It is not difficult to investigate this matter, after all, how well the officials are doing, the people know in their hearts.

Sure enough, Haoyue quickly found out in the sky.

Jun Chenmo originally thought that it would probably be the same as the previous famine, and it was the local officials who swallowed the disaster relief money.

But to their surprise, this Lord Lin seemed to be dedicated to the people, and the people spoke very well of him during his tenure. It is said that he asked the cow by Bingji, and when he can see the abnormality of the cow, he thinks of the weather change, and this kind of person will not do anything to embezzle the disaster relief money no matter what.

Is that something else?

"It is said that this famine is so severe that it is more than one level higher than previous years, both in terms of the extent of the damage and the number of victims." Haoyue answered his doubts.

So it's not the fault of the local officials, it's just that the imperial court didn't expect it to be so serious, and the small amount of money allocated led to the current situation.

"Yes, yes, the local old man praised me for this Lord Lin, it is said that he only took office this year, but he has done a better job than the previous ones." Dangkong added.

It seems that this Lord Lin really has no problems with his official character.

But......

Jun Chenmo raised his eyes and looked at Haoyue in the sky, and said lightly: "Then he.... How did you deal with it. ”

These things can only show that he may not be greedy for money, but being an official cannot just be without greed for money. You still need to have the ability to use up the disaster relief funds of the imperial court, and then what? How did he deal with it?

Haoyue honestly answered what they had found, and said respectfully to Jun Chenmo: "It is said that this lord has been selling the property subsidy for disaster relief, and he has also written to report to the imperial court for the time being, but we have not received the news yet, and we are also contacting the county next to it to borrow money for disaster relief." ”

When Jun Chenmo heard this, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

It seems that this official is not only empty and sympathetic to the victims, but also acts in an orderly manner.

Since it was really late today, Jun Chenmo planned to take Bei Xiaoqi to this Lord Lin's house the next day. After all, after listening to so much, it is better to always listen, and it is better to see is believing.

The next day, Jun Chenmo and Bei Xiaoqi rushed to Lord Lin's house after a simple breakfast.

Jun Chenmo and Bei Xiaoqi came relatively early, but when they came to the mansion, they were still told that Lord Lin had gone out to comfort the victims, which made Bei Xiaoqi and Jun Chenmo feel shocked.

I had heard that this adult was very dedicated before, but this level still surprised Bei Xiaoqi and Jun Chenmo.

Since the host is not at home, should he still visit?

Bei Xiaoqi was thinking about this question in his heart, but he didn't expect Jun Chenmo next to him to immediately say to the housekeeper: "Then may I ask if Madame is at home?" We just wanted to know about the famine. If Lord Lin is not there, it is okay for Mrs. to explain to us, after all, the disaster cannot be delayed. ”

Hearing Jun Chenmo's words, the housekeeper knew that he couldn't refuse, so he hurriedly passed the word inside, and after a while, Mrs. Lin went out to greet her.

As soon as they entered the door, Jun Chenmo and Bei Xiaoqi saw the current scene in the mansion.

The fallen leaves scattered on the ground were uncleaned, the decayed flowers were untied, and even the seats for hospitality could be seen to have just been wiped.

After coming to the main hall, Mrs. Lin said with some embarrassment: "The servants in the family have all gone with the master to provide disaster relief, so now the house is a little simple, please don't mind." ”

After finishing speaking, he also bowed slightly.

Jun Chenmo said with a graceful manner: "It's okay, I don't have time to worry about anything else at this time, and I ask Mrs. to tell us in detail about the recent famine." ”

At this time, the housekeeper came over with a few cups of tea and served tea to Bei Xiaoqi and Junchenmo.

The tea served to the guests was only the coarsest barley tea among the farmers, and then it was not served with a snack. The most important thing is that this butler seems to be the only one in the house, and there are no other servants in the house except this butler.

It seems that this adult has indeed scattered all the wealth of his family for disaster relief.

Jun Chenmo was secretly observing this Lin Mansion when he was talking. On the other hand, Mrs. Lin has already begun to talk about this famine.

She didn't know much, just what everyone knew.

And what Jun Chenmo wanted to know from her was only what Master Lin had done during this time.

Mrs. Lin sighed a little when she talked about Lord Lin, and said helplessly: "He went out early and returned late during this time, and he went out when I didn't know it, and he rested for a long time before he rested." ”

A look of pain flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes when she said this, and then she carefully concealed this look, and said strongly: "He said that he sold his property to help the disaster, and I also went to see those victims, so I support him very much." ”

As she spoke, the sadness in Mrs. Lin's eyes gradually turned into admiration. In her eyes, her husband is a person worthy of worship and a good official who is clear.

Bei Xiaoqi couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Mrs. Lin, the money for disaster relief was not enough, so he could only subsidize it from his family, but the family's expenses were also in need of money. Even if Mrs. Lin knew these things, she still supported this family by herself, which is really admirable.

Mrs. Lin smiled softly at Bei Xiaoqi and Jun Chenmo, and then said with some sadness: "Even so, the disaster is like a huge hole, no matter how hard we try, we can only temporarily remedy it, and we can't solve this problem from the root." My lord now goes out early and returns late every day, and I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. ”

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but show a worried look, and suddenly Jun Chenmo on the side suddenly got up and said to Mrs. Lin: "Madam, please don't worry, since we are here, we are here to solve this matter." ”

Mrs. Lin was also taken aback by Jun Chenmo, but when Jun Chenmo said this, the corners of Mrs. Lin's eyes were a little moist, she stood up, bowed slightly, and said to Jun Chenmo sincerely: "Thank you, sir." ”

Until Mrs. Lin sent the two out of the door, Bei Xiaoqi was still in a stunned state.

"They seem to be quite pitiful...."After a long time, Bei Xiaoqi was stunned to say this.

"yes." Jun Chenmo replied casually as if he hadn't heard it.

But he suddenly turned around and said to Bei Xiaoqi: "But the victims are even more pitiful, since they are in this position, they must also pay something." ”

"But even then..."Jun Chenmo sighed again after saying the previous words, and continued: "Their actions are really great. ”

Yes, there are very few officials who can do everything for the people.

Next, they went to the camp of the victims. After coming to the local disaster camp, Bei Xiaoqi was a little uncomfortable.

The environment is not unshabby. The tents set up randomly for shelter from the rain are very little covered, and many people also use straw to keep out the cold, and the blood and mud on the ground are mixed together, which is really a great visual impact.
