Chapter 226

In Brazil, where mianzhou county is governed, a large number of officials, squires and local tyrants are gathering. When master Bai arrives, it is already evening.

Instead of staying at the inn, he found a friend and stayed at his friend's house.

The landlord's friends are also the landlord's friends. As a local landlord, the other party's information is much more informed than master Bai who came from Qili Village.

He was very happy and happily asked the people to prepare good wine and dishes. He said to master Bai: "this time, I don't know whether it was God's luck or intentional people, but we are beneficiaries and deserve to celebrate. Come on, we won't be drunk tonight."

Master Bai touched him and asked, "why does Lord Wei want to come to mianzhou?"

Mianzhu is not the main disaster area. He is so busy in disaster relief that he should not come to them.

After drinking a sip of wine, the friend smiled and said, "when Lord Wei went out to relieve the disaster, he met two victims squatting on the roadside talking about mianzhou. They went out from mianzhou. Lord Wei heard that many people were affected here, so he temporarily decided to come."

He lowered his voice and said with a smile, "but I always think it's too coincidental. Maybe it's someone who wants to do it."

Master Bai first thought of county magistrate Fu, but he dared not say, "I don't know who it is?"

"Who knows? Maybe he is a man who is dedicated to the people. Anyway, he is not our assassin. " When his friend leaned back on the chair, he was still more used to sitting cross legged. Bai Li was not an outsider, so he directly sat up cross legged and said, "he had just arrived for the second year. If there were no accidents, I'm afraid he would have to stay here for four years. You don't know, he interviewed us as soon as the flood broke out. Several companies in Brazil have donated money several times, and more than once."

At this point, he was full of resentment and said, "up to now, I have donated five times."

Master Bai was startled, "so many?"

"Our assassin master is not enough. We jointly suggested that he write a letter to reduce or exempt some taxes. I dare not say that he will be exempted completely, at least pay less. Guess what? "

Master Bai shook his head.

"He was lying with his eyes open. He said that the situation in mianzhou was good. We shouldn't compete for profits with the people in other states and counties. After all, the money and food were nothing to us, but it was a life-saving thing for the victims outside. Hum, he looked good and said that we were heinous." The friend said, "yes, these money and food will not hurt us, but our clan has been here for generations. Who has no poor relatives?"

"The disaster in mianzhou is no more serious than outside. Except for some people who were killed and injured, most people's houses have been saved, but the most important thing is that the crops in the fields have not been saved." He said, "if we reduce taxes, we will tighten our belts and endure for a while. This year will pass, but if he doesn't reduce taxes, autumn taxes alone will kill people. Originally, the flood didn't die, but died in a man-made disaster. They want to force mianzhou into a desperate situation. "

"Hey, it's not as serious as you said. At this time, the imperial court is staring at Jiannan road. He dares to kill the people like this. The imperial court can't spare him before we move."

"Hum!"

"Is it settled?"

"Not yet. Lord Wei just arrived in Brazil yesterday. He went out for inspection today. He may have to go to other counties to see the situation tomorrow. Will you follow him?"

Master Bai always thought it was too easy for Lord Wei to come. He also wanted to follow and see the situation, so he nodded.

The friend smiled and said, "let's go together. By the way, what's the situation in Luojiang county?"

"Listen to you, in terms of the disaster alone, we are more serious than you. However, county magistrate Fu is willing to work hard. Not only the displaced people in the city have been comforted, but also the people whose houses collapsed have received subsidies. The people's hearts are more homogeneous and optimistic than yours."

The friend was curious, "how much money and food did you donate?"

"Not much, just twice. The first time I gave it to the victims, I only donated three loads, and the second time I donated twelve loads, which were basically distributed to the hardest hit villagers in Qili Village and Dali Village."

Zuo Yanming was even more surprised, "isn't it? Your county magistrate didn't stop it at all?"

Master Bai smiled and shook his head.

Zuo Yanming tut said, "no, I remember your Fu County Magistrate also loves money. Cough, although he won't squeeze the people, it's unreasonable not to leave such things behind."

Master Bai pointed out: "we Fu county magistrate have high aspirations and want to go further."

Zuo Yanming understood. As soon as his eyes lit up, he leaned over and lowered his voice and asked, "do you think it's him?"

Master Bai said, "don't talk nonsense without evidence."

"All right, don't say it."

After drinking for half an evening, they hurried to the city gate the next morning.

There were many people accompanying him. After all, tax exemption was a big deal, especially the country gentry with a prosperous family or many slaves.

Master Bai is not very famous in mianzhou. The main reason is that he chose to live in the deep mountains and forests. His reputation is not obvious, so he joined in halfway and few people noticed.

But strangely, Lord Wei saw him at a glance and called him to his side to talk, "are you Bai Li?"

Bai Li was startled and bowed nervously. "It's Bai Mou. I don't know what adults have to say."

Lord Wei laughed and said, "not at all. I heard county magistrate Fu mention you. You are a famous good man in Luojiang County, so I want to see you."

Lord Wei asked with a smile, "after hearing about the disaster, you not only fully the land rent of the tenants below, but also donated a lot of money and food to the people affected by the disaster?"

Bai Li was relieved, bowed his head and said, "this is what Bai should do. Mr. Bai lives in Luojiang. He comes in and out of the country. He can't be indifferent to the disaster, can he? It's just a little effort. It's a drop in the bucket. If you want to help them, you may have to ask people like Fu county magistrate, Mr. assassin and adults. "

Lord Wei said with a smile, "don't worry. If the situation in Luojiang county is really as you said, the imperial court will not ignore it. This time I come to Jiannan road to command disaster relief. If the victims don't settle down, I won't return to the imperial court."

When they heard the speech, they saluted together, "my Lord, the sky is blue, and the sage is kind."

"The sage is very kind..." Wei Zhi said so meaningfully.

Wei Zhi didn't let Bai Li go, but let him go with him. It has been nearly a month since the disaster. The family has basically cleaned up and there is nothing to see.

Wei Zhi mainly looks at the situation in the field, and unless someone deliberately takes him to see the field in good condition, he can't make a fake.
