After walking out of Danmoxuan, Qi Chuchu was in a good mood, and he and Qianyu walked around the market again before preparing to return home.

It's just that when they passed by an alley, they were suddenly robbed of the food they bought by a few escapees who rushed out of it.

"Where did they come out of this, and they almost knocked down Childe!" Qian Yu helped Qi Chuchu to say angrily.

"I'm fine, Qianyu. They just grabbed the food. ”

Qi Chuchu felt a little strange, these people should not be beggars, even if there are beggars in the city, most of them are in those places at the city gate.

Is that a refugee? She stepped forward again to look more closely, and suddenly another team of officials came over, and they came forward and punched and kicked those people, trying to drive them out of the city.

There was a moment of chaos between the officials and the refugees, Qi Chuchu and Qianyu were almost injured by mistake, but it was Mu Chenduan and Zhan Yiming who appeared in time to pull Qi Chuchu's master and servant to a safe place.

"Why are you here? Did you get hurt? ”

When we met again after a few days, it was still like this, Qi Chuchu suddenly felt faceless, and hurriedly responded that it was okay.

Mu Chen looked at her dress and guessed that she should go out for business, so he asked Zhan Yiming to arrange for someone to send her and Qianyu back first.

"Wait a minute, what's going on with these officers and soldiers? Are there refugees in the city? Qi Chuchu asked.

Mu Chenduan sighed lightly and nodded, "There is a great drought in North China, and there is no harvest in the fields, although the government has relief and grain release, but the original levy and miscellaneous taxes have not been slowed down, which is why so many refugees have fled the famine." ”

"The refugees have all arrived in the Imperial City, how serious is that? It's ......, but why are they driving it away? ”

"Jia'er, it's chaotic on the street now, I'll talk to you about the rest when I go back, you go back to the house first."

Okay, Qi Chuchu didn't say anything more, and took Qianyu back to the house, but on the way, she felt that the so-called imperial city, the so-called princes and ministers, and the royal family were really ridiculous.

What they did was to drive the refugees into the city?

Even in the imperial city, no one cared about the drought, and the name of Qingfeng Gongzi swept the eastern capital under the arrangement of Qi Chuchu.

Now that I think about it, it's a bit ironic.

After returning to the mansion, Qi Chuchu had just changed his clothes, and ran to Mu Chenduan's study, and the little maid Ah Jun had been by her side to serve at any time.

"Ah Jun, is there a topographic map in the study? Show it to me. ”

"Yes, the minion will go and find it."

After responding, Ah Jun went to look through it, found out the topographic map and handed it to Qi Chuchu, and when Mu Chen came back, he didn't dare to hide it, and immediately told the prince.

Topographic map? What does Jia'er do when looking at topographic maps?

"Lord, are we going to do anything outside the city to help the refugees?"

"Zhan Yiming, you take that bronze order and go to Tiangang Tower to transfer some people to build a porridge shed outside the city, go now."

After the arrangement, Zhan Yiming left the palace, and Mu Chenduan went to Luanqi Pavilion.

When he entered, it was Qian Yu who noticed him first, but he made a gesture to silence him, and Qian Yu and the others naturally didn't dare to remind Qi Chuchu out of their voice.

"What does the princess mean by looking at the topographic map?"

"Of course it's to find a way to rescue the refugees, ......, you, when did you come?" Qi Chuchu realized that the voice was wrong, and raised his head and asked.

Mu Chen sat on the side, saying that he had just arrived, but other than that, he frowned deeply and did not say a word.

Seeing him like this, Qi Chuchu knew that he was worried about the affairs of the people, and she roughly saw some ways, she asked, "Do you want to know how to solve this drought and the refugees fleeing the famine?" ”

"Naturally, I want to ......, Jia'er, do you have a way?" Mu Chenduan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him in disbelief.

Qi Chuchu nodded, and pointed to the topographic map for Mu Chenduan, "The terrain of Dongye is high in the southeast and low in the northwest, but there are more hills in the south, there are many rivers in the south, and the flow is large, and the rivers in the north are scarce, and once the weather is dry, there will be no reserves of available water sources and reservoirs." ”

"Digging rivers from the southeast and diverting water to the north to build water conservancy projects is the fundamental solution to the drought; As for the workers of the project, they recruited those refugees and gave them work in lieu of relief. ”

"In this way, disaster relief and water conservancy can be combined into one, and it will save a lot of money." Mu Chen said, thinking about it in his heart.

The silver taels and grain distributed to the victims have been exploited layer by layer, and they are actually a drop in the bucket.

It's just that if it is a cash-for-work, then I am afraid that it will be ...... in construction

Mu Chen was thinking about this, and heard Qi Chuchu say, "But there is another point, the supervision and acceptance of the project must be personally watched by the craftsman, and supervision must be set up at all levels to prevent officials from mistreating workers and filling their pockets." ”

When these words fell, Mu Chenduan looked at Qi Chuchu with a lot of admiration and admiration, but he didn't know that Jia'er still had such talent.

"Mu Chenduan, are you listening to me?" Qi Chuchu looked at him suspiciously, and found Mu Chen looking at him in a daze.

She waved her hand in front of Mu Chen's eyes, but he immediately grabbed her wrist.

"Jia'er, can you write down your thoughts?"

Qi Chuchu blinked his eyes, since he had finished telling him about this method, he still had to write another copy?

"Qianyu, take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."

"Yes, Princess."
