Chapter 13 The daughter returns home

"This prince is here under the orders of the saint to provide relief and pacify the hungry people. How to properly resettle the refugees is what your governor's office should do. Has Lord Yu never thought about it?" Mu Zhao stared at Yu Shou with sharp eyes. I wish I could lower my head to my chest.

Mu Zhao almost laughed at this man's stupidity.

"Do you still need this prince to teach you step by step?"

"What have you been doing for so many days? Why didn't you issue the government order? The refugees outside the city are all housed in wooden sheds with ventilation on all sides. Do you want to freeze them alive so that you can improve your political performance?"

"Your Majesty ordered your Weizhou Mansion to take in these refugees. Now that a large number of people have arrived, have you not carefully planned and imagined what to do in the future?"

"In your territory of Weizhou Prefecture, there is so much wasteland in the lower and middle counties. You would rather leave it alone than let the refugees cultivate it?"

"Brother, brother, please don't get too excited." Mu Feng hurriedly handed over the tea cup and glared at Jade Governor, "Jade Governor, you need to pay more attention to the resettlement of the refugees. Don't worry about everything. My elder brother will take care of it. He is not in good health and cannot be too tired. Being able to come to the town on this trip has already been a big help to you!"

"Yes, yes, the young master is absolutely right." Yu Shoudao wiped his sweat frequently, his mind a mess.

Seeing that Mu Shizi was a little angry, Lu Qian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Yu, you have heard what the prince said just now. The most urgent task is to issue a government order to appease people's hearts. The second step is to order the scribes to send orders to nearby counties within a time limit. All wasteland in the town was quickly sorted out.”

"The Guannan Road area is flooded, and the nearby states and counties have almost no harvest this year. These people finally escaped here, and if you send them all back, wouldn't you tell them to go back and wait to die?"

"Although there are many refugees, they are also an opportunity for you. If you can properly resettle them and open up all the wasteland, you may be able to double your Weizhou Prefecture's food harvest next autumn."

"So in the third step, you ask the chief scribe in the mansion to formulate a preferential treatment policy, such as the number of people in the family, how much wasteland will be reclaimed, and how many fields can be allocated. For example, some land taxes can be appropriately reduced or reduced within the scope allowed by the court."

What Yu Shoudao said in these two or three steps was like an enlightenment. His eyes lit up, as if he saw the great achievements in the coming year. He nodded hurriedly and saluted, muttered, turned and left.

Mu Feng couldn't help rolling his eyes and complaining, "This Lord Governor is really amazing. He recited what Brother Xiwen said all the way. He really doesn't have any other ideas."

"I don't know how he got the position of governor. No wonder he has been stationary for more than ten years without any sign of promotion. He is really a stupid person!"

Mu Zhao was also speechless, "It's hard for Lu Xiwen to tell him in one, two or three steps. He really wanted to feed the food into the mouth of Jade Governor."

Lu Qian coughed lightly and said, "Didn't I see that you were angry? Governor Jade was too confused to understand what you meant."

"That's right, Brother Xiwen is thoughtful. Hey, brother, don't get angry with such fools. When the food arrives tomorrow, you will have to be busy. Go and rest now."

Weizhou Governor's Office

As soon as the concierge opened the door, he saw Grandma Hu staggering in. She quickly stretched out her hand to support her and said "Hey yo yo".

"Mommy, what's going on?"

Aunt Hu felt that they had experienced a lot of hardships and hardships along the way, and when they finally arrived at the door of their home, she really wanted to find someone to hold her head and cry.

"Quick, go and inform Madam, Miss Yu is here to pick her up."

The concierge couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this, thinking that he would bring her back as soon as he came back. Seeing how grandma looked like this, he thought he was bringing back some important daughter of a family and causing such a big fuss.

In fact, she is just a farm girl raised in a village.

The porter stretched his neck and looked outside, only to see the carriage parked quietly beside it, with no one getting out. He said, "Madam has given instructions before. If this young lady comes back, she should be led directly in to see Madam without disturbing the old lady or others."

"Why don't you get down yet?" She actually wanted Yu Linlang to get off the car and enter by herself.

Aunt Hu glared at him and said, "Quickly remove the threshold and let the carriage in."

The concierge still thinks that Miss Yu is a good master? If you annoy people, let that ferocious girl come over and beat them in the street!

Her old lady had been beaten several times along the way, and now she just wanted to leave her safely in the hands of the madam, which could be regarded as a job.

What's more, this Chongyuanfang Street is full of people, and it is also a place where many officials and family members gather. If there is really a commotion, it will be their governor's office that will be ugly!
The concierge was pushed by the nanny. Although he was reluctant, he still obeyed.

When the carriage entered the house and stopped, Aunt Hu quickly ran forward with a smile on her face and said, "Miss Yu, we have sent someone to inform Madam, and we will go to Madam's Yuchun Garden to see the ceremony later."

The setting sun is gilded and the cold wind is blowing.

Yu Linlang slowly got out of the car, holding Jiujin's hand, and her eyes fell on the huge mansion.

The porter and all the servants were also curious to check the lady's expression.

I thought that when such a mansion with carved beams, golden walls and jade was presented in front of me, I would be able to see some surprise on her face, but unexpectedly, Miss Yu's face was expressionless and unmoved at all.

It seemed that everything in front of her had nothing to do with her. This plain-looking Miss Jade didn't seem to show any timidity, which was very different from the foolish woman in the village they imagined.

"Aunt Hu, why did you arrive just now?"

"Madam has been sending people to keep an eye on the door for the past two days. She is waiting for the young lady to come home morning and night." A hearty laugh came, and a nimble-looking woman in green appeared at the second door, leading two beautiful little maids. Come forward.

"You old woman, were you lazy on the road?"

"Hey, sister, don't make fun of me. How dare you, old lady? The road is really crowded with homeless people and the traffic is not smooth."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Yu Linlang and smiled flatteringly, "Miss Yu, this is Madam Zhao's dowry."

Yu Linlang nodded slightly to express her understanding.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Aunt Zhao was startled and hurriedly smiled, "Miss, you must be tired after traveling all the way. It's okay, the room has been prepared for you, and you can go and rest after meeting our wife."

"Lead the way." Yu Linlang coldly interrupted Nanny Zhao's greetings and signaled her to stop talking nonsense and just lead the way.

Aunt Zhao was a little embarrassed by her unpretentious appearance. She recovered a little and smiled coquettishly, "Okay, Miss, please come this way."

The two of them walked all the way across the hall and towards the Yuchun Garden of Huo, the governor's wife, with Aunt Hu leading a group of girls following closely behind.

Gradually, Nanny Zhao felt something was different.

She looked at Miss Jade, who had been raised in the countryside since she was a child. She was not at all as petty as they imagined. Instead, she walked calmly and orderly, without squinting or hurrying, and was extremely dignified and elegant.
