Chapter 40 Rebuilding the Levees
With the moon in the sky and the stars dotting, a busy day is finally coming to an end, and a new day is coming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoTonight is different from the past, the gloom clouds that envelop the whole city seem to have thinned out a lot, and even the cries scattered everywhere have subsided a lot, and it seems that this series of measures has begun to bear fruit.
In the county office, Wen Bin and three county magistrates put forward new ideas on disaster relief. When the sun rises tomorrow, the three county towns that have suffered from flooding will be given new life.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The second batch of relief grain will arrive tomorrow, and when the grain arrives, Benhou will order people to send the grain to the counties overnight. Wen Bin held the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and waited for the tea to slide into his stomach before speaking.
"Thank you Wenhou!" The three county commanders said in unison.
"The army escorting the relief food is the Praetorian Guard, and they will stay in Lizhou for the time being. When the Praetorian Guards arrive in the counties, you will arrange for officials to go with them to other places to buy grain, and the Praetorian Guards will guard the grain, and I believe that there will be no problems! ”
"Praetorian Guard? Staying in Lizhou? Gu Xian Ling was stunned when he heard this, and then blurted out.
"Gu County order, the Praetorian Guard will be temporarily stationed in various places to assist you and others in relieving the victims."
At this time, Guo Xianling opened his mouth and said: "The next official receives the order!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the other two county magistrates also hurriedly echoed them.
"After the Praetorian Guards arrived in Licheng, they will transport the relief grain to the counties according to the ratio just mentioned. Now, it's up to you! ”
"The subordinate officer receives the order!" The three county commanders said in unison.
"All right, go down and rest! Hurry back to their respective county offices early tomorrow morning, without delay! Wen Bin stretched and said a little tiredly.
"Retire!"
After saying that, the three county commanders withdrew from the hall and stopped after walking a short distance. At this time, Deng County Ling said: "Two colleagues, please go to the residence with a certain person." This way, please! ”
Hearing this, Guo Xianling waved his hand, first looked up at the sky, and then looked at Deng Xianling, and said, "Thank you Deng County!" There is an urgent matter, it is inconvenient to stay longer, and I want to return to Dongjing County overnight. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope that Deng County Ling Haihan! ”
"Guo County's order is serious, since Guo County's order is anxious to manage the victims, it is inconvenient to force him to stay. Send Guo County Order first, Gu County Order, please wait a while! ”
Hearing Guo County's words, Gu County's order first glared at the former fiercely, and then heard what Deng County's order said, at this time, whether he wanted to or not, he could only say: "Thank you Deng County, so-and-so will return to Guanglu County overnight!" ”
"This ...... That's it! Send two county orders! ”
Not long after, the two county commanders, together with their respective retinues, left the county government at the same time, and after parting at the city gate, the two groups of people rushed away in two directions.
The next day, Wen Bin crouched in front of the bookcase, writing hard, the handwriting of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing jumped on the paper, and after a while, a letter was completed. Fu Xuelan took out the seal ribbon and covered it at the place where it was registered, and then put away the letterhead and sealed it with fire paint.
Fu Xuelan placed the letter in the corner of the bookcase, juxtaposing it with another letter. At this time, Fu Xuelan asked: "The disaster relief food arrived in Licheng today, didn't Gongzi go there in person?" ”
"Huh! If I go in person, I will definitely have a head-on conflict with Bai Zongwu, and it is not yet time! During this time, I stayed in Changyun, Guanglu, and Dongjing counties, on the one hand, to supervise officials for disaster relief, and on the other hand, to collect criminal evidence. If you meet too early, if there is a conflict, it will have a detrimental effect on the collection of incriminating evidence in the future! ”
"Hee-hee! Sometimes the slave family always thinks again, why is the son-in-law described by the sister of the Zhou family so different from the son-in-law I know? Hey, having said that, there is still one thing in common, that is, I am more afraid of women. Haha......"
As she spoke, Fu Xuelan laughed, and Wen Bin could only shake his head and smile bitterly with the trembling appearance of the flowers and branches.
"What a surprise this is! Everyone is transformed after going through a tribulation, but my transformation is a bit big! ”
"Uh-huh! Childe is right! ”
At this moment, a soldier walked into the inner room, first gave a military salute, and then said respectfully: "Wenhou, Deng County Order asks to see!" ”
"Exactly! Let him in! After saying this, Wen Bin glanced at Fu Xuelan, then got up and walked towards the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Wen Bin found that there was more than one person coming, in addition to Deng County's order, there were also officials from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Metropolitan Water Supervision and several officials from Lizhou, and Zheng Xiaowei was also present.
As soon as Wen Bin's figure appeared in the hall, all the officials bowed their hands and said in unison: "I've seen Wen Hou!" ”
"Colleagues, don't be polite!"
"Thanks! Wenhou! ”
Wen Bin walked towards the main seat in the house, and as soon as he sat down, he said, "Jiang Yuanwailang, what have you found in the past two days?" ”
"Returning to Wenhou! In this flood, Changyun County was severely affected, most of the houses in the village collapsed, the fertile land was destroyed, and many people were displaced, and the people were struggling to make a living. After going to the rest of the county, the officials will report the details to the household department, hoping to allocate relief food again. ”
"Good! The specific itinerary is arranged by Jiang Yuanwailang himself, and there is no need to tell Benhou! ”
"The subordinate officer receives the order!"
At this time, Wen Bin looked at the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Capital Water Supervisor, and was just about to ask questions, but Chang Zhijie, a member of the Ministry of Industry, preemptively said: "Return to Wenhou!" Xia Guan and Cai Jiancheng had discussed with Lizhou officials that the embankment would be rebuilt in the near future after today's on-site survey. Please rest assured! ”
"There must be no delay! The sooner the better! ”
"The subordinate commands! Today, I have heard what Deng County ordered to say, and it is really ingenious to use work for relief. Xia Guan, Cai Jiancheng and his subordinate officials will speed up the survey and strive to rebuild the embankment as soon as possible. ”
Cai Jiancheng on the side also agreed, and then Chang Zhijie's words, said: "Please rest assured Wenhou!" ”
"Not only to speed things up, but also to make sure that the levees are rebuilt to withstand the floods! This kind of human tragedy should not happen again in the future! Do you understand? Wen Bin sat up straight and said with a serious face.
"Xia Guan understands!"
"Xia Guan understands! Absolutely not! ”
One after the other, the two voices expressed their positions one after another, and at this point, Wen Bin's expression eased, and there was a smile on his face. Because Wen Bin kept a cold face, all the officials were trembling, and they even spoke carefully, for fear of annoying Wen Bin.
Before the officials could breathe a sigh of relief, Wen Bin's next sentence lifted their hearts again.
"The silver taels spent on rebuilding the levee must be seen by the Hou! Remember! The accounts must be clear and clear, and Benhou will check them at any time! Chang Wai Lang and Cai Jian Cheng, this is the case, you go to the rest of the county quickly. There must be no delay in rebuilding the embankment! ”
"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Everyone said in unison.
"Is there anything else?"
Hearing what Wen Bin said, all the officials were silent, you look at me, I look at you, and after a while, Deng Xian Ling said: "There is no other matter for the time being, if Wen Hou has no other instructions, then I will retire first!" ”
"Okay, you can all stand down. Captain Zheng stays! ”
"Order!"
"Retire!"
After speaking, except for Zheng Xiaowei, the other officials left the hall one after another, and two Lizhou officials glanced at Zheng Xiaowei, and then quickly withdrew their gaze and left with everyone.
"Captain Zheng, wait a moment!"
Without waiting for Captain Zheng to reply, Wen Bin turned around and walked towards the inner room, and after a while, he walked out of the inner room with two letters in his hand.
"Arrange for a soldier to go to Licheng immediately and hand over these two letters to General Huang Lang and Bai Envoy Jun respectively!"
"Order!"
