Chapter 32 Disaster Relief Measures
Last night's Wen Bin and today's Wen Bin are like two people, for Deng County Order, the former one drank and talked with all the officials at the dinner, looking like a fellow person, but the latter was furious in the conference hall, and he wanted to severely punish himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The other party is the Marquis of Yixian, and he is also an observer of the northern territory, no matter what kind of identity, he can't afford to provoke him.
Whether this matter is big or small, it depends on how Deng County Ling decides. What is most lacking in the city right now? Definitely the first to recommend food! In that case, let's take out some food and make up for it! Even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it at this time.
I have to say that Deng Xianling is worthy of being in the officialdom for many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions is really good, and he grasps the core of the problem at once. Sure enough, when Deng County's order was finished, a surprised voice sounded.
"Haha! That's great! Deng County order, please get up quickly! What a good ruler you are for the people! After returning from Licheng, despite the fatigue of the carriages and horses, he sought food from the grain merchants for the hungry people. Ben Hou blames you, I hope you will forgive me! Wen Bin stood up suddenly, walked in front of Deng Xianling in three or two steps, stretched out his hand to help the latter up, and then smiled.
"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! Duty! Duty! Deng Xianling stood up, ignoring the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said again and again.
"Hey! Why not? That's the case! Deng County Order, please be seated! ”
"The subordinate officer receives the order!"
With that, the two of them returned to their seats. The scene that happened just now all fell into the eyes of the rest of the Changyun County officials, and at this point, they all put away their contempt and felt that the person in front of them was unfathomable.
At this moment, Captain Zheng walked into the conference hall, strode towards Wen Bin, and after a while, said respectfully: "Wen Hou! All the soldiers have been properly settled! ”
"Good! Find a place to sit and rest! ”
"Order!" After speaking, Captain Zheng found an empty position, then sat down, and looked around with a pair of tiger eyes.
"Deng County Order? Deng County Order! ”
"Ahh Wenhou, please speak! Perhaps because of the blow, Deng Xianling was a little stunned at the moment, so that he didn't hear Wen Bin's first call, and he didn't come back to his senses until the second call came.
"Deng County's order reminded Ben Hou that tomorrow all the people in charge of the big families in the city will come to the county government to gather, and Ben Hou will discuss the donation! Well, it's tomorrow! As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Xianling's face suddenly became a little ugly, and his annoyed eyes flashed in his eyes.
"Next...... The next officer receives the order! ”
"After all, the food allocated by the imperial court is not enough, we have to find a way to solve it ourselves! When you go to other places to buy food, it is not enough to donate! Deng County Order, how is the income this year? ”
"Returning to Wenhou! This year......" Deng Xianling had just opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Wen Bin waving his hand, and the rest of the words could not be continued.
"Forget it, you don't have to report it! See for myself! Deng County ordered that all the account books of the year's income and income should be handed over to Ben Hou, and Ben Hou would see where he could embezzle silver taels and use them to buy grain. If you have any questions, you will inform Deng County Order! Wen Bin waved his hand to interrupt Deng Xianling's speech, and then said solemnly.
As soon as these words came out, the officials of Changyun County all stood up, and for a moment the hall fell into a tense atmosphere, Zeng Chen and the others quietly stretched out their hands to the horizontal knife on their waists.
"What? Isn't it possible? Wen Bin sat up straight, his face was fearless, he glanced at the officials, and said loudly.
"Wen Hou is serious! Of course! If you have any questions, just come to the lower officials and ask. The county commander Deng moved forward deeply, and the rest of the officials followed.
"That's good! That's it! Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated! Ben Hou still has important things to discuss! ”
"Wenhou, please speak!" When all the officials heard this, they all sat down, and all of them had bad faces. Even though Deng Xianling was secretly scolding in his heart, he could only suppress his anger at this time and said respectfully on the surface.
"Deng County Order, can you know which states and counties the victims mainly go to?"
"Returning to Wenhou! There are many people in the disaster, and Lizhou is overwhelmed! Many of the victims had no choice but to leave Lizhou and go to neighboring prefectures and counties. Among them, the most victims were in the direction of Langyue Erzhou, nearly eight or nine out of ten! ”
"Oh! Ben Hou knows! Captain Zheng, I will arrange for a few soldiers to take my handwritten letter to Langyue Erzhou later, and submit the handwritten letter to the envoy of Erzhou. Wen Bin nodded after listening to what Deng County ordered to say, then turned to face Captain Zheng and said solemnly.
"Order!"
When Deng Xianling heard this, he was a little puzzled, but he still suppressed his doubts and did not ask Wen Bin in person.
Deng County's expression changed, and all of them were under Wen Bin's eyes, so Wen Bin said with a smile: "Ben Hou ordered the envoys of the two states to build a porridge shed, and only need to cook some gruel every day to relieve the victims, and there is no need to distribute food. ”
After hearing this, Deng Xianling was even more puzzled, and hurriedly said, "Why is this?" ”
"If food is distributed widely, then all the displaced people will definitely flock to it, and then these states and counties will inevitably be eaten by the disaster victims! Once the famine spreads, the north is in danger! ”
Hearing this, Deng Xianling suddenly realized, and said with emotion: "What Wenhou thinks about is very thorough!" I don't know what other disaster relief strategies Wenhou has? ”
"There is a shortage of food in Lizhou, and when the second batch of relief food arrives, it does not have to be distributed to the victims. Like Langyue Erzhou, build a porridge shed and cook some gruel to relieve the victims. Only in this way can the effectiveness of the second batch of relief food be maximized! ”
"Xiaguan will start arranging it tomorrow!"
"After all, there is not enough food for disaster relief! We will take part of the annual income and the donated silver taels to other places to buy food, and this part of the food does not have to be used for disaster relief. Well...... It's sold at half price! The silver taels obtained are then sent to other places to buy grain, and this is the cycle! By then, the price of food in the city will surely drop considerably. Deng County Order, you said yes, right? After Wen Bin finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Deng Xianling.
"That's a great way! That's a great way! ”
I don't know when it started, a lot of beads of sweat appeared on Deng Xianling's forehead, I don't know if it was because he heard Wen Bin's words, or because there was a ghost in his heart, and the whole person seemed to be panicked. Not only did Deng County Ling have this kind of performance, but also other officials in Changyun County.
Don't do bad things, don't knock on the door! Now that the ghosts have come to the door, it's up to them to see if they can hold on! Since the officials of Changyun County dare to be greedy for ink and silver and fill their pockets, they will definitely be fully prepared. However, some things can be hidden if you don't plan carefully!
Changyun County's annual income and annual account books are about to fall into Wen Bin's hands, if there is any omission in this, then the consequences will be ...... Thinking of this, all the officials couldn't sit still, and they were all sweating.
Although Wen Bin saw all the performances of these officials, Wen Bin didn't say much, just snorted coldly in his heart. After a while, he continued: "Deng County Order! ”
"Xiaguan is here! What did Wen Hou command? Deng Xianling was shocked when he heard this, and almost jumped up, and only after his mind calmed down did he ask.
"Tomorrow you will arrange for the officials to post notices everywhere saying that the county government will pay for the repair of buildings, walls, roads, embankments, and so on that have been damaged by the floods. Now there is a need for a large number of victims, and wages are paid daily. The content of the notice does not have to be exactly as Benhou said, and it is up to you to decide how to polish it. Deng County order, if you want to solve this crisis, you must use work for relief! ”
"Cash-for-work?"
