Chapter 874: Shen Tang’s anger, assigning division of labor
"Which one are you!"
Shen Tang said coldly.
The junior official was hunched over and didn't dare to look directly at Shen Tang. He said tremblingly, "I'm going to be your official... I'm going to be the official of the Household House in Miangzhou, and I'm going to pay my respects to the Imperial Envoy!"
"I'll give you two-quarters of an hour. If any of the officials in Mianzhou Yamen, big or small, can't get it, just take up their posts!"
"Zhou Lu, take the sword granted by the Holy One!"
Zhou Lu solemnly took out a golden dragon-inlaid sword from his backpack and held it up in his hand! And Shen Tang's eyes, with a serious murderous intent, shrouded the young official.
The little official couldn't help but tremble. The next moment, he turned around and ran towards the city gate. After a while, he disappeared from everyone's sight!
Shen Tang didn't dismount, just waiting coldly!
The soldiers and government officials in those huts looked in the direction of Shen Tang and others with fear, but they did not dare to step forward. The surrounding refugees were also attracted by this special scene, and they all looked curiously. Looked over.
Time passed slowly, and suddenly, the originally closed door creaked open, and a group of people in official robes, regardless of their embarrassment, trotted up to Shen Tang.
"I'm... I'm going down... Lu Zhengyu, the magistrate of Mianzhou, pays homage to the imperial envoy..." Before he could take a breath, the leader, a man wearing a fourth-grade official robe, spoke hurriedly and bowed in salute!
Shen Tang looked at the officials in front of him and felt a little angry in his heart! They closed the city gate tightly and did nothing, but outside the city separated by a wall, the refugees were allowed to live and die!
The weather was not hot, but under Shen Tang's cold gaze, everyone present was covered in cold sweat!
"Lu Zhengyu!"
Shen Tang got off his horse and walked up to Lu Zhengyu!
"The official is here!"
His figure couldn't help but slump a little lower.
"How many people are affected by the disaster in Maozhou now!"
"This... probably... probably... tens of thousands of people..."
"Now, have all the collapsed embankments been cleared..."
"It is being dredged and has not been completed yet!"
"How many times do you give out porridge every day? In addition to the five porridge sheds in the south of the city, are there any porridge sheds set up in other places..."
"Sir... Your Excellency, there is a shortage of grain and rice in Mianzhou City, so for the time being, only five porridge sheds have been set up to provide porridge once a day..."
Shen Tang held back the anger in his heart and said, "Master Lu, raise your head!"
Lu Zhengyu slowly raised his head and heard Shen Tang pointing to the side and asking, "What are you seeing?"
Looking at the direction Shen Tang was pointing, Lu Zhengyu carefully responded, "Sir, what I see is the people affected by the disaster in Mianzhou!"
"Okay, you still know that you are the people of Mianzhou! But, don't you, Lu Zhengyu, know that you, the magistrate of the state, are their parent officials?
Now tens of thousands of victims are lying in the mud. If I remember correctly, the disaster has been over for about half a month.
You, the governor of the state, just let them fend for themselves, while you sit in the city and pretend not to know?"
"Pi Sheng, order 200 people to enter the city and seal up the Mianzhou granary, treasury and corresponding accounts. No one can act rashly without my order!"
Shen Tang said in a cold voice.
"The general will get his order!"
"Sir, this... this is against the rules..." Lu Zhengyu said in panic. Of course he knew whether there was anything wrong with those accounts. How dare he let Shen Tang seal them?
brush!
Shen Tang stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword held in Zhou Lu's hand!
"Master Lu, do you want to tell me the rules?"
Seeing the cold light from the sword in Shen Tang's hand, Lu Zhengyu's soul was filled with fear, "I'm an official... I don't dare!"
Shen Tang sneered, and then drank, "From now on, all officials in Mianzhou will stay here with me. When all the victims are resettled, we can talk about other things!"
"If you know each other, then maybe I can give you a way to survive! Otherwise, just stay with Yu Huiran!"
Yu Huiran, the previous governor of Chengdu Prefecture, was directly captured by Shen Tang not long ago. Not only was he dismissed from office, but his family property was confiscated and he was exiled thousands of miles away! This incident almost made the entire officialdom of the Song Dynasty tremble. How could these people present not know?
Shen Tang threw the sword into Zhou Lu's hand, "Pi Sheng, camp on the spot!"
After that, Shen Tang strode towards the direction of those porridge sheds!
"Sir, what should I do?
Why did the imperial envoy arrive so quickly?
Isn't there news that this person was still in Mianzhou before June 7th?"
An official behind Lu Zhengyu looked anxious!
Lu Zhengyu gritted his teeth and said, "How do I know this! You immediately send your trusted followers to pass the news here to Mr. Yu Wenbin and Mr. Yu! Let Mr. Yu come as soon as possible to save our lives, otherwise, no one will be able to gain favor this time!"
The official nodded vigorously, quietly called over a guard, and then whispered something, and the guard turned around and left.
A group of people followed Shen Tang to the porridge shed. Shen Tang picked up a pair of long chopsticks placed on the side of the pot and stirred the half-cooked porridge in the pot! This big pot, which could hold two people in their arms, was Under the stirring of Shen Tang, only a few grains of rice floated to the surface.
There was even a slight rustling sound at the bottom of the pot!
"Go and get that grain bag!"
A guard stepped forward and brought over a bag filled with half a bag of grain and rice! Shen Tang reached in and grabbed a handful.
The aged brown rice accompanied by gravel slipped from Shen Tang's hands.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhengyu and others looked even more uneasy!
"Where is the housekeeper?"
Shen Tang shouted coldly.
The junior official who first greeted Shen Tang ran forward in a hurry!
"No matter what method you use, before sunset, I want to know how many victims there are outside Mianzhou! Within two days, the number of all the victims in the entire Mianzhou area must be found.
If you can't do it, just resign!"
"I obey my orders!"
Although Shen Tang's words were a bit harsh, how dare he put forward any opinions at this moment!
Immediately, he waved his hand and hurried toward the victims with several household clerks and some government officials.
"Where are the people in the workshop?"
"The official is here!"
"How many civilians have been recruited in Mianzhou City now?"
"These...two hundred and eighty people!"
Shen Tang gritted his teeth and wished he could just chop off the heads of these damn guys! In the Chengdu Prefecture's disaster relief, Guangdu County alone had thousands of civilians, and there were thousands of soldiers and horses to help.
And there are only a few hundred civilians in Mianzhou?
I really don’t know if these people care about the people or if they do nothing!
"Barracks, how many soldiers and horses does the Mianzhou Soldiers and Horses Supervisor control?"
The warden of the barracks hesitated for a moment, and then said anxiously, "Eight... more than eight hundred people!"
