"So many? They are already here?" Li Xuan looked at the Administrative Commissioner of Huguang in surprise. "Did Lord Ming arrange this?"
"It's simply better to be prepared than not," Ming Yuzhen bowed slightly. "They believe it is every man's responsibility in the rise and fall of the world. There are already many scholars from Huguang carrying swords against the water demon, protecting the common people. I just made some preparations in advance when I heard that Earl Jingan was leading the disaster relief. I have gathered scholars from all the cities along both sides of the river here."
Li Xuan then turned his hopeful eyes to the administrator from Yunyang. As the administrator system was just beginning to take shape, the Yunyang administrator had control over the military and civilian affairs of the five surrounding regions of Hubei, Henan, Sichuan, and Shaanxi. This Yichang City is within his jurisdiction.
