Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2489 Farewell, never see you again

It is said to be a temporary camp, but because the money is sufficient, the houses are well built.Those who suffered fires and lost their properties could live here permanently.

As for whether these people will return to the original site to rebuild the house in the future, Cang Qianche will no longer care.

But that place was not only burned, in fact, many officers, soldiers and Imperial Forest Army were killed in the sea of ​​flames.No one knows whether anyone is willing to come back to clean up, or whether they can live in peace of mind.

In addition, Cang Qianche also promised each household to provide food and daily necessities unconditionally within one year, and also gave a subsidy of 15 taels of silver.

In this way, the regent became a good prince who cared for the people, helped the people raise funds for the disaster, and actively resettled the victims.As if the most powerful fire was not set by him.

In the end, only the appointment of the prefect of Beitongzhou remained unresolved.

Of course, it is very easy to appoint an official to manage it.

But the current management form of Beitongzhou is special.There is no problem with money, food and taxes on the surface, but in fact they are all in the hands of the chamber of commerce in the western district.

Therefore, the appointed official must be a person that the court can trust, and must not be greedy or selfish.It is even more important to have the ability to re-govern this Beitongzhou and slowly reverse the previous criticisms.

After some thinking, Cang Qianche decided not to change the current model of Beitongzhou for the time being, and there is a temporary vacancy for the prefect of Tongzhou.After the imperial examination in the spring of next year, consider it from among the many talents in the imperial examination.

But when things were arranged here, there was another small problem.

When Cang Qianche ordered someone to find the president of the West Chamber of Commerce, he was told that the president had disappeared.

Everyone thought that the president had heard the news and ran away, because everyone knew that he was the brother-in-law of the original master of the state capital.

Only Cang Qianche nodded slightly when he heard the news, and he was not so surprised, it seemed that he knew this question a long time ago.

However, the president above escaped, and the shopkeepers of the various chambers of commerce below are still there.

Therefore, all the shopkeepers of each branch were called together.Even shopkeeper Hao, who had a little "intersection" with Liu Ya in Qingping City, was among them.

What an honor it is to meet the Lord Regent!But at this moment, in the eyes of the shopkeepers of these chambers of commerce, it was such a tragedy that they were so scared that they were about to pee their pants.

Especially the shopkeeper Hao, when he saw Liu Ya sitting next to Cang Qianche, he was stunned for a moment, then backed up tremblingly, wishing to hide in the cracks in the ground.

Liu Ya only looked at shopkeeper Hao with a smile, without saying a word, which made shopkeeper Hao's hair stand on end, his whole body tensed up, and his throat became dry.

Cang Qianche announced seriously: "From today onwards, all of your shopkeepers must submit their accounts, both private accounts and deposit accounts. In addition, from now on until the new governor of the state capital takes office, you will set up separate accounts. In order to clearly record all operating income and expenses during this period. When the new boss takes office, they will be handed in together. Do you understand?"

Everyone agreed repeatedly, and no one dared to question it.

Cang Qianche emphasized again, and then looked at Liu Ya.

Liu Ya sneered, took out the letter of guarantee written by shopkeeper Hao from her sleeve, threw it on the ground, and said, "Circulate it, everyone, and then tear it up. But I don't want such a thing to happen again."

The letter of guarantee was naturally passed back to shopkeeper Hao in the end, and he read it again tremblingly, then tore it up himself.

But he also secretly rejoiced that finally he didn't force himself, and he didn't do anything terribly wrong. Only in this way can he save his life, it's just a shame.

After that, these people went back separately.Cang Qianche and Liu Ya decided to observe here for a few days before going back on the road.

As for the two adults from the neighboring state, although they wanted to flatter the Prince Regent, Cang Qianche sent them all back and told them not to disclose their future whereabouts.

The two of them knew that the Prince Regent wanted to inspect incognito, so they naturally had to be very careful.He also promised to help temporarily deal with possible criminal lawsuits in Beitongzhou, and went back.

After the fire was extinguished, Liu Ya went to the state government office again in the middle of the night.

There was already a piece of scorched earth in front of him, and there was still a faint smell of burnt in the air.Occasionally, a gust of night wind blows, and some black and gray droplets will fall on the face.

Holding a flagon in one hand and a lantern in the other, Liu Ya stood in front of the ruins for a long time.Then she lowered her head and blew out the candles in the lantern, put the lantern aside, and walked inside according to her memory.

From time to time, Liu Ya stepped on a piece of broken tile or broken wood, and Liu Ya didn't stop.He went straight to the place where the back hall was originally and stopped.

The wind is gentle, the breathing is shallow, Liu Ya's eyes are looking ahead but she doesn't seem to be looking at any place.

At this time, she seemed to hear the heartbeat again in her ears, first it was her own heartbeat, and then it was the powerful and steady heartbeat of a man.But gradually, the other heartbeat weakened until it stopped.

Liu Ya found that the corners of her eyes were wet.She pulled the cork off the wine jar, raised her head and took a long gulp.Then he tipped the wine jar and poured some wine on the ground.

"I respect you, I thank you. I will remember you forever." Liu Ya said softly, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and took another gulp of wine.

"The two of us have never had a drink together, and you are far away from me, and you have never been as close as that day, close enough to hold me in your arms, close enough to be close to your heart. But I know your heart, I can't pay you back."

Taking another sip of wine and spilling it on the ground, Liu Ya continued: "But this is also a relief. It is also a pain to care about someone all the time and guard her silently. You finally don't have to suffer anymore. I wish you the next life There is a lover who can be with you for life, and a warm and happy home."

The night wind passed by gently again, taking away the smell of wine and thoughts.

For a jar of wine, Liu Ya stood at the place Shiqi left and drank half of it.

In the end, there was still a sip of wine left, Liu Ya ruthlessly threw the wine jar to the ground.He wiped away his tears again.

She wasn't drunk, just slightly tipsy.

Suddenly, she seemed to see the quiet and indifferent man waving at her, holding a wine jar with a rare smile.Take a sip of wine, take a step away, and gradually get farther and farther away from her.

"Farewell, don't ask for goodbye. Because I owe you too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back." Liu Ya smiled, there were no tears in her eyes, only the pain she hid.

After that night, Liu Ya quit drinking...
