Gu Qingli pointed at the houses on the ground. "Actually, there are a lot that can be lived in. There are some small families that have built their brick houses that are very sturdy and practical. As long as the tidewater recedes, they can still live in."
Cheng Hao nodded: "That's true."
"Post-disaster reconstruction is also very important. For so many victims, it is actually very dangerous for them to live in grass sheds built by the government."
"It can't be that you'll even have to take care of post-disaster reconstruction, right?"
"Since you want to do it, you have to do it to the end. This matter is also under consideration, but there is no money in the budget. First, find someone to count the houses, see if you can find the old owners, see if there are any ownerless houses, and if there is an household register in the government, you should be able to do it. Then, we will count the number of victims and register them according to their registration. This matter shall be left to Zhu Wei An so that he, Shi Cheng, will have nothing better to do. "
Gu Qingli sneered. It was about time Zhu Wei An got him busy, or else he'd be thinking about something else.
When he returned to the magistrate court, he suddenly saw the flowers and plants all over the courtyard. A fragrant wind wafted towards him. He hadn't noticed for a few days that the courtyard had been made into a flower garden.
Gu Qing Li sucked in a breath of cold air.
He had been living in this courtyard as well. He had been living in a side room at the corner of the courtyard, so he didn't seem to be used to it at first glance.
When he looked up, he was stunned to find that the multi-colored bead curtain had been removed from the door of his room. There was a beautiful woman leaning against the door, and her body was emitting a fragrance that was even further away than the fragrance of flowers.
"Congratulations." Gu Qing Li's lips curved up into a smile as he looked mischievously at Cheng Kai.
Cheng Qi was twenty-two. He had studied hard for a long time and had never gotten married before, so he had never seen many girls of his own age before. When he suddenly saw this scene, he was so shocked that his hands and feet turned cold and his face turned pale.
Gu Qingli felt like laughing in her heart, but her face remained cold as she said, "Very good, Cheng Lang. It's only your first time leaving the capital to take a girl back, so your parents will definitely be happy."
Cheng Qi swallowed his breath, and said in a low voice with an aggrieved expression, "Gu Lengfei, I'm just a small doctor. I don't have the life of a prince, so I won't be able to take it."
Gu Qingli said in a low voice, "What good is there in this side of the consort helping you?"
Cheng Wang had a bitter look on his face, but he knew it was of no value to her and couldn't answer.
Gu Qing Li raised his head slightly and chuckled, "Your uncle is the Minister of Industry. Don't think that you've never told him about it. As long as the people outside don't know about it, this wife is very clear about it."
Cheng Kai's expression changed as he stared at her in shock.
In order to nurture such a scholar, he had no choice but to sell his only daughter, who was also Bai Wanqing's older sister, to a wealthy family. Later on, because she was clever and delicate, and did things diligently, he became the concubine of that young master and gave birth to Cheng Kai, that bastard, which gave his some status.
In order not to embarrass him, Cheng's mother let people know that he had a sister who was a concubine. She had never acknowledged him, so almost no one in the court knew about it.
Cheng Wang had not expected that his first husband would encounter such a disaster. He was even worried that his uncle's glorious name would be ruined, and even more so, didn't dare to admit to his relationship with Bai Wanqing. He didn't expect that the prince and the imperial concubine would actually know about this …
"Master Cheng!" Before he could finish his thought, the woman had already walked towards him, her embroidered handkerchief half-covering her red lips giving off a fragrant wind that made him dizzy.
"Don't …" Don't come over here, it's the hardest thing for me to get away from this beauty. "I don't dare to say that." Cheng Qi wiped his sweat, "I don't know this lady. Did I go through the wrong door?"
The woman was stunned for a moment before she smiled, "No, Boss You let me take care of Cheng Lang."
Cheng Dong sneezed loudly, and took a step back. His eyes were filled with fear: "Don't …" Don't come near me, Achoo! "
Gu Qing Li was laughing so hard that her stomach hurt. She walked up and said, "Cheng Lang, the girl who was sent to your house last time, what happened?"
Cheng Qi was stunned. He looked at her in confusion.
"You really don't have enough compassion for the fairer sex. Later on, that girl cried at me, and even let me see all the wounds on her body …" Tsk tsk, you really know how to play. What kind of whip marks, candle marks, knife scars … There's no need to talk about bruises. Even though she's just a girl from Xuanhua Pavilion and not some girl from a noble family, you should still restrain yourself a little … "Hey, that girl, where are you going?"
The woman's face turned pale. She didn't finish listening, but turned and hurried into the room that Gu Qing Li had arranged for them.
Cheng Wang wanted to cry, but had no tears. What kind of side concubine was this, just listen to these words, he was not married yet. If word of this got out, which young miss in the capital would dare to marry him?
"Imperial Concubine Gu …"
"How do you think we should repay you for solving such a big problem?"
Cheng's tears were about to fall, as he stared at her in grievance: "You want me to never get married again, don't you?"
"As long as you can say a few more words to your uncle, do you need to worry about getting married?"
With a serious expression, he said, "Gu Shaoyang fei, although my uncle is just a mere imperial edict, he will not be attached to the nobility, and he will not participate in the struggle for power. I will not be able to help you with this kind of thing."
Gu Qing Li sighed inwardly. At the same time, he felt that Bai Wanqing was indeed interesting. It was no wonder that Xiao Yixiu wanted to rope him in. Xiao Yixiu must be a resolute person that would never take advantage of him.
"Master Bai, you are so honest. Why did you break the record and get promoted?"
"My uncle thinks that my ability is enough. If the concubine thinks that this is a stain on his character, then I can hand in my resignation and I won't ruin his reputation," Cheng Qi said with a sullen look on his face.
"He thinks you're good enough? "Alright, you can propose the remaining water calamity plans and hand them to the king tomorrow so he can have a look."
Cheng was flabbergasted, and once again, he found that this Imperial Concubine Gu was not someone to be trifled with.
"If you can't write it, you don't need to convince your uncle to do anything. You just need to recommend him to the Prince." Gu Qingli smiled, shaking him off and stepping into her own guest room.
Picking up the five-colored bead curtain, Gu Qing Li lowered his eyebrows. Like Cheng Xun, he felt extremely uncomfortable with the rich fragrance of the powder.
After entering the inner room, she could hear the delicate sound of laughter through the six screens. Her face darkened and she instantly felt uncomfortable. How could Xiao Yi Xiu let those girls into the room? His obsession with cleanliness would never tolerate another woman sleeping in his bed.
Gu Qingli stepped over the screen and saw a few beautiful women sitting or lying down. Their clothes were not elegant, the most outrageous one wore a light veil, and even the mandarin duck apron could be seen clearly.
