The influx of large numbers of disaster victims made Su Cheng feel even more stressed.
The original number of disaster victims was enough for all the large households in Liuhe County to provide food.
Now the new victims have caused Liuhe County, which has been stretched to the limit, to collapse.
If it is not dealt with, the consequences will be very serious.
Su Cheng returned to the county government office, thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and wrote a letter to the prefect of Jiangzhou.
The next day, Chief He finally counted the approximate number of victims.
"Sir, the number of victims has been revealed!"
He Captou looked bitter: "Originally there were more than 30,000 victims, and more than 10,000 people came later."
Su Cheng's face darkened when he heard this.
You must know that there are only more than 20,000 people in the entire Liuhe County now. Excluding the old, weak, women, children and those from large families, there are only a little more than 10,000 people who can work.
Now there are more than 40,000 people, which means that more than 10,000 people have to feed 60,000 people.
Even if Liuhe County has a bumper grain harvest this year, it won't be able to support so many people.
"He Captou, please immediately send someone with my invitation and ask the other ten county magistrates to discuss it here in three days!"
While talking, Su Cheng took out the invitation he had prepared last night.
He Captou was stunned.
Although he accepted the invitation, he hesitated for a moment and still persuaded: "Do you want to ask those ten adults to take the victims back?"
"Isn't it possible?" Seeing that He Baotou had something to say, Su Cheng couldn't help but look up.
He Captou sighed: "Sir, I am not a mean person to talk too much. In fact, this matter is beneficial to the ten county magistrates. It is impossible for them to let the victims go back."
"They even want all the victims to come to our place so that they don't have to take responsibility."
"And since you have just taken office, they may not be willing to sell your face to come here."
"Besides, you have saved so many victims now, it's enough."
As someone who has been involved in the officialdom for many years, He Baotou is no longer surprised by things in the officialdom.
Now that there are so many disaster victims in every county, the magistrates of other counties cannot cope with it on their own. If they can divert the disaster eastward, they would be happy.
Besides, you, Su Cheng, are a county magistrate who just took office, so the old county magistrates may not take you seriously.
In the past few days, the victims in Liuhe County have slowly improved under Su Cheng's management.
This achievement alone is really good for a county magistrate who has just taken office!
Of course Su Cheng knew this very well, but he shook his head.
After standing up, Su Cheng patted He Shaotou on the shoulder: "There are some things that I actually want to let go of."
"But in the past few days, when I saw the desperate eyes of the victims and the corpses, I felt that I should still be able to do a very high job!"
"Okay, just go down and do what I say."
"Yes, but please take care of yourself, sir!" He Patou responded and went down to send out the invitation.
Su Cheng's achievements during this period were clearly seen by He Captou.
Not only Chief He, but also many government officials felt that they, the newly appointed magistrate, were working too hard.
I have stayed at the county government office for several nights in a row. During the day, I personally went to deal with the victims and observe the growth of the seedlings.
They admired such a county magistrate.
Although they know that the county magistrate of theirs is a bit crazy and does things eccentrically, they feel that their life is worth following following such a person!
No one in the current county government is disrespectful to Su Cheng.
And all of this was achieved by Su Cheng on his own.
The incident involving the victims of this disaster won him the respect of all the people in Liuhe County!
It's just that the new victims came so quickly this time that Su Cheng couldn't react at all. In addition, he was dealing with rice transplanting these days, so he was negligent and almost made a big mistake.
Looking at the rising sun outside, Su Cheng shook his head, and while arranging his clothes, he shouted:
"Come here, get ready. Let's go to Wangjiazhuang to see the victims and seedlings there."
At the beginning of a new day, Su Cheng was ready to go out for inspection again.
But as soon as he finished speaking, it was quiet outside the hall, and no one responded at all.
Su Cheng felt a little strange and raised his head to look outside.
Just smelling a gust of fragrance, Shen Youwei's delicate face appeared in front of him.
In his hand, he also held a basket.
"Madam, why are you here?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
"If I don't come, you will have to live in the county government forever!"
Shen Youwei was so angry that her eyes were red: "You haven't been home these past few days. I heard from the yamen that you go to work in the fields every day!"
"See for yourself, you have lost a lot of weight in just a few days!"
"And now, you haven't even eaten breakfast, so you are in a hurry to go to Wangjiazhuang."
Shen Youwei, who became angrier as she talked, passed the basket in her hand angrily.
"Hurry up and finish your breakfast before we talk!"
This guy Su Cheng is so hateful, he must want me to invite him back.
Humph, I just didn't have a wedding with him, so why do I have to live in the county government office every day?
Don’t think that just because you are a county magistrate, you can stop going home!
But why do I still feel distressed when I see this hateful guy's haggard face?
It's obvious that he won't go home, why should I feel bad!
If he doesn’t have breakfast, he won’t eat, and he’ll starve to death!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. Shen Youwei didn't wait for Su Cheng to reach out and take the basket, and placed it heavily on the table.
Su Cheng's mouth twitched.
Yes, my wife has lost her temper.
"Madam, it's not that I don't want to go back, it's just that I've been too busy these days." Su Cheng tried to explain to himself.
"You still said! You want to eat these things before talking to me, otherwise don't talk to me!"
At this moment, Shen Youwei was like a child throwing a tantrum. She must let Su Cheng finish eating before talking.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it, can't I eat it?" Su Cheng said as he opened the basket.
Inside are several white steamed buns!
Su Cheng picked up a steamed bun and took a few bites, and Shen Youwei lost some of her anger.
"I have heard about what happened yesterday. Have the victims from other counties come here?"
When Shen Youwei talked about this matter, she felt a little worried and had a sad look on her face.
My wife still cares about herself very much.
Su Cheng smiled secretly in his heart.
On the surface, he said calmly: "I will handle this matter. In the past few days, our Shen family will plant the seedlings first."
I said this, of course, because I didn’t want Shen Youwei to worry.
"Humph, you think you can hide your affairs from me!"
Shen Youwei pouted: "You wrote to the Jiangzhou magistrate and sent people to invite other county magistrates. I know all about it!"
"Hey~ My wife is still setting up a traitor by my side~" Su Cheng pretended to be relaxed and wanted to change the subject.
"Stop being such a mouthful, what are you going to do next?"
"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for this matter, and the ten county magistrates will definitely come."
After speaking, Su Cheng covered the basket and lifted it up: "Okay, I'm going to Wangjiazhuang. Madam, please go back first."
"Then give me the basket!"
"There are some steamed buns in the basket, I'll take them over for lunch!"
"Hmph, don't think I don't know. You want to take it to the victims. No, I have to go with you."
Of course Shen Youwei didn't believe what Su Cheng said.
She even felt that Su Chenggong said this to comfort her.
Especially the fact that the ten county magistrates will come to Liuhe County is simply impossible!
Why do people give face to a newly appointed county magistrate?
What's more, there are disaster victims in my own county now, and there are many things to do, so it is impossible to come to Liuhe County.
