The Golden County Magistrate

Chen Yan was secretly happy, ignored them, and took Lu Qing'er into the county government office.

"This guy, his mind is full of money!" He Jinyao couldn't help but sigh.

Tang Yun was also a little depressed, so he had to tell everyone to continue on their way.

The convoy headed for the city gate.

Tang Yun was anxious to deal with the civil unrest, so he called Xun Xun Yufei and He Jinyao to discuss with them in the car.

"In my opinion, the root cause of the civil unrest is still the disaster. Only by solving the drought can we solve it once and for all." He Jinyao analyzed.

In fact, it's all old sayings. Tang Yun knows this truth, but knowing it is knowing, how many solutions are there?

"That is to cure the root cause, but now the priority is to cure the symptoms and quell the civil unrest." Xun Yufei said in a deep voice, "I am willing to lead the army to quell this chaos!"

"Duke Xuan is right, but suppressing the civil unrest will also cost a lot of money and food. Now the treasury is empty, where can we allocate money?" He Jinyao said unhappily.

"Even if we can't allocate it, we have to allocate it! We can't let my soldiers serve the country on an empty stomach!" Xun Yufei glared at him.

"You are so unreasonable! I have already said that I can't allocate it, where do you want me to squeeze out this money?" He Jinyao said angrily.

"Enough!" Tang Yun opened her mouth lightly.

The two hurriedly shut up.

Tang Yun looked back and forth at the two people, and he was in a dilemma.

In the end, it was still a matter of money.

"Let's discuss this matter when we return to Beijing. You two should think about it for me first. What can we do to solve the drought?" Tang Yun said coldly.

The two looked at each other.

The court has been discussing this matter for a long time. There are many solutions, but few are useful, and almost none are usable.

"Why not try to transfer water from the south to the north?" He Jinyao said cautiously.

This method was originally proposed by Huang Liangge.

The southern part of the Great Zhou has sufficient rain and lakes everywhere. If it can be transferred to the north for use, the problem of Jizhou can be solved.

But the question is, how to transfer water to the north?

The terrain in the north is higher than that in the south. If a water conservancy project is built, it will cost a lot, not to mention the difficulty of diverting water upstream!

At this moment, Tang Yun suddenly trembled.

"Stop the car!"

The Fengling Guard in charge of driving the car stopped immediately.

In the car, Tang Yun said decisively: "You two continue to return to Beijing and discuss the matter of pacifying the civil unrest with everyone. I have important things to do and need to stay for another day!"

...

In the backyard of the county government, Chen Yan was taking care of the seedlings in the small vegetable garden.

"Soon, wait a few more months, you little guys will be able to make money for me!"

Chen Yan happily fertilized the seedlings while talking to himself.

"Sir, breakfast is ready." Lu Qing'er walked into the small vegetable garden.

"Come on!" Chen Yan washed his hands, turned around and hugged her.

The thin clothes did not have any barrier effect. After a while, Lu Qing'er's pretty face was flushed.

"Sir... Sir, if you delay any longer, breakfast will... get cold..."

"What breakfast to eat, I'll just eat you!"

"Sir, you are so bad! It was only last night..."

The two were in the vegetable garden, and the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came.

"Ah, you guys!"

Tang Yun was anxious to find Chen Yan. When she heard the sound in the backyard, she didn't think much and walked in directly.

But she didn't expect to see such an unbearable scene as soon as she came in!

She was so embarrassed that her cheeks flushed and her heart beat wildly.

But she couldn't blame the other party. After all, this was someone else's home, and Lu Qing'er was Chen Yan's concubine. It was normal for the couple to be intimate. She could only blame herself for being too anxious.

"Miss Zhou, why are you back?" Chen Yan was also a little embarrassed, and couldn't help cursing in her heart.

The yamen runners outside were eating dry food! They knew someone was coming in but didn't even say hello!

Lu Qing'er also blushed with shame, and quickly turned her back to tidy up her thin clothes.

"I have something to ask Lord Chen." Tang Yun turned away with a red face.

"Ahem, let's talk outside." Chen Yan coughed dryly and quickly took Tang Yun out of the vegetable garden.

When they got outside, Tang Yun barely suppressed her pounding heart.

On the table was the breakfast that Lu Qing'er had prepared, with porridge, noodles, and everything else.

Chen Yan has always been particular about food. After all, people are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If he doesn't eat better, how can he justify his hard work to make money?

Fortunately, Lu Qing'er was clever and skillful. Under his guidance, her cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds. All the snacks, porridge and rice she made were delicious.

Just smelling them made Tang Yun's mouth water.

Because she was anxious about the civil unrest, she hadn't eaten anything yet, so her stomach was rumbling.

"Miss Zhou, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, don't be polite. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality." Chen Yan heard the movement in her stomach and hurriedly greeted her.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you." Tang Yun was a little embarrassed, butStill sat down.

She has never been a person who likes to eat, especially after the banquet that Chen Yan entertained her last time, she couldn't forget the taste for a long time.

This Chen Yan is really good at this!

Lu Qing'er, who had already followed out, hurriedly added bowls and chopsticks and served the porridge.

"Huh? There seems to be meat in this porridge? Wait, what is this?" Tang Yun suddenly discovered that there was something strange in the porridge, and she didn't dare to eat it.

"This is called preserved egg and lean meat porridge, which is appetizing and replenishing. It is the original creation of my son. Miss Zhou, you try it." Lu Qing'er said happily.

"What is preserved egg?" Tang Yun looked at the black and yellow thing in the porridge in surprise, which was somewhat crystal clear.

"This is an exclusive secret recipe, how can I say it casually?" Chen Yan has already started to eat and drink.

Tang Yun glared at him, hesitated for a moment, scooped a little with a small spoon, and gritted her teeth and put it into her mouth.

After a moment, her pretty face changed slightly, and she said in surprise: "This taste is very special!"

There are many egg dishes in the palace, but they are all the same, mainly egg custard, supplemented with various ingredients, and she has long been tired of eating them.

But this "pickled egg" is quite soft and elastic, with a strange pickled fragrance while retaining the egg flavor, which makes her appetite even more.

Mixed with the meaty aroma of pork, she can't help but eat one mouthful after another, and finally just picked up the bowl of porridge and drank it all in one mouthful.

Lu Qing'er covered her mouth and smiled softly.

But she was also happy in her heart. These were all made by her own hands under the guidance of Chen Yan, and usually only he ate them.

Although he praised her cooking skills every day, she was also worried that the young master said that because he loved her. Now Miss Zhou's reaction made her dispel this doubt, which was the greatest compliment to her cooking skills.

Tang Yun ate three bowls in a row, and after finishing, she said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I made fun of you."

Chen Yan smiled and said: "No, it's a blessing to be able to eat! However, Miss Zhou suddenly came back to see me, it must be something important, right?"

This sentence made Tang Yun come back to her senses, she said seriously: "I have a huge business, I don't know if Lord Chen can take it."

Chen Yan was immediately happy: "There are only business that I don't want to take in this world, but there is no business that I can't take! Just say it!"

Tang Yun said word by word: "I want to buy water from Lord Chen!"
