The little girl of the general's house

Chapter 627
"Haha, what you mean by this is that you are threatening Entubao?"

"No, it's just that I have some confidence, hahaha."

After the two of them said these few words, they fell silent.

After a while, Li Yujiao suddenly heard Qi Zhan asking, "Look there, do you know what it is?"

"Where?" Li Yujiao turned to look at Qi Zhan, saw him pointing in a direction, and looked over.

Because of the distance, I can't see what it is, but I can see a blue-black barrier winding for tens of miles.

"What is that?" Li Yujiao asked.

"Taixi Weir is the sea defense dam here."

"It turned out to be a dam," Li Yujiao said with a smile, "That's to prevent the seawater from rushing ashore. It must be very high and strong."

It was Qi Zhan's cold voice that answered Li Yujiao.

Li Yujiao couldn't help turning her head to look up at Qi Zhan, just meeting his drooping eyes in mid-air.

I only heard Qi Zhan's irony: "It's not high, it's not strong. It's very dilapidated, very old, and very unbearable. When the tide rises, the seawater floods back, not only the saltworks are damaged, but wherever the seawater goes, the houses are submerged and the crops are flooded." There is no harvest, and the refugees have no home to return to."

"How could this be? If it's just fishermen living here, I...maybe I can understand it, but the salt field set up by the government is also here. According to what you said just now, the loss would be heavy."

"Floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Qi River continue, and the Taixi tide disaster also causes heavy losses. The imperial court allocates a large sum of money for disaster relief every year, but the Taixi Weir is still dilapidated, and some people's pockets are getting fatter."

Li Yujiao pursed her lips: "I don't understand things in the officialdom, but it's unreasonable for people to be greedy for such money for saving lives and disasters, my son..."

Li Yujiao stood up suddenly, looking at Qi Zhan with anticipation in her eyes: "My lord, you must get well soon, and then bring those corrupt officials to justice, so that we can save you in vain. "

Qi Zhan thought that he was the only one here worrying about the country and the people, but suddenly he saw a woman in front of him who was also filled with righteous indignation, and his mood suddenly improved.

He smiled and said, "That won't work. You guys saved me, and I will give you the rewards you deserve. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I already said that."

"Huh? When did you say that, while I was asleep?"

"No, just now, it is enough for the prince to catch those corrupt officials. Salt is precious, and the price is high, but the people here, even most of them, live a life that is not as good as ours in Feiyun Village. Grass."

Li Yujiao turned her head to look at the small dilapidated house that could only barely shelter from the wind and rain: "She also lived a very hard life."

"The villages near the salt field are indeed not as good as other places. They are mainly criminals and refugees. Presumably the Xiaocao family was sent here because of their crimes. The naturalized kitchen residents are not allowed to move at will or engage in other industries. Not to change the loan, not to take the imperial examination, this is her life."

However, Qi Zhan's style of painting suddenly changed: "But Xiaocao is still different. Who told her to save this son? After finishing this matter, I will take her back to Beijing. In the future, I will be under the protection of Prince Yu's mansion." She, she won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

"Xiaocao will be very happy to know."

"Well, we have to find a way to make the people here happy."

Li Yujiao nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Qi Zhan again. This prince who looks like a dude on the surface actually cares about the world and the people.
