The rain that has plagued Macheng Mansion for more than half a month has finally stopped completely, and the leaves washed by the heavy rain for days are shiny, and the sunshine has been washed by the rain between the clear green tiles, sprinkled on the muddy road, and finally dispersed the dark clouds that have shrouded the Macheng Mansion for days.

The people of Macheng Mansion often breathed a sigh of relief.

If this rain continues like this, the entire Macheng Mansion is estimated to be flooded.

In the past few days, the Macheng government has been rescuing the people outside the city under the leadership of Qiao Zhifu.

The heavy rain washed down many people's houses, the people had no place to live, and the torrential rain flooded countless fertile fields.

Governor Qiao's hair was even gray.

Finally, this year's Flower Fighting Club was successfully held, and the idea of compiling flower classics was proposed, which won the emperor's appreciation, and saw that the career was smooth, so he waited for another two years after the expiration of his term of office and then promoted to a step higher, and was promoted to the fourth grade.

Sipin, that's something he hasn't realized for many years.

Seeing that it was about to become a reality, there was a flood in Macheng Mansion that had not been encountered in a century.

If this is not handled well, the victims will be displaced, and they will starve all over the country in the future, not to mention promoted, it would be good if he could keep the black gauze hat on his head.

Governor Qiao hadn't slept well for several nights.

He thinks that he has always been conscientious in his official position, but he has never encountered such a big thing.

The entire Macheng Mansion, not a small place, he is still just outside the city of Macheng Mansion, I don't know what the situation is in the counties and towns below? He didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Just thinking about it makes his back break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he has the disaster relief method that his niece Jordan Hua helped him sort out, and every time he flips through this, he is secretly surprised that Jordan Hua is thoughtful.

It's just that he still lacks enough people to help him with things.

All the subordinates of the prefect's yamen were pulled by him, but some of them were really overwhelmed, and it was okay to do one thing, but if it was taken into account, the command and dispatch would not work.

At this time, Su Chenjing found him, and the two had a secret conversation in the house.

On the second day, the government posted a notice calling on the people of Macheng Prefecture to participate in the disaster relief activities.

If the government can help the people rebuild their houses, reduce their taxes by 20%, in addition to helping the people rebuild their houses, if they can take the initiative to contract the future life of some of the people, that is to say, to help the people through the difficulties of the autumn harvest, they will be exempted from paying taxes for two years.

The heavy rain for several days washed down the houses of the people, and the people had no place to stay, but this was not the most troublesome, the most worrying thing was that the crops in the fields were flooded, and when the autumn harvest came, the people did not have a harvest, and that time was the most troublesome.

This is the reason why the people are really panicking, after all, the fields are full of water now, even after the autumn harvest, they can't plant crops immediately, and the real crops will have to be planted until next spring.

As soon as the government's notice was posted, it sparked a lively discussion.

Interested people can see that this notice of the government is mainly posted by the high-ranking families of Macheng Mansion, and how can ordinary people have those spare money to help the people rebuild their houses.

Not to mention the need to feed them until next spring.

The official document of the government said that it was to help the people through the difficulties of the autumn harvest, but as long as anyone who knew a little about farm work knew that the fields were full of water, and nothing could be planted at all.

So many people are a little hesitant.

The Su family was the first to stand up and support the government's decision.

They took the initiative to contract the reconstruction of a severely flooded village and the livelihood of the people in this village.

Su Chenjing's move shocked the entire business community in Macheng Prefecture.

"The Su family? Which Su family? ”

"It's the Su family who sells fragrant wine."

"Oh, the eldest young master of the Su family is only eighteen years old this year, right?"

"But no, hairy boy, it's inevitable to be impulsive."

"Where are those refugees so easy to provoke, and if they do, they will never be able to get rid of it."

"Not necessarily, I have been in contact with Young Master Su before, he doesn't look like the kind of person who does things without measure, besides, such a big disaster, will there be no appropriation from above? Maybe there will be some unexpected benefits in this? ”

Regardless of whether the outside world praised or belittled, Su Chenjing was unusually silent and took the villagers of Yejia Village, which was contracted by the Su family, to dredge the water outside, and the old, weak, sick and disabled first gathered in the house that had discharged the water, and let the people in the family set up a place for cooking, and provided three meals a day for the people in the village to eat.

Knowing that Su Chenjing would always help them until the new grain was harvested next year, the people of the entire Yejia Village were grateful to Su Chenjing, and the patriarch of Yejia Village took the whole village to thank Su Chenjing for his kindness again and again, and promised that as long as the water was dredged, they would go to the city to work after repairing the house, and they would definitely not rely on the Su family all the time.

Seeing the relationship between the Su family and the people of Yejia Village, some merchants also stood up and followed the Su family's method, and more and more people participated in disaster relief activities, among which the Du family contributed the most money and contracted a village with the largest population.

At the end of August, the will of the imperial court finally arrived in Macheng Mansion.

The prefect of Macheng made every effort to provide disaster relief, and allocated 30,000 taels of silver for the reconstruction and life of the victims' houses.

At this time, the flooded houses in various parts of Macheng Province have basically been cleared out, and they are almost repaired.

Because the village was full of water, Su Chenjing suggested that Governor Qiao adopt the same method he had used in the Kang family's Qinxiang Garden, and dig a large pit in the middle of several villages to divert water from nearby villages into the pit.

When the flood is cleared, the big pit dug can be used as a pond for the people to raise fish and ducks, etc., anyway, there is no production in the field now, it is better to find other livelihoods.

In September, the whole province of Macheng was basically restored to its original state, except that there was still a lot of water in the fields, which made it impossible to grow crops.

Governor Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, God forbid, his efforts were not in vain.

In addition, he also attached a list of people who had contributed to the disaster relief, asking the imperial court to reward him, and Su Chenjing's name was also included in it.

It was also mentioned in the compromises that at that time, the people of the government were limited, and Su Chenjing was the first to stand up to support the disaster relief, and put forward many suggestions for disaster relief, such as contracting, tax reduction, digging ditches, etc., which made a turning point for the entire disaster relief work.

The next question is the livelihood of the victims from this period to next spring.

The government issued an official document to hold a flower viewing party in autumn and winter in November, inviting flower merchants from all over the country to come to Macheng Mansion to show all parts of Daliang a Macheng Mansion that has survived the flood attack and still does not fall.

However, the people used in the entire arrangement of the cherry blossom viewing party must be villagers who have been affected by the disaster and still have no livelihood.

A flower viewing party, from the construction of the tent, the arrangement of flowers, the decoration of the venue, cleaning, to the greeting of the day, etc., the trivial and complicated work is unknown.

The government is making a living for the people.

With the government's document, the Du family, who hosted the flower viewing party, naturally wanted to express their position, not only to invite the villagers, but also to pay more than usual.

As soon as Du Jiayi expressed his position, the exhibitors of the flower viewing party also expressed their positions.

Naturally, the Kang family is also among the exhibitors of the flower viewing party.

Kang Yan basically lived in the Qinxiang Garden for the past three months, constantly mixing nutrient solutions every day, improving the properties of the flower beds, and constantly planting some flowers with short flowering periods and water-loving flowers to absorb the water in the soil.

Of course, the flower garden of the Kang family has been built in the flower garden for more than three months, and Chen Yikang has been staring at the Qinxiang Garden until the flower trellis is set up before leaving Macheng Mansion and returning to the capital.

For this sixth cousin, Kang Yan gradually changed her opinion, and discovered his awkward personality, Chen Yikang spoke directly and harshly, obviously if he was kind, but he said it from a mess that could make him popular.

After discovering Chen Yikang's characteristic, Kang Yan smiled every time, angry with him with a salty and indifferent attitude, and often brushed Chen Yikang's angry sleeves away, and Kang Yan was happy behind her back.

"Why does the girl keep playing tricks on the sixth young master like this?" Every time Mother Song saw Chen Yikang brushing her sleeves away, she couldn't help but come to tell Kang Yan about something next time, so she persuaded Kang Yan.

Kang Yan smiled, "Mom, don't you think the sixth cousin is more energetic with such an angry appearance?" Besides, my grandmother also said that the sixth cousin was too arrogant, and it would be better to grind him more. ”

Kang Yan is supported by the eldest princess Fuyun behind her.

Since the eldest princess acquiesced, Mother Song naturally had nothing to say.

Poor Chen Yikang, until he returned to Kyoto, did not know that he was tricked by his grandmother and cousin.

However, with Chen Yikang here, the days have passed a lot faster, and the only unsatisfactory time is that Su Chenjing often comes to Qinxiangyuan to see her, every time Chen Yikang meets Su Chenjing, he always speaks in a weird way, and always intentionally or unintentionally prevents Su Chenjing from getting along with him and talking alone.

In addition to these, Kang Yan really felt that this time was still very easy, at least she didn't have to face the blows and helplessness of Qin Xiangyuan alone.

Now the Qinxiang Garden finally has a little appearance, although the flowers in the flower garden have not fully recovered, but at least the soil is almost dry, and it is ready to start planting.

Kang Yan was ready to go home, she had lived in Qinxiangyuan for a long time, at first because the road outside was muddy and difficult to walk, and then because she was too lazy to go back.

As soon as he ordered someone to carry the flowers he had selected to participate in the flower viewing party to the carriage, he saw Su Chenjing walking in in a hurry.

His eyes were bright and deep, exuding an obvious joy, looking at Kang Yan fixedly, if it weren't for Mother Song, he would definitely hold Kang Yan tightly in his arms.

"What's wrong? Where are you from? In such a hurry? Kang Yan asked, intuition that Su Chenjing had encountered something good.

Now there is more and more tacit understanding between her and Su Chenjing.

Su Chenjing grinned, "The reward of the imperial court has come down!" ”rs
