After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

After figuring this out, Guo Yuanchen now had the idea of ​​providing disaster relief.

Isn’t it just food?

He Guo Yuanchen has no shortage of it!

"Master Lin, I have sent people to check the granary. Although there is not much food, it can still last for a few days.

Together with the relief food you brought from the capital, it will surely help the victims survive this disaster.

After the people are settled, let's go to each town together to see the extent of the losses.

Then report the specific situation to the court and start reconstruction."

Guo Yuanchen looked serious, as if he was a diligent and caring official.

Lin Chengfeng suppressed his anger and curled his lips, "Just as Lord Guo said, the people in other resettlement sites also need to be relocated to the new resettlement site."

"Lord Lin, I've already thought about it. The towns most severely affected are all near Luzhou.

Although Luzhou also suffered considerable losses, fortunately, the terrain is higher and the people were less affected.

Several inns and restaurants in Luzhou were recruited as resettlement sites, and the government gave these shop owners certain subsidies.

Give them a plaque afterwards.

As for the victims in other towns, since the disaster situation is not as severe, there should be suitable resettlement sites in the town, and we can just send some food there."

Lin Chengfeng patted Guo Yuanchen's shoulder. "Lord Guo is indeed the governor of Luzhou. He knows Luzhou like the back of his hand. He has already prepared such a comprehensive disaster relief plan."

If this disaster relief work is successful, I will commend Mr. Guo for his contribution to His Majesty when I return to the capital."

When Guo Yuanchen heard that he was going to be commended in front of the emperor, he wanted to spend all his family fortune on disaster relief.

Lord Lin really values ​​reputation.

He had heard a lot of rumors about the Lord Lin in front of him.

The newly crowned number one scholar enjoyed the emperor's trust and was often kept in the imperial study by the emperor to discuss state affairs.

Even a first-rank minister does not receive such treatment.

Such a person must be different from other Beijing officials.

He could understand why people valued reputation over material things.

"Don't worry, Lord Lin. I will do my utmost to provide disaster relief and ensure that no citizen of Luzhou suffers.

I will go talk to the restaurant and innkeepers in Luzhou, as well as the grain shops."

Guo Yuanchen wished he could settle all the victims right away, so that they would have a place to live and porridge to drink.

Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

He had never felt so much energy in himself.

Lin Chengfeng and Guo Yuanchen separated in Luzhou City and watched Guo Yuanchen walking quickly towards the restaurant.

There was uncontrollable anger in Lin Chengfeng's eyes.

Then everything returned to calm.

There are many officials like Guo Yuanchen.

It's all for their own interests.

But now we can only push Guo Yuanchen forward, because Luzhou is Guo Yuanchen's territory.

Whether it was merchants or government officials, no one was more familiar with them than him.

If we go against Guo Yuanchen now, not to mention disaster relief, he will definitely join forces with government offices and merchants to hinder disaster relief.

Even with the relief grain from the court, it was not possible to settle the victims, let alone the subsequent reconstruction.

This requires Guo Yuanchen to keep an eye on it.

Even if Guo Yuanchen was removed, the new magistrate might not do a better job than Guo Yuanchen.

Therefore, even though he was angry, Lin Chengfeng still did not hold Guo Yuanchen accountable.

At least now is not the time to hold people accountable.

The most important thing now is to settle the victims, and everything else will have to be discussed later.

After several days of traveling through wind and rain, they arrived in Luzhou, and immediately started disaster relief work.

Lin Chengfeng's mind was a little blank.

He walked towards the yamen resettlement site with heavy steps.

Before arriving at the yamen, I saw two long queues forming in front of the gate.

The rain stopped and the air was filled with the aroma of rice, but there was sand mixed in the grain.

Lin Chengfeng naturally knew the intention. They were trying to prevent those rich families who had grain but still came to collect disaster relief porridge.

Holding a bowl of porridge and a whole-grain steamed bun, Old Man Lin looked at Lin Chengfeng, who was dressed in official uniform, from afar.

He himself didn't know how to face his eldest son.

Old Mrs. Lin, who was squatting on the side, was even more regretful. If she had not broken off the engagement, she would have been the wife of a high-ranking official.

If it weren't for Shen Yunwan, Lin Chengfeng would still be the head of the Lin family.

Look at yourself now, your life is almost in danger.

Old Mrs. Lin's resentment towards Shen Yunwan was rekindled.

Although Shen Yunwan had made their lives a little better before.

But after her grandson Lin Xiangdong passed away, the Lin family's fortunes fell into decline.

Even sadder than before.

In fact, even after Lin Xiangdong left, the Lin family's life was still better than before when they were hungry.

However, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Old Mrs. Lin has forgotten the days when she didn’t have enough to eat every day, and only remembers the days when she could eat meat every now and then.

Now, let alone meat, he almost lost his life.

Now seeing that even the magistrate of Luzhou was bowing and scraping to Lin Chengfeng, it must be that Lin Chengfeng was a high-ranking official in the capital.

Originally, all of this belonged to her, but was shattered by Shen Yunwan.

That bitch never came back after she went to the capital to enjoy herself.

She lived a comfortable life as an official's wife in the capital, but she herself, who had raised Lin Chengfeng, had fallen to such a state that she could only wait in line for free porridge.

Why!

Even though Lin Chengfeng was not her biological son, he grew up drinking her milk.

I raised him to such an age, but I haven't sent them even a tael of silver in the past two years.

If you say you want to break off the relationship, you really do it.

There was an uncontrollable anger in Old Lady Lin's eyes.

"Chengfeng." Old Master Lin called Lin Chengfeng timidly.

He stood up awkwardly, holding the bowl.

Lin Chengfeng nodded to him and said, "Settle down first. If you need anything, tell the officer."

Old Mrs. Lin also stood up and wanted to say something, but Lin Chengfeng had already walked forward. "Uncle Village Chief."

The village head stood up and said, "Cheng Feng, it's great to see you. It's great to see you."

She wanted to shake Lin Chengfeng's hand, but pulled her hand back unnaturally.

Lin Chengfeng took the initiative to shake the village head's hand, but it was just a normal handshake.

The village head was relieved.

Lin Chengfeng did not despise them.

It was the same attitude as before, which made Lin Chengyan feel more at ease.

Although Lin Chengfeng is now a high-ranking official in the capital, the village head and others still don't want Lin Chengfeng to think that they are trying to curry favor with him.

I just hope that Lin Chengfeng can ask the government to help the people get through this difficult time.

After the flood recedes, the village head will lead the villagers to rebuild their homes.

Of course, it would be great if the imperial court could provide assistance.

The guard who came with Lin Chengfeng from the capital handed Lin Chengfeng a bowl of white porridge and a steamed bun.

Lin Chengfeng took it naturally and ate it mouthful by mouthful of porridge and mouthful of steamed bun.

He hadn't eaten yet when he arrived in Luzhou and was indeed a little hungry.

He had already settled Shen Yunwan in the inn and given her some instructions, hoping that she would have a good rest.
