The magistrate said Wei Wei and invited Lin Shaowen to rest in the yamen, and after the dinner that day, Chen Qiushi said to Lin Shaowen; "Kotsuka Jae, I think there is a problem with this prefecture as well."

Lin Shaowen asked Chen Qiushi to continue, Chen Qiushi said that even if this rich businessman is in business, it is impossible to have so much money, presumably it is the help of the county, this is why there is such a little money, the so-called three-year Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, although the county is not so much, but to scavenge up, 100,000 taels is still very easy.

Chen Qiushi said from the perspective of this disaster relief, this time the cost of a day is probably less than one or two silver, and when the imperial court allocates the silver, they will be greedy for nine-tenths or even more, which is not a small amount.

Lin Shaowen said that he also suspected that the magistrate was also involved, but Lin Shaowen remembered Da Sikong's words, even if there was a problem with this magistrate, he would not be embarrassed, lest when the magistrate could not escape death, he would find a way to secretly harm himself.

Chen Qiushi said that this is also true, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, these magistrates are not good people, and they may do something.

The next day, Lin Shaowen personally supervised the disaster relief, looking at the moving eyes of the victims around him, his heart was also warm, he told Chen Qiushi that if the imperial court did not have these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, squeezing the people's strength, and these four people could each do their part, then naturally there would be no popular change.

Chen Qiushi nodded, and said that in the prosperous times of the past dynasties, all of them needed officials to govern Qingming, and those who were magistrates did not need to be talented, as long as they did not loot the people's fat and ointment, and in the event of a disaster, they could help the victims.

Lin Shaowen stayed here for two days, and told the magistrate that he couldn't tell when he would come back, if when he came back, there was a problem with the disaster relief silver, then leave him alone,

The magistrate said that he would definitely do it himself, personally supervise, and would never cheat on disaster relief.

Lin Shaowen left here and went to the next county, when Lin Shaowen heard the city gate, there was a non-commissioned officer of the Xiang army to ask for peace, Lin Shao smelled the location of the disaster relief, and found that it was not a cooked porridge here, but a wealth of rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, everyone took the spectrum and went forward to collect it, and then someone here kept an account, in duplicate.

After Lin Shaowen read it, he asked the principal, whose method was this, the principal naturally said that it was their county master, Lin Shaowen asked the victims, and learned that the loan here had to be repaid, and naturally there was interest, but the interest was very low, one stone of rice, if it was repaid within three years, it would be just an additional bucket.

The same is true for others, for the victims, it is better to borrow than not to borrow, and to repay it within three years, as long as the weather is good for the next three years, they can pay it off completely.

After Lin Shaowen heard this, he nodded, at this time, the magistrate also came to visit Lin Shaowen, when the magistrate saw Lin Shaowen, there was some panic, after Lin Shaowen saluted, the magistrate confessed, saying that the imperial court disaster relief was originally for the benefit of the people, but he had interest, which was really worthy of the benevolence of the imperial court.

Lin Shaowen said that this method was not bad, I don't know how Zhixian thought of it, Zhixian was a little ashamed, he didn't speak.

Chen Qiushi knew why Zhixian didn't speak, this is a variant of the Qingmiao Method, as long as you have read the book, you know, but Lin Shaowen obviously doesn't know, if Zhixian says it, wouldn't it make Lin Shaowen embarrassed, so Chen Qiushi said something in Lin Shaowen's ear.

Lin Shaowen nodded, and Chen Qiushi asked the magistrate, shouldn't the four prefectures on the left side of the river implement Lin Quan's Yicang Law? How could there be no food and rice once it was damaged?

The magistrate was embarrassed and told Chen Qiushi that the imperial court had such good intentions, but the four prefectures of Hezuo were okay at first with their fertile land, but later the dispute was slowly abolished. After all, this brother still has to settle accounts, let alone people from the same clan.

Chen Qiushi sighed and asked why the victims were begging for money this time, didn't they have food in stock?

The magistrate said that when the flood came, nothing was left, and many people's houses were gone, let alone rice and grain.

It's okay if this grain stock encounters a drought, but in the event of a flood, there is really no way.

The magistrate said this, saying that this time it was mainly the sergeant of the Winter Official's Mansion who was fully responsible, and did not clean up the river last winter, which led to the flooding of the Xuanhe River this time.

Chen Qiushi asked why no one told him about this matter, and the county magistrate said that the river had not been cleaned up for many years, after all, everyone was busy building roads now, and there was not so much manpower, so everyone thought that there would be no problem, but they did not expect that this year's heavy rain led to flooding.

After Lin Shao heard about it, he asked the magistrate if there was any good policy, and the magistrate's opinion was basically that it was better to block than to dredge and raise the embankment.

Lin Shaowen didn't ask more, Lin Shaowen stayed here for a day, and then went to other counties, these counties all received the news, and they also seriously relieved the disaster, Lin Shaowen didn't have a good duty anymore, and encouraged them.

It took half a month for Lin Shao to smell Fengcheng, Fengcheng has rarely seen disaster victims, after all, this is the southeast capital, the third most prosperous city in the world.

Lin Shaowen didn't have much feelings, and when he arrived at the prefect's yamen, he happened to meet the sergeant of the Winter Official's Mansion.

This is the only official with real power in the southern capital, the one in the capital, who mainly manages the Dijiang River, and the Xuanhe River is under his control.

Even his boss, the water doctor, does not have the right to him.

But now this sergeant's face is very ugly, it can be said that he is pale, without any blood, and now that the Xuanhe River is flooding, he is derelict in his duties, and the court will investigate it, and he will definitely not be able to escape.

What he can do now is to try to save it, give this matter a good ending, and then save his life.

Now that he is here, he hopes that the prefect of Fengcheng can mobilize some people to assist him in dealing with this water slaughter.

Seeing Lin Shaowen coming, the sergeant thought that the imperial court had sent Lin Shaowen to arrest him, so he hurriedly saluted, hoping that Lin Shaowen could give him a chance to handle this matter and remove himself.

Lin Shaowen said that he mainly looked at disaster relief this time, and he had not yet received any news about the arrest of the sergeant, and he really wanted to deal with it, and it was the people from the Qiu Guanfu who came, not himself.

After Lin Shao heard this, Sergeant Dian Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Shao heard that they had something serious to discuss, so he took the initiative to leave.

However, the prefect kept Lin Shaowen, hoping that Lin Shaowen could make suggestions together to solve this flood.

Lin Shaowen had no choice but to sit down, and then where the sergeant broke through the embankment, he had already found someone to repair it, and now all that was left was to pour those floodwaters into the river.

The four mansions on the left side of the river are mostly flat, and some places are relatively low-lying, after the flood recedes, it has also become a small lake, if you want to solve it, you can only dig a canal and export the water, Lin Shao heard that the sergeant had a countermeasure, so he didn't say anything.

Sergeant Dian told Lin Shaowen that what he is embarrassed about now is that it is almost summer, and he has missed the farm work season, and there is no harvest in the disaster area this year, what should be done, although this matter should be a matter of the local government, but the disaster is caused by him, and he must find a way to solve it.

Lin Shaowen was also embarrassed, this is a disaster relief, so it will take a year to save it, so the court can't afford it. Lin Shaowen said that he didn't know, he wanted to say that he would lend grain to the people, but if he borrowed too much grain, these people might not be able to pay it back, and there was no grain to borrow.

Lin Shaowen didn't know how to do it, so he could only shut up, this prefect knew the sergeant's thoughts, but he didn't want to, this matter was not a trivial matter.

This matter dragged on until the evening, but there was no result, the prefect asked them to have dinner first, during this meal, the sergeant looked at the table full of dishes, and there was no way to get off the chopsticks, and the prefect asked the sergeant if the food was not delicious.

"No, it's just that the official thinks that this disaster victim has no food to live on, and he can't help but feel sad in his heart, and it's hard to swallow, please forgive me."

When the prefect heard him say this, he could only put down the dishes and chopsticks and tell his subordinates that in the future, they would cut down on food and clothing, and the money saved would be used to help the victims.

When Lin Shao heard their statement, he could only put down the dishes and chopsticks and stopped eating.

The next day, Lin Shaowen went to Shenmu Mountain in person and saw Liang Fayao.

When I arrived at the academy, Liang Fayao was in class, and Lin Shaowen was waiting on the side, this academy was elegant, it was built with bamboo, and it looked very quiet.

At noon, Liang Fayao saw Lin Shaowen and saluted Lin Shaowen.

This is the first time Liang Fayao has met Lin Shaowen, Liang Fayao's first impression of Lin Shaowen is not very good, he has been teaching for so many years, and he knows that there is an elegant atmosphere in the scholar, and Lin Shaowen only has a luxurious atmosphere, although the appearance has a bit of Lin Quan's appearance, but the temperament is really different.

But after all, it was his teacher's eldest son, Liang Fayao didn't like it in his heart, and he still politely met Lin Shaowen and saluted.

After greeting for a while, Liang Fayao knew Lin Shaowen's roots, and told Lin Shaowen politely, hoping that Lin Shaowen could study more, so as not to lose Lin Quan's face.

Lin Shaowen naturally agreed, and by the way, he also said his intention.

Hearing the name Zhou Shuitian, Liang Fayao smiled and asked Li Changji and Zhou Shuitian to come out, and after the two sides met, Zhou Shuitian left first on the grounds that he had to go to class in the afternoon.

After Lin Shaowen said for a long time, Li Erren said that he didn't dare, and then Lin Shaowen also said that he wanted to invite, but Zhou Shuitian declined.

And Li Changji was interested, but he didn't want to notice, he wanted to go through the imperial examination to prove his strength.

In this regard, Li Changji also began to talk about Lin Shaowen, about this time to control the water, Li Changji was very dissatisfied with the current method of governing the Xuanhe River, he said that this is just a headache for the doctor, and the foot is just a pain in the foot.

Lin Shaowen asked Li Changji if he had any good opinions, and he could tell Sergeant Dianyan himself.
