Chapter 303 Life is impermanent (1)
"You are an imperial envoy for disaster relief, not a river worker, why did you get into the mud yourself?" Han Qian asked amusedly.

"This..." Jiang Jing scolded in his heart why a little girl is so talkative and harder to serve than the emperor, but she can't show it on the surface, and she can't say that she did it on purpose because she heard that the emperor would come. Looking at it from the outside, I had to pretend to explain: "Well, isn't this minister repairing the river for water control? I think that one more person will have more power to dredge the river earlier, and the people of Zezhou should do the same. Plow earlier..."

"But, aren't you an imperial envoy for disaster relief? You're not a river worker dredging mud. Is it necessary to make yourself look like this?" Han Qian interrupted Jiang Jing with a smile, walked up to Jiang Jing and the few people behind him. An official turned around, came back and asked Yun Shuo with a smile: "Fourth brother, the imperial envoys have all gone to work as river workers. Who will coordinate the overall situation and arrange for the victims to rebuild their homes? Is it true that only river workers are useful in disaster relief and river management?" ?"

Yun Shuo's face was gloomy and ugly.

Han Qian is right. As the imperial envoy for disaster relief, Jiang Jing has to make overall plans for all matters in the disaster area, such as reinforcement of dams, flood diversion, resettlement of victims, distribution of relief silver rice, etc. It can be said that the size of these counties in the disaster area Everything has to be under his control.

But the imperial envoy didn't plan for these things, but went to dig mud in the ditch with a shovel on his shoulders!Everyone understands the reason for this kind of thing, if it is not a flood in his mind, he is doing it deliberately for someone to see.

"Jiang Jing, since you are so keen on digging ditches, then you should be responsible for this matter." Yun Shuo said, turned around and glanced at Shao Juncong behind him, and said, "Juncong, you will take over Jiang Jing's disaster relief imperial envoy." responsibility."

Shao Juncong is the same age as Han Qian, but he is only a 14-year-old boy. If he goes to the battlefield with a weapon, he does have the kind of hard work that is not afraid of death, but disaster relief...

Jiang Jing greeted all the eight generations of the ancestors of the Han family in his heart, and then looked back at Shen Shangwen, the magistrate of Ze County, who was beside him.

Shen Shangwen also felt that this young general was definitely not a talent for disaster relief, so he stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, there are four counties in the flood-stricken area. Although General Shao was extremely brave in the battle, this disaster relief matter..."

"Why, do you think I can't employ people?" Yun Shuo asked coldly.

Shen Shangwen hurriedly bowed his head and said: "No, I dare not. I should die! Your majesty is wise and wise, so he naturally knows how to employ people. I just feel that General Shao has limited experience, and I'm afraid he doesn't know much about disaster relief. Please forgive me for these four For the sake of the people of this county!"

"Shen Shangwen, I'll give you a chance." Yun Shuo glanced at Shao Juncong, then at Shen Wen, and said, "I'm asking you, do you know how many victims there are in the four affected counties? How many of these victims are there?" How many people have returned home, how many are still living outside? How many injuries, how many orphans? Do you know how much relief rice, how much money, how much medicinal materials have been distributed by the imperial court this time? In the treasuries of the counties, how many have entered the pockets of you officials?!"

"Uh... this..." Shen Shangwen is only the county magistrate of Zezhou, and he doesn't know everything about his own county, let alone the four counties.

Yun Shuo turned to Shao Juncong and said, "Juncong, tell him."

Shao Juncong clapped his hands and answered "yes", then turned to Shen Wen and other officials kneeling on the ground and said: "The Jinhe River broke its embankment and caused four hardest-hit counties, with a total of 27 people affected, of which 850 14 people have received relief food and seeds and returned home, while others are still living outside. Of the more than 13 people living outside, 1000% are orphans, [-]% are orphans who lost their parents, and [-]% are Those who are seriously injured and seriously ill are still receiving treatment at the branch of the National Medical Center. In addition, [-]% of those who are missing can't be found. If these people can't be found, then it can be concluded that these people have died..."

With a cold face, Shao Juncong answered the questions raised by the emperor one by one. Finally, little general Shao looked at Shen Wen coldly, and said expressionlessly: "Master Shen, you can laugh at my youth, but you can't doubt your majesty's knowledge of people." vision."

"Yes, yes, I'm convicted. General Shao is extremely intelligent, and I really can't catch up with you." Shen Shangwen said hastily.

"Shao is not smart, and he has nothing special. The only thing Shao is better than you is that in this month, he has traveled all over the four counties affected by the disaster, including the congee sheds of the National Medical Center in the surrounding counties. I have obtained all the records and data related to disaster relief that His Majesty needs." Shao Juncong remained expressionless, and there was no sparkle in his quiet eyes.

"Yes." Shen Shangwen bowed helplessly, "I am convinced by General Shao."

Yun Shuo snorted coldly: "You people have been immersed in the officialdom for ten or even decades, thinking that you have understood the way of being an official. But you don't know that you have lost your conscience! You spend all day thinking about how to be superficial, how to please I like it, but I have never really considered the problem from the perspective of the common people."

"Your servant will be convicted." More than a dozen officials, big and small, kneeling on the ground bowed their heads together.

"Get up, now is not the time to plead guilty, what should you do!" Yun Shuo snorted impatiently, then looked at Jiang Jing again, "Jiang Jing, go and get your imperial envoy's seal and hand it over to Shao Juncong .”

"Yes." Jiang Jing kowtowed in reply.

Han Qian smiled at Shao Juncong, and said, "Master Shao, thank you for your hard work!"

Shao Juncong nodded slightly, but did not speak.

During the conversation between Yun Shuo, Shao Juncong, Jiang Jing and others, Mrs. He held her daughter's hand and stood by the side.

When she saw those adults who looked like clay figurines knelt down to the 'fourth master' and said long live, she was already frightened. She didn't hear what these people said at all.

After Jiang Jing and the others knelt down and got up to leave, Yun Shuo also turned around and got into the carriage, and Mrs. He was still standing there stupidly.

Han Qian stretched out his hand to give her a hand: "Sister-in-law He, let's go."

"Oh! Miss... No, princess! Damn my family, I don't know..." Mrs. He said, pulling her daughter to kneel on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Damn my family, I beg your princess to spare me..."

"What are you doing? Hurry up and get in the car. We still have to go to your town to see." Han Qian stepped forward to pull the He mother and daughter up, and sighed, "I didn't tell you before because I was afraid of inconvenience. Ah. Okay, okay! You can’t do this in front of others in the future! Your Majesty is making a private visit in a micro-service!” Han Qian purposely lowered her voice to a very low voice when she said the words “private visit in a micro-service”. Bian said: "Get up quickly, or His Majesty will be impatient and ask you about your crimes."

"Yes, yes yes..." Mrs. He hurriedly agreed and pulled her daughter up, and hurriedly got into the carriage behind.
