Chapter 457 Unexpected Reaping for Nothing

Chapter 457 Unexpected Reaping for Nothing

"That's good, the county will bid farewell first!"

"Get off!"

Wang An nodded, then mounted the horse, turned the horse's head, and left here quickly.

"Congratulations to the county magistrate!"

All the village chiefs saluted in the direction the magistrate left.

It wasn't until the county magistrate and the others disappeared that everyone raised their heads.

"Village chief, why didn't you report it?"

"The fields of several families in our village have been flooded!"

A villager in the village looked at the village chief in puzzlement.

The same goes for the rest of the people, they also don't understand why the village head would lie.

This doesn't seem like the style of the village chief. Does he have any plans to succeed?

"Er Gouzi, who wouldn't know your thoughts?"

"Isn't it just that your house has been flooded with several acres of land?"

"Don't worry, these losses will be shared among the whole village, and each family will provide some food for those affected by the disaster!"

"We will never let the people affected by the disaster suffer!"

The village chief said coldly.

"Why, mayor?"

"Obviously the government has subsidies, why do we have to pay for them ourselves?"

Some villagers asked puzzledly.

"You guys, can you take a long-term view?"

"Think about it, are your taxes already too low?"

"Think about it, which family's tax is so low?"

"Isn't the lord paying the subsidy? And the lord only collects a little tax, so how can there be so much extra money to subsidize us?"

"To be a man, one has to be conscientious. If the lord falls, can we still have a good life?"

"We can't share the lord's worries, can't we bear a little loss? A little less subsidy is equivalent to helping the lord!"

"Don't many people want to secretly send grain to the granary? Isn't it the same as being sent back, and now it's used to subsidize people in their own village, isn't it good?"

"Do you know that seeing Qian's eyes open, you don't know how much pressure the lord is under now?"

"Money is used everywhere. I didn't see that the Lord came to our Huayin County. He didn't even have a mansion, and he had to live in the county government of the county magistrate. Isn't this a slap in the face of our Huayin County people?"

Hearing the words of the village chief, all the villagers felt their faces burning.

Only then did they understand the good intentions of the village chief. It turned out that they had misunderstood the village chief, not that the village chief had any intentions.

"Village Chief, I was wrong!"

"I can bear that little loss, so I don't need everyone's subsidies!"

"Yes, my house was also flooded. I absolutely don't want anyone to subsidize it. Anyway, the potato seedlings are still growing well, so it shouldn't be affected!"

“There was too much grain stored last year and I can’t finish it now, so what kind of subsidies do I need!”

"We need to ask for less subsidies. This time, my lord doesn't know how much I want to subsidize for us sick people!"

Countless villagers had tears in their eyes.

Jiang Chen was kind to them from the bottom of his heart, those ordinary people naturally felt the same way.

People's hearts are fleshy, and they are extremely simple. After hearing the village chief's explanation, they immediately understood that the lord wants to support the people of the whole world.

There will inevitably be tremendous pressure, and that little tax is simply a drop in the bucket.

If they continue to ask for subsidies, it will definitely make Jiang Chen stretched everywhere.

"Yeah, we have too much food, and we haven't been flooded!"

"Every household has food reserves, so there must be no subsidy!"

"I heard that my lord will build houses for everyone for free this year. They are all new houses, so beautiful!"

"How much will it cost? We must find a way to return the money to the lord when the time comes!"

"Yes, you can't chill the heart of the lord!"

The common people all felt that Jiang Chen had given them too much, but they had nothing to give back to Jiang Chen.

A year's tax is not worth the subsidy for the sick people this time.

For the sake of them, the lord may have been saving money, eating the same food as them when he was on the construction site and eating.

And it tastes so delicious, it seems that I have never eaten good food.

This is the lord, it is their dereliction of duty that they want the lord to live such a difficult life.

"Okay, now that you understand, go back!"

"Keep your mouth tight in the future! Don't tell this matter!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

The village chief said coldly.

"Understood, village chief, we know what to do!"

"Absolutely no one's fields have been flooded!"

"Correct!"

At the same time, as the torrential rain continued to move south

Sun Quan and Liu Bei, who were in the south, were also hit hard.

Their Yangtze River area is also an area where catastrophes are prone to develop. Once the embankment bursts, it will undoubtedly be extremely fatal to the people who live by the river.

People in ancient times lived by water.

Because everything depends on the source of water, there are many important cities along the Yangtze River.

The torrential rain for several days also caused the territory of Sun Quan and Liu Bei to suffer an unprecedented blow.

"Zijing, I don't know what the damage outside is like?"

"How are the victims doing?"

These days, for Sun Quan, his life is extremely tormented.

He was also very regretful in his heart. When he heard about the flood, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the two places are far apart. Sun Quan thought that his Jiangdong would not be affected.

But what he didn't expect was that the heavy rain heading south would deal a huge blow to the residents of his territory.

In order to deal with the disaster, Sun Quan had no choice but to secretly copy homework, and began to follow Jiang Chen's way of dealing with the disaster, immediately dispatching Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and other important ministers of the country to form a post-disaster team.

It specializes in dealing with emergencies in various disaster situations, organizing the transfer of victims, and the rescue of victims' property.

After a few days of busy work, Lu Su appeared in front of Sun Quan with a tired face.

As for Lu Xun, he was not here because he had been sending troops to attack South Vietnam. Moreover, Lu Xun was a general, so Lu Su and Zhang Zhao were better at dealing with civilian posts.

But Zhang Zhao went to Chaisang's base camp to deal with the disaster, and did not return for a while.

Although the disaster over there was serious, Sun Quan had not neglected the flooding of the Yangtze River because Sun Quan had been operating it all the time, and it should be within the controllable range there.

The most important thing is that the Dantu area has just been conquered, and the review and reinforcement of the dams have not yet been put on the agenda.

If there is a flood, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the people here.

"My lord, according to statistics, three dams have been washed away!"

"More than [-] acres of fertile land have been destroyed, and the post-disaster reconstruction is now in progress!"

"Ten out of ten of those potato seedlings can be retrieved, and the loss is estimated to be unpredictable!"
