The next morning, Xiao Fan took a carriage to the county magistrate's office.
The Lantian County Magistrate, the Chief Bookkeeper, and the Law Enforcement Officer were already gathered in the second office. Other than them, all the noble men of Lantian County were sitting upright.
There was a woman sitting on the main seat. Looking at her age, she was only in the prime of her life.
At first glance, Xiao Fan was stunned. She was too beautiful!
Xiao Fan seemed to be unable to find a better adjective to describe Changle.
"It's hard to give up on a natural beauty." Xiao Fan blurted out.
Then, Zhangsun Chong, who was standing beside Chang Le, frowned and shouted,""Who are you? How dare you blaspheme the princess?"
County Magistrate Zhang chuckled and said,"This is the man from Lantian County, Xiao Fan."”
Xiao Fan hurriedly bowed and said,"Greetings, Princess Changle."”
Chang Le had a good upbringing and smiled politely.""Xiao County Man, you don't need to be so polite. I've heard that Xiao County Man is talented.”
Xiao Fan cupped his hands and thanked him before sitting down.
After everyone sat down, Chang Le said,""Everyone is here. Today, Changle came to Lantian to take a look at his fief. After all, Changle will move to Lantian this year.”
She paused and then said," Secondly, Lantian was deeply affected by the flood a few days ago. Changle saw it and felt pain in his heart. Thanks to the painstaking efforts of the officials in Lantian, they were able to survive the flood smoothly. Changle thanked everyone on behalf of my father.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately stood up and bowed in the direction of Taiji Palace.
"It's our duty to share Your Majesty's worries. We don't dare to take credit!”
Chang Le said," The storm is coming again. I'm afraid it will form a small-scale disaster. I wonder if you have any countermeasures to reduce the number of people dying after the disaster in Lantian?"”
The disaster itself was one aspect of how terrifying the disaster was, but more importantly, it was the outbreak of plague, trampling, refugees…and a series of other problems!
After Chang Le said this, County Magistrate Zhang said with a face full of shame,""Sigh, how can there be a way to avoid death after a disaster?”
Xiao Fan was curious when he heard this and asked,"How many people usually die after a disaster?"”
County Magistrate Zhang glanced at Xiao Fan disdainfully.
Since when did this kind of trash, who did not know how to distinguish between the four bodies and five grains, care about political affairs?
Presumably, this kid wanted to show off in front of the princess, right?
Heh, who in the court didn't know that the Zhangsun Clan favored Changle? When Zhangsun Chong saw Changle inspecting Lantian, he hurriedly requested to follow him. Who wouldn't know this kind of friendship?
Since you like to hit the edge of the blade, then I'll fulfill your wish and let you die faster.
County Magistrate Zhang pretended to be in pain." Xiao County doesn't know this. Usually, after a disaster, at least ten thousand people will die of illness.”
"That's not right. It's not difficult to understand that people died in a disaster. As long as we take appropriate measures after the disaster, how could so many people die? A good plan to deal with a disaster could ensure that no one would die after the disaster.”
When County Magistrate Zhang heard this, he immediately sneered in his heart.
This kid really wanted to climb up the ladder. He liked to act tough. Let's see how he would end it later!
Actually, Xiao Fan really did not think so much.
In his later life, he had seen too many earthquakes, flash floods, tsunamis, and other disasters on television. No matter which country it was, the post-disaster response work was done in an orderly manner.
As long as the post-disaster response was appropriate, there would be almost no more casualties.
When Chang Le heard this, his beautiful eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly stood up and walked to Xiao Fan.
"Is Xiao County Nan's words true?”
Zhangsun Chong had already thought of some countermeasures and was prepared to show off here, but he did not expect Xiao Fan to steal the limelight.
He gritted his teeth and sneered." Xiao County Nan, this concerns the foundation of the country's fate. It's best not to blindly show off." There are so many high officials in the Great Tang, but they are all helpless in the aftermath of the disaster. Are you even more powerful than the Prime Minister of the Imperial Court, the Duke?”
Xiao Fan could hear the gunpowder in this person's words and was a little puzzled. He did not know how he had offended this man.
"And this is?" Xiao Fan asked.
County Magistrate Zhang introduced,"This is Minister You Pushe, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Chong.”
When Xiao Fan heard this, he roughly understood and did not say anything else. He smiled casually and said,"Alright, then I have nothing else to say."
In the history of the Tang Empire, the person that Changle married was Zhangsun Chong.
From the looks of it, Zhangsun Chong was probably jealous.
Xiao Fan could not afford to offend someone like Zhangsun Wuji.
As for whether people would die after the disaster or how many people would die, Xiao Fan did not care.
If it was within his ability, he might tell Chang Le his opinion.
But now, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
County Magistrate Zhang was a little disappointed. He did not see Xiao Fan make a fool of himself and felt very upset.
However, he had good eyesight and was good at flattering.
"Young Master Zhangsun is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao. His talent in governing the world is definitely not inferior to the Duke. I believe that Young Master Zhangsun must have a good plan.”
F * ck... Xiao Fan was given goosebumps by this flattery!
