Chapter 441
Dahewei.

In front of Xia Yan, the officer sneered: "So what if you're welcome, don't think we are ordinary garrisons. To tell you the truth, our general is Feng Zhen, and General Feng is the family of Mr. Sun Dansun. Don't say you alone Even the governor of Nanhe, Mr. Wang, has to be polite to the small sixth-grade river."

When Xia Yan heard this, he was immediately overwhelmed.The Ming Dynasty emphasized civility over martial arts. Even a senior military officer of the fourth and fifth ranks had to behave well when he met the magistrate of the seventh rank, and he did not dare to speak out.It was the first time he had seen such an arrogant and domineering officer like before, and he did not expect it to be like this.

Xia Yan roared: "Bold man, don't say that your general is Sun Dan's family, even if he is a disciple of Yang Ge Lao. Sun Dan is eager to be righteous and humble, how can he have all the crazy people like you under his command?" ? If I see Sun Dan in the future, I really want to be ashamed of him." The water situation is urgent, and the people may be fishes, but now it is one person who saves one person.There are rumors that Xia Yan, the prime minister, was recommended by Sun Dan in front of the emperor.

His roar was extremely loud and could be heard far away.

As soon as the officer's face changed, he was about to walk away.

At this time, a long laugh came: "Gongjin, because you are so angry!"

Gongjin is Xia Yan's word, and the voice is very familiar, Xia Yan turned his head to look, but it turned out that Sun Dan and three officials walked in.The three officials were the magistrate of Huai'an and the magistrates of Shanyang and Taoyuan counties.

Seeing that it was Sun Dan, Xia Yan was not polite, and said angrily: "Jingyuan, you came just in time, Qianhu of Dahewei is your disciple, I came to borrow some boat envoys, but I didn't want to, the dignified Sun Dan is a gentleman, everyone under the sect But so arrogant."

Before Sun Dan could speak, the governor of Huai'an said, "Lord Xia came late, the boats of Dahewei have already been borrowed by my Huai'an mansion for disaster relief."

Xia Yan was a little surprised: "Jingyuan, is this really the case?"

Sun Dan smiled wryly: "Gongjin, you are wrong to blame me. It's not that Dahewei didn't lend you a boat, but the boat has already been borrowed."

The magistrate of Huai'an went on to say: "Master Xia, you really misunderstood Mr. Sun. As soon as Suining's embankment was broken, Mr. Sun invited us over and said that he was willing to lend the boats and soldiers of Dahewei to Huai'an." The government helped the people. He himself even spent 1000 taels of silver to buy food."

Xia Yan was even more surprised: "Even the soldiers were loaned out. Jing Yuan moved the army without authorization. What if the court pursues it in the future?"

Sun Dan secretly said in his heart: I, Sun Dan, am an imperial envoy. I have the flag of the king's order in my hand, so I can mobilize local troops cheaply. However, I have received a secret order this time, so it is naturally inconvenient to tell others.

But Sun Dan still pretended to be righteous on the surface, and said: "The disaster is like fire. Compared with the lives of the people, Sun Dan's personal gains and losses are nothing. Your Majesty, Sun Dan will naturally explain it, and he is willing to explain it." bear the corresponding responsibility."

Xia Yan, the prefect of Huai'an and others admired him in their hearts, and they all bowed to the ground without saying anything.And that Fu Lin was so excited that his eyes filled with tears.

Sun Dan hurriedly helped everyone up one by one, and said to Xia Yan: "Gongjin, you are Prime Minister Hedao. As far as I know, your Hecao Yamen has no shortage of ships and manpower."

The prefect of Huai'an also said repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Xia, we were going to look for you, and asked you to borrow a boat or someone."

Xia Yan smiled wryly: "Whether Lord Wang Shu is going or not, Xia Yan can't adjust a person or a boat in the yamen."

"This Wang Shu, with such an unprecedented flood, he still has the mind to play in the mountains and rivers. I will impeach him." The prefect of Huai'an was so angry that he slapped his hand on the table.

"Yes, this traitor!" Everyone also scolded non-stop.

Sun Dan said: "Everyone don't need to be excited. Now, disaster relief is the most important time. If Wang Shu is not here, there is no need to look for him. Everyone here is a local official in Huai'an. It is rare that everyone is here today, so let's do a division of labor."

Everyone nodded, saying that Mr. Sun was right.

Sun Dan looked at the prefect of Huai'an and said, "Your Majesty is a local official. Whether it is organizing personnel and boats to rescue people, or preparing food to relieve victims, you have to take the lead."

The magistrate nodded: "Yes, this is my duty, I will go to work right away."

Sun Dan said to Xia Yan again: "Master Xia, you belong to the river, the breach in Suining needs to be blocked, and the flood needs to be diverted and released. This is the responsibility of your river, and it falls on you."

Xia Yan replied: "This is my duty, I will do it right away. Unfortunately, Mr. Wang has not returned yet. If it is impossible, I will go to find him and stay by his side to supervise. I don't believe it. He Wang Shu dares to ignore it! "

Speaking of which, Sun Dan is only a seventh-rank official, the lowest rank among all the people.But he has a special status, and everyone does not feel that there is anything wrong with following orders.

After finishing the arrangements, Sun Dan stood up and said, "That's it, I will immediately go to Nanjing to find the governor of Nanzhili, and ask him to bring some money and food to Huai'an."

"Jingyuan, wait, you can just send a letter to Nanjing, you don't have to go there in person. There are more important things waiting for you here." Xia Yan stopped Sun Dan.

Sun Dan was a little strange: "You all perform your duties, what is more important than going to Nanjing to raise food and money?"

Xia Yan said sternly: "Jingyuan is wrong, Suining Dashui, Nanjing will know soon, and will definitely take action, you just need to write a letter to go there. Now, people in Huai'an are in chaos , the first thing is to calm people's minds."

"That's right, that's right, if this person's heart is in a mess, it doesn't matter whether it's disaster relief or disaster relief." Everyone also said yes again and again.

Sun Dan also felt that what Xia Yan said was reasonable, and asked, "What does Master Xia mean?"

Xia Yandao: "Now it's time for the children's examinations in various counties. The imperial examination is a national talent rotation ceremony. No matter how bad the situation is, it can't be abandoned. Now, Jingyuan is coming to Huainan to preside over the government examination. If you want to calm people's hearts, it is better to hold it as scheduled Exams. When people see this situation, their hearts will naturally be at ease."

Everyone nodded again and again: "Master Xia's words are very true." For a country, the imperial examination is an overwhelming political event. .Is there anything more reassuring than imperial examinations?

Sun Dan also felt that what Xia Yan said was right, and nodded: "Yes, if you didn't tell me, I would have overlooked it. In this way, the children's examination in Huai'an Prefecture will not be rescheduled. All adults, please spare time to preside over the county examination when you go back."

"Yes."

Another county magistrate asked Sun Dan: "My lord, it's okay to talk about other places, but Suining has already become the country of Ze, and the life and death of Fang Shangzu, the county magistrate, is unknown. Besides, I don't know how many scholars in Suining are left. There are probably no survivors left. No examiners, no candidates, what about the Suining County Examination?"

Sun Dan: "There is no examiner, I will come. Even if there is only one examinee, the imperial examination will be held as scheduled."
