chapter 75 Surprise! A young man stripped in public!



Surprise! A young man stripped in public!

Liang Rui: "..."

So what did this man think he did? He

was a little amused for a moment. But he still silently took the blame that Xu Yanmo handed over.

And the prefect of Xinghua obviously did not intend to do anything to Liang Rui for the time being, and seemed not to see Princess Wanshou retreating. The corner of his mouth moved and he smiled: "Your Highness, in addition to Xinghua Prefecture, Tingzhou Prefecture and Gutian County of Fuzhou Prefecture have suffered disasters today. I have recorded them. Will I send them to the yamen later, or to where Your Highness is staying?"

"Send them to the yamen. I will go back to the yamen to deal with disaster relief affairs after I have inspected various places."

The prefect bowed his hands, as if he really came just to talk about this matter, and left after he finished speaking.

Princess Wanshou was slightly startled, and she felt guilty: "Actually, he is also a good official."

It was just for the sake of promotion, so the method was a little extreme, but it didn't hurt anyone. She just stepped back directly, wasn't it too hurtful?

"Before I arrived in Fujian, the Fujian tour guide was frivolous, and it was this prefect who stood up first and scolded the tour guide. Later I also found out that the prefect of Tingzhou was originally a ridiculous person. During the drought, he did nothing, neither opened the warehouse to release grain, nor comforted the victims. He even said that asking people to ban the capture of turtles would move the emperor and make it rain."

When Princess Wanshou said this, she suddenly became nervous when she thought of Xu Yanmo exposing the lie of the Xinghua prefect.

This matter... couldn't have been made up by the Xinghua prefect?

​​She was quiet for a long time, waiting for Xu Yanmiao's inner voice, and only when Xu Yanmiao's eyes gradually showed doubt did she feel relieved.

- It seems that this matter is true.

Princess Wanshou continued, "It was the Xinghua prefect who acted decisively and found thirty or fifty strong men to control the Tingzhou prefect, took over Tingzhou Prefecture, and rescued the victims."

Liang Rui nodded slightly: "Indeed..." He paused, glanced at Xu Yanmiao, and after realizing that there was no inner voice to refute, he continued with the following words: "He is indeed a good official."

No one knows whether His Majesty will blame him for privately controlling a prefect. It is rare for this person to risk losing his job for the people.

Xu Yanmo also felt that: "Although this man... uh, anyway, he is really doing things for the people."

The other two knew what followed "although", and they all tacitly decided to skip this painful topic.

"Now the disaster relief has reached the final stage."

Princess Wanshou said in a clear voice.

"The affected fields in various places have been surveyed and registered, and relief has been applied to the Ministry of Households, but it has not been delivered yet." "

The draft list of the affected households has also been sorted out, including the names of the affected households, whether they have cattle, livestock, warehouses, and businesses, whether they are extremely poor or second-poor, how many men and women are there, and who is the head of the household. We will check the list and provide relief tomorrow. The names of the people living in the empty houses have also been recorded. If they return, we will check the list and provide relief."

"Before the relief arrived and the draft was finished, the relief was supposed to be for one month. Before we arrived, the local officials had already distributed the relief to each household."

After thinking for a while, Princess Wanshou added: "Each household is given five he of rice per day, and the young and weak are given half of that."

Liang Rui's face was still expressionless, but his tone was obviously much more relaxed: "Your Highness has been very hard-working these days."

Although the court has regulations on the disaster relief process. But for those who do this for the first time, it is difficult to quickly tell the details unless they do it themselves.

He sighed again: "Fortunately, Fujian has been prosperous in recent years, and the local warehouses are fully stocked, otherwise they would have to give silver at a discount."

For the victims of the disaster, giving money is really not as practical as giving them a bite to eat. After all, buying rice during a disaster depends entirely on the conscience of the court and merchants. The conscience of merchants depends on whether they take advantage of the disaster to drive up rice prices, and the conscience of the court depends on whether they take the trouble to stabilize grain prices.

Liang Rui asked about the refugee issue in detail. As they were talking, they suddenly heard a voice in the distance: "Your Highness!" They

turned their heads and saw that it was Lian Hang, the clerk of the Ministry of War.

The clerk of the Ministry of War came all the way, and before he could catch his breath, he raised his voice: "Your Highness! The relief from the court has arrived!"

Princess Wanshou blinked: "Finally it has arrived!"

Although it seems that she and Xu Yanmiao arrived at the same time, the relief application arrived in the capital more than a month ago. At that time, the great wisdom of Fujian had not yet submitted a petition to issue Baoyin, and this month was the transportation time for the relief.

Princess Wanshou was the leader of this trip. Liang Rui bowed slightly: "Please give the order, Your Highness."

Princess Wanshou's black grape-like eyes quickly lit up: "I..." She calmed down and said seriously: "Usually, after registering the draft, we will issue relief tickets to each disaster victim, and the relief T-shirts are all based on the relief tickets. Now it is also the old practice."

"Fujian has eight prefectures. Among them, I am in charge of Fuzhou Prefecture, Xu Yanmiao is in charge of Tingzhou Prefecture, the Shangshu is in charge of Quanzhou Prefecture, Liang Zhushi is in charge of Zhangzhou Prefecture, Lian Siwu is in charge of Yanping Prefecture, and the rest - Xinghua Prefecture, Shaowu Prefecture and Jianning Prefecture - are all provided with relief by local officials."

Princess Wanshou also knew that Xu Yanmiao was secretly chosen to take credit, but taking credit is divided into levels. The lowest level is to eat and wait for death to make money, and the highest level...

"Xu Lang." Princess Wanshou asked him, "The prefect of Tingzhou is now vacant. The burden is the heaviest, and the affairs are the most numerous and trivial. Can you do it well?"

- The highest level, of course, is that the organization gives the burden to you.

Xu Yanmiao calmly answered in front of everyone: "I can!"

*

Xu Yanmiao had never been involved in disaster relief, but most of the Fujian officials had obviously taken great care to organize the rough book, and the book handed to Xu Yanmiao was very complete and detailed. Xu Yanmiao only needed to distribute the relief money step by step.

He was only one person, but there were many Jinyiwei accompanying him. Every two people went to one government office to distribute relief - countless times in the past, blood and tears told every dynasty in China that relief should be provided by people brought from the capital, and local clerks should never be used. They are locals and can easily deceive their superiors and subordinates.

Xu Yanmiao told the Jinyiwei to do their job well, changed his clothes, and went to the countryside alone.

He didn't know how to rescue people from disasters, but every modern person knows one thing -

"Go to the people."

He wanted to know whether the people were living well, whether the relief and the previous relief were in place, and what the people needed. He had to go and see in person so as not to be deceived. He

knocked on every door, and under the pretext of asking for water, Xu Yanmiao pretended to chat with them.

What made him happy was that many people had rice in their kitchens. It wasn't a lot, but it was indeed the relief food distributed by the court.

The only bad thing was...

Xu Yanmiao touched his round belly and went to the wild to relieve himself for the third time.

——Drank too much water.

"I have to change the door brick next time, otherwise I will be poisoned by water..."

Xu Yanmiao muttered as he walked out from behind the tree. He had only walked fifty steps away when he suddenly heard a cry. Holding the musket that he had finally pulled out from his waist with his right hand, Xu Yanmiao touched it carefully.

"Fortunately... His Majesty sent someone to teach me how to use a musket."

It was a woman.

Xu Yanmiao shuddered. He held the musket even tighter.

Having been baptized by the information explosion, he would never use gender to judge a person's strength.

Standing twenty steps away, Xu Yanmiao asked loudly: "That woman! Why are you crying?"

The woman was startled, and when she stood up, her legs went weak and she fell backwards. Xu Yanmiao subconsciously took half a step forward, but was still cautious not to run over - mainly because the other party immediately placed her palms on the edge of the field, took a few breaths, and slowly stood up, revealing a face covered with tear stains.

Xu Yanmiao talked to her at a distance of twenty steps. She was very good-looking and took advantage of her. The woman's defenses were quickly lowered. With a strong nasal tone after crying, she told Xu Yanmiao: "The village wants to pray to the river god for rain and give me to the river god as his wife."

Xu Yanmiao's expression became solemn: "This matter - the local officials don't care?"

The woman lowered her eyelashes: "It was the prefect who agreed."

Xu Yanmiao hurriedly searched the system, but no matter how she searched, she couldn't find the gossip that the prefect of Tingzhou agreed to this matter. Just as she was wondering if this person had deceived her, a light bulb suddenly flashed in her mind, and she searched for the prefect of Xinghua, and sure enough, she found it.

In order to get promoted, this person came up with a crooked idea - to perform a ritual of offering sacrifices to the river god. If it rained, he would take the credit for himself, and if it didn't rain, he would pretend that nothing had happened.

Xu Yanmiao frowned: "Where are your family members? Are they also..." Agree?

The woman showed a bitter look on her face: "I am a young prostitute."

Xu Yanmiao was stunned for a moment before she realized that a young prostitute is an elegant name for a young prostitute or a prostitute. After a closer look, she found that under the woman's heavy makeup, she could vaguely distinguish her childish eyebrows and eyes.

——This is indeed a minor.

How can a prostitute have family members?

Xu Yanmiao said anxiously, "I am from the imperial court, an official in the Ministry of Personnel. Come with me and I will make the decision for you!"

The woman showed a look of joy on her face, subconsciously took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Yanmiao: "No! I can't leave!"

"Huh? Why..."

"The villagers will come to look for me every incense stick! If I can't be found, the whole village will be mobilized, and you will be beaten to death!"

One incense stick is five minutes.

Xu Yanmiao said again: "I will go find someone to save you!"

The woman shook her head again: "After two quarters, the sacrifice will begin."

Two quarters is half an hour, which is definitely not enough time for him to go back and forth.

Xu Yanmiao pinched her fingers, feeling embarrassed for a moment.

The woman's expression was complicated and grateful: "Thank you, my lord. You are kind-hearted and a good official. I am just a dirty person in the land of fireworks. How can it be worth your life? My lord, please leave. The villagers are coming."

Then she saw the young man lowered his head and began to take off his clothes.

The woman's eyes widened: "...My lord?"

The young man took off his outer robe and threw it to her. Then, he showed a brilliant smile: "I look delicate and I won't be exposed even if I pretend to be a woman."

"Take off your outer skirt and give it to me. Put on this dress and go to the nearest government office to find the people who distribute disaster relief food. They are the Jinyiwei. Let them transfer troops. With that dress as a witness, they will believe you. As for me, don't worry. I can deal with you until you come."
