Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

On this side, Xu Minglang received the letter from Manager Xu. He unfolded it and read it carefully, frowning in shock.

Manager Xu was a wealthy man, and he was now the chief manager. Seeing his master like this, he was curious about what was written in Qing Ning's letter.

Xu Minglang suddenly sneered: "This girl is plotting against me, but I'm willing to accept it."

Manager Xu became even more curious: "Young Master, what did Qing Ning say in the letter?"

Xu Minglang handed the letter to him and asked him to read it himself. After taking the letter and carefully reading the contents, Manager Xu was also shocked by what Qingning said in the letter.

"What's this girl thinking? She's generous and not afraid of being at a disadvantage."

"This girl has foresight, ideas, and a broad mind, which is truly rare. Just because of her sincerity, I have made this deal with her. Let's go to the county government office."

After saying that, he led Manager Xu to the county government office.

Xue Jingtang has been very busy recently and is now worried about raising money and food. When he heard that Dai Conglai reported that Xu Minglang was visiting, he felt a little surprised.

The attendant welcomed him into the central hall, bowed to Master Xue Ming, and explained his purpose: "Master Xue Ming, I have come to discuss the matter of raising money and grain with you."

Xue Jingtang was suspicious: "Oh~ What's your idea?"

Xu Minglang took out the letter and handed it over respectfully. Xue Jingtang didn't know what he was trying to say, so he took the letter and opened it to read.

After reading the letter, he clapped his hands: "Great, great! How did the Chen family's Qing Ning come up with this idea? If so, those merchants would be scrambling for it. But does the young master have any objection to the matters in this letter?"

Xu Minglang said, "Of course. Besides, I'm not at a loss. This girl said in her letter that the cooperation with me will be extended to six years, and she even gave me an extra percentage, so I'm making a profit. Although they're borrowing my Xu family's boat, their sincerity is still required. So, we need to discuss the details."

After the matter was settled, Xu Minglang sent someone to deliver a letter to Qing Ning, and also asked someone to bring medicinal herbs and other items along.

Qing Ning was naturally happy when she received the letter, but it was also within her expectations. She packed the herbs and the things she had bought today, and then arranged for someone to deliver the things to Wu Yue Village.

Because of the Qingyun County incident, Old Man Yu took a few people to Qingyun County in the afternoon. When they were near Qingyun County, they ran into Governor Tang, and the two of them entered the county together.

"Who are you? Qingyun County is infected with an epidemic, so please leave immediately." The guarding officers and soldiers saw them and hurriedly stopped them.

At Tang Fuyin's signal, an attendant came forward to explain his identity and purpose, and showed his seal, and only then did the officers and soldiers let him pass.

"Mr. Yu, this city is dangerous. You'd better rest outside the city. I will go into the city." Tang Fuyin was exhausted. Qingyun County was the hardest hit, which he had never expected.

Mr. Yu said, "That's fine, let's go together."

Tang Fuyin was feeling uneasy. Before this, various places had already issued regulations and measures for disaster prevention and epidemic prevention. Although some places had been affected by the disaster, fortunately, the prevention and control measures were timely and the disaster did not spread further.

But the situation in Qingyun County was so serious that he had to go there to verify it himself.

Seeing this, he said no more and the group entered the city gate. Someone from the county government office had already rushed to pass on the news that the prefect himself had come, and only then did Wu Mingfu reluctantly come out of the young lady's room.

Wu Mingfu looked impatient: "Okay, what are you cleaning up for? The disaster is severe now. If I wear something new and nice, how can I show myself as a good official who cares about the people?" As he said that, he put on the clothes, went out of the yard, found a muddy ground and rubbed his shoes again and again, and rubbed some mud on his clothes. He looked at them carefully before he was satisfied.

He did not wait for anyone at the yamen gate, but went to the street with the yamen runners and servants. He waited only for the attendant to report that the prefect had arrived. Then he waited for another quarter of an hour before running back to the county yamen in a hurried manner.

"Mr. Tang, please forgive me for being late." As soon as he entered the gate of the county government office, Wu Mingfu apologized to the people in the main hall.

When the people in the hall saw him come in, dirty and sweaty, Tang Fuyin suppressed his emotions and said, "You've worked hard, Wu Ming Prefecture. What's the current disaster situation? Have the people been properly resettled?"

Wu Mingfu greeted him, but he didn't know Old Man Yu and thought he was coming with Tang Fuyin, so he didn't pay any attention. Tang Fuyin wanted to introduce Old Man Yu, but Old Man Yu stopped him with a look.

Upon hearing his superiors inquire about the disaster, Wu Mingfu replied, "Alas, ever since receiving the letter from the capital, I have arranged for the reinforcement of dikes and flood control in all areas. Who could have imagined that the villages below would be so perfunctory and veiled in their defiance? I was terrified. When the elders and village heads reported that everything was in place, I let them go, but I never imagined they would cause such a catastrophic disaster."

As he spoke, his face was full of shame, regret, and annoyance.

"You didn't arrange for anyone to go around and supervise the work, but just stayed in the county government office?" The question was asked by Old Man Yu, his voice full of majesty.

Wu Mingfu raised his eyes and looked at Old Man Yu. He saw that he was full of extraordinary aura. Tang Fuyin did not mean to blame him, but was vaguely respectful. He thought about it for a while, but couldn't guess who he was. But he didn't dare not answer, but he was a little more cautious.

"This gentleman may not know that Qingyun County is considered a large county within Funan Prefecture, with vast territory and scattered villages. Furthermore, there are two major rivers flowing through the county, with countless tributaries and lakes. At that time, I was leading the county residents and yamen runners to reinforce these two major floodplains, so the town and village elders were responsible. They usually do their best, but this time, I never expected them to take it seriously. This was my negligence, my dereliction of duty. I beg the prefect to punish me. Even if you have to strip me of my official position, I have no complaints. But right now, saving lives is paramount. Could you please let me resolve this misfortune before dismissing me? Otherwise, how can I rest easy?"

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes and his voice was so choked that it moved everyone.

Old Master Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at him steadily. This man's kung fu was much better than that actor's. If his subordinates had not found out the evidence of his daily crimes early on, they would have been fooled by him.

But saying he was good at martial arts was a bit of a compliment. He kept saying it for fame but completely shirked responsibility. He subtly withdrew his gaze and looked at Tang Fuyin.

Tang Jue frowned with a cold look in his eyes. Feeling the gaze from Old Man Yu, his eyes darkened.

Ahhhh~~~~~ My head feels like it's filled with thick paste. I can't write anything I haven't thought about. I don't have a complete picture and I don't know where to go. Roar roar roar O(n_n)O haha~ Just let it go.
