"If you can't hide it, we're all going to be finished!" Lord Yu said with a gloomy face.

"My lord, we don't have to hide it!" The master suddenly whispered.

"What do you mean?" Lord Yu frowned.

"The relationship with the one who walked?" The master pouted in the direction of the guest room.

Master Yu didn't speak for a while, but his thoughtful look obviously listened to what the master said.

"That's what the master said. It's human beings who have weaknesses. Maybe we can pull an ally. It's hard to hide, but it's not impossible. One of the staff members stepped forward and said.

"How do you hide it?" Lord Yu asked.

Deliberately concealing and not reporting the news was enough for him to drink a pot. Not to mention so many people who escaped. If the capital can know the news, there must be people who have run over. The so-called concealment is actually their own self-deception.

"Let's just say that we didn't mean to hide it. It's just that let's keep things simple. I thought that the disaster would not be too serious and that we could solve it ourselves. Besides, the emperor is in Chengde again, and we are afraid that we will delay the time on the way back and forth, so we will get the disaster relief charter out by ourselves first. The staff said.

"But we didn't provide disaster relief at all!" Ding Da is humane.

"How can you say no? Didn't we drive a porridge shack? Didn't they give the people a subsidy of money? The staff said.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lord Ding patted his head and said, "This official has forgotten these things. ”

Although the porridge shack was only open for two days and could not be maintained, I don't know whose pocket the subsidy money has fallen into. But these things have been done. There are also records in the yamen.

"The reason why we couldn't control the disaster was because we underestimated the severity of the disaster. We've been trying to find a disaster relief. We didn't deliberately hide it from the court, but we just delayed it. The staff added.

"But the official didn't write a recital." Lord Ding was a little frustrated this time.

"Isn't there one? If he does his job, he will be able to put a copy of the recital in the newspaper in Beijing. At that time, it could be pushed to the official who sent the report, but it was he who missed it, which delayed the matter. Master said on the side.

Lord Ding's eyes lit up and said, "This is a method." ”

"Say a thousand things and ten thousand, the most important thing now is to figure out that one thoroughly." Staff said.

"Yes! If you want to pull him to our boat, you must always promise benefits and do what he likes! But now we don't know anything about this great Chitose. Lord Ding frowned.

"Your friend's friend in Kyoto might be able to help?" The staff asked.

Those who can be a big member of one side have some backers in Beijing. Lord Ding is no exception.

"But now I write a letter back to Beijing, this time comes and goes, I'm afraid I can't catch up with the time." Lord Ding said worriedly.

"Your Excellency, you can probe that person tomorrow. If you really come to run an errand, you will definitely not leave in a day or two. If that one really loosens, the day when the adults send the letter to Beijing can be dragged down first. The staff said.

"What if he didn't mean that? Are you here to run an errand? "Lord Ding is humane.

"Then he can't look it up." The staff said: "Even if he is a Qincha, this is the territory of adults." ”

Lord Ding thought for a moment and said, "Dead horses should be used as live horse doctors." Tomorrow, the Japanese official will probe the wind first. "It's not easy to come with the black gauze hat on his head, if this matter is dealt with, let alone the black gauze hat, he will lose his head if he doesn't get it.

The men deliberated for a while, and did not disperse until late in the evening. In the guest room, the eldest brother slept and snored. He has been running all the way, and it can be said that he has not been able to sleep well since returning to Beijing from Chengde.

Early in the morning of the second day, the eldest brother woke up and had breakfast, and heard that Lord Ding had asked to see him.

"Let him in." Big Brother said lightly.

"Xiaguan has seen Dachitose. Is the big Chitose okay last night? Master Ding said with a smile on his face.

"Not bad." The eldest brother said: "Lord Ding came just in time, I am looking for you for something." ”

"Oh Chitose, please speak." Lord Ding said busily.

"On the way here, I saw a lot of refugees, and what they said was your accent. The fields along the road were also dry and deserted. It seems to have been affected. But why didn't you play to Jingzhong here? Big Brother asked.

"I'm ashamed to say that." Master Ding told him what he had discussed with his staff last night.

"Oh, that's how it was delayed." The eldest brother didn't have much change in expression, just nodded, and asked again, "Then what are you going to do now?" Just displace these people? ”

"Xiaguan is thinking about something, and he is also preparing to play to Jingzhong and ask the court to allocate some food." Lord Ding forced his composure.

"You said that all the grain in the granary was used for disaster relief?" Big Brother asked.

"Yes. Xiaguan opened a warehouse for disaster relief from the moment he discovered the disaster. The states and counties below also let them open porridge sheds, and each victim could receive two bowls of gruel a day. Ding Dadao: "This is a natural disaster, and there is nothing the officials can do." I was hoping that it would rain in a few days, and that the food in the field would be saved. I didn't know it would be dry for so long. ”

The eldest brother looked at this Lord Ding speaking in a high-sounding manner, and the fire in his heart suddenly rose. It's just that he still said quietly on his face: "If the master remembers correctly, Lord Ding seems to be Suo Xiang's protégé, right?" ”

Lord Ding's heart trembled, and he said with a smile on his face: "Sort of." Xiaguan Chunfu was Suo Xiang as the examiner that year. However, Xiaguan has been released all these years, and Suo Xiang is afraid that he doesn't remember Xiaguan at all. ”

"Lord Ding is also a member of the party now, so Suo Xiang should remember it." Big Brother means something.

Lord Ding secretly screamed badly, and his forehead was a little sweaty.

"Smack!" With a sound, Lord Ding was startled, and his legs subconsciously weakened, and he knelt on the ground.

"Master Ding, what's wrong?" The eldest brother said with a surprised face: "I just missed and put the teacup a little heavier." ”

"Ah, the lower official is timid." Lord Ding slowly stood up again with an embarrassed expression.

A sneer flashed in the eldest brother's eyes, but his tone was still flat: "I just heard what Lord Ding said, it is understandable that you have this land under your rule, and you didn't have the intention to do it, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, Oh Chitose said yes." Lord Ding nodded hurriedly.

"Since the lord has come to investigate at the behest of Emperor Ama, he can't listen to your side. Let's go, let me see if your granary really doesn't have a grain of rice left!" Big Brother got up and said.

Lord Ding's expression was relieved, and he hurriedly said, "Xiaguan will lead the way for Da Chitose." "He's not afraid to inspect the granary. He's not the same as Shandong. He didn't store grain, but he advanced it. Except for the rations of these people in the government office, the granary is really empty.
