Chapter 207 Drought in Yun County (1)

This year's summer is extremely sweltering. Before the peak heat, the water has evaporated completely, and the sky has not rained for a long time.

Memorials about the drought in various places piled up like a mountain, and Yun County was the most serious, which really caused headaches for everyone in the court.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, the emperor pursed his lips and remained silent. Grand Tutor Gao and all the ministers had arrived, and they were also thinking hard about how to solve the drought.

This matter is really tricky, not only to go to the place, but also the money for disaster relief is a mess.Even if it is done well, the local officials will be offended. If it is not done well, not to mention, the emperor is the first to blame, and no one wants to take on the porcelain work.

After being silent for a long time, the emperor finally couldn't bear it any longer. He threw all the memorials of the drought on the ground and said angrily, "It takes a thousand days to raise soldiers, but each of you is silent when you reach the critical moment. What's the use of supporting you!"

"The emperor calm down."

"Calm your anger? Then you can solve the drought in these places first, especially in Yun County. The disaster funds I have allocated are enough for the people there to eat for a year, but the officials of Yun County still cry to me that they are not enough! I would like to know Is it like the officials of Yun County said that the people are too hungry to eat up the disaster funds, or are they being filled by their bastards!"

The emperor threw another memorial in front of everyone. Lu Boqi glanced at the scattered memorial and was speechless.

Can't those officials in Yun County find a better excuse?No matter how much the common people can eat, no matter how expensive the grain price is, they can’t finish eating the rice bought with 10 taels of silver in just one month!
Lu Boqi twitched his lips, picked up the memorial first, held it in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there is one person I can recommend. This person has read the books of sages and sages. He has always been jealous of evil. He will never see anything corrupt. If the Emperor appoints him As the imperial envoy, I will definitely be able to get to the bottom of the matter of Yun County's disaster funds."

"Who?" The emperor finally heard that there was someone available, and immediately stood up, walked up to Lu Boqi and asked.

"This person is Chao Yilang Wu Danqing."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, then scanned the crowd, and slowly paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Since none of you are willing to go, then I will order Wu Danqing to be the imperial envoy, and another two thousand elite soldiers will be sent to Yun County to investigate the disaster funds and bring my handbook. If any official has the intention of embezzling the disaster funds Prosecution, and the evidence is solid, there is no need to report it, and the law will be executed on the spot! Even if all the officials in Yun County are slaughtered, I don't believe that Gang Ji can't be wiped out!"

Sweat dripped from Gao Taifu's forehead immediately, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, absolutely not! If all the officials of Yun County are slaughtered, I am afraid that Chao Gang will be disturbed!"

It would be better not to say anything, as soon as Taifu Gao opened his mouth, the emperor immediately widened his eyes and shouted angrily, "So what about Tu Jin, could it be that Yun County is the only place that has talents in my great country?"

Gao Taifu opened his mouth, but was pulled by the Minister of Rites at the side, he was speechless immediately, and lowered his head.

Lu Boqi sneered in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, since the drought is urgent, please issue an order for Wu Danqing to go to Yun County immediately, but... Wu Danqing's official position is too low, I don't know if the officials of Yun County can buy it."

"If you want to be promoted to Wu Danqing's official position again, you can only wait until he returns from Yun County. He will be an imperial envoy anyway." The emperor thought for a moment, and then continued, "Why don't you go with Lu Aiqing, you don't need to do it yourself, as long as It’s enough to scare the officials from the sidelines. I want to see how capable Wu Danqing is.”

"Wei Chen takes orders."

The emperor sat back on the dragon chair, and Director Li had already polished the ink, so the emperor immediately drafted an imperial edict and handed it to Lu Boqi.

Lu Boqi received the imperial decree, glanced at the terrified Grand Tutor Gao, and walked straight out of the Hall of Qinzheng.

If he didn't expect, the matter of Yun County's disaster funds is inseparable from the ministers of the DPRK and China. If they can be wiped out this time, not only will Wu Danqing be able to make a fortune, but he must be the prime minister.

As for the emperor sending [-] elite soldiers to protect Wu Danqing, it was really beyond my expectation, so in this case, Wu Danqing has better use value.
