Marry a Duke

The birds on the flower paths didn't even bother to pay attention to Chi Yang.

Not even an eye contact.

Chi Yang did not feel embarrassed and continued, "Before, the emperor ordered me to be the salt inspector, but I did not do my job well and was plotted against. This time, Dongzhou is flooded, and the emperor ordered me to go. Now I am being dispatched, so I will not leave the day after tomorrow."

Wei Xuan also got the news about the flood in Dongzhou.

Dongzhou was hit by ten consecutive days of heavy rain, which caused the rivers to overflow and destroyed a lot of fertile fields and houses. It also left many people homeless and even killed.

The emperor needs to send an imperial envoy to provide disaster relief.

Chi Yang is the best candidate.

Now the emperor is dispatching available food and other supplies, and will send more people to set off to Dongzhou with Chi Yang.

"Dongzhou is six hundred miles away from here. It will take a long time to make the trip. I'm afraid the people will riot. I'll give you a prescription." Hua Mo finally spoke.

Give Chi Yang a prescription for the epidemic.

First control the water, because once the water recedes, it is easy for epidemics to break out.

He can't leave now.

If you really encounter such a situation, you can take the medicine according to the prescription and still be able to resist for a while.

Chi Yang didn't hesitate and took the prescription directly.

"The Emperor has also sent several imperial physicians to go with me on this trip. I will give them the prescription and ask them to prepare it."

Hua Mo nodded.

"In that case, the Duke of Wei will also donate some things that the people need, and we will go with you."

Wei Xuan asked the manager to take charge of the arrangements.

Ten carts of food and clothing were prepared.

I will set off with Chi Yang the day after tomorrow.

"There is another person on this trip who will share the responsibility with me." Chi Yang came this time to tell Wei Xuan this crucial news.

"Who?" Wei Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"Ji Wuwei." Chi Yang said.

Ji Wuwei is not as incompetent as his name suggests. He entered the officialdom as the top scholar three years ago and has been promoted rapidly all the way, which can be said to be smooth sailing.

Now he has taken the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

If he can make another contribution this time, he will be able to make another push for the position of Minister of Revenue.

They all knew that Ji Wuwei had once been a disciple of the eldest princess.

He is highly valued by the eldest princess.

At first, the eldest princess wanted to marry Ji Wuwei as her son-in-law, but Princess Ruhui didn't like him at all.

Ji Wuwei was a short man with an unattractive appearance.

But he has some scheming and brains.

He has his own abilities to be able to sit in his current position.

The eldest princess can be of help to him, and once the eldest princess is punished, he can also distance himself from the matter. His tactics are really clever.

"The Ministry of Revenue sent Ji Wuwei, who else?"

"The Ministry of Works sent Li Xu."

Li Xu also had some connection with the Princess's Mansion.

It seems that the candidates for the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works were selected by the eldest princess.

When something like this happens, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works will naturally send people there together.

However, there are a lot of people in the two departments, so it is not necessary to send them both.

"Ji Wuwei doesn't dare to do anything openly, but Li Xu is the one who dares to touch the disaster relief funds." Li Xu loves money and is greedy for money.

The Li family is not short of money nowadays, but he has never given up the desire to make money.

"I will arrange for Bi'an to bring people to accompany you, and Yan will keep an eye on the two of them. You must be careful when going to Dongzhou. Don't let the same thing happen again. Otherwise, I won't be able to get there in time to save you." Wei Xuan said.

Chi Yang cleared his throat.

There was a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He was indeed too careless at the beginning, otherwise, he would not have been tricked and trapped by others.

"Don't worry, the same thing will never happen again. I have a few people around me. The emperor has given me a talisman. When necessary, Ji Wuwei and Li Xu will also have to obey my orders."

The matter of the talisman was given in private.

So far, only the emperor and Chi Yang know about it.

Now, Chi Yang told Wei Xuan, and there was also Hua Mo who was listening in.

"You are away, they have plenty of ways to disobey you." Wei Xuan did not take the talisman seriously. "It will take time to rescue the people and rebuild after the disaster. I'm afraid you will have to stay in Dongzhou for three to five months before you can return."

Chi Yang nodded.

"So, when I come back, I hope you're fully recovered."

Hua Mo on the side glanced at him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who do you think I am? He won't be well in three to five months. How can I face my ancestors?" Hua Mo's eyes were filled with poison.

Chi Yang chuckled.

"Yes, yes, yes. I forgot that it was Doctor Hua who did it himself. With Doctor Hua here, are you still worried that the poison can't be cured? It will definitely be cured."

Chi Yang left the mansion not long after staying there. He didn't have any free time at the moment as there were many things that needed to be arranged.

In this disaster, the people should be the main focus.

The rest can be ignored.

The ten carts of supplies prepared by the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion became the lead supplies.

In just one day, the disaster relief team added more than a hundred truckloads of supplies.

They were all donated by the noble families and wealthy households in the city.

Chi Yang will take the lead.

Ji Wuwei is from the Ministry of Revenue. He will be in charge of the supplies and follow closely behind the team.

As for Li Xu, he moved forward with Chi Yang.

Li Xu originally wanted to seize Ji Wuwei's job, which was a lucrative job.

There are hundreds of truckloads of supplies and if ten or twenty are missing on the road, no one will check.

But he was from the Ministry of Works, so he had to go first and control the flood.

Ji Wuwei got a good job.

Before leaving, Li Xu met with Ji Wuwei in private.

I don’t know what they discussed.

Li Xu was very satisfied and set off with Chi Yang.

When Fu Ran learned about the flood in Dongzhou, he was quite worried about the people in Dongzhou.

When natural disasters and man-made calamities occur, it is the ordinary people who suffer the most.

I don’t know how many people will die and how many people will suffer from this disaster.

But she was of little influence and could not really help.

After selecting a date, they decided to go to the temple to burn incense and pray to the gods and Buddhas to bless the people of Dongzhou to overcome this difficulty as soon as possible.

Wei Lin and Lan Yin wanted to go with her.

Mrs. Wei is old, so she doesn't hang out with young people.

"Second sister-in-law is right. We should go and pray for Second Brother, so that the poison in his body can be removed as soon as possible."

"Please pray to the gods and Buddhas to help the people of Dongzhou escape from suffering as soon as possible."

"I hope our shop will be prosperous as soon as it opens."

Wei Lin made three petitions in one breath.

Old Madam Wei scolded her.

"You, please don't speak without restraint and ask gods and Buddhas for everything. If you rely on gods and Buddhas for everything, how can gods and Buddhas take care of so many mortals in the world?" Although Mrs. Wei worshipped Buddha.

But she knew it in her heart.

Worshiping Buddha is just to make your heart calmer and more peaceful.

They don’t want the gods or Buddhas to do anything to them.

"Mom, it's the same for everyone. As long as the gods and Buddhas bless me, I will definitely fulfill my wish." Wei Lin said.

"Okay, okay, you go and petition. Lanyin, Nian'er is still young, so let her stay in the mansion. You can go with them. You don't have to bring Furan and Wuyou." said Old Madam Wei.

The children are still young and it is not convenient to bring them along.
