The flood waters have all receded, and the discharge of the tributaries of Juntong is very smooth.

Xie Yi dragged his body heavier than a stone and insisted on looking at all the tributaries, and was relieved to see that there were no mistakes, and then the whole person fainted directly.

"Gongzi Xie!"

Bai Lingqing, who was patrolling together, immediately hugged the person quickly with his hands and feet, and thanks to Xie Yi's thin body, otherwise he was afraid that he would fall directly to the ground.

"After the river patrol is completed, everyone has worked hard, and the master will definitely reward him for his meritorious deeds when he goes back."

"It's not hard, our lives are saved by Luo Niangzi, and Luo Niangzi will do whatever we want."

"That's right! Our food and clothing are all given by Luo Niangzi, as long as Luo Niangzi has a word, regardless of whether it is digging rivers or moving stones, we absolutely have no words! ”

……

These people were all busy with Xie Yi day and night, they could be described as embarrassed, but none of them complained that they were too tired, and they all jumped up with excitement after seeing the flood water flowing into their dredging river.

At this time, after hearing Bai Lingqing's words, they applauded one by one.

Bai Lingdian held Xie Yi with his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go." Let's go back, the master is waiting for everyone to go back safely! ”

Everyone was so moved that their eyes were red, and they supported each other and walked towards Chuancheng.

In this troubled world where human life is cheaper than grass, it is undoubtedly a luxury to have someone who expects them to be safe and sound, and has prepared a place to take refuge and wait for them to return. But Luo Niangzi did not hesitate to give them all this, so that they had hope for life and even more hope for life.

"That's right! Get back. I think of Dabao and Nannan. ”

Someone said with a crying voice.

They were grateful to Luo Lingzhi, but they didn't dare to approach it easily, so they turned their gratitude into deeper love and poured it on Dabao and Nannan. Although most of them are just ordinary people, they are doing their best to express that gratitude.

It was already late at night, but the lights in the Taishou Mansion were bright, and everyone was busy preparing for tomorrow's celebration banquet. Cui Tai watched the granary that was almost bottomed, and suddenly lost the excitement of guarding Sichuan City.

At present, the flood is over, but what should Sichuan City do later?

"Xun Mao, you should think of a way. Where should I get the wine and meat for tomorrow's celebration feast? Cui Taishou saw that Chief Xun moved out of the Sichuan City map, and looked at it carefully, but he didn't know what to think. He was in a hurry now, and tomorrow's grain and rice could barely be moved from the treasury, but nothing else.

Besides, after four years of famine, there were no meat shops in the city now, and the taverns had long since closed down. I can't eat enough, where does the grain come from to make wine, even he, the Taishou, hasn't touched wine for two years. So even if he had the money now, he wouldn't have a place to buy them.

Cui Taishou looked at Chief Xun with a sad face, and sighed: "Alas! Except for the large number of people in Sichuan City now, it is basically an empty shell, and there is nothing. When Xu Zhan's old boy saw that Sichuan City was defended, he immediately rode back to Shudi, and he couldn't find him to ask for food and silver in case of emergency, it was useless at all! ”

"Shudi's own survival is quite difficult, let's not make Xu Taishou worse."

Chief Xun looked at the map of Sichuan City carefully, and his eyes fell on the block to the east.

Cui Taishou glared and said hurriedly: "Then you can tell me what else you can do?" Tomorrow, this grain can be appropriated from the granary first, and the wine is not necessary, but not to mention that the chicken, duck, and fish are all complete, there must be a few meat dishes that can be handled, right? This is a feast to celebrate the victory of Sichuan City over the flood, and it is not trivial. ”

Chief Xun didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and there was no urgency to invite 10,000 people to a banquet tomorrow without any wine and meat. raised his eyes and calmly looked at Cui Taishou, who was in a hurry, and asked something else, "Except for the banquet, didn't Taishou think about anything else?" ”

"The matter of the banquet has not been solved at the moment, so how can I think about other things?"

Cui Taishou frowned and looked at Chief Xun, and couldn't help but pull him, "Xun Qing!" Hurry up and help me figure out a way, I see that almost every household in this city has some chickens and ducks, you can tell me that I have people to borrow them from door to door, can it be done? ”

Chief Xun's face instantly turned strange, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Taishou! Please pay attention to the identity a little. Please don't mention this door-to-door borrowing of chickens and ducks, not to mention whether the people in the city can get together thousands of chickens and ducks, has Taishou ever thought about how to pay it back later? ”

Cui Taishou didn't speak.

Chief Xun continued: "Of course, the people are grateful that Taishou has defended Sichuan City and are willing to give it to us for nothing. But the little chickens and ducks that the people in the city have worked so hard to raise are basically to supplement the nutrition of their pregnant women, can the adults bear to ask for them? ”

"So what do you say?"

Cui Taishou didn't know, but there was really no way.

Rolling up the circled map in his hand, Chief Xun looked at his Taishou a little speechlessly, and said calmly: "Since Taishou has no choice, why don't you go directly to Luo Niangzi?" You must know that in addition to the management of weekday chores in Chuancheng, all major matters need to be discussed with Luo Niangzi, and this time the flood control has to be discussed with Luo Niangzi in addition to the salary, how to reward special contributors......"

"Why did I forget Mrs. Luo?"

Cui Taishou instantly became excited, and without waiting for Chief Xun to finish speaking, he directly pushed him to the east across the courtyard, "You're right, Luo Niangzi must have a way." As for other things, you can discuss it with Luo Niangzi. ”

In the courtyard on the east side of the Taishou Mansion, Luo Lingzhi, Bai Wulan and the others did not rest, they moved chairs and sat in the attic where Luo Lingzhi rested to discuss things, and several lanterns were lit around them, illuminating the pile of account books on the table clearly.

"I've basically done the math, and everyone's wages are summed up in this account book."

Bai Wulan handed the ledger with specific data recorded to Luo Lingzhi, and then said: "It's just that for Xie Yi, Zhao Feihu and other people who have made special contributions, it's not appropriate to just give silver." ”

Luo Lingzhi opened the account book and gasped when she saw the silver that had been collected at the end, and instantly felt that she was still very poor and poor, if she couldn't pay directly with food, only this nearly three million silver wages would make her return to the abject poverty she had just reported.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Lingzhi put down the account book, nodded and said, "Zhao Feihu, I have other arrangements, but I still have to ask Chief Xun about Xie Yi." It's a pity that such a person is in vain. ”

While they were discussing, the maid guarding the gate of the courtyard came in and reported that Cui Taishou and Chief Xun had come over and asked her if it was convenient for them to meet now.

Luo Lingzhi smiled, "It's a coincidence that I came, I was about to go to find that side and came directly, but I didn't have to run again." Quickly let Cui Taishou and Chief Xun come in. ”
