Chapter 250 Timely Rain

Diao Geng felt ashamed, and the officials who followed Taiyuan Prefecture also felt ashamed. After all, this was a county government office, so how could it be like a slum?

Li Daiwen is rich, but money is also the money of the victims, so he dare not move a penny. The county government is just a thatched hut built with stones and mud on the spot.

It only took everyone three days of working hours and did not use a penny for the imperial court.

Generally, the lobby of the county government is a place where county officials investigate cases. There are room rooms where yamen runners are on duty and husbands live on both sides. The two halls and three halls are the offices of the county magistrate’s office, their staff and men.

But the Yonghe County Government Office of the mud is not so particular, so they can only follow the power in a hurry. The wooden tables, long benches, etc. that have been promoted to the hall are different. On the wooden table, the signboard, the printing box and the printing pad are placed on the printing rack, two red and black inkstones, and the pen hanging on the pen rack are red and ink pens, and the signboard is dyed with red and green paint, etc.

Although it was cold outside, at least it looked like a county government inside. Unfortunately, the only drawback was that the plaque with four large lacquer characters hanging high on the top of the head was replaced by white paper and ink.

Here, even a plaque was not available. Helplessly, Li Daiwen had to write ink and write four big words in a clear mirror, and paste them directly above the lobby of the county government.

There are many couplets in the county yamen, such as the couplets at the gate: "The heaven listens to the people and the heaven listens to the people, and the others are drowning, and the couplets at the lobby "I am like selling the law and trampling on the ground, and I dare to deceive the heavens in my heart."

Diao Geng stretched out his sleeves and wiped his tears that did not exist: "It's bitter, the government offices here in Yonghe County are bitter! Dear colleagues, you all take a look, take a good look, this is where our Lord Li works."

Diao Geng's meaning was that he wanted to praise Li Huiwen in front of his colleagues. But who knew that a ruling left in Yonghe County yamen replied with disrespect: "Prince, Governor Li doesn't work in the county yamen on weekdays."

Diao Geng was stunned and couldn't help but feel a little fever on his face. The flattering seemed to be wrong, and the master continued: "Mr. Li said that you can't see the real situation of the people in the county government. If you want to understand the public opinion and listen to the public opinion, you should go to the public to take a look. Only by seeing and feeling it with your own eyes can you know the sufferings of the people."

"Listen, listen, this is what we Lord Li devoted our efforts to the country and the people!" Diao Geng immediately became excited again. This time, the officials accompanying him finally nodded.

Finally, Diao Geng felt that he had saved some face. At this time, Yao Bin next to him asked: "Dare you ask this guy, where has Lord Li gone?"

The master bowed: "When I say this, Lord Li went to the most remote village in Yonghe County, which seemed to be called Xiajialing. Lord Li took the people from the disaster relief team to provide disaster relief, and I am afraid I won't be able to come back today."

Everyone was shocked. The purpose of their trip was to come from Taiyuan Prefecture to Yonghe County to meet their Governor to express their gratitude. Who knew that Li Daiwen could not come back today?

"Then, I don't know when Lord Li will come back." Diao Geng asked carefully.

The master shook his head: "I don't know this. It's common for Lord Li to go for ten days and half a month. I'll advise you not to wait."

Ten days and half a month are common... But what is the time to do? Could it be that everyone has come in vain?

Diao Geng frowned: "How far is Xiajialing from here? Can you take us there?"

Yao Bin was shocked: "Mr. Diao, what do you mean is, let's go find Master Li?"

"Otherwise, everyone has come here, so everyone has to go and have a look."

Since we can't wait for Li Waiwen, we will go to find him by ourselves. Didn't we just go to the local area to provide disaster relief? We also happened to see what kind of life the victims in this place were living.

He left when he left, but the temporary appointment of the Yonghe County ranked a guide for everyone and took Diao Geng and the others all the way to Xiajialing.

But after walking less than a few miles, everyone had to abandon their cars and walk on foot. Because there was no road ahead.

Diao Geng and the others soon regretted it. If they had known it was so difficult to leave, the bastard came here. But they didn't turn around. They couldn't just say that they were going to give up now.

Helplessly, everyone had to walk forward with deep and shallow feet. At this time, the weather was so gloomy that it was not beautiful.

Diao Geng and Yao Bin are both guys who are not touching the spring water. It would have cost them half their lives to hike in this rugged barren mountain. At this time, the sky became gloomy.

Yao Bin looked up at the sky: "Why is it getting gloomy this day? There is no village or shop in front of you. If it rains, it will be troublesome."

Diao Geng was about to nod and said yes, if it started to rain now, there would be no place to hide from the rain.

Unexpectedly, the guide in front looked up at the sky and shouted excitedly: "God, please be kind, please rain hard quickly. If it doesn't rain, the people will really not be able to survive."

That’s right, Shanxi has a drought and is barren land for thousands of miles. If it doesn’t rain, it will really be impossible to pass this day. If there is a heavy rain at this time, it would be like a timely help.

Only Diao Geng and others were praying secretly: Don’t rain, don’t rain. Even if God, you want it to rain, it’s not too late to wait until we get to the place.

Unfortunately, God seemed to be incompatible with Diao Geng and the others. Immediately afterwards, lightning bolts accompanied by the rolling thunder and heavy rain poured down.

Diao Geng and his other officials were immediately wet into a chicken. The guide in front of him danced happily and couldn't help but run in the rain and shouted: "It's raining, it's raining! The people are saved! The people are saved!"

Yes, a heavy rain is more expensive than anything else. This heavy rain finally eased the drought in Shanxi. People were looking forward to it, probably because they were sincerely moved the heavens, and a heavy rain finally came.

Diao Geng and the others all complained, and finally they stepped back. Yao Bin opened his confused eyes: "Mr. Diao, no, it's raining too much, let's go back."

Diao Geng nodded. He also meant that he could not leave anymore. This was not a human being. He was one step deep and one step shallow, and the front was muddy, so it would be better to go home.

Just as everyone was about to greet the guide and wanted to return halfway, a noisy sound suddenly came to mind in front of him.

"Hurry, don't let the rain get wet in the rain. Everyone helps grow grain, hurry!"
