The Shandong drought of forty-three or four years can be said to be the worst natural disaster in the late Ming Dynasty, when people called "in addition to the disaster in the eastern province, the dead and displaced away from seventy-seven, fortunately, the survivors, non-gutter remnants, then the relics of the party."

In the records of the local diaries, the disaster is also shocking: "between the ages, the soldiers and the dead, the prison dead, the hungry and cold, the sick and the sick, the exiles, the abandoners, the four-way of the peddlers, all together to the six, the folk legend never had this kind of love."

It is only from the phrase that "there has never been such an Ehu" from the folklore that we can imagine the severity of the disaster.

According to another study by a time-and-space population scholar, Shandong had a population of nearly 15 million before the disaster, and this unprecedented drought cost Shandong about six to seven million people, in other words, nearly half of the population lost in Shandong.

Thinking of these, Liu Peng only felt that the feeling of a hundred feelings, but also excited and angry, and he was very proud, he couldn't help but breathe a long breath.

Heavenly injustice, the world is sinking, but as long as you give me a fulcrum, I can live thousands of people, I will not let that havoc repeat.

He said with confidence, "Apa, you can't wait, I can't wait, as the saying goes, 80 less than a sergeant, reading, when will it end soon!"I want to help you now!”

Seeing that Liu Kangjie was still a little hesitant, Liu Peng added: "This world is not peaceful, or early to find a foothold for good!"

“Not that exaggerating, is it?”Liu Kangjie said: "The Lord has been sitting in Jiangshan for 40 years, this Daming has been his wife Pingping, in addition to the north of the previous years, we have not experienced anything big in Shandong!"If Peng Er you think so, you should still read more books, our family should also come up with a reader, Dad and tired can afford it!"

Peace, peace, peace!Liu Peng felt that the most lacking word under the sky was the word peace, so he bitterly persuaded: "Father, the things in this world are more difficult, there is a sad call for gifts?"

Liu Kangjie for a time, he is an old school, this life has not been how to ask people, do not give gifts to the boss, Liu Peng is very assertive: "There is no difficulty in the world, just afraid to ask for gifts, more difficult is to find the way to give gifts, Dad, you are husband's door, you say to me, our county respect the door to which side?" 」

Liu Kangjie shook his head again and was helpless: "Son, where do I know where the door of the county's honoring adults is open?"I have done this for so many years, and I can't say ten words to the county honorable, and I deserve to be a white servant!"

White service is the lowest level of existence in the public door, any casual service, deputy service can support them, Liu Kangjie thought that even the white old six who has left the egg home almost ascended to the deputy service, can not help but feel: "Really want to ask for gifts?" 」

“It’s not just about giving gifts!”Liu Peng said firmly: "Not to mention quickly, before everyone does not react to the things first to finalize, and to do a little care, do the dripping, the son in this life is not good, can not get out of the head, can not marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, it depends on the fact that this thing can not be done!" 」

Liu Peng finally added to the tone: "This matter must rely on Dad!"

Liu Kangjie felt very difficult, but he also knew that this matter had a great relationship with his son's future, his son was too young, but he was too old to do it, if it was done well, perhaps he could really make up for a good gap in the public door before everyone reacted.

What can make a man more responsible, always has only the responsibility on his shoulders.

Although he did not ask for anyone in this life, Liu Kangjie quickly made up his mind: "Then according to your work, my father saved a few silver coins, is ready to marry your daughter-in-law, now it is all used, you can't marry your daughter-in-law in the future, don't blame your father!"Oh, but your second mother is not there, otherwise you can get more money!”

Liu Peng smiled: "The second lady is not there, so this matter can be stepped up, as long as we are quick to cut the knife, do it well, it may not cost much!" 」

The Qing officials are still difficult to break the housework, not to mention their own white house, Liu Kangjie naturally does not want to entanglement in this problem too much: "We work hard, to pay attention to a penny a piece of goods, money spent less, may not have any effect..."

He thought about it and said, “Of course, if you can have a few big money left, I will leave you to marry your daughter-in-law!”

Liu Peng said with confidence: "Marrying the daughter-in-law is not in a hurry, I can't see those small-footed women, but the gift of people, must be a father to take care of!" 」

"No problem!No problem!Everything is your father there!”

Liu Kangjie patted his chest, but he came to the front of Chen Bantou's yard, but he became timid.

Chen Daming is in charge of the fast shift head of the hundred-person, the powerful and the general public, and has his own unique courtyard.

But he is a low-level white service, can only be squeezed with the other five families in a small yard, this is the gap ah!

In addition, he did not have a relationship with Chen Bantou, and the two people said less than 100 words, if he had not been in the fast class for so many years, Chen Bantou may not know him.

But after all, he mustered the courage and knocked on the iron ring of the courtyard door: "Chen Bantou?Is Chen Bent there?”

The door of the courtyard finally opened a slit, but Chen Bentou's voice was not so enthusiastic: "Is it Kangjie?"What is it?There is nothing to say to the gate.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the Liu's father and son, and his tone became more and more public, and even did not want to open the door of the courtyard to invite them in: "If it is a business, wait until tomorrow to the gate!"

Liu Kangjie is a real person, the face becomes red: "class head, we want to ask you to help, let's go first."

Chen Bantou said uncompassiously, “Is there anything you can’t say here?”If it is not easy to say, please come back.”

Liu Kangjie knew that Chen Bantou this person had always been difficult to talk, but did not expect Chen Bantou so difficult to speak, for a time only felt that the bloodline, if not for the future of his son, he was afraid that he would have turned back.

Even so, now Liu Kangjie does not know how to open, a time when the air became frozen, Chen Bantou's eyes also become more and more strict.

Even the door of the courtyard can be closed at any time, just at this time, Liu Peng said next to him: "Our family now encounters great difficulties, I heard that Chen Bantou is a hero of the timely rain Song Gongming, so the first to think of Chen Bantou's English name, to ask you for help!" 」

Timely raining?

Chen Bantou still has a frost on his face: “Nonsense!”

It was only the door that the courtyard door was finally completely open: “Talk to the inside!”Kang Jie, what happened?Since I have been a class leader, my brothers have encountered difficulties, as long as I can do it, I can help it."
