down the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and couldn't help crying.These rafts have been floating down one after another since noon today. By the afternoon, there were already more and more rafts, and they seemed to cover the Yellow River.

Shi Kefa knew about the fact that there would be a raft from the upper reaches to take part in the transfer of the victims. However, when the raft arrived, Shi Kefa had no idea, and he dared not mention it to the victims. He couldn't arrive on time, which hurt the emotions of the victims, so he didn't dare to tell the victims about it. It wasn't until today when he saw a large number of rafts appearing in front of his eyes that he really believed that there were rafts coming down from the upper reaches. Only when it was true did he believe that what imperial envoy Xu Guangqi said in his letter was true.

The disaster victims had already surrounded those kayakers to greet them, and excitedly asked about them, helping to clean up, some helped the kayakers get their rafts ashore, and some helped to carry the rafts, Drying the rafts, some ran to tell each other the good news, and the whole river beach was boiling.

There were more and more rafts, which seemed to cover the Yellow River. Even Baode Prefecture on the other side of the river was shocked. Countless people stood on the river bank to watch this rare "spectacle".

The book office under the immigration officer has already started to register the badges of the rafters and make statistics. The whole scene is boiling.

Standing on the city wall of Fugu County, Shi Kefa could not help weeping silently as he watched this extraordinary scene from a distance. This unprecedented immigrant, unprecedented epic action is really inspiring and tearful.

"My lord, my lord, good news, good news!" Song Zhijie, Shi Kefa's deputy, ran to the city wall with fast steps and shouted from a distance.The soldiers on the city wall saw it, and cast envious and admiring glances. This Sinongsi man is really powerful. There are so many leather rafts appearing on the Yellow River. I am afraid that all the leather rafts from the upper reaches will be brought here. Well, the people from Sinonce really have a solution.

Shi Kefa quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, pretending nothing happened.

"My lord, good news, good news!" Song Zhijie shouted out of breath.

"Zhijie, look at your urgency. I have eyes and can see the arrival of the raft." Shi Kefa said with a smile, with a hint of ridicule.

"My lord, I'm not talking about this. I just received a messenger from Mr. Zhou, the deputy imperial envoy, on the raft, and they floated down together on the raft. He said that Mr. Zhou has already started a large-scale recruitment of rafters upstream. I have bought leather rafts on a large scale, and I am going to buy livestock from the Mongols. My lord, there is no shortage of sheepskin rafts, and I am afraid that there is no shortage of food. By the way, the messenger also said, Mr. Zhou I specially wrote a letter to my lord...Lao Li, Lao Li, hurry up and meet Mr. Shi..." Song Zhijie was very excited, the immigration officer he was following was someone the Donglin Party would train in the future.The leader of the Donglin Party, the deputy imperial envoy still wrote a special letter to take care of him, which shows that he has a bright future with this Lord Shi, how can he not like it.

"Young Li San pays homage to Mr. Shi." The messenger rushed up to the city wall and immediately saluted Shi Kefa.

"Okay, what did Master Zhou say?" Shi Kefa smiled with satisfaction, and began to ask the messenger.

"Returning to your lord, Master Zhou told the younger one that the letter must be delivered, and he also told the younger one to tell the elder that there is no need to worry about the emigration. He has already made arrangements in the upper reaches, and will continue to send the rafts down in the future. You can rest assured, my lord. The disaster victims who come here can be transported first. Master Zhou told you not to worry... Master Zhou also explained that there are still some things in the letter. Please do it according to Master Shi..." The surname Li The courier said something, and then sent the letter.

Shi Kefa took the letter, checked the seal, found it was intact, looked at the handwriting, it was also Zhou Yanru's fault, tore open the letter, and began to read it carefully.

After reading the letter, Shi Kefa frowned.

"My lord, what did Master Zhou say in the letter?" Song Zhijie is Shi Kefa's deputy, and he is going to inquire about the news with Shi Kefa, to see what the deputy imperial envoy said to his lord, so that he can participate and know more about some things. It will be good for him to step into the circle of the Donglin Party in the future. It is a very difficult road to change from an official to an official.

"Zhijie! Master Zhou said in the letter that all the victims of the disaster in this county should be transported away as soon as possible, so as to avoid unforeseen circumstances. These leather rafts sent down should not be distributed to other states and counties for the time being. A group of leather rafts transported the victims of this county directly to Tongguan...don't stop on the way..." The reason Shi Kefa frowned was that the victims of the transfer were relayed from one station to another. The victims in Fugu County only had to It is enough to transport them to Xingxian County or Jiazhou. The immigration officer there will be responsible for transporting the victims there. However, what Zhou Yanru wrote to him is not only to ask him to transport the victims away, but also to transport them away. Let him immediately organize a large number of rafts to transport people directly to Tongguan... This is obviously contrary to the original immigration plan.

Song Zhijie also couldn't figure it out, and thought for a long time: "My lord, what is the meaning of this?" Song Zhijie is not a long-time official, and he is not very clear about these ambiguous things with twists and turns.

"Hehe... Master Zhou said that we want us to show off and use hundreds of leather rafts to form a huge fleet of leather rafts to transport people across Tongguan at one time. The disaster victims on both sides of the strait saw the scene of us transporting people on hundreds of skin rafts, which made the disaster victims along the way have more firm confidence in our immigrants, that's all..." Shi Kefa smiled and said the original words in the letter, Zhou Yanru gave him That's what it said in the letter, asking him to organize hundreds of rafts, carrying thousands of victims at a time, and go directly to Tongguan. A signal, a confidence, look: our Sinong Division has the ability to transport you away, our Sinong Division has countless leather rafts..., this matter, according to Zhou Yanru, is to act for the disaster victims to show off Down the Yellow River.

Although Shi Kefa felt that this reason was sufficient, he felt that this was like showing credit to himself, and he was suspected of grabbing credit, so he felt a little displeased.

"A good thing! My lord, this is definitely a good thing. Master Zhou is really considerate. It is indeed necessary to do so. Nowadays, the disaster victims in Shaanxi are counting on the rafts to save people. If your lord can use hundreds of rafts to form a One can imagine the scene of a huge fleet of skin rafts drifting all the way down the road. Only the victims along the way will know the ability of our Sinongs to immigrate, and will have more confidence in us. Our Sinongs Immigrants will get twice the result with half the effort... In this way, it will be easier for us to emigrate... Hehe, besides, my lord, nowadays, all Shaanxi is making sheepskin rafts, and they are all making sheepskin fetuses, hehe, this sheepskin fetus, The method of transporting people on skin rafts was proposed by adults, and adults should take the lead in displaying and publicizing it, so that other immigration officers and victims along the Yellow River know about your achievements! Sir, I will leave this matter to Zhijie Let's do it, Zhijie promises to do it properly..." Song Zhijie agreed with Zhou Yanru's statement that it is absolutely necessary to go down the Yellow River. , It is estimated that it has not dried yet. If someone can use a large number of leather rafts to demonstrate the function of transporting people with leather rafts at this time, it will obviously cause a big sensation. This credit must be great, as Zhou Yanru said , It is a good thing to show the ability of the Secretary of Agriculture, and it is also a good thing to enhance the confidence of the victims, so he must do it now. He Song Zhijie doesn't want to lose the credit for his achievements.

Although Shi Kefa somewhat dislikes this kind of grabbing credit and showing off himself, as Song Zhijie said, this is also a good thing to increase the confidence of the victims on both sides of the Yellow River, Shi Kefa nodded and said: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to Zhijie Alright, let’s form a fleet of several hundred skin rafts that floated down today, and set sail tomorrow, all the way across Tongguan. The leather rafts are about to float down, and our people from Sinong have already purchased a large number of leather rafts upstream, and are still making more leather rafts, so that the disaster victims on both sides of the Yellow River can see our existence and the hope of immigrants..., To reassure the people..., as for the leather rafts made by the county, they will then transfer the victims to Xing County every day." Shi Kefa immediately made a decision, since this show of his achievements is beneficial to immigrants, let's do it, so.

"My lord, don't worry, Zhijie knows, I'll do it now..." Song Zhijie is naturally concerned about this kind of boasting of his achievements, so he immediately arranged it. Today is only now, and I am afraid that there will be no less than two or three Hundreds of rafts floated down, and by sunset, there may be more. Use these rafts to form a huge fleet of fur rafts to swagger down the Yellow River. It is enough to shock the victims on both sides of the Yellow River. Good leather tires, all the victims here will be transported away in a few days... In addition to the leather raft fleet, a few people have to be sent down to explain to the immigration officers along the way, and to the victims Okay, do a good job of publicizing the raft along the way... Song Zhijie thought about how to do a better job of swaggering down the Yellow River while walking.

It was not dawn the next day, and on the river beach outside Fugu County, the lights were brightly lit, and there was a lot of voices, the adults packed their bags, the children followed the adults, the kayakers were yo-ho, and the immigration officers were doing their work. Final preparations.

This time swaggering down the Yellow River is about to begin.

The super "fleet" composed of hundreds of rafts began to drift down gradually. Although the requirements of the masters were weird, the rafts could not be tied together, they had to be separated, but they had to float together again..., but the rafts Passengers are also familiar with this kind of small leather raft forming a large leather raft, and they are also familiar with forming a "fleet" of leather rafts. Soon, the entire fleet of leather rafts began to float down.

……

On the Yellow River, a magnificent "fleet" meanders down the Yellow River.Hundreds of rafts headed down in a mighty manner with the posture of "spreading the Yellow River".

Not only the fish and shrimps in the Yellow River were alarmed, but also the people on both sides of the Yellow River were alarmed. When countless people saw this fleet, they stopped and watched the fleet flow down the Yellow River.

Countless disaster victims who went down the Yellow River in search of settlements saw so many skin rafts carrying people down, the expressions on their faces were also lifted, and their lifeless faces became pale. With glory, he kept running, waving at the raft, shouting constantly, and the pace of looking down for the immigration point was not much firmer, and the pace was also accelerated a lot.

When encountering an immigration point where a large number of disaster victims gather, the scene is even more heated.

When passing through the Xing County immigration site, the flood victims on both sides of the bank lined up the entire embankment, tens of thousands of people.

The victims of the Xingxian immigration site were "shocked" at the huge "fleet" and the people drifting down from the rafts.

For the safety of the victims, the rafts are only used in the shallow waters along the banks of the Yellow River, which makes the victims even more crazy.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good. A lot of rafts floated down from the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River was covered..." A messenger rushed into the room of the Xing County immigration officer and said loudly.

"What's all this fuss about? Seriously, haven't you never seen a leather raft before? How many are there?" Xing County immigration officer said disapprovingly.These days, Shi Kefa is indeed using leather rafts to transport disaster victims. He knows this. It is said that Shi Kefa was the first to do the slaughter of animals in Shaanxi to make leather rafts. He himself is also slaughtering animals to make leather tires.

"My lord, it's really bad. I'm afraid there are hundreds of leather rafts, hundreds of them! The whole Yellow River is covered... All the victims went to the embankment to see the leather rafts..." This officer probably never lived. Having seen hundreds of rafts floating down together, he said with a flushed face and excitement.

"Hundreds of them?" Xing County immigration officer asked back in surprise. He knew that there was a leather raft at Shi Kefa's place, and it was Shi Kefa's idea to transport the victims. Therefore, on the entire Yellow River, it was Shi Kefa's place that first used leather rafts. Transshipment of victims, but I heard that there are hundreds of them, and the Xing County immigration officer was also surprised. He only planned to slaughter [-] head of animals in Xing County, and he could make [-] rafts at most, and he just finished the slaughter now. [-] to [-] percent, not even a single one was posted, Shi Kefa has made hundreds of rafts, how can this not shock him!

The immigration officer in Xing County was overjoyed when he heard that there were hundreds of rafts in the river. There were so many rafts in Shikefa upstream. When the victims in Fugu County were transported, the rafts would be empty. Now, it's his turn to use those leather rafts. He was very happy because he didn't have the tools to transport the victims. He rushed out to find out what happened. He also received a request from Sinong to make a leather raft, but it's a pity , Those sheepskin tires have not been dried yet. I am afraid that it will take several days to wait for the first batch of sheepskin tires to be dried and made into fur rafts. I don’t know how long it will take until all the skin rafts are completely dried. It became his greatest wish to hope that upstream Shikefa would finish transporting the victims and distribute some leather rafts to him.Now that you hear about hundreds of rafts floating down, why not be surprised, why don't you check it out.

When he ran up the embankment, he was also shocked when he saw the rafts full of water descending in overwhelming momentum.

"This Xianzhi is really capable! How come there are so many skin rafts?" The scene of hundreds of skin rafts transporting people overwhelmed the immigration officer. With this scale and speed, he Xing County In a few days, all of these immigrants will be shipped out of his jurisdiction. The so-called most difficult immigration project in the history, that is to say, he can complete it in ten days.

"Report, my lord, there is a letter from Mr. Shi of Fugu County." A messenger immediately delivered a letter.

The immigration officer immediately opened the letter to look at it.

After reading it, the immigration officer said in an envious tone: "Good skill! Good skill, this constitution, good fortune..." Shi Kefa told him in the letter that the upstream, the deputy imperial envoy of the Sinong Division, Mr. Zhou Yanru, had already arrived at the university. He hired, purchased, and made sheepskin rafts in batches. In the future, more and more skin rafts will float down, not only sheepskin rafts, but also dried meat, that is to say, there is also food. Today, he is doing exactly according to Deputy imperial envoy Zhou Yanru requested that these hundreds of rafts be used to show off the Yellow River and show the disaster victims on both sides of the Yellow River a good show. Therefore, these rafts will not stay in Taxing County, so let him not mind , and by the way, prepared for the arrival of more victims, and said in the letter that when the victims there were almost transferred, the rafts from Fugu County could be used to support Taxing County.

After the immigration officer sighed enviously, he became much more energetic and relaxed.

Looking at the scene of tens of thousands of migrants on both sides of the Yellow River watching the hundreds of rafts descending the Yellow River, he knew that Shi Kefa's limelight this time was considered right and successful. In addition to being envious, he was still envious. At the beginning when he was assigned to this prefecture and county in northern Shaanxi as an immigration officer, he thought that immigration was the most difficult, because there were many disaster victims, little food, and difficulty in transshipment. He transported the disaster victims upstream, so his immigration work could end earlier. In the immigration evaluation, he must be rated as excellent. This will definitely be of great help to his future career. Looking at the raft full of rivers, The immigration officer was even more ecstatic.

There are countless immigrants sitting on this raft, and some stood up excitedly, waving enthusiastically with the people on the shore. It is definitely a matter of honor to be surrounded by so many people, and to be the first to leave this hell It is definitely something worth showing off from the heavenly Shaanxi to the heavenly Jiangnan.

I don't know who started it, but the people on the raft sang the song "Start Over"

"No matter how hard it is, you must be strong..."

"If the heart is there, the dream is there..."

The singing soon spread throughout the entire Yellow River. The people on the bank waved their hands enthusiastically, looked enviously at the people on the leather rafts, and sang along with the people on the leather rafts. Someone taught them to sing this song. song.

"If the heart is there, the dream is there..."

The immigration officer was also affected by the emotions of the victims, and couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Look at success or failure, life is heroic!"
