Leren not only has to sort out the business matters, but also listens to the news from the cabinet.

Mu Qingge was also waiting for these news, especially the letterheads sent from the disaster-stricken areas had been carefully read, these were very important to the place they were about to go.

"You seem to be paying more attention to the disaster?" Leren raised his head and picked up the wick, looked at Mu Qingge and asked, "Is it because the wind is dustless?"

Of course, this is there, but Mu Qingge still wants to really pay attention to the disaster, so he shook his head and said: "Feng Wuchen didn't help me and things were done very well before, so there is no need to worry about him, I was thinking about the collapse of the river embankment, Qianli Zeguo, I don't know how many victims have been displaced."

Le Ren looked at Mu Qingge's frowning appearance, and asked rhetorically: "Do you need me to help mobilize some financial resources to buy grain and transport it to relatively wealthy areas?"

Mu Qingge asked rhetorically, "Are we rich here?"

"Because Linglong Pavilion does not need to pay taxes to the local government, it can quickly expand a lot of business channels, as long as you don't want to manage the entire disaster area, I think you can still help some of it."

Hearing this, Mu Qingge said: "Then buy the things back first, and then look back at the situation!" Grain and grass can be stopped close to the disaster area. ”

The two of them were almost in the middle of the night when they finished their work, so they hurriedly cleaned up and fell asleep.

Going out for a walk is not as comfortable as at home, Mu Qingge hasn't fallen asleep in the second half of the night, and when he wakes up the next day, he is dazed.

After packing up and preparing to go, Mu Qingge rode on a horse and walked staggeringly on the road, and the little pendant rode beside her and looked at her shaky appearance and asked, "Young lady, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

"I barely slept."

Mu Qingge swayed in a daze and said: "But it's okay, I can squint right away, you don't have to accommodate me, I just haven't slept outside for a long time." ”

Seeing that Mu Qingge could really fall asleep on horseback on horseback, Xiao Shenzi was very worried and said beside him: "She's really okay, right?" ”

"It should be fine, don't worry!"

Halfway through, the convoy stopped and stopped, and there were constantly large groups of marchers passing by on the official road, which seemed to have withdrawn from the south, and even had injuries on his body, Mu Qingge sobered up a little before asking: "Little pendant, what's going on?" Is there a place to fight? ”

They were standing on the side of the road to make way for the marching officers and soldiers, and the little pendant glanced at the clothes on their bodies and said: "These should all be from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, not a normal change of guards, it is estimated that there are many victims in some places, so they will increase their troops wherever they want to drive the victims from going to the capital." ”

"Don't let you go to the capital?"

"Generally speaking, the city lords in the disaster area will use this method to restrict the direction of the displaced people with cavalry, so as to block the news of Gyeonggi."

Mu Qingge was even more puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "The victims of the disaster don't want to provide disaster relief, but think about how to deceive the superiors and subordinates, what kind of parent official is this?" ”

"Young lady, it's too easy for you to think, report something big to report, lose your official position and remove from office, if it's a big thing, it will be copied and beheaded, this is a big thing." The little pendant whispered: "Who is not afraid of losing his life? ”

Mu Qingge didn't speak, but his mood was very complicated, and Le Ren asked beside him: "Then you have seen it quite thoroughly, and your analysis is reasonable, I don't think you are very old." ”

"Our northwest is either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, because I don't know how many people have lost their officials because of such things, some because of infighting, and some because of poor supervision." The little pendant sneered and said: "Under the heavy punishment, everyone is in danger, but if they are not punished, they are all busy climbing up, who cares about the life and death of the people?" Anyway, they don't work. ”

As they spoke, the cavalry battalion on the road was all gone, so they continued on the road.

The weather was not very good, and it meant to rain, but they were already about to arrive, and they were not in a hurry, so Mu Qingge asked: "Then according to your meaning, there is no way to do this?" ”

"Method, there is naturally a way, in the years in the northwest where our Fifth Highness was in charge, meritocracy, officialdom was clear, and the people loved him, but he was transferred for only one year, and the officialdom atmosphere has changed, and inflammation abounds, why? It's because the newly appointed governor has formed a party for personal gain, messing up the official style in the northwest! ”

Listening to him say this, although it is a bit of a praising of Feng Wuchen, but according to his words, Feng Wuchen did a lot of good things in the years when he was in power in the northwest.

"Young lady, I'm just a rough person, and I don't understand the teachings of the saints, anyway, I just look at the comparison of the work of the Fifth Highness, and I feel that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked." The little pendant said with certainty.

Mu Qingge, who was riding on the horse, didn't say much, but he was a little more curious about Feng Wuchen.

Their horse team could already see the silhouette in the distance, Mu Qingge looked into the distance and turned back to the little pendant and said, "It seems that we are going to separate here, you are going to the west and not enter the city, right?" ”

"If you don't enter, we will almost be able to get to Biancheng in the afternoon, young lady, you should also be careful, although I see that you have changed into ordinary people's clothes, but it is still not safe, you should try to be careful." The little pendant didn't talk nonsense, his team was almost finished, so he arched his hand and said, "Don't leave it here." ”

"Go ahead."

After saying that, the little pendant rode a horse and turned around and left, Mu Qingge and Leren continued to go south, the city is called Jiangcheng, built near the river, after stepping on this road and then going south, it has basically arrived at the area where the flood is serious, and the two of them directly found the branch of Linglong Pavilion after entering the city.

The shopkeeper here is called Xu Jiang, a native of Jiangcheng, who was able to make a living in front of his family who was originally doing some jade business, and it was the cabinet people who found this person, and he felt that his ability was very good so he was recommended to take charge of the Jiangcheng branch.

Mu Qingge and Leren entered the store with their front feet, and the heavy rain poured on their back feet, standing in the store and watching the heavy rain outside, they finally knew why they would break down so many river embankments.

"Two owners, we boiled hot water for you, boiled ginger soup, drink some to go to the cold!" Xu Jiang bowed to the side and said, "The weather is too humid. ”

Mu Qingge was very happy that Xu Jiang could arrange this, and hurriedly wanted to take a bath with Leren, and when he walked through the courtyard, a maid who did not look like a maid was sent over to wait for the two of them to change clothes.

Soaking in the warm hot water, Mu Qingge felt a lot more comfortable, squinted his eyes and said, "It's so comfortable to be able to take a bath." ”

"Let's go further south from here, and the road will only get harder and harder." Leren soaked in the water and straightened his hair and said, "This hot bath, one less soak." ”
