"Wu County Order, the emperor ordered me to be the Qin mission, embezzlement the silver and food from the Taiyuan treasury for disaster relief, but also to let me monitor the disaster situation and return to Beijing in time to report to His Majesty, so I can't stay longer, to make a long story short, you will tell me the disaster in detail first. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wu County's order from the breaking of the embankment in Huangsha Pass to the construction of temporary shelters explained in detail the number of casualties in the affected area and the number of victims.

Shi Yuanzhong listened patiently at first, after all, he did want to repay the emperor, and listened, Shi Yuanzhong gradually yawned.

Wu Xianling actually knew that he was waiting for him to speak first, but there were some things he would never say.

Shi Yuanzhong finally ran out of patience, he was also very bored when he encountered this kind of unreasonable official, and he didn't know if Wu County's order really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, he talked about it for nearly two hours, and he really kept talking about the disaster.

"Okay, okay, I know the thing." Shi Yuanzhong smacked his lips and said, "Then let's talk about how this silver and grain are distributed, and the whereabouts of the silver are also to be explained to the top......"

Shi Yuanzhong thought that he had made it so clear, Wu County ordered him to go on the road, right?

Wu Xianling nodded seriously and said: "Yes, I expect to save some money, plus Lin'an is self-sufficient, this batch of food is enough for the victims to support for nearly a month and a half, and there is no variable." If the disaster relief money is used, part of it will be used as the houses of the victims, about 30,000 taels, and the other 70,000 taels will have to be rebuilt on the embankment, which will take as little as four or five months to a year and a half as ......."

Shi Yuanzhong saw that he had diverted the topic again, and he was annoyed and sneered in his heart, no matter how much he delayed, he couldn't drag it out.

"Wu County Order, let's not pretend to be crazy and stupid......"

"Why did Lord Shi say this?" Wu County Ling was stunned.

The corners of Shi Yuanzhong's mouth trembled, and he said leisurely: "Wu County Ling is pretending to be confused with me, since ancient times, it has been floods, droughts, locust plagues, fires...... This imperial court appropriation is an appropriation, and only one or two out of ten can be used for these displaced people. ”

Wu Xian Ling remained silent, thinking that the old fox's tail was finally revealed, and this was the purpose of his stay at night.

Wu Xian Ling said blankly: "Where is the silver not used for disaster victims?" Lord Shi means ......"

"There are two official words, is the upper mouth important or the lower mouth important?"

"Naturally, everything is important, if you really rank it up, it's like a pavilion, there is no lower floor, where is the upper floor?"

Shi Yuanzhong was sluggish, and said: "Yes, where did the boat come from without water, but Lord Wu, are the victims still a people?"

Wu Xianling was dumbfounded, and asked sullenly, "Why can't it be counted?"

"Hehe, it is the farmers who cultivate the wasteland, the merchants who trade, and the craftsmen who are experts in ingenuity...... "Shi Yuanzhong said with a smile, "And what about the disaster victims?" They are incompetent and useless, they are lawless in a hurry, and they are useless to the society of the country, can they still be called the people? ”

Wu Xian Ling held the chair handle in his hand, his eyes were open, and he could no longer remain calm.

"Therefore, since they are no longer people, even the victims who sometimes make easy children and eat are not even people, they can only be called wild beasts. Why waste their hard-earned silver and food on them? Is there a slight benefit? Raise them to continue to plague and drag down good people? ”

Wu Xian Ling said in a deep voice: "But the silver grain of the imperial court is also from their hands, the responsibility of the monarch is to protect the peace of the world, the duty of our magistrates is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, you are supported by the people, you must protect their well-being, this is taken from the people for the people."

"Yes, you are right, so we are going to protect the useful people, like a hen that does not lay eggs, and a horse that is old and weak, and they have become a burden, and if they are left, they will lose both men and money."

“……”

Wu County's order is impossible to refute, heresy and fallacy cannot be understood, not to mention how can people like Shi Yuanzhong get lost and return in just a few words?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shi Yuanzhong said proudly: "Wu Zhixian, you won't listen to these big truths if you want to come, I just ask you, who does the money or food for disaster relief and relief rely on to distribute it?"

Wu Xian Ling said helplessly: "Official."

"That's right." Shi Yuanzhong said with a smile, "Even the officials can't eat enough, who will go to the disaster relief for you?" Will the silver become a house by itself, and the grain itself into porridge to feed to your victims? ”

"Alright." Wu Xianling interrupted his tirade and said, "Since Lord Shi said this, he must have already thought about where the silver would go. ”

Shi Yuanzhong said with a smile: "Wu Xianling is a cheerful person, I said, since ancient times, only one or two percent has been used on the victims, just 10,000 taels, as long as they don't starve to death, it doesn't matter if they live nourishing or not, what house and house are for people to live in, they don't need it at all."

Wu Xianling raised his head in shock, how ruthless is this person to be able to directly peel off ninety percent?

"Lord Shi, for Yu Guan, if you don't have these tens of thousands of taels of silver, you won't starve to death, but for the victims, this may be their life-saving silver! One penny more may be one more person! ”

"Eh, as I said, they can't be counted as people." Shi Yuanzhong paused for a moment and said, "I know that you are a rare Qingtian parent official, thinking about your own Li people, so let's do it, two percent, this is always enough, right?" ”

Wu Xianling shook his head directly, and decisively refused: "No, don't say that you don't have an explanation for the victims, even if you can't explain to my own conscience!"

Shi Yuanzhong said coldly unhappily: "Don't the people of the official don't have to explain?" The officials and the money and grain officials worked day and night, raising people and horses to open warehouses and transport grain, and rushed to Lin'an County day and night, so they didn't use labor? ”

Wu Xianling hurriedly retorted: "But ......"

"Needless to say." Shi Yuanzhong said with an iron face, "These 80,000 taels are not in the official's pocket, I promise, you can also get 20% under the order of Wu County, this is always okay, right?" ”

"The victims don't even have a bite to eat, what do I want these 20,000 taels for?"

"This official has already discussed with you, and it is your business to agree or not, the days are still long, I can discuss with Wu County Commander for another four or five days, that is, the victims under your rule don't know if they can afford to delay it."

Shi Yuanzhong sneered, dusted off his clothes and got up and left.

Wu County Ling was dumbfounded, Shi Yuanzhong dared to act so arbitrarily, because he had the protection of the left minister, so he wanted to pull Wu County Ling into the water, then everything would be worry-free.

Shi Yuanzhong still had some scruples, but he was afraid that Wu County would make this local official fight to the end and break the net, and no one would be able to get any benefits if it was a big trouble, so Shi Yuanzhong patiently discussed with Wu County Ling and promised 20,000 taels of benefits.

And Shi Yuanzhong relied on the silver and grain in his hands, and he said that he would take it out when he wanted, but the victims couldn't wait, and more than one day would be human life.
