Su Jinhua felt more and more distressed. Gradually, the medicinal materials in her hands were not enough, so she gave up.

"Don't worry. In a few days, the money from the court will be distributed, and the matter of bringing water from the mountain will be put on the agenda. By then, everyone will have clean water to drink."

Food is almost running out these days and there is a real shortage of food.

The village chief's face was full of gratitude, and a hint of smile appeared on his dark face, and it was an extremely bright smile.

"Thank you so much, Princess. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do."

Hearing this, Su Jinhua immediately smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes. The children around her surrounded her and kept shouting.

"The princess is so beautiful."

There was some emotion in her eyes. She blinked slightly and rubbed their little faces, feeling very happy.

At the same time, silver from the court was also distributed, and Gu Yanan took the officials to count the money.

County Magistrate Yang's eyes were shining, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"This is the first time I've seen so much money. I didn't expect the emperor to care so much about the people of Gutian County."

What he said was undoubtedly a slap in the face. The money in the underground casinos is much more than that.

Gu Yanan saw through it but didn't say anything. He pursed his thin lips slightly, already having an idea in his mind.

The money distributed by the emperor was indeed a lot, which was enough for them to go up the mountain to draw water, and there was even some extra money to use. He already had a plan in his mind.

"The emperor has always been concerned about the people. Now we don't have to worry about not having enough money."

Several officials were eager to take action, but no one dared to speak, so they could only stare.

Gu Yan'an deliberately wanted to whet their appetite and chuckled to break the awkward atmosphere.

"If this money is extra, we can share it, but if it's not much, then forget it."

As for whether it is a lot or not, that is just a matter of words from them.

County Magistrate Yang understood immediately and nodded quickly to express his opinion with a bright expression and slightly raised eyebrows.

"Of course, we must first take care of the people. When we have extra money, we can talk about it later."

The other people were all smart people, so they naturally didn't say much and already had the answer in their hearts.

Gu Yan'an remained silent, sitting in the wheelchair, letting them push him. He glanced around and was confused.

"Why don't you see Shen Rujun?"

Logically speaking, it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to come out at this time.

Hearing this, Lord Lin was speechless. He just snorted and then curled his lips.

"We did call him, but he got even more arrogant. He didn't care about the small change and even went to the underground casino to have a look."

Everyone knows that the underground casinos have more money. How much can the imperial court distribute?

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and they are the only ones who cherish it more.

Gu Yan'an seemed a little surprised, but didn't say much. He just shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and responded deliberately.

"That's definitely not comparable."

Everyone felt sweat on the tip of their nose, and they were immediately alert. They didn't know how to respond and just wanted this topic to get over with quickly.

Gu Yan'an did not make things difficult for them at the time. He just started discussing the drawing. He made a drawing overnight with extremely detailed steps.

"Dig a hole in the mountain and use bamboo to get the water down. However, the mountain road is really rugged and the terrain is very complicated. I'm afraid we need to use something to reinforce it."

In addition, there is a high probability of many accidents, and some insect repellents and measures should be placed around to prevent wild boars from entering.

All the officials couldn't help but admire him in their hearts. They didn't expect that a military general like Gu Yanan could know so much. It seemed that he really had some knowledge.

County Magistrate Yang naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement. Looking at the drawings in his hand, he felt more and more satisfied and nodded immediately.

"That's a good idea. Prince, these problems can be solved as you said."

Some of them often go hunting in the mountains, so they must have already thought of a good way, so it would be easy to catch them.

Gu Yanan was not worried that it could not be realized. He had already thought about it before making the blueprint. He nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

"Since everyone is willing to cooperate, I feel relieved. I'll leave this matter to you all. If you have any questions, please tell me when the time comes."

He had already sent people to secretly investigate the terrain based on these drawings, and it must be said that they were indeed very comprehensive.

County Magistrate Yang had a smile on his face and was calculating the money in his mind. Thinking that he could save a lot of money, his smile became brighter and he nodded immediately.

They did not hide what they did, and Shen Rujun soon found out. He sat in a room in the underground casino with a heavy heart and sneered.

"I knew they had been planning to get this money. They are really ungrateful people who can never be fed."

Ever since he took over the underground casino, he knew how much money everyone was oppressing the people and even how much money they had extorted from this casino. Naturally, he looked down on them.

The guard standing beside him also had a hint of worry in his heart, and his words revealed a hint of helplessness.

"Now that they have money in their hands and Gu Yan'an is threatening them in secret, they must have other ideas in mind."

Maybe now he just wants to be a fence-sitter.

Shen Rujun narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately stopped flipping through the account book. He felt not only melancholy but even more depressed.

"But how do you think we can treat them so that they will behave better?"

Since he came here, he hasn't received much respect. They agree with him on the surface, but what they actually do behind his back is disgusting.

The guards' expressions were calm, but there was a hint of murderous intent in their eyes, and their voices were cold.

"Of course, the people who are to be buried in the ground are the most honest."

These people had followed the Third Prince through life and death, and had long been accustomed to these scenes, so naturally they had no fear at all.

Anyone who dares to stand in their way will be eliminated!

Shen Rujun still remembers the scene of his first murder. He trembled slightly and let out a long breath.

"I haven't thought about this matter yet, so you must not say anything nonsense!"

The matter is really too serious. These officials can be said to be the lifeblood of Gutian County. If it is resolved so easily, someone may be suspicious.

It would be difficult for him to get out of this situation at that time. It would be difficult on all sides and he really didn't know what to do next.

The guard standing next to him didn't seem to care at all, he just spoke calmly.

"Mr. Shen's identity has been exposed now. I'm sure Gu Yan'an will not let you go."
