From the end to the other world

Before Yunjiang was well managed, Qin Luochuan didn't have much time to stay in the Tongzhi Office in Rongcheng to do business, so he borrowed a place from Sun Zhian, hung up a plaque, and the Tongzhi Office was ready.

At that time, Qin Luochuan and Sun Dingping were discussing who to bring to investigate Yunjiang, when a subordinate hurried in to report that the emperor had sent an imperial edict.

There are still a few days until September, which is almost the same as Qin Luochuan's previous estimate. The two hurriedly called Shang Minghe, who was also discussing beside him, to go out with Pei Qingrong to receive the order.

As early as in the capital, the emperor made a decree that if Qin Luochuan didn't have enough manpower, he would ask General Sun to borrow it. Anyway, the world has been peaceful for the past few years, so there is no need to worry about the war, and even if he borrows people, he is still in Danzhou. , will not have much impact.

Before in Xigu, the four of them had cooperated tacitly, so Qin Luochuan directly asked Sun Zhian for help from the three of them.

When they reached the main hall, the messenger was already waiting there. Seeing Qin Luochuan coming in, he smiled and nodded, "Lord Qin, accept the order."

Qin Luochuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the person who delivered the decree was actually an old acquaintance, and then he led everyone to kneel down, "I accept the decree."

The imperial decree sent by the emperor was not the official decree when it was canonized, but the reply from Qin Luochuan that had passed on the paper earlier, so receiving the decree was not that troublesome.

After getting the booklet, Qin Luochuan didn't open it immediately, but greeted him: "It's so far away, please take a trip, Eunuch Li."

"I don't feel relieved to let someone else come to the emperor," Eunuch Li said with a smile, "I can only come here."

"It's hard work, father-in-law," Qin Luochuan said, "Take a rest first, there is a restaurant nearby that serves very good dishes, and I'll be the host at noon to cleanse you up."

Eunuch Li took a sip from his teacup, and smiled very warmly, "I will stay in Rongcheng for a few more months, don't be in a hurry, just get busy with things on hand, don't call me."

Qin Luochuan was a little surprised, "Is there anything else to do? Why did it take so long?"

Eunuch Li directly stated the reason, "The emperor wants me to stay here. If there is anything that needs the cooperation of the magistrate or the people below, I will let me know."

Qin Luochuan was stunned for a moment. When he was in Xigu, Zhao Zhang didn't deal with him. He mentioned it as a casual chat, but he didn't expect that the emperor would actually send someone to help him.

Eunuch Li has been serving the emperor personally, and he is very trusted by the emperor. Are you afraid that Zhao Zhang will not cooperate with him?

So Qin Luochuan got up and bowed towards the east, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Eunuch Li was still smiling, and raised his eyes to look at Qin Luochuan, "The emperor ordered me to stay here for a few more months, and he also asked me to see the current people and affairs in Danzhou."

When talking about people, his articulation is a bit heavier than others, and it seems to mean something. If you are not careful, it is difficult to detect.

Qin Luochuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Some things just need to be understood, and it's not appropriate to talk about them, so Qin Luochuan said, "Then I'll ask someone to arrange a residence for my father-in-law."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

At noon, Qin Luochuan hosted a banquet in the restaurant to entertain these people from the capital. Although his relationship with Eunuch Li had always been good, Eunuch Li was a person close to the emperor, so he couldn't go wrong with proper arrangements.

After the luncheon, Eunuch Li went to the residence arranged by Qin Luochuan to rest, while they continued to return to the Tongzhi Hall to discuss matters.

Only now did Qin Luochuan have the opportunity to check the booklet brought by Eunuch Li.

The excerpts were written by Qin Luochuan himself, and he could memorize the contents without reading them, what needed to be read was the emperor's approval.

Qin Luochuan was stunned when he opened it and saw the densely packed replies. When he looked at it carefully, he became more and more surprised.

The emperor's will directly affects how they will do things in the future. Shang Ming and the three of them looked at him from the side, sometimes frowning and sometimes surprised, and they also raised and lowered with a heart. Dingping was the first to ask impatiently: "What is the emperor's will?"

"It's almost like letting us follow the arrangement in the brochure," Qin Luochuan concluded, "but there is a little difference."

This is also where Qin Luochuan was surprised. Under the curious gazes of the three, Qin Luochuan said slowly, "The emperor finally said that if the previous payment from the Ministry of Households is not enough, you can apply for it after submitting a booklet."

The funds for water control after the flood in the Yunjiang River have always been stipulated. When they came from the capital, they were given along with the relief supplies. Moreover, most of the people Qin Luochuan is using now are from the Southwest Army, and these people are supported by the army. , does not need to receive a monthly salary from Qin Luochuan, thus saving a lot of money, even if Qin Luochuan's plan is large, under his plan, the money is barely enough.

Pei Qingrong was the most taciturn among them, and she couldn't help asking jokingly after hearing the words, "I dare to ask, are the rumors before the capital really true?"

Qin Luochuan was a little helpless. When Qi Liangping slandered him as a spy of a foreign race, he took this opportunity to clarify his life experience, but because of the protection of the emperor and the warning that no one should go to Yuxi Town to investigate, some people believed it. He is an exiled prince.

Pei Qingrong went to the capital to report on his work before, and stayed in the capital for nearly a month, so it is normal to hear this rumor.

"Really not," Qin Luochuan explained, "The emperor probably wants us to get things done here as soon as possible."

In Qin Luochuan's previous plan, due to limited funds, soldiers in Rongcheng were required to do many things, and the cycle was indeed not short. If he could still ask for money from the imperial court in the future, there would be no need for such a tight budget, such as digging a river. For things like water canals, people can be hired to do them with money, which can not only speed up the progress of water control, but also allow the people who were originally affected by the disaster to have more other income.

The emperor was in charge of the overall situation, and it was probably because of this that he said that the money could be transferred.

After listening to Qin Luochuan's analysis, the three of them felt that it made sense, and Shang Ming reconciled, "Then, brother Pei and I will go to the prefect's yamen, and discuss with the prefect Zhao about the cooperation of those counties in the Yunjiang Plain."

The excavation of river channels and canals on the Yunjiang Plain was planned by Qin Luochuan a long time ago, and the follow-up work only needs to be advanced. Originally, Qin Luochuan planned to entrust Shang Minghe and Pei Qingrong to do it.

It's just that Eunuch Li is here now.

Qin Luochuan waved his hand, "Let's talk about it in two days. When Eunuch Li has a rest, please invite him to go with you."

It would take nearly a day from Rongcheng to the magistrate's yamen, and they were already pressed for time, so they might as well wait for the preparations to be completed before going there, so as to avoid Zhao Zhang's non-cooperation.

My uncle and Pei Qingrong worked with Qin Luochuan when he was in Xigu, and there was nothing to worry about. Now that Eunuch Li is coordinating with the magistrate, Qin Luochuan doesn't need to worry about the following matters.

But no matter how perfect these are done, Qin Luochuan has to confirm the location of the diversion, and then draw the water as planned to play a role.

Shang Minghe asked: "What about you, when are you going to leave?"

"Three days later." Qin Luochuan said.

Originally, in his plan, he set off as soon as he got the order. Anyway, the people who were to be taken with him were all settled, and several fishermen who were familiar with the water properties of the Yunjiang River had also been found, so they could set off as long as they were notified.

It's just that it's Shang Qingyue's birthday in two days, and Qin Luochuan still wants to spend it with him before leaving.

Sun Dingping didn't know that Qin Luochuan was going to spend his birthday with his husband at home, and he heard that he would leave in three days, so he felt very happy to steal a few days off, "Then I have to let my mother cook more delicious food in the next few days Give me."

"..." Qin Luochuan, who had lost his mother a long time ago, "...Since I'm fine, I'll go back to accompany my husband and the child first."

Shang Minghe: "Then I will go back to accompany my husband."

Pei Qingrong, the winner in life, patted Sun Dingping on the shoulder, "My mother, wife and children are waiting at home, let's go first."

Unknown, so Sun Dingping stood there for a while, and then left the Tongzhi hall in a daze.

He said he left early, but when Qin Luochuan got home, it was almost time for dinner.

Shang Qingyue was feeding a small dumpling, saw him come in and asked, "Husband, why is it so early today?"

Because many things need to be discussed, these few people spend most of their time in the Tongzhi Hall these days, and it is not too late to come back, but they are also stepping on the time of dinner. It is a little earlier like today, which is really unprecedented.

"Everything is pretty much arranged," Qin Luochuan leaned over and patted Xiaotuanzi's head, "The emperor's decree has also come down, and the next thing is to wait for the departure."

Shang Qingyue paused holding the spoon, "When will my husband leave?"

"Three days later," Qin Luochuan smiled, "I'll leave after your birthday."

"It's just a birthday, don't delay my husband's work." Shang Qingyue said so, but the corners of her lips raised unconsciously, and she even dug up the spoonful of rice that was going to be fed to Xiaotuanzi Add fish.

Qin Luochuan said: "Anyway, this matter can't be done in a day or two, and it doesn't matter if we leave a few days later."

After dinner, Shang Qingyue dismissed Suxue and Tingyu, and sorted out the things Qin Luochuan needed to bring with her own hands.

This time, Qin Luochuan's plan was to go down the Yunjiang River until the diversion of the two artificial rivers before returning. According to the estimates of several fishermen, he would be able to return in about January.

So looking at the winter clothes Shang Qingyue dug out from the cage, Qin Luochuan frowned, and said helplessly: "It's not even September yet, even if it's going to be cold later, I don't need these clothes."

Shang Qingyue still kept tidying things up, "Rongcheng is colder than Yuxi Town, and my husband is going down the river with high mountains on both sides, so the road must be much colder than other places, don't take too much How about some warm clothes."

"You know." Qin Luochuan grabbed Shang Qingyue's hand to prevent him from moving, "I have a lot of things in there, and I will find a way to use them when I need them."

Shang Qingyue was silent for a moment, "Is there enough food in there?"

Qin Luochuan laughed, "You were preparing things for me to take in a month ago, do you think it's enough?"

If you prepare too many things at once, I'm afraid Suxue and the others will find out, so Shang Qingyue began to prepare small amounts one after another a month ago, and Qin Luochuan might not be able to finish the things he has prepared so far in a month. What's more, there are quite a few things in him.
