An upright official who "asks for orders for the people" and "does not hesitate to disobey the court's orders for the benefit of the people" is rare in the world!

Even if there was such a talent, he would have been suppressed by his superiors long ago, and he would be severely taught the ways of being an official and a human being... It is impossible for him to sneak into the position of governor of a state.

If so, it would be a miracle.

Fangtang, the governor of Jiangzhou, happened to be outside the scope of this "miracle".

Although there are many difficulties in opening the official warehouse to release grain, since Dong Cheng personally took over the matter, the matter has come to an end for the time being and moved on to the next topic——

The great epidemic after the great catastrophe.

When talking about a pandemic, we will think of doctors, medicinal materials, and of course death.

At the mention of medicinal materials, Zhu Xiuyuan and everyone present frowned again.

Because now the medicinal materials market in Jiangzhou is in chaos, filled with many fake medicines!

This is another huge pit!

What a coincidence, this huge pit was dug by Hua Chaoshi.

Because Hu Cao, the prefectural government official, was in charge of medicine, and the original Hu Cao who participated in the military affairs actually took orders from Hua Chao officials.

It took Dong Cheng two days to wrest back Hucao's power, but he didn't have time to rectify the medicinal materials market.

…

After everyone finished the discussion, the next step was to deal with the sudden rise in water levels in the Yangtze River.

There is nothing to discuss about this. Jiangzhou City is close to the south bank of the Yangtze River. Every few years, the water level of the Yangtze River will rise sharply. The local officials know how to take precautions even if they close their eyes.

Looking at this "comprehensive" natural disaster, the only two difficulties are raising food for disaster relief and preventing the possible outbreak of a major epidemic after the disaster.

After the discussion, it's time to assign tasks and organize people. My father-in-law is very good at this and arranges everything properly.

During the entire discussion, Zhu Xiuyuan rarely spoke, and Dong Cheng hardly assigned any tasks to him. It seemed that Zhu Xiuyuan was simply an "intern" who came to observe and learn.

The task arrangements were completed, and all the military officers and leaders of the third squad were ordered to leave. Only Zhu Xiuyuan stayed.

"Father-in-law, how sure are you about asking the governor to open the official warehouse to release grain?" Zhu Xiuyuan moved a chair and sat across from Dong Cheng's desk, and sat down facing Dong Cheng.

"My dear son-in-law, to be honest, I am not sure at all." Dong Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. After shaking his head, Dong Cheng continued: "The difficulty of this matter is probably comparable to dealing with the heavy rain and flood!

"

"hiss!"

Zhu Xiuyuan took a breath of air with a look of disbelief on his face: "Father-in-law, why is this?"

Although Zhu Xiuyuan expected that this matter would be very difficult, Dong Cheng's metaphor of "comparable to dealing with this heavy rain and flood disaster" still shocked Zhu Xiuyuan.

Dong Cheng glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan and explained patiently: "There are two reasons for this. First, the laws of our country of Chen stipulate that local officials are not allowed to use the food in the official warehouse without authorization. Anyone who does so without authorization may be punished with death!"

"Second..." Dong Cheng checked the doors and windows of the pledge room and saw that they were closed, so Dong Cheng continued: "There is quite a gap between me and the governor. The governor is very likely to use Chen Guo's laws to make an issue.

,thereby rejecting me!"

"this……"

Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless. He couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.

There were too many twists and turns here, and Dong Cheng didn't think Zhu Xiuyuan could come up with any good solution, so he said, "I'll give it a try and see what the governor says first."

"Oh!" Zhu Xiuyuan nodded, frowning, brainstorming, and thinking hard about countermeasures.

…

…

The other side.

After the "meeting" in the back hall of the Yamen came to an end, Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian left together and went to Hua Chaoshi's custody room.

Along the way, Wan Qian's face was full of confusion. He was eager to ask Hua Chaoshi why he recommended Dong Cheng to be the person in charge of disaster prevention and relief?

Even if Hua Chaoshi doesn't take that position himself, he can still let Wan Qian do it. Why should he give Dong Cheng an advantage?

Wan Qian is really puzzled.

After following Hua Chaoshi's footsteps and arriving at Chang Shi's custody room, Wan Qian closed the door and seated the guests and hosts. He immediately asked: "Sir, why do you recommend Dong Cheng so much? How can Dong Cheng be so virtuous and capable? How can he sit down?"

As for the position of commander-in-chief, according to my opinion, this position should belong to your Excellency!"

Hua Chaoshi raised the corner of his mouth, took a sip of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Master Wan, please tell me why Dong Cheng also strongly recommended me?"

"Forehead……"

Wan Qian was stunned, a look of confusion appeared on his fat round face, and his two small eyes stared at Hua Chaoshi, as if he was stupid.

Wan Qian has indeed not thought about this issue carefully, or even thought about it.

Wan Qian's entire mind was focused on the fact that "Hua Chaoshi strongly recommended Dong Cheng".

Hua Chaoshi took another sip of hot tea, holding the hot cup in both hands to keep it warm, without putting it down.

He tilted his head and stared at the confused Wan Qian, and asked with a smile again: "Master Wan, do you know how I made Dong Cheng accept the position of commander-in-chief? I don't hesitate to expose my own scars!"

Wan Qian was stunned again.

Yes!

Why did Lord Changshi and Dong Cheng both abandon the position of commander-in-chief?

That's obviously a good position to make money.

etc!

Wan Qian shook his head, causing the fat on his face to "swing".

"Sir, is this position of commander-in-chief... a hot potato?" Wan Qian finally figured this out.

"That's right!" Hua Chaoshi laughed, "Disaster prevention and relief work seem to have great power, but in fact, the most critical power is not at all. The rest is easy to say, there is only one thing that can make Dong Cheng survive this natural disaster.

The hit caused a bloody head!"

"Sir, what is it?"

"Food for disaster relief!"

"hiss!"

Wan Qian's eyes were filled with anger, and he suddenly remembered something. While taking a breath of air-conditioning, he looked at Hua Chaoshi with admiration and complimented:

"My lord, you still have a better move! Haha, there is no disaster relief food now, and the food allocated by the court cannot arrive so quickly. Hey, Dong Cheng is in trouble this time!"

"Wrong, Dong Cheng can't be defeated yet." Hua Chaoshi said with a smile.

"Ah?" Wan Qian was confused again, and the two small eyes on his round face were widened.

"What good does Dong Cheng's death do to us?" Hua Chaoshi asked back and raised his eyebrows.

"Then... what are your plans?" Wan Qian stared at Hua Chaoshi, feeling that Master Chang Shi was becoming more and more unpredictable, and he was filled with admiration.

"Master Wan, have you forgotten who owns the food in the five major warehouses in Jiangzhou..." Hua Chaoshi leaned over and whispered something into Wan Qian's ear.
