Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"This young man looks familiar?" This is what Zhou Song, the prefect of Luochuan, said when he saw Chen Ze.

"Your Excellency is joking. I am just a commoner." Chen Ze smiled slightly, but he really had no impression of this person.

"Perhaps I made a mistake." He touched Eleven's head and said, "I came here specifically to thank Miss Sheng for saving my son's life. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

Sheng Changan seemed to think for a moment before saying, "I want to open a teahouse here, and I'd like to trouble you to take care of it when the time comes."

"Wang Yi" Sheng Changan shouted loudly.

Wang Yicai came in from outside and bowed to Du Song.

"This is the person I left behind to take charge. If anything happens, please take care of me occasionally." Although Wang Yi is flexible in his work, he is not very old. Luochuan is a relatively peaceful place, which is a good opportunity for him to practice.

After a quick glance, Zhou Lin handed over a jade and patted Wang Yi on the shoulder. "If there is anything you can't solve, bring it to me in the mansion."

"Thank you, sir."

Since the matter has been settled, Zhou Lin naturally will not stay long. He came here just to see what kind of person saved Eleven.

"Wang Yi, are you confident? I will leave two hundred taels of gold for you for working capital. In addition, I will leave a few people behind and will not leave until the teahouse is open." These are the only people she can trust. To establish an intelligence network, she naturally needs to use trustworthy people.

"I will definitely not let you down, sir." He knew that sir had specially found a good place for him and even found a backer for him. Under such circumstances, there was no way he could fail to do it.

In one year, Wang Yi has changed a lot. The originally ignorant boy has grown up and started to understand the ways of the world.

"If anything goes wrong, just run away. Material possessions are not as important as you, understand?" The world is changing rapidly. Although she really wants to establish an intelligence network, she can't let Wang Yi risk his life to block it.

"Yes."

With the above connections, things were naturally done quickly. She also specially invited a storyteller to take charge, and Du Jingsheng had already prepared everything she needed and went to Guangping.

Except for those abducted children who wanted to return home, the others also went to Guangping with the goods.

She kept Le Qingping and her brother behind. Her appearance was too outstanding, and she was still a little worried about going back with those people.

After staying for another seven days, Sheng Changan decided to set off again. It was already March and the weather was gradually warming up, which was a good day for travel.

"Miss, where are we going this time?"

The things I need to buy have been bought. Now it’s just a matter of personal preference. Sheng Changan looked at the map thoughtfully. “That place is indispensable on the way to the capital.”

Li Hui frowned and thought carefully. She had been away from Beijing for more than ten years, and because of her father, she stayed in Beijing most of the time.

"I do know a place." Chen Ze's eyes moved slightly. "Luodan is also a provincial capital and a capital of grain and grass. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. This place leads directly to the border and the capital."

Li Hui also thought of something. "I heard my father talk about this place. There is also a Furong River here. It flows through almost most cities in the south."

This is a place that is fought over by military strategists. This idea has come to the minds of almost everyone here.

"Then let's go to Luodan." After the end, we can go back to Guangping. It was really inconvenient to ride in a horse-drawn carriage in ancient times. We didn't go to many places and it took more than half a year since we left.

Sheng Changan glanced at Xu Qing, who was talking about something with Li Dashan, and immediately shut up when he met her eyes.

Chen Ze was a little curious about why Xu Qing had changed so much. He wanted to imitate him. "Miss, what happened to him?"

"Maybe you feel a little guilty for not saving me last time!" A smile appeared in Sheng Chang'an's eyes, and he jumped onto the horse nimbly.

But from his point of view, Xu Qing didn't seem like such a conscientious person! He had evidence to suspect that the adults were just perfunctory.

But their luck was obviously not very good. There were only a few sunny days along the way, and the rest of the time it rained heavily almost every day. When they finally arrived in Luodan, they were already covered in dirt.

There was no time to find a house, so they could only find an inn to stay in first. There were so many people coming and going in Luodan that there were not many rooms in the inn when they arrived, so they had to squeeze in.

Sheng Changan looked at the rain outside and had a bad feeling. It hadn't stopped for so many days. I wonder how the dam here is built?

"Miss, let me wipe your hair," Yue Qingping came over.

After taking a bath, she exuded an unconscious charm, with tenderness in her eyes.

Sheng Changan naturally would not refuse. Usually after washing, she would just spread her hair out and let it dry naturally.

If the times allowed, she really wanted to cut her hair because it was too cumbersome.

The next morning, Sheng Changan led Gao Qiang and others to the riverside to check the situation, while Li Hui took people to find a house to see if it could be rented as soon as possible.

After all, it costs a lot of money for so many people to stay in the inn every day, and the weather doesn't look like it will stop for a while.

As she expected, the water level at the river bank was extremely high and had even partially flooded the area.

"Miss, should we leave as soon as possible?" Gao Qiang was a little worried. Even though he didn't understand these things, he knew the situation was not good by looking at the momentum of the water.

"Not for now. The city is on a high ground. Let's see how the government plans to deal with it first." Sheng Changan looked towards the distance, where there seemed to be government officials.

But before she could get close, someone stopped her and said, "Stop, what are you doing here? You are not allowed to pass through here."

"Sir, I am really worried about such a heavy flood. I wonder how the government plans to deal with it." Sheng Chang'an looked worried.

"That's none of your business. Leave quickly, or don't blame me for being blind." As he said this, he took out the knife.

Sheng Changan had no choice but to leave, but he didn't go far. He found a place with a better view and got off his horse.

The person over there obviously noticed her, but did not move at all.

Looking at the direction of the people over there, it was obvious that they were planning to lower the first line of defense and then start covering it with soil.

But this is obviously a drop in the bucket. If there is no other way, the second line of defense will definitely not be able to be maintained.

"Go back." Luodan is so important. As long as the court has no problem with its brains, it will definitely find a way. It is not her turn to worry about it now.

Li Hui was also very quick, and by the time she returned, she had already found a place to stay.

It rained heavily for several days in a row.

"Miss," Chen Ze walked in with a serious expression, "those people planned to open all the sluice gates and abandon Bao Luodan downstream."

"Who came up with this idea? Are they crazy?" Even if Luodan is important, they cannot just give up the downstream.

"It has already begun. It is said that this is an idea that came from the current emperor."

Sheng Changan rubbed her forehead. She knew that it was better to drain than to block, but the flooded areas were not limited to Luodan. Even if she wanted to drain it, she couldn't do it this way.

"Did they find someone to evacuate the people?"

Chen Ze was silent for a moment. "It is said that someone has been sent over here."

Yesterday? If we open the gates today, how could we possibly have enough time? How many people would die?

“How many counties are there downstream?”

"At least more than ten. Luochuan is also downstream and was the first place to be hit. I speculate that this Lord Du may be one of Master Ye's men."

Looking at Chen Ze's eyes, she slowly understood that this was a political game, and Master Ye was going to lose.

"Pack your things, and as long as it doesn't rain, we'll leave immediately."

Once Master Ye dies, the Liu family becomes the only powerful family in the court. She must go back immediately and also go to Luochuan to pick up Wang Yi. The world will soon be in chaos.
