Ming politicians

() Disaster relief work requires a lot of details, and requires a lot of manpower to coordinate and command. <>

The focus of disaster relief in Henan is in Mengjin County.

After serious consideration, Su Tiancheng made a decision. Of the more than 100 soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion, 100 people will be left to guard the government's disaster relief money and supplies, and the rest will all go down to help with disaster relief matters.

When the disaster relief was just started, the biggest thing was to let the victims and refugees have food to eat, and they couldn't continue to starve to death when the relief money from the imperial court had already arrived here.The next step is to prevent the spread of disease.Only after stabilizing the emotions of the common people can we talk about other things.

This time cannot be too long, at most five days, it is necessary to stabilize the emotions of the victims and refugees.

Yan Zizhang did some things, but Su Tiancheng, who was well versed in the methods, still found a problem.

Yan Zizhang is not familiar with local work, so he often stays in the county government, listens to reports from various parties, makes arrangements and arrangements, and then the local officials carry out the execution.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this approach, but as the censor of disaster relief, he did not go to the front line to check the situation, to see if the victims and refugees are really full, how their bodies are, and whether their emotions are stable , What are the needs, and relying on one's own imagination to carry out disaster relief work, it is somewhat effective in getting twice the result with half the effort.

When Su Tiancheng arrived in Mengjin County, he was naturally the main person in charge.

After arguing with Yan Zizhang, Su Tiancheng decided everything.

Every morning at Mao, many officials gather in the county government office.After arranging tasks, each will do his own thing.

Su Tiancheng was not idle.Work tasks do not need to be arranged every day, but you can listen to the report on the main situation in half an hour in the morning, grasp the progress of the disaster relief work, and make targeted adjustments or arrangements.

At the second quarter of Mao, he took the people down, after dark.He will come back, and if he doesn't come back in time, he will entrust Yan Zizhang to preside over the next morning's report.

People always have to eat, and Su Tiancheng is no exception.

The situation of eating and drinking did not exist until hundreds of years later, it is as prevalent today.

In order to avoid such a situation, Su Tiancheng confronted the soldiers of Xiaoqi Battalion.Including the officials involved in disaster relief, they put forward a clear request that all officials who go down to do coordination work must bring their own food, and they can borrow firewood stoves from ordinary people, and they are not allowed to eat.It is not allowed to increase the burden on the people, and those who violate it will be dealt with severely.The local chiefs and chieftains are not allowed to entertain them, and they are not allowed to make clever names to increase the burden on the victims.

August eleventh.

At the second quarter of Mao shi, Su Tiancheng took Wang Dazhi, Deng Hui and more than ten sergeants from the Xiaoqi Battalion with him.Came outside the city.

This has become a habit, every morning to take a look outside the city.Then go to the country.It's just that with the extension of the road, sometimes it is difficult to return to the county town on the same day.

The porridge field had been prepared long ago, but the common people still did not get up.

Su Tiancheng frowned. For several days in a row, all he saw was this scene. He couldn't understand why he couldn't get up early as a disaster victim.

After a general look, nothing unusual was found, Su Tiancheng led more than ten people, straddled towards the official road.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he shook his head. He felt that he should not be too accommodating to the victims. He should get up early every day. There are thousands of victims and refugees living outside the city. These people are all going to participate in rebuilding their homes. If you maintain this style of work, you don't know how lazy you will be in the future. The imperial court's disaster relief is only one aspect, and the focus of rebuilding your home depends on yourself.

Turning the horse's head, he didn't speak, and headed towards the city gate with a whip.

Seen from afar, the outside of the city has become lively.

For some reason, Su Tiancheng stopped suddenly.

He was a little skeptical, all this was too strange, why did the porridge market start to be bustling just after he left, it took less than half an hour before and after, could it be that there was something strange in it.

Leaving two sergeants behind to guard the horse, Su Tiancheng led the others and walked slowly.

In front of a shed, there were quite a few disaster victims lined up, holding earthen pots in their hands, waiting for porridge.

Walking straight to the front, Su Tiancheng looked at the porridge and rice in the barrel, his expression changed quickly, and the expressions of the people following him also changed.

This is not considered porridge, porridge is not even counted, it is almost like rice soup, there is no food to be seen, when you come in the morning, the porridge and rice that everyone sees, let alone stand up chopsticks, it is almost impossible to insert the chopsticks.

The person who scooped up the porridge didn't know Su Tiancheng, and was still talking loudly about queuing up and coming one by one.

Su Tiancheng's face turned pale, and the sergeant beside him quickly moved, and quickly went to the temporary kitchen.

A fat middle-aged man was directly brought over by the sergeant.

Soon there were disaster victims around, and some of them followed all the way to Mengjin County, met Su Tiancheng, and knew that he was the inspector censor sent by the imperial court to relieve the disaster.

"Are you directly responsible here?"

The middle-aged man nodded hastily, his body was already shaking.

"I would like to ask you a few questions. First, did you arrange for the victims not to get up early? Second, where did the leftover food go due to the effect of porridge and rice? Third, since the imperial court relief began, Is it like this every day?"

There was silence all around.

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, unable to speak a word.

Su Tiancheng said coldly to Wang Dazhi beside him.

"Dazhi, please come here with all the officials of the Mengjin county government office, and bring Shangfang's sword."

When the magistrate rushed over with many officials, his face was pale, and he was supported by the officials below before he arrived at the scene.

The kneeling middle-aged man saw the magistrate coming, as if he saw a savior, he opened his mouth quickly.

"Uncle, please help me, I won't dare again..."

The middle-aged man's shout made Zhixian collapse, and everything in front of him didn't need to be explained.

Seeing this scene, Su Tiancheng understood.

From furious to calm, he quickly soothed his emotions.At this moment, if the magistrate is investigated.A large number of people will inevitably be involved, and the disaster relief work may be greatly affected. After all, the officials of the county government are familiar with the specific situation, and the situation in front of them can only deal with this middle-aged man.

Besides, it's investigation and processing.It is not necessarily possible to implicate officials.

"Lord magistrate, I have repeatedly emphasized that we must love the people like our own children and care about the victims of the disaster. I never thought that such a situation would happen. How do you think about it?"

"Damn the lower officials, I don't know what happened. The lower officials must investigate strictly, investigate strictly..."

"You don't need to strictly investigate, I will deal with it now, Dazhi, please Shangfang's sword."

The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground realized that something was wrong.He wanted to continue yelling, but unfortunately, the sergeant beside him had already skillfully removed his jaw, making him speechless.

Su Tiancheng picked up Shangfang's sword and pointed it to the north.I prayed three times.

"Fellow folks, I will remove silverfish for you today."

"This person dares to embezzle food. The crime is unforgivable. The official has repeatedly emphasized that the villagers must have enough to eat. This person is bold and reckless, openly confronting it. If the official did not notice it today, he would not know that the villagers are still not full. Still suffering, this is also my official's dereliction of duty, it is the dereliction of duty of the county government officials, I implore all folks to forgive."

"If these scumbags are tolerated, disaster relief matters cannot be carried out, and this official is also ashamed of the high expectations of the emperor."

After saying this, Su Tiancheng handed the Shangfang sword to Wang Dazhi.

"cut."

The head fell to the ground, and a stream of blood spurted out.

The surrounding area became even quieter.

Su Tiancheng spoke coldly to the county magistrate.

"Lord magistrate, reassign someone to be in charge here. If the porridge and rice can't meet the requirements of the official, you will be the next person to be killed. All the family property of this person will be confiscated and used for disaster relief. The porridge fields in other places will If there is a problem, I will ask for you, how to arrange the scheduling, you should think carefully."

"I am here today, and I request again that no matter whether it is the disaster relief personnel from the imperial court or the disaster relief officials from the prefectures and counties, you are not allowed to harass the local people, you are not allowed to touch the people with stitches, you are not allowed to eat, and you are not allowed to increase the number of people." Anyone who dares to violate the following burdens will be beheaded regardless of the reason."

Murder was originally a bloody scene, but the victims around them didn't feel afraid. On the contrary, they didn't say a word. They looked at Su Tiancheng. Many victims had gone through too many ups and downs and suffered a lot of insults. Anyone with any official position scolded and scolded them, but the Su Tiancheng in front of him was the inspector censor sent by the imperial court. He cared so much about the victims. It seemed that they could really get out of the predicament this time.

His wife and nephew were beheaded on the spot, and the magistrate also woke up.

It seems that this inspector censor is definitely not something that can be fooled at will. If such a problem occurs again, maybe he is really dead. It is even more serious, even directly depriving the victims of food and silver, and doing nothing at all, leaving the victims to fend for themselves.

Su Tiancheng thought more.

The so-called killing chickens for monkeys to watch, I can only do this. I think this kind of scene has appeared everywhere. It’s nothing special. I just found it. If it’s a big deal, I will reprimand it, ask for correction, or make it an exception, but I must not do this Otherwise, the following things will not be able to be done.

Maybe it's because they have seen the power of Shangfang's sword, or maybe no one thought that the inspector censor would be so serious. Anyway, from this day on, no one dared to think about what benefits they would get from the disaster relief money, let alone No one thinks that they can get some benefits from the materials, and everyone is doing things honestly.

Whether it is the victims near the county seat or the victims in the village, their faces are getting better day by day.

At this time, Su Tiancheng had more things to do.

The focus is still on rebuilding their homes, including making real benefits to the common people. The government's disaster relief money must be used on the common people, on the victims of the disaster, and cannot fall into the pockets of officials.

Thinking of relying on the system, the possibility is not great, and the system is also implemented by people.

His only way is to be strict and lead by example.The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. There are too many such things.

However, there must be problems in doing so, that is, a large group of people may be offended, and these people are precisely officials at all levels.

Su Tiancheng can't control so much, he is here for disaster relief, as long as he is still patrolling the censor, he must do his best to do his job well.

Regrettably, the silver allocated by the court this time cannot completely repair the Yellow River.
