Chapter 141 Porridge

"Give it to you."

With a peaceful sound, a wine jug was thrown towards him from the white mist.

"Eh?"

Zhao Cuo took it with some doubts and asked.

"Master Chu, this is..."

"You also wanted to distribute the dry food to me just now."

Chu Biezhi's calm and elegant voice came.

"But didn't Master Guoshi not ask for my food?"

"I don't need it, but your intention is true."

"Then this junior will be at a loss for this wine."

Zhao Cuo's affection for her has skyrocketed, she is worthy of being Dayu's Royal Highness, and she is indeed a gentle and educated woman.

It was the first time he met such a normal woman.

When floating a big white!

"How can you be okay with this pot at such a young age?"

Chu Guoshi looked amusedly at the young man who proudly raised his head and took a sip.

"I often go to the painting boat to drink flower wine with my colleagues..."

Zhao mistakenly underestimated the strength of the wine that the immortal drank, his face turned red immediately after taking a big gulp, and he subconsciously told the truth.After he realized it, he swallowed most of the words that reached his throat, but it was too late.

"Return it to this seat."

Chu Biezhi's tone sank, a slender white hand stretched out from the mist, and hooked Zhao wrongly.

"Joke."

Mr. Zhao Xiaogong had never been in the habit of handing over what he got. He cheekily bit the mouth of the jug and sipped it lightly, indicating that the wine jug was already stained with saliva.

"How come you are such a shameless person from Zheng Guogong's mansion?"

Chu Guoshi laughed angrily, but he didn't bother to argue with him, so he took out a wine gourd and drank it himself.

The time in the carriage passed extremely quickly, and Zhao Cuo also got along with the current imperial teacher in a friendly manner in the next few days, and there was no bloodshed.

With the increasing rain, they finally entered the boundary of Quang Binh Province.

"I respectfully invite Sheng An!"

Zhao Cuo, who had already put on the coir raincoat, got out of the carriage, looked indifferently at the officials of Guangping Mansion who had already been waiting at the gate of the city, and accepted their big gift instead of Queen Mother Zhao.

"Saint Boon."

As the imperial envoy, he cupped his hands to the side and said.

At this time, a woman wearing a lotus-colored fairy dress also stepped down from the carriage. Her graceful figure gave people the glamorous feeling of an exiled fairy who was left alone in the world. In fact, she was indeed a human fairy.

The indescribable aura on her body took away the sight of the people present, but unfortunately, the white veil hanging from her waist covered her waist, making it impossible for people to see her true face.

'Great practitioner! '

The heart of the governor of Guangping Mansion, who was bowing to salute, sank to the bottom of the valley. The woman who walked behind the young imperial envoy gave him a great sense of oppression. He knew that the queen mother who had sent two teams of personnel in succession had become really angry.

"Zhao Qinchao has worked hard all the way. The hospital has prepared a reception banquet. Please come to the city with me to rest and clean up the dust."

After some courtesies, the governor of Guangping Mansion walked up to Zhao Cuo with a smile. He actually disdained the young lucky minister in his heart, but he could only bow his head.

"Liu Yue, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, accepts the order!"

Zhao made a mistake and said loudly like an imperial envoy.The minister of the Ministry of Industry was the official who was sent by the queen mother to Guangping Mansion to control the overall situation before him, and he had to contribute to the water control.

"The minister is here."

A middle-aged strong man came out.

"The empress dowager is ordered to order Liu Yue, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, to manage the floods in Guangping Mansion, and follow the orders of the imperial envoy Zhao Cuo."

Zhao Qinchao then took out the second Yizhi.

"The governor of Guangping Mansion lied to his superiors and subordinates! Delayed flood control and disaster relief matters, he was dismissed from office and handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

The governor of Guangping Mansion palely accepted the Yizhi from Zhao Cuo's hand.This is the supreme majesty of the imperial power, you have to be grateful even if you have a knife.

Zhao Cuo then took out two more decrees to dismiss the Governor of Hedao and the Governor of Guangping Mansion for investigation.

So far, the power of a government has completely fallen into his hands.

"What is the current situation in Hanoi County and its surrounding areas?"

Zhao Cuo asked Liu Yue, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, who was also an imperial envoy.

"The lower officials have already ordered people to do their best to seal the gap in the dam. The water situation is under control for the time being, and disaster relief work has also begun."

"This officer is going to Hanoi County now."

Mr. Zhao Xiaogong nodded and said, he would not dare to neglect this kind of incident where tens of thousands of people were affected by disasters, and he also wanted to see if the victims were properly relieved.

"Young Master Zhao can't do it!"

Liu Yue, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly stopped him. He was also dispatched from Xiang Jing, and he knew the status of this young master in the heart of the queen mother.If envoy Zhao Qin had made that mistake, he would definitely be in bad luck.

"The civil servants recruited by the lower officials bravely fought the flood on the dam in Hanoi County, and the embankment is still in danger of collapse. Grandpa Zhao Xiaogong must not put himself in danger."

"Does Liu Shilang think that the Empress Dowager sent me here to consume food?"

Zhao Cuo frowned and shouted.

"lead the way!"

"Yes……"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry had no choice but to order someone to bring the horses.

"Also ask Master Chu to protect me thoroughly."

Zhao Cuo spoke to the mature woman beside him.Once the dam collapsed, he really wasn't sure that he would be able to escape the flood with his third-level cultivation.

"Ah."

Chubiezhi responded softly.

"Set off."

Zhao got on his horse by mistake and followed Liu Yue and other officials towards Hanoi County.At this time, the rain was not so fierce, but the sky was still gray at noon.

As the fast horse galloped, the scene he saw gradually became shocking. The ground was flooded with sewage that submerged the horseshoes, and there were ruins of houses being washed away everywhere.

Going forward, you can see many civilian husbands collecting corpses that can be seen everywhere under the command of officials.

"The next official sees the imperial envoy!"

Zhao Cuo stopped at the place where the victims gathered, and glanced at the naked people in front of the gruel shed. This desolate scene made him a little speechless.

"How many soup kitchens like this are there?"

He asked the saluting officials.

"There are four places in the surrounding area. In the past few days, few victims have starved to death. We are doing our best."

"few?"

Zhao Cuo squinted his eyes and got off his horse, and the servant of the Ministry of Industry quickly followed him, and followed him to the porridge shed.

"Is Quang Binh Mansion short of food?"

He grabbed the spoon from the gruel steward and stirred it a few times in the large cauldron of the widow, then turned to look at Liu Yue, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, and asked with a frown.

"The crops in Quang Binh Mansion failed last year, and now the granary is almost bottomed out. This flood has scared many people who have not been affected by the disaster and started stockpiling grain to prevent disasters. Merchants are also hoarding goods one by one. Even with silver, it is difficult to buy grain."

Liu Yue said with an embarrassed face.

"Ugh……"

Zhao Cuo picked up the rice bag placed in the porridge shed with a heavy face, and poured most of it into the pot without saying a word, then slowed down and said to Liu Yue:

"Please, Liu Shilang, tell all the soup kitchens to serve at least this kind of porridge. No matter how much boiling water you drink, you will still starve to death. I will find a way to solve the food problem."
