Chapter 93 Giant Pit【510】

An upright official who "asks for orders for the people" and "does not hesitate to disobey the court's orders for the benefit of the people" is rare in the world!

Even if there is such a seedling, he has already been suppressed by his superiors and was severely taught the way of being an official and a human being...

If anything, it would be a miracle.

Fangtang, the governor of Jiangzhou, happened to be outside the scope of this "miracle".

Although there are many difficulties in opening the official warehouse to release grain, since Dong Cheng personally took over the matter, the matter has come to an end for the time being and moved on to the next topic——

The great epidemic after the great catastrophe.

When talking about a pandemic, we think of doctors, medicinal materials, and of course death.

At the mention of medicinal materials, Zhu Xiuyuan and everyone present frowned again.

Because now the medicinal materials market in Jiangzhou is in chaos, filled with many fake medicines!
This is another huge pit!

What a coincidence, this huge pit was dug by Hua Chaoshi.

Because Hu Cao, the prefectural government official, was in charge of medicine, and the original Hu Cao who participated in the military affairs actually took orders from Hua Chao officials.

It took Dong Cheng two days to wrest back Hucao's power, but he didn't have time to rectify the medicinal materials market.

……

Everyone said something to each other, and after the discussion was completed, the next step was to deal with the sudden rise in water levels in the Yangtze River.

There is nothing to discuss about this. Jiangzhou City is close to the south bank of the Yangtze River. Every few years, it will experience the threat of the Yangtze River water level rising. The local officials know how to take precautions even if they close their eyes.

Therefore, looking at this "comprehensive" natural disaster, the only two difficulties are the collection of disaster relief food and the prevention of possible major epidemics after the disaster.

After the discussion is over, it’s time to assign tasks and organize people.

My father-in-law is very good at this and arranges the inside and outside properly.

The task arrangements were completed, and all the military officers and leaders of the third squad were ordered to leave. Only Zhu Xiuyuan stayed.

"Father-in-law, how sure are you about asking the governor to open the official warehouse to release grain?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

"My dear son-in-law, to be honest, I have no confidence at all." Dong Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The difficulty of this matter is probably comparable to dealing with the heavy rain and flood!"

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned, "Father-in-law, why is this?"

"There are two reasons for this. First, the laws of our State of Chen stipulate that local officials are not allowed to use the food in the official warehouse without authorization. Anyone who does so without authorization may be punished with death!"

"Second..." Dong Cheng checked the doors and windows of the prison room and saw that they were closed, so Dong Cheng continued: "There is quite a gap between me and the governor. The governor is very likely to use the laws of the state of Chen as an issue. Thus rejecting me!"

"This……"

Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless and couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.

There are too many twists and turns here, and Dong Cheng doesn't think Zhu Xiuyuan can come up with any good solutions.

So he said, "I'll give it a try and see what the governor says first."

"Oh!"

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded, frowning, brainstorming, and thinking hard about countermeasures.

……

...the other side.

After the discussion, Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian left together and went to Hua Chaoshi's long history room.

On the way, Wan Qian's face was full of confusion. He asked Hua Chaoshi why he recommended Dong Cheng to be the general manager of disaster prevention and relief?

Even if Hua Chaoshi doesn't take that position himself, he can still let Wan Qian come. Why should he give Dong Cheng an advantage?
Wan Qian is really puzzled.

After returning to the signing room, close the door.

Hua Chaoshi smiled and said: "Master Wan, please tell me why Dong Cheng also strongly recommended me?"

"Forehead……"

Wan Qian was dumbfounded.

Wan Qian has indeed not considered this issue, or even thought about it.

"Master Wan, do you know how I got Dong Cheng to accept the position of Commander-in-Chief? I don't hesitate to expose my own wounds!"

Wan Qian was confused again.

Right!

Why did Lord Changshi and Dong Cheng abandon the position of commander-in-chief?

That's obviously a good position to make money.

and many more!

Wan Qian shook his head, causing the fat on his face to "swing".

"Sir, is this position of commander-in-chief... a hot potato?" Wan Qian finally figured this out.

"That's right!" Hua Chaoshi chuckled, "Disaster prevention and relief work may seem like he has a lot of power, but in fact, he doesn't have the most critical power at all. The rest is easy to say, there is only one thing that can make Dong Cheng survive this natural disaster. In the middle, my head was broken and bloody!"

"My lord, what is it?"

"Food for disaster relief!"

"hiss!"

Wan Qian's eyes widened and he suddenly remembered something. He took a breath of air and looked at Hua Chaoshi with admiration.

Complimented: "Your Majesty, you still have a better move! Now there is no disaster relief food, and the food allocated by the court cannot arrive so quickly. Hey, Dong Cheng is in trouble this time!"

"Wrong, Dong Cheng can't be defeated yet." Hua Chaoshi said with a smile.

"Ah?" Wan Qian was confused again.

"If Dong Cheng is defeated, what good will it do to us?" Hua Chaoshi asked back and raised his eyebrows.

"Then... what are your plans, sir?" Wan Qian felt more and more that Lord Chang Shi was inscrutable, and he was filled with admiration.

"Master Wan, have you forgotten who owns the food in the five major charity warehouses in Jiangzhou..." Hua Chaoshi leaned over and whispered something into Wan Qian's ear.

After hearing this, Wan Qian was stunned at first, and then ecstatically said: "Sir, you are really smart! Taking this opportunity, we will empty out all the wealth in Dong Cheng's family!"
