Chapter Thirteen: Disaster and Invisibility

Li Yuanai did not wait for Di Renjie himself, but only received the brocade bag from him.

Looking at the tightly tied brocade bag in front of him, Li Yuanai asked, "Who brought this brocade bag?"

The guard who received the Jinbiao said, "He said his name was Duanmuhua, and when he sent the Jinbiao, he left in a hurry. The Shi Guard reminded him to pay attention to the scholar who asked Di Renjie for a visit. Before he arrived, he sent someone to deliver the Jinbiao urgently, which seemed to be a valuable thing."

He didn't know that Di Renjie was a scholar in white, but only knew that Di Renjie was the person Li Yuanai personally asked to meet, and thought he was a great person. Although he had not arrived, he attached great importance to the brocade bag he delivered and presented it respectfully.

Li Yuanai waved his hand to let the guards go down and checked in the Jinbao with a little caution.

As he thought, the brocade bag was covered with folded silk books.

In this era, the paper industry has begun to rise, but the paper produced is as high-end and easy to use as rice paper is too expensive, and the second is too low-quality and difficult to carry and preserve.

Silk cloth is the most popular writing utensil nowadays, lightweight and portable.

Li Yuanai opened the silk book and read it carefully.

After seeing the beginning, Li Yuanai stopped nodding and secretly praised: Di Renjie deserves to be Di Renjie, and he does a little practical, and does not delay at all.

Since Li Zhi's appointment and Li Yuanai became the ambassador of Jianghuai, he received no more than 100 reports on the disaster.

These reports are almost the same, and each screams miserably.

What happens once in a century, what people cannot eat, etc., are all describing the situation in various places.

Li Yuanai understood the mood they expressed, but it was meaningless to reality.

This flood has occurred and natural disasters are inevitable. Li Yuanai's heart is already blocked enough. He doesn't really want to know how miserable it is here and how miserable it is there. He wants to know something real.

If there are many disaster victims who need assistance, how much surplus grain is available for people to eat, etc.

These are what he cares about the most, but many local officials avoid talking about this, only discussing the terrible nature of disasters.

Li Yuanai was not unaware of their thoughts. After all, it was impossible to deal with such a large-scale natural disaster by the local government.

It is reasonable to not handle this.

Even in Sizhou, Zhang Da'an had the face of his father Zhang Gongjin, and there were also victims who starved to death and small-scale turmoil.

Zhang Daan has done his best, and it is not a mess. Even if he is not capable, it is normal for him to do so. Li Yuanai will not care about these inevitable things.

But avoiding details like this undoubtedly caused quite a lot of trouble to Li Yuanai.

Di Renjie's letter was different. He wrote in detail his experiences and experiences from the disaster area with the attitude of a bystander. His focus was not on the victims, but on the officials, and he wrote in detail about the responses and dispatches after the natural disaster came.

This future famous prime minister has shown his outstanding political vision, and he has seen through the key to this disaster relief.

If you want to minimize disasters, it is not the victims, but the officials.

With such a serious disaster, there will only be more and more victims, and the emergency allocation of officials is the real key.

Moreover, Li Yuanai cannot personally arrange every county and every household. His role is to final dispatch, and the actual implementation depends on local officials.

The capabilities of local officials will directly affect the efficiency of disaster relief.

Di Renjie's letter states the response measures of local officials when facing disasters.

Except for a few useless officials, Di Renjie tried his best to describe the performance of county and village officials with a neutral attitude.

Li Yuanai looked at it very seriously, with a faint smile on her face.

This Di Renjie is undoubtedly extremely outstanding, but it is obviously very different from the Di Ge Lao in history.

Mr. Di Ge, who has been through the officialdom for a long time, is able to be treacherous and cunning, and in the future, Junchen will play around. Now Di Renjie obviously has a bit of youthful spirit. He wants to express neutrality as much as possible, but he still shows some dissatisfaction with many stupid pig-like command and treatment, and he has a little appreciation for the proper management of individuals.

Intentional or unintentional?

Li Yuanai was too lazy to investigate carefully. He had no time to verify the situation one by one. Since he had been handed over to Di Renjie, he believed his judgment.

Those who perform well in the silk book will be rewarded, and those who perform poorly will be dismissed directly, and those who are virtuous and talented will be appointed as the top priority.

Li Yuanai was not ruthless at this moment when he was a mediocre person. At this critical moment, being an official of his parents was a crime, either being demoted or being transferred.

This time, he specially selected a group of capable officials from Jiangnan to take the order at this time.

Di Zhixun went to Zhenla Kingdom to buy grain, Wang Wendu, the ancient god went out to sea to fish, and with the comfort and cooperation of outstanding officials, he personally took charge of Sizhou to coordinate. Li Yuanai was full of confidence in overcoming this difficulty.

His confidence also affected the officials below, and the volunteer system was soon implemented.

Many of the victims were well-educated locals. They saw the political significance behind the volunteers and flocked to them.

In an instant, Li Yuanai had thousands of subordinates.

Managing these thousands of volunteers is far easier than managing hundreds of thousands of disaster victims.

Under the leadership of volunteers, the victims had food and began to fight for their residences, and simple sheds rose from the ground.

With a place to live, Li Yuanai arranged for them to understand the mud and organize the river.

After a major disaster, there will be a good harvest.

This is not a lie.

Because the fields are planted more and more deserted, as soon as the water rinses, the fertile silt in the rivers has laid a layer of natural fertilizer on the fields. As long as it is not a famine year, a bumper harvest will surely be achieved.

Clearing the river canals at this moment is already preparing for the coming year.

Di Renjie rolled up his dirty trousers and sat by the river eating tea-flavored rice, looking a bit miserable.

He was a family of officials and studied and learned literature since he was a child. Even though he was not pedantic, he never went to the fields to suffer.

What's more, cleaning up the river silt is much more tiring than ordinary farming.

"Brother Huaiying, what should we do next?" Duanmu Hua came up.

He was the guard who arranged by Li Yuanai to protect Di Renjie, and he did not take this young scholar in his eyes. But along the way, he found that the young scholar was talkative and easy-going, young and intelligent, with a pair of wise eyes, and distinguishing right from wrong. His words were all truth, which made Duanmu Hua admire him and all followed his horse's head.

After swallowing the rice grains in his mouth, Di Renjie said, "We are no longer in trouble."

Duanmuhua's face changed slightly and he whispered: "Didn't it mean that the Cao family has ulterior motives?"

Di Renjie said with a graceful look: "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Renjie only understands. The Cao family is kind and righteous to provide disaster relief, but also incites dissatisfaction, so he must keep his heart. I wanted to find out the truth, but the King of Wu turned the complex into simplification and controlled all the tens of thousands of victims. Look at the disaster victims around him, how many people can the Cao family incite? "
