But joy is joy, Chen Mu did not indulge in beauty.

Meng Qing is certainly beautiful and lovely, but the political affairs of the DPRK and China are more important.

Just after the wedding, Chen Mu accompanied Meng Qing to play in the palace for two days, and then focused on the political affairs of the DPRK and China.

Meng Qing was quite sullen about this, but fortunately, although she was delicate, she was not unsophisticated.

Under the teaching of Ulila, he also knew that Chen Mu had a lot of business at hand, and the time he could accompany her was limited.

For this reason, Meng Qing did not go to Chen Mu's trouble because Chen Mu focused on political affairs.

On the other hand, the matter of the woman entering the court as an official has gradually calmed down.

It's just that this "pacification" is only a superficial calmness.

When a woman enters the court as an official, it is equivalent to grabbing a part of the number of men as officials, and many of the big families in Beijing do not approve of this.

There are even people who are secretly preparing to move, intending to unite all parties to overturn this change.

Chen Mu has been sending people to keep an eye on him in secret, knowing that several high-ranking families have sent people to gather the students who unfortunately failed to make the list, and are ready to lobby among the people.

Some people even made up nursery rhymes, claiming that Chen Mu was bewitched by demons.

Some people even say that there was a bewitching woman who pretended to be a female official to approach Chen Mu, so that her subordinates could enter the court as officials and insert their own people into Beijing.

Great Xia is about to change.

Rumors like this spread among the people, and Chen Mu was the first to learn about it.

But he was dismissive of it, because he had expected them to do so.

He is in a high position, and since it is a change proposed by the crown prince of the dynasty, it is not easy for those big families to overthrow him.

But it is not so difficult to use the will of the people to bring him down.

But fortunately, he was already prepared.

As soon as such rumors came out, he immediately let people spread among the people all kinds of political achievements made after women became officials.

The people's hearts soon stabilized.

Those men in the capital have old mothers and wives and daughters.

And after those women heard about these things, they even hinted to the men around them openly and secretly that it was not a bad thing for women to become officials in the court.

Over time, the situation was completely stabilized, and even those groundless rumors disappeared without a trace.

After the matter was calmed down, Chen Mu was finally a little relieved.

Suddenly hearing that a flood broke out in a small county not far from the capital, Chen Mu thought about it for a while, and simply sent a few female officials who had just joined the Ministry of Workers' Labor, preparing to let those female officials go to the small county to deal with the flood

In order to ensure that those female officials could make political achievements, Chen Mu deliberately made a request before they set off.

First, when dealing with floods, we must reduce the losses of the people as much as possible.

Second, by taking advantage of this incident, the corrupt officials in the small county were uprooted.

Third, the construction of dikes without expending too much manpower and material resources to ensure that the small county would not be flooded in the future.

Several female officials of the Ministry of Industry listened to Chen Mu's request, but they were not careless, they responded to the request, and set off in a carriage on the same day and went to Xiaojun, which was very positive.

Floods erupt every year in the small county, causing untold suffering to the people of that small county.

As far as Chen Mu knows, that small county was clearly an important place for traffic with many merchants and people coming and going in the early years.

However, just a dozen years ago, after the first flood broke out in that small county, floods often broke out, making it impossible for the people to cultivate in that small county.

Even the merchant caravan was stopped in that small county several times because of the flood, and lost countless silver coins in vain.

Because of this, the small county is declining, Chen Mu looked at the county history materials of the small county, and secretly pondered about the floods that broke out year after year.

"There had been no floods in the early years, but there was a flood fifteen years ago, and the scale of the flood was very large......

"Can you send someone to check on the upper reaches of the river?"

As soon as he collected the information in his hand, Chen Mu raised his head and looked in the direction of his entourage.

The attendant was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head blankly.

Floods are natural disasters, what is there to check for this?

As soon as Chen Mu saw the other party's appearance, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Fifteen years ago, there was not a single year of flooding, the economy of the small county was prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

However, in that year, a flood suddenly broke out, and the river must have been blocked.

Chen Mu opened the map of the state and county again, studied it carefully, and then his eyes fell on the city not far from the small county.

Chen Mu raised his hand and nodded at the city, and said.

"How has this city developed in the past two years?"

Hearing Chen Mu say this, the entourage immediately took two steps forward.

"The development was very good, and after the flood broke out fifteen years ago, because the trade routes in Meijun were blocked, the fields could not be cultivated, and many people moved to this city."

"The city has grown in size, and now it accommodates tens of thousands of people, most of whom are merchants and caravans who have settled in Meijun. I will also choose to settle in this city. ”

When Chen Mu heard his entourage say this, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded secretly.

Just as he was about to retract his thoughts and put this matter down for the time being, Chen Mu suddenly remembered something.

He looked up in the direction of the attendant and asked again.

"The county guards and high-ranking officials in this city are all from the big families in our capital."

The city is not far from the capital, and the officials in the city must also be from the high-ranking families in the capital.

"Back to His Royal Highness, it is the Lang family and the Zhao family."

When Chen Mu heard this, he nodded clearly, and then remembered something.

He frowned, the surname "Lang" is rare in the capital, and it is said that the Lang family is a famous noble family in the capital.

This time, there were countless corrupt officials in the city, but the Lang family was not affected at all.

It seems that he is noble and dedicated to the people, but Chen Mu always feels that the history of the Lang family in the past two years is a bit strange.

The Lang family happened to suddenly make a fortune more than ten years ago, and it is said that they are new to the capital and settle down.

When I first came to the capital, I was severely ridiculed by those famous families in the capital, saying that they were nouveau riche who couldn't be on the stage.

But in recent years, Langya has made a lot of political achievements, thinking that at the beginning, the master of the Lang family who led the Lang family was only the county guard of a small county.

was originally from a poor family, but later because of a coincidence of his own, great luck came, and he successfully joined the capital with these great achievements and became a Beijing official.

Then he took his family to make political achievements in the city and soared.

His three younger brothers and one nephew are now officials in the capital, and in addition to these four people, there are countless side branch disciples who serve in other cities.

"In which city did the old man of the Lang family work in the first place?"

Chen Mu was curious and asked.

When the attendant heard this, he immediately replied.

"Wucheng is also a small county, and after that Lord Lang entered Beijing, it didn't take long for it to become a famous big city."

"Although it did not occupy the main transportation route, it coincided with the famine and plague in several surrounding cities, and Wucheng accepted the people who defected, and the scale gradually expanded."
