In the early morning of the next day, Li Changan and his party arrived on the Yunxia Treasure Ship.
Head to Wanchuan Fucheng.
inside the cabin,
Li Changan and twenty-six chief ministers sat together.
Ran Boping followed Li Changan's instructions and first gave a general description of the situation in Wanchuan Mansion.
"There are six counties in Wanchuan Prefecture."
"Half mountains and half hills."
"Especially in Wushan County, the westernmost part of Wancuan, the terrain is steep and complex."
"The Yan River flows from Wushan County into Wanchuan River. After passing here, the water flow becomes turbulent and then divides into three major branch water veins, namely Wanshui, Zhai River and Yaoshui."
"The terrain of the three major branch water veins is more steep. Although the Yan River is divided, the water potential rises sharply and can easily form a flood peak and impact the downstream."
"The flooding in the south started in early July. The reason was that it was rainy in June, and the water continued to accumulate. The two phases were superimposed, and finally formed this flood, which is rare in ten years."
Li Changan looked through the files and said, "Wancuan was hit the hardest this time. Three prefectures are currently providing disaster relief, and good progress has been made in the other two prefectures."
"Only Wancuan is under great pressure from fortifications. For us, it is also the place that needs the most attention."
"If the source of the flood in Wanchuan River is not eliminated, the three southern prefectures will never have peace."
"At noon today, we will almost arrive at Wanchuan Fucheng. Tomorrow you will be dispatched to collect information on various places."
"Thank you for your hard work."
…
The clouds travel fifty thousand miles in a day.
to noon,
Li Changan and others landed in Wanchuan Fucheng.
Soon, officials from Wanchuan Prefecture came to see him.
When he saw it was Li Changan, Tongzhi's face suddenly turned pale.
"Xia... Xie Liangzhu, a colleague of the official Wanchuan Mansion, has met the Councilor..."
Obviously he is a genuine fifth-grade person, and the right counselor is also a genuine fifth-grade person.
We could have treated each other as equals.
But Xie Liangzhu subconsciously called himself a lower official.
However, no one thought it was inappropriate to call him this way.
The city officials who followed him also bowed and saluted.
Li Changan's reputation has already spread throughout the three southern prefectures.
They carried out a massacre in Pingyao Mansion, even beheading a county official from top to bottom.
Although he did not raise the butcher knife again, ransacking his home became a common occurrence.
Everywhere he went, he wanted to confiscate all the local officials' homes.
Now that this evil star has come to Wanchuan Mansion, who knows what kind of disturbance it will cause.
Li Changan was not as arrogant as expected, but instead led a group of officials from the Southern Patrol Division to return the salute with clasped fists.
"I have met Lord Tongzhi."
"I wonder if anyone from the Southern Patrol to Zhenfusi will come?"
Xie Liangzhu still maintained a slightly bowed posture, "The counselor is the first group. I will let someone lead you to rest first."
"Thank you." Li Changan nodded.
Soon a general judge led everyone to the backyard of the government office.
While walking on the road, Li Changan asked Zeng Shicai behind him, "Has anyone taken advantage of the disaster relief money from Wanchuan Prefecture?"
As soon as these words came out, Tong San, who was leading the way, suddenly felt his heart tremble.
Zeng Shicai quickly took out a dossier from Xumi's treasure bag and flipped through it. "There is no clear record in the dossier collected so far."
"Don't worry, check slowly." Li Changan said softly.
When the judge leading the way heard this, he almost tripped over.
Is this Senator Zhongyong Bo going to cause another bloody storm in Wanchuan Mansion?
When they came to a small courtyard, the judge bowed respectfully and then left in a hurry.
Feng Buyi looked at the back of Tong Juan as he left in a hurry and couldn't help laughing,
"My lord, these words will shock them all."
The other principals and clerks also smiled and shook their heads.
They have seen this kind of scene too many times.
Li Changan walked into the courtyard, "If they all have a clear conscience, why should they be afraid?"
"This is an opportunity for me to prepare for them early."
"Otherwise, there is no way to take out so many properties, and I have to help them search their homes. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
"Since the others haven't arrived yet, let's take a rest first."
"Xue Shiqing, come here."
Li Changan pushed open the door of the innermost room.
Xue Shiqing quickly followed.
Walking into the room, it is transparent from north to south, fairly bright, and the interior decoration is quite elegant.
"Wancuan is mountainous and humid and rainy. I read in the files that local people eat chili peppers to dispel dampness and ward off cold."
Xue Shiqing nodded, "Yes, there are several kinds of local chili peppers."
Li Changan became interested, "Is there any local chili sauce or black bean sauce?"
Xue Shiqing pondered for a moment, "I've never heard of this. Locally, it's mostly dried in the sun, which makes it easier to preserve."
"As for the chili sauce, black bean sauce, etc. that your Excellency mentioned, I have never heard of it, but you can go and ask."
When Li Changan thought of chili sauce, his mouth watered and he couldn't help but smack his lips.
"Wancuan is mountainous and not suitable for farming. It is different from flat land like Pingyao."
"The next trip to Wanchuan will probably be more tiring than the trip to Pingyao and Yangdi."
"We have to help the people of Wanchuan find a way to survive."
Xue Shiqing took out a file and put it on the table, "Sir, this is the Wanchuan farming file from previous years."
"There are many kinds of trees in Wancuan, and fruit trees and medicinal trees are very common here."
"There are also people who grow medicinal materials at home, but only in twos and threes. After all, there are too many things to pay attention to when growing medicinal materials. Many people cherish them for themselves and do not want to pass them on to outsiders."
Li Changan opened the file, "Hawthorn, jujube, cork, Magnolia officinalis, Gastrodia elata, Scutellaria baicalensis..."
“There is indeed a wide variety.”
"But each family has their own way of growing what they grow and how they grow it. It's too scattered and they can't sell it at a good price..."
"We need to provide more guidance, and try to bring the same crops together to form a scale without reducing the varieties of these crops, so as to facilitate centralized processing of transactions in the future."
Xue Shiqing bowed and nodded, "Understood."
…
Wanchuan Fucheng is extremely lively today.
Especially inside the government office, it is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, as if it is celebrating the New Year.
Lin Yuanxing, the magistrate of Wanchuan Prefecture, and Xie Liangzhu, the magistrate of Wanchuan Prefecture, led a group of government officials to greet him and send him off. He kept bending his waist and never straightened up.
no way.
Those who came today are all big shots who cannot be trifled with.
In other words, he is a person who can directly decide whether his head can be kept on his neck or not.
Especially Li Changan, whose evil reputation spread throughout the three southern mansions.
No one dares to offend him.
Taking advantage of some free time,
Lin Yuanxing asked Xie Liangzhu on the side, "Has the evil star made arrangements?"
Xie Liangzhu knew who he was talking about as soon as he heard the evil star, and nodded a little uneasily, "It has been arranged to go to Honghuyuan."
"It's just that Liang Tongpan said that he has already started asking people to check the disaster relief money and food accounts."
Lin Yuanxing couldn't help but frown, "Didn't he just arrive? Are you starting to investigate so soon?"
"This is sincerely preventing people from having a peaceful life."
Xie Liangzhu swallowed his throat and said, "Really? Fortunately, we are not in Pingyao Prefecture."
"Otherwise, when he was left in Pingyao Mansion, he would be ruthless and ruthless, and he would never put down his butcher's knife."
"We are less greedy, so maybe there won't be any big problems. Moreover, the biggest problem in Wanchuan is not the lack of money and food for disaster relief, but Wushan County."
"We can't control that place..."
Lin Yuanxing was still a little worried, "You and I will entertain you well at the dinner today, and let's take a look at the conversation."
"If you complain when the time comes, everything will fall into place."
Xie Liangzhu nodded, "Your Majesty, the prefect agrees... But there is one more thing. I have not been able to make up my mind for a long time, and I need the prefect to make a decision."
"What's the matter?"
"Where should Uncle Zhongyong be placed?"
Lin Yuanxing was immediately stopped by the question, and his brows furrowed.
