Lin Nguyen began his days as acting prefect.

Seriously, Lin Ruan has no interest in being an official.

The job of being an official is really not done by people, especially being a good official, which is simply like treating people as animals.

Xuanhe Mansion was made into a miasma by that group of dog officials, a huge mansion city, a land of fish and rice, and there was only less than 1,000 taels of silver in the public account, can you believe it?

When Lin Ruan saw the account books and the silver in the treasury, his brain was buzzing.

The courage of this group of corrupt officials is inevitably too great, and they are so thoroughly greedy!

This is an attempt to use the name of drought to turn all the money in the account into public and private!

With less than a thousand taels of silver, what can she do?

Because of long-term malnutrition, many of the people of Xuanhe Mansion have become ill, and the silver in the hands of the people has been emptied of food by those dog officials and traitors before. I don't have any money to see a doctor.

Lin Ruan really couldn't do it, so he had to take a bag of pearls, sit on the golden eagle and go to other prefectures to exchange for silver, and then bought medicinal materials, and came back to ask Langzhong in Fucheng to treat the people, and the medicinal materials were distributed for free.

Those people who were seriously ill and almost waiting to die received the medicine, and thanked Lin Ruan Qianen.

Lin Ruan's heart felt a little better.

Well, just spend money to buy a good reputation.

I hope that God will let her live a few more years because she has done so many good deeds.

When Lin Ruan was busy in Xuanhe Mansion, her recital was also handed to the emperor's desk.

Although Xuanhe Mansion is far away from Kyoto, there is a special channel for sending the music fold, and it can be delivered to Kyoto in only half a month.

When the emperor finished reading the recital, he couldn't help but slap the table and said angrily: "Bold! ”

The next morning, the emperor took Lin Ruan's recital to the court, and read the contents of the recital in front of the civil and military officials.

Then he said angrily: "My Great Zhou Dynasty encountered a great drought once in a hundred years, and the whole court tried every possible way to provide disaster relief and save the people from fire and water. As a daughter, the county lord of Fuyou went to Lingnan twice to find food and solve the livelihood problems of the victims. As a result, this is the official of my Great Zhou, this is the parent official of the people! Nearly 100,000 stone of grain was divided and swallowed by them like this! If it weren't for the fact that Fuyou found out that it was wrong when he sent the grain for the second time, wouldn't all the millions of people in my Xuanhe Mansion be forced to death by them! ”

Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon's body." ”

How the emperor calmed down.

If Lin Ruan hadn't discovered this matter in time, I don't know how terrible it would have become.

The people in the entire Xuanhe Mansion were starved to death by tens of thousands!

10,000 living lives!

The emperor angrily ordered: "Wang Yuwen and a group of officials of Xuanhe Mansion deceived and concealed their superiors, colluded with grain merchants, and secretly embezzled and sold disaster relief grain, resulting in more than 10,000 deaths and injuries among the people of Xuanhe Mansion, and the crime is unforgivable." All the officials involved in the case were executed in order to set an example! All the official women are filled into the music square, and the men are assigned to the frontier! The grain merchants involved in the case found out the family forces behind them, and they were all imprisoned, and all their property was confiscated after the autumn! ”

Above the court, no one dared to raise half a word of objection.

Doing things on disaster relief food is touching the emperor's scales, who dares to persuade the emperor to think twice?

After the matter was completed, the emperor asked the ministers to nominate candidates to serve as the prefect of Xuanhe Prefecture and the officials of the same office.

Now the courtiers are like chickens, each recommending a candidate in their own forces.

The emperor looked at the faces of these courtiers and felt a little bored in his heart, so he said: "The people of Xuanhe Mansion have experienced this heavy blow this time, and the officials who take over must ensure that within one year, the Xuanhe Mansion will be restored, and within two years, the total population of Xuanhe Mansion will rise to the number of people before the disaster, and the people in the jurisdiction will live and work in peace and contentment!" If you can't do it, come and see you! ”

At this moment, the enthusiasm of the courtiers was immediately less than before.

These requirements of the emperor seem to be not difficult, but it is not easy to do them.

Who knows how long this drought will last, and if it doesn't get better next year?

The emperor sneered: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as the daughter of the county lord of Fuyou!" With her own efforts, she raised 2 million stone of grain for the five disaster-stricken provinces, relieved the urgent needs of the imperial court, and saved tens of millions of people from displacement. She can do such a difficult thing, let you govern a Xuanhe Mansion, you are so unsure? ”

At this moment, the crown prince stood up: "Father, there is a candidate here." Although he is still young, this person is brave and skilled enough, and Erchen thinks that he can be the prefect of Xuanhe Mansion. ”

The Emperor asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

The prince said seriously: "This person is Chen Changhai, the governor of Qingzhou, and when his son was in Huaiyang Mansion, he had many contacts with him, and he appreciated his ability very much. And he has a good relationship with the county lord of Fuyou, and many of the concepts of the county lord of Fuyou are the same, and he should be easily recognized by the people of Xuanhe if he is the prefect of Xuanhe Prefecture. In addition, he has considerable experience in sweet potato cultivation and is the perfect person to be responsible for promoting sweet potatoes to other provinces. ”

The emperor was also a little impressed by this Chen Zhizhou, and was about to nod his head in agreement, when a minister jumped out next to him and shouted: "Weichen thinks it can't." Chen Changhai's qualifications are too shallow, and he is not the best candidate for the post of Xuanhe prefect. ”

The emperor asked coldly, "Then who does Su Aiqing think is the best candidate?" Yourself? If you wish, I can fulfill you. ”

Master Su choked in his throat in one breath, and he didn't know how to answer at all.

He is an official of the second grade, and if he goes to be the prefect, he will be demoted.

The emperor snorted: "Let you push back when recommending people, for fear of being responsible." The prince recommended a candidate, and you feel that the other party is not qualified enough. If you feel that you have enough qualifications, you can nominate yourself and I will fulfill you! ”

All the ministers were silent.

Therefore, Chen Zhizhou's promotion to the prefect of Xuanhe is a sure thing.

The next step is to pick candidates for other official positions.

Now the ministers are not welcome, the responsibility of being a prefect is too heavy, and when you are an individual official, you don't have to take so much responsibility, so you must try to stuff your own manpower over.

A group of important ministers fought for each other, and it was not easy to come to a conclusion.

The emperor felt that these manpower were also suitable, so he asked people to draw up the decree.

Just when the ministers felt that it was time to retire from the court, the prince suddenly came out again and saluted the emperor: "Father, the county lord of Fuyou has made outstanding contributions to this disaster relief, stabilized the people of several provinces to the greatest extent, minimized the losses, and found out that the Xuanhe prefect and a group of officials swallowed up the disaster relief food, and fundamentally put an end to a civil strife. In addition, the county lord of Fuyou has a meritorious role in promoting sweet potatoes, so Erchen advocated asking her to be crowned the princess of the country. ”
