Chapter 751: Say Something Human
Chu Nanyi looked at Mo Lingan: "Master Chen went to inspect the public sentiment?"
"Yes." Mo Lingan nodded slowly, "He is on the right path in his official career. It's only thanks to His Majesty's tolerance and ability to recognize people that he was not allowed to be punished along with the Wei Prince's family. There is a good official in the court who serves the country and the people.”
Chu Nanyi pondered: "There is currently no one in Mianzhou who can take charge of the family. After Mr. Chen returns to Beijing to report on his duties, he may be assigned to practice for a few years."
Zong Yushang listened to them in silence. Hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but be surprised: "He is so young and transferred to Mianzhou alone. Can he take on the entire Mianzhou responsibility?"
During this time, he had gotten to know Xuanyuan Chen a little bit. He inspected the disaster situation and always had the people's livelihood in mind. He was indeed a good official who rarely cared about the people.
But Xuanyuan Chen is indeed too young - of course youth is not the most important factor. After all, Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao are not very young, but they are both in high positions and hold great power.
Xuanyuan Chen's temperament is a little too soft, and he has a heart for the people, but he lacks courage. In addition to the several officials and profiteer business owners who have been arrested, there are more than 100,000 people in Mianzhou City. The family is also not easy to deal with, and it is not easy to deal with it.
There are also local bullies, but they have become more peaceful during this period, and there are still some unruly people even among the most simple people.
With Xuanyuan Chen's temperament, it might be a great test for him to be transferred to Mianzhou for training.
"We are just guessing." Chu Nanyi said calmly, "As for how to arrange the follow-up matters and who will take over the position of Mianzhou Magistrate, it still depends on the wishes of the Prince Regent and Her Majesty the Queen."
Zong Yushang nodded and said no more.
Chu Nanyi and Mo Ling'an quickly got up and summoned their nearby men, intending to make business arrangements before Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao settled the accounts.
Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao stayed in the room all day. As for whether they were sleeping or doing something else, outsiders didn't see it. They only knew that when the two came out of the room in the evening, they were both in high spirits. His expression exuded the luster of a well-fed man.
"The two of you seem to be very happy and have been comforted both physically and mentally. Isn't it time to appease the people of Mianzhou?" Chu Nanyi was busy outside for a day, and when he came back, he saw the two of them beaming with joy, and he couldn't help but smile. Acid, "I heard Mr. Chen say that Mr. Xie has been getting along very well with Young Master Zong these two days -"
"Chu Nanyi, are you boring?" Xie Jin frowned and glared at him, "Xuanyuan Chen is not a scheming and treacherous person like you. You'd better not teach him a bad lesson."
Unlike Chu Nanyi and Mo Ling'an who were worried about the world being in chaos, and even different from Zong Yushang who intentionally or unintentionally stirred up dissension, Xuanyuan Chen took the initiative to stay away from Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin in the past two days, and did not want to get involved in their affairs at all. This point still makes Xie Jin quite satisfied, and he feels more and more that Ah Chen's child is more reliable, much better than the two bad friends.
Xuanyuan Yao didn't say anything. It could be seen that Xie Jin had coaxed this person into submission, so they all changed the subject wisely and started talking about business.
After all, whether it's jealousy or settling scores, it's just a little fun outside of the business, and it can't be delayed for too long - after getting rid of that unhappy mood, you have to return to the business soon.
Several of the officials and grain merchants who were raided had already become a team in Mianzhou. The profiteers colluded to line their own pockets. I don't know how much money they had embezzled over the years, fattening their appetites like bottomless pits.
If we go back a few years ago, even the money spent on water control was pocketed by these corrupt officials. The grains in the granaries that were seized now can be used to compensate the local people-this saves the national treasury from continuing to allocate funds. With the grain payment, the people also have enough food to survive.
In the next few days, Xie Jin arranged for reliable people to distribute the disaster relief funds to the people according to the newly compiled list, and after formulating a sufficiently detailed follow-up plan, he only needed to arrange for trustworthy subordinates to take charge of things here. . Now that Yu Zhizhou and his officials have all been arrested and sentenced, it is necessary to re-elect officials responsible for flood control and house repairs in the shortest possible time. A group of dragons cannot be leaderless. No matter how powerful the flood control expert is, there should be someone to shoulder his responsibility. Live responsibility.
Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao worked separately. Chu Nanyi and Mo Lingan also mobilized workers who could build houses from neighboring cities that were not affected by the disaster. Xuanyuan Chen was directly arranged to follow Xie Jin for the past two days and watch him make decisions. Another busy seven or eight days have passed.
All the tents were set up, and every household affected by the disaster had a place to stay. Food was distributed to the people, and workers were arranged. All the aftermath matters were almost handled. Xuanyuan Yao ordered the Black Yao Army to take care of everything. All the officials and profiteers who were guilty were taken into custody and prepared to return to the imperial capital.
"Everyone in the Zong family's house has taken care of it?" Zong Yushang turned to look at Xuanyuan Yao, "Should we arrange some soldiers to guard it?"
Xuanyuan Yao didn't want to pay attention to this person at all. Hearing this, he just said lightly: "I have my own sense of propriety in doing things and don't need to be reminded by others."
Chu Nanyi heard it. The smell of gunpowder in Xuanyuan Yao's words was still very strong, and he was sure that the journey back to the imperial capital would never be boring. This boy from the sect was too courageous to dare to provoke a tiger. It was unbelievable. Life or death.
"You don't need to worry about the Zong family's house." Xie Jin said calmly, "If you go to the imperial capital this time, if you are lucky enough to come back to Mianzhou, you will naturally be in charge of the Zong family. If you can't come back, there is no point in worrying about it."
Zong Yushang was silent for a moment, then smiled extremely meekly and said, "Master Xie is right."
Xuanyuan Yao looked at him expressionlessly and looked away calmly.
"Thank you, Master Xie, and Prince Yao for escorting the prisoners in front, while I and Ling'an stay behind." Chu Nanyi suggested, "Young Master Zong and Young Master Chen come with us."
Xie Jin's lips curled up, feeling that Chu Nanyi finally said something human and did something human.
"Okay." He said, "Me and Yaoyao——"
"I want to go with Mr. Xie." Zong Yushang said, "I still have many plans to discuss with Mr. Xie."
Chu Nanyi smiled kindly and said, "It's okay to discuss it with me."
Zong Yushang glanced at him: "Is Mr. Chu married?"
"Already have a wife."
"Then I'm not interested in you."
Chu Nanyi: "..."
"I always thought that Master Zong was just putting on a show." Mo Lingan frowned, and the eyes on his face were thoughtful, "Master Zong won't make the lie come true, right?"
Not really.
Zong Yushang has never seen the relationship between Duanxiu lovers, and it seems interesting to provoke others to be jealous.
There is so much joy.
Otherwise, how boring would it be for a few grown men to discuss business together?
"If Young Master Zong is really interested in men, I will be happy to help you." Xie Jin said calmly, "Do you remember what I told you before? I can let you go to the brothel to pick up guests, so that you can meet all kinds of dignitaries every day , maybe you can actually come across one you like.”
Zong Yushang was silent for a moment: "What if I like you like this?"
"Oh?" Xie Jin raised his hand and hooked Xuanyuan Yao's neck, "If you are really interested in me, please ask my husband if he agrees, or are you sure you have enough skills to survive under the Obsidian Army?"
The Obsidian Army officers on standby all looked up at the sky, expressionless as if they were saying, why did their general find such a wife?
Is this really the ninth master of the Xie family who is fearless, unruly, and arrogant?
It feels very shameless.
