On the fifth day, the Falcon team returned to Li Hao's side on time.

In the past five days, they went deep into the disaster area, went through a lot of hardships, and finally saw the seriousness of the disaster with their own eyes. The torrential rain that lasted for a month completely turned Hongzhou into a Zeguo, flooding everywhere, rocks collapsed, roads were blocked, and many people were affected.

Among them, Qingmei County, Yuning County, and Penggao County were the most severely affected. There is not one in ten houses, and the people are hungry, which can be said to be starving all over the place, mourning all over the wilderness, and miserable.

Most of the officials have a negative attitude, and few of them actively organize disaster relief efforts, and the people are full of complaints.

Li Hao immediately compiled the information into a book and sent someone back to Chang'an as soon as possible for Li Shimin to arrange the follow-up disaster relief funds.

The members of the Falcon team were exhausted after five days of running, but they couldn't care about the fatigue, and suggested that Li Hao hurry to the main county seat of Hongzhou and order the officials to start rescue work.

Witnessing the hardships of the people under the floods, where can the soldiers rest in peace.

Although Li Hao felt sorry for these soldiers, he also knew that disaster relief was urgent. After ordering the soldiers to leave all the dry food supplies, they took everyone to the county seat - Hui County.

After half a day's journey, the group finally came to Hui County, Hongzhou.

In front of the city gates.

It was still pouring rain in the sky, but the people had to stand in the middle of the road and wait for Li Hao's arrival.

As soon as Li Hao's carriage drove into the county seat, a group of officials with umbrellas immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Xiaguanhui County Thorn Shi Yu Fang has seen the prince, and he hopes to forgive his sins if he loses his promise!"

A bearded man ran up to Li Hao and bowed respectfully.

"It's okay!" Li Hao responded lightly: "Lord Yu, the disaster in Hongzhou has alarmed the saints, and I have been specially sent here to supervise the disaster relief, but I see that the houses here are complete and the people live in peace." It shows that adults have a good way to provide disaster relief! ”

Yu Fang hurriedly smiled and said: "The prince is too famous, these are all things that are within the official duties." The lower officials are favored by the emperor, and to manage the people on this side, they naturally need to love the people like sons and manage everything properly! ”

"Very good, having an official like Lord Yu is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty."

Being praised by Li Hao like this, Yu Fang was overjoyed, and the smile on his face was almost unbearable.

"I have won awards and awards, the prince has worked the boat, and the lower officials have already set up a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the adults, please do so!"

"Lord Yu is really hearted, I'm really tired after walking all the way, let's lead the way!"

On the banquet, Li Hao sat at the same table with Yu Fang and other officials, the table was full of wine and food, big fish and meat, delicacies, and the dishes were complete and exquisite, which made people move their appetite at a glance.

There is also a pot of wine warmed with hot water next to it, accompanied by the sound of rain, and there is a feeling of writing poetry.

Yu Fang flatteringly poured a glass of wine for Li Hao; "The arrival of the prince makes the humble house shine, and some home-cooked dishes are difficult to get up to, I hope the prince will not dislike it. This is my Huixian specialty rice wine, adults first drink a cup to wash the dust. ”

Li Hao picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and the surrounding officials immediately clapped their asses and praised Li Hao's massiveness.

Wan'er has always been gentle, but when she saw the appearance of these officials and philistines, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Laugh, laugh while you still have the chance. Later, the young master will start his temper and ensure that you will never forget it.

After drinking, Li Hao turned his head to look at Yu Fang.

"Lord Yu, it has been raining heavily in Hongzhou for a month, are the people okay? Do they have tiles to cover their heads, or do they have food to eat? ”

"The prince cares about the people, and the officials sincerely admire it. The victims have been properly resettled, everyone is well fed and clothed, and adults do not have to worry. After the rain stops, the lower officials will focus on rebuilding the problem, and they will not let the people suffer! ”

"Lord Yu's righteousness, this king admires, I salute you!"

Li Hao smiled and gave Yu Fang a glass of wine.

"The disaster is so serious, the reconstruction work must be very difficult, the Holy God is concerned about the disaster area, and specially sent me to investigate so as to facilitate the distribution of follow-up disaster relief funds!"

As soon as he heard this, Yu Fang immediately came to his senses.

As far as the distribution of disaster relief funds is concerned, Li Shimin gave 2 million taels of silver early in the morning, and this money alone is not too small. But who would dislike having a lot of money?

Yu Fang's eyes rolled, and he had a plan in his heart.

He sighed melancholy: "This flood disaster is rare in a century, and the first batch of disaster relief funds has all been lowered to resettle the victims, and it is not easy to properly resettle everyone." There may still be some difficulties in the follow-up reconstruction, but Xiaguan has already thought about it, even if he goes bankrupt and sells iron, Xiaguan must let the people return to normal life! ”

If Li Hao hadn't personally gone to the disaster-stricken place to actually investigate, I'm afraid he would really think that this guy was a people-oriented Qing official.

Seeing such boasting, Li Hao did not expose him for the first time, but led the topic in another direction.

"The disaster area has been treated by adults, and this king can rest assured. But my lord, do you know who this king is? ”

"Li Hao, the king of Zhen'an, is the first village in the world and the owner of Lijiazhuang. The prince's name is like thunder, and the lower officials have long admired it! ”

"Then do you know what kind of business my Li Jiazhuang does in Chang'an?"

"What did the adults say about Cui Weiju? This subordinate has heard of it. I heard that Cuiweiju's food and wine are famous in Chang'an, and the Manchu Dynasty is full of praise for its civil and military affairs. It's a pity that Xiaguan is a frontier assassin, and it is difficult to taste it. ”

"Haha, Lord Yu Fang, since you know that this king's Cuiweiju is famous for its delicious food, isn't it a bit rude for you to entertain me with these drinks and dishes today?"

Yu Fang was embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, it is true that the lower officials are presumptuous, tomorrow I will set up a banquet to make amends to the prince." ”

Seeing that Li Hao was also a prince who was greedy for pleasure, everyone was relieved. It's good to be greedy for pleasure, and then it's easier to do work.

"You misunderstood what the king meant!" Li Hao laughed again, and the solemnity in the air was instantly diluted: "What this king means is that I brought a lot of Cuiweiju delicacies when I came, didn't Lord Yu say that I wanted to taste the taste of Cuiweiju's delicacies?" Now is the chance! ”

"I see, thank you lord." Everyone was in high spirits and couldn't help but rub their hands. The name of Cuiweiju's delicacies has spread all over the Tang Dynasty, and everyone wants to taste the peerless delicacies that have been praised by the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

Li Hao clapped his hands: "Come on, bring up the food." Ladies and gentlemen, you are in a hurry and have no preparations, so please don't dislike things if they don't suit your appetite. ”

"How come, Cuiweiju's food is famous all over the world, how can we dislike it."

"In that case, please bring it all to eat, don't hurt the king's heart!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

As he spoke, Black Egg led a few people to place a team of oilcloth-wrapped things in front of several adults.

The packaging is extremely rough, and there is no trace of the legendary Cuiweiju food temperament.

Yu Fang and the others looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing what to do for a while.

Li Hao looked at a few people with a half-propped face: "What's the matter, didn't you say that you want to taste Cuiweiju's things in your dreams?" Hurry up and eat! ”

At this time, Li Hao's harmony, without the kindness of Fang Cai, seems to have the smell of threat.

Everyone was startled, vaguely seemed to notice something, and hurriedly opened the oilcloth bag in front of them.
