095 Dong Cheng's Wrath [7/10]
...This natural disaster almost trapped the entire Jiangzhou here!
The entire back hall fell silent, and the three of them thought hard about countermeasures.
"The official has thought of a way!" Suddenly, Hua Chaoshi broke the silence, and both Fangtang and Wan Qian looked at him.
"What is the solution? Mr. Hua might as well tell me."
"Master Governor, the way to get down is very simple. Since we can't escape, why not stick to one place in the city. All we need to do is prepare food, water, and medicinal materials for doctors. No matter what happens outside, we will stand still and stick to our station.
…”
Wan Qian was overjoyed: "Wonderful! Master Chang Shi's method is very wonderful. I think it's feasible for me!"
Fang Tang stroked his goat's beard and frowned in deep thought.
At this moment, a servant's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the governor, Dong Cheng, who has joined the army, has asked to see you. He said that we have something important to discuss with you."
In the back hall with the doors and windows closed, Fang Tang, Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian looked at each other.
The three of them all thought that the purpose of Dong Cheng's request to see the governor... was probably to provide food for disaster relief.
"Lord Governor, you must not give the grain from the official warehouse to Dong Cheng!" Hua Chaoshi immediately reminded him.
Fang Tang's face was flustered for a rare moment, and then he immediately returned to normal and said: "That's natural, come in, open the doors and windows first, and then invite Mr. Dong in."
Fangtang had already spoken the second half of the sentence to the servant outside the door.
The servant agreed and opened all the doors and windows of the back hall of the Yamen.
Natural light pours in. Although it doesn't look so bright because of the gloomy sky, these wisps of natural light actually dispel the gloominess in the back hall.
After a while, Dong Cheng walked into the back hall.
After the ceremony, Dong Cheng went straight to the point and asked for the food in the official warehouse to be opened to provide relief to the victims.
He also described how the victims would suffer from the cold and disaster, almost bursting into tears.
After Fang Tang heard this, a look of difficulty appeared on his face. He was silent for a long time, and finally said:
"Master Dong, you don't know the laws of my country, Chen. If I open the official warehouse to release food without authorization, the court will investigate in the future. Not only will my official position be difficult to protect, but you will not be able to escape the involvement!"
"The food in the official warehouse cannot be touched!"
Hua Chaoshi also spoke: "Even if Mr. Dong is not afraid of taking responsibility, it will also implicate the governor, my own officials, Mr. Sima, and everyone in the yamen! Dong Cheng, can you afford it?"
"Dong Cheng, you can't be so selfish and put us in danger just to recruit for official positions!" Wan Qian also shouted.
"Why did Master Sima say this? The reason why I requested to open the official warehouse for food is for the sake of the people who have been affected by the disaster!"
Dong Cheng faced Fangtang directly and said: "Master Governor, the people affected by the disaster are crying for food. As the official of the imperial court, we can't just sit back and ignore it!"
"Hey... the people affected by the disaster are suffering from cold and hunger, and I am also feeling uncomfortable. Chang Shi, what are your plans?"
Fang Tang pretended to feel uncomfortable for a while, and then asked his first assistant officer for advice.
Hua Chao Shi adjusted his official robe and said with a smile: "First, the official warehouse cannot be touched. Second, the person in charge of disaster prevention and relief now is you, Mr. Dong!"
Hua Chaoshi stood up from his chair, walked to Dong Cheng, and continued: "The victims are suffering from cold and hunger. It is really pitiful. I am also very heartbroken, but..."
"Now we have opened the warehouse to store grain, and we will be the ones who will suffer from cold and hunger! I can sacrifice myself at all costs, but where is the governor? Where is Lord Sima? We can't just care about our own momentary pleasure and do things that harm our colleagues.
thing."
"Yes, yes, yes! Dong Cheng, I don't want to die!" Wan Qian jumped again.
Hua Chaoshi smiled again and continued: "Besides, Mr. Dong, you are now the person in charge of disaster prevention and relief. It is your duty, Mr. Dong, to raise food for disaster relief!"
"But……"
"Don't be fooled, Mr. Dong. The imperial court established charity warehouses to provide disaster relief and suppress food prices. However, the warehouse under your command did not work well and actually lost all the grain from the five largest charity warehouses in Jiangzhou!"
"you……"
Dong Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely.
Sicang, who lost the grain from the five major warehouses, joined the military. He was the previous one, and he was actually a subordinate of Hua Chaoshi... Whose order did he receive when he lost the grain from the warehouse?
But now, Hua Chaoshi turned around and said that it was Cang Cao who lost the grain from the five great warehouses, as if it was Dong Cheng's lax control that caused this to happen.
In one sentence, all the blame was placed on Dong Cheng.
Dong Cheng is furious!
However, he had nothing to say.
Because once certain words are spoken, it is considered as breaking one's face.
For both parties, the time has not yet reached to show off.
So Dong Cheng swallowed his anger forcefully.
There was only one pair of wide-eyed eyes staring at Hua Chaoshi.
"But I am not blaming Mr. Dong. Now that a natural disaster is about to come, we should unite. Only by uniting as one can we defeat this natural disaster that only occurs once in a century. Mr. Dong, don't you think so?" Hua Chaoshi said with a smile.
.
"Yes!" Dong Cheng secretly clenched his fists.
"Hey, Mr. Dong, these are difficult times. You have your difficulties, and the governor also has the worries of the governor. It is not easy for everyone. I still need to trouble Mr. Dong a lot of time to raise food for disaster relief!"
"I believe that Mr. Dong's ability can solve the problem of raising food for disaster relief."
Hua Chaoshi finally raised his hand to Fang Tang and said with a smile: "Mr. Dong, I and the Governor are your strong backers. You can do it with confidence and boldness!"
Fang Tang raised his eyebrows and said "sincerely":
"Mr. Dong, I have troubled you to raise food for disaster relief. On behalf of all the victims who are suffering from cold and hunger, I would like to thank you for your hard work, effort and dedication! After this matter is resolved, I will definitely have
Please report to the imperial court and ask for merit for Mr. Dong!"
Having already said this, Dong Cheng knew that it was no longer possible to persuade the governor to open the official warehouse to release grain, and any further talk would be in vain.
He secretly clenched his fists, said politely, turned around and left.
…
…
Dong Cheng had a strong anger in his heart, which manifested itself outwardly like a dragon walking like a tiger, walking like a wind.
It is paired with an angry and fiery face, which is very scary.
In the corridor of the yamen, the assistant officer who was coming towards me avoided him. He forced himself to raise his hands and called out: "Your Excellency", or "Your Excellency, who is recording affairs and joining the army."
When the officials further away saw Dong Cheng's appearance, they had already changed their route to avoid meeting the angry Dong Cheng.
