"If you want to take it, you will take it, you are embarrassed to ask for my money, then I will lend this money to the government, and when I go back to the government, can you pay it back to me?"

An Nanzhi: ......

It made so much sense that he couldn't refute it.

Seeing that he was not talking, Yan Jiao knew that he would definitely not be able to refuse this reason.

It is said that when a monk rings the bell for a day, as long as An Nanzhi is the day of the county order of Taoxian County, then his first consideration is the people's livelihood, and for the benefit of the people, this sentence is not a lip service, if it is really practiced, it is naturally inseparable from the silver, this yamen is also repaired after An Nan took office, this poor jingle rings, such a big project as repairing a ditch, how to start construction without money?

Unless An Nanzhi is a corrupt official, otherwise he will not be able to come up with this money at all if there is no appropriation from the imperial court, and now this problem is imminent, if he does not hurry up to deal with it, then the loss will be great.

"In that case, then I will thank you on behalf of the government, by the way, this is an IOU, you can collect it first, and when I come to the court in the future, after the appropriation is lowered, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Yan Jiao: ......

Looking at the IOU that had been signed and drawn, Yan Jiao couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that she couldn't bear to give this money out of it for the sake of his face, she didn't expect this money to come back, she never thought that he would do this, and it was really a clear distinction between public and private!

"You ......"

"The public is public, the private is private, as a parent official, how can I let my people suffer unfair treatment, as long as it is the people living in Tao County, I have the obligation to protect them."

"Why do you want to be my elder?"

Hearing An Nanzhi's serious words, Yan Jiao couldn't help but tease him.

This uneasy Nanzhi is also a person who breaks his skills in a second, and when he heard Yan Jiao's words, he instantly blushed and whispered:

"No, Yu Gong, I am the county commander, you are the people, and then you are my family, standing in my position, I can't refuse to accept this money, but I also want to defend you."

An Nanzhi thought about it and felt that only this method could make Yan Jiao's silver not come and go, and solve the problem of people's livelihood, he was first of all a parent official, and only then could he be her husband.

"I love to hear this, since the county magistrate has a clear distinction between public and private, then I won't bother you here now."

"Gillian, are you going back?"

When An Nanzhi heard this, he hurriedly walked to her side, his eyes were a little struggling, he actually wanted her to stay with him, but when he thought of him as the parent official of Tao County, he couldn't indulge in Gentle Township all the time, and he still had a lot of things to do.

"yes, I'll probably have to go back to the store for the next few days."

In fact, when she sent the silver, she expected that there might be a situation where the store might have difficulties in capital operation, as a point of view, her approach at the moment was very stupid, but at the same time, as An Nanzhi's wife, she couldn't watch him worry about these things, since they were trying to live with him, they couldn't just enjoy his good to themselves with peace of mind, and didn't pay at all, right? Isn't that too selfish?

She has never been the kind of woman who teaches her husband and children, she can't cook food every day and wait for him to come home at home, since she can't be a virtuous wife and mother, then she will give some help in terms of money.

"Then I'll send you"

An Nanzhi also knew that Yan Jiao's life would not be easy in the future, he was really ashamed, and when he was busy with this time, he would definitely try his best to make up for it.

In this way, after he sent people out of the yamen, he hurriedly wrote a letter to the imperial court, and then he took Jiang Xiayi to the junction of the upstream and downstream villages.

"My lord, will your method work? What if it falls short? ”

An Nanzhi called the village chiefs of several nearby villages over, and after telling them what he thought in his heart, who knew that they all looked embarrassed.

"Before the construction starts, you are afraid of three and four, how can this kind of temperament become a big thing? Besides, you are still the village chiefs of each village, and you are cringe at a critical time, how can you lead your own villagers well in the future? Besides, whether it succeeds or not, you have to try to know that this is about to be spring ploughing, do you want to harvest no grains in the first half of the year? Don't you have a long memory of all these years of hunger? ”

The reason why Tao County is poor compared to other counties is that in addition to the large number of disaster victims, it is more that the croppers here can't grow crops in the first half of the year, and the croppers can't grow crops, which means that many people will be hungry, and if there are more hungry people, there will be many more beggars every year.

When a family spends all their savings on buying food, there is only one fate waiting for him, either he will starve to death without food in the end, or his wife will be separated and a family will be ruined and killed, no matter what, the situation is not optimistic.

The most terrible thing is that the land in Tao County is barren, and all the fertile soil is a few villages near the upstream and downstream, but because the problem after the snow melts every year cannot be dealt with, their land is equivalent to half a year empty, and they can't grow a crop in half a year, which makes many people hungry.

"It's about spring ploughing, and now the adults are putting all the labor force on this matter, who will cultivate the land?"

"It seems that you should go back to farming, and you will be able to grow crops, today the official is not looking for you to discuss but gave you an order, this matter cannot be delayed, so every family must not be lazy, be sure to solve the water problem after the snow melts completely, in the upstream water shortage period and the downstream flood season before the flood season, who dares to be lazy, is against the government, you should understand the meaning of the official."

Seeing that they were still looking ahead, An Nanzhi directly lowered his face and said with a strong attitude, and these village chiefs were also frightened by An Nanzhi's words, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense, so they hurriedly went back to the village to gather people.

This was not under An Nanzhi's orders, and soon the villagers of several villages brought hoes and shovels and began to work.

However, repairing ditches is not as simple as digging soil, and in order to be able to introduce river water into a number of water-deficient villages, it takes a lot of manpower, and it is far from enough to rely on the villagers of a few villages, after all, the weather is gradually warming, and the speed of snow accumulation is also accelerating, and An Nanzhi is also leading people to dig ditches before the flood season, it can be said that this time is a race against time.

Yan Jiao saw that An Nanzhidu was still supervising outside on this big night, and learned from Steward Hao that he hadn't eaten for a day, she was really worried that An Nanzhi's body would not be able to stand it if it went on like this.
