How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 287 Don’t make things difficult for the workers. I believed your lies.

Earthquake resistance work has begun.

Shen Yuan and Xie Jinyu reproduced the earthquake disaster data of various places based on their memories of previous lives to confirm the disaster situation in various places. They planned safe and convenient migration routes based on geography and official roads, tried to avoid areas with serious bandit problems, and considered setting up post stations and supply points along the route to ensure the basic living needs of the people during the migration.

The destination of the migration must also be confirmed to ensure that the local area can accommodate 100,000 people, sufficient food, clothing and medicine must be prepared in advance to avoid riots caused by insufficient supplies, and enough horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts must be prepared to transport people who are unable to move and supplies that are difficult to transport...

All of these should be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, which should speed up the transportation of earthquake-resistant materials and set up temporary post stations. All carpentry shops in Dezhou, Qingzhou, Yizhou and other places should cooperate with the government office to use up local timber and other materials as soon as possible. It is better to use them to build horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts than to have them rot after the earthquake.

Things were proceeding in an orderly manner. With the cooperation of Shen Yuan, Jing Ze and others in the court, the division of labor was very clear. The imperial edict for earthquake-resistant relocation was quickly sent to the eastern states, and the officials who brought the edict supervised its immediate implementation, and the people began to be relocated on the designated day.

So far so good.

But as Xie Chengze said, people may not be willing to leave their hometowns.

What is the earth dragon turning over?

Do not believe.

Will you be given houses and land when you get there?

No? No!

The officials are up to something again. They want to take away their properties and land!

Those people cut down all the trees on the mountain, saying they were going to make wooden carts. I think they clearly wanted to freeze us to death in the winter! Or they wanted to force us to buy black coal. Hey, they are officials and businessmen, they always use this trick!

Many people believed it and stopped the government officials from cutting down the trees, saying that he was committing an unfortunate sin. It was not until the government officials showed their power that they left, cursing and looking back every few steps.

There are some bizarre and frustrating things happening every day, and some people take the opportunity to get kickbacks, slowing down the progress of migration and earthquake resistance. Some things are difficult to solve, so they will be reported to the court and asked for instructions.

Xie Jinyu threw all these memorials aside. He believed that there was no need to save those ignorant people.

"I have tried my best. The court issued an edict, but they were unwilling to listen and unwilling to leave. They are so stubborn. What do I want with such disobedient people?"

Under the candlelight, the expression on Xie Jinyu's face flickered, looking extremely dark and strange. "Someone died, and only then will the surviving people believe in the court and be more loyal to it."

Shen Yuan carefully read the memorial, his expression calm and composed, as if Xie Jinyu had just let out a smellless fart, without even raising his head, "Oh, but the Second Prince wants these people to live."

Xie Jinyu: …

"Don't use your second brother to pressure me!" Xie Jinyu stared at Shen Yuan sinisterly, holding the long sword at his waist, ready to strike. "If it wasn't for my second brother's order, I would have killed you long ago!"

Shen Yuan finally looked up at Xie Jinyu.

Although this prince is no longer as elegant and friendly as before, his temperament has become twisted and sinister, and he wants to chop off the heads of ministers at any time...

But fortunately, Xie Chengze's presence can still suppress his violence and allow him to take on the responsibilities of the new emperor of Jian'an.

As for the fact that Xie Jinyu killed him in his previous life.

Shen Yuan sighed slightly in his heart. He no longer cared. Although he didn't understand why Xie Jinyu was so obsessed with Xie Chengze, he believed that there must be a reason why the young man doted on the prince so much. Just like in his previous life, if Xie Jinyu killed his relatives, he would fight with the other party to the death.

He now only prayed that the prince could be more normal and review memorials and handle state affairs properly.

It would be really difficult to change the training of the prince.

The hardworking Shen Yuan lowered his head in frustration and continued to read the memorials. "Your Highness, please deal with these matters quickly. I want to go home and rest early."

Seeing Shen Yuan responding to him so weakly, Xie Jinyu was also filled with anger with nowhere to vent, so he could only raise his brush fiercely, ready to vent on the memorial.

Then Shen Yuan said, "You are not allowed to write beheading. Be careful and tell the Second Prince."

Xie Jinyu: “…”

Don’t write it then!

When the second brother recovers, he will definitely sow discord between the two of them!!!

On the other side, Zhuolu County, Jizhou.

Xie Chengze was flipping through the "storybook" in his hand with great interest. The prince's guards "passed by" unsteadily and took a quick glance at him, but were blocked by Wuhen and Wuji's bodies.

"Hey~ Don't make things difficult for the workers~ Come here, come here, look, I'm reading a storybook!" Xie Chengze signaled Wuhen and Wuji not to make things difficult for the guard, and then revealed the title of the storybook on the cover.

The prince's guard took a look and said, "Hmm, "The Domineering Prince and the Pretty Concubine".

Is it possible that such a storybook can still be sold in the private market?

Wait for a question.

The prince's guards walked away again, staggering.

Xie Chengze continued to read the contents of the storybook, and occasionally made a sound of sighing, "Oh, I didn't expect it, ah~ oh~"

The prince's guards who heard the sound secretly guessed that the second prince was like this because he might have seen something embarrassing.

Gee tut.

Perhaps it was because Xie Chengze performed too well that the guards in the county government office relaxed a lot. In addition, Xie Chengze had a broken rib, so even the prince's guards believed that Xie Chengze would not escape in the short term for the sake of his health.

Until one morning, he saw that the two people who usually kept watch had disappeared. His face suddenly changed and he rushed into the house. The room was already empty, with only a letter left on the wooden table.

On it was Xie Chengze's big ugly handwriting:

[We're going out for a few days~ We'll be back soon~ Don't complain, you don't want the prince to know that you've neglected your duty, right^_^~]

Prince's Guard: ???

His Royal Highness the Second Prince!!!

It was said that it would not be difficult for workers!!!

If you want to go, at least take me with you! I don't mind going on a business trip with you!

At the same time, Xie Chengze had already boarded the carriage and was on his way to Pingcheng.

The eldest, second and third daughter came along. Listening to Xie Chengze's plan, third daughter couldn't help but chuckle, "Oh, this is a really interesting idea. Only the second prince could come up with it."

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to call me the Second Prince. Just call me nephew like my uncle." Xie Chengze smiled. He was no longer the Second Prince nor the Regent. Although he still called himself the King to the guards, Sanniang was the wife of the boss, so there was no need for him to be so polite.

Sanniang was not polite and shouted openly, "Okay~ nephew~"

After that, he smiled and said, "According to what my nephew said, don't you need to change your clothes? The clothes you are wearing now are too plain!"

Xie Chengze tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Isn't it normal for a fortune teller to dress plainly?"

Sanniang stretched out her index finger and shook it, shaking her head and saying, "No, no, no~ You can't be a fortune teller."

You have to be the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
