After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

On this day, the emperor sat on the dragon throne and listened to reports from various places. Seeing that there was nothing important, he planned to adjourn the court.

Unexpectedly, a middle-aged official of the sixth rank suddenly walked out of the palace gate. The official knelt outside the door and shouted:

"Your Majesty, allow me to report. The Yellow River broke its dike half a month ago. I reported it to the Secretariat, but I didn't get a reply until yesterday. The number of victims had reached 200,000. Please make a decision, Your Majesty." As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar.

"Why didn't the Secretariat report this to me?" The emperor was furious and looked directly at the Minister of the Secretariat, Shen Wen.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that the Yellow River has been breached every year despite the efforts of the government. This is a common occurrence, and I have sent people to investigate the situation every time.

The official who conducted the investigation yesterday just returned to Beijing, and he immediately reported the actual disaster situation to me.

The Secretariat came up with a plan for this matter this morning, so it has not had time to approve this report!"

Shen Wen knelt before the emperor, took out a memorial from his arms and presented it with both hands.

The emperor opened the report and saw that the words written on it were similar to those of the sixth-rank official, and his expression gradually became serious.

After seeing the dozen or so countermeasures, his expression relaxed a little and he immediately asked Shen Wen to stand up.

"Just do as it's written! Also, be careful to prevent locust plagues. If one appears, immediately follow Yao Chong's method."

After the emperor finished speaking, he remembered the sixth-rank official who was still kneeling outside the door, and immediately ordered him to enter the hall.

After asking about his identity, he was promoted one level and ordered to follow the disaster relief officials to the disaster area.

What happened in the court had nothing to do with Su Qinchao.

However, transporting the relief silver required troops, so the task was assigned to the Beijing Guard Camp, and Su Qinchao was chosen.

That afternoon, Su Qinchao received an order to go to Henan Prefecture to provide disaster relief.

He only had time to send a message home before rushing to Henan Prefecture with relief money and food.

The closer we got to Henan Prefecture, the more serious the disaster became.

In the huge Henan Prefecture, only a few cities adjacent to Luoyang remained, and the rest were almost all submerged in the vast flood.

Su Qinchao felt very complicated when he saw all this. In his previous life, he had almost only seen floods on TV.

Even so, the disaster situation was almost under control and there were very few casualties.

And here, there are still countless bodies that have not yet been salvaged and are still soaked in the endless flood.

Even those who barely survived were pale, emaciated, and their eyes were full of despair. Even the most mischievous children nestled in their parents' arms in fear.

This year, almost all the fields in Henan Prefecture were flooded, which also means that the grain that the lower-class people had worked hard to sow this year will not be harvested at all.

He faced these hardships, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but cast his gaze on the disaster relief officer.

This is Li Ge Lao, who was nominated by the Secretariat to provide disaster relief. He was originally a famous scholar who won the top three honors in the imperial examination during the reign of the previous emperor.

He once served as a chief secretary in a lower state, and was promoted step by step to the central government with his outstanding achievements.

He is well-known for his integrity and honesty, and he loves his people like his own children. He hopes to resolve the situation in Henan Prefecture this time.

At this time, Lord Li's eyes were red, and his body on the horse was shaking and he almost fell off. The personal attendant beside him hurriedly supported him.

"Master, cheer up, the victims still need you!" His master hated to see the people suffer. When he was transferred to Beijing, he was extremely reluctant and said that once he arrived in Beijing, he would be away from the people.

It was also thanks to the advice of the then crown prince, now the emperor, who said: "Only by having greater power can we benefit more people", that he made up his mind.
