Rebirth of the noble daughter

Chapter 398 409. Pond Transport
A businessman can't get up early without profit. This sentence really makes sense when applied to Chizi Motou.

Since the establishment of the Chiyun Chamber of Commerce, he has been so busy that his feet never touch the ground.

Although the influence of the Chi family on the southwest boundary is not as great as that in Jinling City, as long as the name of the Chi family is reported, those people have to think highly of it.

The fast boat they took when they came was docked at a bank in the lower reaches of the Luoshui River.

When Chi Zimo brought people over to check, he happened to meet Qiao Shanwei and Xu Lin, and they were leading the people to deal with the Luo River bank.

"Young Master Qiao, it's really a good skill."

However, in more than half a month, this Luohe has taken on a completely new look, and it is not as miserable as it was when he first came here. This Qiao Shanwei is indeed a talent.

"Patriarch Chi is being polite."

Qiao Shanwei now devotes all his attention to flood control, and has nothing else to think about.

The same is true for Chi Zimo, although both of them have some affection for Feng Jinyao, but some people are destined not to belong to them, and the two of them can understand this point, so they simply put aside the little love thoughts in their hearts, Concentrate on the present.

"What is Patriarch Chi doing here today?"

"Looking at this location, Mr. Chi thinks that this place has a wide view and flat ground, which is very suitable for river transportation."

After finishing speaking, he took out the blueprints that he had prepared, and started talking to Qiao Shanwei about his future plans based on this place.

Qiao Shanwei didn't know much about river transportation, but he had a quick mind, so from time to time he was able to suggest some ideas for the construction of Chi Zimo's wharf.

It made Chi Zimo look at him even more with admiration.

"It's a pity, Mr. Qiao will probably go on the road of official career in the future, otherwise you and I will join hands, and the river transport of the Great Jin Dynasty will definitely be invincible!"

Chi Zimo didn't boast easily, but Qiao Shanwei was younger than Chi Lingyou, but he was much more mature and prudent in thinking about things.

Qiao Shanwei smiled, if he was just the son of Qiao's family, he would definitely agree to Chi Zimo's invitation.

But he is also a son of the Bai family. Feng Jinyao has paved the way for him so far, and there is no turning back, so he can only go back to the Bai family.

"Patriarch Chi's good intentions are well kept in his heart. Whether in the officialdom or in the business world, there is no telling when he will have the opportunity to cooperate with the Chi family again. At that time, Patriarch Chi will live up to what he said today."

Chi Zimo looked at Qiao Shanwei's eyes that were gradually deepening, and secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.

At a young age, he has a vixen's temper, and when he grows up, he is afraid that he will not lose the mind of King Ding.

He didn't agree, just said something lightly.

"Then Chi will be waiting for Mr. Qiao."

After saying this, the two changed the topic and continued to talk about the construction of the pier.

Now that the wharf is set up, it is natural to need some inns, restaurants, and peddlers, but these are still for later.

Shuzhou is going all out to rebuild after the disaster. When the news reached the Eastern Capital, it was already early July.

When Emperor Qi heard that there were floods and earthquakes in the southwest, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land were destroyed and the people were displaced, he was immediately furious.

Above the court, Wei Guogong and other people began to retaliate against Feng's family by taking advantage of this incident.

Wen's family and Feng's family are related by marriage, if Wen's family were to fall this time, then Feng's family would naturally be inseparable.

Therefore, arrange the people who give advice in advance.

"Your Majesty, as the magistrate of Shuzhou, Mr. Wen has been in Shuzhou for decades. How can he be so careless about the flood? Since we know that this year is not good and it is raining continuously, why don't we take precautions in advance? There are many checks and reinforcements on the dikes and dams on weekdays, so why do they collapse when they are flushed now? This has caused the people to live in dire straits!"

"That's right! Although this time is a natural disaster, Mr. Wen, as a parent and official, failed to protect the people under his hands. He deserves to be punished for his crime!"

A group of people were so angry that if Wen Zhonghe was there, everyone would be drowned by their spittle.

Feng Hai, Bai Chao'an, and Feng Jinxu were also in the court, and their hearts skipped a beat when they heard the fierce speeches of those adults.

Especially Feng Jinxu, he wrote the book early and sent the news to his father-in-law. With his behavior and vigilance in doing things, I am afraid that he has enough food. What a state of starvation.

From the looks of it, the news was not accurate.

Feng Hai and Wen Zhonghe are in-laws, and most people in the court know that, now they all look at Feng Hai, just wanting to see how he will react?

It's a pity that Feng Hai didn't show any anxious reaction, but kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, quietly guarding his duty as a courtier.

Emperor Qi sat high on the dragon chair, and all the expressions of the officials were in his eyes.

He didn't have much impression of Wen Zhonghe, but the official food and annual tribute paid by the Southwest were very punctual every year. Among these states and counties in Dajin, they were neither considered the richest, but they were not bad either.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with keeping him in Shuzhou for so many years.

Who knew it would be such a big mess this time!
He really failed his trust in the past!

So she asked Feng Hai in a serious tone, "Feng Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

The inside and outside words seem to have connected Wen Zhonghe and Feng Hai together. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, it is only a matter of one sentence to get involved.

Feng Hai is calm and composed, he has been in the court for decades, it is not that he has not been suspected by Emperor Qi.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I also think that your lords are very reasonable."

"Oh?"

This opening made the people who advised just now suddenly lose the target of attack, as if they were about to punch out with their fists, but the opponent just lay flat and let them be slaughtered, and they were immediately discouraged.

Including Emperor Qi, they didn't expect how he would react, and they didn't know how to answer the words.

Feng Hai had already guessed that they were going to say this, so he avoided it when he came up, and then continued to speak calmly.

"Although there is an earthquake in the southwestern part of the country, I feel that it is not entirely a bad thing. At least through this incident, I can see the loyalty of the adults in the DPRK and China to the Jin Dynasty and the protection of the people. I feel that the adults are so indignant. , I will definitely come up with an excellent way to go to the Southwest to help with disaster relief and reconstruction. So I hereby assure you, as long as you are willing to go to the Southwest, the Household Department will support you with all your strength!"

His words made everyone shut up.

Especially those who were the loudest just now, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Floods and earthquakes, who knows if there will be other disasters.

If this trip can be done, it will be good, but if it can't be done, wouldn't it be ridiculous to even lay your life on the southwest?

So, how loud you were just now, how quiet you are when you shut up now.
