Knowing that several people have something important to discuss, Yin Shaoshi quickly returned it to them, and kept an eye on the doorknob outside the imperial house.
When there are only five people left in the room, Zhong Yi takes out the rearranged Heavenly Creations from his arms and hands it to Jiyou.
"Heavenly Creatures" What is this? " Jiyou looked puzzled at a cover to Zhong Yi and others and let them be so cautious? What the hell is in it?
"Kai Qi Huang sent someone to Fu Hui County Master in Fujiangkou by an old man, and he sent a message to the county master that he was born and died in the Great Wei Dynasty, and all the books written by the Great Wei Dynasty ghosts belonged to the Great Wei Dynasty. He hoped that the emperor would not have to send people around to look for him and disturb him to get back on his feet."
This is also a good "reason" for Zhong Yi and Qin Lan to think. If Jiyou and others know that these things are written by Qin Lan’s heart, they may bother her every day and bring danger to her. It is better to say that an old man wrote them and expressed his determination to support the Wei Dynasty through Qin Lan’s heart, so that Jiyou will pay more attention to Qin Lan’s heart and won’t hurt her in the future.
"An old man appeared? ！” Qi You quickly turned it over, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. What was inside was very promising and could greatly improve the shipbuilding and iron smelting technology of the Wei Dynasty.
But when Jiyou turned to the back volumes, he was shocked. But there were weapons and gunpowder. Some weapons, such as bows and arrows, were made by craftsmen of the Wei Dynasty, but they were not recorded in detail here.
"Who else has seen this?" Qi Youfang’s "Heavenly Creations" face is unprecedented dignified.
"Report back to the Emperor. Besides the four of us and you, Lord Fuhui and Master Zhong have seen it!" Qi Tianle said without hiding.
"What do you think of this matter, Uncle?" Qi You turned to the King of Liang Qi Tian to raise funds. From the first emperor, the Palace of Liang was the royal armory and the most trusted minister of every generation of emperors.
"The emperor’s weapons minister can let craftsmen secretly make them. Once they are successful, we in the Wei Dynasty will not be afraid of people. Among them, gunpowder sulfur is easy to get but saltpeter is hard to find." Qi Tianchou still has confidence in his craftsmen, and the royal family also has special places to develop weapons, which I believe will be developed soon, but gunpowder is somewhat difficult.
"No matter how hard it is to find, you must find it. Since an old man wrote it, he must have seen it!" Jiyou said with confidence
"I will not disgrace your life!" Qi Tian Chou brought life way
Then a few people discussed the other manufacturing methods. Who should supervise the manufacturing? Jiyou is planning to do something with civil servants and military commanders, but a heavy rain there has forced him to put the plan on hold.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it rained for half the day in the Wei Dynasty, and in some places it rained cats and dogs, even Fujiangkou never stopped early.
Without Qu Yuan and Dragon Boat Festival in the Great Wei Dynasty, there would naturally be no dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine and hanging wormwood.
Nothing doesn’t mean it can’t be. Therefore, on this day, Qin Lanxin told everyone the tragic and patriotic story of Qu Yuan while leading Xu Shuang. Naturally, they were wrapped in sweet dumplings and the eaves kept raining, accompanied by laughter and cheerful sounds.
However, no one expected that on this afternoon, a once-in-a-century dam burst occurred at Qihekou, the largest tributary of Xiajiang River, thousands of miles away from Fujiangkou.
The rushing river is like an angry and powerful poor monster. When it breaks through, it will be fragile, and the mouth of Qianliqi River will be rapidly washed away, and dozens of nearby villages and towns will soon become a Wang Yang.
At this time, the water level of the rainstorm is rapidly rising, and the large and small rivers near the mouth of the flag are constantly washed, merged, re-washed and re-merged. The overflowing river almost turns the five major States of Xiajiang, namely, Yuzhou, Hezhou, Baozhou, Jizhou and Lezhou into one, and Shui Ze will continue to flow to the south of the Great Wei Dynasty without the barrier of mountains.
The river rages and growls like tens of thousands of runaway wild horses rolling up huge waves and rolling forward and back again until five days and five nights later.
In this way, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land from north to south Wei Dynasty were destroyed in the river burst its banks, and several victims’ homes were destroyed and thousands of acres of fertile farmland were flooded. Millions of people lost their money and nearly one million people lost their lives in this disaster.
This burst flood came so suddenly and so surging that several people, property and land paid for it.
The rain finally stopped, and the river finally returned to calm. You can hear the tragic cry in one place in Yuzhou, Holland, Praise, Jizhou and Lishui.
"Dad-mom-where are you!"
"Home … my home is gone!"
"My child? Have you seen my child?"
"I’m all dead. I’m the only one left in the village. God, you don’t have eyes!"
"Water … ah … water is coming … run … why not run to my house!"
……
By the time the flood receded, the people were lucky enough to live. Because of this disaster, they were all dead and many people became stupid.
The victims in Wuzhou not only lacked clothes and food, but also had no temporary shelter, and at this time, various diseases followed.
Not only that, but the sudden large-scale breach at the mouth of Qihe River poured sediment into the river along the breach, which not only flooded the fields, but also overflowed the lakes and seriously silted up the river, which greatly hindered the rescue of the court.
Qiyou urgently ordered Yin and Dong to assist the Royal Brewery in brewing epidemic prevention wine and Tu Su wine and deliver them to the victims in Wuzhou as soon as possible. At the same time, all the doctors in Taitai Hospital also followed the carriage carrying herbs to the victims in Wuzhou as soon as possible.
As soon as Zhong Jingxuan heard that the Qihekou burst its banks, he couldn’t sit still in Baiwei Manor. He immediately boiled all the pills during this period and escorted them to Wuzhou to treat the victims with inkstone.
The Fourth Gate of Kyoto also dispatched troops led by Zhong Yi to the disaster relief, and officers and men from other States also received orders from the emperor to help them clean up the river so that the disaster relief official ship could arrive in Yuzhou and other places as soon as possible.
Qin Lan’s heart was not idle. She immediately stopped everything at hand and ordered Zhongying and Chongfei to transport Baiwei Manor food and a large number of clothes to Wuzhou disaster area immediately.
On this day, Qin Lanxin wrote five secret letters to Chong Shuang and others, saying, "This letter is very important. Remember to hand it over to the Yin family, the Li family, the Yao family, the Xiao family and the Xu family and tell them to do what I said in my letter. Qin Lanxin will certainly keep his promise!"
"It’s the county owner’s peace of mind!" Chongshuang, Chongxi, Chongyan and Chongxue took Qin Lan’s heart waist tag to handle her account separately.
Li Yanbo, the closest Li family owner, first received a secret letter from Qin Lan, while the shopkeeper Zheng and the shopkeeper Lin were waiting in the house to listen to his command that the Wei Dynasty suffered such a great disaster in the southeast. The Li family must express something.
Li Yanbo opened Qin Lanxin’s letter to him, puzzled and surprised at first, shocked and pondered at last. Finally, he went to two shopkeepers in Zheng Lin and ordered, "Immediately move all the food of the Li family out of the warehouse and send it to Yuzhou, and at the same time take one million silver to help the victims in Yuzhou. This time, the Li family will do its best to help all the people in Yuzhou."
Zheng shopkeeper and Lin shopkeeper were dumbfounded as soon as you listen. Zheng shopkeeper quickly said, "Sir, didn’t you just say that you took out 502 thousand to relieve the victims?" It’s good to say that you will take another 502 thousand out of the food, but it will move the foundation of the Li family! "
The shopkeeper Zheng is in charge of all the large and small banks in the Li family. He also has an estimate of the Li family’s financial situation. This time, it is a great sincerity of the Li family to take out 502,000 yuan, but it is necessary to help the victims if the Dong family is black-handed, then the Li family is likely to encounter great danger.
"Listen to me, even if the Li family foundation is moved this time, the Li family foundation will take root after this disaster!" Li Yanbo said with flashing eyes.
The shopkeeper Zheng and the shopkeeper Lin are even more puzzled. Li Yanbo just read a letter. How can the difference be so big?
Either Li Yanbo’s attitude towards disaster relief is more positive and he spends more money, or the other four families have changed after receiving Qin Lan’s confidential letter.
Among them, Yin Jiali’s disaster relief in Holland, Yao’s family took out clothes and money, and the scope of financial assistance was smaller, while the imperial merchants Xiao’s family and Xu’s family were responsible for the rescue and Luzhou and Lezhou respectively. In addition to taking out two million yuan each, the victims in various shops were transported to two States.
Such a big move and division of labor indeed "rescue" naturally attracted the attention of the emperor. Although the national treasury was full of his own private money, it was like a drop in the bucket for millions of victims who could go home and farm.
At this time, the help of the five major merchants can be said to have greatly solved Qi You’s urgent need. This time, they seem to have the idea of "desperate". Even though he knows that these families are loyal ministers, the "enthusiasm" they showed in this disaster relief is still somewhat unusual
The emperor was puzzled, but he praised the five families greatly. At the same time, the people were grateful to Yin, Li, Yao, Xiao and Xu for their kindness at this time.
Can Qin Lanxin and the five family members know what their "reasons" are for being so positive?
On this day, Qi Tianle came to Fujiangkou from Kyoto, and the emperor had intended to make the wealthy merchants of the Wei Dynasty contribute to the victims. He was in charge of the weapons and gunpowder refining institute, and this idle third master was going to be busy this time.
"Uncle, I have just made pickles here for me to follow you to the disaster area!" Qin Lanxin asked everyone and women workers to stop what they were doing and help make pickles, because fresh vegetables may be broken halfway, but pickles can be kept for a while.
"Well, you’ve paid a lot of attention to the victims in Wuzhou this time. Do you have anything to do with Li and Xiao’s efforts to help the victims?" On the day Qi Tianle left Beijing, he learned some news from Jiyou’s mouth. It seems that the five families became so positive after receiving a mysterious letter.
Qin Lan smiled and didn’t speak, but Qi Tianle had got the answer from her silent smile.
However, he was also very curious, so he said, "Uncle Lan Xin is not an outsider. Tell me what you are doing, and the emperor wants to know. After all, the more businessmen participate, the better it will be for the victims."
"Uncle, I’ll tell you when you come to me!" Qin Lan also guessed that this should be the emperor’s question.
Qi Tianle really leaned over and Qin Lan whispered a few words in his ear. After listening to it, Qi Tianle burst out laughing. "Hahahaha, there are people in this world who dare to do this. No wonder they are so enthusiastic. It turns out that they can’t afford to benefit early. Hahahaha!"
"Uncle can’t think so. If they don’t have any kindness to the people in their hearts, they won’t risk losing everything to do it." At the end of the day, Qin Lan’s heart is still very heart-warming, and it is wise and bold to make a decision at this time.
"Don’t billow heart one thing you also know wrong! They did as you said. First, you promised them this great benefit. Second, you showed loyalty to the emperor. Third, you won the support of the people. These housekeepers are all child prodigies and old foxes. Don’t be cheated by them later, but Dong Jialiu has more merchant conscience than them! " Qi Tianle plays for fun, but he looks very white.
"Uncle, don’t worry. I chose them for my own reasons. Although they are old foxes, I am not just a rabbit. Maybe I will be the biggest winner in the end!" Qin Lan is not shy about confessing something in front of Qi Tianle.
"Ha ha ha I think so! If those people are old foxes, you are a thousand-year-old fox, but it is rare for you to give up fame, fortune and kindness in this day’s people’s consideration. Third Uncle really admires you! " I really don’t know what blessing Zhong Yi’s junior has made. It’s a good thing that this generation can marry a woman like Qin Lanxin!
"Uncle, don’t praise me. In fact, I really didn’t do anything!" She just wrote a few secret recipes for making wine, snacks, dyeing cloth, making porcelain and making tea.
