Chapter 341 - 338: Three-Year Agreement_1
The Emperor ordered the Ministry of Revenue to urgently allocate the granary’s stock. King Liang, Li Mingrui, and General Shi Panshan were to transport it overnight and deliver it to Hushui and Guangling, already crowded with disaster victims.
Minister of Revenue Chu Zhongxing continued to procure food supplies.
Bai Qingyan heard that this disaster relief task was overseen by Li Mao’s son, Li Mingrui, with General Shi Panshan assisting, and King Liang, representing the Imperial Family, was barely a deputy in charge.

She put away the red-tasselled silver spear and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, flexing her wrist.
The famine in Yanwo not only shifted focus from the imperial examination corruption case but also provided an opportunity for King Liang to reappear before the Emperor. It allowed Li Mao’s son, Li Mingrui, to step into the spotlight.
Therefore... King Liang and Li Mingrui would certainly handle this Yanwo famine relief flawlessly.
In this way, Bai Qingyan was not worried that corruption or embezzlement would lead to more innocent lives lost.
