After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Chapter 77: I'll Take Care of the Victims

He is the new county magistrate. If anything happens, he will be responsible for it and it will have nothing to do with me.

So, according to his idea, he wanted to get the person here.

In this way, even if he is still guarding here, the main responsibility will not be on him if anything happens to the people!

Baili Zheng has seen many people like County Magistrate Wang.

He has had a lot of contact with it both in modern times and in ancient times.

When he heard this, he knew what it meant.

He immediately said with a half-smile, "Huarong County is indeed not far from here, but I don't know how Lord Wang plans to bring them here in this weather?

My father is a rough man, so if he falls or gets bumped, it’s no big deal. But for my mother, that’s not okay!

She is of noble status. If something happens on the way, then Lord Wang will have to think about whether he can afford it. "

Magistrate Wang looked at Baili Zheng's half-smile and felt a cold sweat break out on his back in such a cold weather.

Not to mention Baili Chen's identity, even Baili Zheng's mother, Jiao, is the cousin of the current emperor.

The current Queen Mother is my aunt.

It is said that the current emperor was afraid of the Duke of Protectorate and feared that they would have ulterior motives, so he married his own cousin from his uncle's family to Baili Chen, who was the prince at the time.

For this reason, she was specially named Princess Ruyi.

Although in recent years, the emperor has been afraid of the power of his relatives by marriage and the Duke of Protectorate's achievements, he has always intended to weaken their strength in the court.

But there is an old saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if they were low-key and seemed to have no power in the court, that was not something a small local official like him could calculate.

You have to know that the relationships between those families are very complicated.

Wasn’t it just a matter of someone’s words that enabled him to be promoted to a higher position?

In short, no matter what His Majesty thinks inside, he will still show the necessary respect on the surface.

Baili Chen came here to serve as the county magistrate, firstly to avoid the limelight, and secondly, probably in case the emperor took action against them, he might as well preserve this lineage, right?

County Magistrate Wang was so overwhelmed by Baili Zheng's words that he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Finally, before Baili Zheng's face gradually turned cold, he begged for mercy: "My Lord, please forgive me. I have no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

I am just a small official with little knowledge. Now that such a disaster has occurred, I really don’t know what to do.

I thought, since His Majesty ordered me to stay here, it must be to ensure the safety of the people's lives to the greatest extent possible.

The temperature is getting lower and lower now, and the rain will freeze into ice in a short time when it falls on the ground.

You can't get out of here, and you can't get in from the outside.

In addition, the rain came suddenly, so even the county government made preparations as early as possible according to your instructions, Your Highness.

But the surrounding cities have suffered severe damage. Even if we have prepared supplies, it is far from enough!

Not to mention anything else, how are we going to resettle the eight or nine thousand disaster victims?

It's impossible to ask them to work in this kind of weather, so the construction period will have to be extended.

By the time the disaster is over, there won’t be much grain left from the food collected from the people a few days ago.

So what about their food and drink?

If they see the weather improves and they have nothing to eat or drink, they will go back. It is impossible for the government to continue to conscript men for labor service, right?

If this is true, the people will probably make a scene..."

However, it is not possible without digging canals and building dams, otherwise after the spring of next year, half of the area around Muyang County will be flooded.

Baili Zheng also understood the situation. Hearing what he said, he realized that he was worried about the problem of supplies, so he said:

"You just need to take good care of the people, and I will find a way to solve the problems of the disaster victims!

As for my father, he didn't have to think of anything to pick him up.

If he wants to come, he will find a way."

When County Magistrate Wang heard that he would take care of the eight or nine thousand disaster victims, he breathed a sigh of relief.

What he is most worried about is the problem of disaster victims.

They were afraid that the victims would run out of food and drink and just leave.

When the time comes to conscript men for corvée labor, the common people will surely be dissatisfied and rise up in resistance.

If he only cared about the common people in Lanxia County, he wouldn't be worried.

After all, when Baili Zheng asked him to prepare, he did his best.

Now the grain in the government's granary has not been touched, and a lot of grain has been donated by wealthy businessmen.

As for things to keep warm, there are some shortages.

But Baili Zheng asked people to make a kang, and he also summoned craftsmen in the county to learn from him.

Now, people in the county know about this good thing thanks to the government's deliberate publicity.

I heard that as soon as it rained today, many people looked for craftsmen to start working.

At worst, he could let all the men in every household learn from him, and then they could do it themselves!

As for not having firewood, that’s not a big deal.

As long as it doesn't rain, there will always be someone who finds a way to go up the mountain to cut trees.

If you really can’t go up the mountain, that’s okay.

The tables and chairs in the house, as well as the beds we used to have, are all made of wood.

Even if you get struck by lightning, you can still hold on for a while, which is better than freezing to death!

County Magistrate Wang felt much more relaxed, and when he left, his steps were much lighter than when he came.

After County Magistrate Wang left, Baili Zheng locked himself in the study.

Because he knocked Su Xiang unconscious today, he received double the reward from the system.

Now he can shop in Baijia Supermarket for 200 seconds, which is more than three minutes.

As the heir of the Bai Group, he is very familiar with the Bai family hypermarket headquarters.

He was already on the second floor, and when the countdown started, he pushed the shopping cart and went straight to the rice and flour area.

Fortunately, he was young and had some skills, and there was no crowd, so no matter how big the hypermarket was, it only took him more than ten seconds to get there.

If Su Rongrong appeared here, she would definitely say that he was a bandit who entered the village.

Everything he could see, whether it was rice, flour, soybeans, mung beans, etc., was stuffed into his shopping cart.

Two hundred seconds is actually just over three minutes, but not long after, he appeared in the study again.

At the same time, there were a lot of things he took out from the hypermarket piled on the ground.

He originally thought that the shopping cart could only hold a few bags of rice at most, but it seemed as if it could never be filled.

As long as he picked it up from the shelf, he would be able to fit it in.

Look, there are many different brands of rice and flour piled on the ground.

These bags are mainly five kilograms and ten kilograms.

Of course, there are also soybeans, mung beans and other things, but the bags are small.

The heaviest bag is only two kilograms.

He roughly calculated that the things he brought out weighed about 700 to 800 kilograms.

It would be inappropriate to just give all this good rice and noodles to the disaster victims.

Thinking of the coarse grains, coarse flour and sweet potato rice that Su Rongrong bought because she was short of money, he began to grind ink and write the letter.

After finishing writing, he blew away the ink before folding it and putting it in an envelope.

Since the rice and flour in the study could not be seen in public, he planned to stay here tonight.

Therefore, whenever he called Da Hu, he would walk outside the study.
