Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 278 Li Chengqian Wants Ji Ming
"Ji Ming, go and order the soldiers in Bianzhou to prepare a large amount of dry firewood. These [-] corpses must be cremated as soon as possible. I really don't know if it's your luck or God's blessing on you. So far there has been no epidemic." Wang Pingan sighed road.

When Ji Ming heard Wang Ping'an's explanation, his face showed a dignified look. It was not a simple matter to cremate [-] corpses. Almost every corpse had their relatives here. After a rough count, there were About ten thousand people, if they don't agree, we can't forcibly cremate the corpse.

But it doesn’t work without cremation. The epidemic is not a simple cold and runny nose. It’s called an epidemic. It’s a plague-like illness. It can be called an epidemic. Or you can think that the epidemic is a plague. Once the plague spreads , then those who occupy the infection will be close to death, and the speed of transmission is very fast, and the incidence of disease is also very fast.

The most important thing is the plague, which cannot be cured by ordinary doctors, and the death rate is extremely high. Sometimes a plague can destroy the people of a city, and even a country can be destroyed by it.

Ji Ming's current choice is a rational and emotional choice. Burning the corpse is a very rational decision, but not burning the corpse is an emotional choice.

Is it for the safety of all the victims and the entire Bianzhou City military and civilians, or for the feelings of the relatives who took care of the three thousand corpses? The answer is obvious. As long as his head is not kicked by the donkey, he must choose the former, for everyone Burn the body.

Ji Ming resignedly went to the guard of Bianzhou City, told them the importance of the matter, and asked them to organize manpower and prepare all the firewood.

When the guard heard that the corpse might cause a plague, he quickly dispatched his soldiers to cut firewood or buy firewood. In short, he tried every means to transport the dry firewood to the corpse, and then burned the corpse.

Ji Ming returned to Wang Ping'an and Li Chengqian again, and asked, "My lord, I have notified the Bianzhou guard and told him the importance of the matter. Should we appease the victims now?"

"Well, that's right. I thought of appeasing the tourists, so I'll leave this matter to you. I'm very optimistic about you." Wang Pingan said with a smile.

Li Chengqian also added fuel to the flames: "That's right, Gu is also very optimistic about you. Wang Ping'an said that you are a rare talent. If you want, you can come to Chang'an to find Gu. The gate of the East Palace is open for you at any time."

"Thank you for your trust, His Royal Highness, as long as His Royal Highness needs, the next official can follow you now, and take care of you." Ji Ming said excitedly.

Ji Ming felt as if he had been sold to the prince by Wang Pingan, but he didn't reject this feeling at all. It may be because he was born in an official family, which made him have a desire for power, and because he was smart since he was a child, and he knew how to get better. Take power quickly.

So he designed a method that even his family thinks is very feasible, that is, to train in the local area for a few years, and then go to Chang'an to seek refuge with a certain big man in the court. I believe that with his own wisdom, he will definitely succeed. gain power.

Wang Pingan looked at Li Chengqian and Ji Ming in surprise. He praised Ji Ming in front of Li Chengqian, purely to appreciate his intelligence and adaptability. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian listened to it and recruited Ji Ming in front of him today, and Ji Ming also He also readily agreed, which surprised him very much.

After listening to Ji Ming's reply, Li Chengqian said happily: "Okay, as long as this disaster relief is over, you can go back to Chang'an with Gu. There is still a prince Xianma missing in the East Palace. Gu will ask for it with the emperor. Your performance It will directly affect your father's impression of you, do you know?"

"Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty, I know." Ji Ming clasped his hands.

"You go and arrange the cremation now, then go back to the governor's mansion, hand over the official affairs of Bianzhou, and then go outside the city gate and stay by Gu's side." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes."

Ji Ming responded excitedly, and then went to report the situation to the families of the [-] corpses.

"Prince, you are really quick to attack Hai. I just told you that he is a talent, and you recruited him. Don't you plan to investigate?" Wang Pingan asked Li Chengqian when he saw that Ji Ming had gone far away. road.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I don't doubt that people don't need people, and I don't doubt people who employ people. The most important thing is that the people you Wang Ping'an praises must be talented and know people. If you don't recruit now, it will be a while. You must know that the East Palace has always been short of talents. It is rare to have one." If an evildoer praises a person, will Gu let him go?"

"Then it looks like I won't be able to praise others in front of you anymore." Wang Pingan sighed. He didn't believe Li Chengqian's nonsense that there would be no talents in the Prince's Mansion. If he told anyone, he wouldn't believe it.

They all know that the emperor will cultivate a group of talents for his prince or leave a group of talents for him to use after he ascends the throne. This is the so-called emperor and courtier.

Wang Ping'an and Li Chengqian looked in the direction where Ji Ming was.I saw him persuading the excited family members with both hands, feet and words.

At the beginning, because of Ji Ming's words, the family members of the victims yelled loudly at Ji Ming, and even rolled up their sleeves to rush to beat Ji Ming.

Then I don't know what Ji Ming said again, those impulsive family members quieted down, and then nodded one by one, some lowered their heads and sighed, and some women covered their mouths and wept softly.

Immediately after Ji Ming appeased the family members for a while, he turned to find the Bianzhou guard and told them to get ready and wait for his order.

He ran back to Li Chengqian, cupped his hands beside him and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates have calmed down the people, can you light the fire?"

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Wang Ping'an, and asked for his opinion with his eyes.

Seeing Wang Ping'an's chin slightly, Li Chengqian said excitedly: "Order it right away, let me know, cremate each corpse separately, hand over the ashes to their families, and send ten coins to each family. A little thought."

"promise."

Watching Ji Ming leave again, Wang Pingan joked again: "Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness has prepared a small private treasury for this disaster relief. Tell me, how much money did you bring?"

Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: "It's broken, I accidentally revealed my secret." But he said: "Ping'an, you're joking, how can Gu have any private treasury? That's when the mother heard that Gu was coming to rescue the disaster. So it was transferred from his private treasury to a lonely one. In case of a rainy day.”

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "The empress loves the prince very much!" This reminded him that he was an orphan without father and mother in his past and present lives, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

This trace of sadness was caught by Li Chengqian, thinking that he was thinking about his mother, so he said: "Ping An, don't worry, Gu will do everything possible to restore your memory and find your family."

Wang Pingan knew that he had misunderstood, but he did not correct it, and his concern for Li Chengqian gave him a great impression of Li Chengqian, which also made Wang Pingan help Li Chengqian sit on the dragon chair.

He said: "I can take my time. The most important thing now is the arrangement of these victims."

Li Chengqian looked at these victims and said: "Just follow your method in Puzhou, solicit donations from wealthy businessmen, ask the victims to work, and use work as a substitute for relief. The remaining labor will be organized again to dig rivers and dredge rivers."

Wang Ping'an looked at Li Chengqian with satisfaction, and said: "The prince has learned something when he came out this time, but His Highness just learned to copy it, but never considered it from practical issues."

"What do you mean by that?" Li Chengqian asked puzzled.

Wang Ping'an patiently explained: "Basically, the people in Bianzhou are already standing here, and those with some wealth have already fled. How could they stay here. There are no businessmen left at all, and now the water level has receded. But their homes have been destroyed, what we have to do is to help them rebuild their homes."

"Rebuild their home? Gu also wants to help them rebuild their home, but it's not easy?" Li Chengqian sighed.

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "It's easy to say it's simple, but it's also difficult to say it's difficult."

"So, Ping An, you already have an idea, can you tell Xu Gu."

"After the cremation is over, gather everyone together, and let's hold a meeting and call all the officials in Bianzhou." Wang Ping'an said.

"That Inspector Ji Ningji probably doesn't have the face to see you now." Li Chengqian laughed.

Wang Ping'an snorted and said, "You have to come even if you have no face. This is Bianzhou's business. As the governor, how can you not come? You go tell Ji Ming, call his elder brother, and have a meeting outside the city at night. I will sort out the meeting at night. materials." After speaking, he left Li Chengqian and left.

Li Chengqian curled his lips. If someone talked to him like that, he would try his best to screw his head off. Only Wang Pingan would not get angry when he was pushed back and forth. He would just smile helplessly and then do it. what he commanded.

In front of the temporary crematorium, Ji Ming was instructing the soldiers to throw the corpses one by one into piles of fires. After the fires were completely burnt, he ordered the ashes to be put into the columbarium and handed over to his family members. .

After seeing Ji Ming, Li Chengqian listened to Wang Ping'an's words and observed him carefully in order not to disturb him, so he watched Ji Ming's every move not far away.

Finally, he found out that every time he gave the ashes to the family members, he also gave the family members twenty coins, which was different from the ten coins he said.

Two hours later, all the corpses were cremated. Li Chengqian walked up to Ji Ming and said lightly: "Ji Ming, after you are done with the work here, go to the city to inform Ji Jishi, and bring all the officials to a meeting outside the city. Negotiate disaster relief matters."
