After being forced into the palace, I became the tyrant's favorite

Chapter 110 22 Controlling Waterlogging (2 more)

Wen Yao understands this truth, and does not continue this topic, "How long will it take for the victims in the rear to arrive?"

The number of victims was so large that they could only come on foot, led by Xiao Junzhou's subordinates, two thousand households, and several soldiers.

"With their footsteps, it will take two days." Zhou Rong said.

Wen Yao thought to himself, according to the traffic in this era, two days is not too late.

Wen Yao is used to convenient transportation, so it is inevitable that he will not be used to it for a while.

For the rest of the day, the two talked about pastries, and the atmosphere was not so dull.

The winter sun sets early, and just after Haishi, the sky becomes dark.

Wen Yao lifted the curtain of the window and said to himself: "The clouds are so dense that it's going to rain."

Zhou Rong also raised his head high, the sky was gray, and the cold wind blew from time to time, pouring directly into the house, and Wen Yao couldn't help shivering.

The weather is getting colder and colder, so we have to deal with the floods quickly and return to Beijing earlier.

The Chinese New Year is more than two months away.

It was his first New Year's Eve, which was very meaningful. On that special day, he wanted to stay with Ye Chu.

Before it was completely dark, the group finally arrived outside Nanzhou City, and the city gate would be closed after half a stick of incense.

Xiao Junzhou kicked his horse's belly and led the team to speed up.

There were many people standing at the gate of the city. They were wearing thick clothes. One of the middle-aged men wrapped himself into a ball. His already round body looked rounder.

There were two men standing beside him, one was young and the other was in his early forties.

As soon as the three of them saw Xiao Junzhou, they saluted and said, "General Xiao came from afar, so please be rude."

"General Xiao has traveled a long distance, and when I think of General Xiao serving the people of Nanzhou, I am overjoyed." The man wrapped in a ball in the middle cupped his hands.

Xiao Junzhou got off his horse and said to him: "Your Majesty Zhang, you can't talk nonsense. The management of the flood this time is entirely up to Mr. Wen, and I just acted as an escort."

This middle-aged man is the Nanzhou state capital, and beside him are the governor sent by the emperor and the Nantong county government.

The place they arrived at was Nantong, the fortress of the South Continent.

Nanzhou belongs to the south, and the land in this area is fertile and abundant.

There are so many merchants that it can be called the richest county in Dachen except for the capital.

After Xiao Junzhou finished speaking, he turned around and waited in front of the carriage, lowered his posture, with a respectful expression on his face, which gave Wen Yao enough face.

"Master Wen, we're here."

Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other at the same time, each with their own thoughts.Mr. Zhang looked at the young governor, who shook his head, indicating that he didn't know where Mr. Wen came from.

It stands to reason that the imperial decree has been delegated long ago, and they should also know that Wen Yao has appointed the governor.But at the beginning, Wen Yao specifically told Ye Chu not to mention himself in the imperial decree, and wrote a secret edict to prove his identity.

The three of them didn't know that there was no Wen Yao in the imperial decree.

Wen Yao originally wanted to cover up people's eyes and ears, and arrest corrupt officials casually.He wanted to rectify the officials a long time ago, but due to his status, he could not interfere.Now that he is the governor, it's time for him to flex his muscles.

The three people in Nanzhou only thought that Xiao Junzhou was in charge, but they didn't know that Wen Yao was there. Before that, the three decided to reward him.

At this time, Wen Yao glanced at Zhou Rong, and Zhou Rong understood, got up and bent down to get out of the carriage. The three of them immediately thought that he was Mr. Wen who was in charge of the flood, and they stepped forward one after another, flattering and flattering: "Mr. Wen has worked hard all the way. A dinner has been prepared for the adults."

The governor nodded and said, "I'm going to take care of Lord Wen."

The county government on the side also nodded sharply.

Zhou Rong didn't say a word, but Wen Yao in the carriage couldn't stand listening, and said: "The dinner is unnecessary, I think the salaries of the adults should not be enough for a meal in the restaurant."

There are several restaurants in Nantong with a complete range of dishes, eating jade and cooking osmanthus, and a meal costs at least a hundred taels.

As far as Wen Yao knew, the monthly salary of Jiupin County was five shi and five dou, not more than two taels of silver, among them, Zhou Zhi had four taels of silver every month.

With such a small salary every month, is it enough for them to go to a restaurant for a meal?No fool can fool you.

As soon as Wen Yao finished speaking, the three of them frowned inexplicably.

The state magistrate secretly looked at the magistrate, and the magistrate immediately reprimanded: "Who is presumptuous here!?"

Wen Yao wanted to go out a long time ago, but when he heard the scolding, he decided to wait a little longer to hear what he could say.

The county magistrate didn't know who was sitting inside, he thought it was a male servant who came with Zhou Rong, and there were one or two male servants in many wealthy families in Dachen.

The county magistrate was about to continue teaching, but seeing Zhou Rong's gloomy face in a blink of an eye, he asked, "Master Wen, who is the person inside?"

"What's your name?" Zhou Rong asked coldly.

"I—" Zhixian was taken aback by his cold voice, and even more felt that he had hit a wall and encountered someone who didn't know the world.They have already lowered their stance, and the other party still looks aloof.

He is only a third rank, so he only dares to show off his power in front of local officials like them, and he is just a petty official in the capital.

"You don't even know your own name?" Zhou Rong snapped.

Immediately, his face trembled with fright, and he quickly announced his name, "Your official Cheng Fei."

"Cheng Fei." Zhou Rong repeated, "I remember you."

"Not much gossip, lead the way ahead, Shangzhou magistrate, after dinner, discuss how to resettle the victims of the disaster in two days."

The three bowed their heads and whispered in their ears: "Yes."

"My lord, please come this way." The state magistrate led the way in fear, secretly winking at the two governors, and the three respectfully led Zhou Rong into the city.

Wen Yao didn't get out of the carriage, Xiao Junzhou rode, but Zhou Rong and Cheng Fei walked.

Arriving at the prefect of Dezhou, the prefect immediately ordered the servants to prepare the meal after entering the house. It happened that the male voice sounded, "Father, you are back, and mother is waiting for you in the backyard." I didn't see him, but I heard his voice.

"Presumptuous!" The state magistrate scolded lightly: "It's not proper to be reckless, why don't you hurry up and pay a visit to Mr. Wen?"

The man had just passed the weak crown year, looked at Zhou Rong carefully, Fang bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "It's the child's fault."

Zhouzhi asked with a resemblance on his face, "Why don't you see General Xiao?"

"He—" Zhou Rong was about to speak, when a penetrating male voice hovered over the heads of several people, "I'm here."

With a tough voice, it was Xiao Junzhou.

Zhou Rong turned around and saw Wen Yao following behind him at a glance.

At this moment, the young man is wearing a crescent moon dress, not many clothes, making him handsome and tall.

Zhouzhi's son was immediately dumbfounded. He likes beauties, regardless of gender, the person in front of him is even more beautiful than the top card in the rabbit house.

Wen Yao approached, and immediately saw the maliciousness in the man's eyes. If he hadn't followed Ye Chujiu and learned a lot, he might have punched him already. His face was frosty, his expression unchanged, as if I didn't see the greed/greed in the man's eyes.

Seeing him approaching, Zhou Rong immediately lowered his head and leaned aside. Wen Yao approached them under the protection of Xiao Junzhou and the two lieutenants.

"Who is this?" Zhou Zhi seemed to have just recovered his voice.

The son is lustful, and Lao Tzu is also a lustful person. Seeing Wen Yao's beautiful appearance, it's like a toad seeing swan meat, and it's almost ashamed.

No one answered him, Wen Yao looked around his mansion, it was a long way from the main entrance to the main room, he walked for a quarter of an hour, during which time he even saw a group of servants.

When did the Eighth Grade Sesame Official be able to support so many people? !

It's true that people's money is not money.

Looking at the main hall, although it is not as good as the imperial palace, it can be regarded as a carved beam and painted building.

Green tiles and vermilion walls, flying eaves and fighting angles, pavilions and Xie Yu, rockery and flowing water, singing birds and fragrant flowers, it is really enjoyable.

With the state magistrate's salary, in another ten years, he will not be able to afford such a house, and he doesn't know how much people's aspirations and anointings have been looted from it.

Thinking of this, he became angry for a while, and he glanced at the father and son. Originally, he planned to teach them a lesson, but now he planned to use them to catch bigger fish.

Wen Yao didn't say a word, imitating Ye Chu's cold face, and at the same time quietly beckoned Zhou Rong to reveal his identity, Zhou Rong then bowed his hands and said, "My lord."

Several people were taken aback when they heard the words, the imperial decree only mentioned Xiao Junzhou, where did Mr. Wen come from, the three suddenly felt that they had been tricked, and concealed their displeasure.

Who would have thought that the emperor would hand-pick a young man, just now they were courting the wrong person!

The three of them were ashamed and angry.Zhixian's hands trembled slightly. He had spoken to Wen Yao outside the city gate before.

His face turned pale, could it be that this is the end for him?

Then look at the state magistrates and governors next to them all shrinking their necks, not daring to speak out.

"Where is the wing room?" Wen Yao said unhurriedly.

"Come here, the officer will take you there."

"It's work."

After the words fell, Wen Yao followed up...

Even the wing rooms have quite a few furnishings that should be there.

Wen Yao asked Zhou Rong and the others to stay, and Cheng Fei and the others looked at each other before silently leaving.

As soon as the people left, Wen Yao asked Zhou Rong to buy something to eat, and after a simple meal, he called everyone to discuss.

In the main room, the three of Cheng Fei were not optimistic about Wen Yao, thinking that he was one of the three fires for the new official to take office, pretending to be.

Wen Yao didn't bother to look at their faces, he just said he had figured out a way, but he didn't say much about the way.

"Tomorrow, we will recruit some villagers from the surrounding villages and ask them to help build the sheds, and we will provide ten Wen a day for food, and a few aunts will prepare meals for everyone."

"I'm not familiar with Nanzhou, so I'll trouble the three adults."

"No trouble, no trouble." The state magistrate insisted, "It's the job of a lower official."
