Ji Yi felt wronged and pretended to wipe away tears.
Then, she looked at Sheng Lingwei with pitiful eyes and a accusing expression, and the hair that had been sticking up on her head fell down.
"Waaah... Boss, let's keep things separate. You can't attack me personally."
Sheng Lingwei stared with dead fish eyes.
"Ji Yi, stop acting like a drama queen. If you're a man, act normal. Don't forget you have a younger brother in this world. What do you think he'll think of your behavior?"
Ji Yi: "..." Anyway, he's used to his brother always teasing him.
But he was too embarrassed to say it aloud.
"Hehe, boss, I was just kidding. I just haven't acted cute in front of you in a long time, so I did this."
Sheng Lingwei's lips twitched a few times. "No coquetry please."
Ji Yi: "..." Feeling wronged!
...
After taking out the supplies, Sheng Lingwei didn't sit idle. She began to move among the crowd, using her wood-type abilities to heal drowning and injured or sick people, and then using spiritual spring water as an aid.
In less than two days, they were fully recovered.
The four senior doctors were shocked and asked Sheng Lingwei for medical advice. Sheng Lingwei sighed and took out several precious medical books from her space to give to them.
He uttered a profound and enigmatic statement: "In books, there are houses of gold; in books, there are beauties like jade."
She then quickly disappeared, fearing that they would be so eager to hold onto her and wouldn't let go. She wasn't well-educated; she couldn't even write a poem, let alone spout any profound truths.
We can only borrow famous quotes from other people.
Most importantly, she doesn't know medicine and can only use wood-based abilities to heal. As for knowledge about medical principles, she only has a superficial understanding.
When it comes to expertise in this area, Bletilla striata is the best.
The pills and other medicines stored in her space were all made by Bai Ji herself.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The people of Gancao County have been eating and drinking well these past few days, and their mental outlook has changed dramatically. They are no longer listless and emaciated.
As for the dozens of dead civilians, considering the possibility of an epidemic, after discussion, it was decided to cremate them all together.
After cremation, the ashes were placed in urns, and a suitable place would be found to bury them after they arrived in Xianyang County.
By this time, the floodwaters had receded, and the silt on the ground had mostly dried up after being baked by the scorching sun, allowing people and vehicles to walk on it.
It's time to hit the road!
Sheng Lingwei instructed Ji Yi to lead the people of Gancao County to Xianyang Prefecture, while she went ahead to check on the situation in other counties.
She was very busy during those five days.
He would occasionally use his teleportation ability to travel to other counties, either to deliver supplies or to appear before the people and calm their restless hearts.
This time, the flood came quickly and violently, but fortunately, their team provided timely rescue, minimizing the death toll.
This is already considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
As for post-disaster reconstruction, that's not something they need to worry about.
Because the officials sent by Sheng Haoyu, after working day and night at breakneck speed, finally arrived in Xianyang County yesterday morning.
His malnourished body, haggard face, and panda-like dark circles under his eyes made Sheng Lingwei's lips twitch.
She immediately fed him a handful of pills, then made him drink several large cups of spiritual spring water, and then used her wood-type ability to repair his body.
I was afraid he would collapse.
After that, the heavy responsibility of Xianyang County would fall on her and Xiaoyunzi's shoulders again.
No, they don't have that much time to waste here.
Fortunately, after some repairs, the officials who came were able to recover and showered Sheng Lingwei with compliments.
This person was none other than Zhao Dong's younger brother, Zhao Xi.
He now enjoys the trust of Sheng Haoyu, which is why this mission sent him, a young official, to handle Sheng Kun's matter.
He was also appointed as the governor of Xianyang Commandery, with an official rank of fourth grade.
After inspecting the other counties and finding that the situation had basically stabilized, Sheng Lingwei gave the county magistrate some instructions before leading Jing Qingyun and the others back to Xianyang County.
The original Prince Wu'an's mansion has been cleaned up and is now being used as a temporary accommodation for Sheng Lingwei and her entourage.
As soon as they returned to their residence, people rushed over upon hearing the news.
The first to arrive was Zhao Xi, followed by Big Beard, and then Zheng Yishu, who was temporarily managing the iron mine. Accompanying him were Shen Yang and his sister, along with their families.
The group huddled together, chattering away, making Sheng Lingwei's head spin and her brows furrow into a tight knot.
She immediately shouted sternly, "Shut up, all of you! This isn't a market. We'll talk things out in the order of arrival, one by one."
The group of people standing in the hall felt a chill run down their spines, and they quickly shut their mouths, lowered their heads, and dared not say another word.
Zhao Xi glanced smugly at the others, stepped forward, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Princess, after a day of observation, I have become quite familiar with the affairs of Xianyang Prefecture, but..."
Sheng Lingwei raised an eyebrow: "Just what?"
"However, I am a lowly official with little influence, and I am also young and impetuous. Other officials inevitably look down on me, which makes it more difficult for me to handle matters."
Hearing this, Sheng Lingwei understood everything.
Turning to look at Jing Qingyun sitting on the other side, he winked at him: "Little Yunzi, you're quite clever. You even knew to come to me first to help you establish your authority."
Jing Qingyun smiled and gave him a helpless look: Weiwei, my people are your people. Zhao Xi is quite perceptive; he contacted you first, not me.
Sheng Lingwei shrugged: There's nothing I can do, I'm just too charming.
Jing Qingyun nodded with a smile: Indeed, she is charming, and extremely charming.
Seeing the two exchanging glances, Zhao Xi felt helpless and looked for help at Nangong Zichen, who was sitting in the lower seat.
He knew that this young master with a beauty mark on his forehead was Princess Chang Le's younger brother, and that his words carried more weight than those of his master.
As expected, Nangong Zichen coughed a few times, and Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun immediately withdrew their gazes and looked at Zhao Xi with serious expressions.
Sheng Lingwei pondered for a moment and said, "Zhao Xi, I allow you to use my name to do things, but you need to be strong yourself. You need to establish yourself as soon as possible."
In addition, if you encounter uncooperative officials, you can remove them from their posts or demote them as punishment.
With your clever and quick-witted mind, I'm sure you understand what I'm saying.
Zhao Xi looked grateful and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your kindness, Princess."
He had seen plenty of these underhanded tactics in officialdom.
He might know more than the princess, but there was nothing he could do. He was new here and all alone without any help, so he could only temporarily use the princess's name.
Honestly, the princess is truly righteous!
