There are many people outside, and it is unrealistic to leave at this time, Yuwen Jinghuai had to let Lord Zhou go to settle these victims first, and with the efforts of the officials, all the displaced people in front of the inn were finally invited away, and the rain stopped at this time.

Everyone immediately set off to the disaster area, but what people didn't expect was that Yuwen Jinghuai actually brought the two little beauties sent by Lord Zhou.

Chu Yue'an didn't have to take the carriage to stare at Yuwen Jinghuai anymore, and he was happy to go outside to ride a horse, and he could only hear the singing and laughter in the carriage along the way.

It was said that everyone traveled for another three days and finally arrived at Qinghe County, which was the most severely affected. Shangguan Xun naturally came in advance, but he did not notify the local officials in advance, and quietly sneaked in to find out the situation.

This Qinghe County is already full of disaster victims, all of them are hungry, their eyes are glazed, and their whole bodies are swollen.

casually found an inn and settled it, Shangguan Xun immediately went to the disaster area to find out the situation, Shangguan Yan originally wanted to go with him, but asked Shangguan Xun to refuse, and let her wait for news here.

"It's pathetic." Shangguan Yan looked at the victims on the street, "What do the officials here do to eat, and they actually make them hungry like this!" ”

"The inside of the city is only partial, and more is outside the city, the houses and fields have been washed away, and there is no food, so they must feed on the bark and dirt of trees." Yuwen Jinghuai said, "The most important thing at the moment is to control the flooding and not let the area of the disaster area continue to expand." ”

"I don't know when the food money escorted by Lord Sun will arrive, if they can arrive earlier, they will be able to rescue these people earlier." Shangguan Yan said, "I just hope that God can also pity these people, tell the flood to recede as soon as possible, and give them a way to live." ”

Yuwen Jinghuai didn't say anything, and took his two beauties upstairs.

Shangguan Yan snorted: "At this time, he still has the heart to listen to the music, and he really has no sympathy at all." ”

"Whatever. Chu Yue'an said, "I'll go outside to take a look, I'll see all the way, these victims are not only hungry, but also many are sick, I'll see what kind of diseases they are and how many medicinal materials they need." ”

"It's very chaotic outside, I'd better go with you." Shangguan Yan hurriedly said.

The two walked around the street, Shangguan Yan's heart became more and more uncomfortable, she grew up in the bustling capital, where have she seen so many miserable scenes, these are all living people, tortured by natural disasters to become what they are now.

"I only hate that I am not a man, if I were a man, I would definitely be an official, for the benefit of the people, not to let them live so miserably." Shangguan Yan bit his lip and said.

"I've told you many times, don't deny yourself because of your identity as a woman." Chu Yuean said, "In today's society, as a woman, you may not be able to be an official, but if you really want to do good deeds, there are still many things you can do." All roads lead to Rome, there is not only one road, the traditional road cannot be walked, we can also take the non-traditional road, there are always more ways than difficulties. ”

"Master, I understand what you say, but what is this Rome?" Shangguan Yan asked strangely.

"You don't have to pick out the words like that, in short, you don't have to give up on yourself for the sake of your identity as a woman." Chu Yue'an said with a smile.

"Understood." Shangguan Yan nodded, "In the future, we will definitely carry forward the Xuanmen, so that the Xuanmen can replace some of the functions of the court and protect the people." ”

Good guy, Chu Yue'an was secretly funny, his original intention of establishing the Xuanmen was just to cultivate a group of people who inherited his medical skills and assassination skills, why did the Xuanmen become so positive in your mouth?

After walking around, Chu Yue'an had a good idea of the symptoms of these victims, and returned to the inn with Shangguan Yan.

In the evening, Shangguan Xun, who had gone out to check the situation, finally returned, and Shangguan Yan hurriedly asked, "Big brother, how is the situation?" ”

Shangguan Xun's face was not very good, and he was silent for a while and said: "The situation is much more serious than we imagined, the disaster continues to expand, and the number of victims is much more than what they reported to the court. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Shangguan Yan frowned and asked.

"Tomorrow I will go to the local officials to discuss how to deal with the floods, these officials are so poor that they have to mobilize the people around them to act together." Shangguan Xun said, "The first step is to establish your authority first. I have a sense of proportion in my heart, you don't need to worry, just rest early. ”

Chu Yue'an said: "I took a look outside today, those victims are all sick, and I need some medicinal materials to treat them." ”

"I'll figure it out tomorrow." Shangguan thought for a moment and said, "You are just waiting for my news here." ”

Although Chu Yue'an and his party quietly came to Qinghe County, at night, their whereabouts were still known by local officials.

I only saw that the prefect Lord Yang came to meet the water control officials sent by the imperial court with the county magistrate of Qinghe County and the officials of the surrounding disaster-stricken areas.

The group gathered in the inn, and Lord Yang arched his hand and said, "Why didn't Lord Shangguan notify Xiaguan in advance?" The lower officials are so good to lead people to greet adults! Xiaguan has already prepared a place for Lord Shangguan to live, this place is really too wronged for adults, please move. ”

"It's too late today, tomorrow's Japanese official will go to the government with you, just to discuss with you about water control." Shangguan Xun said, "Since you are here, then you have prepared your plan to control the water, and we will discuss it together tomorrow, and the resettlement method of the victims, this is a small part of the city, and there are a large number of people outside the city, you must have a proper method, if there are too many people starving to death, it will inevitably cause a plague, and more people will die at that time, but I am afraid that you will not be able to bear this responsibility." ”

Lord Yang knew that Shangguan Xun must have wiped out all the details, and it was not easy to quibble, so he hugged his fists and said: "Yes, my lord, the lower officials will go back and prepare a plan, and it will definitely satisfy the adults." ”

"It's nothing, you guys go back first." Shangguan Xun said, "Everything will be discussed tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Lord Yang withdrew with the officials first.

Yuwen Jinghuai stood on the second floor of the inn, silently watching the situation below, his eyes narrowed, and he did not speak.

Chu Yue'an looked at Yuwen Jinghuai's back and said, "Since Your Highness is here for the disaster, I have seen so many victims today, I don't know how to feel in my heart?" ”

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and heaven and earth are dogs." Yuwen Jinghuai said lightly, "Since it is a natural disaster, how can it be avoided?" ”

"What His Highness wants and understands in his heart, the matter is so serious that it is both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster." Chu Yuean said.

Yuwen Jinghuai turned his head to look at Chu Yue'an and asked, "Are you very concerned about the disaster victims?" ”

"It's not okay to care, but you can't be indifferent after seeing it with your own eyes." Chu Yuean thought for a while and said.

"Then I hope you can focus on the big picture when the time comes." Yuwen Jinghuai sighed lightly, "But don't worry, since this king is here, it won't be in vain, the king will do what should be done, and the king will do what shouldn't be done." ”

Chu Yue'an only felt that Yuwen Jinghuai had something to say, and frowned and asked, "What does Your Highness mean by this?" ”

Yuwen Jinghuai picked the corner of his mouth and smiled invisibly: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

Early the next morning, Shangguan Xun went to the government to discuss with the officials how to control the water.

Lord Yang prepared a table of good meals for Shangguan Xun, hugged his fists and said: "The adults must not have had a good breakfast so early, these coarse tea and light rice are also invited to the adults, and the courtyard where the adults live has been cleaned up, the adults can go to see if there are any things that need to be added later, and the junior officials will do it together." ”

Shangguan Xun looked at the breakfast on the table to bless the sea cucumbers, chicken, duck and fish, which were very hearty, and couldn't help frowning: "You all eat these for breakfast?" ”

"Don't you like that?" Lord Yang hurriedly asked, "What do adults like to eat, Xia Guan will go and prepare it immediately." ”

"How many victims outside are still eating tree bark and mud, and you have such a luxurious breakfast? You open your eyes and look at the people outside, and you listen to their cries of pain, can you eat? ”

"This ......" Lord Yang was startled and hurriedly said, "Xia Guan knew that he was wrong, and Xia Guan immediately took down the Che Xie's meal." ”

"I won't eat breakfast." Shangguan Xun said coldly, "Call someone over immediately, and we will discuss the matter of controlling the flood." ”

"Yes, the next official will do it." Lord Yang said hurriedly.

Out of the house, Lord Yang's master said, "This Lord Shangguan is a hard stubble. ”

"It's just a high surface." Lord Yang snorted, "Pucai, who always wants to let people put on the court officials, the strong dragon can't resist the local snake, since he has come to my territory, what about Qincha, he still has to be kneaded by me, so that everyone should not be afraid, just fool him first, if the court investigates it, all the blame will be put on him." ”

"But after all, he is the grandson of the prime minister." The master said with some concern, "There won't be any mess, right?" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Lord Yang snorted coldly, "We still have Lord Zhou Mu above us!" It will be good when Master Sun comes, I don't believe that he will dare to point fingers in front of Lord Sun. ”

"Yes." The master nodded and said, "It's just that there are a few other people who came with this adult, and they are all living in the inn now, these people ......."

"Get a few people to keep an eye on you." Lord Yang said, "Also, the letters to and from the capital have been paid attention to recently, and we should check them carefully, so that some news that is unfavorable to us should not reach the ears of the court." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will do it immediately."
