Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 275 Ji Ming
Wang Pingan closed his eyes and began to think about how in the later life he could make a suppressed emotion explode.

Suddenly he opened his eyes and said, "Yes."

"Is there a way?" Du Ruhui asked.

Li Chengqian urged: "Quickly tell Gu."

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "No hurry, Uncle Gao, please inform the soldiers here to bring the governor of Bianzhou to see us."

In addition, Wang Ping'an ordered all those who can work to cut down trees and build a temporary shelter that can keep out the wind and rain.

The temporary shelter lost a simple shed, but it was surrounded by trees, and it could accommodate thousands of people. While waiting for Ji Ning, more than a dozen of these sheds were built.

However, many of the disaster victims looked at Wang Ping'an and the others curiously, and some children even ran to watch them work.

After the canopy was set up, Ji Ning, governor of Bianzhou, also ran over.

"Old man Ji Ning, governor of Bianzhou, who is the imperial envoy?" Ji Ning asked Wang Ping'an's disaster relief team loudly.

"Me." Wang Pingan raised his hand and said.

"You?" Ji Ning objected that I didn't believe your expression.

"That's right, he is the imperial envoy for the disaster relief. The old man and the crown prince are both helping out." Du Ruhui walked over to prove to Wang Ping'an.

Seeing Du Ruhui, Ji Ning hurried forward and said, "Ji Ning has met Master Du." Then he called Ji Mingguo, "Ji Ming, come quickly and meet Master Du."

Wang Pingan saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young master running up to Du Ruhui to salute, Du Ruhui said with a smile: "He is the old Ji Ming of your old man?"

Ji Ning said: "This is my nephew's youngest brother, and now he is working as a housekeeper under my nephew. My father wants him to practice for a few years before going to Chang'an."

"That's right, the old man looks at your younger brother with overwhelming aura, and his achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary."

"Thank you, Sir, for your praise, thank you, Master Du, tomorrow." Ji Ning yelled.

Hearing this, Ji Ming cupped his hands to Du Ruhui and said, "Ji Ming thank you sir."

"My lord, you are here. Could it be that you are the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to relieve the disaster?" Ji Ning finally turned the topic back to the serious matter.

Du Ruhui shook his head, pointed to Wang Pingan who was not far away, and said, "No, the old man is only helping from the side this time, he is the imperial envoy for the disaster relief, and even the crown prince was ordered by His Majesty to learn from the sidelines." , without interference."

"What, His Royal Highness is here too, where is His Royal Highness?" Ji Ning only had Li Chengqian in his eyes, and he didn't bother to talk to Wang Pingan at all.

In his heart, Li Chengqian was the real imperial envoy, Wang Pingan was just pushed out by Li Er to be an imperial envoy on the surface, and the real commander was Prince Li Chengqian.

Du Ruhui didn't think too much, and replied directly: "The prince is making arrangements for cooking now."

"What, the crown prince really cares about the people's feelings and does everything by himself. He is a role model for my generation of officials." Ji Ning flattered for a while.

Du Ruhui knew that Ji Ning seemed to have misunderstood something, but he didn't intend to correct it, and it wouldn't be bad for the prince to be close to the people.

Ji next to him clearly saw what was coming, and said to Ji Ning: "Brother, since Master Du said that this person is the Imperial Envoy, let's go and salute quickly."

"That's right. On the surface, he is also an imperial envoy." Ji Ning thought in his heart.

After he made a confession to Du Ruhui, he brought all the Bianzhou officials to Wang Ping'an and cupped his hands, "The next official, Ji Ning, the governor of Bianzhou, together with all the Bianzhou officials, went to see the imperial envoy."

"Inspector Ji is about to be exempted from courtesy." Wang Pingan said.

"Thank you sir."

Wang Ping'an asked: "Ji Inspector, what is the current disaster situation in Bianzhou?"

"My lord, the current situation in Bianzhou is as you can see. All the victims are here, and the rest are not backgrounds who left their hometowns to join others." Ji Ning said perfunctorily.

"I'm asking more than that." Wang Ping'an's voice raised, and he could hear Ji Ning's perfunctory.

Ji Ning originally disdained Wang Ping'an, so he felt somewhat resistant to Wang Ping'an's questioning. Although the other party's voice was dissatisfied, he still only planned to perfunctory.

Just as he was about to speak, Ji Ming stepped forward and said, "Returning to your lord, Lord Inspector, because you have led people to block the gap in the Yellow River in the past ten days, and you don't know much about the disaster situation in Bianzhou."

Wang Pingan looked at Ji Ming, twitched his eyes, and asked all the officials in Bianzhou: "Which one of you knows the current situation in Bianzhou best, stand up and tell this official."

Ji Ming clasped his hands again and said, "My lord, I know that the gap in the Yellow River has been blocked, and the water level began to drop five days ago. Currently, there is still water in Kaifeng County, and there is no water in the remaining five counties." , all the victims that can be found so far are here, and the government provides two meals a day. There is no epidemic yet.”

"Well, how many victims are there here? Did the flood cause any casualties?"

"Yes, when we mobilized soldiers to rescue people, we found more than 3000 corpses, among which the elderly and children were the most." Ji Ming's eyes dimmed as he spoke.

"Where is the corpse now?" Wang Ping'an asked.

"It's not far away again." Ji Ming said, pointing in one direction.

Wang Pingan said: "Transport all the corpses here, build a crematorium here, and then erect a monument here."

"My lord, why is this? If you want to burn the corpse, you can burn it right there. Why do you need to go to such trouble to transport the corpse here?" Ji Ning couldn't stand it, and couldn't help asking.

Wang Pingan glanced at him and said, "Do you think these people are different from usual?"

"Difference?" Ji Ning looked suspiciously at the people, and then stared directly at Wang Pingan. He thought that Wang Ping'an was playing with him, and the people were obviously the same people, so there would be no difference. No matter what the difference, they are still the same people."

Wang Pingan cast a contemptuous glance at him, then looked at Ji Ming and asked, "Did you see anything?"

When Ji Ming was asked this question, he felt that something was wrong, so he carefully observed the people.

After a long time, he finally saw from the eyes of the people that they were less angry and felt that they no longer had the courage to live.

So he said uncertainly: "My lord, I feel that they seem to be less angry, and they seem to see through life and death."

"Well, yes, you can see it, which means you are very talented, unlike someone who doesn't understand anything." Wang Pingan praised one and dismissed the other.

He praised his younger brother Ji Ming and belittled his older brother Ji Ning, which made people feel like they were sowing discord.

Ji Ming said with a smile: "My lord is absurd, but there is one thing my lord is wrong. As a decision maker, you don't need to know everything. Otherwise, what's the use of our subordinates, is it a waste of food?"
