After binding the tens of billions of material systems, he became rich in ancient times

Chapter 142 Renovating the Northwest City

Bai Susu thought of what A Ying said just now that he had found a new grain depot, so it must be the grain found there.She looked sideways at Zhou Ximing, "How much food is there in total?"

"Four hundred buckets." Zhou Ximing looked at Bai Susu, "If every family distributes grain, every household can get half a bucket of grain."

For four hundred buckets of grain, these officials are indeed a bit bolder, even bolder than those officials in Yongcheng.

"Then you go and deal with these things, and I won't follow you." Bai Susu looked at the endless fields, her voice was shallow.

"Huh?" Seeing her standing there, Zhou Ximing asked, "Aren't you coming with me?"

"It's still not over." Bai Susu smiled and shook her head, she looked at Zhou Ximing, "This is a matter of official career, and it's not convenient for me to participate in everything."

Bai Susu, who has been able to struggle in the officialdom for many years, thinks she is no match for those people. She is still less involved in these matters, and the most important thing is to do more with the work at hand.

"Since you don't want to go there, let's go back first." Zhou Ximing knew what Bai Susu was thinking, "I'll go find you when I'm done."

"Okay." Bai Susu walked on this path, looking at the crops growing very gratifyingly, bent down to straighten the bent seedlings.

On the way back, I saw a little girl sitting there alone, looking at a field in the distance, her eyes were helpless and confused.

"Why don't you go when you're sitting here?" Bai Susu sat beside her, stroking her head with a gentle voice.

"I don't have a home." The little girl looked at Bai Susu with wet eyes, her voice was soft and sticky, "Father and mother thought I was a girl, and when they were fleeing, they left me behind. "

Hearing this sentence, Bai Susu's eyes showed a distressed look, such a small child can be left behind, "Then where do you live now?"

"In the previous house, there was the quilt left by my mother." The little girl grabbed Bai Susu's sleeve, looked at her with hope, "Sister, if the famine here ends , will father and mother come back to pick me up?"

Faced with such eyes, Bai Susu couldn't say anything, she nodded, "Yes."

After talking with the little girl for a long time, Bai Susu sent her home and gave her a lot of food before turning around and leaving.

Back in the mansion, Bai Susu felt a tense atmosphere, and the surrounding area was full of oppression. When the guards guarding the gate saw Bai Susu coming, they immediately saluted respectfully, and their attitude was even more respectful than before.

"Yeah." Bai Susu turned around and walked towards her room from here.When passing by a courtyard, Bai Susu heard a heart-piercing sound, which seemed to be on the big board.

She turned around and took a look, then went back to her yard, ignoring what was going on there.

A letter was urgently delivered to the emperor five hundred miles from Northwest City, stating all the things Zhou Ximing had done in Northwest City during this period.

When the emperor read the letter saying that he would set up porridge sheds everywhere and find suitable crop species in the northwest region, and it was expected that the famine would be stabilized within a month, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Quan De, what is said above is true?" The emperor handed the letter in his hand to the chief eunuch beside him, his eyes wrinkled.His son is far more powerful than he imagined.

"Yes, it is true that the spies came to report." Quan De agreed.

The emperor put the letter in his hand aside, and frowned tightly.When he asked the prince to go out to deal with the famine, he just found an excuse, and didn't expect him to be able to deal with it.

Now, in less than half a month, he managed everything in an orderly manner, which was not what he wanted.The emperor waved his hand and asked Quan De who was standing beside him to come over, and ordered, "You let the third prince enter the palace now, I have something to say to him."

"Yes." Quan De responded immediately, stood up and left from here, and ordered the little eunuch beside him to go to the third prince's mansion to invite him over.

Not long after, the third prince entered the palace and knelt on the main hall, with a respectful attitude, "I see my father."

"Well, let's get up first." The emperor handed the letter on the side to Quan De, and asked him to deliver it to the third prince, "This is from Northwest City, take a look."

"Yes." The third prince took it respectfully, looked down at the letter in his hand, his black eyes were full of sternness, and the strength in his hand couldn't help but aggravated, he knelt there and didn't speak.

The emperor has been paying attention to the emotions of the third prince. Seeing that the letter was wrinkled, there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "The prince has made great achievements in governing the wasteland in the northwest this time, but I am always worried that there will be some mistakes, so I think I want you to set off for the northwest immediately, and you go to deal with the follow-up matters, and let the prince come back from the northwest in advance."

The emperor didn't want all these credits to be attributed to the prince, which would only make him more prestige among the people, which was not what he wanted.

Therefore, sending the third prince to take the credit and reduce the prince's reputation there is the most urgent thing he needs to do now.

"Yes, my son obeys the order." The third prince immediately agreed, and he lowered his head, his black eyes showed a look of certainty.

Once he goes out, he must take back all the prestige that Zhou Ximing has established among the people, and he cannot let his reputation that was so hard to be ruined get better!

The third prince handed the letter in his hand to the eunuch at the side, then turned around and strode immediately, went back to pack his luggage, and immediately set off for the northwest region.

Northwest Territories, in the backyard of the government

Just as Bai Susu made some food with potatoes, Zhou Ximing and an official came in.The moment Zhou Ximing sat there, the official knelt down immediately, with a respectful attitude, "This official did not participate in the food planning, please check it out."

The official who knelt down was County Magistrate Zhao of Northwest City, "The lower official has a low position, but he can't get in touch with those things."

"Can't touch these things?" A cold light flashed in Zhou Ximing's eyes, he threw a land deed on him, and his voice was as cold as ice, "The place where the food is hidden, do you dare to say that it is not your shop?"

Hearing these words, County Magistrate Zhao panicked instantly. He tremblingly picked up the land deed that was thrown on him, and looked at it line by line, with more and more shock in his eyes.

He clearly transferred the title deed to a petty official who had nothing to do with him, why was he still found out?

"The place where the grain was hidden, the little official had expected such a day, so he stored the revoked title deed in that granary." Zhou Ximing sneered, "What else can you say? ?”
