The time of the disaster occurred was difficult, but it was also very fast. At least in the northern Zhili, the prefectures and counties affected by drought were like this.

"Natural disasters are not terrible, what is terrible... they are man-made disasters under the disaster."

Lu Xiangsheng, who was riding a horse, looked exhausted and sighed: "When he came to this Guangping Mansion, compared with the adjacent Zhending Mansion, that was the difference between heaven and earth.

These local mediocre officials and evil gentry are really hateful. Nowadays, it is a severe drought. They don’t say that they share the worries of the court, but at least don’t do too much!”

As he spoke, Lu Xiangsheng fell silent.

Although I was very indignant, I felt deeply disgusted with what the local officials, including the gentry under my rule, landlords and other groups.

However, under this great disaster, any evil spirits and monsters will not appear.

I am afraid that many innocent people in Daming Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture and other places will be annexed the land they depend for survival under this drought, and their wives and children will be separated and they will be sold as slaves!

‘No wonder Your Majesty, despite the opposition of the ministers in the court, also wanted to dismiss the posts of Zhili Governor, Baoding Governor, and specially set up this Zhili Governor.’

Lu Xiangsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the desolate fields in front of him, and thought secretly: "Over the years, the state has emptied the treasury in order to combat rebellion and build the enemy, and the rampant thieves in Shanxi and Shaanxi, but the national treasury has been hollowed out.

However, the plan to quell the rebellion has not been effective for a long time, and even the Jianlu, who are below, have entered the Ming Pass, causing a bad impact.

Northern Zhili is where the emperor is under the imperial throne. It is all about this situation in front of him. What about other places in the Ming Dynasty?’

Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to think about it carefully. He was afraid that the Ming Dynasty he thought was not like that at all, with mountains pressing against him.

The position of governor of Zhili is not that easy to do.

The remnants of the White Lotus and the drought in Duofu in front of you.

The existing government is corrupt, collusion between officials and gentry, public grievances are everywhere, taxes are collapsed, treasury is empty, military preparations are slack, etc.

Even if he has really taken the position of governor of Zhili by suppressing the remnants of Bai Lian, he has never faced any of the problems he faces later.

"Governor, when he was inquiring about the disaster, he heard that Shunde, Guangping and other places, the places where the imperial villages are located are actively opening porridge farms."

Liu Yuanchang's tiger's eyes opened slightly and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "After the march from Baoding this way, although there were disaster victims, the scale was not very large.

It happened that there was a royal village in Wei County, not far from our headquarters. If the rumors were true, can the governor use the disaster relief work to carry out the disaster relief work this time?"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and he was quite disgusted with the eunuchs of the Palm Village under the imperial village where he set up. Previously, Lu Xiangsheng knew that these eunuchs of the Palm Village bullied and bullied the people with their power.

However, during the period when Lu Xiang was promoted to the position of Governor of Ji Liao, Emperor Chongzhen had eliminated all the greedy eunuchs in the Palm Village and the thieves and rats under the name of the inner court.

The current group of eunuchs in the Zhangzhuang who have been in office for a long time have learned from such a lesson. In addition, under the control of the internal factory and the supervision of the Western Factory, no one dares to do anything tyrannical again.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know about this.

During the Governor of Ji Liao, Lu Xiangsheng was busy rectifying border towns and sorting out the military affairs of Ji Mi Yongsan. He was extremely busy and had no intention of caring about matters that had nothing to do with his power.

"Let's wait before talking about this."

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said, "The most urgent task at the moment is to rush to Yongping Prefecture first. Even if you want to provide comprehensive disaster relief, you must control the place.

The disaster situations of the counties under Yongping Prefecture are different, and the adjacent Shunde Prefecture is also known to be relatively severe.

There are too many things that need to be understood, and I haven’t learned about it. In addition, if the White Lotus incident is not handled carefully, it will cause chaos in the people.”

As he said that, Lu Xiangsheng moved his sore arms, although he knew in his heart that the Tianxiong Army he was commanding had been marching for several days, and his men under his command were relatively tired.

But disaster relief is urgent, now is not the time to relax.

"Dadada..."

The rapid sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and it was called the Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng, and they all became alert, but they soon relaxed.

But a team of Jinyiwei in personal uniforms surrounded by several eunuchs from the inner court. Under the guidance of the Tianxiong Army in the back formation, they rushed towards Lu Xiangsheng's place.

"Governor Lu!"

Zheng Zhong, the eunuch of the West Factory who was rushing to the dust, saw Lu Xiangsheng, his eyes lit up. He rode his horse to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Our family can find you."

"Eunuch Zheng?"

Seeing the visitor clearly, Lu Xiangsheng felt puzzled in his eyebrows and said.

"Governor Lu still remembers our family." Zheng Zhong smiled and said, "I won't say anything more. Our family will pass on a secret decree to Governor Lu according to the emperor's will."

After saying that, he turned over and dismounted and took out a secret order from his arms. Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng quickly turned over and dismounted. The generals and schoolmen who were accompanying him all hurriedly started to hesitate.

However, the disaster is serious at the moment, and all the etiquette and rules have been eliminated. This is what Emperor Chongzhen said personally.

"Beizhili Disaster Relief Administration?"

Under Zheng Zhong and the others' gaze, after reading the secret order, Lu Xiangsheng frowned and muttered: "Your Majesty is wise to take away disaster relief from the court and the local government. Then the greedy and ink disaster relief food and money can

It has been curbed."

Thinking of the way south from Baoding Prefecture, especially after rushing to Guangping Prefecture, Lu Xiangsheng felt deeply disgusted with some local officials.

"Governor Lu, the emperor said that the disaster relief matters in Zhili are all part of your family." Seeing Lu Xiangsheng after reading the secret report, Zheng Zhong stepped forward and said.

"Involving the Disaster Relief Administration, the officials and officials recruited by you should pay attention to it. Through disaster relief, you should often hone a group of talents for the dynasty.

We must win them over well. These hard-working talents will be the reliance of the Qing family to govern the local area in the future, and it will be the place where the country and the dynasty will share the worries.

The food and money required for disaster relief are involved. I have sent the Military Affairs Office, Jinyiwei and Xichang to escort the food and money, and will be transported to the disaster area soon.

I know that it is not easy for my family. I hope that during the disaster relief period, I can take care of my health and share my worries."

After hearing the emperor's oral orders passed by Zheng Zhong, Lu Xiangsheng looked a little moved. He bowed and bowed to the direction of the capital and said, "Please rest assured, I will do my best to share your worries and the country!"

Originally, in Lu Xiangsheng's mind, he was somewhat unsure about the disaster relief incident in Zhili. After all, the main part of the disaster relief is food and wages.

However, under the arrangement of Emperor Chongzhen, the Northern Zhili Disaster Relief Administration was established, which recruited local students and allocated food and salary for disaster relief.

This is called Lu Xiangsheng's heart, and it also stabilized.
