Chapter 111: The Flood

"This news was said by Xie Yuanwai?" Qi Lichen fell into doubt.

It is true that Qixian County is remote, otherwise it would not have been so many years, and the imperial court did not plan to rebuild the post station. Is it a coincidence that the old thing is mentioned after many years, or is it deliberate?

His gaze rested on the drawing in front of his desk.

Xi Duyun nodded: "Xie Yuanwai also got the news from the county order, they are obviously building a restaurant, but in fact, they built it according to the standard of a post station. ”

Seeing Qi Lichen bowing his head and being silent, Xi Duyun frowned slightly: "What's wrong, but what's wrong with things?" ”

Qi Lichen shook his head slowly.

He has been paying attention to the prime minister's movements and dealing with the affairs of Zhangzhou in the past few days, but he has not noticed the changes in Qixian.

"If you don't say it, I know, you're suspicious of the post station." Xi Duyun walked up to him and sat down, "Actually, I think it's quite strange, you said that you should build a post station in a dignified manner, and you have to hide it from the people, there must be ghosts in it." ”

That's why she had to go there.

The affairs of the court originally had nothing to do with her, she was a small boss with the surname of a small boss, and she only had to live her life well, who would have thought that she had found a prince who was the prince of the former dynasty.

"You be careful these days, Qixian, it may not be peaceful." He sighed softly and scooped the man in front of him into his arms.

……

The sun was early, and Qi Lichen and Xi Duyun both got up early in the morning.

Without waiting for the two of them to go to the agreement with Xie Yuanwai, Xu Bu hurriedly came, followed by Gu Jianglin who was sitting in the carriage.

"What is he here for?" Qi Lichen's face darkened, and his tone was quite disgusted.

Xu Zhizhi secretly twitched the corners of his mouth, ignoring the disgust in Qi Lichen's words, and said lightly: "Your Highness has something to ask, and I also ask Gongzi Qi for advice." ”

Xi Duyun glanced outside, and the people in the carriage and sedan chair had not yet come down.

"I'm a small lifter, but I don't dare to teach His Highness, Mr. has been promoted, I still have something to do today, and it is inconvenient to receive the two, please go back." He wouldn't let Xi Duyun go to work alone.

Seeing Qi Lichen's cold and hard attitude, Xu Zhizhi had no choice but to look at Xi Duyun with a distress look.

He knew that as long as Xi Duyun spoke, Qi Lichen would have nothing to rely on.

However, Qi Lichen took a step forward and directly blocked Xu Zhizhi's gaze.

Bai Ye, who was behind the two, couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Bu: "......"

"I don't know, since Gongzi Qi has something, then forget it, don't be in a hurry at this time." Gu Jianglin said slowly.

Hearing this, Xu didn't know that he had no choice but to give up.

Qi Lichen and Xi Duyun got into a carriage and went to the southeastern part of Qi County.

However, Gu Jianglin followed.

Bai Ye followed the carriage, walked, looked at the carriage following behind, and said into the carriage curtain door: "Childe, the carriage of the fifth prince is following behind, it seems that he is going to go with us." ”

In the carriage, Qi Lichen was silent for a long time, "Let him follow, follow if you love it." ”

He didn't speak well.

Xi Duyun hid his face and chuckled lightly: "What I just want to say, you just let me go alone, the fifth prince came to you in person, there must be something to discuss, why should you be cold to him." ”

Fortunately, Gu Jianglin is a good-tempered person, if he were the arrogant Sixth Prince, Xi Duyun shook his head.

Qi Lichen held Xi Duyun's hand: "He asked for it." ”

Xie Yuanwai had been waiting for Xi Duyun on the ground for a long time, looking at the man and woman who got off the carriage, and knew it in his heart.

"Raise people together, look up for a long time."

Qi Lichen politely said: "Xie Yuan." ”

After all, Gu Jianglin's carriage did not follow Qi Lichen into this land, and there were people with county orders on the land.

In the deep alley, Xu Buzhi opened the curtain door and glanced at the ground in the distance, and couldn't help frowning: "There is news that this is not a restaurant, but a post station. "Seven

Gu Jianglin's face remained unchanged, and his tone was indifferent: "This matter has nothing to do with us, don't pay attention to it, at the moment, the most important thing is the flood." ”

Last month, two days of heavy rain in Yanzhou City collapsed the Yanzhou City Dam, which was originally close to the lake, causing houses to be damaged and food shortages, and hundreds of people were displaced because of the incident.

This is not over yet, who would have thought that after the end of the natural disaster, there will be a man-made disaster, the people of Yanzhou City have no food to eat, nowhere to sleep, so they beg everywhere, not only in Yanzhou City, but also the adjacent Yuncheng Fucheng was also affected.

If we continue to let go like this, there will be nowhere to put the bodies of those dead people, and it will be summer again, and then there will be a plague if it is not handled properly.

This is a phenomenon that must occur after every flood city.

The emperor handed over this matter to Gu Jianglin and Gu Xizhou to deal with, these two people were opposites, so naturally it was impossible to work together, so they could only do their own things and figure out their own ways.

For five or six days in a row, Gu Jianglin and his subordinates implemented various methods to build river dams to block the constantly flowing lakes, but to no avail.

Seeing that the man-made disaster was approaching, he had no choice but to come to Qi Lichen for help.

He could not watch the people of the trillion country being devoured by the plague.

"How can His Highness conclude that this Qi Gongzi has a way?" Xu didn't know.

Qi Lichen is talented, but this Yanzhou flood is not an ordinary flood, almost every year there are such disasters, the imperial court allocates money every time to try to intercept it, but none of them are successful.

And this year's flood is the biggest one, how many experienced ministers are at a loss, and Qi Lichen is not a talent in this area, can he really do it?

Gu Jianglin sighed: "I'm not sure about this matter, but I have to try it to find out after all." ”

Qi Lichen's talent is rare.

Perhaps, he has a way.

Hearing this, Xu Buzhi thought about it and made sense, but he didn't speak.

About an hour, it was almost noon, and Qi Lichen and Xi Duyun exchanged two words of greeting with Xie Yuanwai before they came out.

Qi Lichen's carriage stopped at the entrance of the deep alley.

Bai Ye hurriedly ran over and said a few words, and then the two carriages moved forward one after the other, and finally stopped in a teahouse.

The shopkeeper led a few people to the soundproof private room on the second floor.

Xu didn't know how to tell everything about the matter, but he didn't guard against Xi Duyun.

Hear the word "flood".

Qi Lichen and Xi Duyun glanced at each other, and suddenly understood the reason for the appearance of the book.

Xi Duyun took a sip of tea, and her guess was indeed right.

Everything that comes out of the red envelope, some of which seem useless to the current situation, will come in handy one day.

This is equivalent to her own tips.

Qi Lichen smiled, and didn't know how to hide the emotion in his eyes: "Your Highness wants me to help you?" ”

Gu Jianglin nodded: "This flood has really caused too many people to suffer, I really can't think of any way, and I asked my son to help, I will definitely thank you in the future." ”

Xi Duyun raised an eyebrow.

Gu Jianglin is an upright person, and the thanks in his mouth will naturally not be perfunctory.

She looked at the people around her, the prince's heavy thanks, this was a wonderful opportunity for Qi Lichen.

Xi Duyun's eyes were scorching, Qi Lichen knew what she meant, and patted her wrist with his hand, signaling her to feel at ease, and then said softly: "It's not impossible to help you." ”

Gu Jianglin's heart relaxed.

Thinking that Qi Lichen said this, there must be a way to deal with this flood.

"If you ask for it, you can say it." As long as he does not harm nature and reason, and violates principles, he can act.

Of course, he believed that Qi Lichen would not let him do such a thing.

"Request, no rush for the time being." Qi Lichen took a sip of the tea, it was a little bitter at the beginning, but it was sweet later, but it was a good tea.

He raised his eyes, and he already had a plan in mind.
