Sima Shang's prestige here is extremely high, and Li Fei took his token and quickly recruited thousands of civilians.
After seeing Sima Shang's token, many refugees organized themselves spontaneously and followed.
In less than an hour, a hole was opened at the mouth of the canyon.
The water that was originally blocked in the city flowed into the canyon along the gap.
The refugees who fled also stopped and returned to the city one after another. Now that the water has receded, they only need to clean out the mud in the city and rebuild their houses.
Sima Shang stood on the muddy street with a sad expression on his face.
If you want to rebuild Nanjun City, you may not be able to do it without millions of taels of silver.
If the other two counties are included, the amount of money needed will be at least two million.
"The flood problem has finally been resolved!" Zhao Rui said with a relaxed look on his face: "Master Sima, why are you unhappy!"
Sima Shang sighed: "After such a big disaster, the three southern counties are in dire need, but where can I get so much money?"
Zhao Rui also encountered difficulties. After years of hard work, Dashang's treasury was already empty, and he could not spend so much money to rebuild the three southern counties.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Rui suddenly had an idea.
"Who is the rich man Wang you just mentioned? How come even the master in the yamen moved for him?"
Sima Shang suddenly looked like he was gritting his teeth.
"The Wang family of Nanjun! There have been three prime ministers in our ancestors. Until now, many ministers in the court are from the Wang family. Nanjun is their foundation. They usually look domineering and domineering, but now they have suffered
After such a huge disaster, they even asked people from the government office to move the house for them."
Zhao Rui couldn't help but cough twice. A family that has regarded itself as a clan since ancient times must be a giant. I didn't expect it to be so huge.
"Then the Wang family must have accumulated a lot of wealth. The Wang family will pay for the reconstruction of the three southern counties this time."
Sima Shang's eyes suddenly widened. He had been in Nanjun for many years and had long been dissatisfied with the behavior of the Wang family. He wanted to overthrow them many times, but they had established deep roots in the court.
On several occasions, the Wang family actually joined forces with Xiao Xiangguo to almost remove him from the position of county governor.
If the emperor hadn't favored him and protected him secretly many times, he might have been killed long ago.
Now Zhao Rui wants Wang to pay the money, which is simply a fantasy.
"Eunuch, I'm afraid you don't know how powerful the Wang family is. If you want them to pay..."
Zhao Rui, however, looked nonchalant and interrupted Sima Shang.
"Master Sima, don't worry. As long as you cooperate with me a little bit, I can guarantee that you will be able to extract money from the Wang family."
In a villa in the north of Nanjun City.
A large number of government officials drove carts and carried large and small bags, constantly moving to the villa.
A middle-aged man who looked a bit rich, dressed in rich clothes, stood on a stone platform and kept shouting at these government officials.
"Didn't any of them fucking eat? Hurry up, the flood will come soon, and my things will be submerged, so you won't be able to eat and walk around."
All the government officials did not dare to complain at all and could only keep their heads down and work hard.
