What is love?

They just want love from each other.

Xu Zhiyan hugged Li Wenjin tightly and sighed softly, "Look, no matter how long we haven't seen each other, as long as you give me a hug and say you love me when we meet again, all the waiting will be worth it."

[The greatest value a lover can provide is emotional value. As long as you think of such a person, nothing seems to be difficult. 】

Xu Zhiyan's straightforward expression made Li Wenjin feel warm in her heart, and she hugged him and connected with her emotionally.

She warmly cooperated with his intimacy, but her thoughts were far away.

[Things are already so busy before things even begin. If there are rebellions, wars, natural and man-made disasters, etc., wouldn’t it mean that we are going to be as busy as a top? No, I have to make up for it first. 】

[There are so many prescriptions to make up, so you have to choose the right one. 】

She focused on the tonic, but Li Wenjin noticed the things she listed, and her heart tightened, and the hand holding her tightened a lot. She cried out in pain, "Too hard!"

The coquettish tone made him wake up from a dream.

"I'm sorry, Nannan, I'm just obsessed with the recent natural and man-made disasters."

【What happened so soon? 】

"What kind of natural or man-made disaster?"

During the Song Dynasty, private houses occupied official ditches frequently. During the rainy season, sewage could not be drained out, and houses often flooded. However, the water would disappear when the rain stopped, so no one cared about it.

But this year, meteorological officials predict that there will be heavy rainstorms in Yangzhou Prefecture as summer turns to autumn.

If the ditch is still blocked, it will not only be a problem of rising water levels, but many diseases will also spread quickly.

"In the case of official ditch occupation, I want to open the official ditch to prevent houses from being flooded and prevent the spread of diseases."

Xu Zhiyan nodded thoughtfully.

"It is indeed worth doing, but the fact that this kind of thing has existed for such a long time means that it is difficult to deal with. Maybe you can find some officials to deal with it together."

She subconsciously listed several officials in her mind.

[These are all famous Ming officials in later generations. Unfortunately, they have not improved at this time. It is not easy for me to directly mention them to Brother Wen Jin. It will be over if they are misunderstood as supporting one of my own. 】

She didn't know much about the imperial court, but she knew that too much exposure to some things would be bad.

Unexpectedly, Li Wenjin seemed to have a mental connection with her. She opened her mouth and called out a few names. Most of them coincided with the officials she remembered. She was pleasantly surprised and a little surprised.

"Brother Wen Jin, many of the officials you mentioned have only been in office for three years. There are so many talented people in the court, why would you think of them?"

"The length of the term does not represent ability. I have gotten to know most of the officials and they are very suitable for this job."

Xu Zhiyan was easily fooled.

"It is not easy to get people to give up official positions. I suggest a combination of rewards and punishments. For example, those who voluntarily give up their official positions should be given appropriate rewards, and those who are unwilling to give up should take coercive measures, such as sending them to jail for a few days. "

"There is no need to arrest all the disobedient people, just some typical ones."

It is always difficult to deal with interests.

Li Wenjin nodded to express that he understood, and when he officially started to deal with the matter, he specially brought Xu Zhiyan over to see the scene.

As they expected, many people were unwilling.

"Why should we let it out? The fundamental concern of the imperial court is people's livelihood. Many people have already built houses. To return the official ditch, we have to demolish the houses. The loss is too great. I suggest that the imperial court move the official ditch and dig it again." One piece!"

This statement was echoed by many people, and Zhang Wushuang, one of the officials sent to deal with the matter, showed no expression on his face. "The official ditch was already there. You illegally occupied the official ditch and violated the laws of the Song Dynasty. His Highness is wise and will not hold you accountable. He only asks you to release the occupied position. This is very kind and does not allow you to bargain!"

Some people play the good role, and some people must play the bad role.

Another official stood next to Zhang Wushuang with a smile.

"His Highness is not asking you to give up right away. As long as you give up within the specified time, we will give you certain rewards."

Xu Zhiyan lay on the window sill, looking at the people who were surrounding her on the third floor and the third floor below, sighing silently.

"Brother Wen Jin, I guess not many people will return it voluntarily after the first deadline is reached. You have to be prepared to arrest people. Well, you may even be scolded for being cruel."

Li Wenjin took Xu Zhiyan's arm and pulled her back to her seat.

"It's dangerous to lie down on it."

After making sure she was safe, he answered her.

"Changes are always accompanied by criticism. I just need to use the results to tell them that there is no problem with my decision-making."

Xu Zhiyan gave the person a thumbs up, "Your Highness is so courageous!"

Li Wenjin was amused by Xu Zhiyan's serious title, "It would be better for you to call me Brother Wenjin. It's a bit too strange to call me Your Highness."

"Okay, brother Wenjin."

In addition to her cheerful answer, Li Wenjin also heard another sound - a knock on the door.

Indicated to the servants to check.

Not long after, the servant came back to report, and after getting the answer, he brought in the person who knocked on the door. Xu Zhiyan knew this person, Jun Yueyi, who came to buy medicine a few days ago.

Jun Yueyi's face has improved a lot. As long as she doesn't touch anyone's face, basically no facial problems can be found.

"Miss Jun, your face looks much better."

She smiled even brighter when she heard this.

"I have to thank Sister Xu for the medicine. I heard that Sister Xu supports the return of Guangou. In order to repay Sister Xu, I stand firmly on Sister Xu's side. I have many family members of long-term workers living on this street. I just ordered them to be returned."

She said, motioning Xu Zhiyan to look outside again.

I saw that several families had already demolished their walls with hoes and hammers. They demolished and tidied up the extra walls within a stick of incense.

Li Wenjin waved his hand gently.

The servant understood, and immediately went down with the money bag, and distributed money on the spot to those who returned the money to Guangou. In this way, some people who were still hesitant at first had a choice, and happily smashed the wall to get money.

By the end of the night, half of the official workers had returned. This progress was something Xu Zhiyan never expected. She couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, no matter what, as long as someone takes the lead, it can be executed faster."

Xu Yanhe, who was looking at the account book, took the time to agree with her words.

"Indeed."

"It's just that the rest of it is definitely not that easy."

Xu Zhiyan understood that there were some who were obedient and some who were disobedient. "I'll go check it out tomorrow and see if there's anything I can do."

"I'll go with you."

Changchun Street is very chaotic now. Xu Yanhe was worried that Xu Zhiyan would get into trouble if she went alone, so he decided to go with her.
