One Piece: My Son is Garp

"You said that the silver in the treasury is not allowed to be approved without the instructions of His Royal Highness the Prince, so I said to you that the Xishan Province was the hardest hit this time, and the imperial court really had no silver before, and the repair of the embankment could only be postponed, but now that there is silver, I ask you to come to meet His Highness together and talk about the benefits and disadvantages, so that His Highness can approve the silver, and repair the embankment as soon as possible, so that fewer people will be affected.

"But what do you say? You say that my batch of documents is asking for a sky-high price, in order to fill my own pocket!"

"I Guan Zhiwei was twenty-two years old in the imperial examination, twenty-three years old into the official career, now it has been 18 years, I dare not say that the hard work is high, but the industry has never dared to have the slightest greed and self-interest, at least it can be called a clean breeze on both sleeves, my name in my life, if you are dirty, what face do I have to see His Royal Highness, see my father and fellow villagers!?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Chen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Do you want to fight again?"

Li Chen's cold words calmed down Guan Zhiwei and Xu Changqing.

The two of them were like defeated roosters, hanging their heads and not daring to speak.

Xu Changqing, Li Chen had asked Dongchang to investigate before.

has the ability and the character is okay, and he is one of the few available people in the court, so Li Chen's plan is to observe for a while, and then let Xu Changqing take the position of the head of the household department.

This is in charge of the treasury and is in charge of the important position of the imperial court's money bag, and it is impossible for Li Chen to let people who are not at ease go up.

And Guan Zhiwei, Li Chen doesn't know much about him.

It also takes time to let the East Factory check.

However, there are some details that can be seen immediately.

Guan Zhiwei's only remaining boot is worn a lot, and at a glance, he knows that he has been wearing this pair of boots all year round, and the foot that lost the boots is only wearing socks, although the socks are still neat, but they are also washed, obviously his life is not rich.

In this way, Li Chen's anger calmed down a little.

"Bring the approval document from the Ministry of Industry.

Seeing this, Guan Zhiwei immediately took out the official document and respectfully sent it to Li Chen's desk.

He also used half of his teeth to explain in a leaky voice: "Your Highness, this time the main thing is to repair the two embankments that are still persisting, Wei Chen has personally visited the scene, the water is almost parallel to the embankment, the embankment is under great pressure, there are cracks and leaks everywhere, and now it is all up to the nearby officers and soldiers and disaster victims to repair it spontaneously."

"But without a complete repair and reinforcement, it is only a matter of time before the dam fails."

"Once these two dikes burst, the flood will cover at least four or five hundred miles, and the lives of more than 100,000 people in three county towns, dozens of villages, and more than 100,000 people will all be maintained on these two dikes."

Li Chen looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the heavier his mood became.

The reality is indeed as Guan Zhiwei said, once these two dam failures are added, the Xishan Province, which is already the most severely affected, may be completely wiped out.

"This report is quite detailed, but the silver costs 800,000 taels?" Xu Changqing immediately interjected: "That is, Wei Chen also felt outrageous after reading this number, those two dikes were built by Daxing in three years, Wei Chen turned over the bottom file of the household, and it only cost 300,000 taels of silver in total, and he needed 800,000 taels for this repair, how can it be explained?"

Guan Zhiwei was angry, he pointed at Xu Changqing's nose and scolded: "You erection, don't speak indiscriminately if you don't know how to speak!
