Diao Geng, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, bought the prefect who spent 30,000 taels of silver. He originally planned to make a big profit when he first took office, but ended up in a drought that was rare in a century.

The people in the wilderness were filled with misery and they couldn't get it. This made Diao Geng very depressed. He was originally a small county magistrate of Qi County. His ancestors were all businessmen and his family was well-off. He wanted to spend money to buy an official and make a fortune, but he didn't even get it.

Finally, I heard that the court had allocated 2 million taels of disaster relief funds to Shanxi and Henan. Diao Geng's eyes were not wide open, and then he heard that the money was not done by the local government.

He was also very angry and cursed Li Wei, the governor of the two provinces, as a bastard. However, when he saw Jin Feiying and others in the disaster relief team, for some reason, Diao Geng had something different in his heart that was touched.

His deputy, Yao Bin, was indignant and did not understand what happened to Lord Diao, who always liked to make money. A guy like Li Tiewen who did not recognize his relatives, had he not been protected by Master Long Sui, he would have been unable to eat in the officialdom and would have been squeezed out long ago.

The two Dian officials in charge of household registration, Chen Shang and Wang Lou, looked at their prefect with a confused look on their faces: "Mr. Diao, if they come again to get household registration, will we not give it?"

You are the ones who say they don’t give it. You are the ones who say they give it. In the end, you are giving it a good word. After all, you are the top leader, and Yao Bin also stared at Diao Geng in a daze, hoping to get the answer from him.

Diao Geng was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was full of anger that he had not recovered the oil and water, and on the other hand, he was uneasy in his heart. He thought about it and looked at Yao Bin with embarrassment: "Or, let's give it to them. This is not easy for the victims to do so."

Yao Bin, who had a little expectation, was immediately disappointed. There was no way. It seemed that their magistrate was determined to help these disaster relief teams. Yao Bin sighed, and was still a little soft-hearted after all: "Mr. Diao, just don't regret it."

The officials in Taiyuan Prefecture are not good people, and making money is the primary purpose of becoming officials. However, in the face of such a disaster that is rare in a century, they are actually unable to be cruel.

Even corrupt officials, they are probably more or less conscientious. Humans are complex animals, and this world is not black or white.

"Report, report to the Lord, those people from the disaster relief team, they, they lived outside." A soldier hurriedly came to report.

Diao Geng and others were shocked and they rushed out of the government office. There was a large square outside the Taiyuan Prefecture Government Office. Not far from the government office, Jin Feiying and others from the disaster relief team simply set up a tent with air leakage on all sides.

Then, I saw someone burying a pot to make rice. The coarse rice porridge is their only food. Even such food still tastes so delicious. Everyone has a piety and awe for food on their faces. People who are hungry know the value of food.

They were all victims of the disaster, and it was Li Tiewen who saved them. The taste of hunger has penetrated into the bone marrow. Even the rough rice porridge is a supreme delicacy for them.

No matter what, this is the prefect's yamen. Diao Geng once invited them to stay in the yamen, and there would be three meals a day. But these people didn't. They still stayed outside and set up their own broken tents. Each of them held a thick bowl in their hands and a happy smile on their faces.

Everyone has different definitions of happiness. For Diao Geng, making money is the happiest thing. He is greedy and greedy, at least he can get back the capital he bought for his official position. If he can be promoted, he will be happier.

But for Jin Feiying and the others, a bowl of mixed grain porridge mixed with wild vegetables and tree roots is already a happy thing.

Looking at the people from the disaster relief team not far away and the officials at the Taiyuan Prefecture Office were all stunned. It turned out that happiness was so simple.

Yao Bin, who was originally furious, walked to Diao Geng and couldn't help but feel silent. Although the other party was dressed in a dirty and ragged manner, their character was many times higher than that of himself.

This is worthy of respect. Yao Bin saw with his own eyes that a scholar from a disaster relief group poured out half a bowl of mixed grain porridge that was not much in his hand and gave it to another soldier with a tall figure. The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to give in. But the scholar covered his job and didn't know what he was talking to him.

The soldier nodded with a silly smile, then buried his head in the bowl, sir...

When the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture Office saw this scene, everyone could not help but lower their heads in shame. They were also shameless. Think about it, when Diao Geng was hosting his colleagues a few days ago, there were big fish and meat on the table. Let’s take a look at the scattered soldiers and wanderers from the disaster relief group, what were they eating and drinking?

Moreover, at least he still had his salary. Even if he was often owed, he was still supported by the court. And the people of these disaster relief groups would not have a salary of a penny without the establishment of the court. Because Li Daiwen had the right to recruit them privately, but had no right to pay them a salary.

Although Li Tiewen had two million taels of disaster relief funds in his hand, he didn't dare to touch the money for any of the money, except for those victims.

Diao Geng turned to look at Yao Bin beside him: "Mr. Yao, do you think we are still stuck in the household registration?"

Yao Bin was infected, and suddenly his heroic spirit rose sharply: "Master Diao, ask them what else they need. We need our Taiyuan Prefecture to cooperate without hesitation!"

Who says dog officials cannot stop at the cliff? Who says bad people cannot do good? As long as there are people around you who can change you, use your strong personal charm to infect the other party, the prodigal son will turn back and never change his gold.

Jin Feiying and the others were also moved by Li Huiwen's personality charm, so they joined the disaster relief team without hesitation. Now, Diao Geng and the others are infected by Jin Feiying and the others.

Two days later, Li Daiwen took a bus to Taiyuan Prefecture. Diao Geng and others had already prepared the household registration information of their subordinates under Taiyuan Prefecture.

However, what Diao Geng and the others never expected was that when he brought a group of officials from Taiyuan Prefecture to the city gate to greet him, the one who came was actually a bad old man dressed in coarse cloth clothes and a donkey cart.

Beside Li Tiewen, there was only an old servant. The old servant was leading the donkey in front, and a thin quilt was on the broken cart behind the donkey. Li Tiewen sat on the quilt and was jogging all the way.
