NOVEL WEB The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu
Chapter 338
Chapter 338
"My lord, can I have another bowl!"
The speaker was an unkempt woman with dirt on her face. After the woman finished speaking, she was afraid of being beaten, so she hurriedly said: "Half, half a bowl is fine."
As she spoke, she opened her eyes and looked back.
In the distance, lay a half-grown boy. The boy was dying, and it should be her son.
Li Jue paused, then glanced at Zhang Xiu next to him, as if asking.
Zhang Xiu nodded, acquiescing.
However, he didn't let Li Jue let go of the porridge relief. First, because during the famine, these hungry people really wanted to eat freely. I'm afraid the [-] hu of grain wouldn't last long.
Secondly, if you really want to let go of eating, these hungry people will eat many people to death. This is still porridge. If it is steamed rice, it is estimated that more than half of the hungry people will be killed.
With his hands behind his back, Zhang Xiu's eyes trembled slightly.
Perhaps, this is the truest portrayal of troubled times.
The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no cock crowing for thousands of miles.
Living people have a hundred leftovers, and they are heartbroken.
Zhang Xiu murmured a few words to himself, with a heavy heart, maybe this is the Three Kingdoms, behind the gathering of heroes are countless people who live extravagantly.
These people have no human rights.
In the era when human lives are worthless, don't talk about Doumi En or Mi En, if you treat them a little better, they will remember it for a lifetime, and there is nothing to repay.
Doumi is not only grace, but destiny!
Because it is too difficult for them to live.
What's more, they don't have the qualifications and ability to hold grudges, because they are nothing but ants, and those who have been gifted to keep them alive will have no fear even if they die.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiu has won the hearts of the people.
Because Jingzhou is indeed a rare pure land in this chaotic world, and this pure land is guarded by Zhang Xiu. Not only that, Zhang Xiu has done too much for them,
Jingzhou may have been better than the Central Plains in the past, at least they would not starve to death, but when Liu Biao was in power, their life was miserable.
Exploitation by aristocratic landlords, cruel government officials, and local tyrants, they are only relatively alive, that's all.
However, Zhang Xiu, who affirmed the law, abolished corvee, suppressed tyrants, reduced corruption, directly eradicated the family, and even created an unprecedented system of people serving as officials.
How dare they think about all the above?
Now, people in Jingzhou live and work in peace and contentment, they can wear new clothes, they don't have to eat porridge when they are hungry, they can eat corn and rice.
They even buy some pork and mutton to satisfy their family's hunger during the New Year's festival, and they are usually willing to make some egg tea for their children and bake two egg pancakes to nourish their bodies.
All of this was given by Zhang Xiu.
In Jingzhou, every household has a shrine to Zhang Xiu, and the people pray for him day and night. If anyone dares to say something wrong with Zhang Xiu, he will be pointed at the spine and scolded.
There was a lazy man who tried to say that Zhang Xiu was not good. His mother took a broom and slapped her a hundred times in front of the neighbors in the neighborhood.
Because of Zhang Xiu's kindness to the people of Jingzhou, the people of Jingzhou have no way to repay them. Perhaps, they can only tell Zhang Xiu with their sincere hearts.
"Master, this..." Zhao Fan looked at the scene in front of him and shouted, but he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, not knowing what to say.
As far as the eyes could see, those refugees were licking the clay bowls, and even a little rice porridge spilled on the ground were carefully pinched and put into their mouths together with the sand.
The point is, they are smiling.
Eating the rice grains with sandy soil, they laughed, which made people feel sad, or feel distressed.
"It will be fine!" Zhang Xiu said silently, and then strode forward, it was the woman, she was holding the thick porridge in her hand and feeding it into the child's mouth little by little,
However, the child did not move at all.
"Xiaobao, wake up, get up and drink porridge." The woman said over and over again, but her voice became more and more trembling, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes unstoppably.
"Xiaobao, don't scare mother, hurry up, get up and drink porridge, mother has made you your favorite thick porridge, it's full of rice grains, it's delicious!"
"Xiaobao, don't sleep, wake up and eat porridge, okay?" The woman became even more distressed as she spoke, holding the child tightly in her arms and tremblingly said: "Xiaobao, mother, mother will accompany you!"
As Zhang Xiu approached, Zhao Fan felt sad and took a step forward: "You, your child has already..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt, with a gentle smile on his face, he slowly lowered his body, reached out and caressed the child's cold face,
Over and over again, slowly wipe off the ashes.
What was exposed was a green and immature face, but that face was pale and bloodless at the moment, and even a little sunken, because the fat had been exhausted.
Zhang Xiu's heart is as strong as iron, but even so, the corners of his eyes were sore, and he closed his eyes instinctively, letting the hot tears stay in the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't hold back.
This age of seven or eight years old should be the same age as flowers in later generations, enjoying the love of their parents and enjoying the world of flowers without worry.
But the boy in front of him is already dead.
Those who starved to death, the fat dried up.
And for a mother, the most painful thing is losing a child in middle age!
What kind of era is this?
Is this era really exciting?
"Ma'am, he's already asleep, let him sleep well! There is no suffering, no oppression, and there are many, many delicious foods." Zhang Xiu said with a choked voice.
He still can't understand the pain of losing a child.
But he knew that this kind of thing was happening all the time in this world.
The woman nodded, and ignored Zhang Xiu. Instead, she held the child in her arms, rocked her body gently, and hummed a children's song, as if she was trying to lull him to sleep.
Zhang Xiu got up and didn't speak for a long time.
Because he knows that he cannot change a family, not to mention that his duty is not to benefit a family, but to benefit all people in the world.
Unknowingly, Zhang Xiu has taken all the ups and downs, honors and disgraces of the common people on her body, because Zhang Xiu doesn't want to see the cruelty of the world again,
Moreover, only he can end this era.
"My lord, please order me to go to Yingchuan to kill those corrupt officials, so as to strengthen my lord's prestige." Zhao Fan couldn't stand it anymore, clasped his fists and shouted sonorously.
It was hard for him to imagine how hard-hearted this group of people was, that they could watch these people die tragically without moving.
"Don't be in a hurry, rest in the city for a night first, and go to Yingchuan tomorrow to kill these rebellious officials and thieves." Zhang Xiu's voice was chilly, but calm.
This time, it is called Killing Thieves, but it is actually Shocking Thieves.
"My lord, this trip is dangerous. As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the lord of Jingzhou, you must not take the risk yourself. This trip is the end of the trip." Zhao Fan persuaded.
"Okay, since you know that I am the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, you shouldn't stop me." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, no one can hurt me yet."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Hu Che'er.
"Hu'er, send someone to send me a message to Jia Xu, asking him to arrange manpower to spread the news, declaring that I have sent various ministries of secret guards to lurk in the two prefectures of Henan and Yanzhou, and anyone who embezzles military rations will be executed!"
"At that time, we will use Yangcheng and Yingchuan prefects as the theme, and make all the officials in these two prefectures be wary of rats, and sincerely provide food for disaster relief."
Zhang Xiu thought for a while, and said solemnly.
"No, this subordinate will send someone to send a message." Although Hu Che'er was born in Beiliang, looking at the scene in front of him, his tiger's eyes were a little red, and he clasped his fists in response.
"Wait," Zhang Xiu stopped, his eyes rolled: "Tell Jia Xu again that all the rations he will provide in the future will be mixed with sand and stones before being shipped to various places."
"Mixed with sand and gravel?"
"My lord, why do you need to add sand and stones to good food?" Hu Che'er asked puzzledly, and Zhao Fan also cast a look of suspicion, because sand and stones will inevitably affect normal consumption.
At the very least, some entrances are cynical.
Zhang Xiu gazed at it, and said with a deep face: "Because, only in this way, these grains can reach the people's mouths."
"???"
The two were slightly puzzled.
But Zhang Xiu knew that this sentence came from the mouth of the most corrupt officials, because the fine grains were mixed with sand and stones, those officials would somewhat dislike them.
Coupled with Zhang Xiu's thorough investigation, it should be able to carry out, so as not to prevent this group of people from doing their best.Only in this way can the common people drink the relief food from the court.
For these people, it is a great fortune to be able to drink porridge. As for some sand and stones mixed in it, they don't care at all, and they don't care.
Zhang Xiu didn't explain, and the two of them didn't ask further questions, they just knew that what Zhang Xiu said couldn't be wrong.
For a whole day, Zhang Xiu wiped out Yangcheng.
At the same time, he led people to build some suggested wooden sheds, which could at least provide shelter from the wind and rain. At the same time, he also cremated the dead refugees to prevent the plague from rampaging again.
Zhang Xiu did it herself, these refugees all saw it in their eyes, and they felt a sense of unreality.Such a great official has worked tirelessly to help them...
Is there such a person in this world?
After working all day, he returned to the wing room, feeling very tired, Zhang Xiu took a basin of water to soak his feet, while lying on the bed with his upper body, looking up at the beams of the room, he began to meditate.
He knew that the Central Plains was very dry during this period.
And there are more than 100 million people in the two states, or even more, and he must find a way to relieve them.
But as Jia Xu said, if the relief goes on like this, Jingzhou will be dragged down sooner or later. After all, transporting grain for hundreds of miles and thousands of miles will consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
It's okay for a short time, but it's impossible for these refugees to settle down in a short time.
How can we save manpower and material resources?
Thinking of this question, Zhang Xiu gradually fell into deep thought. There seemed to be only a few ways to transport goods in later generations, such as freighters, airplanes, various trucks, and...
train?
Zhang Xiu suddenly sat up.
Now that the weather is dry, water and land transportation may not be easy, so we can only wait for the waterway to be dug, but it may take a long time to dig the waterway deep, a year or so is what Chen Qun said at least.
The waterway may be beneficial in the future, but it cannot solve the current problem. As for air transportation, it is not possible, but this rail transportation is an opportunity.
If Zhang Xiu remembered well, rail transportation had been implemented as early as in Qin State, but due to various reasons, the Chi Road was gradually abolished and changed into an official road that could be used for fast marching.
Chidao was abolished mainly because the maintenance cost was too high, unlike the steel rails of later generations, it didn’t matter if it was exposed to wind or sun. At that time, chidao were all wooden rails, and their service life was too short.
Furthermore, the shipping capacity is too low.
Most of them rely on camel horses, war horses and the like, pulling things like carriages to run.Because of the limited traction, you can't pull many things at a time, so it was abolished.
"That's it." Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he can't research steam engines and internal combustion engines now, he can research power devices such as gears. He can let people lay wooden rails first,
With this time difference, he can lead people to study the gear transmission device. This device is much easier than the steam engine. He believes that with enough time, he can build it.
As long as it can be built, it is not difficult to transport grain. At least a few people can operate a small car to transport grain, which greatly reduces the time and money consumed.
Just do what he wants, he wiped his feet and got up, grabbed the white characters and brushes, and used his memory of later generations to draw various parts of the transmission.
After painting, Zhang Xiu frowned.
Chains and gears should not be too difficult with the current craftsmanship of the blacksmith camp. It is estimated that the only rare thing is to turn the beads, which cannot be made by ordinary craftsmanship.
Regardless of this, Zhang Xiu took the map again, spread it out and studied it, to see how the wooden rails should be laid, and how to lay them to maximize their use.
Simply put, it is a stop.
Moreover, it is best for this stop to be close to the river bank, so that shipping and rail transportation can be more convenient in the future.
This study was conducted overnight.
Zhang Xiu waited for the middle of the night, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and just barely fell asleep.
Of course, this rail transit is more temporary. After all, the wooden rails are paved quickly. At this time, the transported things can support a car by one or two thousand catties, and there is no need for stones to absorb shock.
When Zhang Xiu fell to sleep, he had already sent someone to send the blueprint back to Xiangyang by letter. This would be the icing on the cake.
It's just that manpower is relatively more convenient.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
When the sky was getting bright, Zhang Xiu got up.
Although he really wanted to rest for a while, but if he rested for one more day, tens of thousands of people would starve to death everywhere, so he could only stop.
Simply wash up and finish your meal.
Zhang Xiu led people and rushed to Yingchuan non-stop.
……
Yingchuan is full of aristocratic families.
The original Cao Cao base camp, Xuchang is located in this county.The talents produced by Yingchuan are even more countless, and most of Cao Cao's family backgrounds are obtained from Yingchuan.
But at this time, on both sides of the official road.
Zhang Xiu and his party slowly slowed down. There were no fewer refugees on these two sides than in other places. They walked along the official road like headless chickens.
Even, Zhao Fan saw a lot of "monsters" eating people along the way, which was disgusting.But he also knew that he was really hungry.
When people are hungry enough, they will be extremely bloodthirsty and excited when they see the same kind, because it is fresh flesh and blood, and they are so hungry that they can crave it.
"Master, it seems that Yingchuan is not much better than Yangcheng!" Zhao Fan looked at the people along the way.
Zhang Xiu didn't answer, but he knew that this was due to the population density. If there were too many people, once there was chaos, the situation would become more serious.
"Okay, let's go to Xuchang first!" After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he took the lead. Xuchang is now the county seat of Yingchuan, and most of the officials are here.
