King Luo Bin's method is actually very simple.
But both the refugees working on site and the fat county magistrate supervising the work were accustomed to the step-by-step construction process in the past, and they never thought that they could build a superficial city wall first.
As a result, the news reached Xiao Han's ears that the fat county magistrate had adopted King Luo Bin's idea and began to abandon the construction of the inner city wall and instead go all out to build the outer city wall.
Xiao Han was stunned for half a cup of tea, and finally he sighed and looked at the sky speechlessly.
"Damn it! I don't know if this is the origin of face-saving projects? If someone learns to cut corners and build shoddy projects, will future generations put all this bad debt on me?"
However, the benefits of doing so are obvious.
Just like this, the construction of the city wall has accelerated by at least one-third. Now the outermost city wall has begun to take shape. I believe it won't be long before a city wall looks no different from the real city wall from the outside. The strange half city wall should stand completely on this construction site.
Here, the refugees in Ningcheng are working in full swing, while on the other side, the huge storm brewing over the land of Shandong has reached the final stage of erupting.
————————————————————
Under the hazy night, Yangdi City is like a sleeping giant, lying quietly on the bank of the Yellow River.
The ancient city of Yangzhai has a long history, so long that even the oldest gentleman cannot tell when it was first established. He only knows that there were already people living here during the reign of King Zhou Xuan more than a thousand years ago?
And such an ancient city with a long history has survived countless wars and man-made disasters, but it was almost destroyed by floods a few days ago! natural disaster
I remember that day when the Yellow River ended in Huazhou! The raging floods flowed down the river, burying countless fields and completely destroying the innocent city of Yangzhai!
Not to mention anything else, the walls of Yangdi City still have mottled traces of the original flood!
There are enough traces of the height of the eaves. You can imagine, if the flood reaches everywhere, what will be left in Yangzhai City?
And similarly, after experiencing this catastrophe, the people of Yangzhai City were also dead and injured!
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, everything in your family will be in vain!
The food was washed away and the wealth was buried! Even the walls of many houses, which were originally made of yellow mud, were completely collapsed by the flood and turned into ruins.
When the flood finally receded, what was left to the people of Yangzhai City was a mess and mud that no one could kneel under.
This sudden natural disaster put the people in the city into complete trouble!
Not to mention that the landlord's family had no food left, even the food in the official warehouse was washed away by the flood!
What's worse is that the roads outside the city were completely blocked by the disaster this time. If this area hadn't been rescued by the Li Manor outside the city, the few people who were lucky enough to survive would have died of hunger and poverty!
"Dad, I'm hungry!"
In the stillness of the night, a little child of only six or seven years old lay on a straw mat that still smelled of mold, and whispered to his father beside him.
"Drink some water first if you're hungry. Didn't you just eat a meal today?" The father lying on the side heard the little baby's voice, moved his shoulders slightly, and yelled impatiently.
"But I'm still hungry!" The little doll rubbed his deflated belly, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
Although his family was not a wealthy family before, it could still be considered a well-off family, with no worries about food and clothing!
At this age, the little baby can count all the times he was hungry in his memory!
But all of this was ruined by the flood. Since the flood, he has never felt full again!
The feeling of starvation is so painful!
The pain even made the little boy grab the straw under his feet several times, trying to stuff it into his stomach to calm his hungry stomach for a while.
"When you're hungry, you know you're hungry!"
In the dark room, the father heard the little baby's slightly sobbing voice, and his originally harsh tone finally softened.
He struggled to get up, took out half a piece of black bread from his arms, and handed it to his son: "Here, that's all, eat it quickly! Go to bed!"
"Okay! Daddy is so awesome..." Seeing that there was something to eat, the little baby, who was already starry-eyed, immediately became excited, jumped up, grabbed the dough cake, put it to his mouth and started to bite it fiercely.
"Slow down, slow down!" When the father saw his son devouring the food, he licked his dry lips and whispered.
"Woo...it's okay!"
How big can half a pancake be? Almost in the blink of an eye, it entered the little baby's belly!
After struggling to swallow the last bite of cake, the little baby smacked his lips with unsatisfied content, then sucked his fingers again, then lay back on the straw mat again, and murmured:
"Dad, when can we have enough to eat? I heard someone say today that the reason why we encountered floods was due to Emperor Chang'an's ignorance and ignorance. Emperor, what is that?"
"Emperor?" After hearing these two words, the father's eyes became obviously complicated. If he had heard his son discuss the emperor without hesitation before, he would have stepped over!
But now, he also wants to understand, just say something, just curse, anyway, it is like this, let him hear it, what else can be done?
To be honest, this is why the father in front of him has completely lost confidence in the court!
What did the most powerful man in the world, the emperor who preached about loving his people like his own son, do after their steward suffered a disaster?
No relief food was allocated, and no manpower was organized for disaster relief!
After the disaster, the yamen seemed to have suddenly become transparent. Apart from catching a few gangsters who robbed other people's food, he could no longer find any role.
Perhaps, someone will say at this time: Wasn’t the official warehouse flooded too? If there is no food, what do you want the court to do? What to keep?
But the problem is that the officials did not get food, but how could the Li family of Qi County get so much food?
This alone is enough to make the people in the city feel more grateful to the Li family than to the Emperor of Chang'an!
"Hey, daddy, look outside, what's flying in the sky?"
After eating half a piece of dry biscuit, the little baby, who felt a little rested on his stomach, gradually became energetic. He just wanted to look at the moon outside the window to confirm the current time.
Unexpectedly, he didn't see the moon, but he saw a dazzling red light rising from the east, passing through countless obstacles, and finally flying beyond the sky!
