Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The disaster victim saw his kind face and forced a smile, nervously saying, "Little one... Zhu Er, came from outside the city."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly caught sight of Du Shun wearing an official robe, and he was immediately terrified, kneeling on the ground and shouting, "Greetings, sir!"

Du Shun quickly said softly, "Get up, get up, the government just wants to ask you a few questions."

Zhu Er got up, cautiously looking around at everyone.

The other disaster victims also huddled together.

Emperor Jing asked, "Zhu Er, how is your life in the city?"

"Life? Life... it's okay, ah! Pretty good! Ah no, especially good!" Zhu Er was extremely nervous.

Emperor Jing said with a helpless expression, "It's okay, don't be nervous, just like chatting, say whatever you want!"

"Guo Tianyang!"

Guo Tianyang hurried over, holding a small package in his hand, which contained various kinds of pastries.

He quickly distributed them to the disaster victims in the alley.

When the disaster victims saw the exquisite pastries, their guard dropped considerably.

Zhu Er also calmed down and said, "Little one didn't lie, it's really pretty good."

"We have porridge to eat every day, so we're not too hungry. No one in the city chases us away, but we just don't have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

After speaking, Zhu Er looked at the pastry in his hand and couldn't help but lick his lips.

He raised his head and continued, "However, the government said! They will build houses for us, and we will be able to move in when it gets cold."

Du Shun looked at Zhu Er with appreciation and quickly interjected, "Yes, yes, yes! It's true!"

Before he could be happy for long, Zhu Er spoke again.

"But... little one is planning to save some grain to go to Jianjiang. I heard that people there already live in houses."

Meddlesome!

Du Shun's face fell again.

Emperor Jing smiled and said, "Okay, be patient and wait, the imperial court will definitely make your lives better."

As soon as the disaster victims heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him, then quickly kowtowed.

Emperor Jing felt a little sad when he saw this and turned to leave.

Du Shun silently followed beside him, secretly feeling relieved.

Fortunately! Everything is on track, and there is nothing that would displease His Majesty.

Fortunately, Liu Xun died early! Otherwise, seeing how much His Majesty values this, I would have been in trouble too.

"Du Shun, you have done well, We are very satisfied!"

"Be sure to repair the houses for the disaster victims before the temperature drops, and the matter of providing relief through work must also be promoted as soon as possible."

Emperor Jing looked at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but feel gratified.

He had seen many disasters, but to be able to handle such a large-scale disaster like this was already very good.

The officials all agreed.

Indeed, it was very good, and there was nothing to criticize.

How much better could it be?.

The houses were built relatively quickly, but how good of houses could be built for the disaster victims! Although this was a bit slower than Jianjiang, the flaws did not detract from the merits!

After strolling around for half a day, Emperor Jing looked around carefully and did not find any major mistakes.

Looking at Du Shun, he finally smiled and said, "Very good! The disaster victims have been handled properly, and the imperial court will reward you."

"We, are preparing to go to Jianjiang to see the so-called Jianjiang model. You arrange it first, and depart with Us tomorrow!"

Passed the test!

Du Shun was overjoyed and bowed to thank him, "Your subject, thank you for your Majesty's praise! I am unworthy!"

For a time, both the monarch and his subjects were all smiles.

In another part of the city, Shen Yi and others came here to gather news.

They kept shuttling through the city, and by the way, they talked to people about the Jianjiang model.

Suddenly, a companion ran back, covered in sweat.

He said repeatedly, "Something big has happened! Something big has happened!"

Shen Yi was also surprised to see this, "Don't worry! Catch your breath and then speak, what big thing has happened?"

"The dragon... the dragon carriage! I saw the dragon carriage outside the city!"

"The dragon carriage! ?" A group of reporters were shocked.

Shen Yi stood there in a daze. If there was a dragon carriage outside the city, then there was only one thing to say.

The Emperor has arrived in Yunlu!

Isn't Jianjiang just south of here?

"Quick! Hurry back and notify Lord Fang!"

.........

Inside the office, a group of disheveled reporters were explaining the situation to Fang Zheng.

After Fang Zheng heard this, he didn't have any special reaction.

He picked up the tea and took a sip, and said lightly, "So, His Majesty might come in a few days?"

Shen Yi looked extremely haggard and said weakly, "I don't know, we guess he might be coming."

Fang Zheng put down his teacup and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good! I have to thank you!"

"Must be rewarded!"

"After returning to the capital, I will reward each of you with a half-day paid vacation!"

Everyone was a little disappointed after hearing this. A half-day paid vacation was too stingy.

Fang Zheng frowned, what's going on! The employees' appetites are getting bigger and bigger! ?

"Ahem! I remember you! In the future, everyone will be promoted, and you are the most promising for salary increases! You are all talents! Work hard!"

"You are the great heroes of the newspaper! You will definitely be rated as excellent!"

"Thank you! Lord Fang!!"

After eating the cake, the reporters left with vigor.

Soon Xie Xian appeared in the office.

Fang Zheng began to explain the arrangements.

The top boss is personally inspecting the work, so we must receive him well!

"Lao Xie, His Majesty may be coming, so we have to prepare in advance."

Xie Xian's eyes were a little excited, "His Majesty is coming?"

Fang Zheng chuckled, "Official fanatic! You have been busy these past few days and have put in a lot of effort. It's not difficult for me to ask for an official position for you in front of His Majesty. Are you interested?"

Xie Xian quickly shook his head, "No need! I have been studying for so many years and have never seen His Majesty. Just taking a look will be a dream come true. After finishing this job, I will go back to the county for vacation."

Fang Zheng glared, "What is this job! Pay attention to your wording!"

"First, help me arrange a batch of yamen runners to guard the official road! Report one day in advance, don't let our own people go, if they don't wear official uniforms, they will be killed as assassins."

"The dormitory area outside the city, quickly get me some wooden boards to put up partitions! Eight people in a room! Now there are almost eighty people in a room, are we raising pigs?"

Xie Xian wondered, "Oh, it's pretty good, sir. Those workers don't know how lively it is."

"If we put up partitions, I guess many people will have opinions."

"I don't care! Anyway, you have to put them up for me. I have long been dissatisfied with the dormitories built by that group of bastards."

"Also, the crime in the city must be severely cracked down! Strengthen patrols, has Zhou Tie recovered from his illness? Come to the yamen to get a set of clothes and patrol the streets for me."

"The food for those workers, let those rich merchants handle it well for me! Don't just give the workers plain rice with clear soup, get some fatty meat! They always fool people with lean meat, take this opportunity to rectify it!"

"Also, help me find a group of pretty children, and set a set of clothes for each person, that clothes, ah, should be like this...."

Xie Xian was speechless. After writing it down, he looked up and said, "Sir, we have used this trick before."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, "It's okay! Old tricks, new arrangements! Also, get me a group of pigeons, and put up more couplets in the city, something festive, just like celebrating the New Year."

"Tsk, this time I'll arrange a band, I'll discuss it with Master Wu."

"You go find Lao Qi to customize a....."

"Let those idle people on the street find an invisible place to nest, don't wander around on the street, and those who are not honest will be thrown into the prison to live in first."

"Also, the school is the most important thing! When studying, you must have the appearance of studying! Everyone should shout at the top of their lungs! Don't whisper there, passers-by will think it's a holiday."

"The food in the school should also be improved and fixed during this opportunity. When they are growing, get more eggs."

At this point, Fang Zheng stopped.

Xie Xian lowered his head and quickly recorded everything. After recording everything, he looked up and asked, "I have recorded everything, is there anything else, sir?"

Fang Zheng pondered for a while, and said slowly, "Yes, the last one, the most important one."

"We are here to provide disaster relief, and the disaster victims have been arranged pretty well, but there are still people who can't get enough to eat."

"It's okay if they can't get enough to eat, but no one can be allowed to starve to death!"

"At this critical moment, I don't care how he dies, whether he commits suicide by jumping off a building, is hit by a carriage, or dies of illness."

"In short, no one can starve to death! Do you understand?"

"Understood."
