The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 630

"Sir, as an official, do you not even understand these things?"

"The money was distributed down level by level, and by the time it actually reached the disaster area, it had vanished without a trace."

Xu Tian had his men record everything the magistrate said.

He must continue to investigate these funds.

But the most important thing now is to build the dam. If we wait until that money is found, you'll probably have already decided to abandon the project.

The disaster situation here cannot wait.

With construction in full swing, Xu Tian was also very anxious.

After returning the limited edition item, they went back to the inn.

Xu Tian held the topographic map, which showed that there were already many places where the dikes had breached.

However, the dikes here have not been repaired yet.

If secondary trauma occurs at this time, it will be difficult to remedy the situation.

Xu Tian sighed softly.

He ordered his guards to investigate the local people.

He thought he could gather the local gentry and merchants.

Hopefully they can lend a helping hand.

However, the guards who went to look for the person all returned dejected.

"Sir, those people not only refuse to help, they won't even let us in the door."

Xu Tian looked at his guards who had returned empty-handed.

I figured I'd have to go there myself.

But when he actually went to see those people, he got the same result.

These local gentry all refused to help those in distress.

"If we use this money to help repair the dike, the dike will be repaired, but then we'll be begging for food!"

One of the local gentry spoke with a dissatisfaction.

Almost every local gentry member gave him the same answer afterward.

However, what they said was almost the same as what those wealthy businessmen said.

They never imagined that repairing the dike would also benefit them.

Xu Tian felt extremely helpless.

We had just left the home of a local gentry.

He stood there for a moment and thought about it.

Then they went back.

"Knock on the door!"

He gave instructions to the guards around him.

When the door opened again.

The people inside were extremely rude.

"No, have we already made it clear to you? Our master will not see you again."

After opening the door, the guard looked helpless and said to Xu Tian.

You should know that they were just servants.

They couldn't afford to offend the person in front of them.

We can only use their master's words.

Their master doesn't want to see this person.

They didn't dare let anyone in.

After all, this could mean losing your job.

Who would be willing to do it?

Xu Tian immediately ordered his men to drive the people to both sides, and he went into the courtyard alone.

I saw that man with a big belly and a lot of fat.

When the man saw Xu Tian enter, he said impatiently, "What else do you want? Let me tell you, we have no money, and we have no life either."

After saying that, he immediately ordered his men to kick them out.

With just a glance from Xu Tian, ​​Song Ren instantly subdued all the people who came up.

The local gentry looked at Xu Tian.

"Sir, are you preparing to break into a private residence and forcibly seize property?"

Xu Tian smiled; that reason did seem plausible.

However, he looks so gentle and refined.

It shouldn't have anything to do with that word at all!

However, the reason why this comedian wants to burn him is quite valid.

"How about we make a deal?"

This guy is obviously greedy; he's gotten quite fat from eating so much.

However, Xu Tian could tell at a glance.

The man in front of me doesn't trust anyone.
