What Zhao Cuo did was seen by everyone present, the officials looked embarrassed, and the numb-looking victims finally showed emotional fluctuations on their faces.

But what appeared on their faces was not overjoyed.

Instead, he looked anxiously at the officials who clearly had different opinions.

"Zhao Qinshi..."

A local official came out hesitantly.

"If we give out porridge as you ordered, the granary in Guangping Mansion will be empty within ten days. Can you get food within this time limit?"

"Can."

Zhao Cuo said without hesitation.

"I will buy rice from the local grain merchants for emergency use, and then adjust the grain from the Jiangnan and Jiangbei prefectures. At the same time, I will also explain the situation to the Queen Mother and ask the Empress Dowager to use the power of the country and the court to rescue Guangping Prefecture. Don't worry."

"Although Jiangnan and Jiangbei are rich places of fish and rice, how can the food be so easy to come by? Your Excellency, you are absolutely sure?"

A young official came out.

"The Governor of Liangjiang is my father." 2

Young Master Zhao said so.

"Well..."

The official, who was a few years older than Zhao Cuo, was obviously stunned for a moment, then he bowed his hands in submission and said solemnly:

"Thank you, Lord Imperial Envoy, for saving the people of Guangping Prefecture from the fire and water."

"You are the official in charge of the granary, right? Go and do as I say and open the granary to store grain."

Zhao Cuo said in a calm tone, once again realizing the importance of relationships. If he were not the eldest son of Zheng Guogong, could he convince everyone with one word here? He couldn't.

"Thank you sir for your kindness!"

The people in front of the soup kitchen knelt down with tears in their eyes. These people were not easy to fool. It was the rich aroma of rice coming out of the pot that made them grateful.

“Hurry up and give porridge!”

Young Master Zhao pursed his lips and waved. Master Chu stood quietly watching this scene, his dark and bright eyes staring at the handsome young man through the power fence.

"Gami's big brother."

Zhao Cuo turned his head subconsciously when he heard this strange name and saw a little girl in the porridge queue smiling and waving to him and saying loudly:

"Nanny saw the dragon before the flood!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl?"

The peasant woman holding the girl said in fear.

"Don't be surprised if my eldest daughter begs the official for not knowing what's going on."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Cuo walked up to the little girl with a smile, raised his hand to wipe the dirt off her face, and said in a gentle tone:

"Where did you see the dragon? The flood was caused by heavy rain, but there is no demonic dragon."

"But Nannan really saw it." The little girl stared aggrievedly, "It was taking a nap in the Bajiang River that day."

"No dragon can make waves."

Zhao Cuo raised his hand with a smile and pointed at Master Chu who was wearing a lotus-colored flowing fairy dress. She was already putting a lot of pressure on people just by standing there calmly, but her fairy inspiration made it difficult to look away.

"Have you seen that fairy sister? Even a real dragon can't defeat her, so don't worry."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's hair, then turned and walked back to the officials.

"Master Zhao really loves his people like his own children."

These officials were flattering in half-serious ways.

"I am going to inspect the dam and review the flood control measures. Would you like to go with me?"

"Young Master, think twice!"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry said with his eyelids twitching.

"The dam has not completely sealed the gap, and there is a danger of flood discharge at any time. You must not take risks."

He even objected to Zhao mistakenly coming to Hanoi County, because once the flood comes again, even now this place will still be flooded.

"If you don't even dare to go to the front line, wouldn't you have betrayed the trust of the Queen Mother? My lord who is good at water control, please come with me."

As Zhao Cuo said this, he got on his horse and headed towards the high dam that could be vaguely seen in the distance. The officials who stayed behind looked at each other and could only grit their teeth and follow. In fact, Young Master Zhao was not so brave and fearless of death.

It was only because of the protection of the fire bearer that he dared to be so wanton.

"It's really dangerous..."

He rode his horse to the river dam, where many village warriors were piling sandbags and pulling nets everywhere in the rain, and the sound of raging water echoed in his ears.

"Can we go up and take a look together?"

Zhao Cuo pointed to the embankment and asked Master Chu beside him.

"Um."

Chu Biezhi responded softly. She stood in the rain curtain but was not hit by a drop of water. The rain actually fell around her.

"Let's go."

Zhao Cuo turned over and dismounted, and in the eyes of many officials who followed him, he walked tremblingly up the stone steps towards the dam platform. The scene in front of him made his eyes widen.

A vast Yangtze River filled his entire field of vision, and the turbulent waves were splashing, as if there was an evil dragon splashing in the river.

Anyone standing here will feel their own smallness and weakness.

"Compared with the Bajiang River, the frozen river is just a small stream..."

He murmured.

"Do you know where the Bajiang River flows?"

The Imperial Master standing next to Zhao Cuo suddenly asked.

"South?"

Young Master Zhao said nonsense.

"To be precise, it's the South China Sea."

Chu Biezhi's voice is still full of mature and intellectual charm.

"South of the Yangtze River is the Southern Border, where the barren mountains and rivers are still coastal areas. The dragon tribe has thrived in the South China Sea for generations."

"ah?"

Zhao Cuo was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he heard this statement. Before, he thought that even if there were dragons in this world, they would be with the monsters.

Now it seems that these two tribes live in Mobei and Nanhai respectively. It cannot be said that they are as close as one family. It can only be said that they have not interacted with each other until death.

But since the Bajiang River flows into the South China Sea...

"That kid said he saw a dragon, couldn't it be true?"

Zhao Cuo's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"The Dragon Clan has made an alliance with me, Dayu. They have done nothing wrong in the past four hundred years. It is impossible for them to suddenly break into the territory of our dynasty."

Chu Biezhi said and suddenly threw a wine bottle towards him.

"this……"

Young Master Zhao was stunned after catching it.

"You're fine."

Master Chu's tone actually had a touch of gentleness and approachability.

"I still remember what you said when we were hunting in Donghe River. At that time, I thought it was hypocritical for you to clamor that you were willing to risk your life for the tens of thousands of innocent people implicated by corrupt officials. Now I see that you are somewhat sincere when you treat people as if they were injured."

After she finished her compliments, she added another sentence.

"Although I am a good wife." 2

"ha!"

Zhao Cuo chuckled, unscrewed the lid of the wine bottle and took a sip. It would be inappropriate not to brag in this situation.

"Since I have come to Guangping Mansion, no more people are allowed to be affected by the disaster. Even if a real dragon comes today, I will draw my sword and cut off its head to bathe it in its blood!"

After he finished speaking, the water of the Bajiang River suddenly stirred up! A sense of oppression like a ray of light shrouded the hearts of everyone, and a huge shadow gradually revealed its ferocious figure in the turbulent waves.
