The tranquility of the morning was broken by this sudden news.

But as a contractor, you naturally have to contract everything God has given you.

Although God has not favored Guo Dan yet, it is either drought or flooding, it is really a life-threatening death.

At this time, Guo Dan did not dare to put his hopes on the court, not even a trace of it, because he did not trust the court at all, and his efficiency would definitely lead him to hell.

This kind of thing can only be done by yourself.

The entire tooth shop was mobilized immediately.

food.

In the face of disaster, food is always the first priority.

Guo Dan asked them to send a message to various money houses immediately, asking them to observe the food situation in various places, and ready to buy a large amount of food at any time, and send a message to Li Tong, asking him to find out how many grain ships there are on the river that belong to the Yashang River, and how many grain ships can be drawn into Kaifeng Prefecture and Weihui Prefecture.

Even Zhu Yaoyi was unconsciously devoted to work. This accident prompted her to quickly become the secretary, and she mainly helped Guo Dan write letters.

Having said that, Guo Dan really lacks such a person. After all, Xiaoxiao and the others are just graduated from elementary school and their writing skills are still not very good. Generally, important letters are Aunt Xu and Kou Weisha.

But Aunt Xu doesn't come often, Kou Weisha is sometimes very busy, and Zhu Yaoyao is outstanding in writing, even a little too outstanding, resulting in a commercial letter written in a wonderful life, which is not necessarily understood by Cao Xiaodong and others.

In any case, this made Zhu Yaoyi quickly gain confidence.

"What's wrong?"

Although Aunt Xu, who was late, did not know the reason, the employee who was already running outside undoubtedly told her that something must have happened.

“It’s a story about excessive prayer.”

Guo Dan, who was standing at the secretary's desk, shrugged with a wry smile, and said to Zhu Yaoma: "That's probably what it means."

Zhu Yaoyao nodded and said, "I understand."

Aunt Xu also glanced at Zhu Yaoma, frowned slightly, and when Guo Dan walked over, she asked in a low voice: "Who is she?"

"you guess!"

Guo Tan smiled.

Aunt Xu said, "Then you don't need to guess." At this point, she whispered: "Your move is still high."

She immediately understood and couldn't help but scream in her heart.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Guo Dan smiled and reached out and said, "Please sit down."

He did not intend to hide it from Aunt Xu, because he knew that Aunt Xu often sat here, and it was probably difficult to hide it, but he would not speak out about Zhu Yaoma's identity.

After sitting down, Aunt Xu glanced at Zhu Yaoma again, and incredible flashes in her eyes.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Labies, why don't we talk about this topic again?"

Aunt Xu was slightly stunned and asked, "What happened? What is excessive prayer?"

Guo Dan said: "In the past few years, Weihui Mansion had been raining less, so we all prayed that it would rain a little more. As a result, God satisfied us a few days ago, and it rained heavily for many days, causing floods in Kaifeng and Weihui."

"Flood?"

Aunt Xu looked shocked and said, "Then did you ask me to go to Kaifeng Mansion together?"

"Don't worry."

Guo Dan said: "First of all, I have to report this situation to Your Majesty, but I don't know if there will be any taboos in this."

"this...!"

Aunt Xu took a breath and said, "Generally speaking, if there is a natural disaster, the officials of the prefecture will naturally be blamed, but the court generally does not rashly dismiss the local prefect. The main point is to look at two points. First, whether there are any human reasons. Second, it is the situation of disaster relief.

But you are not an official, you are just a contractor, and I don’t know exactly what responsibility you have to bear.”

Guo Dan said: "If someone makes a reason, it is illegal. Of course, it will be judged as much as possible. But if you don't mention this, I wrote very clearly in my contract with the court. If you encounter a natural disaster, I will be exempted from taxes depending on the situation and then decrease it every year. In short, this year, large-scale natural disasters will be exempted from taxes, but small-scale ones may only be 20% or 30%. But I am afraid that someone will use this to make a big fuss and target me, and then I will be sad."

Aunt Xu asked, "Do you know the specific situation?"

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "According to the letter, the situation may not be very serious, but it involves many places. The specific situation is probably only known when you go there. Xiaodong and Chenchen have no experience in it, and they don't know whether it is serious or not."

Aunt Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I suggest you try to exaggerate the disaster."

Guo Dan said, "How do you say this?"

Aunt Xu said: "In my opinion, no matter whether the disaster is serious or not, the court will most likely not give you any support. Unless you return it to Kaifeng Prefecture and Weihui Prefecture, you have to rely on yourself and you must not rely on the court."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I think so too. Shouldn't we try to make things smaller?"

Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "If you turn big things into small things, then you can't judge how they will make a big deal with this matter. But if you turn small things into big things and ask the court to allocate funds to support you, then the ministers in the court will definitely compete with you in this regard."

Guo Dan's eyes lit up and said, "But I don't expect their help at all, that is, their attacks are irrelevant to me."

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."

This is actually a preemptive move, fighting them in an inconsistency place, and I don’t plan to ask you for the little money, but I just want it, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t give it to me in the end.

But if Guo Dan doesn't want this money, the other party may cause trouble from all aspects, which is equivalent to finding a battlefield to resettle the enemy.

Guo Dan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll report to Your Majesty first. Layman, go and prepare, we may have to go to Kaifeng Prefecture immediately."

Aunt Xu nodded.

The two stood up at the same time, and Guo Dan came to Zhu Yaoyi's desk, "Have you finished writing?"

Zhu Yaoyi quickly stood up and handed a piece of paper to Guo Dan.

Guo Dan took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "It's improved compared to the previous letter, but we still have to change some habit of being quainted with words, because the people who read the letter have not very high educational level."

While speaking, he carefully folded the letter, walked back to his desk, took out an envelope, put it in, and stamped it. Suddenly, he saw Zhu Yaoyi secretly looking at Aunt Xu, and said, "Mr. Wusi, my chief consultant."

He said to Aunt Xu again: "Li Fangchen, the secretary I just hired."

Aunt Xu nodded with a smile and said, "Hello!"

"Hello."

Li Fangchen nodded quickly.

At this time, Kou Weisha pushed open the door and walked in, "The eldest sister is here."

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "You are busy with yours, don't worry about me."

Kou Weisha smiled helplessly and said to Guo Dan: "Honey, good news. According to the news from Jinyulou and Zuixiaolou just now, in view of the tariff storm last year, they all purchased a large amount of grain at the end of last year. If their granary was not affected by floods, then Weihui Mansion should have a lot of grain at present."

"Thank you very much."

Guo Dan breathed a little relieved and said, "Madam, I'll leave it to you here. I have to rush to report to Your Majesty."

Kou Weisha nodded.

Aunt Xu said, "I don't have many things to prepare. I just need to ask someone to get them. I'll stay here to see what I can do to help you with the sha."

"It would be better if this is the best, I'll go first."

Guo faded out of the door and patted the letter on the small table, "Send it to Weihui Mansion immediately."

After saying that, he left.

At this time, there were only three women left in the house. Kou Weisha said a little depressedly: "Big sister, I'm going to tell you, I'm really clueless now. I never thought that one day, I would have to find a way to provide disaster relief. I really have no experience in this matter."

She will be very strong in front of anyone, but only in front of Aunt Xu can she show her helplessness, or depression, because when she met Aunt Xu, she was very helpless.

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much. It's said that it's disaster relief, so naturally it requires money. You heard about those situations before, mostly because you didn't have money, but I believe your gang will take out enough money to provide disaster relief."

Kou Weisha smiled bitterly and said, "But there are two state prefectures currently suffering from disasters, and I don't know...!"

Aunt Xu said: "Maybe the situation is better than we thought."

While chatting, the two of them came to the sofa to sit down.

But I don’t know that Zhu Yaoyi has been secretly paying attention to them. If Kou Weisha’s shrewdness and ability are just an occasional moment, then Aunt Xu’s appearance is enough to prove that women can perform very well outside.

This gave Zhu Yaoyao great confidence and also guided her direction.

Although she came out and gained freedom, she had no idea where the future was and how to live, and she was also exploring.

......

On the other side, Guo Dan and Yang Feixu rode their horses to the Royal Horse Farm.

When I arrived at the Royal Horse Farm, the situation seemed to be a little beyond Guo Dan's expectations.

Wanli did not meet Guo Dan in the office, but was involved in the corridor conference room for him. In addition, there were cabinet ministers, ministers, and some officials from the Ministry of Education.

"Let the grass people meet your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"No gift."

Wanli immediately asked, "Guo Dan, you are here just now. I heard about the floods in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion. Do you know the situation?"

"Caomin..."

Guo Dan secretly glanced at the ministers, and saw that many ministers showed bad looks, and they complained in their hearts.

"Your Majesty asked you, why don't you answer?"
