Qin Yining sighed helplessly and looked at Shi Fang: "Brother Shi, the road is muddy and sticky, and the car can't get in and out. Let's get out of the car."
Shi Fang had no objection, nodded and said, "Alright, it's not too far from that Zhuangzi, even on foot."
Xiaoxue and Dahan, who were sitting at the door of the car, went out to hold up their umbrellas first. Qin Yining jumped out of the carriage and sank into the mud with both feet.
Shi Fang didn't care if there was any mud on the ground, so he jumped out of the car and reached out to pick up the umbrella in Xiaoxue's hand.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Xiaoxue sneered and twisted it hard, only to hear a soft click, Shi Fang's arm was twisted abruptly, and the pain was so painful that he wanted to open his mouth and scream, but Dahan's eyes quickly covered his mouth.
Xiaoxue and Dahan carried Shifang's piglets into the woods.
Shi Fang had already realized that the situation was wrong, and frantically twisted and struggled, but in the hands of Xiaoxue and Dahan, his strength was not worth mentioning at all.
Seeing their retreating backs, Qin Yining turned around and closed his eyes.
When Jing Zhe saw Qin Yining like this, she knew that she still couldn't bear to kill people, so she couldn't help but persuade: "Princess, don't blame yourself too much, keeping this kind of person is a scourge, and I can't say that it will threaten the safety of you and the prince. Can't stay any longer."
Qin Yining nodded, "I know. It's just a little bit... Maybe I'm a woman's kindness."
"The princess is a soft-hearted person."
Unlike them, they have long been accustomed to desperately fighting for goods in the sea of swords and fire, and they don't care about life and death.
At this time, the carriage had returned to the main road, and Jing Zhe went to invite Qin Yining to get on the carriage.
Qin Yining nodded and returned to the car, took off the muddy boots, and put on the spare embroidered shoes in the car.
After a while, Xiaoxue and Dahan came back. Qin Yining knew that they would handle it properly, so she ordered to go back to the house without asking in detail.
On the way back, the drizzle that had lasted for two months suddenly turned into a heavy downpour.
The pea-sized raindrops smashed the roof of the car shed, and more rainwater flowed in through the gaps in the windows and doors. Qin Yining's robe corners and sleeves were all wet, not to mention Jing Zhe and the others, who were wearing mink clothes and bamboo hats outside the carriage, and they were soaked all over.
Back at the house, Qin Yining asked the kitchen to quickly prepare ginger soup, and everyone poured a big bowl.
Bingtang even prepared a medicinal bath, so Qin Yining quickly took a hot bath to avoid the cold.
When Pang Xiao entered the door, Qin Yining had just sat in front of the make-up bed and wiped his wet long hair.
Pang Xiao paused slightly, his heart was hot and his bones were crisp.
Such a beautiful woman is by his side all day long, sitting, lying, walking, frowning and smiling. He is as beautiful as a painting. He is sure that he will not be able to hold other people in his eyes in this life.
"Sister Yi." Pang Xiao took the soft handkerchief from Bingtang's hand and wiped Qin Yining's hair awkwardly.
Qin Yining smiled and said: "I have someone prepare hot water, and you will take a hot bath later, and I have a bowl of ginger soup for you, so you can eat it hot. The rain is suddenly fierce, and I don't know how long it will take. Stop." He turned around and took the handkerchief from his hand and wiped his hair by himself.
Sending Yunyun came the ginger soup, Pang Xiao took a sip and stuck out his tongue.
"It has been raining for two months, and the whole week has become swampy. If such a heavy rain falls for several days in a row, the houses in the low-lying areas will be submerged. I just ordered someone to go out to investigate. The situation outside."
Qin Yining nodded worriedly, "I'm also very worried. Not to mention the distance, Huichuan County is not very high, and there should be a lot of water accumulated where the imperial mausoleum started."
"Yeah, it's almost accumulating into a small lake. Every day there are people scouring out water, but the speed of scouring can't match the speed of accumulating water, so we can only find another way to divert the water. I think the imperial mausoleum is going to start construction. , I'm afraid it depends on when God allows it."
Qin Yining sighed helplessly.
"The mausoleum of the saint is too rough to build, and I don't know if I have asked Qin Tianjian to calculate it."
Pang Xiao drank the rest of the ginger soup in one go, put the empty bowl on the table, poured a glass of water to rinse his mouth, and almost sprayed the water out after hearing Qin Yining say this.
"Jin Tianjian is afraid that he doesn't dare to calculate it properly? The sage is quite superstitious about this. If he calculates something wrong, won't he be angry?"
Qin Yining also thought about it. The things that Tianjizi calculated back then made Li Qitian fear Pang Xiao to this day. If Qin Tianjian said a bad word, Li Qitian would kill the entire Qintian Supervisor.
After all, Li Qitian was building the imperial mausoleum at the right time. This project could not be completed in three or five years. Maybe it would not be completed until Li Qitian died, not to mention several delays.
The world cares most about whether they can be safe after death, and Li Qitian, as an emperor, cares even more.
"However, the heavy rain has given Lu Heng a certain amount of time. I think he should have sent someone to the stone factory to investigate at this time."
"Yes. Although my people haven't found out whether he has probed, but based on his temperament, he should have checked it out. It's just that he can't do it because of my presence. A heavy rain has delayed the start of construction, and he can just take the opportunity. To find ways to."
Qin Yining shook his head, "It's better for us to be in the north. The former shopkeeper Zhong Da wrote a letter saying that there has been a huge flood in the old capital. How many people have been forced to leave their homes. It was a drought in the past, and now it is a flood. It's not fair, it's always the common people who suffer."
Qin Yining's long hair was scattered behind her, her eyebrows were lightly worried, her eyes were worried, and her appearance was delicate and soft.
Pang Xiao couldn't help but took her into his arms distressedly, and sighed: "I, like you, are worried about those people. It's okay, we still have some money on hand, why don't I order people to go to the south for disaster relief? It's okay to worry about the sage's fear. , we secretly ordered people to act. This way we can feel more at ease, do you think?"
Hearing Pang Xiao's words, Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, and then a gentle warmth melted into his heart.
Pang Xiao's money is used to support soldiers. Whether his fist is hard or not is directly related to the outcome and life and death between him and Li Qitian, but he is willing to give priority to the people when natural and man-made disasters strike.
Although this man is ambitious, he is not one who only thinks about himself.
She hadn't heard of Li Qitian's actions under the natural disaster, but her man was not famous, and even considered doing practical things for the common people in anonymity.
Qin Yining thought, this is the charm of Pang Xiao's personality, right? It is no wonder that there is always a lack of loyal and willing followers around him.
"Okay, of course it's good. I still have some money in my hand, and I think Shopkeeper Zhong Da will agree with me to help the victims. I have fields, manors and factories in the south, or I'll let Shopkeeper Zhong Da mobilize those people. Do you want to act?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"As for the money, I don't need yours for the time being. I still have enough money to cover it for a while. If it's not enough, I'll tell you."
Pang Xiao knew that Qin Yining was thinking about his men and horses, and nodded his head moved, "Okay. You can just tell me then. Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie will also agree with us to save people."
Qin Yining nodded heavily.
While Pang Xiao was going to take a bath, Qin Yining told Jing Zhe to send a letter to shopkeeper Zhong Da, asking him to come for an interview.
The torrential rain lasted all day, and the water on the site where the imperial mausoleum was first built has accumulated into a lake.
The people are worried, and everyone is begging in their hearts.
Xu Shitian heard everyone's voice, and on the third day, the torrential rain finally turned into a fine light rain.
Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief.
Shopkeeper Zhong Da and Qin Yining were talking in the flower hall.
"The princess suggested to reclaim the terraced fields, and our people have already started to do it. Although it is difficult, the effect is much better than that in the low-lying swampy land. The effect of this autumn harvest can be foreseen."
Qin Yining nodded with a smile, "Thanks to Shopkeeper Zhong Da, I only know how to come up with ideas, but it takes a lot of hard work to actually implement them. These are all thanks to Shopkeeper Zhong Da."
Shopkeeper Zhong Da smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing. If I didn't have the princess's instructions, I wouldn't know what to do like a headless fly. Is the princess planning to give relief to the south this time?"
"Yeah." Qin Yining smiled, his eyes full of melancholy, "I really can't stand the disaster in the south. After all, it is our hometown. Dayan has been in constant military disasters over the years. It was a natural disaster. First it was a drought, then the earth dragon turned over, and now there is a flood. I really can’t see it. I have discussed with the prince, and we will try our best to let as many people survive as possible. Let’s start by giving relief to the common people, even if we can’t afford dry rice, thin porridge can feed people’s stomachs.”
Shopkeeper Zhong Da nodded heavily and gave a thumbs up, "The lord and the princess are Gao Yi. To be honest, this old man does things for the princess, and doesn't want anything else, just for this peace of mind. The princess never does anything that can't be saved. , I admire Princess Gao Yi, and I am willing to participate in it and contribute more."
Qin Yining said with a moving expression: "If there is no big shopkeeper Zhong to take charge of me, no matter how good I have, I still can't use it."
Master Zhong waved his hands shyly.
The two discussed it for a long time, and when everything was properly decided, the shopkeeper Zhong Da got up and said goodbye, "In this case, I will leave tomorrow and take our people to the south. I will contact the princess when there is news."
Qin Yi nodded, "Treasurer Zhong Da will take care of you all the way. If you have any difficulties, you must arrange someone to tell me immediately."
"Yes, don't worry, Princess."
Qin Yining personally sent the shopkeeper Zhong Da out of the second door.
Ji Yun held an umbrella for Qin Yining, and said with some worry: "The princess's money is not blown by the wind, and it may not be able to last for a long time. If your money is used up again, the court has not allocated relief money, then How to do?"
Qin Yining was actually worried. After all, the wealth she owned was important for disaster relief.
It's just a drop in the bucket.
"Now we can only take one step at a time."
Qin Yining and Ji Yun walked back along the veranda. At this moment, the old woman from the second door hurried in to report the letter.
"Princess, the lord ordered someone to come and spread the word, saying that an important noble person from the capital has arrived at the government office at this time. The lord asks you to change clothes and go with him to meet him."
