"what?"

"Are you Mr. Han?"

Uncle Geng and others looked at the old man in front of them in shock. They had heard Liu Wei say before that Han Zaifu was about to make a comeback, and maybe they could meet him on the way.

I didn't expect to encounter him in this situation.

"It's me, but I'm not an adult, just an old man."

Han Zaifu had changed into a set of clean clothes and looked much better.

"Master Han, aren't you going to the capital? Why are you here?"

Uncle Geng was a little curious. He remembered that Liu Wei told them that they would meet Mr. Han in Tianshui City on his way to Beijing.

However, they did not meet.

In other words, they never thought about looking for him.

But, I didn’t expect to meet it here.

This county town is not on Han Zaifu's route to the capital, so it is a bit strange for him to appear here.

"My master is here to provide disaster relief!"

The attendant next to him explained that it turned out that there had been heavy rains for several days in a row, and Han Zaifu thought that the water would rise, so he asked the county magistrate to prepare for flood control.

He was even planning to take people to nearby villages and counties to see if anyone needed help.

However, who knew that when walking on the bridge, the bridge was destroyed by floods, causing Han Zaifu to fall into the water.

"I see."

"Judging from their accents, they must be from the north!" Han Zaifu suddenly said, "The imperial court asked me to go back to provide disaster relief, so I want to understand the disaster situation in the north so that I can think of countermeasures in advance..."

"This……"

Uncle Geng and others immediately hesitated.

"Don't worry, I just know about the disaster situation. I heard that the drought in the north is serious, but I don't know how to deal with it."

"Although I heard a lot of rumors, some of them are too exaggerated...I can't judge, so I can't start..."

Seeing that Han Zaifu had not yet arrived in the capital, he was thinking about how to solve the disaster. He was obviously a person who planned to do practical things.

Uncle Geng thought for a while, and then briefly talked about the situation of the northerners, part of which he saw with his own eyes on the way.

"This……"

After listening to Uncle Geng's words, Han Zaifu and others were shocked. They knew that the drought in the north was serious, but they did not expect it to be so serious.

I'm afraid that if we don't find a solution, the world will be in chaos.

"So, there are millions of disaster victims in the north now..."

Thinking of this number, Han Zaifu had a headache.

There is no way to change natural disasters.

Man-made disasters can be solved.

But it depends on the means, but Han Zaifu feels that it may be difficult to solve with the current means.

"you……"

Han Zaifu opened his mouth. In fact, he still had many things he wanted to ask them, but after all, he still did not speak after all.

"Han Mou can't repay you for your life-saving kindness. The boy at home is working in Suzhou. If you go to Suzhou, I can write a letter for you."

Then, Han Zaifu wrote a letter and asked them to take it. He also took out the jade pendant and handed it to Chen Chuxue and others as proof.

After saying that, he couldn't wait to rush to the capital. If he delayed it any longer, the matter might become more serious.

"Master Han..."

Chen Chuxue suddenly stopped him, "If you want to provide disaster relief, all you need is water and food. As long as there is enough food, the victims will not be able to mess around..."

Han Zaifu nodded, he also knew this truth, but the problem was, where to find so much food.

"This is a sweet potato that can produce thousands of pounds per acre, and it is suitable for planting in dry areas..."

Chen Chuxue took out two things and handed them to him, which were found in the treasure chest before. The reason why I took it out was because I wanted to make good friends with him. After all, he is the prime minister of a country. If the disaster relief is successful, it means that this is truly a person who is superior to one person and inferior to ten thousand people.

At that time, even if he didn't speak, as long as others knew about his relationship with her, countless officials would please and take care of her.

This can be regarded as Chen Chuxue's investment, or it can be said to leave a way out for himself.

After all, they had offended Sun Ling, Magistrate Guo and other people in the court, and they might even have offended Marquis Qingyun. Without a backer, the future might be very dangerous.

Although she saved Han Zaifu's life, the favor was not enough, so Chen Chuxue took out the sweet potatoes.

When he heard that the yield per mu was a thousand catties, Han Zaifu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he took it respectfully and bowed to Chen Chuxue.

"If it succeeds, I would like to thank Miss Chen on behalf of all the people in the world."

…………

Saving Han Zaifu and making him owe a favor was a small episode in their journey to Jiangnan.

Because the river washed away the bridge, they had to take a detour.

After walking for who knows how long, I finally found a passable bridge.

Next, because they were almost to Jiangnan, they stopped rushing.

Instead, the journey was like a picnic, slowly rushing to the south of the Yangtze River.

After waiting until ten days, they finally arrived at Southern City.

Although Nanfeng City is not as big as Tianshui City, it is much larger than Dongqiu County.

The city wall, which is tens of meters high, is undulating, and the weathered city wall shows the wind and frost of the years.

Instead of going into the city, they asked someone to go to Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and ask them to pick them up.

Although it is a bit troublesome for them, it is safer this way.

It was impossible to hold the token and ask the guards to let them in. Although it was possible to succeed, they didn't want to take the risk.

In particular, this is the territory of the original body's father, or the Chen family, before the relationship between County Magistrate Chen and the original body is clear.

They didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter, so they tried to keep a low profile when entering the city.

Then, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce sent a carriage out, and a steward came to Chen Chuxue and others.

Chen Chuxue took out the letter written by Miss Shen and the jade pendant, and the steward immediately respectfully invited them to get on the carriage.

Sure enough, riding in the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's carriage, they entered Nanfeng City easily.

"Manager Fang, are there any houses for sale in Nanfeng City?"

Regardless of whether the marriage recognition is successful or not, Chen Chuxue plans to settle here, so she must buy a house first.

"Have!"

"If Miss Chen has any requirements, you can list them. Tomorrow I can sort out the information on houses in the city that meet the requirements."

"It's up to the manager to trouble you."

"By the way, does Manager Fang know about County Magistrate Chen of Nanfeng City?"

"know."

Manager Fang nodded when he heard this. They have a branch here, so they naturally want to know the situation in the city clearly.

For example, the county magistrate, officials at all levels, wealthy businessmen, etc. in the city basically have a clear understanding of the situation.

"This County Magistrate Chen is not only talented, but also a good official who loves the people like his own son..." Manager Fang couldn't help but praise him.

From his words, Chen Chuxue quickly learned about the situation of the county magistrate who was related to the original person.

To sum it up, it’s nothing more than these few words.

A good official, honest, and loving the people like a son.

If this is the case, then those killers cannot be sent by County Magistrate Chen. I am afraid there is another hidden secret.

In addition, if this is the case, then the chances of her successfully recognizing her will be much higher.
