After Mrs. Cao woke up, the matter between Cao Shu and Qiu Shan had already been decided.

Old Mrs. Cao naturally wants to make trouble again. Mu Jiaojiao let her make a fuss enough before sending someone to say a word to her. Just this sentence made her honest.

In fact, her words are very simple, only a dozen words are straightforward and simple - if your old man wants to go down to accompany the Cao family of more than 100 people, we will help you.

Originally, according to the records of the imperial court, Mrs. Cao had already died. So now, even if she dies again, no one will say anything. Even if Mu Jiaojiao killed her in public, no one would stand up and speak for her!

As for Cao Shu, she has clearly been brainwashed by Mu Jiaojiao now, and now she wants to die or live for the man in Qiu Shan, how can she speak for her, her great-grandmother?

Mrs. Cao looks splashy on the surface, but she is actually afraid of death. So as soon as she heard Mu Jiaojiao's words, she immediately coaxed.

That's it!

Everything was agreed, Qiu Shan got up and went to Chang'an, intending to inform the elders of the family about this, and then the elders came forward to invite a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.

This family affair was brokered by Mu Jiaojiao, and presumably the elders in the family would not object.

A few days after Qiu Shan left, Chen Junbi, the magistrate of Hailing County, came again.

After the plague, he was honest for a few more days. When he appeared in front of Cui Pu again this time, he was even more flattering, and the flattery in his eyes was about to fly out!

Cui Pu was very disgusted with this person in his heart.

If this person's actions only annoyed him when he first came here, then he really felt sick that time.

But that time, he took Dai Ziang as a shield, and cried so much that he snot and tears, and put on a posture of admitting his mistake, and Cui Pu couldn't punish him. But he is also the prefect of Yangzhou, and it is not easy to deal with a small prefect of the next county?

Just like now, he just got a little stuck in the disaster relief money that went to Hailing County, didn't this person take the initiative to post it like a pug?

"Governor Cui, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are getting more and more energetic! What secret recipe do you have? I wonder if you can share it with Xiaguan? Xiaguan has been busy with the post-disaster reconstruction of Hailing County these days, and the people who are running around in the town are getting much older!" As soon as he saw Cui Pu, he began to pat himself enthusiastically again.

These words may sound quite vulgar. But as the saying goes, you don't wear a thousand sycophants. He said a few simple words, not only praised Cui Pu, but also praised Mu Jiaojiao's medical skills by the way, and finally emphasized his hard work in Hailing County these days. A few seemingly unintentional words reveal so much information, but it is not something that ordinary people can say!

If it weren't for Dai Ziang's incident, Cui Pu might still be in the mood to see him selling ugliness in front of him. But now, he is not in the mood to see this person jumping up and down at all.

"Honestly, what are you here for?" he coldly interrupted his deliberate flattery.

Chen Junbi knew that he was still angry with himself, so he honestly said: "Xiaguan came here today to ask the prefect to allocate more disaster relief funds to Hailing County! You only allocated 10,000 yuan a few days ago, which is not enough at all!"

"Isn't it enough? But isn't your Hailing County under the protection of the thousands of elite soldiers under Dai Guan's command, and the damage is very small? According to the information you sent at the beginning, this is more than 10,000 yuan!" Cui Pu sneered.

Chen Junbi secretly complained in his heart.

At the beginning, he and Dai Ziang teamed up to trap Cui Pu, originally thinking of such a thing as breaking the embankment, even if someone with deep experience in the Ministry of Industry started to do it, it would take at least a month or two to toss. And once there is a big sun after the disaster, then things will be even worse, he Cui Pu has a big head!

And as long as he doesn't handle things quickly and well, Chang'an can talk about this. There is no way, who told you that Cui Pu is now the prefect of Yangzhou? Even if the previous prefects were responsible for the failure to supervise the dam, you, the incumbent, must be the one who has been hit the hardest.

However, Cui Pu borrowed a thousand elite soldiers from Wang Tingshi, and he got things done so quickly! Mu Jiaojiao ran to help him again, and the couple made another great achievement!

If Cui Pu organized people to fight the flood, then what Mu Jiaojiao did was really worthy of thumbs up.

But these two people are good, then it is not good for those of them who secretly did bad things to obstruct them before!

There is no way, in order to get away with it, they can only desperately advocate the results of their efforts. The dams are well guarded, the population is barely damaged, the food damage in the prefecture is not too severe, and so on.

Before, Cui Pu also asked the magistrates below to make a list and report the losses in the county.

People in other places are naturally desperately crying poor. He wanted to cry too, but did he dare? He had already spoken so much before!

The list handed in in the end was naturally whitewashed and whitewashed. Obviously there is fifty percent of the damage, but he only dares to write one percent. The consequence of this is that the disaster relief funds distributed by Hailing County are very small, and it is not enough for him to call people to buy bricks!

And Cui Pu was the magistrate of Hailing County before he became the prefect of Yangzhou, and he knew Hailing County's financial revenue well. As expected, at the end of the year, this person is afraid that he will have to pay the same taxes as in previous years! No way, who said that Hailing County is the least affected place in Yangzhou Prefecture?

Facing the 10,000 pieces delivered to his hand, Chen Junbi wanted to cry without tears.

As a matter of fact, the disaster in Hailing County was not light! Several dams were damaged, thousands of acres of fertile land were flooded, and hundreds of households had no fixed homes. These are all things that cost money to rebuild!

But he can't say this kind of thing to Cui Pu.

He could only smile and say, "That's right." However, Hailing County is a large place and has a large population. It seems that the damage suffered everywhere is not serious, but when taken together, it is actually quite a lot! In particular, according to your instructions, the dikes everywhere must be closely monitored, and if they are not usable, they must be rebuilt as soon as possible, and all of this will cost money! But now the lower officials only have 10,000 yuan in their hands......

"Hey, there is a shortage of money in the government now!"

Cui Pu immediately sighed and sighed: "Last time, when this government summoned your magistrates to come over to discuss the post-disaster reconstruction, you also heard about the situation in other counties. In particular, Jingjiang County has almost been ruined by half! This time, the imperial court has allocated 1 million yuan to do things for us, and the government has carefully calculated that it is really not enough. Since your Hailing County is the least affected, and Hailing County is also one of the richest counties in Yangzhou Prefecture. You should bear with it first, and when the grain harvest at the end of the year comes, won't you have any money to spare?

Ahhh

Chen Junbi wanted to jump up and scream!

This kid cheated him again! And it was even more tricky than he thought!

What does it mean to collect a few percent less taxes from Hailing County? Obviously, after the disaster, the imperial court has issued an order to reduce or reduce taxes in various parts of Yangzhou Prefecture, and Hailing County is naturally among them. But looking at Cui Pu's meaning, he is now taking Hailing County out alone!

This kid is going to collect taxes and be responsible for all the costs of rebuilding himself!

Where did he get all this money?

Chen Junbi has the heart to cry to death. I knew that Cui Pu was so cautious, but his luck was so good, he would not choose to offend him at that time!

If this matter is really settled, then the sins on his body will definitely be even deeper, and the people of Hailing County will hate him to death!

"Prefect, 10,000 guan is really too little! With this amount of money, the lower officials can't even build a new embankment. He said with a sad face.

Of course, Cui Pu knows less. However, now that the distribution of money is in the hands of Lao Tzu, what can you do even if you are not satisfied?

He smiled proudly: "Isn't there still an envoy Dai Observer? You have such a good relationship, since he has responded to your requests before." Now, if you ask him to lend you a few more days, won't the new levee be built? All you have to pay is the food for the soldiers these days. By the way, didn't you listen to Dai observe the fact that the meals you prepared for those soldiers during the flood fight were extremely rich, and they must have been willing to help you. ”

Chen Junbi was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Borrowing troops to build a dam for the county is something that Cui Pu, a madman, can come up with! But he doesn't dare to do it, and Dai Ziang will definitely not agree!

A good soldier should be at the forefront of defending the homeland and the country. In such a fight against calamity, they can come and help temporarily. But if the follow-up is concerned, it should be the county magistrate to organize the people to do it. Let them do those manual work of moving bricks and carrying water, it is an insult to these elite soldiers, and it is also a humiliation to Dai Ziang!

As long as he dared to make such a request, Dai Ziang would be able to draw his sword and kill him on the spot!

He's afraid of death!

"Governor Cui, please, Xiaguan is sincerely begging you for the people of Hailing County this time! You don't want to watch the people of Hailing County suffer, right?" he could only change direction.

Is this to force him with his feelings for Hailing County?

Cui Pu's eyes darkened.

Admittedly, he has a special affection for the places he has brought with him. This is true in Tianchang County, and the same is true in Hailing County. No matter where he goes in the future, he always hopes that these two places will get better and better, and the people's lives will become richer and richer.

However, that doesn't prevent him from using the people of that place against the bastard in front of him!

"Are the people of Hailing County suffering? Why doesn't this government know!" Cui Pu immediately sank his face, "Chen Zhixian, you quickly explain to this government, what is going on? Is it that you have not managed well in the past two days, and there has been some major accident in Yurang County?"

Chen Junbi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

He was obviously talking about that incident, but Cui Pu forced him to come up with another big thing, and he was labeled as a poor manager from the beginning!

As long as he dares to nod, it is an admission of his mistake, and Cui Pu can seize the opportunity to teach him a lesson. And if he shakes his head......

Chen Junbi closed his eyes in pain. "Governor Cui, you have thought about it, and there is no major event happening. ”

For now, he can only choose to shake his head!

"Oh, then the house is relieved. Cui Pu hurriedly patted his chest, looking relieved.

There was a gleam in his eyes - yes, he was so narrow-minded and eager to repay him!
