I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

Everyone looked heavy and panicked.

The imperial court is their foundation!

Without the protection of the imperial court, they would not be able to enjoy everything they have today!

I can't even save my life!

The Empress's expression was equally serious!

Although she already has some trump cards, she is still powerless to deal with such a crisis!

Once you fail, it's over, and you don't regret taking the medicine!

Lin Beifan said loudly: "Our imperial court is in turmoil and is in dire straits. We really can't make a mistake! Once we make a mistake, the enemy will seize the opportunity! So, please think twice, Your Majesty, and my lords!"

The tone of Li Kaiguang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was relaxed: "But, how do we rescue? Our capital is too far away from the south of the Yangtze River. Even if we prepare food now, it will take 10 days for everything to go well. The victims will all starve to death!"

"Yeah, it's not that we don't want to save it, it's that there is really no way!"

"When the food is delivered, everyone is almost dead, it's too late!"

……

The empress looked at Lin Beifan, her eyes full of anticipation: "Aiqing, what solution do you have?"

Lin Beifan made a bow and said, "Your Majesty, didn't the King of Jiangnan advertise that the capital has food and let the victims come to Beijing to ask for food? We will ask the government along the way to help the victims! Although the local government has limited food, it is still possible to supply one or two meals." , so enough to last for two or three days!"

"In addition, we seized the time to transport food for disaster relief, and used the sharp water tool hovercraft to transport food, all the way southward! If we go north and south, we will have the opportunity to gather again halfway to relieve the victims!"

"This is the best way at present, please be aware of it, Your Majesty!"

The empress nodded: "Soldiers are expensive and fast! Where is Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Household Department?"

"The minister is here!" Hubu Shangshu stood up.

"Immediately open the warehouse to release food and help the victims!"

"I obey the order!" The Minister of the Household Department said loudly.

"Where is Li Kaiguang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War?"

"The minister is here!" The Minister of the Ministry of War stood up.

"Immediately set up a hovercraft to deliver food, and send troops to escort along the way!"

"I obey the order!" The Minister of the Ministry of War said loudly.

"Where is the Commander-in-Chief of Jin Yiwei?"

"Chen is here!"

……

In this way, the empress issued decrees in an orderly manner.

After arranging around, the empress turned her eyes to a thin figure in the court, and said, "Lin Aiqing will be in charge of the disaster relief this time! Fengde Tianfu Fucheng and Guozijian Jijiu Lin Beifan are imperial envoys, responsible for all matters of disaster relief! Shang Fang The sword, as if I come in person, has the right to cut first and play later!"

"I obey the order!" Lin Beifan accepted the order.

Then he took the Shangfang sword from His Majesty the Empress, and hurriedly went to arrange disaster relief.

Seeing Lin Beifan leaving in a hurry, the Empress murmured: "Ai Qing, don't let me down!"

At this moment, when it comes to the interests of all the officials in the court, no one is sloppy, and everyone acts very quickly.

Cart after cart of grain was transported out of the granary and transported to the river in the capital.

There, one hovercraft after another has already been set up, and the boats are connected by iron cables, forming a huge land on water.

The food was transported on the hovercraft, and then went all the way south to relieve the victims.

Now it is a race against time, and the comparison is speed!

"Okay, this ship has enough food for the victims for two days. The soldiers are so fast, let's go now! Next, you continue to transport food, stop along the coasts of various state capitals, and make preparations with the local government to help the victims! "

"Yes, my lord!"

After making arrangements, Lin Beifan jumped onto the hovercraft and shouted, "Leave the boat!"

The hovercraft pulled up the cloth sail, relying on the wind, and slowly sailed away from the capital.

At this moment, Lin Beifan waved his hand, and the strong wind howled, pushing the hovercraft forward quickly.

At the same time, the flow of the river under Lin Beifan's feet also accelerated a lot.

With the combination of the two, the speed of the hovercraft is more than doubled!

Some rivers are twice as fast!

This situation was quickly discovered by everyone.

"Why is the ship so fast?"

"what happened?"

……

Lin Beifan shouted loudly: "This is God's will! God bless me Dawu! God bless my people! Go forward day and night at full speed!"

0 ················································

"Yes, my lord!" Everyone cheered up and said in unison.

Because of the signboard of "God's Will", everyone is united and marching forward at full speed.

Jiangnan is more than 800 miles away from the capital city. Even if you walk by water, day and night, you can travel about 10 miles a day, and it is estimated that it will take about [-] days.

The victims went all the way north. If they want to meet the victims, it is estimated that it will take seven or eight days.

This has been a pretty smooth situation!

But now, in only three days, they have traversed more than 600 miles!

It has to be said that it is a miracle that cannot be replicated!

All of this can only be attributed to God's will. It is God's blessing, and they don't know that someone is secretly "causing trouble".

Lin Beifan also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "We will arrive in Huazhou in half a day, and most of the victims are there! Hurry up and notify the prefect of Huazhou, and immediately start a fire to boil water. As soon as our food arrives, we can cook rice." It's porridge!"

"Yes, my lord!" Jin Yiwei took the order, and rode on the big horse on the bank and started on his way.

At this time, beside the Huazhou River.

 …  

The prefect of Huazhou looked at the group of displaced, yellow and emaciated victims, and heaved a long sigh.

Food is gone!

Four days ago, after he received the task of disaster relief, he immediately raised food non-stop to relieve the victims.

However, as the local government, the food on hand is really limited, and it cannot afford to support the millions of victims.

Each person can only be fed once a day, and each meal is only a bowl of porridge, with only a little rice in the porridge, which can be eaten in two or three bites.

It can only ensure that you will not die of hunger, and you cannot make people feel full.

In order to keep the black hat on his head, he had to use some means to fish out some food from wealthy families.

Even the chaff was collected and fed to the victims.

In this way, it only lasted for three days.

Now, there is no more food in hand, and the victims have been hungry for a day, and they don't want to go on the road.

If another day passes and the relief food does not arrive, something unpredictable will most likely happen!

The victims who cannot survive can do anything!

However, he also knew that the capital city was too far away from here!

It will take seven or eight days at the fastest for the food to be shipped from there, and everything is too late!

His official position has also reached the top, whether he can survive is still unknown!

"What should I do?" The magistrate's face was full of sorrow, and his hair was grey.

Just at this moment, a Jin Yiwei rode over on a tall horse at full speed.

While riding a horse, he shouted: "Report! In one hour, the food for the imperial court's disaster relief will arrive! Please burn the fire and boil the water immediately, and the food can be put into the pot as soon as it arrives!"

The prefect of Huazhou was so shocked that he heard hallucinations.

Immediately rushed up to greet him, and asked Jin Yiwei: "So fast? The food from the imperial court really arrived in an hour? Did you not tease me?"

Jin Yiwei looked a little unhappy: "What are you doing to lie to you? This is military information, who dares to lie about military information, I will die?"

The magistrate was overjoyed: "Okay! Is it food transferred from other places?"

Jin Yiwei replied: "It's from the capital!"

The magistrate was in a mess: "Come from the capital... How is it possible? Even if you fly, you can't fly so fast!"

Jin Yiwei waved his hand impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, turn on the fire and boil the water quickly! If you delay the business, I'll ask for you!"

The magistrate gritted his teeth, and said in a loud voice: "Immediately turn on the fire and boil the water!"

Chapter 221: We Wait Ahead, Invincible!

When the magistrate gave an order, all the officials took action immediately.

Seeing this scene, the starving victims around us all burst into light of hope.

"Burn the fire and boil the water? So there is something to eat?"

"Great, I don't have to go hungry at last! But where is the food?"

"Where's the food?"

"Where is the food?"

……

Facing the hopeful gazes of the victims, the magistrate glanced at Jin Yiwei next to him, and said bravely, "According to what the Lord Jin Yiwei said, the imperial court's disaster relief food will arrive in an hour! Everyone, please stay calm, Bear with it, there will be something to eat soon!"

"The court's disaster relief food is here?!"

"Great, I can finally let go of my stomach and eat!"

"I almost thought I couldn't wait!"

……

The victims cheered excitedly.

In this way, everyone waited eagerly.

Time passed by minute by minute.

An hour usually passes quickly for everyone, but now it seems so long.

Every minute and every second is suffering, which is very difficult.

The hard work paid off, and while waiting anxiously, everyone finally saw a huge fleet coming from the other side of the river, almost occupying the entire river channel. Mo Hong started, and it was full.

Although the fleet is huge, its speed is extremely fast.

Even the escort troops on the shore had to gallop on horseback to catch up.

Jin Yiwei shouted loudly, and his voice spread throughout the audience: "This is the grain ship of our imperial court! The ship is full of grain, enough to relieve millions of disaster victims!"

The victims were even more excited.

"The food is finally here! Haha!"

"What a huge ship! It must be full of food!"

"You can let go and eat!"

……

Even the prefect of Huazhou breathed a sigh of relief.

The food from the imperial court was finally delivered, the victims were no longer hungry, and half of the pressure on him was finally relieved.
