On the way back to Jiangdu, Tao Qiqi was always worried that her father would disown her and not believe that she was his daughter.
I'm worried that my grandparents favor sons over daughters and don't like my granddaughter.
Although the grandparents only gave birth to one daughter, and they loved her mother very much, it did not mean that they liked their grandson. So Tao Qiqi would naturally be worried.
But now all the worries and concerns have disappeared and no longer exist.
Putting on the new clothes made by her grandmother, Tao Qiqi came out of the room, and then saw Xiaoyu also coming out of the room wearing the clothes made by her grandmother.
Looking at the sisters' outfits, Tao Qiqi stretched out her hand to signal Xiaoyu to come over and hold hands with her.
Xiaoyu trotted up to Tao Qiqi with a happy face, then took Tao Qiqi's hand, and the two of them walked to the dining room.
When we arrived at the dining room, the servants had just heated up the food and brought it out.
Then the family happily had dinner and went back to their room to sleep.
Tao Qiqi didn't get a good rest during the past few days in the mountains. Now that she's back, she finally had a good night's sleep.
But she couldn't return to Jiangdu at the moment, so she simply waited in Changdao County for news from Nangong Ye.
Let's see if there is any way to drain the water.
But after wandering around Jinxiang County for a few times, Tao Qiqi gave up the idea of digging ditches for drainage.
As Fu Shi said, if this water is drained out, the downstream areas will definitely suffer.
By then Jinxiang County cannot be rescued, and Anxiang County will have to be rescued.
Jinxiang County is now flooded. Even if the water is drained away, the houses in the villages will probably be damaged and uninhabitable.
Rather than spending a lot of time draining water and rebuilding each village, it would be better to relocate the villages.
And it would be great if the original Jinxiang County became a lake.
After the relocation of the villages is completed, we will build a fence around this place. With such a big lake here, we don't have to worry about drought in the future.
Of course, Anxiang County did not sit idly by and watch what happened in Jinxiang County.
Their magistrate An is also a good official.
After learning that Jinxiang County was flooded, I brought people over to see the situation in order to know the situation in time so that they could be prepared downstream.
But after seeing it, Magistrate An also knew that it was not suitable for drainage and opposed queuing.
In order to avoid trouble within his jurisdiction, the magistrate of An County came here that day with the thoughts of the entire Anxiang County.
Tao Qiqi happened to come back from the flooded Jinxiang County and met Magistrate An at the Changdao County Government Office.
"How many of Miss Tao's people are there?" Magistrate An stepped forward and asked, looking at the guards who were dressed differently from the Yamen servants.
Tao Qiqi heard someone looking for her, so she turned around and saw a man who looked to be in his mid-twenties.
She was about to speak when Magistrate An saw her turn around but looked at her first and asked: "Is the girl's surname Tao?"
Tao Qiqi: "Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate An naturally realized that he had guessed correctly, so he saluted Tao Qiqi and replied:
"The lower official is the county magistrate of Anxiang County, Anji. I heard about the flooding in Jinxiang County. Miss Tao is also here to deal with the matter, so she came to see everyone with our Anxiang County feelings."
Tao Qiqi: "It turns out it's Magistrate An. Since you're here, come in with me. Let's discuss it together and see if there is any way to solve the current problems in Jinxiang County."
"Yes." Anji agreed and followed Tao Qiqi into the county government office.
As soon as Tao Qiqi entered the county government office, Shan Qing appeared at the gate of the county government office.
"Girl." Shan Qing quickly called out to Tao Qiqi.
Because Tao Qiqi has changed back to daughter's clothes since her grandmother gave her new clothes.
And now everyone knows that she is from a girl's family, so there is no need for her to travel disguised as a man.
Tao Qiqi heard Shan Qing's voice and quickly turned around.
Then she saw Dan Qing jump off the horse and run towards her.
Before Shan Qing could say anything, Tao Qiqi asked anxiously: "How is it? Is there a reply?"
Shan Qing looked at Anji next to her.
Anji looked at Shan Qing's eyes and immediately knew what to do. So she said to Tao Qiqi: "If Miss Tao has something to do, I'll go find Magistrate Qi first."
"Okay." Tao Qiqi agreed, and then after An Ji left, Shan Qing took out a letter and a thick cloth bag from her arms and said:
"Master Nangong wrote a reply to the girl immediately after receiving the letter from the girl. At present, because there are still many things to deal with in Yongdu, Master Nangong trusts the girl the most, so he let the girl handle the matters here."
"The specific information about Mr. Nangong is written in this letter. Mr. Nangong asked me to deliver this package to you, girl."
"Okay." Tao Qiqi took the letter and began to read it.
After reading the letter, she put it in her pocket before taking the package from Shan Qing's hand.
This is the one hundred thousand taels of silver note prepared by Nangong Ye.
After Nangong Ye returned to Yongdu, he later learned that the previous emperor had emptied more than half of the treasury for the so-called expansion of the country.
Just to buy food from neighboring countries.
But after the money was taken away, neither the people nor the food came back.
Nowadays, disasters are continuing in the north and south, and more than one Jinxiang county needs to be rescued. Therefore, for the time being, only one hundred thousand taels can be given to Tao Qiqi.
Of course, the materials that Xiao Hei collected at the beginning will not affect the country, so Tao Qiqi naturally does not need to feel guilty.
The worst thing about Nangong Ye is that she will find a way to make amends for him in the future.
After accepting the banknote, Tao Qiqi walked to the county government office.
Now she has 110,000 to nearly 120,000 yuan in banknotes, which is completely enough to help the people rebuild their homes.
If it's not enough later, it shouldn't be much different. If it doesn't work, she can just pay for it out of her own pocket.
Who told her that she still had a plug-in? She should spend tens of thousands of taels to help the common people.
When Tao Qiqi arrived at the waiting room of the county government office, Magistrate Qi smiled at Tao Qiqi and said, "Miss Tao, this is what Magistrate An just brought over. This is the sincere wish of Magistrate An and the entire Anxiang County."
.A total of three thousand taels. Two hundred taels were personally donated by Magistrate An, so we made up the whole."
Looking at the banknote handed over by the county magistrate, I saw another three thousand taels.
The start-up capital was over 120,000 taels in no time.
Tao Qiqi naturally refused to accept anyone who came, let alone being polite. She took the banknote and said to Magistrate An: "Then I would like to thank Magistrate An and all the folks in Anxiang County on behalf of the people of Jinxiang County."
Seeing that Tao Qiqi accepted the money, Magistrate An started to get directly to today's topic: "Miss Tao, I wonder what the higher-ups have decided on Jinxiang County now? Should we prepare to dig canals to divert the water or relocate it?"
After hearing Magistrate An's words, Tao Qiqi naturally understood the purpose of his trip.
Of course, now that the situation has been understood, there is no need for her to hide it.
So he slowly said: "Don't worry, Magistrate An, I have been checking the situation in Jinxiang County these two days. At present, we all know that the plan of digging canals and diversion is very risky. Therefore, the superiors decided to move Jinxiang County.
"
"It just so happens that the two county magistrates are here today. I would like to discuss the relocation plan with the two county magistrates."
