Scumbag makeover

When Wei Shuangxing and An Jinyang arrived in Luoyang, it was already the fifth day after the Luoyang earthquake, and there were more than a dozen small earthquakes afterwards. Although it was only a slight shaking, the people were still in panic. Coupled with the ensuing epidemics, the number of refugees in Luoyang City increased day by day, and many people were forced to abandon their hometowns and move to farther places with their family's treasures. After five days, more than half of the people in Luoyang City had left. Even some timid officials in the government office, without telling Fang Tong, quietly got tired and fled to other places.

People in Luoyang City were panicked for a while, and there were scenes of looting and massacres everywhere in the city. After several days in a row, the aftershocks have not stopped, and the glimmer of hope in people's hearts has been shattered. live this way.

Until now, the refugees out of the city have become a swarm of floods. The people are calling for their sons and daughters, crying for their fathers and mothers, crowding and rubbing against each other, and constantly fighting for food.

It is no longer possible to ride horses on the streets. After the river bed of the Yellow River was pulled apart, many places in Luoyang were flooded. Wei Shuangxing stood by the Yellow River and looked at the turbid and muddy Yellow River below. He was not very worried about him. The bridge that was built can collapse.

Wei Shuangxing raised his head and glanced at the sky, raised his breath and flew towards the place where the bridge was built.

There was a person standing beside the bridge, looking at the Yellow River below and sighing, when he saw that the person was Wang Xing, Wei Shuangxing was taken aback for a moment.

Hearing the noise, Wang Xing turned around and saw that it was Wei Shuangxing. With surprise in his eyes, he rushed forward and asked, "You're finally back! If you don't come back, I can't bear it anymore."

Wei Shuangxing smiled slightly. He dragged his trip to southern Xinjiang for two or three months. Wang Xing was in charge of building the bridge. When he came back, the bridge had already stood majestically on the Yellow River.

Wei Shuangxing became the shopkeeper, and it was rare for him to realize that he was a little unkind, so he also smiled, "It's hard for Brother Wang during this time, but everyone else is busy running for their lives, so you came here and sighed."

Wang Xing was so anxious these days that his mouth was full of bubbling. It was rumored in Luoyang that it was because the construction of this sky-defying bridge angered the mountain gods everywhere in Luoyang. Four times, there are too many such remarks. The anger of this "mountain god" has not subsided for several days, and the anger of the people is getting stronger and stronger. This bridge is up.

Wang Xing glanced at Wei Shuangxing, who was quite calm, and the fan in his hand turned into a fire fan, which had long since lost the presence of the old god, "Jin Qing, you should quickly think of a way, this bridge is exhausted. It’s a lot of money, but it can’t be wasted.”

Seeing that Wei Shuangxing was only looking at the water of the Yellow River, Wang Xing thought to himself, and said anxiously, "Jinqing, you don't know that the Yellow River has flooded most of Luoyang City, and half of the grain has been destroyed. The food transferred from the state level is just a drop in the bucket. Those unscrupulous people can still listen to Mr. Fang's words. In a few days, I am afraid that Mr. Fang will not be able to appease the public anger, and this bridge will become the target of public criticism. Not only is it a waste to fetch water from the bamboo basket, but you and I may also be killed."

Wang Xing was afraid that Wei Shuangxing would not realize the seriousness of the matter, so he added quite seriously, "That will kill you!"

Hearing what Wang Xing said so seriously, Wei Shuangxing felt a little amused, but he didn't say much.

Wei Shuangxing carefully inspected the bridge, which was 500 meters long and more than ten meters wide. Standing on the bridge, with his five senses, he could only feel a slight movement during the aftershocks, but it was completely within the allowable range, and the bridge body was only abnormal. There are some small cracks in the main components, and a little repair and maintenance is enough. The bridge is very safe. Even if it is shaken three or five times, it may not be a problem.

After reading it, Wei Shuangxing looked at the worried Wang Xingdao, "Let's go to the Sheriff's Mansion."

Wang Xing and Wei Shuangxing have been together for a while, and he also knows his temper. Now seeing that Wei Shuangxing's expression has not changed, he feels more at ease.

It was evening, and Fang Tong had just come back from the outside. Seeing Wei Shuangxing's frowning for days, he relaxed a lot. He patted Wei Shuangxing's shoulder several times, and said with relief, "You are back, Luoyang It's all upside down."

Fang Tong is well-versed in poetry and books, and is an official in the court. Naturally, he doesn't believe the absurd words of those mountain gods who are angry. However, every time the people make troubles, he has a headache. Now is a very important time. Not only can the refugees not be suppressed, but he has to find a good way Appease, so as not to worsen the situation, it is really a headache.

Wei Shuangxing looked at Fang Tong with a worried face, and comforted him, "Master Fang, don't worry. If the mountain god really wants to punish him, he should overturn the Luoyang Bridge we built first. It's just a matter of one word."

Wei Shuangxing's words ended, but Fang Tong and Wang Xing's eyes lit up. As a businessman, Wang Xing was a little less worried about the country and the people than Fang Tong at this time, and took the lead in clapping his hands and laughing, "Yes, Why didn't I expect that these days, I only cared about whether the bridge would stay or not. I didn't expect that the earthquake tore the river bed, but our bridge is still intact. This is not the best gift from the mountain god, hehehe ..."

Fang Tong also smiled, then waved his hands wearily, and sighed, "It takes more than a month for the report of the disaster to go back and forth to Zhongjing without stopping, and the food in the fields has been destroyed in the past few days." Well, I'm afraid there will be no crops this year..."

Before Wang Xing answered, a middle-aged man in black clothes walked in quickly outside the hall door, and it was Liu Qing who was patrolling.

This Liu Qing is in charge of all matters big and small, reporting to the heavens, and has a lot of power. He has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and has already cultivated a temperament of not being surprised, but at this time, his face is full of anger, and he doesn't care about the people in the hall. A few people were sitting and discussing things. After taking a few steps to sit down, they suddenly patted down the table, and ordered the two servants with swords behind them with livid faces, "Take the name stickers of the county guard's mansion, saying that you are inviting rich merchants from Luoyang. The Sheriff's House is together."

To defend the city of Luoyang, disaster relief is the most important thing. Among them, food is the most important thing. Only when people are not hungry can the people calm down and listen to others. Fang Tong and Liu Qing please invite this wealthy businessman in Luoyang. It was the life-saving food hoarded in the hands of wealthy businessmen. Seeing Liu Qing's face livid with anger, Fang Tong waved his hands at him and said helplessly, "Everyone in the world is so good at business. Go invite them now, most of those who have food won’t be able to invite them.”

Liu Qing has been an official for the past few years, how can he not understand this truth, he is just angry, he does not do business without treachery, he really does not deceive others.

Looking at the dark sky outside, Wei Shuangxing felt disapproving. The money in a businessman's pocket is also money, and the grain in the warehouse is also grain. In the event of a natural disaster, he wants these century-old families to open warehouses to release grain. Doesn't that mean cutting people off? How can there be such a cheap deal in the world.

According to the current situation, Zhengzhou may have no harvest this year, not to mention asking those wealthy businessmen to donate their grain and oil. Some of them are thinking about buying grain supplies at a low price. When they are young, the price of grain will remain high. At that time, reselling the inventory at home will undoubtedly make a lot of money.

Merchants are only interested in profit, they are born out of luck, although they are making money in national calamity, but there are a few businessmen who have not thought about it.

Wei Shuangxing looked at Fang Tong and Liu Qing in front of him calmly. One of them was upright and upright, and the other was selfless and tough. They would be two good helpers in the future.

Wei Shuangxing took a sip of his tea, thought for a while, and then said to Liu Qing, "All the merchants claim that they have no food in their homes. My lord might as well buy the grain accumulated in Luoyang City."

After Wei Shuang finished speaking, the remaining three people were all taken aback, Liu Qing asked, "How to buy by force?"

Wei Shuangxing didn't give a shit about it, and continued, "I know that my lord is doing drainage and flood control. You might as well rest for a few days and let this work go. Secretly send people to find out the locations of the granaries where the rich merchants have piled up grain. There are a lot of hungry and angry desperadoes in Luoyang city, my lord secretly help the common people, as long as this granary is looted and opened, the second one will be opened naturally, when the time comes, my lord will release a bulletin on the purchase of grain at a high price. Those wealthy businessmen will rush to sell it to the government."

After Wei Shuangxing finished speaking, he stopped talking, but looked at the three people who had changed their faces in front of them, and wanted to laugh in their hearts. This Jingguo only wanted a righteous name, a gentleman, and a good man, and he wanted no one to criticize him afterwards. Therefore, it is a little frightening for this political conspiracy to come out of the mouth of a student of Chun Wei who is both good in character and academics like 'An Jinqing'.

His plan was very poisonous, he just pushed the black hands secretly, when the people broke out, they jumped out to mediate, and not only saved the merchants, distributed food but also won the love of the people, It can be said that both fame and fortune can be achieved, and both ends are good.

Wang Xing, like Wei Shuangxing, was born in a family of merchants. After pondering for a while, he saw the key point in Wei Shuangxing's short words, and when he saw Wei Shuangxing waiting for them to ponder with his expression unchanged, he couldn't help praising him. , What a poisonous plan!

Fang Tong's hair was greyed, and he hadn't slept well for several days and nights, but Wei Shuangxing's plan inevitably lost the light. Thinking of this, Fang Tong hesitated, and couldn't help looking at Liu Qing who was next to him. Looking at it, I want to ask my colleagues what it means.

Liu Qing also frowned, and Wei Shuangxing frowned secretly. Although these two were good officials, they were obviously too upright.

Wei Shuangxing had been out for a long time, and he was a little impatient with An Jinyang who was thinking about returning to Anfu, but he had his own plans, so he couldn't rush this matter, so he could only calm down and talk to the two court officials. Zhou Xuan said, "There is no delay in the matter of food. If it takes another ten days, any food in the city of Zhengzhou will be in the hands of merchants, and the land will be starved. Plagues will break out everywhere, and the people will suffer from life and violence.] Chaos is probably unavoidable."

Wei Shuangxing's words are not alarmist. According to Yasukuni's past practice of dealing with disasters, if there is an incurable cholera plague and the people are angry, when the imperial edict is issued, Luoyang may only end up in a city closure and massacre. The end of burning the city and destroying the city.

Liu Qing and Fang Tong looked at each other, thinking about the joints, their faces changed, Fang Tong no longer hesitated, called his cronies, gave the details, and acted according to the plan.

The two most urgent matters in Luoyang City were resolved, and several people were relieved. As long as the people in the city were kept and there was enough food to buffer for a period of time, it would only be a matter of time before Luoyang City was rebuilt after the disaster.

In the name of Wei Mansion, Wei Shuangxing donated a total of 600 million taels of silver to Luoyang and even Zhengzhou. Wei Shuangxing's flipping action made the three of them dumbfounded. Wei Shuangxing did not explain the source of the bank notes. Wang Xing After realizing it, he also donated several 10 taels in his own name with great heartache, but compared with Wei Shuangxing, his little money is just icing on the cake.

However, the actions of the two young men clearly meant that they had separated from their respective families. The expelling of the genius 'An Jinqing' from the An family caused a commotion in Luoyang City some time ago, and Fang Tong never doubted the origin of Wei Shuangxing's money. , as long as he got it from the family, as to whether Anfu has so much money, that's not what Fang Tonghui cares about.

Fang Tong looked at Wei Shuangxing and felt a pity in his heart, the master of the An family was really blind, he was born to drive his own son out of the house, and lost a younger generation who could be cultivated.

Fang Tong thought about this, and his tone contained some elders' love for the juniors, "Jinqing, you don't have to worry. Since ancient times, fathers have been fathers, and sons have been sons. But the old man thinks that your father is really ugly. There is nothing to worry about. It will be Chunwei in two months, you should study the books carefully during this time, and the old man will arrange other things for you."

Wei Shuangxing stayed in Yasukuni for a period of time, and he went back and forth to southern Xinjiang for a few months. An Jinyang would tell him about the affairs of Yasukuni when he had time. Now he has been expelled from Anfu. Even if you belong to a black family without even a root, let alone an exam, even if you walk on the street, your status is almost the same as that of a lowly family.

Now that Wei Shuangxing listened to Fang Tong's words, he naturally understood what he meant, so he gave Fang Tong a big courtesy from a junior to an elder, "Thank you, my lord."

Wang Xing stayed behind to assist Fang Tong in dealing with the matter. Seeing that Wei Shuangxing was about to leave, he quickly pulled him back and said in a low voice, "Your family was kicked out by your father. I bought a small yard opposite the Laifu Inn. Zhan Shi let them live there, you go and have a look, but when the time comes...you must not get angry. "

After Wang Xing said that, his face was weird, and seeing Wei Shuangxing's pitiful and sympathetic expression, Wei Shuangxing asked in a daze, "Is there an old man with you?"

"There's a nervous old man, go quickly, I'll ask you out for a drink some other day." Wang Xing said with a smile, and followed Fang Tong to work.

The Luoyang Mountain was shaking and the ground was shaking, Wei Shuangxing was a little worried that the old man's old bones and legs would not be damaged. Wei Shuangxing thought about it, and walked faster. He followed the address and looked for it from a distance. I understood that the king was neurotic when he acted and spoke.

Wang Xing's yard was probably bought temporarily to accommodate people. The solid wood is more resistant to earthquakes, and it is estimated that it has been repaired in the past two days. It doesn't look bad, but it seems that people around this yard live different An ordinary person, Wei Shuangxing looked at Xu from afar, pointing at a middle-aged woman across the way and cursing loudly with a shrill voice. Find out the bottom line of the other party, what to say in the heart and in the face.

Wei Shuangxing looked at Xu Shi, who was like a hen with fried feathers, who did not show any weakness, and thought in his heart that this woman was indeed an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, who was kicked out of Anfu, not only did not learn to be patient, but her arrogance became more and more arrogant.

Wei Shuangxing looked at Wangcai, who was lying on the rocking chair and watching the battle, and laughed and chimed in from time to time. He was amused and annoyed in his heart, so he let out a low voice, "What are you arguing about?"

Wangcai's slightly closed wrinkled eyes suddenly opened, and he glanced in the direction of Wei Shuangxing in disbelief. After he saw that it was really his young master, with surprise and joy on his face, he jumped directly from the reclining chair with his bare feet. Jumped up, wah-wah twice, and rushed towards Wei Shuangxing.

Wei Shuangxing took two steps away from his body, and grabbed the old man who rushed over his head. The old man didn't mind hugging him, so he wiped his eyes, "Master, you are so cruel! Take the young master away! It's refreshing, didn't you say you can come back in half a month? It's been a few and a half months?"

Wei Shuangxing felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about coming back with An Jinyang for more than two months. Seeing the red eyes of the old man, he felt warm, and said, "Something delayed me on the way."

Wei Shuangxing glanced at Xu Shi who was hesitantly looking at this side after resting his fire, called his mother to settle the matter, and ordered Wangcai to go in and pack his things, intending to lead them to settle down first.

Wei Shuangxing called for his mother, and for some reason this time, Mrs. Xu even shed tears, and she refused to let Wei Shuangxing see it, so she turned her face away and wiped her eyes, and timidly followed behind Wei Shuangxing, Completely lost the vixen's aura of arguing just now.

Wei Shuangxing raised his eyebrows, and didn't bother to think about what Xu meant. He glanced at Hongying who was helped out by Wangcai with a puffy belly and a gloomy face, frowned, and led the three of them back to his own Zhuangzi.

Wei Shuangxing led the man into Zhuangzi, looked at the completely dark sky outside, explained a few words, and flew back to Anfu.
