The hardest hit area is Gushui City, with Gushui City as the center and outward, and there are disaster areas for hundreds of miles.

After Lou Yunsheng's team entered the disaster area, everywhere they went, there was such a miserable scene as far as the eye could see.

There was no one to collect the corpses, and the corpses were scattered everywhere, and there were corpse pieces that were carried around by the running water.

The reason why it became a corpse was because it was hit in the process of floating, and there was no complete corpse for a long time.

There was a foul smell everywhere, and there was devastation all over the place.

It's hard to imagine that in just one month, this place has become a living purgatory.

And at this time, he has not yet arrived in Gushui City.

It's hard to imagine what Gushui City looks like now.

Lou Yunsheng's group of people is very large, although they have traveled a long distance, but they are dressed extraordinarily, which is in stark contrast to the people on the side of the road.

From time to time, some passers-by will have the courage to come up and beg for food.

When Lou Yunsheng saw these displaced people, he would basically give them some food as much as possible.

However, such a small amount of giving is only a drop in the bucket for the huge number of victims.

Lou Yunsheng's expression was very serious.

He didn't have a smile on his face along the way.

In the first half of the journey, Yu Muhuai was very conscientious in maintaining the distance between his master and his subordinates, and never approached Lou Yunsheng alone.

Yu Wenxue was either sitting in the car or resting in the room of the post station.

The team has very little time to sleep every day, and Lou Yunsheng still needs to deal with official business after arriving at the post station, and it is very late after being busy every day, and Yu Wenxue has already fallen asleep.

And the two have always slept in separate beds, so they haven't spoken much along the way.

In the early stage, he was unsatisfactory in terms of feelings, and when he saw the situation in the disaster area in the later stage, Lou Yunsheng's brows never relaxed.

When he entered the disaster area, those charming thoughts had long been forgotten by him.

The reality of the disaster area is even more serious than what was reported by local officials some time ago.

Most of the surrounding governments have already taken various measures to deal with it.

However, due to the suddenness of the flood, the wide range of damage, the large number of victims, and the limited response measures made by the government, it urgently appealed to the imperial court for help.

The emperor will send Lou Yunsheng over, and he has also considered it.

In addition to wanting Lou Yunsheng to increase some of the prestige of the people, he also wants him to supervise the whereabouts of the disaster relief funds.

The funds allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief and support are the most prone to corruption because of the long distance and the large number of officials who handle them.

Although the current emperor is still a practical person, after all, compared to the previous kings, he still spends a lot more time having fun.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and now there are inevitably a lot of moths in Lan Tingguo.

The emperor used to have fun and neglected these things. By the time he looked back and wanted to rectify the situation, those officials had already formed a network of relationships with each other.

If you want to shake it again, it's not that simple.

And at this time, the emperor's dragon body is getting weaker and weaker, and he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

In the past, the appropriations of the imperial court were gradually reduced after being allocated from the treasury in charge of the household department.

There are fewer people who go out of the imperial city, pass through various local government offices, and stop less often, and less when they arrive at the city that needs to be helped.

After such a layer of exploitation, the property that can really be delivered to the people is more than fifty or sixty percent, and the few may only be one or two.

Everyone often says that there are hundreds of civil and military officials, but in fact, there is a huge Lanting country, and there are more than 100 officials in it.

The more people there are, the more intricate the forces become.

The emperor couldn't handle it, so he thought about simply handing it over to Lou Yunsheng.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see how much this little son was capable of.

This disaster relief is not a small amount, and there are not a few people who have crooked thoughts about this amount.

When the silver taels came out of the treasury and arrived in Lou Yunsheng's hands, they were no longer the original number.

Lou Yunsheng counted it carefully, and he had a rough idea in his heart.

But at present, his power in the court has not been completely stabilized, and the status of some old ministers in the court is not something he can shake for a while.

At present, even his father can only turn a blind eye to some people, and it is not his turn to take care of the Duan King, who has not yet ascended the throne.

It was with such complicated thoughts that Lou Yunsheng went all the way east to Guanglin Mansion.

Gwanglim Mansion is the closest state capital to Gushui City, and after passing through Gwanglim Mansion, it is Gushui City that has been the most severely affected.

Quang Lim is the state capital of several towns and has a large area and a large number of people.

After arriving at Guanglin Mansion, the prefect Zhang Chengdong personally came to respond.

Zhang Chengdong is in his forties, with a big belly and a ruddy complexion.

Just looking at his appearance, it is completely impossible to tell that he is the prefect of the disaster-stricken area.

Zhang Chengdong led a group of lower-level officials to greet Lou Yunsheng and his party.

He then took Lou Yunsheng and the convoy towards his mansion.

After entering the city, the streets and environment have improved a lot.

I have seen too many miserable scenes along the way, and at first glance when I saw such a neat city, Lou Yunsheng and his party were a little in a trance.

Except for the fact that the number of victims is a little higher, it is not even obvious that this is a disaster area.

After all, the city is some distance away from the Qingyuan River, and the impact is not so great.

In order to welcome the arrival of King Duan, Zhang Chengdong specially sent someone to clean up the city a few days in advance.

That's why Lou Yunsheng sees this scene now.

And Guanglin Mansion has money.

Before coming, Lou Yunsheng's secret guards investigated Zhang Chengdong clearly.

Even he raised a few women outside, and the frequency of going to the Qinglou was found out.

Zhang Chengdong is not a local, he was born poor, has no money and no power, and completely relies on his own efforts to be admitted to the imperial examination.

But passing the exam is only the first level, and when he officially enters the officialdom, there are still countless troubles waiting for him.

When he was young, Zhang Chengdong offended people because he was too upright, and he was a petty official in Jiupin for five or six years, and his life was still poor.

Later, he figured it out and began to cling to the powerful and befriending his superiors.

Those who can pass the imperial examination will not have a bad head.

He put his ingenuity to personal relations and gradually mixed up like a fish in water in officialdom.

Ten years ago, he obtained the position of the prefect of Guanglin Mansion and was sent by the imperial court.

Although it is not in the imperial city, the geographical location of Quang Lim Mansion is also good.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the people are not only self-sufficient, but also have enough money to live after paying taxes and fees.

As the largest official in the entire Guanglin Mansion, Zhang Chengdong made a lot of money from this.

The once upright and simple teenager is gone, and now Zhang Chengdong is just thinking about how to make money.

In the past, every time the money from the imperial court passed through Guanglin Mansion, Zhang Chengdong would try his best to deduct a part.
