Chapter 118
The little eunuch dismounted, and this time there were more people watching the imperial edict than last time.

He cupped his hands towards Su Huan: "Master Su."

Su Huan also returned the gift.

The young eunuch didn't know Meng Xiang at all, and only regarded him as an ordinary person next to Su Huan.

He took out the imperial edict from the box he carried with him, raised his hands high, then slowly put them down, and shouted loudly. "Sacred decree."

"kneel!"

All the people along the way knelt down, and Su Huan also knelt on the ground, similar to the TV series.

"By God, the emperor decrees..." the young eunuch read out in a very formal manner, which stated that Su Huanqin was specially given the power of envoy and the official position of ambassador to the Ministry of Industry to control the drought in the entire Hangzhou Prefecture.

This is a super heavy burden, and everyone avoids it. This kind of drudgery, if you do it well, you will be punished.

"Master Imperial Envoy, accept the order." The little eunuch said.

Su Huan not only did not have a sad face, but instead had a happy expression on his face, and took the imperial edict with both hands. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Master Su, congratulations." The little eunuch stayed by the emperor's side, so he naturally knew who was more favored in the world. Su Huan was undoubtedly one of the hottest ones, and it was true that he could make friends.

"My lord, it's a long and hard journey, how about a drink at my house?"

"Please!" Su Huan and others entered the mansion.

The people who were eating melons stood up and looked at each other. "Old man, did I hear correctly just now? The imperial court appointed Mr. Su as an imperial envoy?"

An old woman held the hand of an old man next to her. "That's right, you want Mr. Su to cure the drought in the entire Hangzhou government? Our daughter is saved, and there is no need to take over Lin'an."

"That's great, that's great, old lady, I'm going to Fuyang right now."

"Hey, slow down, let's go together."

"God has eyes." The people told each other.

Two hours passed, and after the little eunuch was sent away, Meng Xiang held the imperial decree in his hand and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of envy.

As a magistrate of a county, he has not yet received the imperial decree. Su Huan has received the imperial decree twice as a magistrate of the county.

The appointment of ordinary officials is under the control of the Ministry of Officials. Unless there are special positions and exceptions, there will be an imperial edict issued by the emperor himself. This is a great honor.

"Old Meng, now you can give hope to the people of the entire government." Su Huan said, "Just say, Master Su is here, and the drought will be saved."

Meng Xiang was still worried: "This is treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Do you have a plan to deal with it?"

"No, but I, Su Huan's reputation, may be able to curb the recruitment situation in Yinhu Mountain."

Meng Xiang sighed: "How long can it be contained? If the drought cannot be resolved within half a month, and the crops all wither, the people will once again seek refuge in Yinhu Mountain, and it will be difficult for the court to gain the trust of the people."

Meng Xiang was full of pessimism. "If only it rained."

"Let's pray together. I'm an imperial envoy now. If it doesn't rain, I won't be able to be an imperial envoy."

Meng Xiang shook his head. "I didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, and now I can only hope that there are gods and Buddhas in the world, so that these hard-working people can be rescued."

Su Huan looked at the sky and murmured: "God, just let it rain."

The weather outside is sunny, there are not many clouds in the sky, and the hot sunshine shines on the ground.

"When will you take office and perform your duties as an imperial envoy? I will arrange a place for you." Meng Xiang asked.

"In two days," Su Huan said, "You should go ahead and announce that the drought will be saved, so as to reduce the loss of household registration."

"Okay, then I'll go first." Meng Xiang got up and left.

Under the promotion of men sent by Meng Xiang, 90.00% of the people in the entire Hangzhou government knew that the imperial court specially sent an imperial envoy to the Hangzhou government office to eliminate the drought and the people had a way out in response to the drought.

If the news was not enough to stabilize the hearts of the people, Meng Xiang stepped up his efforts. The imperial envoy was Master Su Huansu, the chief secretary of Lin'an County. The entire Hangzhou prefecture, only Lin'an County, was not affected by the drought, and it was all thanks to Master Su. Mr. Su has great talent, everyone should trust him.

The people rushed to tell each other that three days later, Yinhu Mountain could recruit less than ten people today.

At its peak, the number of people could reach more than 1000, but now they can't even reach a fraction. Can Xu Shiping not be angry?
There was a lot of ping-pong-pong in the cottage, Xu Shiping was so angry that he smashed things, his dream of emperor, is it going to die prematurely?
How happy he was in those days, how angry he is now.

Xu Shiping can guarantee that he has never been so angry before. Blocking people's way is like killing his parents. Su Huan is trying to destroy his emperor's throne.

This kind of hatred made him want to strangle Su Huan to death right now.

The sound of the broken porcelain being smashed on the ground could not dispel Xu Shiping's bad mood, and the thieves and bandits all hid far away, not daring to touch the bad luck of the boss.

Liu Tingquan, the second master, came.

In the Juyi Hall, Xu Shiping was tired, and sat on his wolf leather chair with a gloomy face, as if he was announcing that you all should not mess with me.

"Congratulations uncle, congratulations uncle." This was the first sentence Liu Tingquan came in.

Xu Shiping is in a bad mood, he has a fart happy event. "Nephew, now is not the time for joking, please leave uncle alone."

He didn't want to lose his temper with Liu Tingquan. He was a scheming young man and he would not offend him if he could.

"Uncle, my nephew is not joking." Liu Tingquan smiled. "I know my uncle is angry because he can't recruit anyone, but I guarantee that within ten days, the number of people who will seek refuge in our Yinhu Mountain will be a hundred or a thousand times that of today."

"Oh?" This topic aroused Xu Shiping's interest. "how do I say this."

"Uncle thinks, if Su Huan becomes an imperial envoy, how confident is he in dealing with the drought?"

"Confirmed?" Xu Shiping stood up, seeming to be deep in thought.

"Uncle don't need to think too much, I dare say that Su Huan can't cure this drought." Liu Tingquan swore. "It is impossible for the imperial court to give him much money, and what kind of governance he will take. Under the current circumstances, he cannot build water governance like Lin'an County, and increase the corvee. This will only speed up the people's renunciation of the imperial court."

Liu Tingquan pulled up a chair and sat down, with a wise look on his face: "I can guarantee that this is just a bluff and a delaying tactic by the court. When the people come to their senses and find out that it is a scam, won't they be even more angry? Who wants such a court? With? And I, Yinhu Mountain, is their refuge."

"Su Huan wants to turn around, the only possibility is that it will rain, then..." Liu Tingquan pointed to the sky, it was almost cloudless and the sun was scorching. "That's impossible."

After Liu Tingquan talked about it, Xu Shiping's expression gradually returned to normal, and then he looked happy.

"At that time, I may be able to completely annex Hangzhou Mansion with the Yinhu Mountain Rebel Army."

These words made Xu Shiping even more excited. "Okay, nephew, what you said is very good. Uncle has you alone, which is better than thousands of troops."

"Uncle Miao praised."

"Hey, no matter what, all the trash in the imperial court are not as good as a good nephew."
