"Did you give it to your father?" asked Zheng Yichen.

"Back to the young master, the slave and maid sent it over, and after the master looked at it, let me come back and talk back. It is said that the penmanship is quite popular, but you should not be proud, and you must continue to hone it. The old man said that he would copy "Mirror Xiu Ce" next. I saw that her face was serious, and after replying, she knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said nothing, as if she was waiting for something.

Zheng Yichen looked at her face and knew that something must be wrong. Usually when Mr. is teaching, he has always disliked outsiders to disturb him, Wen Yu knows this rule, and still stays here, it seems that there is something important, she doesn't know if she should say it in front of Wang Zhi. Hence the hesitation.

Then he commanded: "Sir is not an outsider, you can tell me anything you want." ”

Wen Yu nodded, and then quickly arrived: "Young Master, just now I sent a word over, and I faintly heard the news outside, saying that there was a major flood in the Sui River, five cities were implicated, and there were countless refugees.

When Wang Zhi heard this, his face changed, and he quickly looked at Zheng Yichen, and Zheng Yichen also looked at Wang Zhi at the same time, both of them saw a trace of surprise and surprise in each other's eyes!

At the same time, Zheng Yichen secretly sighed, this Wen Yu is also smart, this can be heard by him! If such a character is put in his previous life, he must be a scheming person!

At that moment, he said to him, "Very well! You have done a good job! Go to the account and pay ten taels of silver, and you will be rewarded!"

Wen Yu's face softened at this time, and she smiled slightly: "Thank you, young master! By the way, yesterday, the slave and maid have already reconciled the accounts with Sister Cui'er for all the rewards, and they have returned to Wanbi, do you want her to settle accounts with the young master? Besides, seeing that it's time for lunch, is it taken by the backyard chef today or is it made by the chef in our yard?"

Zheng Yichen secretly thought, this maid is becoming more and more clever, it is really easy to use, and he said: "It's better to get the raw materials in the backyard, come to our yard and make it yourself, you are a little tired, take care more, Cui'er is still young after all, and she is not as clever as you." Wen Yu bowed his head and replied, and went down to order.

Wang Zhi didn't wait until she left, and suddenly said happily: "Young Master!

Zheng Yichen nodded, and was a little puzzled: "Yes, this is an opportunity, but since the second brother also followed, I'm afraid that this matter will not go so smoothly." ”

Wang Zhi stroked his beard under his chin, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, disapproving: "Young master is too worried." In my opinion, the eldest prince is a wise man, and if he can see clearly, with the temperament of the two sons, he will definitely tell the second son!"

Zheng Yichen was a little puzzled, and Wang Zhi smiled:

If the second son dares to do anything bad in the water control, even if it does not affect the people, it is known by the Hou Ye, and there is no shortage of people who do not work hard and ignore the overall situation. ”

"Therefore, if my guess is correct, the eldest prince will definitely explain to the second son, this trip must not use any means, if it does, it will be self-destruction. However, having said that, the second son's reckless personality is not easy to say, so he still has to be a little more guarded. If there is a chance, the young master can dig a pit, and the second son falls into it, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Wang Zhi carefully finished the second half of the sentence, showing a smile that could only be understood, Zheng Yichen nodded approvingly, thought deeply, and said very solemnly:

"Thank you, sir, for teaching me. ”

After Zheng Yichen finished speaking, he thought about it, and then said:

"Then I don't know how we should control the water next?"

Wang Zhi replied:

"It's still early to talk about water control, after all, we don't know what the flood situation is, but there is one thing that needs to be solved as soon as possible. ”

"What?"

"Silver!"

Zheng Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and Wang Zhi answered:

"Regardless of the flood, only from this year's far more than the previous rainstorm, the situation is absolutely extremely serious, Gongzi went to deal with the flood, even if the Hou Ye allocated money from the treasury, it may be difficult to continue, at most to ensure that the victims are generally stable, but if you want to do a good job, only rely on the money allocated above, it is far from enough. ”

After Wang Zhi finished speaking, Zheng Yichen nodded thoughtfully, but then his brows furrowed slightly, money is easy to say, but the question is where to get it?

Zheng Yiheng has the support of the Ma family and his maternal grandfather's family behind him, as well as the support of the contacts accumulated earlier, he only needs to climb the heights and shout, and some people send money and food, but where can Zheng Yichen get money and food?

Zheng Yichen pondered, Wang Zhi watched from the sidelines and there was nothing he could do, this money and food consumption was not small, it was not something that people like Wang Zhi could take out, Zheng Yichen thought for a while, and finally sighed slightly and said:

"I'll figure out how to deal with the money and food, and then I'll trouble Mr. to prepare first, and follow me to the disaster area at any time. ”

Let Wang Zhi leave, Zheng Yichen took a sip of tea with a headache, and thought of a way in his heart:

"At the moment, there are really no connections to use here, not to mention the accumulation itself, at most only a hundred taels of silver, which is not even a drop in the bucket!"

"Where else can I get some money?"

Zheng Yichen frowned slightly, and finally sighed helplessly after thinking for a long time:

"It's really not good, I can only secretly borrow some connections and savings from the Divine Palace. ”

Zheng Yichen actually doesn't want to call the resources of the Divine Palace, although the resources of the Divine Palace are extremely generous, and the few big households that have been supported are also considered rich, but if they want to use it on a large scale, it is tantamount to exposing the relationship between the two, and now Zheng Yichen has a large number of followers here, if he does this, the Divine Palace will be exposed prematurely, which is extremely unwise.

Moreover, no matter how generous the Divine Palace is, the Divine Palace can't afford to spend a few times on this level of silver money, and Zheng Yichen doesn't want to waste his savings for many years.

"Maybe there's not a lot of resources that can be called up in secret, but it's a lot, and if you use it in practice, you can do a lot of things. ”

Zheng Yichen had just finished speaking, and suddenly there was a call at the door:

"The third prince can bring a message from the Hou Ye to his subordinates! I want you to go to the front hall!"

Zheng Yichen got up, straightened his robe, and walked out calmly to meet the order sent by Zheng Xuan.

A soldier of the Hou Ye stood upright at the door, saw Zheng Yichen come out, greeted him, and the two left before and after.

Zheng Yichen got the news in advance and was ready to go, and Zheng Yiheng also got the news in advance and was ready to go, but Zheng Yiheng's news came from the Ma family, and it was a full night earlier than Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yilang sat in Zheng Yiheng's study, his expression was cold, and his tone was serious like never before, Zheng Yiheng sat down, listening to the words, and had to be cautious:
