Pingyuan County Government.

Lin Lian blackmailed 150,000 taels of silver from Qi Ming, and planned to wait until the autumn harvest was over and the people in the county were idle, so he started his disaster relief aftermath, that is, to use labor for relief.

First of all, we naturally repair the river embankment in Pingyuan County; secondly, we renovate all the roads in Pingyuan County.

In order to provide enough money and grain support for these two huge projects, Lin Lian had someone buy a lot of rice and grain back in the morning.

However, when the autumn harvest was over, Lin Lian sent people to various villages and towns to post notices and summon young and strong men to prepare for work, he was sadly aware that most of the young and strong men had left the village and rushed to Li Nanguo.

He tried hard to extort Qi Ming 150,000 taels of silver in order to keep people in Pingyuan County. But now, he wants money and food, but he can't find anyone to work.

"What the hell is going on?"

Lin Lian stared at his staff account, feeling very unrealistic, as if he was dreaming.

"Sir, this matter seems to be caused by Princess Changping!"

Lin Lian's master Mao Jin whispered, "In the Changping Town, Princess Changping issued a notice saying that it was the place where Li Nanguo could also grow grain in winter."

"Then, the people from all villages in Changping Town were organized."

"This matter was brought with Viscount Su Yaoshun."

Mao Jin was Lin Lian's right-hand man and helped Lin Lian as an official in Pingyuan County.

All the big and small things that happened in Pingyuan County are basically beyond the eyes and ears of Mao Jin.

In Changping Town, Mao Jin knew when Su Wu made the notice. However, Mao Jin did not take this matter too seriously.

In Mao Jin's opinion, the princess Su Wu is a little baby.

Can the little baby get involved in the matter?

Unfortunately, it was Mao Jin's momentary carelessness that made Lin Lian feel embarrassed.

"That's it?"

After hearing Mao Jin's report, Lin Lian had a similar idea to Mao Jin. He also felt that with a notice from Su Wu, why could most of the young and strong people in Pingyuan County be taken to Li Nanguo?

"Sir, is it because of Viscount Su Yaoshun?"

"Young man, you can hear that Viscount Su Yaoshun has been in Linan Kingdom for a lot of days and has only returned before the autumn harvest."

"Not it?"

It has to be said that although Lin Lian is a clean official and loves the people as much as his son, he has been separated from the people for too long. Sometimes he can't help but commit empiricism and take it for granted.

However, no matter how depressed Lin Lian is, he still needs to do what he should do.

In the plan, there will be no more than 150,000 taels of silver left.

But now, he can only spend more money.

In addition, the original voluntary work had to be turned into a compulsory serviceman. After all, those who did not go to Linan are lazy.

It is simply a dream to want these people to work voluntarily.

Under the forced order of the government, there is not cheap wages to get, and the river embankment in Pingyuan County has finally begun to be repaired.

On the day the project began, Lin Lian brought his men to Yashang Village.

After several days of investigation, he had already understood that the fundamental reason why she was no longer available was Su Wu's notice.

Among them, there is also a little reason for Su Yaoshun.

After all, if there was no trouble in Linan Kingdom, the Su clans in Yashang Village would not run there all at once.

With the leading role of the Su clans in Yashang Village and the followers of Songjiagou, this incident formed a chain reaction. As more and more people went to Linanguo, the villages in Pingyuan County were driven.

In fact, not only the people of Pingyuan County, but also the people of the nearby counties are following the same.

During this heavy rain, most of the land was affected by disasters.

The prefect Yan Kewei was also thinking about the aftermath of labor-for-relief, and then he encountered the same embarrassment as Lin Lian.

If you have money and food, you don’t have people!

As the prefect, Yan Kewei found out the abnormality, and then sent a letter to the county magistrates below, and then got a similar truth from Pingyuan County Magistrate Lin Lian.

After knowing the whole story, Yan Kewei didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

I am happy that if the people under their rule can grow a variety of crops from Linan, they will solve the impact of the previous flood. But what I worry about is that if the people feel that farming in Linan is more promising, will they move to Linan with their families?

As a local official, the number of registered residents in the jurisdiction is also a major indicator of official assessment.

Yan Ke was slightly worried, and Lin Lian was even more worried.

Because Pingyuan County is a severely affected area, the proportion of people to Linan Country is also the highest.

If the people went to Linanguo and became interested in moving, it would be difficult for him to pass the exam.

Thinking that Su Wu had helped him solve the problem of shortage of money before, Lin Lian had to come to Su Wu again, hoping that she could give him another idea, at least to prevent his assessment from being too ugly.

"The lower official Lin Lian meets Princess Changping!"

When Lin Lian saw Su Wu, he respectfully stepped forward to greet him, after all, he had something to ask for.

Su Wu looked at the uninvited county magistrate curiously, and always felt that the other party was not kind and would not go to the Three Treasure Hall without any trouble.

"Mr. Lin, are you doing anything?"

Su Wu looked at Lin Lian seriously.

Lin Lian looked a little embarrassed and said, "Go back to Your Highness, the emperor is really a little trouble. I hope Your Highness can help you."

"Oh, then you said!"

Su Wu still replied politely.

Of course, Lin Lian didn't know that Su Wu's heart was very terrifying at this moment.

These days, her second sister has repeatedly urged her to go to the county town to find Lin Lian to ask her for an errand. With all the hints from her mother, Su Wu could only find excuses to shirk her.

But now, Lin Lian actually ran to her house, how could she refuse?

"Your Highness, this is how it is."

Lin Lian is also a straightforward person, and he shows his purpose in finding Su Wu at speed and directly.

Su Wu was stunned when she heard Lin Lian’s intention.

"Mr. Lin, you are trying to make trouble!"

Su Wu is really helpless.

If this person thinks that the Li Nanguo is good, he must have run over directly.

Emperor Xuanwu issued an order to allow the people to migrate to the southern country. Not to mention that Su Wu is just the adopted daughter of the Empress, even the Empress herself would not be able to sing a counter-topic tune with Emperor Xuanwu.

"Your Highness Princess, this is a matter of no way, the official is really out of his way!"

"If everyone has gone to Linan Kingdom, our Pingyuan County will be empty!"

"Without a population, can you imagine what that looks like?"

Lin Lian looked at Su Wu pitifully.

"Also, if there is no one, what will your fief of your princess be like?"
