Rebirth of the Imperial Examination: The Empress of the Impoverished Family

Jiang Jin didn't know if it was his own illusion.

Stepping into the entrance of the village from the team, some urchins ran away with a pale face when they spotted them.

He still shouted, "Here comes the house demolisher."

Jiang Jin: ...

Her reputation as a jerk wouldn't spread so far, would it?
Jiang Ling explained with a smile, so that Jiang Jin needn't worry too much, "We're just here to check if there are any dangerous houses, and you also know that if the water is too big and it really doesn't block it, this area will be the first to be hit by the disaster."

He let out a "huh", "Father said that sometimes the water may be bigger and nothing will happen, but if the house collapses, people may really die."

After he finished explaining, he happened to arrive at a family.

This family probably heard that they were coming, so they opened the door early and waited in the yard.

The old woman in the yard hugged a half-tall child, hunched over and shouted, "My lord".

Jiang Ling didn't say anything.

As soon as he raised his hand, the three yamen behind him stepped forward.

"Kang Bang Bang" a few kicks, kicking on the wall of the house continuously, and then entering the house, looking up at the tiles carefully.

Jiang Ling was not idle either, and asked the old woman kindly, "Grandma, don't be afraid, we're just looking at the house."

He took out the account book in a businesslike manner, and began to check the population. After matching, he asked, "Does the family have a boat?"

"Yes." The old woman didn't say much, and motioned to the grandson in her arms to lead the elder brother Yachai to look.

After a meal, he came out and shook his head at Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling nodded to understand, and then told the old woman, "Tomorrow there will be government servants leading people to repair the canal. We need to keep people at home, and the rainy season is coming. Don't let the baby play in the pit."

The old woman nodded repeatedly before sending them away like a plague god.

Jiang Jin remained silent the whole time, she smacked her tongue as she watched.

She could still understand their behavior, but she couldn't figure out this somewhat rough behavior.

"Cousin, there is nothing wrong with this one, and it has no effect."

As if seeing something novel, Jiang Ling excitedly walked to another house, "This one is fine."

He knocked on the door impatiently, but he didn't recognize him, so he yelled, "For inspection by the government, open the door!"

He shouted fiercely, but when he talked to Jiang Jin, he was friendly, "Since we entered the village, these villagers will have received news. Most of them will have some problems if they stay behind closed doors like this."

He thought for a while and said, "However, it's not a big problem."

With a "boom", Jiang Ling was interrupted.

Jiang Ling frowned, "It's okay, the problem is not..."

There was another "bang".

The closed door in the courtyard opened a crack, and a bright hoe stuck out.

Jiang Ling lost his temper completely.

"Kick away."

After getting the order, the Yacha went straight forward and kicked open the door panel that was already crumbling. Without saying a word, he entered the room and held down the person who was struggling to resist.

The woman on the side turned pale with fright.

Jiang Ling still had a business-like attitude. Even if the owner of the family didn't cooperate with a set of procedures, he still got the job done.

"The side room on the left needs to be reinforced and repaired. The side room of the main house leaks to varying degrees. There is a boat at home, but it is too dilapidated and needs to be repaired. There are no children at home, but adults are also forbidden to take a bath at the river mouth to wash clothes recently."

The man who was pinned to the ground didn't expect that the government officials would come to the village just for this matter, and blushed, "I see, can you let me go?"

The woman on the side is also pleading.

Jiang Ling waved his hand to signal to let people go, "Tomorrow, repair it as soon as possible, our people will come to check, if it can't be repaired, we don't mind asking you to live in the yamen."

Hearing this, the faces of the two turned pale again.

"How is it possible in one day?" The man's lips twitched, "If it could be repaired, I would have repaired it long ago. It's the same with the straw covering. Sir, please let us go."

The man was about to kneel as he spoke, but he was stopped by the Yacha.

"Tomorrow, when the team comes to repair the canal, they will bring tiles and bricks. However, these need to be exchanged for labor, do you understand?"

The man thought for a while before turning the corner, but the woman at the side agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Ling didn't say any more, and took the people out.

Both grace and grace.

He just needs to sing the red-faced part well.

Jiang Jin also fully understood.

Today's actions are the foundation for tomorrow.

The houses of the people need to be repaired, and the ditches in the fields need to be repaired.

Such a combination is fast and labor-saving, and it will not end up complaining all over.

"Cousin, it's mainly these jobs." Jiang Ling gave her an account book and a government servant. Just ask him if there is anything you don’t understand.”

Holding the account book in his hand, Jiang Jin stared blankly at Jiang Ling's handsome back waving away.

Is this kid plotting against her?
"Master Jin?"

When Jiang Jin came back to his senses, he looked at Brother Yacha with a flattering smile.

"We don't have many families in the west. If we hurry up, we can finish work in the afternoon."

"Okay." Jiang Jin roughly glanced at the account book, "Brother, Qingshan will help, you take him more, we can make it faster."

……

Things are going fairly well.

Jiang Jin didn't encounter anything too difficult.

The village households in the west are all in the back, maybe they have heard what they are going to do, so everyone is very cooperative.

Some houses lacking tiles even volunteered to report, explaining that they will repair the canals and replace the tiles together tomorrow.

After walking around so quickly, it was just after noon.

When Jiang Jin and his party were walking back, they happened to meet Jiang Ling who was coming back.

It seems that everyone is going well.

"Here, I have marked the details in the account book, so you should be able to understand."

"Thank you, cousin."

After Jiang Ling collected the account book, he hurried back.

He seems to have something to do this afternoon.

Back to the shack by the dam.

Jiang Ling naturally took out two large pancakes from the temporary stove, and handed one to Jiang Jin and Qing Shan.

"It's past noon, and there's no food left. Eat these first. If there's not enough, there's still in the kitchen."

After he finished speaking, he took a bite of the pie himself, "The shack is my father's study, and you can rest here."

Before Jiang Ling could finish speaking, a small laborer called him from afar.

He turned his head and shouted, "Come right now!"

Hastily ate another mouthful of biscuits, and simply stuffed the remaining half into the skirt of his shirt, "Cousin, you rest first, call me if you have something to do, I'll go first!"

Jiang Jin nodded quickly.

It's only been a long time since she's been here, and Jiang Ling has given him a great impact.

She looked at the pancake in her hand, it was a bit hard, the dry edges were blown by the wind, it was hard to chew after taking a bite, and she groaned when she swallowed it.

Why does it taste so delicious just looking at Jiang Ling...

"Is this what Jiang Ling eats all the time?" Jiang Jin asked the servant next to him.

Ya almost nodded, "The master and the young master are often busy outside, and they can't catch up with the meal, so they often bring these dry food."

He smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm in a hurry, there's nothing I can do. If you can't eat it, Young Master Jin, soak it in some hot water and it will soften."

Jiang Jin refused.

She took another bite of the pancake. It seemed that Jiang Ling had really changed.

This is a good thing.
