Chapter 107 After the flood

At the same time, the head of Tongshui Town took a carriage to the Anhong County Government Office again. As soon as he entered the door, he went directly to the yard where Mr. Chen’s office was working, with a sad expression, “Mr. Chen, what do you think you can do now!”

In just a few days, Master Chen seemed to be aged teenagers, frowning and shook his head helplessly, "Listen Guo, I am as anxious and worried as you, but this is a natural disaster! Every year, I can't do anything about it! The county magistrate has fallen ill recently because of the flood. It looks like a dusk drum and morning bell. I'm so panicked!

You also know the situation in Anhong County. Finally, a county magistrate who is willing to listen to public opinion and wants to do things will be even worse if something happens again!"

Master Chen was so anxious that he paced back and forth, his body was hunched over.

Elder Guo Li burst into tears, touched his face, and choked, "I don't dare to send people to Shiliba Township to check the situation now, especially Pingyuan Township, which is so miserable every year! The heavy blow last year has not yet recovered, and this year it's like this again! You say this..."

Li Jian Guo couldn't even continue to speak. He really didn't dare to think about it. If the entire village in Pingyuan Township was gone this time, would he have been the end of his life here?

The two were saying this, and the county magistrate dragged his sick body over and looked at Lichang Guo as soon as he entered the door, "How is the situation in Pingyuan Township?"

Guo Lichang felt a stern heart and knelt down to the county magistrate with a thump.

When he knelt down, the county magistrate thought that Pingyuan Township was gone. He turned his eyes and fainted!

"Sir, sir..." Mr. Chen became anxious, and a group of people flocked to the county magistrate to flock.

The county government once fell into chaos.

It rained for another two days. Just as the water level was about to rise to half the height of the wall, the dark clouds finally gradually dissipated, and the faint sunlight shone through the clouds.

The villagers who were busy with their heads down felt their eyes lit up. They looked up quickly and found that the sun was coming out.

One person cheered excitedly, and the others cried, laughed and shouted.

Some people felt relieved after holding their breath, and fainted, and even more people were crazy, laughing and shouting.

As soon as the rain stopped, the water receded quickly. In just half a day, the water level dropped by more than half. Now this water level is a bit embarrassing for Tang Ning. As long as she lowers it again, her bamboo raft will not be able to hold on and she has to walk in the water with her legs.

The villagers who were locked in the paddy field walls finally could climb over the wall. When they came outside, their first idea was to go home and take a look. Without surprise, everyone's houses were soaked in big water that they could not live in at all, and there was nothing to rescue in the things inside.

Everyone was crying but not crying. At this time, they found that the Tang family and the Huang family who built the high foundation were not affected. Looking at the water level, the flood only flooded half of the foundation. It was really enviable. Those families who saved the crops had already begun to think about rebuilding a house like the Tang family.

Of course, I have to go to the county government to mow this money. After the flood is released, the court must have the disaster relief funds!

Xijing Imperial Palace.

The emperor looked at the notes for disaster relief and war in front of him angrily, and threw them down with one copy in hand, "Silver, silver, silver, silver! All are silver! I am the emperor, not a cast silver! I endured asking me for silver in the war, but I endured it, but after paying my wife and soldiers, I still dare to ask for silver now! Useless waste!

Disaster relief? Disaster relief every year and every month, Pingyuan Township has scattered a lot of money from me? My summer resort has been built for five years but has not been restored. Where can I still have money? They are all waste! What's the use of I support you!"

All civil and military officials all lowered their heads, and did not dare to show off.

Han Wen, the Minister of Personnel, stood up with a fierce look in the eyes of Yuan Yaokun, and said, "Report to the Emperor, the county magistrate of Pingyuan Township has changed every year. No one can solve the problem of Pingyuan Township. I would like to report to Your Majesty to carefully send capable people to Pingyuan Township as a county parent official."

"Careful person? The Minister of the Secretariat is really good at telling jokes. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been fighting for many years, and those who are capable are either killed in battle or are cheated. I don't know who has the ability to solve the troubles in Pingyuan Township. Are you?" The Minister of War Zeng Pan retorted unabashedly.

Yuan Yaokun, Minister of Personnel, hurriedly said: "Mr. Zeng was joking. Lord Han meant that the situation in Pingyuan Township was special and could not be solved by ordinary people. Before, he thought Du Baihao was the favorite student of Prime Minister Ning. Maybe there was a way to solve the problem of Pingyuan Township. Now it seems that we have overestimated Du Bailiang..."

Zeng Pan laughed so much that he grabbed Yuan Yaokun's collar, "I think Lord Yuan must be very capable. It's better to send Lord Yuan to Pingyuan Township to make meritorious contributions than to talk here, right?"

Yuan Yaokun's face turned gloomy and said angrily: "It's too much to deceive others! Lord Zeng, don't think you are the Minister of War and I'm afraid of you!"

Let him be a minister of six ministries and serve as a local minority official, either humiliating or cursing! No matter how hard Yuan Yaokun can pretend, he can't stand it.

At this time, Prime Minister Qiu, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, said slowly: "Stop quarreling, Du Bailiang is still very capable, otherwise he would not have said those words in public in the morning court. It just seems to be a bit sensational now."

At that time, Du Bailiang accused the emperor of building a summer resort for being exhausted and financially injured in the morning court. He also insulted Prime Minister Qiu and others for being intrigued and indifferent to human affairs. He was in trouble for the sake of his own selfish desires. He offended a lot of power and was directly demoted to Pingyuan Township.

Prime Minister Qiu and others were planning to punish him for his improper governance. Unexpectedly, the Minister of War Zeng Pan would speak for Du Bailiang at this time. It was strange that one civil servant and the other military officer were all in the military officer. I don’t know what the relationship between the two secretly had.

Prime Minister Qiu's eyes flashed without saying a word.

The emperor was upset by the people below and slapped the table in anger, "Enough! I raised you to help me share my worries, not to let you make things difficult for me. I gave you a day to come up with solutions. If you can't think of it, you will be punished! Retire you from the court!"

As soon as the emperor left, the people below were no longer concerned. Zeng Pan directly punched Yuan Yaokun in the shock of everyone.

Yuan Yaokun was resentful from the heart, but he was not Zeng Pan's opponent. He angrily made everyone from the Ministry of Personnel rush up. The two ministers fought in the hall without any image, so they naturally ended with a crushing victory in the Ministry of War.

After returning with a grudge, Yuan Yaokun gritted his teeth for a long time, finally calmed down with the comfort of his guests, and wrote an original memorial to send it to the palace.

The undercurrents in Xijing did not affect Pingyuan Township, which was the center of the topic. Tang Ning helped the people of Pingyuan Township with his own strength to the greatest extent. It is said that adding icing on the cake is easy to provide timely help. After this flood, the people of Pingyuan Township have obviously become much more kind to the Tang family. Even if life is difficult, some people will give them a handful when they go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.
