Dispatching Food and Disaster Relief
When the sun was about to set, Lin Fei finally brought 3,000 soldiers to the front of the prefect's manor.
When the servants in front of the prefect's manor saw a large group of soldiers escorting food and stopped in front of the manor, they immediately ran in and shouted as they ran.
"Master, master, the food for disaster relief has arrived.”
Chief Chen had been worrying about food recently. In order to provide disaster relief, even he only ate two meals a day, and there was not much rice soup.
As the servants of the prefect's residence, their lives would definitely not be any better if prefect Chen had already eaten rice soup. Therefore, when they saw Lin Fei coming over with food, they immediately ran to report to prefect Chen.
Not long after, they saw Chief Chen rush out from inside. As if he did not see Lin Fei, he ran to the donkey cart and checked bag by bag.
After Governor Chen finished checking and confirmed that all the bags were filled with food, he walked to Lin Fei and bowed.
"On behalf of all the people in Shandong, I thank you, General. At the same time, I apologize to you. Previously, I was a petty person who had the heart of a gentleman.”
Lin Fei did not expect Governor Chen to be so open and aboveboard. However, he quickly understood that Governor Chen knew that he had already offended Lin Fei when he was in the military camp. Now that he said it bluntly, he was just retreating in order to advance.
He went forward to help Governor Chen up and said,"Governor Chen, you are too serious. Lin Fei is ashamed that he did not find all the food."”
Seeing Lin Fei's indifferent expression, how could Chief Chen not know that his little calculation had been seen through?
"This General Xiaonian is indeed extraordinary. No wonder the Emperor sent him here to deal with the matters here. This may be an opportunity to help me turn over a new leaf and regain control of Shandong.”
After Governor Chen made a decision in his heart, he smiled and said to Lin Fei,"General, you must be joking. It's already very impressive that you can find so much food in such a short time. I believe that you will be able to find the remaining food very soon.”
Seeing Mayor Chen's expression, Lin Fei knew what he was planning to do at this time. However, Lin Fei did not expose him. The opportunity was his own. Whether or not he could seize the opportunity depended on Mayor Chen himself.
If he really had the ability, it wouldn't be a problem for him to help him. If he was simply a good-for-nothing, there was nothing he could do even if he helped him. Everything depended on him.
"Then I will borrow Governor Chen's good words and find the remaining food as soon as possible.”Lin Fei cupped his hands.
At this moment, the boss from afar saw the donkey cart parked in front of the prefect's residence piled with food and immediately surrounded it.
Seeing more and more people surrounding them, Lin Fei was afraid that he would leave and quickly said to them,"Villagers, don't worry. We'll distribute the food immediately.”
After stabilizing the commoners, Lin Fei turned around and said to Governor Chen,"Lord Prefect, hurry up and bring over the household registration of the people in the city. We will distribute grain according to the household registration.”
Governor Chen also knew that the matter was important. He had to distribute the food while the commoners were still rational, so he immediately ran inside.
Seeing Governor Chen run in, Lin Fei asked Qin Yuhuai to bring people to sort out the commoners into twenty pairs. Before they were done, Governor Chen ran out panting with his household registration.
"Governor Chen, the food we found this time is only one-third of the food we found in the disaster relief. Each person should be given more. You should know that I can help you with the disaster relief.”
Governor Chen nodded. Lin Fei was right. He was the father and mother of Shandong. He knew the basic situation in Shandong better than Lin Fei, so he did not stand on ceremony.
Qin Yuhuai had just divided the people into twenty teams when the other officials from Shandong rushed over.
Lin Fei immediately rushed over and asked them to cooperate with Governor Chen's work to distribute the food to the people.
When Governor Chen heard Lin Fei's words, his nose felt a little sour. He was filled with gratitude to Lin Fei. How could he not know that Lin Fei was giving him a chance?
He had been in Shandong for three years, but this was the first time he had commanded those officials as a high-ranking official. This was an opportunity. If he grasped it well, he might be able to turn things around.
If he didn't have a good grasp of it, then he would go home early to retire.
