Chapter 251 Zhongliang
This was a battle with the sky. It was raining heavily. Li Weiwen's disaster relief group took spring plowing grain to the disaster area and encountered heavy rain.
It is a good thing to rain. For the disaster in Shanxi, a heavy rain greatly alleviated the local drought.
However, for Li Tiewen and others, once the spring plowing seeds are wet with rain, this batch of growing grain will be completely invalid.
The prefect Diao Geng and the others were soaked in the water. These pampered guys in Yonghe County were more like a farce.
Just when they wanted to go home and beat him to death, they happened to meet Li Zhiwen and his group in front of them.
Then, the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture were completely shocked by the scene in front of them.
They had never seen such a scene before, and they had never seen it. They brought tart cloths, which were enough to shelter them from the wind and rain, but could not cover these grain seeds.
So Li Daiwen led the way to make a human rain shield. He lay on the food bag to protect the seeds under him from being wet.
The people from the disaster relief group around him, like Li Huiwen, made human umbrellas. Everyone was close to each other and lay on the pile of grain. Everyone's backs were poured by big pots, poured into big pots, poured into big pots... It was pouring heavily, pouring into heavy rain, soaking in the rain. But their arms were holding the growing grain under them tightly.
Some people, holding the four corners of the oil cloth hard, for fear of being blown away by the wind and rain. In the eyes of these people, these grain seeds are much more important than themselves.
Diao Geng saw with his own eyes that Li Weiwen, who was trembling in the wind and rain, his legs were trembling constantly. Then, he was trembling. But he still hugged the bag of food under him tightly and let the wind and rain hit him.
The officials of Taiyuan Prefecture were stunned. What kind of people are they? Is it worth it to work so hard for a few bags of food?
It's worth it, of course it's worth it. Diao Geng was moved. He was about to retreat and suddenly shouted: "What are you looking at? Come and help!"
Then, the officials who accompanied Taiyuan Prefecture all made human umbrellas together. Diao Geng and others' arrival made everyone full of hands. Li Weiwen, who was still in his heart, showed a gratified smile on his tired face.
Diao Geng was shocked: "Mr. Li, are you okay?"
Li Daiwen's face was so pale that he was scary, and his lips were no longer bloody. It was a miracle that Li Daiwen could persevere until now after a long journey and encountering such a ghost weather.
Li Daiwen forced a smile: "No, it's okay, food, food, protect food."
This is the last sentence Li Tiewen said. The weather finally cleared up and the heavy rain stopped. Mu Gaode of the disaster relief team ran away desperately with Li Tiewen on his back. At this time, Li Tiewen was already angry and looked like he was out of reach.
Diao Geng and others behind followed the muddy road, one step deep and one step shallow. Xiajialing was ahead, and the food for disaster relief finally arrived. In the whole of Shanxi, the last disaster area, the life-saving food for the court was also transported.
But Li Waiwen was already buried here forever.
Suddenly, Mu Gaode stopped. Because he felt that the person on his back had gradually stiffened. Mu Gaode was stunned, and the world seemed to be still.
Li Huiwen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was the governor of the two provinces, holding the Sword of the Shangfang, responsible for disaster relief in Shanxi and Henan. The disaster situation was extinguished, and Li Huiwen perfectly completed the task. The victims of Shanxi and Henan were saved, but their Lord Li had already been buried here.
It seemed that Li Daiwen had already felt uneasy on the way to Xiajialing. Mu Gaode, who was following him, said that if he could not come back, he would buried him in Xiajialing. He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of scene would be like in the last disaster area in Shanxi after the disaster relief grain was delivered. In the future, will there be a bumper harvest and a prosperous livestock here.
According to Li Tiewen's last wish, he was buried in Xiajialing. The men, women, young and old in Xiajialing all knelt in front of Li Tiewen's grave to see him off.
The people here spontaneously built a ancestral hall for Li Huiwen to commemorate the great master of the Qingtian in their minds.
Diao Geng and other officials were completely impressed by Li Tiewen's character. Diao Geng himself was also sublimated by Li Tiewen. He decided to be an official in this life and never be greedy for the people's penny. Although he could not be Li Tiewen, he was willing to take Li Tiewen as an example for his whole life.
Who said there were no good officials in the Ming Dynasty? Who said that the Ming Dynasty was not saved? If there were more officials like Li Waiwen, why worry about the world's prosperity!
The news soon reached Beijing City. The disaster in Shanxi and Henan was extinguished and the people were properly resettled. The people in the entire Beijing City were greatly boosted, especially those young and middle-aged people who were resettled from Shanxi and Henan to the three camps. After hearing this, they all cheered and cheered.
In the Forbidden City, the morning court, Zhu Cilang was also there, but there was no trace of joy on Emperor Chongzhen's face. Because they had already received news of Li Tiewen's death.
Officials from Shanxi, the Tongzhi Yao Bin, and Mu Gaode from the disaster relief team, brought news from Shanxi as officials who returned to Beijing to report their duties.
Yao Bin knelt on the ground, frightened to the point of fear: "Long live the Lord, the disaster in Shanxi has been extinguished. Under the leadership of Governor Li, the victims of various counties have started to rescue themselves. The victims reclaimed the land and built canals. It happened that the heavy rain in Shanxi was raining half a month ago, and the drought was relieved. However, Governor Li died of illness for the victims of Shanxi."
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar. Li Daiwen died and left his last time in the disaster area.
Whether it is a good person or a bad person, a clean official or a corrupt official, even if it is an unforgivable person, they are probably still somewhat conscientious in one aspect.
Li Daiwen's death shocked Chongzhen and the court. All the civil and military officials of the court were infected by his noble character. Such a good official could be recorded in history.
Chongzhen was also moved: "I am ashamed of him. Li Dao asked, do you have any words to explain when he left?"
If so, Chongzhen would definitely do his best to satisfy it. No matter what his request was, unfortunately, Mu Gaode's words made Chongzhen feel even more heartbroken.
Mu Gaode leaned on the ground and sobbed, "Report to Master Long Live, Lord Li encountered heavy rain on his way to the disaster area. In order not to let the food for disaster relief be wet by the rain, Lord Li led the way and rushed to the grain bag with the little people. Because of this, Lord Li suffered from the cold and did not survive. Lord Li's last words were, the last words were..."
"What is it!" Chongzhen asked anxiously.
