997 The Flood Recedes

As long as the downstream is unblocked as soon as possible, nothing will happen.

Seeing the flood of Jiupan River rushing towards Yunteng River, Su Jinxia and Zhao Ziqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, we can have a good sleep when we go back."

In the past few days, he can only rest for two hours a day, and so does Su Jinxia who has been with him all the time.

Seeing everyone is exhausted now.

Zhao Ziqi glanced at Su Jinxia and said.

Hearing this, Su Jinxia nodded and followed Zhao Ziqi back the same way.

Back at the county government office, Su Jinxia took a hot bath, had a meal, greeted Zhao Ziqi, and lay down on the bed.

As soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep.

This time, Su Jinxia slept soundly and slept for seven full hours.

Sleep from mid-afternoon to the next morning.

After waking up, Su Jinxia simply washed up and went out.

But as soon as she went out, she only heard noises coming from outside, Su Jinxia was puzzled, and waited to go to the study.

I saw Zhao Ziqi in black clothes, staring at several documents and sorting them out.

"What's the commotion outside?"

As soon as he came in, he saw Zhao Ziqi's face was calm, and he ignored the noise outside.

Su Jinxia asked.

Hearing her question, Zhao Ziqi raised his head, glanced at her, saw that she was in good spirits, and asked, "Did you rest because of the noise? I'll ask someone to drive her away."

"Who are the people outside? How can you drive them away?"

Hearing what Zhao Ziqi said, Su Jinxia shook her head lightly, expressing that she was not disturbed.

Walked over, sat down, and continued to ask Zhao Ziqi.

Hearing her question, Zhao Ziqi came out from behind the desk, sat next to Su Jinxia, ​​and said, "It's the people in the county. I heard that we repelled the flood, so come and thank us."

Early this morning, the floods in various parts of Ningwu County had almost receded.

Somehow word got around that they had blasted the valley.

Now the people in the county are waiting at the gate of the county government office to give thanks.

Hearing this, Su Jinxia smiled, "There's no need to drive them away, just let them make trouble, I guess it should stop in the evening."

The people are now grateful for their life-saving grace, and it is not good to drive them away.

Besides, now that they had time to be here to thank them, at night they would be busy with their own livelihoods.

After all, the flood brought them a lot of losses.

"I decided to write a letter to the capital, recommending Master Yan to be the magistrate of Ningwu County. What do you think?"

Hearing what Su Jinxia said, Zhao Ziqi nodded in agreement.

Not mentioning this anymore, Zhao Ziqi changed the subject immediately and asked about Su Jinxia.

After hearing this, Su Jinxia was taken aback, and said, "Okay, he is a good choice."

In the past few days, Master Yan has been busy with them.

Although the ability is not very outstanding, it is enough to have a heart that thinks about the people and works hard.

Besides, the ability to command a county is not the most important thing.

"Well, wait for my handwritten letter to be delivered to the capital, and then we will go out to have a look tonight, and we will return to Xuanzhou Mansion tomorrow morning."

After the flood comes disaster relief.

The floods caused considerable losses to various southern state capitals.

Therefore, the disaster relief project in the future is the top priority of his trip to the south.

Hearing Zhao Ziqi's arrangement, Su Jinxia naturally had no reason to object, she nodded and agreed.

But they planned well, but at noon, a piece of news gave them another headache.

"The second prince is coming here, what are you doing here at this time? Do you want to seize the fruits of our labor?"
