Chapter 129: The Strong Dragon Cannot Suppress the Earth Snake
Hearing the shouts from the next person, Chen Fuchen and Li Xiquan were all startled, Li Xiquan stopped the chopsticks in his hand, looked at the few people around him with a dull face, and said blankly: "Did I hear it wrong?" The princess and the colt arrived? How is this possible? ”
"I heard the shouting, too, as if it was exactly what it said." Liu Xian glanced at Chen Fuchen with a wine glass: "Brother Fuchen, shouldn't the princess and the concubine be on the road at this moment?" How did they get here? ”
"It's only been less than a month since they left the imperial capital, how could they come here? Unless they travel non-stop day and night. Speaking of this, Ji Siming frowned: "If they really come, it will be troublesome." ”
"It's not just a trouble, it's a big trouble, I've been patronizing the winter heating coal recently, and I haven't got anything in the disaster area, if the princess and the concubine find out that I take the opportunity to monopolize the price of coal, they will definitely punish me." Wang Jisheng, the governor of Dingbi Province, stood up with a nervous face.
"Brothers, don't be impatient, let me ask what's going on?" Just as Chen Fuchen was about to call the housekeeper over to inquire about the passage, suddenly, Ling Xia, Xia Ning'er, Situ Chenfeng and others entered the banquet hall accompanied by dozens of soldiers.
Everyone had seen the portraits of Ling Xia and Xia Ning'er before, so they knew the two, and when they saw the princess and the concubine suddenly attacking, all the governors and envoys of He Bu did not come back to their senses, and their eyes showed surprise and shock: "Oh my God, the princess and the concubine are really here, and the other Qincha are still on the way, how can they have already arrived?" ”
"What are you doing in a daze? How? Don't know us? With a cold snort, Xia Ning'er took out the appointment order issued by the Ministry of Officials, and then she took out the seal and token of the Governor of the Territory: "This is issued by the Ministry of Officials, you can check it." ”
"Wechen doesn't dare." He said that he didn't dare, but Chen Fuchen took the appointment order, took the seal and token of the governor of the territory, carefully examined it, and made sure that it was correct, and Chen Fuchen transferred these to other governors and political envoys to watch.
There were about two more teas, everyone had read the formalities, and after determining the identities of Ling Xia and the others, Chen Fuchen returned the appointment order and other formalities to Ling Xia, and then, Chen Fuchen led everyone to salute Ling Xia and Xia Ning'er, shouting:
"Chen Fuchen, the governor of Dingyi Province, led the governors and political envoys of the ten provinces of Ziyanjiang to welcome the princess and the concubine, and the ministers congratulated the concubine on his promotion to the position of governor of Ziyanjiang, and congratulated the princess on temporarily acting as the governor of Ziyanjiang.
After receiving the will of the imperial court, the ministers thought that the princess and the horse would take three or four months to take office, but they never thought that the princess and the horse had come here in less than a month. ”
"Forgiveness? Are you so kind that I can forgive you for your sins? Xia Ning'er glanced at the adults around her, pointed to the dishes on the table around her, and scolded everyone angrily: "Your lords eat very well."
These dishes are not much better than the dishes in the imperial dining room in the palace, you are really good, the victims outside are freezing to death, and many people can't even drink porridge, but you are enjoying the delicacies of the mountains and seas here, are you worthy of the official uniform on your body? ”
"The princess said this wrongly, and entered Weichen to invite the governors of the provinces and the political envoys to discuss the disaster relief, and discuss whether it is okay to get a few dishes when you are tired? What law does the imperial court have that says that the governor can't eat something good when discussing government affairs? ”
The people present were all some old treacherous and cunning people, seeing that he was arrested, Chen Fuchen was a little flustered, and then he regained his composure, and in the face of Xia Ning'er's questioning, the old guy refuted it unhurriedly.
"Talking about disaster relief?" Xia Ning'er looked at Chen Fuchen with a cold look in her eyes, and asked him in a cold tone: "You said that you called these people to discuss disaster relief, then you should tell me, how is the discussion?" ”
Looking at Xia Ning'er's sharp and cold eyes, Chen Fuchen raised his head and looked at her without evasion, feeling the bursts of evil aura exuded by Xia Ning'er's body, Chen Fuchen replied with a righteous face: "The discussion was very successful.
Although our Dingyi Province has not been affected, but the princess can go out to see, we have placed many victims from other provinces here, today, Weichen and the other three provinces that have not been affected by the disaster have reached an agreement, and our four provinces will accept the victims within the territory at the same time.
At present, only the affected provinces have set up relief points for disaster victims, and food and clothing are distributed regularly, and in the next step, our provinces will also build disaster relief stations, and camp tents, cotton clothes, food, and herbs have all been prepared, and they can be used in batches later. ”
Seeing Chen Fuchen standing opposite Xia Ning'er and talking, not only Xia Ning'er was angry, but even Ling Xia and Situ Chenfeng were all angry, Ling Xia looked around, smelling the smell of wine in the air, his brows furrowed even tighter:
"Now that we're talking about the disaster relief stations, the princess just happened to be like the six governors and political envoys of the disaster-stricken provinces to understand the situation, how many disaster-stricken relief stations have been set up in each disaster-stricken province? How many people have been resettled so far? ”
"This ......" Chen Fuchen glanced at the people left and right, and then replied ambiguously: "Since receiving the princess's order, we have begun to arrange disaster relief matters, and at present, aid stations have spread all over the province.
During this time, the provincial yamen allocated a huge amount of money to the various affected government and county governments to properly resettle the victims in their respective jurisdictions, but their mobility was too great to be counted for a while. ”
"Huge sums of money?" After hearing this word, Ling Xia asked pointedly: "I don't know how much money has been allocated for disaster relief?" Is the money allocated enough to apply for a part of the disaster relief funds from the princess? ”
"Oh?" Hearing Ling Xia say this, Chen Fuchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and after Ling Xia's reminder, they remembered one thing, that is, the princess is the emperor's daughter, if she opens her mouth to apply for disaster relief funds for the emperor, the court will definitely allocate it.
Thinking of this, Liu Xia and the others showed a hint of joy on their faces, different from the others, hearing Ling Xia's words, Chen Fuchen first had a smile on his face, and then showed a trace of solemnity, thinking of Ling Xia and Xia Ning'er's expressions when they entered the door, what did Chen Fuchen guess?
Just when Chen Fuchen just wanted to refuse to apply for disaster relief funds from the imperial court, Liu Xian took the lead to speak: "What the horse said is very true, and now a few of us have tried our best to smash pots and sell iron in order to relieve the victims."
But there are too many people affected by the disaster this time, and the funds we have allocated are no longer working, if the princess can apply to the court for disaster relief funds, it would be great, Weichen thanked the princess on behalf of all the people affected by the disaster. ”
After listening to Liu Xian's words, Chen Fuchen suddenly secretly said in his heart: "Oops, it's troublesome." ”
