Chapter XXVIII

With food, the people's lives gradually returned to normal, and the next most important thing was to hire craftsmen, even with the help of the government, to repair the buildings in the city in time, so that the people could live in stable houses, and Baozhou City was rebuilt into a complete city.

With Shangguan Yinling's coercion, the nearby cities were not too seriously damaged, and the prefect did not dare to slack off, and repaired the disaster in time, gradually restoring the original prosperity and liveliness.

It has been a while since the flood, and the gloomy weather has finally cleared up, and the sunny weather for several days has completely dispelled the musty smell that has been stuffy for a long time, Lu Li stood in the courtyard of the post station, bathed in the sun, and stretched his waist.

Although the city has slowly resumed its liveliness, but their journey to disaster relief is still some distance, first of all, the repair of the city's buildings requires a lot of manpower and material resources, they have gone to urge several times, Zheng Daji's attitude is sluggish, has not discussed a good result.

Since the last time he heard the complaints of the people in the city, Shangguan Yinling has not had a good look at Zheng Daji, and the relationship between the two has not eased much.

They are too upright, Zheng Daji is a corrupt official, they all know, but now is not the time to punish him, and they can only let him get away with it for a while.

After waiting for a few more days without success, Shangguan Yu Ling Luli and a few people stood in the hall of the mansion again.

"Call you adults out."

Shangguan Yinling spoke, how dare the yacha not listen, at that time, he went to the backyard to call Zheng Daji, not as diligent as before, they waited in the lobby for a while, the hot tea was cold, and Zheng Daji came out unhurriedly.

"Lord Zheng is such a great official, and now he doesn't take me as a messenger in his eyes, isn't it relying on your Baozhou plate and not taking this official in his eyes?" Shangguan Yinling's eyebrows were raised slightly, and the fierceness in his eyes was not concealed, although Zheng Daji was not convinced in his heart, he also knew the rumors about him among the people.

It is rumored that Shangguan Yinling is a murderous son who is not close to ghosts and gods, in the capital, although the official position is only to the fourth grade, but he directly obeys the orders of the saint, and in private he does not know how many thorns in the flesh and blood have been dealt with for the saint, and he is the most trusted person in the saint, and even the senior members of the court and the central government of the second rank are afraid of him for three points.

The most important thing is that he has served the emperor for so many years, and the lives in his hands are not a thousand but hundreds, if he is really anxious, and a sword will kill him, no one will dare to say a word.

Although it's on its own territory, it's always a head shorter than people, so it's still a little forbearing.

"Where is the adult, Xia Guan Shicai is having a headache for the renovation of the house, and I ask for your forgiveness if you neglect the adult."

"In that case, Master Zheng will tell me how you plan to renovate the house?" Shangguan Yuling raised his eyebrows slightly, and watched him act quietly.

"Your Excellency!" Zheng Daji suddenly knelt in front of Shangguan Yinling, tears and snot, grabbed Shangguan Yinling's robe and cried, "Xiaguan's heart is bitter!" ”

Shangguan Yuling stiffened slightly, and reached out to withdraw his robe in disgust.

This Zheng Daji acted in a play, but he fought with Lu Liyou.

"My lord, Baozhou is far away, it is not rich in the first place, it has been barely maintained for so many years, and now it is a catastrophe, despite the support of the imperial court, it is difficult to raise so many construction materials and workers for a while, you have also seen, now there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Baozhou, how can they take on such a big project, and I hope that the adults will forgive one or two!"

It's this rhetoric again, it's this rhetoric again, isn't he tired of it?

Mo said that Shangguan Yinling, even Lu Li and Xu Yun, who were standing behind him, couldn't stand it anymore.

This Zheng Daji is a little shameless.

"Master Zheng, roughly calculated, there are thirty or forty people on errands every day in your government office, counting those who take shifts and vacations, as well as the two batches of guards guarding the city, as well as the training manpower of the brigade, how to say that it will be nearly a thousand." Lu Li hugged his shoulders, pinched his chin with one hand, and looked pensive, "Just these people, who have been busy in the city for three days, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to rebuild a new Baozhou City." ”

"This, how can this be, these are all soldiers used to defend against foreign enemies, how can they be allowed to repair the city?" Zheng Daji looked resistant, and waved his hand again and again.

"Lord Zheng, since you are so unwilling to cooperate, don't blame the official for going to the sage, don't say how these people and horses are, even the black gauze hat on your head, I'm afraid you will have to take it." Shangguan Yinling held the tea in his hand, holding the lid and flicking the floating leaves slightly, but he was not interested in drinking, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was no patience on his face.

"Spare your life!" Zheng Daji knelt on the ground, took two steps in the direction of Shangguan Yinling, hugged his moire boots, and before he could defend himself, Shangguan Yinling suddenly withdrew his feet and stood up.

"Lord Zheng, I'll give you a day, if you don't see the workers building houses in the city at this time tomorrow, the official's urgent mail will be delivered to the Holy One the day after tomorrow, if you don't believe it, you can use the official career to fight." After that, Shangguan Yinling no longer paid attention to Zheng Daji, and left the mansion quickly, and Lu Li Xu Yun hurriedly followed.

After everyone in the palace was gone, Zheng Daji got up from the ground, sat in the position where Shangguan Yinling had just sit, and took a sip of the teacup.

"Phew! What is it! ”

He has been an official for more than ten years, and no one dares to say anything in Baozhou, but now a so-called Lord Qincha has come from afar, and he wants to lift the official hat on his head? He was thinking too easily.

"Don't be angry, my lord, now is not the time to tear your face with Shangguan Yuling." The master, who had been hiding behind the hall and eavesdropping, slowly walked up to Zheng Daji and said in a low voice, "Didn't the lord catch Shangguan Yuling's weakness before, it is better to do what he likes and send the beauty to his arms, when the beauty is on the side, I think he will not have the strength to take care of the repair of the house." ”

The master's words reminded Zheng Daji, and he suddenly realized.

For people like Shangguan Yuling, it can be soft but not hard, as long as he finds out his preferences and buys him, he is tight-lipped and does not report the situation in Baozhou to the saint, isn't everything right.

"It's still the master's thoughtfulness, it's the official's carelessness."

On the other side, Shangguan Yinling and his party left the mansion, but did not return to the post station, but walked around the street.

"My lord, you gave Zheng Daji an ultimatum, if he doesn't do what you say, how should we deal with it?"

Shangguan Yinling looked up and down at the dilapidated house, and his expression did not change: "He will definitely not do what I say." ”

"Then why are you still ......" Xu Yun touched his head with a puzzled expression.

"If you don't push him to be in a hurry, why can the dog jump off the wall in a hurry?" Shangguan Yuling picked up the wooden planks on the ground, stacked them in the corner of the wall, and bent his lips very lightly, "Wait, he will make a move." ”
