On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Hearing this, the man threw the pen down with trembling hands, turned around and held his wife in his arms.

Seeing this, the people in the queue rushed towards the government office.

The man setting up a stall nearby was dumbfounded.

“What the hell is going on!” Everyone looked at each other, and even the thugs just now were stunned.

At that time, in the government office.

"Miss, your trick is really brilliant!" Now, Qing'e finally understood the situation and praised Shen Wantang again and again.

Shen Wantang let out a long sigh, but suddenly thought of something: "Now that things have been settled, go and invite Mr. Zhou out! He has been wronged, and I will definitely apologize to him."

But just as she finished speaking, before Qing'e could go out, a familiar voice came over.

"Sir Shen, I should be the one apologizing to you! It's my fault for being so stubborn that I almost ruined your plan."

Zhou Gengxin bowed as he walked in.

Shen Wantang hurried forward and bowed in return.

"I didn't mean to hide the situation that day from Lord Zhou, but I'm not sure. If it works, that would be great. But if it doesn't, Lord Zhou will still be in charge of the overall situation!"

Shen Wantang spoke slowly.

This time, Zhou Gengxin was completely convinced.

"Lord Shen really has a good plan. He first stopped the government grain supply and deliberately raised the grain price. The merchants saw this and went to other states and counties to buy grain overnight. When they got their grain, you opened the warehouse and released the grain."

Cen Xiao also walked in slowly, raised his eyebrows and said, "It is really a loss for the Ministry of Revenue that Lord Shen does not take up the post at the Ministry of Revenue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Gengxin beside him also echoed.

Shen Wantang looked at Cen Xiao, his brows furrowed.

Only then did Cen Xiao stop teasing.

"We were unable to open the warehouse and release the grain this morning because the official grain only arrived last night and was only counted this morning so we can compare the numbers one by one."

Shen Wantang continued to explain.

Zhou Gengxin raised his hands repeatedly, his face full of guilt: "I am really sorry to trouble you, Lord Shen. These things should be handled by me."

"You and I are both concerned about the people of Nanzhou, so we are naturally of the same blood." Shen Wantang smiled calmly.

The disaster situation in Nanzhou has been alleviated, and what remains is post-disaster restoration.

Shen Wantang went to the warehouse where the goods had been soaked, took a look, and shook his head helplessly.

"The terrain here is low-lying. If it rains, the grain will accumulate here. Why do we need to build this granary here?"

Hearing this, Lord Zhou stepped forward and said, "Lord Shen, you may not know that there were many thieves near Nanzhou before. They stole a lot of government grain but could not be caught. The former governor of Nanzhou had no choice but to place this granary here. Although this place is low-lying, it is easy to hide."

"Besides, the rainfall in Nanzhou is stable. There has been no heavy rain in decades, and there has never been a flood..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Gengxin's face was full of worry and he shook his head helplessly.

"This granary is no longer useful. We must find a new one." Shen Wantang let out a long sigh and spoke firmly.

At present, the government grain is temporarily stored in the government office, which is not a solution.

It was already evening when I returned to the office.

Before reaching the government office, I saw from afar a large group of people blocking the door of the office, looking inside.

Shen Wantang suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped immediately.

But just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was caught by someone with sharp eyes.

"There! All the officials are there!"

A burst of sound caused everyone to turn their heads. Even if Shen Wantang had the ability to escape underground, he would probably be caught by these people.

"My dear adults, you are finally back!"

The leader was old, with some gray hair. He hurried forward and bowed and spoke.

Since the person coming here is not too rude, then there is room for discussion.

"Everyone, it doesn't make sense to gather outside this government office. Why don't we go sit inside?"

Shen Wantang spoke slowly.

Everyone went to the government office.

Seeing that these people were dressed gorgeously but with resentment in their eyes, I guess they must be the wealthy people of Nanzhou.

I had known that they would come to the government office in a group, but I didn't expect that they would open the granaries and release grain in the daytime and come in the evening.

It was quick.

Shen Wantang took a sip of tea calmly and half-closed her eyes. She wanted to see what these merchants were going to do.

"Sir Zhou, we transported the grain from afar to Nanzhou for the benefit of the people of Nanzhou. But in the final analysis, we are just stupid merchants, so we naturally want to make some profits. If we make money, the government will naturally get a share. What do you think? ..."

Before the leader finished speaking, Shen Wantang slammed the teacup on the table and sneered, "How dare you!"

Everyone around was startled.

He had already felt resentful when he saw a lady sitting at the table just now, but now that Shen Wantang interrupted several people's conversations, his resentment deepened.

"Who do you think you are? You have no right to interrupt men when they are talking!"

One of the gentlemen suddenly stood up, pointed at Shen Wantang's nose and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Zhou Gengxin stood up angrily: "How dare you! This is a minister sent by the court to provide disaster relief. Don't be rude!"

Shen Wantang raised his eyes slowly and calmly, with bursts of cold light scattering out, and the people who had been so arrogant just now seemed a little timid.

"The imperial court would send a woman to be a disaster relief officer? What a joke!"

But there are still many people who are rude and make sarcastic remarks.

Shen Wantang was too lazy to say anything more to these people and just glanced at Zhou Gengxin.

"All documents from all parties have been checked. If you still have any questions, why not go to the prison and tell me!"

Zhou Gengxin said sternly.

The man lost his temper instantly.

The old man in the lead knew the situation and quickly put on a smile and said some nice words: "If you are really from the capital, even your lady is so generous. It is us who have failed to recognize you. Please forgive me, lady."

"I guess you are all merchants from Nanzhou. It's a good opportunity for you to come today. If you hadn't come to see me, I would have gone door to door to visit you. Now that you're here today, I don't have to run errands."

Shen Wantang was calm and composed, but there was a hint of arrogance in his tone.

"Sir, you just kept saying that you were doing this for Nanzhou, so why did you pretend you didn't receive the letter when the prefect wrote to you? You left the prefect alone in the office, so why didn't you say you were thinking about the people?"

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows, leaned aside leisurely, and calmly settled old scores with this group of scoundrels.

"You are merchants, and it is understandable that you want to make some money. However, originally one ounce of gold was worth ten bushels of rice, but you have raised the price to one ounce of gold for one bushel of rice. This has disrupted the grain price. Lord Zhou, what should I do with my Dacheng Law?"
