The tranquility of the morning was shattered by the sudden news.

But as a contractor, it is natural that you have to contract everything that God has given you.

Although God has not favored Guo Dan so far, it is either a drought or a flood, but it is really a life.

At this time, Guo Dan didn't dare to pin his hopes on the imperial court, not even the slightest hint, because he didn't trust the imperial court at all, and that efficiency would definitely lead him to hell.

You can only do this on your own.

The entire dental line was mobilized at once.

Grain.

In the face of disaster, food is always the first priority.

Guo Dan asked them to immediately send a message to various money villages, asking them to observe the grain situation in various places, and be ready to buy a large amount of grain at any time, and to send a message to Li Tong, asking him to immediately find out how many grain ships on the river belonged to Yaxing, and how many grain ships could be sent into Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion.

Rao is Zhu Yaoyuan also unconsciously devoted herself to work, this accident made her quickly enter the role of secretary, and she mainly helped Guo Dan write letters.

Having said that, there is really a lack of such a person around Guo Dan, after all, they are just a primary school graduate, and they are still not very good at writing, and the most important letters are Aunt Xu and Kou Zhuansha.

But Aunt Xu doesn't come often, Kou Zhuansha is sometimes very busy, and Zhu Yao's writing is outstanding, even a little too outstanding, resulting in a commercial letter, written in a wonderful life, Cao Xiaodong They don't necessarily understand it.

In any case, this made Zhu Yaoyao quickly gain confidence.

"What's going on?"

Aunt Xu, who was belated, although she didn't know the reason yet, the employees who were already running outside undoubtedly told her that something must have happened.

"It's a story about excessive prayer."

Guo Dan, who was standing in front of the secretary's desk, shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and said to Zhu Yao: "That's probably what it means." ”

Zhu Yaoyao nodded and said, "I know." ”

Aunt Xu also glanced at Zhu Yaoyuan, frowned slightly, and when Guo Dan came over, she asked in a low voice, "Who is she?" ”

"Guess!"

Guo smiled lightly.

Aunt Xu said: "Then don't guess. Speaking of this, she whispered: "Your trick is still high." ”

She understood it instantly, and she couldn't help but secretly exclaim in her heart.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Guo smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Layman, please take a seat." ”

He didn't plan to hide Aunt Xu, because he knew that Aunt Xu often sat here, and it would be difficult to hide it, but he wouldn't say Zhu Yao's identity.

After sitting down, Aunt Xu glanced at Zhu Yaoyuan slightly, and her eyes flashed with incredulity.

Guo smiled lightly: "Layman, why don't we talk about this topic another day." ”

Aunt Xu was slightly stunned and asked, "What happened?" What is Prayer Excessive? ”

Guo Dan said: "In the past few years, Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion have been raining less, so we all pray for a little more rain, but God satisfied us a few days ago, and it rained heavily for many days, resulting in floods in Kaifeng and Weihui. ”

"Flooding?"

Aunt Xu looked shocked and said, "Then you asked me to go to Kaifeng Mansion together?" ”

"Don't worry."

Guo Dan said: "I have to report this situation to Your Majesty first, but I don't know if there will be any taboos in this." ”

"This...!"

Aunt Xu took a small breath and said: "Generally speaking, if there is a natural disaster, the state officials will naturally be to blame, but the imperial court will not rashly dismiss the local prefect, mainly depending on two points, one is whether there are any human reasons. The second is what the situation is like for disaster relief.

But you're not an official, you're just a contractor, and I don't know exactly what your responsibilities are. ”

Guo Dan said: "If there are man-made reasons, it is illegal, then of course how to judge it, but aside from this, I wrote very clearly in the contract with the imperial court, if there is a natural disaster, I will be given tax exemption according to the situation, and then it will decrease every year. But I'm afraid that someone will make a big fuss about me and make a big fuss about me, and then I will be hurt by the enemy. ”

Aunt Xu asked, "Then do you know the specific situation?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "Judging from the letter, the situation may not be very serious, but there are many places involved, and the specific situation, I am afraid that I can only know this when I go there, Xiaodong and Chenchen have no experience in either, and they don't know whether it is serious or not." ”

Aunt Xu pondered a little and said, "I suggest that you exaggerate the disaster as much as possible. ”

Guo Dan sighed: "How do you say this?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "In my opinion, no matter whether this disaster is serious or not, the imperial court will most likely not give you any support, unless you return Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion, you have to rely on yourself in this matter, and you must not rely on the imperial court." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I think so too, shouldn't we try to make a big deal small?" ”

Aunt Xu shook her head and said: "If you make a big deal small, then you can't judge how they will make a big fuss about it, but if you make a big deal and ask the court to allocate funds to support you, then the ministers of the court will definitely compete with you in this regard." ”

Guo Dan's eyes lit up and said: "But I don't have the luxury of expecting their help at all, that is to say, their attacks are insignificant to me." ”

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "That's right." ”

It's actually a preemptive strike, fighting them in an innocuous place, and I don't intend to ask you for this money, but I just want it, and it doesn't matter if you don't give it to me in the end.

But if Guo Dan doesn't want this money, then the other party may cause trouble from all aspects, which is equivalent to finding a battlefield to settle the enemy.

Guo Dan pondered for a while, nodded and said, "I'll report to Your Majesty first, layman, you go and prepare, we may have to go to Kaifeng Mansion immediately." ”

Aunt Xu nodded.

The two stood up at the same time, and Guo Dan came to Zhu Yaoyuan's table, "Have you finished writing?" ”

Zhu Yaoyao quickly stood up and handed a piece of paper to Guo Dan.

Guo Dan took it and looked at it, nodded and said: "There is progress compared to the previous letter, but it is still necessary to get rid of some habits of chewing words, because the people who read the letter have a very high level of education." ”

As he spoke, he carefully folded the letter, returned to his desk, took out an envelope, put the letter in it, and stamped it. ”

He said to Aunt Xu again: "Li Fangchen, the secretary I just recruited." ”

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Hello! ”

"Hello."

Li Fangchen nodded hurriedly.

At this time, Kou Zhuansha pushed open the door and walked in, "Little sister is here." ”

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "You're busy, don't worry about me." ”

Kou Zhuansha smiled helplessly, and said to Guo lightly: "Husband, good news, according to the news from Jinyulou and Zuixiaolou just now, in view of last year's tariff turmoil, they all bought a large amount of grain at the end of last year, if their granary was not affected by the flood, then Weihui Mansion should have a lot of grain at present." ”

"Thank goodness."

Guo Dan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Madam, this place will be handed over to you, I have to rush to report to Your Majesty." ”

Kou Zhuan Sha nodded.

Aunt Xu said: "I don't have a lot of things to prepare, I just tell someone to get it, I'll stay here and see if there is anything I can do to help Zhuan Shade." ”

"That's fine, I'll go first."

Guo Dan went out and slapped the letter on the small table, "Send it to Weihui Mansion immediately." ”

With that, he left.

At this time, there were only three women left in the house, and Kou Zhuansha said a little depressed: "Big sister, I won't tell you, I really don't have a clue now, I never thought that one day, I would have to find a way to help the disaster, I really have no experience in this matter." ”

She will behave very strong in front of anyone, but only in front of Aunt Xu will she show her helplessness, or frustration, because when she knows Aunt Xu, it is very helpless.

Aunt Xu smiled: "You don't have to worry too much, it is said that it is disaster relief, naturally it is necessary to have money, you have heard those situations before, most of them are caused by lack of money, but I believe that your dental industry will come up with enough money for disaster relief." ”

Kou Zhuansha smiled bitterly: "But there are currently two state capitals affected, and I don't know ......!" ”

Aunt Xu said: "Maybe the situation is better than we imagined. ”

The two of them chatted as they sat down at the couch.

didn't know that Zhu Yaoyao had been secretly paying attention to the two of them, if Kou Zhuansha's shrewdness and ability were just an occasion, then Aunt Xu's appearance was enough to prove that women can also perform very well outside.

This gave Zhu Yaoyuan great confidence and also guided her in the direction.

Although she came out and was free, she didn't know where the road ahead was and how to live, and she was also groping.

......

Over there, Guo Dan and Yang Feixu rode to the Royal Horse Farm quickly.

Coming to the Royal Racecourse, the situation seemed to be somewhat unexpected by Guo Dan.

Wanli did not meet Guo Dan in the office, but in the corridor conference room that Guo Dan involved for him, in addition, there were cabinet ministers, ministers, and some science and technology officials.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"No courtesy."

Wanli immediately asked: "Guo Dan, you came just in time, I just heard that there was a flood in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, do you know the situation?" ”

"Grass people.....!"

Guo Dan secretly glanced at those ministers, and saw that many ministers were not good-looking, and they were bitter in their hearts.

"Your Majesty asks you something, why don't you answer?"

Song Jingsheng said suddenly.

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people also want to report this matter to Your Majesty, according to the news that the grass people have learned, there are indeed floods in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion. ”

Wanli hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" ”

In fact, he is more nervous than anyone else, because it is all his money!

Guo Dan said: "As far as the grass people know, the situation in Kaifeng Mansion is relatively serious, and the grass people hope that the imperial court can fulfill the contract, give the grass people some help, and exempt some taxes, so that the grass people can mobilize more money for disaster relief." ”

Wanli looked pained, nodded, and was about to say yes.

"You still have the face to ask for money."

Song Jingsheng immediately stood up and said: "When the imperial court wanted to increase the contract price, what did you say at the time, you said that you spent a lot of money every year to build water conservancy, and it was only a long time, and it turned out to be a flood." And it is the Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion that you contracted, it can be seen that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, and it is your improper governance that caused Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion to suffer this great disaster. ”

Guo Dan asked unwillingly: "Is there a flood in Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion?" ”

Song Jingsheng asked rhetorically: "Could it be that you still hope that there will be floods across the country?" ”

"The grass people didn't mean that." This hat is buttoned, Guo Dan can't wait to give him a thumbs up. But I wondered very much, no! As far as there is a flood in my Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion, is this the day that will kill me?

Yang Mingshen immediately said: "Your Majesty, if the wind and rain are smooth, Guo Dan's little trick can still fool the people, but if there is any accident, he will immediately be at a loss, and will only ask the court for help. ”
