Youzhou!
Wei Zheng and Li Ji mobilized grain and grass to relieve the people. In the name of building roads, they recruited a large number of disaster victims to work. They could receive a certain amount of remuneration every day and provide food and shelter.
The refugees who had been fleeing all over the place had settled down.
The effect of using service as a form of relief was immediate.
If they only opened porridge shops and granaries, they would still be refugees.
Now, these disaster victims had become laborers for the construction of the road, completely solving their worries.
Although the grain prices in Youzhou City had been controlled, they were still far higher than the normal prices.
Before Du Ruhui's arrival, the price of grain had reached the usual price of one stone of grain. After Li Shimin issued the order to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, the price of grain had dropped to the usual price of two stones of grain.
However, this was still very high. The current grain price in Yangzhou was always six stones of grain.
……
"Since you're bullying the villagers, don't blame me for being ruthless!”
Du Ruhui had already investigated all the grain merchants in Youzhou Province. These grain merchants colluded with each other to raise the prices. It was an unforgivable crime!
Six of the grain merchants were backed by the local nobles of Youzhou.
Obviously, these six grain merchants were the local aristocratic families of Youzhou.
"Men, arrest the Wu Clan, Chen Clan, and Li Clan of Youzhou Province! Qinghe Cui Clan! Fan Yang's Lu family! Boling's Cui Clan! Please come to the Governor's Mansion of Youzhou Province! Send troops and armor forward. Those who resist and refuse to come forward will be immediately beheaded!”
"Here!"
On the desk in front of Du Ruhui was the Heaven's Doctrine Sword. This sword was filled with killing!
Du Ruhui felt that he did not have much time left. If these famous sects were really stubborn, Du Ruhui did not mind slaughtering these Youzhou celebrities!
Even if he was cursed by these aristocratic families for thousands of years, he would accept it!
Du Ruhui was going to start a massacre in Youzhou City. He would rather bear the infamy than allow these aristocratic families to invade Youzhou City, which his master had protected with his life!
……
Han Manor.
The afternoon sun was slightly warm.
Han Qiu looked at Wu Zhao, who had just woken up and was rubbing his eyes, and said,""Let's go, I'll send you to Weishui Supervision Institute! Send it to your father!"
"I don't want to go. Father always lectures me. Why don't we go out and play? I know a very fun place.”
Wu Zhao ran up to Han Qiu in high spirits.
Han Qiu shook her head and said,"I'm not going. I just want to send you to your father now!"”
Seeing Han Qiu so insistent, Wu Zhao had no choice.
"Fine, fine, send me to Weishui Supervision Institute. However, I cannot guarantee that my father is waiting for me there…"
Han Qiu held Wu Zhao's hand and went to the Weishui Supervision Office!
An hour later.
Wu Shi walked out of the Weishui manufacturing factory. He looked confused when he saw Wu Zhao."Zhao, why are you here? Aren't you in the residence?"
Wu Zhao pursed his lips and turned to Han Qiu.""How was my guess? Forget about me.”
" This little girl came to my manor," Han Qiu explained on behalf of Wu Shi Huan." She said that she's here with you to supervise the construction of the Wei River. I'll send her back for you…"
"Oh, oh, I remember now. I did bring her here. There were too many things to do and I forgot. Thank you, old man!”The warrior expressed his gratitude to Han Qiu.
Han Qiu turned to look at the officials from the Ministry of Works who were surveying the river."Since ancient times, building irrigation works has been the most difficult thing to do. However, if the irrigation works are completed, it will be beneficial for thousands of years.”
When Wu Shi saw Han Qiu looking at the irrigation works he was supervising, he thought to himself,""This old man looks very refined and has the feeling of a hermit expert.”
After Wu Shi Yao thanked Han Qiu, an official came to report to Wu Shi Yao. After Wu Shi Yao apologized to Han Qiu, he went to deal with the irrigation project. Wu Shi Yao only said one sentence to Wu Zhao,""Tomorrow, let the people in the residence pick you up. I don't have the time to coax you!”
Wu Zhao pouted, expressing his strong dissatisfaction.
Han Qiu looked at the river that had been piled up with stones. However, these riverbanks were not made of concrete. Instead, they were made of the gaps between the stones. They were interlocked with each other, and the strength of this bite made the riverbanks very firm.
Han Qiu looked at the Wei River irrigation works supervised by Wu Shi and thought of a descendant of the Mo family who had been lucky enough to meet him. That descendant of the Mo family had been looking for a kind of soil that could solidify the city!
The Mo family descendant had the fortune to meet Han Qiu. When Han Qiu learned that the Mo family descendant was looking for a type of soil that could solidify, she immediately thought of concrete in the future.
The strength of concrete and steel bars was enough to support a hundred-story building…
This was something that other construction materials could not do. Be it stone, wood, or a mixture of earth and stone, they could not be cast like concrete to build a hundred-story building...
Han Qiu guided the Mo Family disciple and told him how to make cement, as well as how to change the strength of the concrete. The weakest part of the concrete was that it was easy to crack. It was very strong and brittle, but as long as a few iron rods were added to the concrete, it would completely become a construction artifact!
Han Qiu did not take that disciple of the Mo Family as her disciple. After all, that disciple was the successor of the Mo Family. Up until now, Han Qiu did not remember his name. Was he called Mo Wu or Mo Wu? Han Qiu could not remember clearly.
Before Han Qiu left Youzhou for Jinyang, he had once guided the descendants of the Mo family outside Youzhou. Many people had lived in that thatched cottage before, such as Yuan Tiangang, Li Changsheng, Yuwen Cheng, Du Ruhui…
This Mo family descendant also knelt and begged to become Han Qiu's disciple, but was rejected by Han Qiu.
It wasn't that Han Qiu wanted to reject him, but that the system felt that this Mo Family successor's talent was too poor and refused to acknowledge him!
Later, when the Turks arrived, Han Qiu fought a great battle with the golden hammer in the drum urn. After the Turks retreated, Han Qiu also left Youzhou and headed to Jinyang to find a disciple who could use the golden hammer in the drum urn!
That year was the seventh year of Daye…
……
"Uncle Han! I think I'll go out with you to play. It's boring here…"
"I've already sent you back, and you still want to run out?”
"Didn't you see that my father values the construction of the Wei River more than anything else?”
"Didn't your father say that he would send you back to the residence? Just wait to return to the residence!"
As soon as Han Qiu finished speaking, he heard an official running towards Wu Shi. The official ran to Wu Shi and reported,""Milord, His Majesty has decreed that Milord must attend court tomorrow. He has something important to say!”
The warrior nodded.
He was in charge of supervising the construction of the Wei River irrigation works and had not participated in several morning court sessions!
"Do you know what it is?"
"Sir, it is said that it is related to something in the fourth year of Zhenguan. I am not too sure, but it seems to be a particularly important person! It seems like all the major events revolve around this big shot…"
"Oh, I see!"
The warrior was also curious.""What is it? What big shot?"
Suddenly, the warrior thought of a person and stood rooted to the spot!
"Could it be! Could it be him? That man who could make the Great Tang tremble with a stomp of his foot! He's coming back!"
