"Lord Futai is wise!" Li Chengen said respectfully. I can't help but secretly rejoice in my heart, now you have no way! Now I know that this governor of Shandong is not so easy to be! You are still only the acting governor, if the disaster relief is not done well, will the emperor still let you stay in this position? It's better to go back and forth from here, this is not the place for you.

Ren Chao was also helpless in his heart, and asked for support from other provinces, it was all about face, because they did not have this obligation, even if the emperor decreed, if the governors of various places were unwilling to support, they could find countless reasons to shirk. As for face, does Ren Chao have it? Among the governors in various places, there is only one who has some friendship with Ren Chao, and that is Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, but now Li Hongzhang is still waiting for the support of others? It's hard to protect yourself, where is there still leisure to take care of him!

The current situation, disaster relief, is imminent, and for Ren Chao, it is also a combination of challenges and opportunities. If the disaster relief thing is not done well, then needless to say, Ren Chao is nine out of ten rushing back and forth. There are many patients with pink eye in the middle of the court, who are looking at Ren Chao unpleasantly! But if you do a good job, the harvest is undoubtedly very rich, not to mention that you can take off the two words acting on your head lightly. Let's just say that if Ren Chao helps the people of Shandong to overcome this difficulty, he will inevitably be loved by the people, and the experience and lessons of history tell us that it is very important to gain the support of the people, and then Ren Chao will really gain a firm foothold in the land of Shandong.

Bastard, don't make trouble sooner or later. It's just a disaster at this time, it's a bastard! The most annoying thing is, of course, the little devils, after these dogs landed in Jiaodong, they hit all the way to Beijing. Shandong, Zhili and other places that they passed through were all disaster-stricken areas without exception, and in order to reduce the logistical pressure, these little devils adopted the strategy of requisitioning grain and grass on the spot. I can only survive on grass roots and bark. Now that spring has just begun, I just want to eat some wild vegetables, leaves and the like are extravagant hopes, and thinking of these Ren Chao's hatred for the little devil has deepened a little.

If it's someone else. Faced with such a situation, it is indeed helpless. It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! But Ren Chao is not an ordinary person. Ren Chao secretly made up his mind, "Notify the affected areas and make every effort to help the victims." How much grain is in the warehouse, all of it will be distributed to the victims, and we will talk about it after this while. ”

"But there is not much grain in one place, I'm afraid it won't last much, and Lord Futai led 20,000 tiger troops into Shandong, and these 20,000 troops will consume a lot of military food every day." Li Chengen lowered his head and whispered.

"You don't have to worry about the military rations, I have my own way to solve it. Before the official first came to Shandong, he had already heard that Shandong and other places were affected by the disaster, so he ordered people to raise grain and grass at that time, and it was estimated that it would not be long before this batch of grain should arrive, and by that time not only the military rations could be solved, but also the surplus grain could be used to help the victims. Ren Chao waved his hand and said impatiently, Ren Chao was a little upset at this time, so much so that he was very unhappy when he looked at the long-winded Li Chengen in front of him.

Li Chengen secretly pondered Ren Chao's words, thinking that Ren Chao was just pretending to be calm and bragging! Where can you go to raise food. There is only one place that Lee Seung-eun can think of, and that is North Korea, which is the place where Ren Chao made his fortune, and it is said that he has a good relationship with the North Korean royal family. But North Korea is a small country and a weak people, in the past two years, the Donghak Party first rebelled, and then the little devils invaded, and the soldiers were in trouble, and the North Koreans themselves may not have enough food to eat, do they still have the strength to support you? Unless Ren Chao directly robs it, the Tiger Army still has a large army stationed in North Korea, and it is a good idea to send troops to rob it, but if this is really the case, your Ren Chao's sin will be even greater, thinking of these Li Chengen couldn't help but be secretly proud.

"Lord Futai, Namitsu Munemitsu has sent someone to ask when the negotiations can officially begin." The disaster relief can only be done temporarily, Li Chengen remembered another thing, that Mutsu Zongguang has been hung by Ren Chao for several days, this Ren Chao is really bold, is he really not afraid of the court's blame.

"Oh! That Mutsu Munemitsu is pretty honest these days, right? Ren Chao asked casually.

"I'm very honest, I stay in the post house honestly all day long, and I don't even go out of the door." Lee Seung-eun replied with a smile.

"That's it! For his sake, he's still honest. You send someone to inform him that the negotiations will start in three days, where will the negotiations be? It is set in the Yamen of the General Army of Jiaoao Town. Ren Chao thought about it and ordered.

"Three days later? Jiaoao Town's General Soldier Yamen? When Li Chengen heard this, a series of question marks couldn't help but appear above his head, and after three days, forget it, why did this negotiation place go to Jiaoao Town? The two of you are obviously in Jinan, why do you have to go to Jiaoao, which is hundreds of miles away, to negotiate?

"That's right, it's three days later in the Yamen of the General Army in Jiaoao Town! The official just had some things to go to Jiaoao to deal with, and it would have to be delayed for a few days, but the negotiation could no longer be delayed. Ren Chao replied casually.

Li Chengen was speechless for a while, and you old man also know that this negotiation cannot be delayed, so you have dragged it out for so long.

"In the past few days since I left, the affairs on the side of the governor's yamen have been a lot of trouble for Lord Lao Fantai, and there is anything I can discuss with Lord Zhentai. However, disaster relief is urgent, and it must be stepped up. Ren Chao commanded casually.

"Xiaguan has the courage to ask Lord Futai, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there is no food, how do you let Xiaguan help the victims?" Li Chengen couldn't help but feel a burst of annoyance in his heart, as soon as your upper lip touched your lower lip, it was over, and you shook your hand and became the big shopkeeper, and handed over everything to me, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world. As for what happened to Ren Chao in Jiaoao, Li Chengen didn't ask much about this, guessing that most of the military affairs of the Tiger Ben Army needed to be dealt with.

"Didn't I just say that? The official had already sent people to collect grain and grass, and this time he went to Jiaoao to receive grain. Rest assured, in as little as 10 days or as long as half a month, the grain will be transported to the disaster areas. The grain in the treasury can't be sustained for even ten days and a half months! Ren Chao said impatiently.

Ten days and a half months, what a big breath, when the time comes, I'll see how you can conjure up food. Li Chengen secretly said in his heart, but on the surface, he said extremely respectfully, "In this case, the lower officials are here to wait for Lord Futai's good news." Don't worry, my lord, I and Lord Xu will take care of some trivial matters, if we encounter some urgent matters, we will send a telegram to ask your adult for instructions. ”

"With Lord Li and Lord Xu here, the official is naturally relieved." Ren Chao nodded and said. (To be continued......)
