"Several times before, we ran into trouble, and Uncle Bai helped us deal with it."
Luo Fengtang was detained in Licheng by Prince Nan, who was eager to love his daughter. It was Bai Laowu who made Prince Nan sell his favor.
Zhao Bosheng, the county magistrate of Huguang County, is also an old acquaintance of Uncle Bai.
Uncle Bai said hello. Luo Fengtang and Zuo Junmo were still on the arrest list at that time, so they were directly received by the county magistrate.
"Uncle Bai is secretive and has many connections. Maybe he can help us with this matter?" Yang Ruoqing said.
Luo Fengtang nodded: "You'll know after you try it. Without further ado, I'll send him a letter right now."
…
Mu Zichuan continued to stay in the county town, while Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang returned to the village overnight.
It’s impossible not to return. The folks in the village are still waiting for news.
At this time, the three of them have unknowingly become the backbone of the villagers.
When we returned to the village, it was already midnight.
However, the main room was still brightly lit.
Li Zheng, several village elders, Yang Huazhong, Chang Geng, and Lao Yangtou were all waiting for news in the main room.
Seeing the two people walking through the door, everyone stood up.
"Qing'er, Tangyazi, have you seen Brother Zichuan? How are things going?" Li Zheng asked first.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang followed what they had discussed on the road and said to everyone: "I see, Zichuan has submitted the strategy, and an adult has already agreed."
"Another adult is working on water control in the next county. He didn't make it in time. We'll go back and wait until the other adult has taken a look. Then we can start digging the canals. It should only be in the next few days!"
When everyone heard Yang Ruoqing's words, they felt relieved.
In everyone's mind, one thing happens after another.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang's prestige in the village was also established step by step.
Now, if she says it's soon, then everyone really thinks it's soon.
Yang Ruoqing continued: "Starting from tomorrow, we will first adjust the location and width of the canal to be dug and mark it."
"When we get the order from above, we will dig directly along the line. It will save a lot of trouble," she added.
Li Zheng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's start tomorrow. We can't be so idle and can't do anything. It's urgent!"
Everyone nodded.
Beside him, Yang Huaan hesitated to speak.
Yang Ruoqing noticed her father's appearance and asked him: "Dad, just say what you want to say directly, there is no need to hesitate."
Yang Huaan then said: "Although the government does not pay us people to do corvee service, we still have to prepare our own dry food."
"But we are not in the off-season after the autumn harvest. We don't have anything to eat, so why should we prepare our own dry food?"
“I don’t have enough food to eat, and I don’t have the energy to work.”
"The man is digging a canal, the elderly and children at home are hungry, and they are not paying attention to digging..."
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and interrupted Yang Huazhong.
"From tomorrow onwards, I, Yang Ruoqing, will provide dry food to all the villagers involved in digging the canals."
"Whenever a family sends men to do corvee labor, my family also provides two meals a day for the elderly and children," she said.
Hearing this, the stone in Yang Huazhong's heart completely fell back.
Li Zheng and several village elders looked at Yang Ruoqing with moved expressions, "Qing'er, you are really the lucky star of this village!"
"If we didn't have you helping the villagers like this, a large number of them would have starved to death."
"I heard that people in the nearby villages are starving to death..."
"You are the savior of our Changping Village!"
Facing the mountain of compliments, Yang Ruoqing blushed.
"Don't praise me, everyone. I am also a member of Changping Village."
"I don't dare to take the title of savior."
"I just have one request. At this moment, we all must unite and work together to control the flood! Can we do it?" she asked loudly.
"able!"
Everyone shouted loudly.
"We all listen to you, Qing'er. We will do whatever you tell us to do!"
county seat.
In the study room of the other courtyard where the imperial envoy Mr. Xu stayed.
Mr. Xu slowly frowned after reading the letter in front of him.
"My lord, whose letter is that? What does the letter say? Why does my lord look so unhappy?"
Beside, one of Lord Xu's confidants came closer and asked.
Master Xu put away the letter in his hand and said to the man: "That disciple of Mr. Zhang has such magical powers!"
"Seeing that I rejected his flood control strategy, he actually found the Duke of Zhen to test my pressure, huh!"
"Who?" The confidants thought they heard wrongly, "Prince Zhen Guo?"
There is only one Duke of Zhenguo in the current dynasty.
"No way? Hasn't the Duke of Zhen Guo already retired to his old age and no longer interferes with the affairs of the court?"
"Sir, you are an imperial minister sent by the Holy Spirit. You have the final say on how to control the water. Why should you care about the words of the Duke of Zhen who is taking care of himself at home?" the subordinate arrived.
Master Xu shook his head and said to this person: "Don't underestimate that old guy."
"That old guy followed the late emperor to conquer the world in his early years. He made great contributions in the southern and northern wars. He was named the Duke of Zhenguo by the late emperor. He is the oldest among all the nobles in Daqi."
"After the founding of the Qi Dynasty, he became the teacher of the current emperor and was extremely respected by the emperor."
"The Holy Emperor actually has no advantage during the competition for the position of Crown Prince."
"It is said that there was another prince at that time who was the most powerful to occupy the throne. Most of the court officials in the court were inclined to this prince, and the forces in the army were only following his lead."
"Then the prince didn't know what went wrong, and suddenly disappeared inexplicably. His life and death are still unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"The court was in chaos at that time, and other princes of comparable strength were ready to take action, causing a bloody storm."
"The current Holy Emperor actually has no obvious advantage among the many princes, and the power of my maternal ancestors' family is not strong either."
"It was the old man Zhen Guo Gong who single-handedly put the current emperor on the throne against all opinions."
"Although the Duke of Zhen is getting older, he has not been involved in the affairs of the DPRK for many years."
"If your Majesty has any important decisions, please discuss them with the three elders of our cabinet."
"But for major matters that involve the foundation of Da Qi's royal family, the Holy One will definitely ask Duke Zhen for his instructions."
"So, you said that the old man Zhen Guogong is writing to me now for a trivial matter like water control. Do I dare not sell this favor?"
"Not to mention that I don't dare to disobey, even His Highness Prince Yun doesn't dare to openly offend the Duke of Zhen!" Master Xu said.
All the confidants understood now.
Gritting his teeth in anger.
"Is it Mr. Zhang himself who invited Duke Zhen to suppress you, Mr. Zhang? Or is it the disciple named Mu Zichuan?"
"Could it be the second prince behind Mr. Zhang?"
The subordinate's mind suddenly took many turns.
Lord Xu shook his head.
"It doesn't matter who invited the big Buddha."
"The important thing is that we made it clear that on their side, someone has a relationship with the Duke of Zhen."
"This matter is of great importance. I must immediately send a letter to Prince Yun to inform him of the matter and see what he has to say!"
