The Queen's Prime Minister Raiders

, "Princess An, the sun is too strong now, and you are tired of traveling, can you go back to the house to rest? Someone is watching here."

Zhong Wan said indifferently: "Inspector Wu, I am standing here, not a noble concubine, but the governor of Jiangnan."

Governor Wu accompanied him with a smile, "Okay, okay."

The embankment is divided into several sections, and the section where Zhong Wan is located is more than ten miles long. A day of slow inspection is enough for her to walk the entire distance.

All day long, nothing happened.

Zhong Wan held the dossier high, and didn't want to read anything related to the merchant.

An Yiqun encouraged her: "Don't be afraid."

Zhong Wan nodded seriously.

The most troublesome thing is dealing with merchants and dealing with conflicts. Zhong Wan discovered Huadian, "The governor Wu has a relationship with Shichang."

An Yiqun shook his head with a smile: "More than that, this governor is from the Wu family in Yanling. Does the imperial concubine know the wife of the Fang family in Qingzhou who was executed?"

Zhong Wan raised her eyebrows.

"It's a family. Fang Deqian's wife is the eldest sister of Wu Cishi's compatriot."

The Fang family in Qingzhou was in decline. In order to ensure their livelihood, they started with business. The current patriarch is also Fang Deqian's eldest son, Fang Zhuozi. In just three or four years, he has created millions of furniture.

A woman from the Fang clan married a merchant in the stone field, and the three families were related like this.

Zhong Wan was stunned, "What about your legs?"

An Yiqun: "Please be careful, Concubine."

Zhong Wan inspected several sections and finally arrived in Xunyang. Looking back at her hometown, she felt strange.Obviously only came back last fall.

Dressed in water color, it is integrated with the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

Near the river, there is still water left, and when I step on it, the embroidered shoes are stained with a ring of sand.

She didn't see the tragedy of Jiangnan City during the flood with her own eyes, but she has seen it many times. The flood is so fast that if you can't escape, you can only be washed away by the water. The houses are submerged, and the place where you can stand is full of people. Watching the flood cover again, over the top of the head, there are people calling for help in the water, and the sound gradually disappears. Small boats are fishing for people on the water surface. There are more corpses than living people. I often hear calls for help not far away. Check in.

It doesn't matter if we survive the flood, there will be epidemics after the flood, and a lot of people will die.

At noon, the migrant workers were resting in the shed. Because they were transferred by the victims of the disaster, the government was responsible for the meals and tea. It looked good enough to support hard physical labor.Going deeper, Wu Cishi stopped her with a smile, "The noble concubine has a body of a thousand gold, don't go in."

Zhong Wan thinks about it too.The reinforcement of the embankment required millions of laborers, and the disaster relief funds were used to pay migrant workers. The effect was immediate, and within two months, the repairs were already looking good.

Beside the embankment, there are piles of corpses, besides those who drowned, there are also those who accidentally fell into the water during labor. Zhong Wan continued to march after paying homage.

She doesn't need to do anything, the most difficult early stage, such as fishing boats and draining water, was done by An Yiqun, and she seemed to be here to pick up the leaks.

An Yiqun smiled wryly: "Now the sand and gravel in the warehouse can be used for at most two days."

Zhong Wan: "What about the ones behind?"

"Originally, a deposit was made, and everything will be paid after all the goods are shipped. The stone field relied on its relationship with the governor, and said that it would deliver the goods after payment."

Zhong Wan frowned: "How can a mere governor go against the imperial court?"

An Yiqun: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The farther you are from the capital, the greater the power of the local officials. The governor of the state is the highest-ranking official in each locality. If you don't get it wrong, your majesty can't easily dismiss it."

Zhong Wan looked back at him: "Scholar An, you know a lot."

An Yiqun laughed without saying a word.

Knowing the sophistication of the world but disdain to be with the sophistication, it is difficult for him to swim in this muddy water for the sake of an unborn child.

Purchasing this kind of thing is a fat job, but it is also troublesome. Many things are easy to be unclear, such as the delivery of money, and when it will be paid, there is no fixed number.

Buying by the imperial court, you can't buy and sell by force. There is nothing wrong with the merchant. They just regretted to collect the money in advance, and the governor Wu just didn't help to negotiate a peace.

Zhong Wan met several merchants, "I heard that the quarries in Jiangzhou and even the nearby states belong to your family."

The quarry merchant's surname was Wan, and his alias Qian Wanguan. This time he did business with the imperial court. It can be said that he made a big concession, and he didn't ask for the full payment.

Qian Wanguan has a simple and honest figure, "Yes."

Zhong Wan pulled out a piece of paper, "This is a paper between Xueshi An and you. Even though he was rejected by me, this piece of paper is still valid, understand?"

Qian Wanguan: "Understood."

Zhong Wan lowered her arms, "Written in black and white, the delivery will be made first and the final payment will be made. Where is the goods?"

Qian Wanguan said in embarrassment: "The quarry is difficult to turn around, so I ask the imperial concubine to deliver it first."

Zhong Wan slapped the table and shouted sharply: "In order to prevent you from losing money, the imperial court bought it at a price higher than the market price, but you and the others turned around and threatened the imperial court!"

Seemingly unexpected that Zhong Wan was so tough and straightforward, Qian Wanguan involuntarily lowered his stance, "My concubine, my family is also a small business, and the money is not in place, so I can't turn around. How can I supply?"

Zhong Wan heard that, "Then I don't care about it. If you can't get what the court wants, you can find a way, and you have to pay me on credit."

Qian Wanguan: "..."

After the merchant left, An Yiqun manually pushed the wheelchair, "Didn't you find out the evidence? Be careful not to be accused of being a bully."

Zhong Wan calmly said, "At first, I thought it would be better to be kind. But, is he worthy?"

If Da Lang didn't wake her up, she would still be arguing with him. She finally felt Qin Shu's happiness. Why use a butcher's knife to cut through messy things quickly.Just make sure it doesn't go bankrupt.

An Yiqun tilted his head, no wonder the book said that people who are often together will become more and more alike.

The iron guard in black came to ask for the goods, Qian Wanguan handed over the goods with a bitter face, and a few days later, Shen Zhongwan's domineering voice appeared on the top.

What the queen means is: go by yourself if you have the ability, don't beep if you don't.

Alright, Qin Shu is strong enough, let's add Zhong Wan, do you still want to live?Even the Xia family added a sentence in the family motto, don't provoke women.

After the flood, there were not many drinking water sources, and we had to pay attention to whether there were any epidemics. An Yiqun could not go out, but she was exhausted.

After autumn, the work of the dam supervisor was finished, and it was planned to take ten years to build, which took a long time. An Yiqun was writing a memorial, "Although it was repaired this year, it should be reinforced every year, not If there is an accident, it will be repaired again, and the old saying of repairing the dead is for the people of today to learn from."

Zhong Wan suggested, "There is no need to reinforce it every year. This year it has been repaired very well, and the level has been raised. At least there is no need to worry about it for two years. If there is no need to reinforce it, it will be a waste. Inspect every year and build reinforcements depending on the situation." .”

An Yiqun agreed, "That's right. Your Majesty, please mobilize troops from nearby counties and counties to help the people in the south of the Yangtze River rebuild their homes."

Winter has come, and the people have no time to build houses to shelter from the wind and rain, so they huddle together to avoid the cold.

After Zhong Wan communicated with Beijing and China, the nearby counties brought military tents and stationed them on the Jiangnan land. In the cold winter, nothing is better than nothing.

"Jinling sent a batch of quilts, and Beijing also transferred a batch of grain." An Yiqun listened to the report from the master book.

"Should survive the winter."

The snow in the south is not heavy and not heavy, but it is still difficult to repair houses in winter. In this season, farmers are in a state of slack, and when people are idle, chaos will arise.

He breathed into the palms of his hands, rubbed them together, his wife reported that he was safe, and An Yiqun smiled.

Zhong Wan, who was about to go to the disaster victims' residence, said strangely: "Is she going to give birth soon?"

An Yiqun couldn't help showing a hint of complacency, "What happens next month."

Zhong Wan nodded clearly, it really is a silly father.

The two chatted while walking, An Yiqun said: "The imperial doctor said that she is probably a little girl."

That pretended indifference couldn't hide the ecstasy in his eyes.

Zhong Wan couldn't bear to see his complacency, so she thought about snatching her daughter, calculated her age, and regretted it.

The area where the victims live in no fixed place is in good order. The two of them felt satisfied after seeing it.Zhong Wan was walking in the middle, and the corner of her skirt was pulled off, she looked down, and it was Yingniang.

After quietly looking at each other, Zhong Wan walked forward as if nothing had happened.

She waited at the corner of the street, and Yingniang appeared later, bending her back cautiously, tense and restrained.

Zhong Wan broke the silence, "Are you okay?"

"I'm... pretty good." Yingniang hesitated to speak.

Zhong Wan looked at her in rags and with a withered face, she took out a thin gold hairpin from her head, looked at the gold hairpin and put it back in boredom, but found nothing suitable for her after searching all over her body.

Yingniang: "No need, I have savings on me, I won't live for a few years, it's enough for me."

Zhong Wan said calmly: "You did it on purpose."

A mother who is indifferent to fame and fortune would never have grabbed her a quarter of an hour ago.

Yingniang said embarrassingly: "I am also telling the truth. If you don't want to help me, I won't pester you. Even if you are favored in the palace, it must not be easy."

Zhong Wan walked a few steps in place, thinking of something, "Is the Zhong family still in touch with you?"

Yingniang rubbed her skinny hands: "They were there before the flood, but they disappeared after the disaster. I can't find them either. I don't know if they moved."

Zhong Wan grabbed her arm, "Follow me."

Let Yingniang wander away and cause trouble for her with the Zhong family, it is better to take the opportunity for her to take over first. After all, she is the biological mother.

Qin Shu's small courtyard is located on a high ground and is far away from the river, so there was no disaster. Zhong Wan put Yingniang here, "You live here first, and I'll find another good place to move out, and don't contact the outside world."

Zhong Wan knew Yingniang well, she could afford piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she didn't have the ability to communicate with people, so she would be cheated if she went out.

Yingniang agreed, and swept the yard again, "This isn't yours, is it? The concubine can't leave the palace easily, how can I buy property?"

Zhong Wan replied casually: "Your Majesty, just stay here first."

Ying Niang lowered her head, "I'd better go out and live. I'll move after you find a place to live. Don't dirty the place."

Zhong Wan suddenly raised her head: "What do you think?
