At this moment, Zhang Lingrong was catching up from behind, and he was suddenly rescued, and he was full of questions: Who are these people? Who are Guo Wenying? He didn't have time to ask.

It's just that Guo Wenying didn't want to see her, and when she saw him coming, she immediately let Lu Weixin stop her, and then hurried away with Lu Junyan and a few.

They traveled all the way, passed through Jiangsu, arrived in Zhejiang, and as soon as they stepped on the ground in Zhejiang, they encountered a large number of victims.

It is said that this year, there have been several heavy rains in Zhejiang, and many crops have been flooded, and local officials have not been able to provide disaster relief, and the people have been displaced, so they can only leave their hometowns with their families and go to other places to make a living.

They walked all the way, and when they saw the hungry people with yellow faces and thin muscles, Guo Wenying didn't want to mention it in her heart. Look at the rich families and local officials, and then look at these people who have no homes to return to and whose survival is unsustainable, the gap between them is not only huge.

They didn't show their hiding along the way, but just watched the suffering of some people along the way, observed the people's feelings, and by the way, saw how these officials behaved.

On this day, I arrived in Huai'an County, just entered the county seat, and was just in time for the county lord to take people to the porridge field.

There are many people around the porridge field, all of them are people in rags, but the porridge in the porridge pot is only sparse and only a few grains of rice.

The imperial court has an order that all the porridge fields for disaster relief must not be inserted with chopsticks.

Guo Wenying's brows furrowed tightly, and asked Yunmo to find out what was going on, if the officials were derelict in their duties, they should be severely punished.

Lu Junyan said on the side: "Wen Ying, it's good that this porridge field can be erected, you see how many porridge fields we have seen this way? ”

Guo Wenying said: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the land of fish and rice, and there is no grain in the official treasury, where does the grain go?"

Lu Junyan moved his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, he has been an official in Zhejiang for more than a year, and he knows a little bit about the cats in this officialdom. Whether it is disaster relief silver or disaster relief food, I don't know how many layers of skin have to be peeled off from above. When I came out of the capital, I picked up one layer, and when I got to the local governor, the inspector, etc., I picked up another layer, and then the prefect picked up another layer, and finally there was not much left at the county level.

It's the grain that was originally stored in a prefecture and county, and it has been a war and a drought and flood disaster over the years, and it has been consumed almost a long time ago, and even if it is not consumed, it is cheaper. This rat is not another mouse, it is all stolen by the officials who guard it, either shoddy or misappropriated, and nine out of ten treasury are empty. It's just that these are extremely secret things, if no one in the court investigates, if someone investigates, most of the officials on this chain of ropes will have to eat melons.

Guo Wenying knew what he meant when she looked at him, but he refused to say it, and she knew it in her heart. She has also been in the southeast for nearly two years, and it is impossible for her to know anything about the beating sex of these officials, even if she doesn't ask how much she knows.

It's just that the officials do this, and in the end, it is the common people who suffer. sighed secretly in her heart, thinking that when she arrived at the governor's office, she would definitely rectify the official style of the two provinces.

However, the key at the moment is how to provide disaster relief, so that the victims can have food as soon as possible, so that they will not starve all over the ground and die too many people. She was in a hurry, so she urged Lu Junyan to wait overnight, and finally arrived at the border of Hangzhou two days later.

Hangzhou is the ancient capital and a place of beautiful scenery. They made an appointment with Lu Yiyu, Zhang Mingchang and others to meet in Hangzhou, but after entering the city, they found that the governor's guard of honor had not yet arrived, so they had no choice but to wait for a day or two.

They entered the city in the name of Lu Junyan, but they didn't expect to be informed by the prefect of Hangzhou as soon as they entered the city, and Baba invited them to the banquet.

This Hangzhou prefect is just an acting prefect, and the new prefect is the fat man, who was injured on the lake, and most of them are still rubbing on the road. This Du prefect is about thirty years old, and he acts in a certain way, Guo Wenying sees that this person is more suitable for the position of this prefect than the fat salt merchant.

This Du Lingyu is also a good person, and warmly invited Lu Junyan to live in the mansion, although he didn't know Guo Wenying's identity, but it was expected to be the daughter of the Lu family, and he was very polite to her.

Guo Wenying asked him how much food was still in the treasury of Hangzhou Mansion, Du Lingyun was stunned, but he still returned: "Miss, our Hangzhou Mansion has not been peaceful in the past two years, and there is not much food left. ”

"How many more loads?"

"But more than two hundred loads?"

"How many can be transferred from nearby prefectures and counties?"

Du Lingyu was extremely strange in his heart, and he didn't know what this eldest lady was doing with so many questions, but he had always been shrewd, and he could see at a glance that even Lu Junyan was extremely flattering to this Miss Guo, and he didn't dare to disobey at all. I knew that this young lady must be extraordinary, and I didn't dare to slack off a little, so I told the situation of the yamen of several state capitals around Hangzhou.

Guo Wenying saw that he knew a lot about the situation of the government, and couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, this person is really capable, she is the time to use people, and she can stay by her side when she turns around.

This Du Lingyun has been a fellow acquaintance of several prefectures, from the age of 20 to an official, he was promoted to a fellow intellectual, and he has changed many places in the past ten years from Jiangsu to Zhejiang, so he has some understanding of various state capitals. Guo Wenying can answer every thing he commands, and try to figure out a solution as soon as possible.

Guo Wenying was very satisfied, nodded and said: "Then transfer all the grain from these prefectures and counties and send it to several severely affected counties in Huai'an for disaster relief." ”

Du Lingyun let out an "ah", and for a while she didn't know why she suddenly ordered, this grain transfer was not something that he could do as an acting prefect.

He smiled humbly, "Miss, you may not know that the military and political affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces are under the control of the Governor, and this grain transfer requires a warrant from the Governor, and a grain of rice cannot be transferred without a warrant." ”

Guo Wenying then remembered that others didn't know her identity, so she asked Lu Junyan to take the governor's warrant to Du Lingyun and ask him to quickly transfer grain from the surrounding prefectures and counties.

Although Du Lingyun wondered where the governor's warrant came from, he still acted according to the order, and he also handled it properly, but in two or three days, thousands of loads of grain were transferred. Although these are not enough for disaster relief, they can also solve the urgent need first, and wait until they return to Fuzhou to plan.

They stayed in Hangzhou for three days, and the governor's guard of honor also arrived, and it is said that the road was blocked by a flash flood, so it was only a few days late.

Guo Wenying told Zhang Mingchang to send someone to follow Du Lingyun to disaster relief, and then asked Lu Yiyu to set off with the guard of honor first, while she and Lu Junyan continued to go to Fuzhou in micro-service.

Lu Yiyu didn't worry about her, and persuaded: "Wen Ying, I heard Lord Lu say that you have encountered bandits along the way, which is very dangerous, you should follow the honor guard, there are many guards to protect you." ”
