Steward Li has already prepared a hundred stone of grain. Liu Yu took Dian Wei and a group of guards and these grains to Bo County. Most of the guards were the ones Liu Yu brought back from Bo County last time, and they were also anxious when they heard that their hometown had been affected. Liu Yu decided to go to Bo County for disaster relief, which moved the guards very much, thinking that they had followed the right master, and were more willing to die for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu and his gang hurried to get to Bo County. Along the way, Liu Yu found that the drought was very serious, and from time to time he saw some victims begging for food. Liu Yu is also sad, there are so many victims in Bo County alone, so there are more people suffering in other places.

Liu Yu came to the Bo County Governor's Office, and saw a group of people waiting for Liu Yu at the door from a distance, probably a new county magistrate. After seeing Liu Yu coming, the young man led by him greeted him.

The young man bowed to Liu Yu and said, "Xiaguan Bo County Commander Chen Gong Chen Gongtai, see Bo Hou." ”

Liu Yu was also shocked when he heard Chen Gong's name. This product will be Lu Bu's military advisor in the future, and he will be a celebrity again. couldn't help but glance at Chen Gong a few more times, and said, "Chen Gong? Are you the new Bo County Magistrate? ”

"It's Xia Guan. On behalf of the people of the county, the lower officials thanked Hou Ye for his great kindness. Chen Gong knelt down and bowed.

Originally, Chen Gong was going to take office in other counties, but the former Bo County Commander was beheaded, and the position of the Bo County Commander was vacant, and at the same time, it also left a mess. Most of the scholars were reluctant to go to Bo County to take over such a mess. But the position of this county magistrate could not be vacant all the time, and in the end, the ministers transferred Chen Gong, who was originally going to serve in other places, to Bo County. Chen Gong didn't know the details, so he happily went to work. When I arrived in Bo County, I realized what kind of mess I had taken over. In desperation, Chen Gong sent his master to discuss with Liu Yu about exempting from taxes. In fact, Chen Gong did not have much hope that he could be exempted from paying taxes. Chen Gong heard that Marquis Liu's reputation was not very good, and he also had the title of the first villain in Luoyang, so he only asked Marquis Liu to be kind and reduce some of it. But the master came back and reported that the Hou Ye not only exempted Bo County from taxes, but also purchased a batch of grain tomorrow to relieve the disaster. Hearing the news, Chen Gong was overjoyed, and kept sighing that Hou Ye Liu was a good Hou Ye.

"Get up, Bo County is the fiefdom of Benhou, and now that Bo County is affected by the disaster, it is the responsibility of Benhou to help the people. You're doing a good job. Liu Yu said. Tell me what the current situation is in Bo County, and if there is anything that Ben Hou needs to do. ”

"Master Hou, due to the effective handling, the local people in Bo County have been resettled. It's just that the drought is still there, and the lower officials are preparing to build water conservancy and find new water sources. Chen Gong briefly told Liu Yu about the situation in Bo County. Because Liu Yu has no actual jurisdiction, Chen Gong will not say too much detail to Liu Yu.

"Have all the victims been settled? But on the way to Bo County, why did Benhou find that many people who had been affected by the disaster were begging for food? Are you deceiving Benhou? Liu Yu's eyes widened, a little suspicious of Chen Gong's words.

"Master Hou, the local people have indeed been properly settled. Affected people from other counties have come to Bo County to beg for food. Other counties have also been affected by the drought, and people are begging for food when they can't survive in the local area. Chen Gong also knew that Liu Yu suspected that he had told a lie, so he explained.

Refugee. The word came to Liu Yu's mind.

"Then why not give relief to these victims? Do you know how many people will starve to death if left unchecked? Liu Yu asked anxiously.

"Master Hou doesn't know. It's not that the lower officials don't give relief to the victims, but they have other grievances. The money and food in the hands of the lower officials are insufficient, and the victims in Bo County are also huge, so they are simply not enough to deal with it. If they rashly give relief to other victims, the money and food will be even more insufficient, and more people will be attracted to come to Bo County to beg for food. At that time, it would be difficult for the officials to escape the punishment of the imperial court. Chen Gong said.

"Master Hou, there has been no starvation of people in Bo County since the disaster, and thanks to the dispatch of the county order, the adults have not rested for two days." The master next to him, Chen An, explained to Chen Gong.

When Liu Yu heard this, he found that Chen Gong's face was relatively haggard, obviously because he hadn't rested enough recently, and he couldn't help nodding in his heart.

Migrant food is a disaster relief method in which the imperial court organizes people affected by disasters to go to areas with relatively good conditions to eat, which is more common after the Han and Wei dynasties. However, if local officials rush to give money without receiving an order from the imperial court, they will be punished by the imperial court. Chen Gong, as a well-known strategist, often sees things more clearly and thoroughly than ordinary people.

"Even so, seeing the people suffering, Ben Hou is tormented." Although Chen Gong was right, Liu Yu felt very uncomfortable. The current Liu Yu has no right to interfere in this matter at all, and the imperial court is very strict.

"Lord Hou Rende, in this case, the official has reported to Lord Taishou, presumably the imperial court will deal with it properly." Chen Gong comforted Liu Yudao.

"I hope the imperial court can deal with it as soon as possible." Liu Yu doesn't have much hope for the current imperial court, ministers, relatives, and eunuchs are all busy fighting for power and profit, where can they care about the lives of the people.

"Let's take Benhou to see the place where the victims are settled." Liu Yu said.

"Okay, Master Hou, please here." Chen Gong agreed. took Liu Yu to the place where the victims were settled.
