Hearing what the fat man in front of him said, Li Mengwei suddenly laughed a little.

How blind do you have to be to look at such a guy.

He frowned slightly, and continued to ask:

"You mean that the officialdom of Huainan is gathering all over the city?"

"Or else? Master Shangshu is here, this is a rare opportunity! ”

"If I can't hold it anymore, how can I come back to rest?"

"Hurry up and ask everything you want to ask, and I have to go to the city when I get back and rest!"

A look of anger flashed in Li Mengwei's eyes.

"Floods are coming, crops are in danger, dikes are bursting, and no one is taking care of them."

"In this case, you don't worry about those important things, but in order to cater to one person, you all leave your post and go to the city, are you Huainan officials all this virtue?"

Hearing this, Hou Yongshou was aggrieved: "I'm just a donor!" What you're talking about isn't my responsibility, what's my business? ”

"I just want to hug my thighs, hoping to have a backer!"

Hearing this, Li Meng couldn't help but stagnate: "It's just that you are a donor official, and the same is true for the real officials in Shouzhou?" ”

Huainan belongs to Shouzhou, Huainan Province, and there is a lot of rain in summer, so there will be such a flood disaster. @

It is said that at this time, officials of all sizes in Huainan should be busy preparing for the flood fight.

But according to Hou Yongshou, those guys who tend to be inflammatory, are actually staying in the city, waiting to welcome their arrival.

Hou Yongshou pouted: "How dare I take care of the affairs of adults?" Everyone is running around for their own future, how can they care about the life and death of these mud legs. ”

When Li Meng heard this, he was also full of emotion in his heart.

Although this Hou Yongshou is not a good person, at least he speaks straightly, and he will not hide anything if he has anything to say!

At this time, Cao Menghua on the side stepped forward and said:

"You said you were going home to rest, and your home is here?"

Hou Yongshou nodded and said, "It's here!" ”

"Along the way, there are mud dikes everywhere, but here there are bluestones."

"Obviously located in the northernmost part of Huainan, the disaster should be the slightest, but the most stringent protection is used, is this a bit overkill?"

Hearing this, Hou Yongshou said: "Good steel is used on the blade, and the people who live here are all wealthy families, how can they be compared with those mud legs who live in other places?" ”

"It doesn't matter if the whole Huainan is flooded, but it can't be flooded here!"

"Because the people who live here are the most powerful people in Huainan!"

"That's the level of protection."

"Besides, if it weren't for the fact that this place is higher and the least affected, how would those adults who have spared their lives be willing to make their homes here?"

Hou Yongshou's words told the truth.

When Li Meng heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"This good man, do you want to move your legs? You see, I've answered everything you want to ask, and I've been lying on the ground for a long time! ”

As he spoke, he put his hands on Li Mengwei's boots, intending to remove them.

Li Mengwei was also interrupted by his movements.

Seeing this, he moved his foot down and made Nahou Yongshou straighten up.

After Hou Yongshou stood up, he didn't have time to dust off his body, so he spoke:

"Hero, if there is nothing to do, I'll leave first?"

Hearing this, Li Mengwei waved his hand.

Hou Yongshou immediately pulled the coachman on the side, didn't even care about the original carriage, and trotted away all the way.

Seeing this, Cao Menghua on the side couldn't help asking:

"My lord, will you just let him go?"

Li Mengwei said with an indifferent face:

"You also heard him say that he is just a donor and has no absolute obligation to fight the flood."

Then, as his voice changed, his tone sharpened:

"On the contrary, it is those real officials who take the money of the court and harm the people!"

"Instead of doing practical things.

He also used the silver used to fight the flood to build this bluestone house for himself. ”

"Now it's even more to cater to my book, and it's a few days to go to the city and wait."

"The people don't care, and they don't care about disaster relief!"

"What is the use of such an official?"

Hearing this, Cao Menghua was silent for a while, and then spoke:

"But my lord, according to the plan proposed by Qin Fan's county order, these people with fame and status in Huainan should go to the front line of flood fighting."

"In this way, we will have the opportunity to resist the flood and hold Huainan!"

Li Mengwei nodded and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't let them go!" ”

"It's just that after the flood recedes, the officialdom in Huainan needs to be cleaned up!"

Hearing this, Cao Menghua reminded: "My lord, don't forget that we still have to build a dam!" ”

"These village sages may not have a good character, and they don't know how to be officials. But they have prestige among the local people! ”

"We have to command the people to build dams, and without the help of these villagers, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult."

Hearing this, Li Mengwei glared and said:

"What? These townsmen have prestige, and I, the Lord of Shangshu, have no prestige at all? ”

"Could it be that I helped the people resist the flood, and they didn't want to build the dam with me?"

"Besides, my dam was originally built for the people of Huainan."

"Besides, the court has allocated a lot of money, and I don't fail to pay it. @*~~”

"I don't believe it, if that's the case, the people will refuse!"

When Cao Menghua heard this, he silently mourned for a moment for these Huainan gentry.

It won't be long before they are driven to the dike, facing the storm and the impact of the water.

Even if they pass it smoothly, they will be settled by Li Meng, and their previous corruption and laxity in their duties will be investigated one by one.

But then again, these people don't deserve sympathy either!

It's nothing more than self-inflicted blame.

If they had not chosen to embezzle the disaster relief funds, Li Shimin's worries about Huainan would not have reached such a point.

He will not send a general like Li Mengwei to fight the flood.

And even if Li Mengwei came, they still had a chance to make corrections.

As long as you show your enthusiasm for flood fighting for such a period of time.

At that time, even if Li Mengwei is held accountable, he will be able to offset the merits and demerits, and he will not be punished too severely.

It will not be like now, so that Li Mengwei has the idea of changing a group of officials!

Coming back to his senses, Cao Menghua opened his mouth and asked about his next plans:

"Then my lord, let's go to the Huainan City now, and meet the officials who are waiting for the arrival of the adults?"

Hearing this, Li Meng snorted coldly:

"Aren't they willing to wait? Just let them wait! ”

"Let's take a look around the whole Huainan first, understand the topography here, and then arrange flood control measures!"
