Faced with Princess Gaoyang's enthusiasm, Princess Danyang smiled and held her close to her heart.
Who would have thought that Gao Yang, who was so unruly and unruly when Yunying was unmarried, would become more generous and courteous after getting married? It seems that the Fang family's tutoring and family tradition are quite good, which means that Fang Jun may not be as ridiculous as the outside rumors, let alone covet her.
Well, even if I covet it a bit, I won’t take action even if I think about it...
Fang Jun didn't know what Princess Danyang was thinking, nor did he know that he had just been released from her "blacklist". He nodded and said, "That's fine. Although Duke Wu'an is currently stationing troops in Jingyang, just north of the Weishui River, no one can I don’t know what the British Lord’s plan is, maybe he will be ordered to leave tomorrow and rush to other places to set up defenses. By then, the army will be in chaos, and His Highness will be in the army, which will be very inconvenient."
Princess Danyang responded with a smile and said softly: "That's right. As a woman in this palace, it's okay if I can't help my husband. It's really inappropriate to cause trouble for him at this time."
Fang Junxin said that His Highness seemed reasonable, so why was he so resistant to His Majesty Li Er's proposed marriage in the first place? At first he was unwilling to get married, but after being forced to get married, he refused to have sex, making Xue Wanche the laughing stock among the nobles of Chang'an...
Now it seems that he is not as unruly, willful and unreasonable as imagined.
…
This heavy rain lasted for two days, and it only subsided slightly in the afternoon of the second day, but it was still raining heavily. It was better in Chang'an City. When Fang Jun was in charge of Jing Zhaoyin, he had vigorously dredged the drainage facilities in the city. Such heavy rain would also Rainwater is smoothly drained out of the city through culverts, and then distributed through rivers and canals around Chang'an.
But outside the city it's completely different.
Places close to rivers and canals are better. Rainwater flows into them, and the turbid river water flows into the Wei River in a mighty manner, causing the Wei River to surge and flow into the Yellow River. The turbid waves are rolling and terrifying.
However, some low-lying areas were not so lucky. Heavy rains poured down, and the accumulated water had no place to vent, so it gathered into depressions, engulfing countless residences and farmland. There were even flash floods and landslides in many places, affecting more than hundreds of thousands of people. Don’t drag your family out of their homes that were flooded.
However, now there is a melee in Chang'an, and troops are stationed everywhere in Guanzhong. The victims are afraid of becoming the targets of soldiers and plunder, so they dare not go too far, let alone get close to the city. They can only gather in some open places, lacking food, clothing, and homelessness. Weeping sadly in the heavy rain.
Originally, the imperial court set up a "disaster relief emergency yamen". Whenever a natural disaster occurred, the Guanzhong government and the army would participate in disaster relief and distribute materials under the organization of this yamen, so that the victims could survive the natural disaster and rebuild their homes. However, now that Chang'an City has been in a fierce battle for half a year, and the imperial court is completely paralyzed, who can care about the common people like them?
Just like an abandoned wild dog, no matter how miserable it is, even if it is on the verge of extinction, it cannot get any help from the court...
Amidst the fear, resentment gradually accumulated, and there was naturally a lot of resentment towards the Guanlong clan who had provoked the mutiny.
The common people have no profound knowledge and little understanding of their family, country and world. They only know that the Guanlong clan raised their troops and destroyed the prosperous situation, causing everyone who should live and work in peace and contentment to suffer natural and man-made disasters. They are all a group of people who bring disaster to the country and the people. The traitor...
News from all over Guanzhong converged on Youtunwei, making Fang Jun, who was sitting in the central military tent, frowning and worried.
Cen Changqian compiled the countless information in front of him and said worriedly: "Commander, if the situation continues, even if this heavy rain comes, tens of thousands of people in Guanzhong will be homeless, let alone food rations, there will be no... They can only eat grass roots and tree bark, and countless people will starve to death. This is not the worst scenario. Once there are many deaths and cannot be dealt with in time, an epidemic may break out. If that happens, the entire Guanzhong will be destroyed... …”
After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. This is an eternal iron law.
In the past, when the imperial court was operating normally, even if an epidemic broke out, as long as the scale was not too large and the area affected was not too wide, emergency relief could be used to eliminate the disease. Even the worst-case scenario is just to seal off a place, cut off the spread of the disease, and then eliminate it.
But now the fierce fighting in Chang'an continues, and the entire central system and yamen at all levels have been paralyzed. How to provide disaster relief?
Under such circumstances, once an epidemic breaks out, it will spread throughout Guanzhong at an extremely fast speed. By then, the disease will be rampant and bones will be hidden in the wild, and Guanzhong will become a dead place...
Fang Jun nodded, his face heavy.
He understands the horror of the epidemic better than anyone else in this era, especially now that the health and medical conditions are extremely primitive. It will be a disaster ten or a hundred times more tragic than a military disaster...
After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "We must formulate a disaster relief strategy as soon as possible. We cannot just sit back and do nothing while the people are affected by the disaster and their livelihood is cut off. First, set up several resettlement sites within the Guanzhong area and send out scouts to inform the affected people to arrive at the resettlement sites as soon as possible. , we must prepare food, clothing, and medicine in advance for rescue."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Kan said worriedly: "Commander, we don't have much food... Although the general tried his best to hoard food after you led the army out of Hexi, Guanlong suddenly rebelled, causing the food to be stored. Obstacled. Now we have to supply more than 10,000 Tubo barbarians, which is already stretched thin. If we continue to provide relief to the affected people, our food will not be able to bear consumption for a few days."
Of the millions of people in Guanzhong, even if only a handful were affected by the disaster, there must be at least a dozen or two hundred thousand. How much food do so many people consume in a day?
There is a mountain of food in Youtunwei, but it will be eaten up in a few days... What will we use to fight the rebels then?
Fang Jun is not worried about this: "Don't worry, this battle will only last a few days. The Guanlong side is already in dire straits and is struggling to its death. There is no room for change. Whether it is victory or defeat, we will know soon."
Not only was Guanlong planning to die together, but some forces hiding in the dark had also emerged. This made him realize that all parties found it difficult to accept the endless war. With their own efforts, this mutiny It can't be delayed for a few more days.
Gao Kan stopped talking.
He admires Fang Jun extremely, and firmly supports all of Fang Jun's decisions without compromise. It is his duty to remind Fang Jun that food shortages are in short supply, but as long as Fang Jun has sufficient reasons to rescue the victims, he will never have any resistance.
Not to mention that he always believed in Fang Jun's judgment, as long as Fang Jun said that the mutiny was about to end, it must be about to end. Even if the guess was wrong, it was just a fight to the death with an empty stomach.
It doesn't matter.
Fang Jun said seriously to Cen Changqian: "General Gao Kan is diligent in military affairs, but he is a little unfamiliar with people's livelihood matters. I will leave the disaster relief to you and Ouyang Tong. The whole army will obey your command and dispatch, but every time All matters must be reported to General Gao in advance, and no omissions in the army's defense can be caused for disaster relief."
"ah?!"
Cen Changqian was shocked at first. He was actually responsible for such a big matter?
Then comes ecstasy!
This intelligent, knowledgeable and talented kid from an aristocratic family has a big heart that dares to take responsibility. Instead of being afraid, he is enthusiastic and immediately issued a military order: "Commander, don't worry, the students will do their best. If there are any omissions, they will be willing to do so." be punished!"
Fang Jun patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "This matter is not only of great merit and saving countless people, but also an excellent experience. Don't be impatient, let alone be negligent. Keep your temper and treat it as a battle." In exams, you must not only produce results, but also study a lot.”
All the generals in the tent looked at Cen Changqian in surprise.
In both the government and the public, who doesn’t know that Fang Jun is known for his outstanding vision? Almost everyone who is favored by him will grow into a unique talent. Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Xin Maojiang, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Su Dingfang, Gao Kan... From the time he entered the official career, he has never failed, whether in the court or in the army.
Since he can leave such an important matter as disaster relief to Cen Changqian, it shows his favor for Cen Changqian. It is conceivable that Cen Changqian will definitely fly to the sky under Fang Jun in the future...
Naturally, Cen Changqian knew this better, her face flushed with excitement, and she swore to be loyal to Fang Jun and never betray this trust.
This is more meaningful than relying on my uncle's power to enter the imperial court and hold an official position...
On the side, Sun Renshi suddenly interjected: "Commander Mingjian, disaster relief is urgent, but the victims are all over Guanzhong. We will inevitably be threatened by the Guanlong army during disaster relief. If we are attacked during disaster relief, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. What should we do? ?”
