Solving the flood problem does not mean that it will be done once and for all.
Although most of the floods were forcibly moved away by Ye Chen, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing with magic power, many problems remained unsolved.
For example...
After the floods raged, those homeless and displaced victims, as well as some plagues and diseases that were inevitable after the flood.
"Hey--"
After witnessing all this, Ye Chen did not return to the Jinshan Temple, but found Xu Maochuan for the first time.
"Master Prefect."
"Master Fahai, you are..."
It is not the first time that the two have dealt with each other. Not long ago, Xu Maochuan was suffering from a strange disease, and he asked Ye Chen to take care of it. After several twists and turns, finally, at the price of the Four Treasures of the Liang Palace, Xu Maochuan was completely replaced Recovery...
And that time, in order to make up for the loss of the Liang Palace, the Xu family also used a lot of things as compensation.
therefore……
Seeing Ye Chen, Xu Maochuan's expression was also somewhat subtle.
For one thing, the person in front of him had a life-saving grace for himself, and secondly, the Xu family suffered a lot of losses and almost offended the Liang Palace.
"You don't need to worry too much about the prefect. This time the poor monk is here, it is a great benefit to the prefect."
As if he could see what Xu Maochuan was thinking, Ye Chen faintly said: "The Qiantang River burst its dyke, Qiantang County and other places suffered floods. Fortunately, the poor monks and a few Taoist friends helped to resolve the flood, but this The impact of such a massive natural disaster cannot be completely eliminated by one person..."
"Now the plague is everywhere, and many more victims have been displaced. If the adult, as the prefect, can solve this problem, I believe that after the court knows about it, the due reward will be indispensable. Although it can't be added to the ranks, it will help the adults to make progress. A rare political achievement."
"Ok?"
A surprised look at Ye Chen, Xu Maochuan did not expect that the news that Ye Chen brought was actually related to the flood...
There is no doubt that the impact of this rare flood in a few years is not just for the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations. As the governing prefect, if the impact of the flood cannot be properly resolved, it will also make it. Become a target of attack by political enemies of North Korea and China.
but……
On the other hand, if the impact of the flood can be quelled as soon as possible, for Xu Maochuan, it would be a great achievement.
I have to admit that Ye Chen's words also hit the spot, which made Xu Maochuan quite heart-shaped.
However, after serving as an official for many years, Xu Maochuan has already developed a temperament of emotion and anger, and will not easily surrender the initiative because of these few words: "I don't know Master Fahai, what do you plan to do?"
"There is a prescription for the poor monk here, which is used to treat the epidemic after the flood... However, with the more than 100 people in the Jinshan Temple, it is difficult to collect enough medicinal materials for a while, let alone distribute the soup. Rescue the victims..."
Speaking of this, Ye Chen also said quietly: "So I want to ask the adults to come forward and collect medicinal materials everywhere in the name of the government. Of course... The Jinshan Temple will also purchase the medicinal materials at the market price, so as not to misunderstand others and cause the adults to get ridiculous reputation……"
"In addition, if the poor monk remembers correctly, the government will have the opportunity to conquer the people twice a year?"
"Not bad..."
Xu Maochuan also subconsciously frowned when he heard the word "college".
The so-called corvee is the unpaid labor that the ancient government forced the civilians to perform some large-scale labor.
However, this kind of corvee is also very particular about the time arranged. Generally, they will be transferred during the slack time. The government only provides meals and does not pay wages.
Now the flood has just passed, and the people have been displaced.
At this time, arranging the corvee, I am afraid that people will complain, even if it is forcibly suppressed, but once it is passed out, he, the prefect, will not escape a bad reputation of tyrannical and harsh treatment of the people...
"My lord misunderstood."
Noting Xu Maochuan’s look, Ye Chen also said faintly: "The corvee I was talking about is nothing else, but to let the adults arrange these people to build houses... After this flood, many houses collapsed, but it is still OK. Let these people build their own residences based on local materials. Firstly, they will arrange some work for them to support these people in the name of the government, instead of waiting for disaster relief from the court. Secondly, it can also reduce the number of refugees and avoid them. Some unnecessary questions."
As soon as this remark came out, Xu Maochuan didn't care about any restraint and nodded repeatedly.
"Wonderful, what the master said is very wonderful... I have long heard that Master Fahai was born in a scholarly family, and he is more talented in scholarship. If it weren't for...if it wasn't for the sake of a monk, I must have become a pillar of the imperial court. According to the master’s instructions, the officials ordered people to collect medicinal materials for the treatment of the plague and sent them to Jinshan Temple, and sent people to wait for dispatch."
"Thank you."
Ye Chen nodded.
He didn't worry that Xu Maochuan would be instigated by what happened before.
After all, this can be regarded as a win-win cooperation. Compared to Ye Chen's side, what he can get is just some invisible and intangible names, and what Xu Maochuan has obtained is a lot of political achievement.
If it is operated properly, plus the other party's more than ten years' qualifications as the prefect of one party.
I'm afraid that after this incident, the burden on my shoulders will increase again...
In fact.
As a prefect, if Xu Maochuan is willing, it is quite easy to accumulate merit.
Take this time as an example.
If it is operated properly, Xu Maochuan's accumulated merits are at least more than the merits of Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen, who worked hard to manage floods.
But the other party only needs to move his fingers.
As for Ye Chen...
He was the initiator of the whole thing. He not only provided the plan, but also came forward to cooperate with Xu Maochuan. He also mobilized the monks of the Jinshan Temple to cure the plague. Compared with the others, Ye Chen's merits were Big head!
God is the best!
In this regard, it is unambiguous.
In the following time, Xu Maochuan was also vigorous and resolute. First, he gathered all the pharmacies in and outside Suzhou city to one place, gathered all the medicinal materials on the prescription given by Ye Chen, and arranged a part of doctors to help. Prepare decoctions and visit the doctors to treat victims.
On the Jinshan Temple side, in addition to providing decoctions, there are also porridge shops in many places near the Jinshan Temple to save people.
This move also allowed the reputation of Jinshan Temple to spread further.
And on that day, many people also witnessed Ye Chen taking action to control the floods. It was passed down to ten, and under ten, it almost made the name of Zen Master Fahai become the Buddha of ten thousand families among the people!
