"Half-brother? Did she really say that?"
Listening to Mu Tian talking about everything that happened this afternoon, even Qi Xiao was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Yes, the princess also gave Ye Qingchuan an idea, asking him to go thousands of miles away to find his relatives, and maybe he could even find a young master from the Qi Bohou family..."
Mu Tian didn't know what to make of his expression, while Qin Zhui on the side had to cover his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.
"Let me tell you, the princess didn't have a good face towards our master in the past two years, not to mention someone like him who wants to be a dragon and a phoenix! Hehe..."
Qi Xiao glanced at Qin Zhui, but did not mention that some people were walking around in front of him yesterday, as if he would be kicked out by Feng Xi if he didn't stop Ye Qingchuan.
"Master, let's go next..."
"In addition to leaving the government office, I will satisfy all his requirements. Doesn't he want to see Feng Xi? Let him see as much as he wants in these few days."
"yes."
An hour later, Ye Qingchuan saw Mu Tian again and took the account book sent in the afternoon from Mu Tian's hand.
Compared with the unfavorable start on the mountain that day, Ye Qingchuan didn't know how he came back today.
Probably tired of the idiot princess's nonsense, he has been feeling uneasy since he came back, feeling that this matter is not as simple as he imagined.
At least he still doesn't know what that idiot is thinking.
Until this moment, until Mu Tian handed him a box of exquisite snacks and told him that it was a gift from the princess.
"The princess is noble and pampered. Her temper is bound to be weird and stubborn. Please don't mind it, Ye Juren."
"Commander Mu, where is this place..."
Ye Qingchuan looked at Mu Tian flattered, and the fighting spirit that had been extinguished just now burned brightly again.
He knew that Mu Tian, the chief personal guard assigned by the emperor to the princess, was now the commander-in-chief of all the troops stationed in Liangzhou Prefecture.
This is the celebrity in front of the princess. The princess allows the celebrity to give her snacks in person, which shows how much she values herself.
Yes, that idiot has been chasing Mu Qingze for several years. As long as she has this face, she cannot remain indifferent.
Just like Commander Mu said, this princess is always arrogant, and he must be patient and never argue with her.
Like this, Ye Qingchuan immediately put his heart back in his stomach and once again immersed himself in his dream of wealth.
The reality was as he wished. In the next few days, Mr. Liu Wanshi and Mr. Liu were still busy with official matters. Apart from occasionally greeting him with greetings, they did not take him out to enjoy the wind and snow.
Not only that, with the help of Mr. Liu and Commander Mu, he could see Feng Xi almost every day.
Occasionally, Feng Xi would say a few crazy things to him. Although they were not pleasant to listen to, they were harmless.
Sometimes he even thinks that this is a sign that the other person is close to him, and he wishes that the other person would say something crazy.
In contrast, the consort Qi Xiao rarely appeared. According to Commander Mu, he stayed outside for several days and the princess never asked him.
On the other hand, he received different meals every night, which made many servants in the government office envious.
He admitted that in just five days, he already felt that he was not far from success.
While Ye Qingchuan was working hard in the government office, the imperial envoy Peng Huan, Shi Songgao and others were not idle either.
They first inspected the situation in Liangzhou City with Mr. Li Ge. Thinking that some disaster relief officials had said that they were short of manpower, they just stepped in to intervene.
Unexpectedly, after understanding the almost complete work-point system in the city, they discovered that the shortage was not for senior officials, but for the lower-level officials.
Mr. Li Ge generously expressed his willingness to release these positions, but they wanted to gain credit rather than endure hardship, but they were not willing to go up.
In the past, it was not difficult for the imperial envoys to take over disaster relief matters, because most disaster relief officials had dirty hands, and offending the imperial envoys would ruin their careers.
But Mr. Li Ge and others are different. Not only are they clean, they are also selfless and merciless.
So Peng Huan and others worked hard for two days, but not only did they not get a good position in disaster relief, but Li Gelao and others also coveted what they brought.
"Oh, the Sa family is not here to deliver food to them. We would rather win the hearts of the people ourselves than give them a penny of these things."
Peng Huan sneered, they wouldn't let him get involved in disaster relief, right? What if a refugee pleads for his life?
So on the fourth day after Peng Huan arrived in Liangzhou, he teamed up with officials from the north to build a porridge shed in the city, and asked a group of officials to personally go into battle to deliver porridge to the people in the city.
At first, there were too many refugees going out to work, so the queue in front of their porridge shack was sparse.
Peng Huan was not in a hurry, and just waited for dinner to send people to the city to promote it so that he could become famous.
Unexpectedly, before they could publicize the news, a group of disaster relief officials led their work teams and lined up in front of the porridge shed skillfully.
The big man standing at the front smiled and asked Peng Huan and others if they could start scooping the porridge themselves.
Peng Huan: "?"
All the northern officials: "?"
Shi Songgao and others knew that Feng Xi had served porridge several times on behalf of Emperor Sheng De, but at that time they were still locked up and had no chance to come out and watch the fun.
Therefore, they were immediately confused by the refugee's question, and Peng Huan's face instantly darkened, feeling that the refugee who spoke was deliberately trying to make him lose face.
After all, whose soup kitchen is served by refugees themselves?
Peng Huan thought and said so. But he never expected that the refugees would become unhappy just after he finished speaking.
"The princesses let us scoop it out ourselves, why can't you?"
"Yes, we are all honest people. Just take a spoonful of it. The adults involved in disaster relief all know this."
"Isn't it the princess who gave us porridge in the past? Who is this?"
…
It is said that once this habit is formed, it is difficult to change, let alone these refugees who were taught by the lazy princess herself?
The princess is a flag, a big flag that can suppress Peng Huan and others.
No, seeing the commotion here, Mr. Li Ge, an old fox, immediately got out and said to Xini:
"Eunuch Peng, everyone is used to doing things by themselves, so why do you rush to help? One spoonful is one spoonful. Are you sure that every spoonful you serve is satisfactory? I have to say, you still have to serve the people. Let’s do it ourselves. Right?”
As soon as Mr. Li Ge said "right", the people outside the shed immediately nodded. For a while, Peng Huan and others wanted to show off, but they couldn't hold on to the spoon anymore.
However, the people still looked at their little wooden spoons with a little hesitation, and they didn't look very happy after receiving the porridge.
So Peng Huan and others gave porridge for three days. Not only did they fail to win over the people, they also stole the chicken and lost the rice. They were made stingy and hypocritical by a certain Princess Zhaoming who was honest and trusted the people.
What's worse is that the news that Shi Songgao and others' private treasury was robbed also came back on the fifth day, which almost made these corrupt officials angry.
Peng Huan was extremely angry, so Ye Qingchuan also figured out his first task after entering the government office during dinner on the fifth day.
