"Uncle, teacher, for being able to pacify Huazhou so quickly this time, you two deserve the greatest credit. I owe it to the people of Huazhou to thank these two veterans."

Li Chengqian raised his glass and drank it in one gulp. Seeing Li Chengqian drinking the glass of wine so happily, Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong looked at each other and drank a drink.

Changsun Wuji joked: "Your Highness must have drank a lot secretly. What would happen if the empress knew about this? What do you think, Shubao?"

"Haha, auxiliary machine, you are right." Qin Qiong also teased from the side, which made Li Chengqian touch his nose in embarrassment.

"The food from the Ministry of Household Affairs is coming soon. I believe there will be a lot of income from searching the Zheng Mansion. This will be enough for Huazhou's expenses."

Li Chengqian thought for a while and continued: "Lanshan was left in Zheng County by me. From today on, the Huazhou Army and Zuowuwei will be controlled by the teacher to help the victims and rebuild their homes. At the same time, we must pay attention to the public security of Huazhou to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity."

If you commit a crime and tell the soldiers about it, I will give you a heavy reward."

"Your Highness, don't worry."

"Uncle, the Huayin County Magistrate you mentioned is interesting." Li Chengqian raised his wine glass to toast the two of them, and Changsun Wuji drank the wine in the glass and thought for a while.

"Your Highness, this Wang Zhi was the magistrate of Huayin County in the seventh year of Wude. It is said that this man is a good man and loves the people like a son. What is interesting is that he likes to eat pickles like Hou Junji, and is known as Wang Pickles. As for the real

What the situation will be remains to be confirmed.”

"Well, seeing is believing. Anyway, we are going to visit Baishui and Huayin in the next few days. Let's also go and see this Wang Xiancai."

"Teacher, Huaiyu did a good job this time. He has the style of the teacher back then. He will definitely be a good general of our Datang in the future."

Qin Qiong smiled slightly. He was satisfied with Qin Huaiyu. His martial arts and military skills were all passed down by him. What he lacked was the opportunity for actual combat: "Your Highness has praised me, but the traitor is still far behind. I don't deserve your Highness's praise."

Qin Qiong's modesty made Changsun Wuji feel sad. Although he had more sons than Qin Qiong, when it came to ability, those boys could not compare with Qin Huaiyu.

Li Chengqian saw Changsun Wuji's disappointment and poured a glass of wine for Changsun Wuji: "Uncle, I feel aggrieved to my cousin Chong, who is in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Recently, my mother has been selecting attendants for the palace. I don't know if my uncle is here.

unwilling."

Hearing that Li Chengqian wanted to place Changsun Chong in the East Palace, Changsun Wuji was very happy. It seemed that his nephew was still close to his uncle, so he knew how to help his cousin.

It's not that he can't arrange a good position for his son. What he is happy about is Li Chengqian's attitude towards the eldest son's family. In the future, when Li Chengqian ascends the throne, a third-grade official will be indispensable for the prince's attendant, and the eldest grandson's family will also be able to thrive for a long time.

, Changsun Wuji’s face lit up with joy when he thought of this,

"The old minister will thank the empress and Your Highness on behalf of Quanzi"... The next day, Qin Huaiyu came to report to Zheng Kuan's mansion that he had copied out 100,000 gold and 200,000 shi of grain.

People in Huazhou are a little confused now. According to common sense, they should flee from such a natural disaster. After all, there is nothing to eat or shelter.

But everything changed overnight. The government officials were distributing relief grains to everyone, and at the same time hiring laborers to work. They were given two kilograms of grain a day, and a large number of troops appeared. I thought they were here to supervise the work, but what I didn't expect was that

The military men actually joined them in cutting wood, kneading mud, and burning tiles...

"I really didn't expect that it would have been so difficult for these bastards to do some work in the past. Look at it now, they can do it with no shirts on. Well, not bad, really good."

Qin Qiong was amazed, but Li Chengqian was not surprised. In later generations, one of the glorious traditions of our army is to share joys and sorrows with the people. Whenever natural disasters occur, the cutest people are always at the forefront.

Li Chengqian pointed out a soldier in the distance to Qin Qiong. He saw the soldier taking the water from the old woman's hand and drinking heavily. A smile appeared on the old woman's face, and she wiped the soldier's face. The soldier even bent down to let the old woman drink.

It will be easier to wipe, and you will be as happy as a baby in the moon.

Qin Qiong and Changsun Wuji are both people who have led troops all year round. Of course they know what everything in front of them represents. In their life experiences, they have never seen such a scene. In the past, people only saw fear when they saw soldiers, but now.

.......

"Well, your highness is very talented. This will make the people more convinced of the imperial court, and it will also double the recovery speed of Huazhou." Changsun Wuji nodded with satisfaction.

When Li Chengqian led his guards to Huayin County, the post-disaster reconstruction of Huayin County was also under active construction.

Looking at the Huayin County Magistrate covered in mud and water, Li Chengqian personally helped Wang Zhi up and said, "Wang County Magistrate, you are very good. I just took a look around. Huayin's disaster relief can be said to be a model for Huazhou's disaster relief. You are worthy of it."

To one parent."

Wang Zhi bowed and said: "Your Highness, I just did my duty. Without Your Highness's support, the people of Huayin don't know when they will be able to rebuild their homes."

"Wang County Magistrate, I have read the report you posted. The treasury budget is correct. We cannot let the people starve to death. I also deeply agree with your reconstruction strategies, especially the epidemic prevention strategies after major disasters.

, Huazhou is still short of a governor, and I would like to recommend you to be the governor."

Wang Zhi was shocked by Li Chengqian's words. He originally thought that it would be good not to dismiss his official position. Even if it was for the sake of the people, it would be a big crime to open the treasury privately.

The prince in front of him wanted to promote himself. Wang Zhi felt like he was dreaming: "Your Highness, I am so different from the governor by so many levels. This, this is not in line with the rules."

Li Chengqian waved his hand: "The imperial court promotes those who can do things for the people and dare to take responsibility for the people. As you said, what you do is your duty, and it is also my duty to promote talents for the country.

Besides, the rule is that the dead are alive, so don’t refuse and follow me back to Huazhou today.”

"Your Highness, it's time to take care of Zheng Kuan's affairs." "Tomorrow at noon, it will be clear." Changsun Wuji turned and left, and Li Chengqian picked up the pen again and continued writing the memorial.

Tai Chi Palace

Fang Xuanling came out of class and opened Li Chengqian's memorial: "Your Majesty, Li Chengqian, has received your holy grace and been promoted to be the pacifier of Huazhou to investigate the chaos in Huazhou.

Now the truth is clear, the chaos among the people in Zheng County was caused by the county magistrate Hu Li who raped the girls, oppressed the people, and failed to provide disaster relief.

The leader of the thieves, Liu San, is now dead, and more than ten of his followers are in custody in Huazhou. The rest of the people are common people. I appreciate God's grace and the sentence is lenient."

"The former governor of Huazhou, Zheng Kuan, neglected his duties and embezzled state funds to such a large extent that the people of Huazhou withered and had no food to eat. He was truly the chief among evildoers...

Wang Zhi, the magistrate of Huayin County, is calm in dealing with changes, upright and upright, and has loyal and pure aspirations. Please serve as the governor of Huazhou."

"Zhe Chongdu Lieutenant Lanshan, who has made great achievements in quelling the chaos and is commendable for his loyalty and bravery, is invited to be promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General. Cui Wen, the magistrate of Baishui County,... is invited to be posthumously named Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and promoted to the position of Yinqing Guanglu Doctor.
