Zheng Xuan and Zhang Zimo inquired in detail about the situation along the way with the post cavalry in the study, rewarded each other with five taels of silver, and asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal before letting the other party go down to rest.

There were only the two of them in the study for a while, and Zheng Xuan's tone was melancholy:

"The previous floods, although they are also serious, but our Jiannan is not on the main trunk of the Sui River, and the impact on us is minimal, but this year's floods are so serious that even the branches have flooded, and the cavalry of the post station also said, at least five cities in our Jiannan have been affected, and at this moment, there are not many people along the coast who are migrating in the rain, you say that I, the lord of Jiannan, have fulfilled the responsibility of a parental official?"

Zhang Zimo saw that his lord was not worried about the problems of displaced people and chaotic people, nor did he care about the cost of disaster relief in the affected areas, but put it on the people, and he was quite moved, for people like Zheng Xuan, this can already be regarded as a woman's benevolence, but it is this mentality that is different from other people in power that can make him have a unique charm and make many people around him willing to work for it.

张子墨 says:

"Where can Master Hou still consider these at this time? We should immediately carry out disaster relief, if it is slow, our Jiannan will have the risk of civil unrest at any time!"

Zheng Xuan reacted and said approvingly:

"What Mo Xuan said is extremely true, so I don't know how we should arrange it next?"

Zhang Zimo pondered a little and said quickly:

"Lord Hou should immediately mobilize at least four battalions of soldiers and horses to arrange on both sides of the strait, one is to help the people move elsewhere, the second is to suppress Xiaoxiao to maintain law and order, and the third is to monitor the displaced people to prevent civil mutiny!"

"In addition, we also need to order the yamen of the coastal county to choose a suitable place, set up camps overnight, prepare rice porridge, and do a good job of resettlement for the next displaced people. ”

"And I also set off overnight to preside over the work on the spot, and I can also learn more about the situation and come back to report to Master Hou. ”

After Zhang Zimo finished speaking, Zheng Xuan nodded appreciatively, then thought about it and added:

"In addition, we should also find out where the dam caused the problem first, and behead all the relevant local officials to make the people angry, and also wake up other officials not to cheat and cheat during this period!"

"What Master Hou said is extremely true!"

Zhang Zimo agreed, and was about to ask if there were any arrangements, and when he was about to set off if there was no arrangement, Zheng Xuan suddenly said one more sentence:

"Mo Xuan, you are fully responsible for this disaster relief, and I will also let him fully cooperate with you as the commander of the four battalions, but in other aspects, do you still need manpower assistance?"

Zheng Xuan's sudden inquiry made Zhang Zimo stunned for a moment, and then reacted, the flood is a big problem, but this kind of major event is also an extremely rare opportunity for exercise and even assessment, Zheng Xuan wants to take a certain son to the trial.

Zhang Zimo bowed his head and said:

"If there are still manpower, of course, the more the merrier, I wonder if Master Hou still has manpower for me?"

Zheng Xuan didn't think about it and said:

"There are really two people, Yi Chen and Yi Heng are in charge of the south bank and the other is in charge of the north bank, what do you think?"

Zheng Xuan asked, Zhang Zimo didn't say stupidly that it was not good, but he didn't expect Zheng Xuan to choose to let the two small ones go, and the boss stayed in the mansion instead, but in retrospect, Zheng Yilang went to the first few floods, although the floods were far less serious than the times, but the purpose of experience and assessment has been achieved, and sending two small ones to go is also a proper meaning.

Zhang Zimo then nodded and said:

"That's naturally good, and please let the two sons get ready tomorrow, and I'll wait for them in the disaster area." ”

After speaking, Zheng Xuan instructed a few more words, asked Zhang Zimo to pay attention to safety, and specially selected fifty people from his own personal battalion to accompany him for protection, and then sent the other party away, and prepared to notify Zheng Yichen and Zheng Yiheng tomorrow.

...

...

Early the next morning, Zheng Yichen was in the house.

A maid walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the study, the maid looked young and beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were full of shrewdness, and the maids and servants passing by saluted politely when they saw her, this person was one of the several big maids sent by Zheng Xuan when she asked Zheng Yichen to move to the front yard, and now Zheng Yichen's personal maid.

When she came to the study, she knocked on the door a few times, Zheng Yichen shouted inside: "Come in", and she walked in cautiously.

Wen Yu brought in a plate of shaved horseshoe nuts and a plate of sugar, put it on the small case, looked sideways and secretly looked, and saw that Zheng Yichen was copying the third volume of "Xingmin Policy", and when he saw that the tea was exhausted, he stepped forward to fill it with tea, so he knelt aside and stopped talking.

Zheng Yichen sat cross-legged and calmed, writing carefully on the rice paper, the pen and pen outlined clearly, and for a while in the quiet room, only the rustle of the brush sliding across the paper! Wait until the ink on the paper is dry, then press it with a paperweight.

Picked up the teacup and took a sip, "What's wrong?"

Wen Yu raised his head and returned: "Young Master, this is sent by Zhuangzi, I will wash it myself, the freshly peeled horseshoe fruit, can you taste it first?"

Zheng Yichen put down the teacup and looked at it lightly: "Just say what's the matter!" You know my temper, my father sent you, not only to serve me, you have a sense of proportion, between handling my affairs and returning to my father, you can handle it in place, this is very good, but you also have to follow my rules." ”

Wen Yu lowered his head and nodded: "During this time, there have been mothers-in-law and maids in the backyard who have come to inquire about the young master's daily life outside the courtyard, and the slave maid is worried about whether there is something wrong? I want to stop the little guy from asking something, and I secretly stuffed the silver, this is not the first time, the slave and maid pondered, this matter should be reported directly to you, young master!"

Zheng Yichen laid out the copied paper rolls layer by layer, stacked them neatly, and handed them to Wen Yu: "You have to find a way to deal with this matter, you should think about what to do with the silver, let the other three be careful, inform the subordinates to act cautiously, keep an eye on everything, and don't show your handle! As for you to report to your father, how to say that you know the severity, and take the words I copied to your father! Remember, since you are assigned to my courtyard, you and I are on the same road, I have glory, and you have it, if I have no light, you will be the first to be punished!" ”

Wen Yu lowered his head and took it, and hurriedly returned: "The slave and maid know!

When Wen Yu receded, Zheng Yichen rubbed his slightly astringent forehead, originally according to his own thoughts, Cui'er was the personal management maid, and many private matters should also be handled by her. It's just that Cui'er is still young, her nature is too pure, and she has no heart, and there are many dark things underneath, so she can't see it, so she can only gradually let Wen Yu take over.
