Chapter 413 Disaster Patrol
Someone behind said: "My lady, I have been walking for a whole morning, and the embankment is unstable in many places, so it is very unsafe. Let's go back."

Jingyu used the wooden stick in his hand to pull the stones under his feet a few times: "Every year several million taels of silver are used to build dams, and you use these broken stones to fool me. Are you still afraid now? The dam you built by yourself, you all Don’t dare to leave, and dare to live here with peace of mind among the common people?”

No one said anything, after all, now that the dam has collapsed, nothing can be hidden.

Jingyu continued to walk forward and slipped several times. After passing a mountain pass, he saw hundreds of migrant workers digging the blocked river, wearing bamboo hats and tied around their waists, standing in the mud and digging. Gravel and broken branches.

Jing Yu stood on the bank, looked at it for a while and asked, "How many migrant workers are there to dredge the river?"

The officials on the side immediately said: "Mr. Hui, there are a total of more than 5000 people, and they are divided into ten places to dredge. In addition, there are [-] migrant workers who are rebuilding the dam. The Chenzhou General Army also dispatched [-] soldiers to assist."

"Then how are their wages calculated?"

The official laughed: "Two pennies a day, and two meals of porridge. Now they have nothing, and they will help with work as long as they are given food."

Jing Yu turned and looked at him: "The Chenzhou Dam was built with the best standards and only cost 100 million taels of silver. I asked you to allocate another 200 million taels of silver to help the people. Is that how you spend money?"

The man's legs softened and he immediately knelt down: "This official deserves to die, this official deserves to die. The official thinks that the heavy rain has not stopped yet, and it is not clear how many people will die. The money from the yamen should be used for later use, so now Save as much as you can.”

"If you can save it, save it." Jing Yu's face turned black: "Originally, the empress allowed each state to prepare 300 million taels of silver for storage, just in case a catastrophe came and the court couldn't allocate that much money at once. It’s okay, everyone is planning to save money at this time?”

As soon as she scolded, all the officials in Chenzhou knelt down: "My lady, calm down."

Jing Yu has already become numb to them, and she doesn't want to argue with them at this time. After all, these people's interests are intertwined, and moving them now will only hinder disaster relief.

"The daily salary of all migrant workers is mentioned as ten Wen, plus three steamed buns per person for two meals, available for those aged [-] to [-], and five Wen a day for women who help the kitchen. A steamed bun."

"Yes."

Jing Yu looked down at them: "In the future, if you can't handle such small things well, get out of here, and don't enjoy your salary here for nothing."

"Yes, I dare not wait."

After firing a fire, she went to many places, and Jingyu returned to the government office when it was dark. Su Yu had already prepared hot water for her to wipe her body, and brought out the already hot food.

"There is nothing left after a flood, only some potatoes, I will make buns for you, just eat some."

Jing Yu didn't say anything, she was hungry too, so she picked it up and ate it, and motioned for Su Yu to sit down too.

"You change your clothes tomorrow, go and help me see what is distributed in those porridge sheds, bring me some back, and be careful not to let others find out."

Su Yu was surprised: "Didn't you visit those porridge stalls before? Why are you still looking?"

Jing Yu took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun before saying, "I don't believe that those officials would honestly let people eat like this every day, and I've been here for a few days, and I took them outside every day. Both Rong Zhan and I lost weight, and it's just them There are also fat heads and big ears, I don't believe they will eat the same as us."
