"As the subordinate is a warehouse chief, if the disaster is not cured, he is naturally guilty.
Now, we can only serve the people and try our best to help them get through the disaster, so as to live up to the grace of the Holy One!"
"Then Master Yu, how do you think these problems should be solved?"
Shen Tang asked.
Yu Wenbin responded sternly, "The destroyed villages and houses are easy to say. I heard that your Excellency has summoned civilians to repair them. I think it won't take long for them all to be restored.
Now, the most difficult thing is food and farming!"
"The official thinks that it is better to sort out some of the fields as quickly as possible and plant them as soon as possible. Even if the harvest is smaller, it is better than nothing! As for the rest of the people, some of the young and strong laborers can work for relief! It is also good to repair the dams. , serve in the yamen, in short, try to make the best use of these people! It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If they are allowed to sit and eat, not only will troubles arise easily, but the burden on the court will also be greater."
"As for the remaining young and old, they can only honor the court! Therefore, the court needs to allocate money, food and other materials! When disasters occurred before, the lower officials also wrote to the court, but there is no definite response yet.
Please help me deal with this, sir!"
Looking at the rich Yu Wenbin in front of him, Shen Tang secretly praised him in his heart.
The methods he mentioned coincided with his own. If he could implement them all, he would not only be able to reduce the burden, but also be able to survive this disaster smoothly.
However, this is not unusual.
Yu Wenbin has been in the officialdom all his life and is now considered to be in a high position.
He may be corrupt or cunning, but his knowledge and methods are also indispensable.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to sit in this position openly.
"What Mr. Yu said is true! Moreover, these things have basically been arranged. I am afraid it will not be long before the first results are achieved!"
Shen Tang said calmly.
"Hahaha!"
Yu Wenbin laughed loudly, "It seems that this official is just doing his best!"
Maybe they had a common topic, so the conversation between the two was much more enjoyable!
Suddenly, Yu Wenbin asked Shen Tang, "I don't know, what does Master Shen think of Lu Zhengyu and others?
I heard that Mr. Shen has sealed up the treasury and accounts. Is there any corruption involved?"
Shen Tang smiled faintly, "Master Yu belongs to Cangsi, isn't it clear?"
Yu Wenbin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Hey, it's okay if others don't understand, but how could you not understand what's going on here, sir!"
"Forgive me for being presumptuous! Your Excellency is also in charge of a command department, but are you familiar with the local armies and the military supervisors of various states?
These officials below have policies from above and countermeasures from below! Even if we had ten pairs of eyes, we wouldn't be able to see them.
Therefore, I can only know a few things about the various warehouses on Lizhou West Road. I can take a general look at the situation, but if I want to really understand the inside story, it is impossible to do so."
"Furthermore, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples! Don't be afraid of adults' jokes. As long as these local officials can stay safe and do all the things they should do, even if the subordinates notice something, they will be fine. Turn a blind eye! After all, whether it’s a low-level official or a court, don’t you have to point to these people to do things?
Therefore, unless we are extremely evil people, as Shangguan, we can only live in harmony with the light..."
Shen Tang didn't answer, but looked at Yu Wenbin with a half-smile! Of course he had a purpose when he said these words. If it were on weekdays, maybe Shen Tang would really turn a blind eye as he said. .
However, this time when he was inspecting the Fifth Northwest Road, Shen Tang also had his own purpose! As his first stop, Mianzhou was impossible to let go of so lightly.
"Let's talk about Lu Zhengyu!"
Yu Wenbin looked at Shen Tang's expression and said, "My ability is really not good! I'm usually dull and dull, and I even get tricked by my subordinates! Tell me, what should I say to my subordinates with such ability to know the state of any state?"
"However, no one is perfect! Although Lu Zhengyu is not very capable, he is still a mediocre person. What is even more rare is that he almost never compromises on the orders given by Shangguan! It is a bit helpless. In the eyes of Xianguan, such a person Even better than those smart people.
After all, as a superior, who wants his subordinates to be too shrewd?"
"This time the flood disaster in Mianzhou has developed into the current situation, Lu Zhengyu cannot shirk his responsibility! Therefore, even if you let him go this time for the sake of his hard work, I will not let these incompetent people continue. Let the corpse sit and eat.
This disaster is serious, and punishing officials severely now is not conducive to stabilizing the situation, but after this period of time, the subordinates will definitely write to the court to demote Lu Zhengyu!"
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Shen Tang would have wanted to stand up and give Yu Wenbin a slap in the face! Looking at what he said, not only did Shen Tang get lifted up, but he also showed a hatred of evil. Not only did he consider the disaster situation, but he also gave Shen Tang has great face.
What is this called?
This is called true sophistication!
As someone said, officialdom is not about fighting and killing, but about human relations.
According to the normal procedure, Shen Tang said a few polite words and even said a few good words to Lu Zhengyu.
After that, Yu Wenbin gave a few compliments and gave a generous gift behind his back, and the matter passed easily.
There is just one thing that Yu Wenbin did not expect. Speaking of which, although Shen Tang is now considered to be in a high position, he has never been a qualified official!
Therefore, facing Yu Wenbin's face, Shen Tang nodded again and again, stroking his hands and saying, "I strongly agree with what Mr. Yu said! Whether it is a corrupt official or a person who has done nothing, there is no reason to hold a high position. .
Therefore, this time I come to Mianzhou, it will be fine if I cannot find out something, but if it really falls into my hands... Haha, the sword given by the Holy One cannot be just a decoration after all! Lord Yu, Do you think this is true..."
Yu Wenbin was stunned for a long time, and sighed slightly in his heart: This Lu Zhengyu can't be saved! Also, who told them that they haven't figured out Shen Tang's nature at all?
In addition, Mianzhou is Shen Tang’s first stop. Is there any reason not to kill the chicken to scare the monkey?
Lu Zhengyu is this unlucky chicken!
"Next, I will continue to arrange the rest of the matters in Mianzhou, but in the end, I still have to rely on Mr. Yu! After all, I have a heavy responsibility and cannot stay here in Mianzhou for too long! After the matter is settled, there is no time for the follow-up matters. Taken into consideration.”
"Lord Shen, don't worry. This is the official's authority. In the past few days, Xianguan has been with you to understand the situation in Mianzhou as soon as possible. After you leave, Xianguan will personally take charge here. This disaster will not be completely over. , I will never leave!"
