husband and wife

Chapter 393

Then Song Ziheng went around a few more times, not only he and Qiongzhou officials, but also the group of Qiongzhou rich businessmen whom Su Wan jokingly referred to as being taken advantage of, formed a study group, and after the third trip, they got another sponsorship Come over here.

With money, places outside Qiongzhou City have also carried out post-disaster reconstruction work in full swing.

There are so many counties and towns around Qiongzhou, if he wants to keep an eye on them personally, Song Ziheng will not be able to do it all at once, besides, he is the head of a state, and he has to take care of far more affairs than these, so he can't hang around at the grassroots level every day.But now he has his own manpower, not many officials have surrendered to him, just two or three kittens, but the yamen servants have already obeyed him. Song Ziheng has selected a few trusted people to form a monitoring team, and only in one place every day The county and town watched for him.

Song Ziheng sits in Qiongzhou, remotely controlling the development of work in various places.

Seeing that the situation is developing in a good direction, the lives of the people in Qiongzhou City are already on the right track. Although there are government subsidies, the disaster has caused them a lot of losses, but it makes them look forward to their parents and officials for the first time. And rely on, life is a little bit harder now, but it is full of energy and vitality, and the disaster relief work in various places is going smoothly.

Su Wan was happy for Song Ziheng, but was a little worried.

Today, Mama Liu whispered something in Su Wan's ear with a smile on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Madam, do you want to find a doctor to come and have a look?"

"No, don't make a big fuss for the time being, it's not good to disturb the husband."

Mama Liu's smile immediately froze on her face, and replaced it with a puzzled expression: "Why can't the master know, this is a good thing."

"Now I'm not sure, if I guess wrong, wouldn't it make people happy."

It happened that Xiaolu came in with something, Liu Ma pulled her and said, "Xiaolu, come and persuade Madam, how can you not tell the master and not invite a doctor for such a big matter."

"Miss always has a reason to hide it from her." Xiaolu pursed her lips, but after a pause, she continued, "But you don't have to be so careful. Big Niu brother said that the work ahead is almost over, and everything is going well these days. You really don't have to worry about delaying my uncle's busy work."

"You don't understand." Su Wan has other worries, and it's inconvenient to say more, so she just waved her hands, "It's been decided in advance, so don't tell me that it's a secret."

"What do you mean leaking?" Song Ziheng came in abruptly.

Su Wan was a little surprised: "Sanggong came back so early today?"

"I've finished my work before, so it's rare for me to take time to accompany my wife. Is my wife not happy?" Song Ziheng joked, and then asked, "What are you guys talking about?"

Xiaolu and Liu Ma looked at each other, both hesitated to speak, but Su Wan said: "It's nothing, you guys go down first."

"Yes." The two put down the things in their hands, went out, and closed the door along the way.

Song Ziheng didn't ask any further questions. He walked up to Su Wan, took her hand, and stroked her brow with the other hand: "My lady has such an expression, what kind of difficulties do you encounter?"

"It's not difficult." Su Wan glanced at Song Ziheng a few times, and sighed, "It's just a little worried."

"For me?" Song Ziheng raised his eyebrows, sat down next to her, and said with a light smile, "Tell me, lady."

Su Wan was not too polite, and asked directly: "Sanggong invited wealthy businessmen several times, did you take out tens of thousands of silver taels from their pockets?"

"Young lady thinks well, there are indeed tens of thousands of guan."

"These people are treacherous and cunning, and the money will definitely not be given in vain. As much as you spit out now, you will definitely take it all back in the future." Su Wan paused, and continued, "However, it has been more than 20 days since my husband handed over the paperwork. We are willing to allocate funds for disaster relief, I think there has been a response long ago, but there is no news at all, maybe we just don’t want to care about it, how will Xianggong explain to the rich merchants of Qiongzhou by then?”

Song Ziheng didn't answer right away, he glanced at Su Wan, saw her frowning slightly, she looked really worried, suddenly smiled again, didn't take Su Wan's worry to heart at all, instead asked: "My lady is worried about this. ?”

"Shouldn't I be worried?"

"No, I was negligent, and I never wanted to tell my wife." Song Ziheng smiled and hugged Su Wan's shoulders, brought her into his arms, and said softly, "My lady, listen to me carefully. Tell them to make up the money first, and wait The imperial court will give them back after the relief, but it’s just a matter of appearances, the imperial court never cares about Qiongzhou’s situation, there will be several large and small hurricanes every year, if they donate every time, won’t the national treasury be emptied?”

"Of course, this group of people also know it, but since I dare to ask them to pay for money, I can naturally make up for it from other places, but it's not just using silver taels directly. Playing with them like this, so even if you know it, you are willing to pay the money." Song Ziheng said, his little finger wrapped around Su Wan's hair, and his voice became more gentle, "I was afraid that the lady would not like to hear these things, no In detail, the lady never asked, I never imagined that a person would pretend to be so worried."

Su Wan seemed to be nestling in his arms obediently, but her hands were not polite, she grabbed the flesh around his waist and twisted it, "You go out early and come back late these days, and you almost don't have enough time to sleep. I don't have the nerve to take this something to bother you."

"It's because of my husband's mistake, my lady, please forgive me." Master Song, who was revered by all the people in Qiongzhou and regarded as a heavenly man, begged for mercy under Mrs. Song's hands without any image, "I will learn this lesson for my husband, and I will never dare again. "

"Your lesson is yet to come." Su Wan withdrew her hand and said bluntly.

Song Ziheng's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and he was about to ask, but was interrupted by Su Wan, and she said again: "Then you don't expect the imperial court to allocate funds, why do you want to write a note?"

"The imperial court does not allocate funds, but the rich merchants in Qiongzhou have done such good deeds. I am naturally grateful. I can't bear their good deeds without leaving their names, so I want to try my best to win them the title of good people."

Su Wan suddenly moved, and looked at Song Ziheng with bright eyes, Song Ziheng said in a glorious manner: "If you want to exchange tens of thousands of taels of silver, you can exchange a plaque for a good person from a saint. If you want to come to a saint, you will not be stingy."

"I'm afraid that Mr. Xiang's move is not just for the benefit of wealthy businessmen in Qiongzhou?" Su Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at Song Ziheng.

Song Ziheng was still laughing like he couldn't eat the fireworks in the world, and asked leisurely: "Why did the lady say that?"

"As Xianggong said, the hurricane in Qiongzhou is not something that happens once or twice. These rich businessmen have won the title of benevolent person praised by the sage himself. When they meet the people in need of help in the future, they can't just sit by and watch, or they will be used as a fuss and reported. Going, isn't it the crime of deceiving the king?"
