It should be a water conservancy project that is valued and treated with all its might, and it requires the joint efforts of many departments.

This time, when she came to the scene of the disaster area in person, she flipped through the shocking disaster figures written in the written report of the Qianxian Order, and she only felt a heaviness in her heart.

She even regretted her previous displeasure in the project.

After returning to Shengjing, Zheng Quqi's mind was full of Cangling County, and she took the initiative to coordinate with Sikong with the relevant water conservancy departments, wanting to turn the project that Nanlin Park won independently into a merger of the two parks, for which she also specially listed the relevant benefits.

But it didn't get support and permission, but it wasn't that Sikong and the Ministry of Water disagreed, or even that Nanlinyuan opposed and obstructed, all the objections came from Zheng Quqi who never dreamed of it-the household department.

Zheng Quqi put everything else aside first, and she ran to the Hubu Shangshu to ask for the reason as soon as possible.

After continuous questioning, persecution, and coercion and temptation of chasing and beating, until he cried and fell to his knees, claiming that he really could not take out more money to increase the budget of Cangling County's water conservancy construction, her fiery heart was completely cold.

Do you know what it means to be "vain and talented", but you lost to "a penny is difficult to defeat a hero"?

Here it is.

She can convince everyone with the best plan, but once there is no money, everything is empty.

Ye Guo is really poor, especially in the past few years when he has been semi-abandoned, there is not much silver into the treasury at all, she said how King Ye is so stingy that he wants to cut off the military rations of Chang Tame Slope, not only because he wants to embarrass Yu Wensheng, but also because the treasury is so tight that he needs to shrink his clothes and diet to operate.

What if you don't have money?

forced the head of the household department to die, and he couldn't pay for the project.

If it were modern, she could still find a way to take out a loan, or something in case of emergency, but in this era...... Ay? No, isn't there a way to borrow money in this day and age?

Zheng Quqi thought about it, and the only rich person she knew was Zhang Qinan, the biggest wealthy businessman in the south, so she kept looking for Zhang Nanqi.

As the so-called Qiao woman is also difficult to cook without rice, she can only borrow money from rich people to fill the gap in the project funds.

Zhang Qinan has always maintained a certain amount of contact with Zheng Quqi in private, and when he heard that she was looking for her, he rushed to the Huishang Hall in Shengjing from the south overnight: "Mrs. General, why did you suddenly remember to find Zhang?" ”

Zhang Qinan is responsible for Zheng Quqi's car dealership business, conscientious and loyal, and also regularly sends people to Zheng Quqi to report the monthly statement, although sometimes Zheng Quqi is busy, or her place is not convenient to pass on the news, but he will also leave accounts in the shop under Zhang's name, so that she can check it at any time.

However, the people in the major shops said that the general's wife had never been here once.

Previously, Zhang Qinan didn't know whether she trusted herself too much, or was really too busy and lacked skills.

But recently, he had heard a lot of rumors, combined with the relevant information he had gathered, and only then did he understand what the general's wife was busy with in Shengjing these days.

She is busy saving the country of Ye, busy participating in the six-nation test to defend against foreign enemies, busy saving people, busy with all kinds of things that are far more valuable and meaningful than making money, far more valuable and meaningful than these businessmen who are busy with profits every day.

Zhang Qinan rarely admires a person so much, but for this general's wife, he not only feels an unattainable height, but also admires her personality and thoughts.

When he was young, his father sent him to the school to read and write, and his husband once praised him for his intelligence and eagerness to learn, learning faster than ordinary people, and if he could study well, he would definitely be able to serve the country in the future.

At that time, the students in the school, who were not attracted by the future depicted by Mr., secretly looked forward to their brilliant future.

He was also very happy to be affirmed at that time, so he secretly made a grand wish to enter the court as an official in the future, to be a useful person, in addition to Chen Huanxin, and to contribute his own strength to the growth of Ye Guo.

But who would have thought that after returning home, his father told him that his life could not go according to his wishes.

Because he was born in the Zhang family, he naturally wants to become the future heir of the Zhang family, and he has the responsibility to take on everything for the Zhang family for his father in the future.

His father's words shattered Zhang Qinan's naïve fantasies and longings.

He can't be an official, he can only be a businessman.

The status of a businessman and an official was very different, and his fate was predestined from the moment he was born, and he ...... There is no courage to break the shackles of fate.

Although he has grown up and followed the life trajectory of his ancestors to become a businessman, deep down he still retains the ideals of his childhood, to become a useful person and do something for the country.

It's just that there is only a limit to what he can do for so many years, that is, when disasters occur in various places, he goes to give away some money and materials, but it is not much changed by what the general's wife has done fundamentally.

Can a woman be an official?

Before, he would have said, impossible.

But now he saw that nothing was impossible.

And what about the merchants?

What about the descendants of merchants?

Seeing that he was speechless, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Zheng Quqi called him twice and said, "Boss Zhang, Zhang Shaodong, as far as our relationship is concerned, I won't beat around the bush with you, do you have money?" ”

Zhang Qinan was stunned: "Money? How much does Madame cost? You may not know it, but you don't have a lot of money today. ”

She waved her hand: "No, no, no, my money is really useless, let's put it this way, in order to prevent floods and control floods, I want to build a water conservancy hub, you may not understand, simply put, it is different types of hydraulic buildings built in suitable areas of rivers or channels, so even if I take out all my money, it is a drop in the bucket." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Qinan understood: "The general's wife is for the Cangling flood?" ”

Zheng Quqi nodded: "That's right, the Cangling flood is not a simple construction of a weir can solve the problem, it needs to be divided into rivers to deal with it, all in all, the imperial court is not able to come up with money, but if it is not governed, next year, the year after next, its scope of disaster will continue to expand, and the cultivated land and the city and county capital will only get bigger and bigger." ”

She briefly explained why she wanted money.

Zhang Qinan's face was silent for a moment, and he said honestly: "Although Qi Nan doesn't know how much money it costs, but Mrs. General, the Zhang family alone is afraid that it will not be able to fill this hole." ”

Zheng Quqi hurriedly said: "You don't need to take out all the project money at once, according to my estimate, the total project will take at least several years to complete, we can repair it piece by piece, and the money can be made up slowly." ”

"In fact, this move is beneficial to the country and the people, has my wife ever thought of launching a private fundraiser?" He proposed.

"I've thought about it, but I haven't done it, and I don't know how to start, the most important thing is that I am the only one who insists on it at the moment, and they all think that there is no need to work so hard and waste money."

If the disaster money is raised in her own name, the appeal is very weak, but if it is carried out in the name of the imperial court, the process is very complicated.

Zhang Qinan understood her rarity, so he said, "How much does that lady need?" ”

Zheng Quqi approached him and compared an astronomical number.

Zhang Qinan was really frightened, he was embarrassed: "Qi Nan really can't take out so much money for a while, but let me go back and make up for it and think of a way." ”

"Don't worry, I will take care of the money you borrowed, and you will pay it back to you in full in the future." Zheng Quqi assured him.

Zhang Qinan apologized: "Such a large sum of money belongs to the entire Zhang family, Qi Nan really didn't dare to generously say that the general's wife didn't have to pay it back, but this Qi Nan would never dare to accept it, the general's wife has great righteousness and cares about the people of the world. ”

He clenched his fists.

Zheng Quqi was helped, how could he still accept his salute, and hurriedly helped people up.

"Don't think of me as a saint, I also have my own selfishness, first of all, this money, I think I can earn it back in the future, so I am willing to borrow it, in addition, I also want to turn what I have learned and will know into a real great existence, don't look at me as a woman, the ambition and desire in my heart is to lead the country to great rejuvenation, and then build landmark projects on it to complete the value of self-existence."

When she said this, her eyebrows fluttered, and her eyes sparkled vividly, and under her reflection, it seemed that the surrounding scenery seemed to be dimmed.

Zhang Qinan said with a smile: "Actually, the first time I saw the general's wife, I had this feeling, in your eyes, there is a future, there are thousands of achievements, there is a wonderful self, and I can't even think of the vast world." ”

——

The matter of raising money was handed over to Zhang Qinan to find a way for the time being, and after he had accurate news, she could report and continue to fight for the construction of the water conservancy project in Cangling County.

After she came back, she was busy, and it was only after a day that she learned of a major event-Yuan Xingzhou had set out on an expedition.

He led the soldiers and horses to Xiatian, wanting to recapture the grain production base of Ye State, he took away the Xuanjia Army and the Suzaku Army of the Four Elephant Army, and there were private rumors in the military department, claiming that the general's wife was selfless and willing to lend his private army to His Royal Highness the Prince to regain the lost territory.

And Zheng Quqi, who didn't know anything at all, and even just knew that he had been "stolen", his face turned black all of a sudden.

Do you need any proof?

Even Yu Wensheng's private army can be mobilized at will, and even without military talismans, what bullshit evidence is needed to prove that Yuan Xingzhou's guy is her "dead" husband - Yu Wensheng?

What is hateful is that Wei Yao, Wang Zebang and Fu Rong all went with the army, and now she can't find anyone who is unlucky.

At the same time, the imperial court for King Ye's funeral everything is simple, how simple is it, according to the order of His Royal Highness the prince, go directly to the process, but omit all the cost links, and even Zheng Quqi has not had a chance to participate, it has already ended.

However, before Yuan Xingzhou set out on the expedition, he had convened the ministers to announce the relevant crimes of Ye Hou, and gave the corresponding evidence of the crime, and finally directly executed him, in order to save trouble, he was buried in the same cave with King Ye.

At first glance, Zheng Quqi only felt that Yuan Xingzhou was both yin and bad, and put two couples who were disgusted with each other and turned against each other together, clearly hoping that they would not be safe even if they went underground.

As for the children of Empress Ye, he had a rare kindness and did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but was demoted to a commoner, and finally sent to the borderland, and was never allowed to return to Beijing.

There is also the matter of the new king's accession to the throne, and all the ministers are ready to welcome Yuan Xingzhou to the throne, but he only claims that he still needs to wait until he returns from Shimodia.

But although he does not have the name of King Ye, he has already controlled the real power of the king, and the court has been cleaned up after a bloodbath, and it is basically all his people inside and out, and his various plans and plans in private over the years are vividly reflected at this moment.

In the past few days, too many things have happened in the DPRK and China, and what Zheng Quqi knows is known to everyone, as for some things that are secretly surging and changing, she is a marginal official, and she does not participate in major national affairs and central affairs, so she is not even qualified to listen to the excitement.

Tired back to the general's mansion, the mourning hall has been removed, the house seems to have been rearranged, the previous dull and cold arrangement, into a vibrant sense of brightness, she saw the courtyard planted pink and white flowers and trees, falling cherry blossoms, the beauty of early summer is fully revealed.

Chang Yue came out to greet him as before, and the two of them had a few words, but he kept his head down, not daring to look at her, Zheng Quqi felt strange, so he asked, "Is there something going on at home lately?" ”

"Not really." Chang Yue hurriedly replied.

Didn't you?

"Do you have something to hide from me?" She guessed again.

Chang Yue hesitated again and again, but still asked with a cheeky old face: "Madam, why do the people from your mother's family stay in the Liu family all the time?" ”

He asked a sudden question, and Zheng Quqi was speechless for a while.

"Is there something wrong with the old slave that reassures Madame, or is Madame never going to the General's Mansion as her home?" Although Butler Chang has a heart as hard as steel, he also feels hurt at the moment.

When he asked like this, Zheng Quqi didn't know how to answer for a while.

The two of them walked on the corridor, and the servants in the house were far behind, knowing the etiquette and not daring to approach.

"Steward Chang, when I didn't completely discuss the matter with your general, I didn't want my family to worry, because I didn't tell my family the truth. You may also know something, I was in a hurry when I married him, and then I was in a mess, but I don't want to live like this in the future. ”

He knew that Steward Chang really treated her as a lady, and the changed arrangement of this house, the well-trained personal servants, and his dedicated service and care all made her understand the old butler's intentions, and she was willing to treat him sincerely.

Knowing that there is a big knot between Madame and their general, Chang Yue also understands the matter of feelings, outsiders can't help much, he can only do his best to let Madame know more about the general.

"Madame, can you listen to the old slave tell you some old stories?"

Probably guessed that he should have wanted to say something about Yu Wensheng, Zheng Quqi was silent for a while, and finally lost to his desire to hear it.

"Okay, you can say it."

For a while, he didn't know where to start, and after recalling for a while, he sighed and said: "The general is an old slave who grew up in his childhood, before he was five years old, people were like a blank piece of paper, blank, he could neither speak nor write, he didn't understand all the feelings of a normal person, and he didn't even have any emotions in his eyes.
