After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 53 The Chance of Returning to Beijing

She has said all this, so there is no reason for Cao Chengmo to leave. If he leaves, he will probably be drowned by the spit of the people in Jizhou.

"Master Wei, I would like to help Lord Wei rebuild Jizhou together."

Wei Xingzhi hooked his lips, "Master Cao has great righteousness, and I am grateful for the people of Jizhou. Then Master Cao took Xue Keqing to see if there are any survivors in the severely flooded areas of Jizhou, and then search for useful ones." things and food."

Cao Chengmo: You are really welcome.

"The subordinate takes orders."

After everyone withdrew, Zhou Han leaned on the back of his chair and pouted at Wei Xingzhi like a second generation ancestor, "Then what should I do?"

"Rest." Wei Xingzhi said two words lightly, slid down and lay down on the bed to rest with his eyes closed.

She has never been a desperate Sanniang. With the current physical condition of her and Zhou Han, if she insists on going out to find something for herself, it will only make the injury worse and cause trouble for everyone.

It would be better to recuperate well, and the outside affairs will be arranged, and Qin Changbai will be relieved to watch her.

Besides, those golden guards were not all disliked by her like Wu Haichang, like Zhang Yuan and Gao Cheng, who were both from bandits, and they also admired such a strong woman like her from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Han slumped on the chair and sighed faintly. The thing he hated the most since he was a child was getting injured. He was just a wild monkey who couldn't sit still.

Half of the reason why Wei Xingzhi is so rough... is because of him.

Zhou Han glanced at Wei Xingzhi a few times, and saw that her eyes were closed, her breathing was even, and she was about to get up on tiptoe.

"Lie down on the recliner and sleep obediently, otherwise, I'll send someone to send you back to the imperial city right now." Wei Xingzhi didn't open his eyes, and opened his thin lips lightly.

Zhou Han withdrew his feet awkwardly, pulled the blanket beside him to cover his body, lay on the recliner and stared at the roof boredly.

……

The sky is fine, the rainy day seems to have passed completely, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is clear, the golden sunlight penetrates the clouds, as if the dryness is filtered by gauze, and in the deep summer, it is covered with cicadas singing and covering every inch of land in Jizhou.

After Qin Changbai came out of the Ganqi county government office, many people surrounded him.

He looked around, and through the gap, he saw that the corpses around the government office had been cleaned up at some point.

There were occasional bloodstains on the ground, but because they were carefully washed, they faded a lot.

'Plop—'Hundreds of people surrounding the government office knelt on the ground one after another.

Qin Changbai frowned slightly, they hadn't lost their food in the past few days, what are they doing here now?
Niu Tiegen, who had brought Wei Xingzhi up the mountain earlier, said with red eyes, "Thanks to all the lords, Caomin, if not for you, Caomin and others would have died long ago."

He watched with his own eyes that Wei Xingzhi was almost taken to the bottom of the cliff in order to stop the rock on the top of the mountain.

He also watched Wei Xingzhi fight the enemy with his own eyes when he was seriously injured.

He even watched Wei Xingzhi being stabbed in the abdomen by the enemy, spitting blood and still standing in front of the people without retreating half a step.

And she killed the corrupt official Yan You, ordered Sun Bingkun and Li Zhongjing to be imprisoned, gave them food, and donated all her dowry to ask for disaster relief in Jizhou.

People's hearts are full of flesh. When everyone abandoned them, this woman in red stood up, not for personal gain, but for the common people.

Niu Tiegen kowtowed heavily to Qin Changbai, "Master Qin, we want to know how Master Wei is doing now, and we want to thank her, because she saved Jizhou and our common people."

"Yes, Master Qin, you just need to tell us how Master Wei is doing, so that we can rest assured."

"We heard that Mr. Wei is unconscious. My ancestor is a doctor. Let me go in and see Mr. Wei."

The common people pleaded with Qin Changbai in a hurry, with genuine worry on their faces.

Qin Changbai clasped his hands in his sleeves, just now he suspected that these people were disturbed by gathering here at the moment, but now seeing these people who were homeless due to the heavy rain kneeling here, begging for an unrelated person, in his heart Moved.

His lips twitched, and after a while, he walked towards an old man with his hands, and helped him up on the ground, "Don't worry, Mrs. Wei is awake, but she is seriously injured and unable to get up. When she gets better, she will come out and rebuild your home with everyone in person."

"As for the food, you don't have to worry about it. The emperor has issued an order to borrow food and troops from Handan. Cao Jun is selfless and personally came to Jizhou to help. As long as we work together, Jizhou will recover in less than three months."

Qin Changbai's voice was soft, but with undeniable firmness.

The people lowered their heads and wiped their tears, "It's good that Master Wei wakes up, it's good when he wakes up..."

Qin Changbai curled his lips slightly, "Jizhou is a large land with severe flooding, and we are not very familiar with the terrain, so we will ask our parents and folks to help us more in the future. Lord Wei has an order, and the weather is fine today, and Ganqi County will be repaired first, so that the elderly, weak, women and children Hold on, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Niu Tiegen said with red eyes, "I am willing to contribute. As a man, I cannot be so useless."

"I would too!"

"Master Qin, we all listen to you and Master Wei!"

In just one day, Qin Changbai and Qiusheng led the common people and Jin Wei to rectify Ganqi County, and it almost took on a new look.

The washed-out villages were filled with water, and Qin Changbai rebuilt and built them one by one according to the engineering drawing, diverting the water inside to the adjacent river, and then building the canal and dam route according to the drawing to circle the scope of the reservoir.

Nearly a million people in Jizhou did not complain, let alone sit and wait to die, but did what they could do within their ability.

Women wash clothes and cook, men move stones to build houses, and older children rely on their familiarity with the terrain to lead Cao Chengmo to search for supplies.

At the end of the day, I also found a lot of usable tools. After the water in some villages was drawn out, there were even a lot of food sealed in the warehouse, and I also saw a lot of bodies that were drowned or stuck before they could escape. .

Cao Chengmo ordered Xue Ting to have the corpses properly placed in the open space near Ganqi County, and to claim them when they are free.

Xue Ting, a Confucian official, was carrying the sundries with his sleeves rolled up at the moment, feeling a little angry in his heart, "Sir, we can obviously return to Handan with the help of soldiers and food, why should we listen to Wei Xingzhi's orders..."

Cao Chengmo was also doing hard work, and he gave him a sudden sideways glance, "This is my chance, if you can't grasp it, it will be very difficult to meet again."

"Fate?" Xue Ting put down the miscellaneous stones in his hand, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Did you come to Ganqi County to return to Beijing?"

Cao Chengmo's eyes moved slightly, and he sneered, "Naturally."

When the first emperor was alive, he was a senior official of the third rank in the court. At that time, he was full of ambitions and wanted to make great achievements in the court, but once he was framed and sent to Handan, he was only a small county guard.

But so what, at first Handan was not much stronger than Jizhou, and under his jurisdiction, it was getting better day by day. He thought that in this way, the emperor would be able to see his achievements and transfer him back to Beijing.

But before returning to Beijing, the first emperor passed away.Things are changing in an instant in the court, and the biggest variable is Wei Xingzhi, a girl.

Seeing him today, he was even more sure that Wei Xingzhi was also a variable for him!
