Heard Li Anmin's words.

Zhou Qi's eyes were complicated, he glanced up at Li Anmin, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

Li Anmin raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have anything to say, say it directly!" ”

"Uh......"

Zhou Qi pondered for a while: "Your Majesty really thinks that Wu Huanian can cure the flood?" ”

The flooding in Sannam-do Province is now very severe.

Hundreds of thousands of people were affected, and the lower reaches of the Huai River were at risk of bursting their banks.

But His Majesty didn't want to hurry up the selection of candidates, and only waited for Wu Huanian firmly.

This also made Zhou Qi quite puzzled.

What is the charm of Wu Huanian that can make His Majesty trust him so much.

Even if he governs Wolong County like a prosperous era, it doesn't mean that he has the ability to rescue disasters, right?

Hearing Zhou Qi's words, Li Anmin shook his head and smiled.

"I chose Wu Huanian for no more than two reasons."

"One is because of his abilities."

"In just a few years, he has managed a dilapidated county town into its current situation, and he must have his uniqueness."

"As for the second ......"

Li Anmin narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Qidao: "Do you remember what we saw when we first went to Wolong County?" ”

Zhou Qi thought for a while: "I saw patches of rice fields and wheat fields!" ”

When he said this, Zhou Qi was stunned, and looked at Li Anmin with suspicion in his eyes.

And see him with such an expression.

Li Anmin knew that he wanted to go with himself.

"The biggest problem in today's disaster relief is food shortages."

"Otherwise, how could that Fang Muduan hit the idea on the military rations?"

Li Anmin said faintly: "It is not a day's work for Wolong County to have today's situation. ”

"But over the years, the household department has not received even a grain of grain from Wolong County."

"Do you know what that means?"

Zhou Qi didn't want to think about it: "It means that there must be a large amount of grain in Wolong County!" ”

"That's right."

Li Anmin nodded and said: "As the saying goes, disaster relief first saves the people." ”

"If even the lives of the people cannot be guaranteed, then what is the use of calming the calamity?"

"And now in the whole country, I am afraid that only Wolong County has enough grain to support the hundreds of thousands of victims."

Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "Then what if Wu Huanian is unwilling to transport grain from Wolong County?" ”

"Then he can only obediently put on the hat of disaster relief."

Li Anmin's expression suddenly became gloomy: "As for whether to cut off his head or dismantle him with eight pieces and cut him with thousands of knives, I can see how many people starved to death because he refused to reserve at that time......"

Hearing this, Zhou Qi finally understood.

Why did Li Anmin let Wu Huanian go to the disaster relief?

First, he planned to release Wu Huanian's blood and let him take out the grain in Wolong County to relieve the victims.

The second is also to take advantage of this to put all the responsibility for disaster relief on Wu Huanian.

When the time comes, if he can succeed in disaster relief, the people will be grateful to Li Anmin, the emperor.

If disaster relief is unfavorable, then all the responsibility will be put on Wu Huanian.

Killing him will immediately appease the anger of the people.

Li Anmin, the emperor, will not be affected in the slightest.

Be aware of this.

Zhou Qi couldn't help but shudder.

But following Li Anmin for so many years, he has already understood a truth.

Since ancient times, ruthlessness has been an emperor.

In the eyes of the emperor, human life is not as important as the stability of the world and the stability of the throne.

Time.

Zhou Qi also felt a little pity for Wu Huanian.

He was afraid that he was still immersed in the joy of being a minister.

I'm afraid I don't know that I have already been used by Li Anmin as a fish on the board, right?

……

"Haqiu ......"

On the official road from Henan Province to Shannan Province.

A carriage with ordinary decoration, speeding all the way.

Inside the carriage, Wu Huanian rubbed his nose and said inexplicably: "Why have you been sneezing lately." ”

"The eldest brother's body and bones are weak."

"Now that I've been working for so many days in a row, don't you get sick, right?"

Shi Hu said angrily: "Why don't you wait until the next city to rest?" ”

"Forget it."

Wu Huanian shook his head and said, "The situation in Shannan Province is in crisis, but there is no time for us to delay." ”

"No matter how urgent the disaster is."

"I can't do without my own bones."

Shi Hu looked at Wu Huanian with blank eyes and said: "I promised Qinghe to take good care of you, if she knows that you are sick, you have to fight with me." ”

Wu Huanian glanced at him.

"Your brother is so weak in your eyes?"

"Don't talk about traveling a thousand miles, even if it's an extra generation, what can you do?"

Wu Huanian raised his head and said proudly: "Don't forget that your brother also walked through the south and the north, and killed bandits in the rice fields!" ”

Shi Hu blinked: "How do I remember, at that time, it was your brother who asked the bandits to press him into the mud and almost suffocated to death?" ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Wu Huanian was embarrassed on the spot.

A certain unbearable image also came to mind.

"Smack!"

Wu Huanian raised his hand and slapped him on the top of the head.

"What words? When did your brother tell the bandit to be pressed into the mud? ”

Wu Huanian was annoyed and angry, and said: "It's okay to be idle, don't spread rumors outside!" ”

Shi Hu rubbed his head, his face full of grievances.

That's obviously the truth, how can it be a rumor?

But seeing Wu Huanian's eyes, Shi Hu didn't dare to say anything.

Xu himself also felt embarrassed.

Wu Huanian cleared his throat and changed the topic: "Did you bring the map?" Hurry up and bring it to me to see. ”

"Oh."

Shi Hu took out the map from the package on the side and handed it to Wu Huanian.

Looking at the location of Shannan Road and Huai River on the map, Wu Huanian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Brother!"

"I heard that those businessmen from Shannan Road said it."

"The situation in Shannan Province is very serious, and there are hundreds of thousands of victims alone."

Shi Hu looked at Wu Huanian with concern and said, "But we didn't bring food or money this time, can we make it?" ”

"What's not to do?"

"I'm here for disaster relief, not for charity, so why should I be asked to contribute money and food?"

Wu Hua said without raising his head: "And with our little money and food, we can't save the entire Shannan Dao." ”

His fingers slid back and forth across the map.

"What then?"

Shi Hu scratched his head and said, "We have no money or food now, how can we help the disaster when we get to the place?" ”

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."

"I'm so good, am I still afraid that I won't be able to make money?"

Wu Huanian's fingers finally landed somewhere, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Is the water map brought? Hurry up and bring it to me! ”

Shi Hu hurriedly turned out the water map and handed it to Wu Huanian.

"Not this."

Wu Huanian said: "It is the water map of the Yellow River. ”

"Yellow River?"

Shi Hu said inexplicably: "Brother, isn't there a flood in the Huai River?" Why are you looking at the Yellow River? ”

"Let you take it, what is so much nonsense?"

Wu Huanian simply didn't count on him, and reached out and took out the water map.

When the water map coincided with the map, his face suddenly changed.

"Yes."

"If we can't control the Huai River, I'm afraid our Wolong County will also suffer......"
