The disaster relief grain team, which was regarded as a life-saving straw by the victims, entered the county government in a long way. Some careful victims found that these ox carts were only eighty, and each ox cart could be enough to pull 1,500 kilograms, and eighty cars were only a thousand stones, which was only enough to last for three or two days. If only this little grain was transported in the court, then at least half of the 150,000 and 160,000 victims would starve to death.

Just when everyone was in a panic, the clerk of the county government office came to announce that the governor Ai of the government office had personally escorted some of the food and grass to rescue and visit the victims. The first batch of 50,000 stones of disaster relief grain in the court had entered Duanzhou and would be delivered soon.

The joy was thunderous, and many victims knelt on the ground regardless of the mud on the ground to thank the emperor for their kindness. Some people were filled with tears. Their eyes were dismissed, who had originally planned to sell their wives and children, and waited for the rescue of the court to arrive.

Yang Siqi sighed in his heart that the heavens would not help me. As long as the news was two days late, he would kill the clerk who gave the porridge, capture the county town with hungry victims, and conquer the city and plunder the land all the way to the northwest, causing turmoil in the southern part of Dazheng. Of course, he knew that it would be impossible for these 100,000 victims to succeed. The life and death of these 100,000 people were just chess pieces in his hands. Ci did not control the soldiers. As long as he could flee to the Western Regions with a thousand soldiers, this trip would be called an unexpected joy.

When the news reached the south gate, many lazy men slipped away from the team on the dike. The group of people had a good idea. The county government's grain storage and the thousand stones of grain delivered today were enough to support the arrival of disaster relief grains in the court. Why do you have to work so hard to work on the river bank?

An important gap in the morning successfully brought Li Yubo's spirit to arouse. The remaining three gaps were not very important, and there were no villages nearby, and the water level was declining. The flood dropped by more than one foot in one morning. According to this trend, all the gaps in Duanzhou will be blocked in two days.

The husbands had tried their best just now. When Li Yubo saw that it was almost noon, he simply ordered the husband to make rice. In addition to the porridge, there were two coarse grain steamed buns. On weekdays, there were only one steamed buns in the afternoon. As for drinking two bowls of porridge for dinner, it would be better to deal with it.

All work on the river bank is hard work, and it is not enough to be full. The transfer yamen did not dare to deduct the food of the husband's servants at this time. According to the standard of 3,000 people, each person supplied the food at a standard of two kilograms of grain every day. Li Yubo dealt with several minor officials who deducted the food from it, and finally stopped the unhealthy trend.

Everyone smiled during the meal. Although the steamed buns on the river bank tasted average, they were big and solid enough. After two people had eaten, they could finally have a full meal. Lord Li also specially ordered each ten people to have a plate of pickles, which made people feel more and more delicious.

Jiang Anyi and a group of men sat around the dike. In the middle was a pot of porridge, each of which was holding two steamed buns in his hands. Everyone was talking and laughing, drinking porridge and laughing with Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi found that there were many half-aged children on the dike, with ragged clothes barefoot, and some were holding younger brothers and sisters, staring at the adults eating.

Someone scolded and said, "I can't even fill my stomach myself, so I can't give you anything to you. Get out of here."

Brother Zhao stood up silently, pulled a steamed bun in his hand into several pieces, and distributed it to several children. When the scattered children saw someone dispersed food here, they immediately surrounded a lot of them. Brother Zhao looked at the other half-bitten steamed bun in his hand in embarrassment, and gave it to these children that he could not carry the stones and could not do the work by eating porridge.

Jiang Anyi took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, which was so rough that it was hard to swallow. Seeing the child surrounding Brother Zhao, he also stood up and pulled the two steamed buns in his hand to disperse them. He was infected by Jiang Anyi and Brother Zhao, many men stood up and divided the steamed buns into several pieces and distributed them to these children.

"Okay, Li is really impressed by his kindness when he is in trouble." Li Yubo's voice came from behind, and Jiang Anyi and everyone turned around to salute.

Li Yubo held a steamed bun in his hand and smiled and said to Jiang Anyi: "I just promised you a steamed bun, and I will bring it to you."

The clerk dressed as a human, said, "Mr. Li ate the same food as everyone else. This steamed bun was saved by Lord Li himself. Why don't you thank Lord Li quickly."

"No, it should be Li, thank you everyone." Li Yubo waved his hand, and looked painful on his face, saying, "The river bank broke and made the people suffer. This is the responsibility of the Transportation Office. Unfortunately, the grain on the construction site is calculated to be fifty stones a day. In order to ensure that everyone has the strength to work, Li has no extra food to help these suffering people."

"Sir, I eat, live and work together, and I admire you very much." Jiang Anyi's words caused everyone around me to nod and praised Lord Li.

Li Yubo glanced at the empty porridge pot on the ground and said to Jiang Anyi: "I gave all your food to these children. Come to my tent to eat a few bites of porridge. I have something to ask you."

Jiang Anyi also wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Li Yubo. Li Yubo is a classic work of the Transshipment Office. All the river affairs were supervised by him. The disadvantages should be clearest. Judging from Li Yubo's behavior, he does not look like a corrupt person.

Li Yubo's residence was like the husbands and servants, all of which were tents on the embankment, but ten husbands and servants were one tent, while Li Yubo lived with two followers, which was relatively loose. When he walked into the tent, there was a sour smell that made him choked. It was raining all day long, and the things in the tent were a little moldy. Jiang Anyi saw white mushrooms growing on a wooden box next to the tent.

Obviously, Li Yubo and the two followers were accustomed to this environment and asked Jiang Anyi to sit down next to the small table in the middle. Jiang Anyi saw that there were five steamed buns on the table, one porridge and one plate of side dishes, which were exactly the same as those eaten by the husbands outside, and the few steamed buns were given to him.

Li Yubo signaled his followers to serve a bowl of porridge for Jiang Anyi. He grabbed the steamed bun and took it in his hand, took it, and swallowed it in big mouthfuls. After half of the steamed bun was removed, he asked, "What's your name? I see you speak like someone who has read a book."

"I was surnamed Jiang, and I read books with my father for a few days when I was a child." Jiang Anyi reluctantly emphasized breathing evenly to adapt to the smell in the tent.

Li Yubo did not ask in detail and said, "I think you have the strength to do some errands with Li?"

This Adult Dianzuo became a loving person and recruited Jiang Anyi. This opportunity was something that ordinary people could not afford. Jiang Anyi was a little amused and laughed. He acted in a full set and pretended to be happy.

There was a chaotic noise outside, and Jiang Anyi followed Li Yubo out to watch, and saw a long team coming. Wan Huaijie hid back to the Transportation Envoy's Office, and finally left a chief clerk named Wei to contact Li Yubo. Wei's chief clerk told Li Yubo the instructions of Chang Transportation Envoy, asking him to use these newly recruited victims to block all the gaps in Duanzhou within three days.

Li Yubo was very angry. He knew what Chang Yuchao and others had planned. He just wanted to block evidence of corruption before the imperial envoy arrived. The imperial envoy came to inspect and could not dig a dam to verify it. As for the gaps in other areas, he would slowly draw them.

The head of the king came forward to pay a visit and said, "Mr. Li, Lord Yuan asked Bei Zhi to send 200 stones of food for these victims to eat for four days."

If 8,000 people have 200 stones of grain, if calculated based on the amount of two kilograms per person, it will only be enough to eat a day and a half. If calculated based on the four days, these people will only provide 8 taels of grain a day. How could this amount of grain be able to work on the dam? It is obvious that I came to my own place to make the autumn wind.

Li Yubo rebuked without hesitation: "The dam is full of labor work. If you urinate a few times in the 8 liang of grain, you will be hungry. How do you let me drive these people to work? If you say that these people only eat eight liang a day, and the original people eat two pounds a day, are you going to let the disaster victims and people do a fight?"

Wei Zhubu is a confidant of the frequent transferee. He is not afraid of Li Dianzuo. He said with a smile: "Now 160,000 victims are gathered in Linhua County. It is thankful that these victims can have eight taels of grain a day.

Li Dianzuo just drives them to work. If anyone doesn’t work hard, naturally some people want to do it."

Li Yubo said angrily: "You want to use the flesh and blood of these victims to fill the dam. Chang can't do this."

"Dianzuo's master goes and the fortune master tells you to tell me if you have any anger, don't attack Wei." Wei's chief clerk responded sarcastically.

Li Yubo ordered the followers beside him to resettle the victims. He angrily returned to the tent. After a while, he changed into his blue official uniform. Someone led two horses and seemed to be really ready to return to the yamen to hit the wooden clock. Two close followers were sent to resettle the victims. Li Yubo caught a glimpse of Jiang Anyi standing aside and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

Jiang Anyi nodded, and Li Yubo said: "Follow me."

Li Yubo took Jiang Anyi to Linhua County with his horse on his back. The loud shouts from the chief clerk of Wei came from behind, "What are you doing here? You won't start work quickly after eating, so there are gaps, so hurry up and block them."

Jiang Anyi was a little puzzled, and urged Ma and Li Yubo to go side by side, asking, "Sir, why is that chief clerk so bold, ignoring the superiors and inferiors, and directly contradicting the adults?"

After a while, Li Yubo sighed: "The yamen of the Transshipment Authority is redundant and complicated, and each of them is connected. This Wei Shouquan welcomes Chang's Transshipment Authority. Relying on Chang's favor, he arranged more than ten of his relatives to serve in the river labour, eroding the national treasury and exploiting the upper and lower levels. I have reported to Chang's Transshipment Authority several times, but it is left unresolved, so the Wei chief clerk regards me as a thorn in his side."

After venting a few complaints, Li Yubo stopped talking. Jiang Anyi knew that he had known Li Yubo for only half a day, so he had a simple and deep conversation with him. Li Yubo couldn't say anything more to him.

The two jumped off their horses in front of the Transportation Office. Li Yubo strode in and asked, "Can Mr. Chang be there?"

The clerk who came forward to lead the horse reported: "Mr. Li, the Lord Transportation Envoy went to the county yard. Governor Ai visited Linhua County, and all the officials in the yamen went to pay their respects."

Li Yubo stood up and said in surprise: "Governor Ai is here?"

When he received a positive answer, Li Yubo immediately woke up and cursed the old fox in his heart. Although Li Yubo was dedicated to his practice, he had been in the officialdom for nearly twenty years and had a clearer understanding of the tricks in the officialdom. Governor Ai chose to come at this time because the imperial envoy was about to arrive and the Yuanhua River collapsed. As the governor of the state, he would definitely come to check it. If he came early, the burden of flood control and rescue would be borne by him, the governor. If he came late, the imperial envoy had arrived. Not to mention that accompanying the imperial envoy was a hard job, even the emperor would say that he was incompetent. Taking advantage of this time, the rescue was nearing the end. If he looked around, he could share the credit for the disaster resistance and bring some food. The victims would still be grateful and beat the number of people in one fell swoop.

Li Yubo was a classic work of being transferred from the Dushui Supervisor to the Jiangnan Transportation Office in June last year. It was less than a year since he said that he had never met the governor, but he knew a lot about the governor. This Lord Ai was named Ai Hua. He has been in fifty-seven years of officialdom and has been in the local area for 30 years. He has never been a Beijing official.

Duanzhou is the Shangzhou, and the governor has gone from the third rank to the third rank, and then it is the actual position of the six ministries and nine ministers. Judging from the actions of governor Ai, it can be seen that he has no such idea. He is an official in Duanzhou and pays attention to harmony, not seeking merits but seeking no mistakes. The Jiangnan Transportation Office manages officials from the upper and lower levels, and burns incense for this governor. Li Yubo was excluded from Chang Yuchao's group, but he vaguely heard that the silver gifts given to governor Ai were returned. Later, Chang Yuchao was replaced by famous calligraphy and paintings, and governor Ai accepted them.

Standing in front of the door and thinking for a while, Li Yubo decided not to join in the fun of the county government. He couldn't please him when he saw the governor, so he simply waited for the transferee back at the transferee. He had his own official in the transferee's office, and took Jiang Anyi in to instruct his subordinates to get some food, and asked him to prepare hot water, prepare for a full meal, take a shower and have a good sleep.
