Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

Zhou Jingxuan's eyes lit up: "This is indeed a good method."

"Then the Xie family must be eradicated, and the mineral mines under their name must also be stopped."

At this point, he paused: "There is just one difficulty."

"Now that the disaster is severe, where can we find those who built channels to divert water?"

A sly smile appeared on Jiang Si's face: "This matter is easy to handle."

“Aren’t there no places for refugees to be resettled now?”

"Let them go, ensure their food, and pay them wages. In this way, the refugees will be settled well."

"There are also people building channels."

"These people can also save part of their wages, and the coming year will not be so difficult."

She glanced at Zhou Jingxuan: "You can accomplish multiple things with one stone!"

Zhou Jingxuan's face was full of surprise. Why didn't he expect to come here? He was really busy and dizzy during this period.

Jiang Si continued: "The diversion of the ditch is completed, and people will be organized to plant trees during the reconstruction. The next year will not be like this year."

"There's such a thing as permanent isolation again."

After Jiang Si finished speaking, she paused for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Zhou Jingxuan asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Si frowned: "It's just that the money is not easy to get."

A hint of cunning appeared on Zhou Jingxuan's face, and he spoke slowly: "The imperial court allocated some money."

"Let's go to Xie's house to pick up the rest."

"The Xie family is the culprit of this disaster, so naturally they should take the blame."

Jiang Si was still a little confused at this time, how could a family like the Xie family willingly hand over their money.

It was not until later that Jiang Si understood what Zhou Jingxuan meant.

After An Yi rested for a night, he felt much better. Zhou Jingxuan completed what he had discussed with Jiang Si last night and arranged for An Yi to do it.

There are 10,000 refugees in Heyuan Pass, and their wages are three meals a day plus five copper coins.

It doesn't seem like much, but it can save lives under the current circumstances.

Now the disaster is so serious that most of them have no food to eat, their homes are gone, they have nothing, and they can only wait to die.

But now that the imperial court provides a living and wages, who wouldn't want to.

One call and a hundred responses.

An Yi continued to take the government officials to see if there was anyone who fell into the water and was waiting for rescue.

An Er, Qiu Shuang and A Da were the ones who went to supervise the construction of ditches.

Human nature is unpredictable. Even at this time, there are still people who want to make money by eating hard but trying to make money.

Such people will naturally be thrown out.

One rat droppings will only spoil the whole pot of porridge.

They have all been modified by Qiu Shuang, their faces, and wearing official clothes are inconspicuous in the crowd.

Zhou Jingxuan, on the other hand, took Jiang Si, Chen Yidao and Ah Si to visit Xie's house at night.

When several people were lying on the eaves, Jiang Si looked at Zhou Jingxuan speechlessly.

The dignified regent turned out to be a noble man.

Zhou Jingxuan's expression remained as usual. He had already chosen the location during the day and was waiting to go there tonight.

The Xie family has made so much money over the years, what happened to the court collecting some of it?

Jiang Si said softly: "Is this what you said you came to Xie's house to pick up?"

Zhou Jingxuan said seriously: "Yes, if the imperial court requisitions it, the Xie family should naturally offer it with both hands."

Jiang Si was speechless.

Yes, yes, how can the affairs of the imperial court be called stealing?

This is called expropriation.

After returning from Xie's house, Jiang Si and her party came back with a full load, including more than a million taels of silver notes alone, not to mention gold and silver.

When Zhou Jingxuan saw it, he suddenly took a breath of air.

You must know that the Xie family's original family is not in Heyuan Pass.

This is just a stronghold for the Xie family.

There were more things they couldn't move away, and from these we could see how much money the Xie family had earned.

The banknotes and gold and silver were sent to An Yi.

Everyone in the Xie family was leisurely making tea and listening to little songs.

The third son of the Xie family held a fan, closed his eyes, and shook his head while listening to the music.

The second son of the Xie family was flipping through the account book in his hand.

After the song ended, the third son of the Xie family slowly opened his eyes: "Second brother, how long do you think they can last?"

"Heyuan Guan Yamen only has so much money, and there is not much money left for disaster relief."

"You said that when the time comes, what will happen to those untouchables when they know that they can't pay wages and can't even afford three meals a day?"

"Will you get so furious that you smash the Yamen at Heyuan Pass?"

"Curse the regent,"

Xie Jian chuckled softly: "Third brother, don't take it lightly."

"The person who came this time was a famous murderer in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yicheng was almost destroyed, but he turned the tide and destroyed the country of Dali."

"This was also the one who put down the palace changes in the capital."

"Such a person is not the trash we met before."

"It's not comparable to the previous Pei Xuan."

Xie Yu looked carefree: "Third brother, Zhou Jingxuan may be really good at fighting this time."

"But he's just a reckless man."

"When you come to our place, even a dragon has to be coiled around like a snake."

Although Xie Jian said this, it was obvious that he did not take Zhou Jingxuan into consideration.

What happens to Heyuan Pass has nothing to do with them. They will leave Heyuan Pass when the ore mining in Heyuan County is completed.

How can Heyuanguan do their shit then?

As for the life and death of these untouchables, he didn't even care.

It's just a humble life for a pariah.

There is no shortage of it in the world.

The two looked at each other, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Xie Yu took a sip of hot tea and a hint of viciousness appeared on his face: "Third brother, their food should be gone now."

"They definitely need to buy food. How about we raise the price?"

Xie Jian replied nonchalantly: "My third brother can just arrange this."

On the second day, the prices of grain shops throughout Heyuan Pass increased.

When An Yi found out, he cursed secretly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

This damn Xie family has no regard for the life and death of others!

Isn’t this price increase deliberately aimed at them?

Profiteer!

But An Yi felt better the next moment. His master gave him a lot of money last night.

Let the Xie family increase their prices and use their Xie family's money to buy their Xie family's grain. It's a good deal.

I just don't know how angry the Xie family will be if they find out.

After An Yi took out the money to buy food as Zhou Jingxuan, the two Xie brothers couldn't help but snicker.

They all know how much money the Heyuan government office and disaster relief funds have.

I just felt that An Yi was an idiot, using money from his own private treasury to buy these grains for those untouchables.

They raised the price again, just to see how much money the regent had to support these refugees.

When the two of them were happily celebrating for cheating Zhou Jingxuan, the housekeeper hurried over, his face pale and his voice trembling: "It's not good. It's not good!"

"Second Young Master and Third Young Master, something big has happened!"

“Our mansion’s treasury has been stolen!!”
