Chapter 669: You can't have both fish and bear's paw
There are not many capable people around Gu Chengyu. As his rank rises in the future, some things will no longer be suitable for Mingmo and the others to do.
In fact, he had no choice but to choose this person. The number of people in the government office was limited, and he could not bring many people.
It would waste a lot of manpower to recruit disaster victims to build rivers. I chose this person because I didn't want to waste the manpower of the yamen, and secondly, I valued this person's talent and gave him a chance.
Xue Miao was stunned when he heard this. He looked up at Gu Chengyu in surprise.
He never expected that the imperial envoy would call him over and entrust him with such an important matter.
"Is this? The ordinary people may not be able to handle it! It would be better for you to leave such important matters to others. The ordinary people are just commoners and cannot handle such a big responsibility!"
When Ji Ran heard the news, he was undoubtedly excited. After living in Hecun for so many years, he had no use for him at all.
Gradually, he got used to this leisurely pastoral life, but he didn't expect that he would get such an important job today.
If he can handle this matter well, there is no doubt that the Imperial Envoy will be able to keep him by his side.
However, he then thought that it was not appropriate for him to show his face, so he could only refuse with regret.
"I don't want you to be solely responsible for this matter. The head of each village selects strong laborers, and you are responsible for reviewing them to see if they are seeking favoritism. In the end, I will assign an official to have full authority to handle this matter. You just have to do it.
Just go and do it. As for the number of river workers, let’s put it at about 4,000.”
After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, without waiting for Xue Miao's refusal, the posture of riding a horse disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Xue Miao looked up, Gu Chengyu's figure had long disappeared.
He frowned and pondered for a moment, and he understood what the imperial envoy meant. He just wanted him to review it first, and the final decision rested with him.
Gu Chengyu ran for a while, saw Ming Yan himself and chased after him. He immediately ordered, "Go and find out the details of this person, and then send someone of D's generation to assist him."
How could the victims believe Xue Miao with empty talk? Someone must be sent to keep an eye on him and show his attitude.
As for the investigation of Xue Miao, Gu Chengyu always felt that this person had many secrets.
"Yes!" Ming Yan turned the horse's head and rode away.
Gu Chengyu hurried to the front of the government office with his men of Ding generation. Because Hu Maoshen and the others left first, Yang Chaoying was already waiting at the door of the government office.
Gu Chengyu took a look and found that only Duan Zhijie and Yang Chaoying were among them. Min Feng and the others had not appeared yet.
His expression darkened. Even though Min Feng didn't know that he had come to Jiangnan as an imperial envoy, Hu Maoshen came with Min Feng. How dare Min Feng not come out to greet him?
Furthermore, other officials from the Ministry of Industry did not show up, which is really unreasonable.
Yang Chaoying and the others have returned to the government office. Logically speaking, Min Feng and the others should not have received the news.
"I heard that officials from the Ministry of Industry and the censor appointed by the emperor to patrol the river have arrived at Hangtian Mansion. Why are they nowhere to be seen?"
Gu Chengyu dismounted, the expression on his face was still warm, but Yang Chaoying could still hear the coldness in his words.
He was actually a little concerned about Min Feng and others' behavior of escaping from the battlefield.
At that time, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Min Feng and others following them, but when the victims started rioting, in the blink of an eye, Min Feng and others had disappeared.
It is conceivable that these people saw the disaster victims approaching fiercely, so they did not even dare to scold them and ran away without a trace in an instant.
And until now, several people have not shown up, which shows that they are scared out of their wits.
But where is Min Feng at this moment? In fact, he is also very anxious at this moment. Duan Zhijie from the Ministry of Industry has been away for so long and has not returned. This is probably something bad.
He and several officials from the Ministry of Industry had already packed their bags and were preparing to find a place to hide.
But if even the government office is no longer safe, then what safe place can there be in the entire city?
In fact, several people had packed their things, but no one dared to leave the government office.
They all gathered in an unoccupied guest room, locked the door bolt tightly, and did not dare to take a step out of the door.
"Ahem! Why don't we go and take a look? Are those victims so brave that they dare to kidnap Mr. Yang? Aren't they afraid of the wrath of the court? Besides, there are so many government officials here, and the ability of the government officials is not weak. There are so many
There’s no reason why weapons can’t defeat these victims!”
The person who spoke was Rui Shijie, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, who had calmed down by now.
"What Mr. Rui said is reasonable, but if we just fight like this, the victims will definitely not be able to see it in front of the government officials. However, Mr. Yang is still in the hands of the victims. They are threatening Mr. Yang's life. The government officials are restrained and cannot do anything to the victims.
They're going to be cruel!"
A director of the Ministry of Works interrupted. There were only five people in the room, and there were three directors of the Ministry of Works.
Isn't it because they are sent to inspect the river embankment because they are not taken seriously in the yamen on weekdays?
They are different from Min Feng. Min Feng came here to receive credit and prepare for promotion.
Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade is an eternal principle in officialdom.
With Xia Shoufu helping him plan, why should Min Feng not have a good future? They originally wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with Min Feng.
I was really lucky in the first few days when I came to Yingnan Mansion. I followed Min Feng to eat and drink in Yingnan Mansion and got some benefits.
They were all very satisfied and felt that the decision to climb Minfeng was a wise one.
Who would have thought that the good life has only lasted a few days, and it almost cost them their lives.
"If I had known, I should have come to Hangtian Mansion earlier, otherwise we would all have gone to other cities now. I didn't expect that we would encounter a riot by the victims. I don't know what Mr. Yang was thinking. He didn't even know how to properly arrange for such victims. This is not
?Even he himself suffered greatly from it!"
Min Feng remained silent. He looked at the faces of the people present and laughed in his heart.
When these people have something to gain, they stick to each other like leeches.
Now that something happened in Hangtian Mansion, these people blamed themselves for delaying their stay in Yingnan Mansion for too long.
It was as if they had never touched those women, let alone seen the money.
Min Feng had calmed down after the panic just now.
There is no place to run. The city is so big and there are so many victims, so it is relatively easy to search for them.
So now there is only one way, which is to take action to severely shock those victims.
However, Yang Chaoying is in the opponent's hands. If he orders the archers to release arrows, Yang Chaoying's life will be in danger!
However, the teacher said that sometimes you can’t have your cake and eat it too! It all depends on your choice.
But will people in the world choose fish? He thinks most people will only choose bear paws? How valuable are bear paws? How much fish can you get if you sell them?
