Cute Beauty’s Romantic Affairs - C105
As for that Wu Sinan, the last time he heard Jiaoniang talk about him, he kept this matter in his heart. When he returned home to eat, he would always think about the piece of gold that belonged to the Dragon King.
After sitting at home for two days, Floating Stone thought that he was going to cause trouble again by not eating. He was so anxious that he almost wrote a letter to the old lady, telling her to quickly discipline her young master.
But just as he said that, Wu Sinan’s fan landed on his head, “Am I your young master or something? “If you don’t come, then you won’t come. Right now, everyone is avoiding me, but seeing the reality of the situation is what the old lady wants to tell me.”
The folded fan was suspended in midair, but Wu Sinan was still concerned about the piece of gold. Especially with Jiaoniang’s description, Wang Lao’er’s death was practically a public suspense case, which made people curious.
“Prepare the horse. Young master, I want to go to county office.”
Hearing that the young master wanted to go out, the pumice stone went to prepare the horse happily. It did not care what he was going to do.
When he arrived at the county office, the yamen runner came to lead the horse as soon as he saw him. Smiling, he asked, “Young Master Wu, how did you get the free time to come here today?”
Wu Sinan dismounted from his horse and rushed towards the yamen, this short distance nearly made him die from heat, “I’ve come to find Lord Liu, where is Lord Liu?”
That bailiff was clever, he immediately gave the horse to his comrades and ran to lead the way in front of Wu Sinan.
This county magistrate’s surname was Liu and his name was Liu Jiqing. He had already served in Qingyuan County for three years, and even though he could not be considered as someone with political power during these three years, he did not die on the spot. He had worked as a master in his hometown for many years, and was also quite familiar with the matters of Qingyuan County. After coming here this time, he simply threw everything else aside, and only did it to protect his position and life.
Qing Yuan was not a small person, he had all kinds of history in the county, and all of them had a single purpose when they came here. They did not want to learn from those greedy people, and they did not want to fight in this crappy place, since it was too far away, even the emperor would not be able to see them doing something like this.
Wu Sinan scoffed at their thoughts. What was the use of being a father and mother in a place like this if not being an official? Although they were all sneaky, at least they gave the county office a reminder. This young master was the one who let our family take the initiative to leave him in this remote place, but if he had a few days of leisure, it would all be over.
As for the county magistrate, how could he not know of Wu Sinan’s schemes? He would occasionally call Wu Sinan to eat at the Qiao Family Restaurant to keep a good eye on the scene, afraid that there would be a problem with the giant Buddha.
When Wu Sinan arrived at the back of the hall, he found Lord Liu and his county magistrate sitting in their rooms, chatting about something. The moment Wu Sinan entered, he felt a slight chill, and then he saw the ice basins placed at the four corners of the room.
“Lord Liu has been living a good life. Eating three hundred Litchi in one day and becoming a Lingnan citizen. Eating one Ice Litchi this season is equivalent to becoming a living immortal!”
Liu Jiqing laughed and stood up to welcome him. “I was wondering why a magpie would be calling from a tree so early in the morning. It turns out Young Master Wu has arrived.
Gus did not stand on ceremony with him. She sat down next to him, peeled off a piece of lychee and threw it into her mouth. “What are you talking about?”
Normally, Lord Liu would never sit inside his county office when he had nothing better to do. He had no idea what was going on today, but all three of them were here.
Liu Jiqing and his two men found a place to sit down, “Aren’t we discussing about the matter of rain? Seeing that the grain has just been planted, and there’s no rain for half a month, if it doesn’t rain again, it will delay the growth of the crops. Thus, the three of us are discussing about the matter of drinking water and irrigation. ”
Seeing Wu Sinan eating the Litchi fruit happily, Liu Jiqing felt his heart ache. Litchi was a rare commodity sent by Wu Family, and needed to be kept under ice for a long time in order to be transported. However, Wu Family only gave him a basket, and this time, he received a plate for his subordinates.
“So it’s like that. Did you come up with anything?” Wu Sinan picked up the documents on the table and casually flipped through them. This Qingyuan County already had an irrigation system for water, but it had not drought for many years. Usually, it required a person’s strength and money to maintain the water channel, but over time, everyone had neglected this issue.
However, when Liu Jiqing intended to restart the irrigation system, he realized just how terrible of a mess his predecessors had left him. If he wanted to rebuild the canal this time, he would need at least a thousand taels of silver.
Where could he get so much silver? Not to mention that he didn’t have it, even if the entire yamen was emptied, it wouldn’t be enough. That was why they were all discussing it with worried expressions.
If there was no irrigation and the harvest was delayed, the entire Qingyuan County would have to turn in at least one hundred thousand buckets of food during the autumn. If there was no food supply, the entire Qingyuan County would have to turn in another hundred thousand buckets of food in the autumn, and if there was no irrigation and if the harvest was delayed, the entire Qingyuan County would have to turn in at least one hundred thousand buckets of food during the autumn. There were too many mountains, too few plains, and most of the land’s resources were concentrated in the hands of a large family. If he really couldn’t hand over the food, then not to mention protecting his official position, there would be at least six levels of people in the county who could not survive through the long winter.
Although Liu Jiqing was afraid of death, he had at least read the Good Book, and was once the Grand Master of a county. If something really did happen to him in his hands, how would he have the face to see the Jiang Dong elders?
“Ai, sad, full one thousand gold. Where can I get this thousand taels of silver? Even if I get it, where can I get those skilled craftsmen? “This is so worrying.”
In front of Wu Sinan, he had nothing to hide, maybe this young master would give him this one thousand gold.
But Wu Sinan didn’t have the slightest bit of thought, and laughed: “Looks like I didn’t come at the right time today, why don’t you think about it for me? I’ll go out for a walk, and come back when you’re free.”
When he was a 250, he wanted to take money out of him. Wu Sinan thought.
“Ahh, don’t go! If you have more people, then help me think about what to do. What should I do?”
This crafty kid! Liu Jiqing didn’t care about his face at all, he grabbed onto Wu Sinan and didn’t want to let him go. In any case, it would be good to be able to grab hold of a glimmer of hope, since this young master Wu Family was in his territory.
“Does Lord Liu really want to know what I think?”
