After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 303

What is the problem?
Yun Zhuo looked at his expression, then nodded slightly, and said, "It's okay."

Ordinary food is naturally not as delicate as when it is cooked at home, but it is not unpalatable, not to mention that this is what she has been thinking about, and she has debated with Xie Jue. Wouldn't it be self-defeating if the son said it was not good to drink?

Yun Zhuo eats everything, but doesn't suffer.She was determined not to do such a thing.

Xie Jie smiled, and asked her again: "What did you want to say just now?"

There are only the two of them now, and the plane trees on both sides of the street are growing regardless. Looking around, there are canals criss-crossing in this town, and the boat Rob, and because it has not yet reached the border of the Southland, it is still surrounded by greenery. Surrounded by mountains, it has a bit of daily life in Kyoto.

Yun Zhuo suddenly remembered that when the two of them were in Kyoto, did they spend their lives on the streets so peacefully again?

No.There are many people in Kyoto, if they meet, they will mostly be in Xie Jie's mansion, or in the rotten stone building.

Yun Zhuo sighed.

Recently, she has been sighing a lot. During the trip to Beijing, too many things happened that she didn't expect.She didn't expect that she was actually interested in Xie Jie, and she didn't expect that the two would be called husband and wife along the way, and she even met his cousin as his wife.

She wanted to change this chaotic situation, but she didn't know where to start. Her heart was filled with powerlessness. Of course, she knew that the best way at present was to let nature take its course.But her nature is not soft and soft, she is the kind of person who wants to hold the initiative in her own hands.

But the reality made her helpless.

"Why are you sighing again for no reason?" Xie Jie also noticed her strangeness and asked with concern.

Yun Zhuo shook his head and said nothing.She even wanted to tell Xie Jie not to treat her so caringly.

She was afraid that she would like him more.

Day after day, this kind of liking will always be deeply rooted in people's hearts, and one day if you want to force yourself to stop seeing this person and draw a clear line with him, the pain will be tantamount to cutting out the bones and heart.

She pursed her lips, forced herself not to think about these things, and said to Xie Jie: "Do you not understand my words?"

She was referring to what she said at the porridge stall earlier.

She could not have said so much, but this matter was related to Xie Jie, but she couldn't let it go.

In her previous life, Xie Jie had always been by the emperor's side. She didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but he was always the dominant family in the court, but he had words and all officials were vassals.And such Xie Jie, how could it be possible for the ambitious Pei Yan to take advantage of it and return to the capital from Linyao?

It is because of the flood in the distance.

That was the second year after she married Pei Yan. Linyao is located in the lower reaches of the Wei River, and there was often rain in the area of ​​the Wei River that year. I thought that Linyao had built a dam early on, and it would be able to withstand the flood, but no. Thinking of the embezzlement of public funds by the officials responsible for building the embankments, they enriched their own pockets. Although the embankments were finally repaired, the materials used were of very low quality and could not withstand the impact of floods.

Unexpectedly, the flood flooded the fields and crops in Linyao.

Fortunately, although the flood was fierce, due to the obstruction of the upper reaches of the river, it only flooded the fields and crops. As for the houses in the city, there was no serious damage.

The emperor naturally handed over such important matters to Xie Jie.He asked Xie Jie to do two things. One was to help the victims and comfort the people, and the other was to find out the cause of the embankment destruction.

It's just that Xie Jie was too upright later.If you think about it, it is not so easy for a noble son who has always been aloof, even if he has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, to experience the hardships of the people's livelihood.

When he first arrived in Linyao, he asked his subordinates to count the number of victims, and then divided the disaster funds into three parts. One part was used to appease the victims, and the other part was used to buy food from 64 cities in the remaining eight counties to solve the people's livelihood. He plans to use the remaining share to repair bridges and roads.

After all, the flood was swift and fierce, and it came all the way with great momentum. It flooded everywhere it went, destroyed farms, washed away bridges and roads. Ditch, the flood accumulated in the city cannot be drained.Even if the victims are rescued, the disaster will not be alleviated, and it will only get worse.

But he can figure this out, but the people below can't figure it out.They only knew that the adults from Kyoto brought the silver taels for disaster relief, but they didn't use all of it on them.The last adult who came with money said that he wanted to build a dam for them to protect Linyao from floods. They honestly believed it, but they didn't expect to be deceived so hard after all.And this lord, who bears the emperor's order, also wants to embezzle disaster money!

Due to Pei Yan's ulterior guidance and indulgence, Xie Jie's residence was quickly besieged by the victims. Some courageous people even took weapons and tangled their hands and wanted to hit the door directly, insisting on asking Xie Jie for an explanation.

Xie Jie is unkind, and the guards under him are also cold-hearted and only accept his orders.He didn't say let it go, and the guards picked up the spears and swords in their hands and fought with the victims.

The effect is remarkable.

The troubled victims were frightened by the iron and blood skills displayed by Xie Jie's people, and they dared not step forward.

But the next day, news came out from the medical center in the city that those victims had died.

Xie Jie was charged with the emperor's order to appease the victims, but he caused a death. This incident was quickly brought to the capital by Pei Yan's people.It was also through this incident that Pei Yan was finally able to appear in the sight of everyone in the capital.

These things were all told to her here and there in the mansion. Occasionally, Pei Banyan told her, and Hongxiu would tell her. At that time, there was no Ning Xueyao, and she was still the uncompromising hostess of Duanwang Mansion. There are many channels for news, but at that time, she was full of Pei Yan, and she didn't care about such a big event.She even felt that Xie Jie acted like this. After returning to the capital, he lost his support, or if he lost his power, he deserved it.

But thinking about it now is not the case at all.

Is Xie Jie doing the right thing?

Of course it is.The most important point of relief for the victims is not to give each of them a sufficient amount of money and food, but to protect their lives from the root.Transporting grain, repairing bridges, repairing roads, digging ditches, and building canals are all necessary.

Is he wrong?

Of course there are. He should not ignore the thoughts of the victims and just do what he thinks is right.More often than not, people often need to hear what they want to hear before they can believe that others can do practical things for them.Although talking about it is not enough, but if Xie Jie doesn't talk about it, most people often can't wait for him to do something.
