Kicked the scumbag and married his uncle, and she was reborn as a medical concubine to dominate the

"Returning to the prince, the river dam burst again yesterday. My brother-in-law took people to repair it, but he hasn't come back yet."

Everything had been arranged, but after tonight, Zhou Mu died in the line of duty while reinforcing the dam. When the court officials arrived tomorrow, they happened to attend Zhou Mu's funeral.

When he saw that Zhou Mu had not returned for a long time, and no news came back, it happened to be a high tide, so he was worried and took people to check, only to find that Zhou Mu had been martyred.

In order to fulfill Zhou Mu's last wish, he risked his life and led others to continue to reinforce it. In the end, the embankment was repaired successfully and the lives of people in the city were saved.

In this way, he will become a major contributor to this disaster relief, and his generous act will also help him gain the support of the people.

He had been following Zhou Mu all the time, and he was already quite familiar with the affairs of the county. He had also made great achievements, so taking over the position of county guard was basically a natural progression.

Moreover, he had inquired early in the morning that Shen Ruhai, the six ministers, was loyal and simple-minded. It was pure luck that he was able to gain a firm foothold in the court.

Firstly, he met two generations of wise emperors, Emperor Jing and Emperor Xuan, who appreciated his talents. Secondly, he married a good wife and gave birth to a good daughter.

With the support of the Prince Regent's Palace and the Duke's Palace, his position in the court can be said to be stable and stable.

Unlike those old fritters in the court who have so many tricks up their sleeves, Shen Ruhai must be easy to fool with his straightforward and informal temperament.

But what Jiang Cong never expected was that the person coming from the court turned out to be Shen Shangshu's son-in-law, a regent who even the emperor had to show courtesy to.

Moreover, he arrived a day early, so that all his plans were disrupted.

No news came back to him. The incident happened suddenly and he was completely unprepared. He could only reply truthfully and then take it step by step.

"The imperial court does not allocate funds to strengthen the embankments every year. Everything was fine in the past. How come the embankments were destroyed by floods this year?"

This was really a torture of the soul, but fortunately he had thought of the words well in advance.

"My lord, I don't know. Some time ago, a group of pirates came from nowhere. They landed at night and attacked. They burned, killed, and looted. After looting, they hid back in their base camp.

Pirates are very good at water and are really difficult to catch. The government can only build ships and go out to sea to encircle and suppress them. Seeing that they are outnumbered, the pirates simply use their ships to ram and destroy the dikes, using the power of the flood to block the officers and soldiers from moving forward, so that they can take the opportunity to escape.

Those damn pirates, because of their sins, turned this originally fertile area into a hell on earth, and it was the local people who suffered. "

Jiang Cong sighed angrily, looking concerned about the country and the people. As he spoke, he took out the account book and handed it to Qi Yan.

"Dam reinforcement, pirate encirclement and suppression, and disaster management. Every expenditure of the government has clear records. Please take a look at it."

Taking the things in his hand, Qi Yan looked through them casually, "The emergency measures taken by Mr. Zhou and Mr. Jiang in the face of the disaster were pretty good, but...

The dams must be strengthened and people's livelihood issues must be solved at the same time. Otherwise, when the dams are strengthened and production resumes, many people will starve to death. What do you think, Mr. Jiang? "

"What the prince said is true, and the humble ministers naturally understand this. But not only the crops, but also the barns have been flooded. The government does not have much food reserves, so it is really difficult to open the door."

Qi Yan's eyes wandered and he looked around the room. He looked really poor. Even the officials could not afford to eat, let alone the common people.

"My king hastened his journey. It is precisely because of this that for every extra day of delay, I don't know how many people will die from hunger.

Without further ado, Mr. Jiang quickly led people to count the relief materials and distribute them to the people as needed. "

"Yes, Wei Chen will go right now." Jiang Cong responded, bowed his hands to the man, and immediately turned around and left.

The regent exudes majesty. Even if he just speaks in a normal tone, there will be an inexplicable sense of oppression, not to mention that Jiang Cong has a guilty conscience.

Although he looked calm on the face, his back was already wet with cold sweat.

Fortunately, he finally got over it. Jiang Cong let out a long sigh of relief when he walked out of the room, and then called the yamen to unload the supplies and make arrangements.

"Sir, Master Zhou..." While everyone was busy, the government servant who had reported to Jiang Cong looked for an opportunity to approach and asked in a low voice.

"According to the original plan."

We have come to this point, how can we be willing to give up on Jiang Cong.

What's more, it was normal for Zhou Mu to encounter an accident while building the dam.

He had already made peace with the pirates, but if he passed on the news and canceled the transaction at this time, he would be easily discovered if he was not careful.

The regent is not as easy to fool as Shen Shangshu. Under the regent's nose, he has to be extra careful in his actions.

Jiang Cong led people to distribute supplies to the people, while Qi Yan led officials to explore the local situation.

After a long journey, it was inevitable to be tired, and the journey was bumpy, and Shen Wan couldn't help but have a physiological reaction again.

Her pregnancy has not been made public yet.

She had no appetite and was afraid that she would spit it out accidentally. She took a few bites of dinner and returned early to the guest room arranged for her by the government.

"Dong dong!"

Not long after returning to the room, there was a knock on the door from outside.

She stood up and opened the door. The moment she saw the face of the person clearly, Shen Wan almost reflexively closed the half-open door with a bang.
