Duan Heshun trembled and smiled miserably.
How else can we deal with it?
He knows best what he has done over the years.
For those crimes alone, ten deaths are enough.
"Master Chen, I have nothing to say. I only regret that I have fallen to this point in the past and have no choice but to do this."
"The land of Mozhou is not protected by the king's law. If I did not obey the orders of the aristocratic families and exploited the people to do these things, I would have been dismissed by those aristocratic families long ago."
These are some of Duan Heshun’s little thoughts.
Although he knew that Chen Yu had the intention to kill him, he still defended himself.
It’s not my fault, it’s the environment that forces me.
Chen Yu sneered and remained unmoved.
"No need to say this. After this disaster relief, I will settle the score with you."
After disaster relief?
Duan Heshun smiled and shook his head.
"Master Chen, you are so naive. Do you really think you can succeed in disaster relief?"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Duan Heshun smiled and said, "Master Chen, do you know how many disaster victims there are in Xiaba County?"
"140,000! Even if you confiscate all my property, how many people can you save?"
"And near Xiaba County, there are twelve other counties. The total number of disaster victims is over a million!"
"Other counties can hold out for a while, but this area is the hardest hit."
"There's no food, no water, and the plague is rampant... Within two days, more than half of the victims in these dozen or so counties will die!"
"How can you save him, sir?"
Yin Zhao and others gasped.
Although I knew the disaster was serious, I didn't expect it to be so serious.
At present, all the disaster relief supplies have been consumed in Tianzhi County and Shangfeng County.
The confiscated money, grain, medicines, etc. here are only enough to treat a limited number of people.
How to save these millions of people?
Even if we rush to Kuwana County now, it will take a day.
Even if everything goes well and the Xuanhuo Formation is solved, it will be like distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
The lives of the victims cannot be saved.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
Yin Zhao felt caught in a dilemma and had no good solution.
Chen Yu said: "Disaster relief is the top priority. These one million disaster victims must be saved!"
"Spread the word that disaster relief supplies will be distributed simultaneously at the county government offices in all twelve counties tomorrow, allowing all disaster victims to collect them on the spot."
Yin Zhao was stunned, and Duan Heshun beside him was also stunned.
"Collect disaster relief supplies on the spot? But where do these supplies come from?"
Chen Yu smiled and looked at Duan Heshun.
"He knows best where the supplies come from."
"Me?" Duan Heshun looked confused.
"Master Chen, are you mistaken? How could I possibly know where the disaster relief supplies are?"
Chen Yu shook his head.
"No, you know. I just heard that you have a booklet that records all the information about the dignitaries in the surrounding twelve counties?"
Duan Heshun nodded, took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Chen Yu.
As a human being, life is all about social relationships.
Especially when he is in this position, he has to take care of all relationships.
This booklet contains the people he contacts during festivals and holidays.
It not only records all the information about the wealthy and powerful people in the twelve surrounding counties, but also remembers everyone's preferences clearly.
It is thanks to this booklet that he is able to make such a good living.
"How do the wealth of these powerful people compare to yours?"
Chen Yu continued to ask.
Duan Heshun laughed at himself.
"To be honest, I have a small fortune in Xiaba County, but compared to those wealthy and powerful families, it's nothing."
"My roots in Mozhou are still shallow, only a few years."
"But they have been rooted in Mozhou for decades, and some of them are even from families that have lived for centuries. I can't even imagine the wealth they have accumulated."
At this point, Duan Heshun was shocked and looked at Chen Yu in disbelief.
"Master Chen, could it be you!!!"
Chen Yu smiled and did not deny it.
Duan Heshun gasped, his face filled with horror.
Chen Yu actually wanted to take action against all the nobles in the twelve counties?
"Master Chen, I advise you not to do this."
Duan Heshun spoke in a deep voice.
"Why?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.
"Because the power of these families is beyond your imagination. You must never use force."
"Really? Then what do you think I should do?"
With his hands folded, Chen Yu looked at Duan Heshun with interest.
"Seek peace! Come to the door and bend down to ask for help from the powerful!"
This isn't the capital, and your reputation won't count here, Master Chen. If you want disaster relief, you have to kneel down. That's the reality."
Chen Yu smiled and shook his head.
"Unfortunately, I was born with the inability to learn to bend over."
"Just look carefully at how I stand straight and then deliver this disaster relief."
"Yin Zhao, go to these twelve counties immediately. When you release the news, give a message to these aristocratic families and the county magistrates."
"Tell them to rush to Xiaba County immediately. I'll treat them to a meal. Those who don't come will be killed on the spot."
"If you can't kill them, tell them I'll come to their house myself."
"yes!"
Yin Zhao took the booklet and made arrangements immediately.
Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
Everyone in the Mingjing Division has his or her own duties.
One hundred people are responsible for disaster relief in Xiaba County.
The remaining people were divided into groups of eight to ten and rushed to the twelve county towns.
