For Chen Xi, it is a wonderful thing to have both his wife and children around him. Even if the conditions are more difficult, he can still be content with his complacent. √

Yesterday, Chen Xi was a bachelor like Tang Yin, but overnight, he hugged and enjoyed all the blessings of all the people. Whether it was Xie Yuner, Lin Dai, who had already started, or Xie Hengnu, who had just started, they all needed his husband to comfort him.

Anyway, there is no business in the yamen, so he can even stay in the backyard all day long. Xiaoyu, Zhu Shan and others will be responsible for three meals a day, and Ma Jiu, Zhu Qi and others will be greeted by the yamen. Chen Xi is like an emperor who is addicted to the harem, diving into the gentle town, throwing all business affairs out of the sky. Even the tolerance for going to the Guangzhou Administration and Envoy Office seemed to have been forgotten by Chen Xi.

When he was tired, Xie Hengnu pinched his waist and legs, when he was thirsty, Lin Dai brought him herbal tea, when he was hot, Yin Wen fanned him, and when he was hungry, Xie Yuner would prepare food... Chen Xijue, in a blink of an eye, his life in Wuzhou Prefecture changed from loneliness to freedom and freedom.

The emperor was far away from Wuzhou. He was the largest among the officials in the three provinces. He did not take the initiative to go out to cause trouble because of those who were officials burned high incense. The prefect of Wuzhou and the magistrate of Cangwu kept him away. There was no official business at all in the yamen. He said he was here to be an official, but no matter how he looked, he was like traveling around and taking a vacation to escape the summer heat.

"...My husband, the old lady is getting worse and she is bedridden at this moment, but somehow she is in good spirits. She always keeps talking every day. My mother said that the old lady wants you to go back and see, can you take some time to go back to Ninghua?"

Xie Yuner told Chen Xi about the Shen family in Ninghua County, but Chen Xi was not interested in it.

Yin Wen was fanning next to him. Chen Xi stretched out his hand and handed the tea over. Occasionally, he would stretch out his hand to tease Xie Hengnu, or make Yin Wen, who was unemployed, blushed. Chen Xi felt that he was living an unrestrained emperor life.

Chen Xidao: "My grandmother's condition worsened, was she stimulating?"

An elderly family has worked hard all their lives, and when they are old, they give up their responsibilities to their family. After Alzheimer's disease, they are lying in bed and are still thinking of scolding others. This must be caused by strong stimulation.

Xie Yuner was a little embarrassed: "It was probably because the old lady knew that her mother and I were granted the title of a pleasant imperial edict, so she felt a grudge..."

It's true!

In the eyes of Li, the Shen family made the greatest contribution. As for Zhou and Xie Yuner, they carried their shoes to her. Now, after Chen Xi became an official, others attributed the contribution to Shen Mingjun and his wife's good teachings. Even the imperial edicts and imperial edicts were only Zhou and Xie Yuner. How could she feel better if she was left aside?

Even if the Li family is old and confused, they still know the importance of the imperial edict. It is the highest honor pursued by women these days. They can glorify their ancestors and enter the ancestral hall after death.

If you don’t have an imperial edict, no matter how great the credit is, you can’t even enter the ancestral hall, even if you have made great contributions!

Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "In a short time, I don't have time to go back to Tingzhou. You should rest for a few days first. When your health recovers, we will set off for Guangzhou Prefecture and settle there."

When Xie Hengnu heard this, he immediately said aggrievedly: "Ah? Brother Qi, are we leaving again?"

For girls like Xie Hengnu, Yin Wen and 6 Xier, the hard work of traveling is the most deadly. They hope to settle down sooner. It doesn’t matter whether their lives are pure and hard. They don’t have much demand for their appetite. They just want to stay with Chen Xi, and live a worry-free life for the whole family, and be happy.

"My mission is to slap the bandits and appease the places. I always have to go to Guangzhou Prefecture City. After arriving there, I will no longer move. After three years and two years, we will return to the capital." Chen Xi smiled.

Xie Hengnu asked with concern: "What about you, Brother Seven?"

Chen Xi replied: "Of course I will go with you and settle down the house there first. It's like in the capital. When there is no business, I will go home to accompany you..."

Chen Xi said this simply, but he knew that he always had to lead troops to fight against local bandits, but some things could be adapted. As a civil servant, he could not charge himself. He just needed to direct others to do it, and he could only act as a coordinator and dispatcher.

But both the generals and soldiers had to call the troops of the three provinces, but now he didn't even have a subordinate who could trust.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "It's a pity that Wang Lingzhi is not here. If he is by my side, wouldn't the brothers work together to eliminate the bandits? Maybe he has left his reputation for suppressing Japanese troops in history. In history books, the famous generals against Japanese defences should be mentioned. In addition to Qi Jiguang, Wang Lingzhi's name must be added!"

This kind of thing can only be thought out of thin air. The Japanese pirates along the coast are far from being as rampant as the late Jiajing Dynasty. If the governors of the three provinces this time, Chen Xi could quell the local Japanese pirate bandits and organize powerful coastal defenses, perhaps the Japanese pirate rebellion in the future will be eliminated invisibly.

...

...

Chen Xi set the time to leave on the eighth day of the seventh month.

Let the women around you have a good rest, and then take a boat down the Xijiang River. It is estimated that it will take seven or eight days to arrive in Guangzhou.

At this time, the Sun family brought the gift again. This time the gift was relatively heavy, but it was just some fine fabrics, tea and local specialties, plus fifty taels of silver, which was considered a "big deal". But Chen Xi looked at him like a beggar... You don't ask me for help, and I didn't plan to collect your money, but I didn't even have the minimum respect. How could I help you?

Chen Xi’s way of dealing with it was very simple, and he directly returned the gift.

It was another matter whether he could help or not. He did not intend to go to a public letter in advance to inquire about the matter. After arriving in Guangzhou, he would see what was going on. The Sun family said that he was framed by the government, and Chen Xi would not accept it rashly.

Just as Shen Xi was about to leave, something unlucky happened and an earthquake occurred in Wuzhou Prefecture.

At noon that day, Chen Xi was having dinner with her family in the house. Suddenly, she felt a shaking place. Chen Xi reacted quickly, shouted "Earthquake, run quickly", then pulled Xie Hengnu who was sitting beside her, snatched the child on Xie Yuner's knee on the other side, hugged her in her arms, and rushed out of the yard.

Although the governor's yamen was a little dilapidated, it was at least a brick and stone structure with a strong roof beam. In the end, only two wood-rooms collapsed, and no one was injured. However, the situation of ordinary houses in Cangwu County was not so good.

After the earthquake, many houses in the city collapsed, and the specific number of casualties is still unknown.

Chen Xi was not sure how to deal with it. Wuzhou magistrate Cao Ju hurriedly brought people from the government office and Cangwu County yamen to see Chen Xi. It was obvious that Cao Ju did not dare to make a decision in the event of earthquakes. It happened that a governor from the governor of the Wuzhou Prefecture City just came to the governor of the three provinces, so he simply came to ask Chen Xi for advice on how to deal with the aftermath.

Cao Ju was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Hongzhi. He was over fifty years old. He became the prefect in six years and was promoted relatively quickly. However, because he was older, he had no room for promotion since then.

Generally, second-class and third-class Jinshi, and the officials are the officials of the prefect or the governor's office. However, those who are young and old have certain advantages. Because of their profound qualifications and worldly style, they know how to cater to the superiors. They usually get to the deputy envoy of the school and the deputy envoy of the school before resigning, and the deputy envoy of the censorship are short of officials, which is better to retreat from the position of the censorship.

Cao Ju, who was born in a family of officials, was from Guiyang, Huguang, and was close to Guangdong and Guangxi. He knew the customs and customs of Guangxi very well.

"...Shen Zhongcheng, Guangxi was drought in the first year, and there was another plague around Wuzhou City. The treasury was not sufficient, and now it is a natural disaster. Will you wait until the Guangxi vassal state report to the Guangxi vassal state before you can rescue the disaster?"

What Cao Ju said about disaster relief is not to plunder the landfill people from the ruins, but to allocate money and grain to provide relief.

The reason is very simple. The treasury is tight and there is no extra money or food. If you want to use the treasury to appease the victims, you must report to the Guangxi Provincial Administration Commission.

Chen Xi was depressed. Why am I so unlucky? I can still encounter an earthquake when I come to Wuzhou?

Now that Cao Ju has no money and food, Chen Xi cannot change it, he can only reply in anger: "How to provide disaster relief to the prefect Cao, there is no need to ask for instructions from me... I can't take care of myself and see off guests!"

To put it bluntly, Cao Ju wanted Chen Xi to take charge of disaster relief matters. This way, no matter whether he has made merit or fault, it has nothing to do with him. But Chen Xi would not take the initiative to cause trouble... I came to pacify the bandits along the coast, and natural disasters in the local area have nothing to do with me, so it is useless to tell me.

In the next two days, local disasters continued to be reported.

The epicenter of this earthquake was in the Tengxian Mountains in the western part of Wuzhou Prefecture, which affected the surrounding Pingyue Prefecture, Xunzhou Prefecture, Zhaoqing Prefecture, Gaozhou Prefecture and Luoding Prefecture in Guangdong. Chen Xi knew that things like earthquakes were not the butterfly effect caused by his arrival. They had been there in history, but they happened to be encountered by him.

The earthquake range was very large, but fortunately the intensity was not high. The impact of Cangwu County where Chenxi was located was not as severe as expected, and less than a hundred people died.

In order to prevent aftershocks, even if there is a house, Chenxi can only make people set up tents in the open area of ​​the yard.

In the absence of medical treatment and medicine, the residents in the city are still unable to rescue them, let alone ordinary people outside the city.

The prefect's yamen had no choice but to do anything about this, Chen Xi had no choice but to come up with a disaster relief plan temporarily, organize the officers from the prefecture and county yamen to build shacks on the open space, and ask Ma Jiu to go out to contact merchants, buy a batch of grain to come for emergency response, and set up temporary porridge shops in some places in and outside the city, so that homeless people can temporarily have a place to stay and have food to eat.

Originally, Chenxi planned to set off on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but because of this earthquake, his itinerary had to be delayed. Stay there and arrange disaster relief matters properly. Although he did not want to take responsibility for the local government, he still had a basic sense of responsibility. Moreover, as the governor of the three provinces, the earthquake was born under his nose. If he stood by, the censor would definitely criticize him.

Chen Xi brought not much money, so he could only buy some basic food and medicinal materials. As for other things, it needs to be allocated by the prefect's office.

Chen Xi took the opportunity to check the treasury of Wuzhou Prefecture, and the situation was extremely bad.

Although there is a background of the Wuzhou plague in the 14th year of Hongzhi, the treasury will definitely not bottom out. Since Wuzhou Prefecture is like this, the local treasury in Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian provinces are probably not much better. It is very difficult to rely on the local area to raise money and grain to provide him with war.

ps: The community was not notified that the power was out of power at 8:30 in the morning and did not come until 6:45 in the evening. It was a scam. The emperor quickly wrote a chapter...

The next chapter strives to send it out before eleven o'clock, cover your face and run away with tears... (To be continued.)8
