After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

This is not because she is alarmist, but because major disasters are often followed by major epidemics. In addition, it is hot summer and rainy, so once the corpses rot, diseases are more likely to occur. The rainwater flows into nearby rivers and ditches. Once passers-by drink, the disease will easily spread.

The topic turned to the epidemic, and everyone looked solemn. In addition to providing relief and reassuring the people after a major disaster, another focus is epidemic prevention. Even though there are prescriptions left by predecessors, epidemic prevention still cannot be taken lightly.

"Everything is in accordance with the rules. The counties will pay for the burial of the ownerless corpses, and those who died at home will be collected by the family, but remember not to stop to pay condolences. Taoist temples in various counties must also set aside a separate piece of land to set up Hospital. If this place is full, another hospital will be opened. Each hospital must be guarded by sergeants, and visits and random access are strictly prohibited." Pei Jiaoran said clearly and clearly.

Xia Yang County Magistrate asked: "What about this medicine?"

"Thirteen medical students under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou will go to each county to distribute prescriptions. Doctors in each county are not allowed to leave the county at will. They must assist the court in preventing the epidemic and treating the people." After a pause, Pei Jiaoran said: "As for the medicine. You will never tell me that medicines in pharmacies in various counties are also charged at high prices. If this is true, I would like to come to him in person to pay my respects."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Pei Jiaoran said coldly, "There are rules to follow in formulating anti-epidemic prescriptions. Let the doctor just follow the most appropriate formula."

As the night progressed, the meeting finally came to an end.

Lifting his eyes to look at the county magistrates, Pei Jiaoran called Wu Lingjia over. Let her and Zhou Mancao work together to copy the key points of this meeting, the post-disaster relief instructions, to the county magistrates, and ask them to rush back to the county magistrate overnight.

After sending the remaining seven county magistrates away, only Heyang County remained.

After thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran ordered someone to go to the county jail to bring Magistrate Yang out.

At this time, Magistrate Yang was no longer as domineering and arrogant as when he first met him. The whole person shivered.

Looking at Magistrate Yang who was kneeling on the ground with his head downcast, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Magistrate Yang, I have a merciless request."

"Pei...Servant Pei, please speak." Magistrate Yang's voice trembled.

"It's not difficult." Pei Jiaoran's smile gradually deepened, "I just need to borrow your official robe and official seal."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Yang raised his head and looked at her in astonishment.

But Pei Jiaoran held his lips and took the official seal of the county magistrate from the case and handed it to Wu Lingjia.

"Heyang County is leaderless. If Lingjia can help you, please temporarily act as county magistrate until the disaster relief is completed and then return it to the court." Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows, "I will report this matter to the court. You don't need to worry."

When he stopped talking, Quan Dehui suddenly stood up and glared at Pei Jiaoran. Obviously dissatisfied with her move.

Lifting his eyes to look at Quan Dehui, Pei Jiaoran leaned back and asked, "What do you mean, Governor Quan?"

"Servant Pei, is this too childish? How can this person, who is not a minor official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, take on the important post of county magistrate?" Quan Dehui said with a flick of his sleeves and said coldly: "If Minister Pei insists on doing this, Quan I will never be with you."

"Whether she can afford it or not. It doesn't matter what you say, it depends on someone else. If Governor Quan doesn't want to, he can transfer the power to me."

After listening to her words, Quan Dehui felt angry and left.

Seeing Quan Dehui about to cross the threshold, Pei Jiaoran suddenly smiled and said, "I would also like to ask Quan, the governor, to stay in Heyang temporarily, and jointly entertain the gentry with Pei as a thank you for today's donation of money to the people."

Quan Dehui's eyelids suddenly twitched, he turned his head to look at Pei Jiaoran who was smiling calmly, and suppressed the thought of hacking her to death. His eyes turned to Li Xiujing and he gave a cold voice. Stride away.

After sending the officials from Heyang County to escort Magistrate Yang back, Pei Jiaoran turned his eyes to look at Wu Lingjia.

"This period of time will probably be tough for you. I'm afraid I won't be able to get away." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

"Isn't this a good opportunity for me?" Wu Lingjia smiled helplessly and held her hand, "Jiajia, just do your thing with peace of mind. Leave the rest to me."

Zhou Mancao looked at the two of them, "Then what should I do?"

"You stay here to help Lingjia." Pei Jiaoran looked at her with a teasing look in his eyes, "I can feel at ease with a naughty guy like you here."

Wu Lingjia has a gentle temperament. Although he is not lacking in means, he has been in Chang'an all year round and has never been anywhere. If you act inconsistently, you will be constrained by what you can see. Zhou Mancao has been traveling in Jiaofang Yeting and other places all year round and has seen the evil in people's hearts. The most important thing is that her methods do not require any scruples, so she can confront the opponent most directly and effectively.

The reason why she brought these two girls out this time was, firstly, because she really had no one available, and secondly, she wanted to take this opportunity to let them understand the operation of the country's grassroots government agencies and how the central government's decrees should be implemented in local areas. . When they return to Chang'an, the problems they face when dealing with government affairs in the future will not just be superficial.

The most important thing is that in the real world of power, there are very few people in the book who have never been a grassroots official before jumping into the central government. Even men and women who have entered officialdom cannot escape this level. As for the rumor that Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of twelve, it was also because the pre-Qin official system was not rigorous at that time, and his appointment as prime minister was more like a false title, and no political achievements have been passed down in history books since then.

Zhou Mancao rolled his eyes at her and said with a smile: "Then do you want to live happily with this guy?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at Li Xiujing, his brows furrowed.

"Your Majesty asked me to personally protect Mr. Pei, how dare I disobey?" Li Xiujing said warmly.

Hearing what Li Xiujing meant, Pei Jiaoran looked away.

"I don't know what's going on with He Liang. You two stay here for now, and he and I will go to the porridge shed to have a look." After that, Pei Jiaoran picked up Li Xiujing and walked out.

The two of them got on their horses and ran out of the city through the mud after the heavy rain.

The rain has stopped for a while, but the sky has not yet cleared. The canopy is spread out like rice paper, with dark and light ink colors complementing each other.

Walking along the Jianshui River, we were ravaged by the continuous rain. The water has overflowed the river bank and covered the field ridge. Along the roadside, you can see rocks washed down by heavy rains.

"If others don't know, they might think you are my defense pavilion." Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing and said.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing smiled and said, "Is there such an impressive Fangge as me? Qingjia, why don't you arrange a job for me?"

"What do you want to do?" Pei Jiaoran poked his eyes out, "I have an idea, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."

"Tell me about it, maybe I'd like it." Li Xiujing looked curious.

"I'll lend you the reputation of the Li family in Longxi. Xuanyin, I think you won't have any objections," Pei Jiaoran said with his eyes twitching.

Meeting Pei Jiaoran's gaze, Li Xiujing smiled. In an instant he understood what she wanted to do.

Even though she was born as a Jinshi, she was also a fourth-rank official. But in the eyes of those powerful gentry, he was nothing more than a piece of grass. So she needs outside power to get those into her game.

"A fox pretends to be a tiger? I wonder how many chickens Qingjia plans to eat?"

Upon hearing the question, Pei Jiaoran smiled but did not answer, with a calculating look in his eyes.
