The villain is far from my CP!

"Someone in the west of the city is secretly recruiting laborers? And taking care of family members?"

Qi Changting didn't sleep much last night, and he didn't eat breakfast. After being scolded by Chang Cen for ruining his body, he is eating his lunch obediently.

Hearing He Cheng's surprised question outside the door, the chopsticks paused slightly.

Squeak.

He Cheng closed the door and came in with a solemn expression.

He knew that Qi Jingmin probably did it.

Qi Jingmin wanted to make a fuss about the laborers because of Baiqiao's precautionary measures to pry away the merchants, and asked the laborers to help them quietly destroy the dam.

Ordinary people only know how to farm land, but not water conservancy at all. If the boss asks them to do it, they may really do it.

As for taking care of family members, ninety-nine percent of them are to coerce family members to threaten laborers who are hooked, and shut their mouths.

"Your Highness, ask your subordinates to count the number of people, and then go and steal that Lao Shizi's shop!"

He Cheng was furious and clasped his fists in begging for his life, but his highness still ate food little by little in a gentle manner.

Until the last grain of rice disappeared, Qi Changting picked up the tea soup to rinse his mouth, and lightly touched the corner of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief.

He glanced at He Cheng, and said, "He Cheng, you've become lazy."

He Cheng: "?"

He was stunned for a moment, and his mind, which had been at ease for a long time, finally turned - yes, he was only recruiting workers, and even took care of his family members. From the perspective of others, he was a charitable businessman, so why should he check on them?

"Then, let them recruit people?" He Cheng frowned.

If the shop is not resolved, is it necessary for the government to bother to stare at the laborers who come out of the shop one by one?

Qi Changting didn't answer, he stood up and went out, and ordered: "Prepare your horse, follow me out."

He Cheng's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Is Your Highness going to find Miss Bai?"

"?" The young man paused, turned his head and glanced at He Cheng inexplicably.

Before meeting Miss Bai, Your Royal Highness could walk independently, okay?

Qi Changting was too lazy to argue with He Cheng about this kind of problem, he got on his horse and galloped towards the bulletin board at the city gate.

When Shi Shi led Uncle Niu back to the bulletin board, more than an hour had passed, but the crowd was still bustling and never dispersed.

Shitou quickly grabbed a man who was running around in the crowd, and led him to Uncle Niu.

"This is the guy from that shop," the young man introduced, "Talk slowly, uncle, I'll report the name of the dam repairer first."

Shitou's mother knows some handicrafts, her income is fairly stable, and she has no family members to take care of, so he doesn't plan to go to the shop in the west of the city.

The man who was pulled by the stone glanced at the back of the stone regretfully, and then turned his attention to Uncle Niu in front of him.

As soon as he saw the little girl cowering behind Uncle Niu, he knew what was going on, and he was overjoyed.

"Brother, don't worry." He patted Uncle Niu on the shoulder very familiarly, and said honestly: "My shopkeeper is kind-hearted, and I just want to help you poor victims of disasters. Come with me to the shop and get your fingerprints. I will take good care of your daughter." baby."

After that, he pulled Uncle Niu and wanted to leave, but he didn't.

Although Uncle Niu is a farmer, he also knows that there will be no pies in the sky. When the court did disaster relief before, this wealthy businessman did not come out to help. Why did he suddenly appear to do good deeds after the dam was built?

Also sneaky.

He frowned and hesitated, but at this moment, the crowd suddenly fell silent.

The chaotic victims gradually stopped making noise and looked in one direction in unison.

At the end of the long street, a young man in a blue robe came riding a horse under the sun.

As they approached, everyone suddenly recognized that this was the young man who had gone to the relief point to check whether their porridge had been confiscated after busying with the new county sheriff before?

The people voluntarily and consciously moved out of the way, Qi Changting got off his horse in front of the bulletin board and took out a notice in his sleeve.

He Cheng posted up the notice in public, and read aloud with confidence:

"All laborers, if they have no family members to take care of the old and the young, can be sent to the relief point, and the government will hire a woman from a good family to take care of them. The fee is [-] yuan per person per day. After the construction period is over, it will be settled uniformly. There is no interest and can be repaid in installments."

"Although interest is not calculated, it is too expensive!" There were high-level discussions and even complaints from the crowd.

Qi Changting's eyes swept over the faces of those loud and provocative people, with a smile that was not a smile.

Immediately afterwards, He Cheng's voice continued to sound:

"However, during the construction process, if the laborer finds someone suspicious and reports it, and the government checks it out, he will be rewarded with one tael of silver, or exempted from all expenses for caring for relatives until the end of the construction period."

At the end of the crowd, Uncle Niu's heart hung high, and then fell back into his stomach.

He actually recognized this little adult.

When he returned to the relief point more than half a month ago, the officer handed him a silver coin, saying it was from the little adult, and asked him to buy some meat to make his daughter happy.

The man couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, he had already made a decision in his heart.

When repairing the dam, everyone followed the instructions and repeated the same thing. If anyone who is suspicious can see it at a glance, it is not difficult.

However, out of politeness, he still felt that he should speak to the clerk at the shop in the west of the city, but when he turned his head, he had disappeared.

"?" Uncle Niu showed a hint of confusion on his face, but he soon ran out of time to think about these things.

There was already a long queue beside the case for registration. After all, the government is always more trustworthy than the shops in the west of the city with unknown origins.

He picked up his daughter again and let her straddle his shoulders.

The sun poured down overhead, reflecting a vibrant hope.

Bai Qiao only learned about it from He Cheng when he arrived at the government office the next morning.

Now that she and He Cheng have become acquainted by two or three points, they are finally not so restrained when getting along, so they just laughed lightly.

"What are you laughing at, girl?" He Cheng was puzzled, "Is this not a good idea? Let the people supervise each other, which is equivalent to having hundreds of pairs of eyes watching the scene for us, and the price is only to help them take care of their families, or a tael of silver. "

"Okay, of course." Bai Qiao smiled and said seriously, "That's great."

She really didn't expect the hero's learning ability to be so strong, isn't this just a copy of "seeking profit only"?

Merchants are only interested in profit, so why not the common people.

As long as a reasonable mechanism is designed, the common people can be tied together with the dam construction, and it is truly invulnerable.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing again.

I really want to see the expression of the villain after hearing the news, it must be very exciting.

Indeed, it is wonderful.

Since Jiangdu and Dongdu are thousands of miles away, Qi Jingmin got the news two days later.

At this time, Qi Changting's decree has been issued to all counties and counties, and the recruitment is in full swing, and there is no room for him to interfere.

That night, no one dared to say, and no one could explain how many abnormal and terrifying noises were made in His Highness's room.

On the second day, Qi Jingmin went to court as usual, but the servants who tidied up his house changed almost all the furnishings in the house to completely cover up the horror and chaos of that night.

After successively experiencing the quarrels between the governor of Jiangdu and the disaster relief funds, it was rare for the court to be stable for a period of time.

After Emperor Huisheng came down from court, he went straight back to Chaowu Hall.

There are not many memorials these days, and most of them are written by county guards from various places in Huainan to report the progress of water conservancy renovation in their respective jurisdictions.

He flipped through a few folds and looked again lazily. Compared with water conservancy, he paid more attention to another matter...

Before recommending the prefect of Jiangdu, there were too many people sent by the Ministry of Households. He would not believe it if no one contributed to the flames.

But with the lessons learned from the former governor of Jiangdu, doubts fell directly on the princes.

The third child, Qi Changting, was the first to be eliminated, and the second child, Qi Yunzheng, had already been beaten up by him because of the former Jiangdu prefect. He shouldn't make a comeback so soon, so...

Will it be his eldest prince?

The author has something to say:

Qi Changting: He Cheng, you are getting lazy.

He Cheng: Oh, you just got lazy.

Qi Changting (nodding seriously.jpg): Yes, I admit it, but I have Aqiao, what do you have?

He Cheng: ...
