In the morning court, Fang Muxi proposed to the emperor to dig a canal. He quoted scriptures and analyzed the pros and cons, and was instantly recognized by Su Xiangguo and some officials.

Su Xiangguo had already been greeted by Su Xiang in advance and agreed with this method, so he was willing to help Fang Muxi.

Some officials represented by Taishi Li immediately jumped out to express their disapproval. They believe that this is too laborious and wastes money, and may damage the foundation of the country.

The two teams were engaged in a verbal battle, going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other.

At present, only Xiao Mo has not expressed anything, but he can see clearly.

The emperor now fully trusted Fang Muxi and smiled at all the proposals made by Fang Muxi. On the contrary, he showed displeasure when he heard Master Li's rebuttal.

Xiao Mo decided to show his goodwill to Fang Muxi and win over him, so he also started to speak for Fang Muxi, completely ignoring the ugly face of Master Li.

In the end, the proposal of "drilling the canal" was adopted by the emperor, and the matter was carried out vigorously.

The construction of the canal was an important matter. As the commander-in-chief, Fang Muxi and various local officials began to get busy. Within four days, they began to accept the refugees and start work.

The refugee problem was officially solved, and Su Xiang could finally escape from Tiantianju and Liushang Qushui Building.

After that, Su Xiang went back to Lingshan Mansion and unexpectedly learned of a near-miss.

It turned out that because of the drought, many refugees climbed up from the other side of Lingshan Mountain. When they saw how everyone in the village lived in harmony and had sufficient supplies, some people became jealous.

So those people started to squat, only to find that people were transporting surprising supplies from Su Xiang's house every day. They became greedy and wanted to take the opportunity to snatch up the supplies.

Fortunately, Su Xiang's house was secretly protected by Lin Xueman's men and apprentices. When they found out, they immediately detained those people.

Finally, the villagers helped them and transported these people to the local government office and put them in jail.

Everyone was afraid that Su Xiang would be worried, so no one informed her about this matter. It was Lin Xueman's subordinates who informed Su Xiang when she took the time to come back and asked about the situation.

After all, the master said that Miss Su Er was in the same position as him. During the master's absence, everything will be obeyed by Miss Su Er.

They dare not hide it.

Su Xiang was very grateful to everyone for everything they had done silently. She asked Gao Lan to call the village chief and exchange greetings first.

"Village Chief, thank you for this. How are you doing now? If you need supplies, just let me know."

The village chief was drinking tea. When he heard what Su Xiang said, he stopped drinking tea and waved his hands hurriedly.

"No, no need! Thank you so much, Miss, for the well you dug for us! If it weren't for the well you dug, and the storage materials I learned from you before, how could we have lived so happily during the drought? We should be the ones thanking Miss !”

Su Xiang smiled and said, "You're welcome. I just prepared some more because I wanted to open a restaurant. I didn't expect that there would be a drought this time and it would come in handy."

"You are a blessed person." The village chief sighed with emotion, and suddenly paused, "However, although this year's drought is serious, I heard that the hundreds of thousands of refugees were arranged by the court to dig canals, so they died this time The number of people is relatively small. Fortunately, the human tragedy of decades ago did not happen..."

"I've read history books, is it referring to the great flood forty years ago?"

The village chief sighed and nodded: "Yes. God doesn't want people to live, and major disasters are always accompanied by various diseases. I remember when I was young, there was a major flood in a county, and tens of thousands of people died. People. As a result, a plague broke out later, and almost all the people in that county died..."

When the village chief mentioned "plague" on his own initiative, Su Xiang's eyes flashed, "When it comes to this, village chief, you are well-informed. I would like to ask, will the severe drought this year lead to the emergence of plague?"

Anyway, we finally got to the point.

"Miss, are you worried about... a plague?"

"Yes." Su Xiang tentatively said, "You know my father is a good official in Kyoto, and he has been worried about this matter recently. According to him, after floods or droughts, there will always be diseases... In addition, What your old man just said, I have to worry about."

The village chief held the teacup in his hand, rubbed it a few times, thought about it for a while, and said, "Miss, you are right to be worried."

"So I found a trustworthy doctor in Kyoto who specializes in plague."

The village chief's eyes lit up, "Is there any progress so far?"

"The doctor has provided a prescription that can prevent the plague, but he is not sure whether it will be effective. However, to be on the safe side, I plan to let myself and the people around me take the medicine from tomorrow. Do you need it?"

When the village chief heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed to express his gratitude to Su Xiang, "That's it, thank you very much!"

Su Xiang hurriedly helped the village chief, "You're welcome. You go back first, and I'll have someone pack it up for you later. Starting from tomorrow, drink once in the morning. If a plague really breaks out, not only do you need to drink medicine, but also You must remember to cover your mouth and nose with tissue paper and try to avoid going out and coming into contact with others.”

"I know, I'm really grateful." The village chief thanked Su Xiang again, and at the end of the sentence, his face was full of sincerity.

"I know Miss, you don't care about that little money, so I won't mention giving you money for medicine. But if you need any help, please tell us. We have been receiving favors from Miss. As long as Miss asks us, we will go through fire and water. , without hesitation."

Su Xiang smiled and said, "Okay."

She knew the people in this village could get along. They were obedient and repaid their kindness, and Su Xiang was willing to give them a hand.

I hope that the prescriptions given this time can enable these simple people to survive the plague safely.

In a short period of time, Su Xiang plans to stay only in Su Mansion and won't go out and wander around for the time being.

After Qingyun and others delivered the medicine packs to the village chief, Su Xiang asked someone to load several more carts of supplies. Under the escort of the villagers, they returned to Kyoto again.

Su Xiang remembered that in the novel, the plague claimed the lives of more than 100,000 people, and Yun Hua finally came up with a prescription that finally ended the disaster.

Originally, Su Xiang wanted to use this recipe to give Lin Xueman's fake identity "Ye Qi" to get rid of the sin slave, but now there is no need for it. Su Xiang had no choice but to give the recipe to Fang Muxi. As for how Fang Muxi would use the recipe, she didn't care.

Next, it depends on how she prepares and leads the Su Mansion to deal with the plague.

……

Over there, the refugee problem was solved, and Su Wan had nothing to do, so she asked someone to find a maid for her.

As a result, each of the maids was more beautiful than the last, which made Su Wan impatient.

The maid is so showy, is she planning to seduce Brother Mo while she's not paying attention? !

Until the last maid stood up.

Her face was full of vicissitudes of life, she stared at Su Wan with complicated eyes, and shouted, "Miss."

Su Wan took a closer look and immediately sat upright, "Hongxiu?"

Hong Xiu hurriedly bent down and said, "Miss, I'm so sorry. I didn't come here because of my shamelessness. I was introduced by a middleman. I'm leaving now..."

"Wait!" Su thought stood up, called to Hong Xiu, and looked at her with a hint of arrogance.

Today's Hongxiu is not as innocent and cute as Su Wan's impression. She is much older. Even her words are bitter and timid. It seems that she has suffered for a long time after being driven away.

Su Wan thought for a while and felt it was better to keep her.

Firstly, there is really no one available around her; secondly, Hong Xiu has made a mistake, and she will serve her more attentively this time, without any delusions; thirdly, she can also show her tolerance to others.

So, Su Wan decided, "Forget it, I'll give you a chance, you can stay. From now on, you will be my personal maid, don't make any mistakes again."

Hongxiu had no hope at all, but after hearing this, she quickly knelt down and thanked her.

"Thank you Princess Yi for your tolerance and generosity!"

Amelia Su smiled with satisfaction.
