The farm girl has a field and is super powerful

Chapter 332 Are You Kidding Me?

At first, the torrential rain just blocked everyone at home, unable to go out.

Later, because the torrential rain was so heavy, it seemed as if the sky had leaked, flooding the homes of many people.

This is not bad, but for hundreds of villages in more than ten or twenty counties in the Yuzhou area, that is the real disaster.

Especially those farmhouses with their backs against the mountains, because of the continuous torrential rain, all the dirt and stones in the mountains were washed down.

The slide of the mudslide brought the rolling rocks in the mountain down together, injuring many innocent villagers.

After some villagers saw this situation, they took the elderly and children at home overnight and wanted to go out to take refuge, but when they were walking on the road, they were blocked by mudslides and rolling stones.

There was crying and howling in the village, and the torrential rain was still falling non-stop, tirelessly.

The people couldn't leave the village, so they had to stay at home, climb on the roof, and wait for the rescue from the government.

As far as the eye can see, the originally peaceful and quiet village is now covered with a vast ocean, with clothes, cabinets, furniture, and even the corpses of cattle and sheep floating on the water.

Many of the dilapidated houses were washed away by the torrential rain and the flood from the mountain, and many people were swept away by the water.

Officials in various townships and counties were also stunned by the sudden torrential rain, and then various news of floods came.

They anxiously began to deal with the flood problem. As for the people in the townships and villages, they sent officials to investigate.

As a result, the officials who went there were also blocked on the road and could not enter the village. They had no choice but to wait for the rain to stop.

The torrential rain fell for three full days. After three days, the rain stopped, but the sky was still gloomy and tight, with no sign of clearing up.

Officials in Yuzhou invited special personnel to check, and the person who inferred the weather said that it would still rain in two days at most.

The magistrate of Yuzhou who heard the news was really worried.

Why is there such a disaster at this time?

Seeing that the rice in the field should be harvested in less than half a month, but at this time a heavy rain came.

Not to mention that most of the fields were destroyed, how many people in the villages were homeless because of the heavy rain this time.

As for the people who were washed away and died because of the heavy rain, the localities have not yet counted them.

At this time of desperation, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court said that he would return to Beijing to return to his order as soon as the weather improved.

Knowing that Zhao Gancheng and the others were leaving, the prefect of Yuzhou was afraid that they would report the current situation in Yuzhou, so he hurried over to stop them.

The imperial court also assessed the magistrates in various places. If the local weather is good, the harvest is good, and the tax revenue is normal, then after they have stayed in the local area for a long time, and if they have connections in the capital, they can be transferred to the capital after their term of office expires.

If there is a problem during this period, it is very likely to affect the official career.

After all, officials are not the same, and some people want to pursue official careers, just like the prefect of Yuzhou, so he is most afraid of this situation being known by the court.

There are also some people who are down-to-earth and sincere, and care about the people, and will truthfully report all major events in the area under their jurisdiction, such as Fang Shi.

"Master Zhao, stay here. The next official has something to discuss with Master Zhao."

"What's the matter, Prefect Li?" Zhao Qiancheng looked at the prefect of Yuzhou and asked.

"Master Zhao, I don't know how you plan to report the rainstorm in Yuzhou this time?"

"Naturally, I will tell His Majesty truthfully that Yuzhou needs to be rescued by the imperial court after three days of heavy rain," Zhao Qiancheng said.

"Master Zhao, this time is inappropriate." The magistrate of Yuzhou shook his head repeatedly.

"What's the reason?" Zhao Gancheng asked him.

"My lord, you should know that once floods are found in various regions and districts, they should promptly send a water report to the imperial court as soon as possible, and at the same time notify the people in the capital water supervision department to deal with the disaster according to the flood situation.

Now three days have passed since the torrential rain disaster, and my lord has missed these three days. If His Majesty finds out, I don't know what His Majesty will think. "The magistrate of Yuzhou said.

"Prefect Li! Why didn't you come and tell me about such an important matter on the first day?" Zhao Gancheng asked angrily when he heard this.

"My lord, please calm down! On the first day of the rainstorm, the officials went to find your lord. His personal attendant said that your lord drank too much the day before and had a headache, so he couldn't meet people.

The lower official was still busy dealing with the flood, so he didn't have time to go to the lord, and it was delayed all the time.The lower officials thought that the adults were very familiar with these situations, but they only learned about them today. "

"You!" Hearing these words, Zhao Qian was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

How could he fail to understand that these words were clearly just false statements made by the magistrate of Yuzhou.

In three days, I couldn't spare a quarter of an hour to come and talk to him about this matter. It was clear that he didn't want to talk about it, and he just wanted to drag him into the water.

"Master Zhao, don't be angry. Now that something has happened, we should think about how to solve this matter is the best policy." The magistrate of Yuzhou said.

"Then what is the opinion of the prefect?" Zhao Qiancheng said in a bad tone.

"Lord Zhao, what do you think of this? The book you wrote earlier was very good, so I handed it over to His Majesty. In this way, the affairs of Yuzhou will not be implicated on the Lord."

"Master Zhifu, are you kidding me? If His Majesty knows the real disaster situation in Yuzhou, I will be guilty of not reporting the situation." Zhao Qiancheng sneered.

"Lord Zhao, please trust me. I won't let anyone reveal the situation in Yuzhou.

Besides, the torrential rain has stopped now, and the next official will try his best to deal with the aftermath of the disaster, and will never let this matter get out.As long as His Majesty doesn't know, then everything will be fine. "The magistrate of Yuzhou said.

"Master Zhifu, you are really courageous. In the whole world, is it possible that there is something that His Majesty doesn't know?" Zhao Gancheng still resisted.

"Master Zhao! Have you ever heard a saying that the emperor is far away from the mountain! Our Yuzhou is so far away from the capital, and now it's raining again, the news can't get through for a while.

The lower officials in Yuzhou have the final say, as long as the lower officials make arrangements to unify the caliber and settle down the people, what can go wrong?
Even if something goes wrong later on, my lord can just push everything to the lower officials.

Your Excellency can completely say that you rushed to the capital before the rainstorm, and you didn't know about it at all. If that's the case, His Majesty will naturally not blame you for your negligence, will you? "

Hearing these words, Zhao Gancheng couldn't help but start to think.

This was the first task His Majesty entrusted to him. If he failed to handle such a small task, he would not only embarrass his father, but also disappoint His Majesty.

If everything is as it is in the brochure, if Yuzhou does not leak the news, and they can handle this matter perfectly, then it is really the best way for him.

Moreover, the prefect of Yuzhou gave him a very good excuse. If something happened, he could say that he didn't know about it.

"My lord Zhao, it rains every year and every place. It's just that the rain in Yuzhou is a little heavier this year. There is nothing special about it. If such a trivial matter is reported to His Majesty, what will His Majesty think?"

"Are you sure you can handle these things well?" Zhao Gancheng asked him.

"Of course! Xiaguan is the magistrate of Yuzhou. If something happens, Xiaguan will be the first one to suffer. Do you think Xiaguan will take his own life as a joke against the future?"

Hearing what the magistrate of Yuzhou said, Zhao Gancheng felt relieved.

Anyway, the previous notes are all written, and he can just hand them in when he returns to the capital.

He should pretend he didn't know about the flood.

"Well, if that's the case, you must do a good job of finishing after the disaster." Zhao Gancheng ordered.

"Yes, the subordinate understands."

"I'm leaving now, trying to get back to the capital as soon as possible, Mr. Zhifu, go get busy."

"Master Zhao, go slowly, the official also prepared a small gift for the old Mr. Zhao, and asked Mr. Zhao to send the official's wishes to you."

With that said, the magistrate of Yuzhou asked someone to carry out a box.

"Master Zhifu, what are you doing?" Zhao Gancheng frowned.

Before leaving, his father specifically told him not to accept bribes.

"Lord Zhao misunderstood. These are just some calligraphy and paintings collected by the officials in their spare time. They are not valuable things."

"Just calligraphy and painting?" Hearing this, Zhao Qiancheng raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, if Mr. Zhao doesn't believe it, just open it and have a look."

Thinking of his father's love for all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, Zhao Qiancheng moved his mind and collected these calligraphy and paintings.

After thanking the magistrate of Yuzhou, Zhao Gancheng took Lin Ziang on the road back to Beijing.

They had been delayed for three days because of the heavy rain.

Fortunately, they came at a relatively slow pace. Now that they are in a hurry, it is no problem to go back three days in advance.

At that time, he will be fine after reporting the situation to His Majesty.

It also happened to avoid the rainstorm time in Yuzhou.

As for Lin Ziang, because Zhao Qiancheng didn't add his name on the booklet, he has been brooding all the time.

He didn't talk to Zhao Gancheng much during the whole journey.

Even when Zhao Qiancheng gave him the calligraphy and painting received, he refused.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Gancheng suddenly felt that this person didn't know what to do.

After threatening him not to tell the story of this time, otherwise they would kill their Yong'an Hou Mansion, they cut off contact with Lin Ziang.

Lin Ziang went out excitedly, but got such a result.

Especially on the second day after returning to the capital, he heard that His Majesty was overjoyed because Zhao Gancheng had done a good job.

After the court praised him and gave him a lot of rewards, Lin Ziang fell ill with depression.

The reason why Zhao Qiancheng was praised by His Majesty is because of the note he wrote.

But now, Zhao Gancheng took the credit himself, and just didn't mention him, and even threatened him, which really made him angry.

But he has no way to resist, otherwise the whole Hou Mansion will be affected.

Not only that, but when he came back, he found that only his parents no longer recognized the existence of Lin Chenyuan, that's all.

As for the thorn in Lin Chenyuan's flesh, he is still alive and well, and those rumors have not had any impact on him.
