Early the next morning, the prefect Cheng got up early with heavy dark circles under his eyes and waited, and the prefect's wife in the backyard also arranged meals early in the morning.

Although in general, almost the entire south of the Yangtze River has been affected, but there is also a light and heavy Cheng dù, the most severely affected is the area of Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province and the area of Wuxing, Zhejiang, which is known as "Suhu Lake is familiar with the world", and other areas are generally affected, it stands to reason that the people can still be hungry in this case, and it has not yet reached the point of indiscriminate indiscriminateness, and secondly, although the first crop is destroyed, but the farmers can still plant the second crop, and this winter can still get by, but look at the people walking around on the street, what is going on?

The most important thing is instigated by the thieves, first of all, it is said that the court will immediately provide disaster relief, grain seeds or something, the court loves the people like a son, how can they ignore them, let the people eat some of the rice seeds left, it's okay, there is a court, the people didn't want to use the seeds in their hands at first, but the neighbors around them all ate it, and some people swore that the court would take care of them, so they slowly ate the rice seeds in their hands, and now there are only a few people with rice seeds in their hands, And after a few days, some people instigated that the imperial court would support the war in the northwest, and they couldn't take care of food or anything.

For a while, the people panicked, there was no surplus grain in their hands, and the grain on the ground was destroyed again, and they planted again? The seeds are all in the stomach, what should I do? Rob, what can I do, the court ignores them, they can only rely on themselves, when the prefect reacts, it is too late, this qiē is developing too fast, as if it was premeditated, it is unprepared, and now the people from the court have finally arrived, otherwise, Cheng Zhifu will cry, why do you say he is so unlucky? The fat shortage that he finally grabbed became a hot potato in his hands, who did he provoke? With this stain, don't think about going up in the future, if you can come down safely, he will be Anitabha.

"How many families are there in the Suhu area that was severely affected by the disaster?" Gu Shizi learned about the general situation from Governor Cheng's mansion, which was similar to what his subordinates reported, and he also knew that he had nothing to hide, so he asked.

Cheng Zhifu knew that this was his chance to express his feelings, and hurriedly said what he knew, and what he usually had to be reserved and the like had already fallen aside, and said with a little impatience: "There are about 900 families who have been severely affected by the disaster, and those are all families who have lost grain in the fields and have no grain seeds. "After all, it has only been more than two months since the disaster, and it is not easy to calculate this number.

"How are the people who were affected by the disaster being resettled now?"

"Some of the displaced victims were pacified on the spot in the subordinate county towns, and some of those who had grain in their hands persuaded them to return to their hometowns to farm."

"What about the people outside the city?"

"Those are the ones who make the bandits homeless, not only in our Yangzhou Prefecture, but also in several prefectures."

"Damn, is the banditry so rampant now?" King An said angrily.

"Do they still have the court in their eyes? What does the garrison do, and I don't know if there are bandits? The other personnel also asked questions, obviously angry, but no one was stunned and said that they wanted Wen Dudu to give an explanation, and they could still make a show.

Cheng Zhifu wiped the sweat on his forehead, it was really hot in the summer, coupled with the pressure in his heart, he sweated more, and fortunately, Wen Dudu went to arrange other matters, otherwise he would definitely be a sandwich when he quarreled, can he say that he envied others from the Rongguo Mansion? Obviously, these are the affairs of their garrison, why don't you go to crusade against Wendu Governor if you have opinions, it's not that people are powerful, I think so, but I still have to help people say good things: "When the incident happened, Wendu Governor sent troops to suppress the bandits as soon as possible, and our yamen also cooperated to appease the people and persuade them to return to their hometowns." ”

"Well, everyone is doing a good job, I don't know if the thieves who instigated those homeless people can be caught?" Gu Shizi asked, this disaster relief is only nominal, its purpose is mainly to eliminate the anti-thieves, if it is not for the anti-thieves to make trouble in it, just a few dozen barbarians will not be able to destroy so many fields, the people's feelings will not be so intense, and there will not be so many people displaced, so this is the key.

To do this position, there is a little bit of political sensitivity, at this time, if you are not careful, you will be classified as an anti-thief party, although Cheng Zhifu knows that he is innocent, but others don't know, and what if someone frames him to get out? So he said truthfully and affirmatively, "At first, the prefects of several of our prefectures and cities did not react, and when they found out that something was wrong, the situation was already a little out of control, so they first tried to appease the people, and then sent competent officials to investigate, and finally arrested forty-two people, and the prison officials interrogated and found that twenty-nine of them were paid money to spread rumors, and eight were ordered to gather people to make trouble, and the remaining five were all small leaders, and they were also ordered to act, and only one committed suicide, but none of them knew who their master was. Now they are still in prison. ”

Gu Shizi knew that in the past two months, the prefect of Cheng refused to know more, this time the accident in Jiangnan seemed to be premeditated, and I don't know how many officials were involved, this prefect Cheng knew that he was innocent, so he chose Yangzhou as the stronghold of disaster relief, and several other prefectures and cities still have to be examined, I hope they are innocent, it's really hot, I can't stand it in a place like Jiangnan on such a hot day, and I don't know if Xin'er in the house can stand it, what about the body, Although the letter said that there was no big problem, but in such a hot weather, her body can't stand the ice, I'm afraid she will have to suffer a little, well, I heard that there are many talented people in Jiangnan, and let my subordinates look for it when it's over.

Can you say that Gu Shizi is a good father? This kind of business trip does not forget the daughter of the family at all times, but unfortunately Gu Mingxin does not know, if she knows, she will definitely award a twenty-four filial piety good father award to the cheap father.

Returning to the topic, although Gu Shizi deserted a little, he did not hinder his work, and said a little cautiously: "The prisoners in the prison are going to be seen in prison, and I will arrange for someone to retry them later." “

"If someone has been arranged to watch the prison in prison, it will not be wrong." Governor Cheng hurriedly said.

"Governor Cheng has done a good job, your merits are remembered by the emperor, this disaster relief is done, and the people will remember your good." Wang An saw that he understood almost everything, as a representative of the royal family, it is the bounden duty of every royal family member to show the generosity of the royal family in a timely manner, and he can still do this.

"Don't dare, don't dare, this is what Weichen should do, it is the blessing of Weichen to serve the emperor and the court." Cheng Zhifu hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said, well, is this King An cheating on me, remember that this is the first time I have been in contact with him, and I have never offended him in the past, why do you say that the people will remember their own merits, and the merits of the people can be remembered by an official? If you want to remember that it is also the emperor's business, is King An suspected that I am an anti-thief? This is really wronged, how can this be good?

After Wang An finished speaking, he sat aside and drank his tea again, not knowing at all that his words of appeasement made Cheng Zhifu so uneasy.
