Dressed as a peasant girl, she pampered the powerful villain

Zhang Jiulin was wearing a black brocade robe today, his eyebrows were like frost, and he was as cold as a blade. His whole body was filled with cold air, and he looked like a jade-faced Rakshasa.

In comparison, Wang Shuyan is much softer. She is wearing an apricot-colored round-neck velvet winter robe with floral patterns embroidered on the face. A millet-colored satin ribbon is tied around her waist. Today, her green silk hair is tied into a single bun with a copper hairpin. The red coral pearls echoed the apricot robe on her body, making her gentle and charming, and the red spots on her face did not affect her beauty at all.

She smiled happily: "That's so ugly. It not only ruined the good image of the governor in the military camp, but also made me a resentful woman for no apparent reason. We are all very understanding people. I know you won't embarrass me." , naturally I won’t embarrass you, even if you are the governor, you can’t keep me in the tower forever. If my guess is right, I can leave tomorrow, right?”

Zhang Jiulin's eyes flickered as he looked at the hairpin in her bun. After hearing her words, he was heartbroken again, and the dissatisfaction he had been filled with immediately disappeared.

He had deliberately been cold to her these past few days just to make her anxious. Unexpectedly, people thought of him as a gentleman. Inexplicably, he felt a little guilty.

He suddenly felt that a person's temperament is indeed the soul that adorns the skin. If she were to be weak and easy to bully, she would not be able to hold up half of the aura and power of the skin.

Zhang Jiulin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "Why do you think you can leave tomorrow?"

Wang Shuyan summarized the information he had collected from Duan Li and Fei Ying as well as through Ji Xiao before he came and said: "The price of grain and charcoal in Songxian County and Luoyang County is high, and the people have already come to Tongzhou County. You want me to camp Now is the best time to sell the grain. Firstly, it can help in emergencies, secondly, it can lower the price, and thirdly, it can knock down the mountain and sway the tiger. And the military rations you have requisitioned..."

It has been the tenth day since she came out. If she returns tomorrow, she will be gone to Tongzhou County for half a month. In this short half month, I am afraid that something terrible will happen outside.

Human power is weak, and they are like ants in the face of natural disasters. If natural disasters are combined with man-made disasters, more and more desperate people will go to the "shengmen", which is either the nearest Tongzhou County or other places. County.

Tongzhou County in the original book had been massacred a long time ago. Now that Tongzhou County has become the closest place to survive, people from the other two counties will naturally come out to find a way to survive.

The two county magistrates colluded with the powerful squires and clan dignitaries to raise the price of grain and charcoal to enrich the people, which aroused public resentment and pushed the people to a dead end. The reason why Zhang Jiulin was able to serve without fear was because Zhang Jiulin had no skills at the border.

The three county magistrates do not agree with each other. As long as one of them is stepped on, Zhang Jiulin will be able to punish the other two magistrates.

Only then could her hoard of grain be sold openly and at a low price, and only then could Zhang Jiulin use his own name to ask Magistrate Gu to release grain to the two counties in exchange for reputation.

She didn't understand at the time why Zhang Jiulin had to collect 300 kilograms of military rations since he was sure of winning the war.

In fact, it was just for this time. The amount of food she had hoarded was limited. Compared with the amount Zhang Jiulin collected in the name of military rations, it was nothing.

Each household has two hundred kilograms more, and the thirteen counties and prefectures add up to a huge amount. This food can save the people of Dawei from disaster at the critical moment, and it can also play a restrictive role.

Zhang Jiulin asked her with a smile: "What happened to the military rations?"

Wang Shuyan looked at the food in the bowl, the fragrance of rice wafted away, and said with a smile: "Use military rations to provide disaster relief in the name of the court. If you are given such a big hat, the court will not blame you, but will reward you."

Zhang Jiulin's eyes were bright and he nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, if I don't collect more military rations in the name of war needs, I won't have the food to save them from misery. It's better to keep them here than to sell them to grain merchants and end up buying them at a high price." When I go home, the court's disaster relief will be distributed according to distance. When it is allocated to the three counties under my jurisdiction, there won't be much left. If I don't plan in advance, the people will be waiting to die, and it's time to clean up some pests."

Wang Shuyan was very satisfied with what she heard, served him the soup diligently, and asked with a smile: "Then how do you want me to cooperate?" She suddenly felt that Zhang Jiulin was quite eye-catching when he was scheming. Although his mind was not pure, at least he was He cares about the people and has a big picture.

Zhang Jiulin picked up the soup and took two sips: "Zhao Qian will take my official documents to Songxian County and Luoyang County to dismiss the two county magistrates and investigate and provide disaster relief. The grain you have collected will be set up in grain stores in the two counties." Sell ​​it at a lower price gradually in your own name. Today I have ordered the military rations to be distributed to the Tongzhou County Government. After receiving it, County Magistrate Gu will provide disaster relief in the name of the imperial court."

Wang Shuyan was puzzled: "In my name?"

Zhang Jiulin nodded: "Didn't you say that you can earn glory and wealth by yourself? Then you can sell grain and charcoal in your own name, sell at low prices when the price is high, and don't be afraid of the powerful to save the people from misery. Your reputation will not be any worse. Yes, a woman is out in public competing with a group of big men for food, and a good reputation can also bring you convenience."

Wang Shuyan was startled, remembering the confrontation with Zhang Jiulin that night in the Prisoner's Village, with a smile in his eyes, "Okay, I'll help you clean up the mess. If I draw my sword to help when there's injustice, it won't bring you any trouble, right?"

When disaster strikes, anything can happen. She just appeared in a food store owned by a commoner. I'm afraid there are many people taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. She has to ask for special privileges to be safe.

Zhang Jiulin shook his head indifferently: "No, you take the Zhang family army with you, and leave the really difficult matters to me. The decree from Kyoto has arrived. I can leave when General Yue Xi reaches the border. In the meantime, you take the Zhang Jiajun, you can show off your power in the name of me or the 'Guotong Hou' when dealing with some inhumane gentry, and you can ruin my reputation as you wish."

He spoke so generously that Wang Shuyan couldn't help laughing at the end: "Look at what you said, it sounds like I'm a bully. Don't worry, I'll keep doing what I do. If I encounter the situation you mentioned, the worst possible outcome is to kill them." Tie him up and give him a good beating first. After all, the emperor is far away when the mountains are high. Only in severe disasters can suppression by force effectively protect the people."

This is the same idea as him.

Zhang Jiulin couldn't help laughing. Seeing that the two of them were talking in a good atmosphere, he changed his tone and said carefully: "Ayan, what happened that day... I think what you said makes sense."

Wang Shuyan opened his mouth to eat for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and stared at him after swallowing: "What do you mean?"

There were several sounds of burning coals in the house.

The window lattice of the west wing was open, and the snow was still falling outside.

The window lattice was facing the two of them.

The wind and snow brought in, making it a bit cold.

Wang Shuyan subconsciously reached out and rubbed his arm.

Zhang Jiulin wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up and closed the window lattice tightly. He returned to his seat and looked at her solemnly: "The reason why the future is so uncertain is because His Majesty is old and has wavered in the appointment of the crown prince. Now I am only from three counties." The young governor has no power and an unstable foundation. If he is not careful, the nine clans will be wiped out. Instead of doing this, it is better to wait for everything to settle down before we talk about marriage. The girls we marry into the Zhang family are all after they have earned fame. I sincerely seek to marry you."

He spoke very sincerely, his eyes seemed to be filled with words of love, his handsome face was smiling, and his beauty was unparalleled.
