Chapter One Thousand and Fifty-four
When Chu Qing arrived on the island, she felt freedom and pleasure. Although there were some shadows about "donality", it did not affect her mood.
Because Xiaobao and everyone are safe and live a good life, this is more important than anything else.
She was going to stay for a while to learn about the island, and to feel what the phenomenon of "slowness" is, and to see if she could find the cause.
As for the losses in Ganzhou Prefecture Salt Field, Chu Qing people were all on the island. If you have a son, you will have no worries.
Besides, what can she do if she rushes to Ganzhou? Can she drive away the "Eight Winds"?
Xiaobao was very happy when he heard that Linyang County salt farm was not affected by the "Eight Winds" due to its geographical location, so he simply advised Chu Qing to celebrate the New Year here and not to just "stay for a few more days".
Anyway, the salt farm in Linyang County can make money by itself. Ganzhou Prefecture is basically the emperor's.
He even gave a very important reason: "Mom, we all think that the island is very rich and should not live hard, but the natives are just poor. Why don't you just leave it for the reason?"
As a child, she always feels that wherever her mother is, she is home; not here in Chu Qing, but her plan is that she will build a home wherever her son is!
Therefore, Chu Qing agreed: "Okay, the land is vast and the people are sparse, and you can't eat enough? That's not."
Chu Qing’s purpose this time is clear: he wants to go to the mountains to have a look.
In the eyes of the Chu family, it is easy to eat full on the island. Fishing, hunting, growing sweet potatoes, etc. can fill your stomach. But they miss the days when they eat rice and noodles. After all, they are people who grew up inland.
Chu Qing wanted to find a suitable place to farm and solve the food problem.
There was no "slow" phenomenon in a row for several days, and people even joked: "The boss takes action, and ghosts and gods go around."
Chu Qing led the team to cross mountains and ridges happily and fulfilled every day to inspect the terrain, but Daxuan fell into dire straits.
The "Eight Winds" landed from Changguangfu and continued to the southeast. As a result, Changguangfu, Haizhou and Ganzhoufu became the only way for the "Eight Winds".
However, the route of a typhoon is not as simple as drawing lines on paper by pencils. A typhoon is a strong cyclone storm. Where it passes, it will cause a huge disaster.
The "Eight Winds" pass through the border, and the seas of the coastal prefectures are surging, and the tide level is soaring.
Changguangfu, where the "Eight Winds" first landed, almost overnight, 1,500 families were buried in the belly of fish.
Haizhou, the smallest prefecture with a sharp corner at the southernmost end of Daxuan, drowned 60,000 people, of which 80% were entitled to prisoners and their descendants, and the total population of Haizhou was less than 80,000.
Ganzhou Prefecture lost not only a sea salt field, but also because it was separated from Xuanwei Prefecture, the "Eight Winds" were blocked from circling, and then invaded the inland Ganzhou Prefecture.
The wind took advantage of the momentum of the tide, and the tide carried the power of the wind and rushed into the seawall for thousands of feet, drowned more than 70,000 people. Not to mention that the salt farm was gone, the shipyard was gone, and the shipyard was gone.
Not only that, the storm caused by the "Eight Winds" also caused sand and trees to be pulled out, the tiles of the houses were flying, and the houses were damaged.
Many areas have caused floods in mountainous areas, mudslides, landslides, and embankments in small and medium-sized rivers. They have all been destroyed, and the floods in cities and villages are severe.
Regardless of urban and rural areas, the streets have become vast, with dead fish, shrimp, chickens and ducks floating on it, trees have fallen down, bridges have broken down, every household has people injured by roof tiles, and every household has walls destroyed by storms.
The unprecedented "business" of the clinic has made it difficult for all the doctors to have sex with them - there are too many patients and not enough medicinal materials, but the heavy rainstorms have blocked traffic and cannot purchase goods.
Reports from various places did not fly to Kyoto like snowflakes, because many roads were blocked by mudslides or were submerged in waterlogging.
What Zhuo Yao thought at the beginning that the emperor would soon issue an order to save the salt field, but it did not happen.
When the memorial was finally delivered to Kyoto, the emperor did not even have a process that he had gradually accepted, because the memorial that had been blocked by the road for a long time arrived almost within the same day.
In this way, it seems that half of the southern country of Daxuan suddenly said that it would not work.
In the past, the style of "small disasters and big disasters are reported without a trace, and all localities have reported the truth.
The report can be blocked, but the power of the "Eight Winds" is not blocked. When the Southern Report finally arrived in Kyoto, strong winds and cooling and snow began to fall in most parts of the north.
The rice price also soared from south to north like the impact of the "Eight Winds", from a hundred citrus of rice to three hundred citrus within ten days, again staged the rice price during the locust plague that year.
But this time, no one went to calm the price of grain, and even if there were people who wanted to do this, they could not do it, because the country was affected by the disaster, and the northern grain storage could not provide strong support to the south.
If Chu Qing could see the disaster in the coastal areas with his own eyes, he might understand why the indigenous people on her island would concentrate on living in the mountains, guarding the sea, so much seafood that they could eat but life was difficult.
With current productivity, even without the "Eight Winds", no one can live on the beach for a long time.
The indigenous people of the island do not have enough production tools to build ships and houses on the sand, so they cannot go out to sea to fish. If they have to fish for a few people, they must be collective actions in the village, rather than the ability of each household.
Therefore, their fishery is not sea fishing, but river fishing in the mountains.
The inspector and the Censor really thanked Huang Zhong at this time. If he hadn't left Xinlunzhou early by Huang Zhong, he might have been on a boat to cruise along the coast from Linyang County again.
After all, he came up with the task assigned by the emperor.
If you really encounter the "eight winds" directly on the sea, even if you have nine lives, you may not be able to leave half of them.
However, he didn't go too far. He went to Xuanwei Mansion, which was next to Xinlunzhou. This was a place designed by the Worth people to attack. Although it was Chu Qing's trick, no one else knew it. So Xuan The inspector and the censor should also touch the situation in comforting the house.
I can't leave now.
Among the reports received by the emperor, there were also reports from the inspectors and censors. Others reported the disaster and the inspectors and censors also told them.
However, the Censor's account tells more meticulously, such as pigs climbing the wall, sheep climbing into the room, and dead fish hanging on the branches...
Because he couldn't walk, the road was blocked, and he hoped that through his detailed description, the emperor would have the idea of finding a way to get him back to Kyoto.
A series of vivid descriptions allow the emperor to feel the tragic situation of the people as if he had seen them personally.
Where there are mountains, there are valleys, and where there are mountains, it must be a basin. The east side of Xuanwei Mansion is close to Xinlunzhou, and the mountains are long. The "Eight Winds" come here and cannot cross the mountains, but they change the route along the mountains, causing a slope slide. ,The storm, flooding and devouring countless villages.
