She Song

Chapter 272

The warmth of spring and the disappearance of ice are a good time for the recovery of all things, but a disaster that Han Xiaoyao did not expect happened suddenly.

The Yellow River floods broke down many river banks, and floods broke out in many places in Hebei.

For a time, the affected states asked the imperial court for urgent aid and relief. However, the imperial court had no money and no intention to provide disaster relief. It only replied, "Hebei's business is Hebei's business" and stopped intervening.

After further questioning, someone sent a message: King Zhenbei is in charge of the land in Hebei, let Yanjing handle this matter!

The disaster was like a fire and the people were displaced. As long as there was any hope, the state leaders could only grasp it as a life-saving straw, so the reports rushed to Yanjing like snow flakes.

Knowing that the flood situation was serious and ignoring the ugly faces of Tokyo's powerful people, Han Xiaoyao immediately initiated emergency measures. The Zhenguo Army took turns to rest officers and soldiers, all reserve soldiers, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the engineering team, the medical team, the logistics department, and the transportation team, together with Han Ji The Chamber of Commerce rushed to the disaster area to provide full relief.

As the big bosses in Yanjing were sent to the frontline supervision of the disaster area by Han Xiaoyao, he himself also contracted the Xiangzhou disaster area with the largest number of victims.

Originally, Xiangzhou should not have been affected by the flood, but the rulers were ignorant and corrupt, and the entire Beidi was already riddled with holes.

Winter turned to spring, and after the thaw, the embankments became soft, and more than ten places collapsed after a wave of floods. Tangyin in Xiangzhou suffered the worst disaster, half of the land was soaked in floods, and there were countless casualties. The local victims quickly collapsed. Ten thousand.

The victims were left without food and clothing, and the government did nothing. The gangs formed were like sparks that started a prairie fire in Tangyin.

Han Xiaoyao arrived at Tangyin City. Outside the city gate, Wu Zhizhou Wangzhi County led the civil and military forces to bow to Han Xiaoyao who was riding on the horse.

"No need to be polite!" Han Xiaoyao asked bluntly: "It has been ten days since the disaster occurred. I would like to know what is the current situation of the disaster? How did you deploy disaster relief?"

Wu Zhizhou rambled on with a lot of reasons and trivial matters, and then lamented: "Xiangzhou was originally barren and in the lean years, I could only raise some food even if I broke my leg these days. What if? We have opened some porridge sheds, but there is really nothing we can do about the others. Now that the King of Zhenbei has arrived, the people of Tangyin can be saved!"

Han Xiaoyao had already clearly investigated these officials and asked: "I am in charge of Hebei under the orders of the imperial court, and if you write a letter requesting Yanjing for disaster relief, then the Interim Regulations on Disaster Relief Management of Yanyun Management Committee will be implemented. Disaster relief mission, no problem?”

After saying that, he handed the disaster relief notice to Wu Zhizhou: "You guys take a look first. If there is anything wrong, you can discuss it now."

Officials such as Wu Zhizhou, Wang Zhixian and other officials immediately reviewed each clause one by one. However, the ten 28 clauses in the notice were all the most basic legal provisions. Except for the first clause: power should be urgent. All disaster relief in the disaster area should be prioritized. Anyone who destroys or obstructs , Those who delay disaster relief will be severely punished.

The local officials in Xiangzhou immediately complimented: "No problem! Such thorough disaster relief regulations show that the prince is wise and prepared for a rainy day!"

"Since you all agree, that's good!" Han Xiaoyao jumped off his horse and asked people to post notices. At the same time, he sent people to post the same notices to all the towns in Tangyin.

After arranging the announcement of the disaster area, Han Xiaoyao went straight to the porridge shed on the side. This porridge shed was still brand new, and it was obviously built overnight yesterday to show off.

Han Xiaoyao looked at the porridge in the pot. It was almost like rice soup, but even so, there were still many victims waiting in line.

Han Xiaoyao reached for the soup spoon and picked up a portion of "rice soup" from the pot. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly smiled and said: "This rice soup makes me very kind! A year ago, in the north of the Tokyo embankment, corruption was rampant. , I only had two servings of rice soup a day, which almost starved me to death, so I could only drag a group of brothers and uncles who were about to starve to death to form Hanji to seek a way to survive. Who would have thought that I would become a prince..."

At this time, Han Xiaoyao deliberately looked around at the victims and asked loudly: "There should be someone here who wants to be a prince, right?"

Wu Zhizhou, Wang Zhixian and other officials immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly knelt on the ground, sweat rolling down their foreheads.

"The lower official is guilty!"

Han Xiaoyao snorted coldly: "You take the initiative to hand over the illegal gains and go back to Tokyo by yourself. This king can pretend that he didn't see it, otherwise the law is ruthless!"

Wu Zhizhou is also a high-ranking member of the imperial court. He has been an official for ten years and has a fortune of nearly one million. How can he be willing to sit back and wait for capture?

"My lord, as the governor of a state, even if I want to be investigated and prosecuted, it is an order of the court according to the law. You are so arrogant and domineering, do you want to cause trouble?" "Haha, the government forced the people to rebel, and you have to rebel!" Han Xiaoyao pointed at his nose and said, "I started out as a rebel, don't you know?"

Wu Zhizhou was choked and could not speak. Han Xiaoyao took the file from Huandie and read: "Xiangzhou Zhizhou Wu Can, one house in Tokyo is worth fifteen thousand guan. There are five houses in Xiangzhou, totaling 25 guan." . There are 50 shops in various places with total assets of 40 guan. Thousands of hectares of fertile land, totaling [-] guan. The family’s money, antiques and treasures are estimated to be no less than [-] guan. Three hundred thousand guan of disaster relief money and food were withheld..."

Wu Can was frightened out of his wits, the list was his property, even he himself may not be so clear about it, Han Xiaoyao is so precious, such a huge amount of assets, his salary can't even cover a fraction of it.

"According to the regulations..." Han Xiaoyao turned around and looked at the notice that had just been posted at the city gate: "Officials who have taken bribes and embezzled money and food for disaster relief must be executed immediately!"

He came closer to Wu Can and whispered: "I'm sorry, the disaster is like fire. I'll lend you my head."

At this moment, Wu Can knew that the other party was going to use his own life to appease the victims and scare the officials. He collapsed!
"The young one is willing to donate all his family property! Please forgive me for your life..."

Han Xiaoyao said coldly: "You didn't cherish the opportunity. Now you regret it. It's too late!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the servants of the Department of Justice of Yanjing were about to drag Wu Can away. Wu Can was still crying and begging for mercy.

Wu Can, the fifth-rank magistrate of the state, became the first official in the disaster-stricken area of ​​Hebei to lose his head for disobeying the disaster relief regulations. When the news spread, order in the disaster-stricken area suddenly stabilized.

With Wu Can's example, all the officials were like chaff in the war, and they dared not play tricks anymore, and promised to donate their family property through sweat.

More than 230 officials, including Wu Can, had a total of [-] million yuan in confiscated assets.

Han Xiaoyao announced to the victims that all the ill-gotten gains would be used for local production and self-rescue in Xiangzhou. All expenditures would be disclosed and subject to supervision by the people.

Among the victims, a farmer who was originally haggard suddenly became excited, and his eyes, one large and one small, became brighter.

It is said that the King of Zhenbei is a traitor and a traitor, but today he looks more like Lord Qingtian. My family and fellow villagers are saved!

But Han Xiaoyao immediately encountered a problem and fucked Xiangzhou from top to bottom. Many government departments had no supervisors and were almost paralyzed.

"It is preferable that the incorruptible person in the department should take over. If there are still shortcomings, the people will recommend talented people to temporarily perform the functions on their behalf."

Corruption in Tangyin County is very serious, and the Wang family has been in control for many years. This time, under Han Xiaoyao's strength, the Wang family had to bow their heads and hand over the ill-gotten gains. However, they insidiously went on strike completely, and the Tangyin County government was completely shut down.

Aren't you amazing, grandpa simply stopped serving, and on the ground in Tangyin, let's see who dares to touch the bad luck of the Wang family?
Nonviolent noncooperation?

Han Xiaoyao sneered: Without Butcher Wang, we have to eat pigs with hair on them?

You don't do it, some people do it!
Open Recruitment!

According to the internal defense files, there are many celebrities and wise men in Tangyin County, and there are also many Xiangzhou people in the Yanyun Management Committee and the Zhenguo Army.

For example, Minister of Health Zhuo Dani, Special Operations Battalion Commander Ma Weitian, etc.

So officials from Xiangzhou began to publicize the policies of the Yanyun Management Committee, and at the same time hoped that the normal life order in Xiangzhou would return as soon as possible.

In the evening, the big-eyed farmer settled down with his wife, children, and mother, and sat on the mound outside the house in a daze.

Suddenly, a young man rushed over and said eagerly: "Pengju, I have already inquired about the position of the soldier in the county. Tomorrow there will be a public assessment and selection. With your talents and skills, you will definitely be the one!"
