Chapter 281 What Happened in the Border Area?

"Don't worry about that, sir. The Emperor has punished those people." Xu Qing said patting the old man's hand. He did not know how to explain to those villagers. He could not tell them it was the Prime Minister, the Empress's father, who embezzled the funds for the dam and only lost his position as punishment.Thinking that those villagers might lose hope after knowing the truth, he just said those words."Mr. Xu, is it true that the Emperor appointed you as the prefect of Jiandu?" A woman interrupted when the old man was about to ask something else.Xu Qing nodded at the villagers.After confirmation, all the villagers felt quite happy and said in the crowd, "We feel quite assured to have you as our prefect. The Emperor shows his great discernment in the choice of you.""That's right! Under the leadership of Prefect Xu, our life will be better and better."All the villagers were talking about this.

Chapter 282 Dongling Emperor Truly Planned Well

Xu Qing gave the letters back to Xiao Mu, "In this case, you go to the border right now. The border is next to Xiling. The reason why His Lordship asked you to go may have something to do with Xiling.""I hope not. Jiandu could not provide grains for the border due to the flood. If Xiling invades at this time, it will be difficult for the soldiers to resist for a long time." Xiao Mu sighed.Hearing that, Xu Qing nodded and said to Xiao Mu, "In this case, how about you hand the matters of the dam over to me and then set out for the border?""OK, Your Excellency. This way, please." Xiao Mu replied and walked to the table with documents on it together with Xu Qing.Xiao Mu took out the notebook which recorded the number of people and the money had spent for these days. "Your Excellency, here's the list of workers participating in the construction of the dam. The remaining money is in this box."He pointed to the box besid

"It's far away from the mansion of Marquis. I'm afraid Your Highness..." Zhou Ji frowned slightly after hearing it and then said to Suotu.Before he finished speaking, Suotu interrupted him. Then Suotu said to Zhou Ji impatiently, "It is what Her Highness meant. Do you dare to violate it?""Well." Zhou Ji glanced at An Qin behind Suotu and then nodded. He turned the carriage around and walked towards the mansion.After Zhou Ji left, Suotu walked to An Qin, "Your Highness, let's go."Then they walked in the direction of the mansion of Marquis.On the street, Lan Ruojing and Qiao Shu looked outside in an alley.At this moment, Si came over here."How is it?"

Chapter 284 It Is Better to Accept Deferentially.

Then Qiao Shu turned around and said to Suotu, "Go to hire a carriage. I'll take care of Concubine An. There is still some distance from the mansion of Marquis Shuo. I'm afraid that she is too weak now to walk such a long way there.""Your Highness..." Suotu was a little hesitant after hearing Qiao Shu's words. While Qiao Shu had said that she used to cure Marquis Shuo, Suotu wouldn't believe anyone whom she met for the first time. So she looked at An Qin and asked.An Qin nodded, "Hurry up.""Yes, Your Highness," Suotu nodded and walked to one side.After Suotu went away, An Qin asked Qiao Shu with a smile, "Miss Qiao, did you diagnose what happened to me just now?""Concubine An, don't worry too much. When I felt your pulse just now, I didn't find any big problem. The symptom appears only because you haven't been accustomed to the climate here yet as you just came to Jing City adding that you didn't have a good rest.

At this moment, General Cheng's body tightened. And he bit the stick in his mouth tightly.General Li turned his head to General Cheng. He saw a lot of sweat on General Cheng's forehead.At this time, General Li asked him, "Is that okay?"General Cheng nodded.Then, General Li continued to cut the rotten flesh on General Cheng's chest off.There was blood oozing out of General Cheng's mouth while biting the stick. And his forehead was full of sweat.Although there was only half a quarter of an hour, it must have been the longest period for General Cheng and General Li.After General Li cut off the last piece of rotten flesh, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"My Lord, you're right. We'll keep in mind what Marquis Shuo and Her Highness did for us," one in the crowd shouted.Hearing that, Xu Qing couldn't help smiling and he continued, "Sure, we should also express our gratitude to Master Liang Cheng. He has lived here to supervise the dam construction from the very beginning until it's all completed. So he's the one we should extend our most thanks to.""But where is he? I haven't seen him," someone asked.This question brought wrinkles to Xu Qing's brows. True, he didn't see Liang Cheng either so he looked around.Then he found Liang Cheng standing on the opposite slope and looking at the crowd.Seeing that, Xu Qing called Li Ming."My Lord, what can I do for you?" Li Ming cupped his hands and asked Xu Qing.The latter ordered, "You, bring Mr. Liang here."When he was speaking, Xu Qing looked in the direction where Liang Cheng stood.

Chapter 289 How to Price the Potatoes?

The manager explained with a smile, "Sir, Jiandu was plagued by the flood this year so not a single grain was reaped. I sold my previous stock to people from other towns who offered a high price before. Honestly, there is indeed not enough rice for you in my shop although it's the largest one in Suizhou.""How much do you have?" Xiao Mu asked.The manager reached out and made a gesture.Seeing that, Rui Yi standing behind couldn't help frowning and interpreted the gesture, "30 piculs."How would 30 piculs of rice be enough for tens of thousands of soldiers?But the manager shook his head and said, "No.""No? Then how much?" Rui Yi quickly asked.The manager answered, "Three piculs.""What? Three piculs? In such a big shop, there are only three piculs of grains? Why don't you directly close your shop to wind up your business?" Said Rui Yi who looked unconvinced after hearing the fi

Later, Su Tong smiled at the old woman and said, "I see. Thank you."Afterwards, he ran away.The old woman looked at his receding figure confusedly.Meanwhile, some buyers were asking Zheng Qiu about the potato price, which pushed him to turn to where Su Tong went away before.Thankfully, he saw Su Tong who was running back. Su Tong whispered to him, "Brother Zheng, I figured it out. 2 coins for 500 grams."Hearing the number, Zheng Qiu nodded to him and replied to the old woman who inquired, "3 coins for 1 kilogram.""3 coins for 1 kilogram?" The old woman thought she misheard him. She had bought potatoes before but those were never this cheap and big."Brother Zheng," Su Tong shouted after Zheng Qiu replied. He also thought he misheard Zheng Qiu.But Zhao Po winked at Su Tong who later stepped back to not meddle in.Zheng Qiu smiled at the old woman and said, "Do y
