"Luo Jun? Why are you here too? Kang Damao asked in a low voice, and at this time, Shen Luojun was sitting diagonally opposite him, staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Uncle is targeting our Shen family, the Shen family's business has been hit hard, I am now in charge of the Shen family, of course I want to come." Shen Luojun frowned and said softly.

Oh, Kang Damao suddenly realized that it was Shen Luojun who was now managing the Shen family's business, and it was really difficult for her to come forward on such an occasion.

"Bosses, thank you for taking the time to come over today to discuss disaster relief with the prefect." The prefect walked out of the back of the hall slowly, and as soon as he came out, he clasped his fists and gave salutes to the wealthy business bosses sitting on both sides of the hall.

"Lord Prefect, it should be, it should be." The wealthy business bosses got up one after another to return the salute.

Kang Damao, together with Xiaohua, and Shen Luojun on the opposite side also got up immediately.

It's just that Kang Damao got up and glanced behind the prefect Gao Degui, only to see that Gao Degui was followed by a county magistrate Zhao Hanlin, this guy also colluded with Shen Yuhai to kill him in prison, fortunately Kang Damao had a big life, this Zhao Hanlin was almost dismissed, since the last incident, he has been much more honest, and now he is following the prefect out, don't you want to take the opportunity to make some money and make a fortune?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will say it bluntly, now that the embankment has burst, the people of Zhenjiang Mansion are in trouble, and the government hopes that the bosses will donate generously, and the government will arrange special personnel and special funds to help the affected people." The prefect sat on the throne and said loudly.

"Of course, we have no opinion on helping the people affected by the disaster, but how much silver do we need to donate? Everyone must have a number in their hearts. ”

"Yes! I can still accept some donations, but I can't help if I have more. ”

"The dam collapsed, and hundreds of acres of my family's grain were flooded, and I was also a victim, so I could only make a symbolic donation to show my gratitude."

"Lord Prefect, in fact, it's not easy for everyone, so you can just watch it."

Everyone in the hall was talking nonsense, and to put it bluntly, they refused to bleed, and it was acceptable to donate a little.

"How much money to donate?" Someone asked dryly.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver." Zhao Hanlin, the young county commander, immediately replied, he sneered at these rich businessmen, and they were really a group of iron roosters who were unkind to the rich and did not pull out a hair, but at this moment, it was a special period, so they had no choice but not to pay.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver?" After hearing this, everyone smacked their tongues, how could they need so much?

Kang Damao thought for a moment after hearing this, he sat up straight and asked suspiciously, "May I ask what exactly this silver is going to be used for?" We should always know. ”

"Of course!" Zhao Hanlin walked into the hall from the prefect's Gao Degui as he spoke, and he took out a paper list from his cuff that had been prepared a long time ago, and it was densely filled with words.

Zhao Hanlin began to read aloud under the guidance of noble eyes: "A total of 60,000 taels of silver is needed to settle the people and purchase tents, food, bedding and other materials; To build a dike, 40,000 taels of silver were needed for the subsidy of officers and soldiers; After the disaster, it takes a lot of money to rebuild the house and labor, but of course, the last cost can be left aside for the time being, and only the first two items need to be raised for now. ”

"Huh! I'm sorry, I won't donate a tael of silver. Kang Damao said sarcastically.

"You ......" Zhao Hanlin pointed at Kang Damao angrily, but he swallowed the following words stiffly, because he had already suffered a loss before, this Kang Damao had the support of the inspector behind his back, he couldn't afford to offend, but this guy was too arrogant, he openly provoked the authority of the government, didn't this slap the prefect in the face?

Zhao Hanlin's face was flushed, and he couldn't help but look at the prefect Gao Degui to see what the leader said.

"Boss Kang, what do you mean by that?" Gao Degui narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"Your Excellency, if I remember correctly, building a dam is the unshirkable responsibility of your government, as the so-called raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, do the officers and soldiers have to give them extra silver when they go to repair the embankment? Is this a benefit? Every year, the government treasury has a special allocation for the construction of the embankment, and I would like to ask you where the money goes. Why not take it out? ”

Kang Damao stood up and stared at the prefect Gao Degui in the hall A series of sharp words like cannonballs hit the prefect's Gao Degui's heart fiercely, and at this time, cold sweat broke out on Gao Degui's forehead, Nima, this Kang Damao actually knows so much about the affairs of the government, it is really difficult.

The rest of the wealthy businessmen in the hall felt justified when they heard Kang Damao's words, but this person had such courage at a young age, and dared to challenge the authority of the prefect on the spot, and they couldn't help but glance at him.

Before Gao Degui could explain, Kang Damao looked at the rich businessmen in the hall with his hands behind his back and said: "As far as I know, the above disaster relief funds will be allocated immediately, so it is better for us to be practical, and now the top priority is to settle the affected people, my opinion is to distribute all the affected people equally to each boss, and we are directly responsible for their tents, food, and bedding, what do you think?" ”

"That's a good idea, I support it!" Immediately someone stood up and said.

"Boss Kang is really young and talented, and he has quick thinking, and I support it!"

"Yes, yes, it's better to do good deeds or do it yourself, count me in."

"Rest assured, I will properly resettle the people who have been assigned to them, so that the people affected by the disaster can feel warm."

"I heard that Boss Kang has built a simple shed next to his house, bought bedding, and is still giving porridge to the affected people in the morning, look, this is an example for us to learn, I will go to Boss Kang to learn from you later."

"I support Boss Kang's opinion!"

"I support it too!"

All the bosses present without exception all stood up to support Kang Damao, they are all old foxes in the shopping mall, where do they not know that this is just to relieve the people and not spend so much silver, 100,000 taels of silver The government has to at least swallow most of it, this food is too ugly, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, at this time, Kang Damao takes the lead is naturally a hundred responses.

The prefect Gao Degui sat on the chair and trembled with anger, he looked at Kang Damao, and his eyes showed a hint of gloom: "Boy, you dare to harm my good deeds, I didn't kill you last time, don't let me grab the handle, otherwise you will never recover." ”

Gao Degui sulked in his heart and felt very uncomfortable, Kang Damao said this to make him speechless for a while, originally invited them here to solve the disaster relief matters, but now they took the initiative to help the affected people, but it made it difficult for him to force them to donate all the time.

It's just that these officers and soldiers in the government are fed on weekdays, and now there is no silver subsidy for them to build the embankment, how can they work hard, even if they go, they are just pretending, in case the flood season becomes more serious, then the top will be held responsible, thinking about Gao Yougui, I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and my brain hurts.

At this point, the only way to do this is to settle the affected people first, and finally arrange for the registration of the affected people by Zhao Hanlin, the county commander, as Kang Damao said.

Zhao Hanlin was very depressed, he spent a lot of money to buy this county order, and he was counting on this flood to make a big profit, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by Kang Damao, he looked at Kang Damao and gritted his teeth with hatred.

Looking at the noble prefect again, he is lying on the bed at the moment, with a hot towel on his head, and the lady and concubine beside him are waiting, and he says, "Oops! Ouch! He screamed, looking very painful.

He was completely angry with Kang Damao, on the other hand, he was also distressed about the silver, and he saw that the silver in his hand was gone for tens of thousands of eyes, and he was depressed!

“……”

Kang Damao relieved the affected people at the same time, he also took Erhu and Abao to the riverside embankment to inspect, he was not worried about the ability of this group of officials, if the next dam is not stepped up construction, it is likely to burst the embankment again, if this is the case, the consequences are unimaginable, I am afraid that the entire Zhenjiang Mansion will fall into a vast ocean.

On the embankment, Kang Damao frowned behind his hands, and at this time he happened to meet Shen Luojun, who was also frowning, and she also brought people from the Shen Mansion to inspect the embankment, and the two of them really had a good heart.

Just as Kang Damao sped up his pace and walked towards Shen Luojun, he suddenly felt a violent shaking under his feet, and then a big crack appeared on the bluestone ground.

"Be careful! The levee is going to collapse! Come on! Kang Damao hurriedly shouted, and the next moment, he didn't care about the danger and rushed directly towards Shen Luojun, who was panicked not far away.
