I want to be a good minister

Chapter 320

After walking for two days in a row, Cen Xi and the two walked along the Zhongshi Mountain Range, crossed Anze County, and arrived in Lingze County. After a few days, Cen Xi felt more and more the sequelae caused by the lack of mental power.

Young people like Cen Xi and An Xiujun, who are only seventeen or eighteen years old, should be very energetic in Cen Xi's view. Even in the past, even if Cen Xi had the aftereffects of drinking stamina potions, he would still be in two Dissipates quickly within three days.

But this time it is different. After walking for an hour, the body will be exhausted, and all the attributes of the body seem to be restricted.

So, after crossing Zhongshi Mountain and Geng Mountain, it was already four days later.

The sky is gloomy, and the desolate scene in Lingze County is very eye-catching. Apart from the mess receded by the flood, there are countless farmlands and houses that have collapsed along the Gengshan Mountains.

Along the way, there were victims fleeing with their wives and children. Their bodies were as thin as dry wood, and their faces were black and thin. They were like walking corpses. They fell on the side of the road as they walked. stand up.

Cen Xi's previous briskness and excitement were swept away, as if a heavy weight weighed heavily on his heart.

"All right, all right--, all right--" In the dirty mud beside the road, lay an old man who could no longer lift a broken bowl. His hair was on his head like a mess of grass, and his eyes were cloudy. Revealing a bloodshot paleness, he occasionally glanced at the crowd slowly passing by.

"Cen Jing, I remember, remember—" An Xiujun spoke hastily, as if trying to explain something, but everything in front of him slapped him hard.

Mr. Anxiu pointed to the county town that was already empty in the distance, and he didn't even have the courage to go in and take a look.

Cen Xi took a step forward, took out a steamed bun from the package on his back, and handed it to the victims on the side of the road.

The victim was taken aback for a moment, as if frightened by Cen Xi, then immediately snatched the steamed bun from Cen Xi's hand, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough—" The next moment, the old man coughed violently, and Cen Xi quickly reached out and patted the other person's back.

"Old man, slow down, don't worry, eat slowly—" Cen Xi made a calculation in his mind, and reached out and took out another steamed bun.

"She has something to eat—" The steamed buns in Cen Xi's hands were immediately seen by a few victims, and he immediately yelled, his eyes shining like wolves.

Before Cen Xi could react, several victims had already rushed towards Cen Xi, their eyes were not what a person should have at all, they had turned into beasts in hunger.

Cen Xi didn't struggle, and let the other party snatch the package and the steamed bun in his hand.

There were more than a dozen steamed buns and pancakes left in the package, which Cen Xi had given out to the victims along the road.

An Xiujun hastily stepped forward to push away the victims who were still haunting Cen Xi.

"It's all there, it's gone—" Hearing this, the victim immediately rushed towards the victim who had grabbed the package, and immediately wrestled into a ball.

Cen Xi watched this scene, saw that the steamed buns rolled on the ground were covered with mud at this time, but everyone didn't realize it, grabbed the steamed buns that fell on the ground and started to stutter. The victims watched helplessly, swallowing their saliva constantly.

"Cen Jing, let's go quickly—" An Xiujun couldn't stand it anymore, and pulled Cen Xi to leave.

Cen Xi turned her head and looked at An Xiujun who wanted to pull her away. She couldn't believe it. The man she saw this day was not touched. On the contrary, the man wanted to leave in shame and indignation. touched.

Cen Xi grabbed An Xiujun's arm tightly with his backhand, and looked directly at him, unable to escape.

"Your Highness, this is the purpose of rebuilding water conservancy and disaster relief." Cen Xi said word by word, his gaze was firm, and Mr. Anxiu was shocked by this gaze, and was speechless for a moment, even the last trace of dirty thoughts in his heart felt ashamed.

Without food, the victims had dispersed, and the old people were also crawling on the ground looking for the fallen debris.

"My lord, I will seriously consider it." An Xiujun sighed, admitting that this trip touched him, and for the first time he really understood what a disaster victim really is.

"Your Highness, it's too late to think about it. We should start to do it, repair the dam, and divert water out of the city. Please believe in Jing, Jing will do it well—" Cen Xi said very seriously. At this time, he was no longer doing it to complete the task. , but really want to do it well.

"Cen Jing, we—" An Xiujun was taken aback, but seeing Cen Xi's persistent expression, his heart moved, "Okay, what should we do?"

"Your Highness, we are going into the city now, posting notices, recruiting strong laborers, managing food and housing, repairing dams, and dredging flood canals. Now the Zhongshi Mountain has been dredged. If there is another heavy rain, as long as it is dredged in time, there will be no more rainstorms." Question." Cen Xi's eyes brightened, and seeing that the man seemed to be interested, he immediately explained the detailed plan.

Cen Xi's plan was not considered at this moment, but after the system sent out the main task, Cen Xi had already begun to think about how to complete the task.

This town is located in a small town on the west side of Lingze County. It is small in size, and even the city walls are incomplete. The rammed earth walls of the same color have turned black and collapsed in the flood, and the houses in the city are also crumbling.There was also a propped up porridge shed at the gate of the city, but there was no soup in the pot, no soldiers guarding it, and no disaster victims waiting.

Cen Xi and An Xiujun entered the city, and the disaster relief officials arrived, and they were repairing the flooded mansion with them.

Seeing this situation, Cen Xi thought that there are two problems that must be solved first.The first one is to have one's own minister of disaster relief, and the second is to solve the food problem, it is far from enough to rely on the disaster relief food allocated by the court.

"Yes, Cen Jing, now you see that there are no people, no food, and nothing can be done." An Xiujun frowned, especially the mess in front of him.

"Your Highness, the minister of disaster relief can take care of it." Seeing this, Cen Xi searched An Xiujun's body up and down, left and right, and pulled a token from the man before he could open his mouth.

"Cen Jing, what are you doing—" An Xiujun was about to rush over immediately, but when Cen Xi turned around, he was already walking towards the mansion.

"Hey hey—who—" a soldier saw Cen Xi walk in, and immediately shouted, but where did Cen Xi give him a chance, he went directly to the Minister of Disaster Relief sitting in the main hall, and put the token in his hand " Pa——" it slapped on the table.

"Who—" The disaster relief minister was taken aback for a moment, but his eyes suddenly glanced at the token on the table, and he immediately swallowed the following words, and got up quickly.

"My lord—" The minister of disaster relief is a young official with low seniority, so he is naturally not qualified to follow An Xiujun, and he doesn't know Cen Xi, but he can recognize the token on the table.

"My lord pays my respects—" the disaster relief minister didn't even ask, and immediately knelt down, but the next moment, when he saw the shadow coming in from the door, he panicked for a moment, then, that was...
