Chapter 448: Sowing Dissension
Su Qianqian had also finished writing by this time. She looked at it and was very satisfied that she could write such beautifully.
"What is your plan, Madam? Those aristocratic families have deep roots, and they are not comparable to a prefect. Even if His Royal Highness Prince Xiang comes here, he will be constrained in every way."
"My Lord, you martial artists have a saying called 'borrowing someone's strength to defeat him', 'using a little force to move a great force'? I just want to muddy the waters and create rifts between the noble families. After sowing discord, I will use one's spear to attack the other's shield!"
Su Qianqian showed Qin Hanzhang what she had written.
"Is this for the divorced eldest daughter of the Tan family? How can you make her work for you?" Qin Hanzhang was very surprised.
"I once helped Tan Shi by getting her wet nurse and maids back, and she promised to do something for me.
Letting the aristocratic families fall into chaos is not only for the purpose of post-disaster recovery, but also to defeat them one by one so that they will no longer be controlled by them in the future. ”
What Su Qianqian didn't say was that what the noble family had done to the late Marquis Wuning in the past, they would also do to the Marquis Wuning's Mansion in the future, so she had to separate the six chopsticks in advance so that they could not work together to reap the benefits.
"This is not an easy task. If there is anything you need me to do, just let me know." Qin Hanzhang said with a smile.
"Of course I have to give orders, since you are my husband." Su Qianqian said casually.
"Husband?" Qin Hanzhang whispered this title softly. It was the first time he heard these two words from Su Qianqian's mouth. Usually she called him Marquis.
Su Qianqian didn't realize that there was something wrong with what she said and continued to write other things. Her plan had to be careful and successful.
Qin Hanzhang felt soft-hearted. He sat beside her and read a book, but he didn't read a single word for a long time. He would glance at Su Qianqian from time to time.
After Su Qianqian finished her work, the two of them lay on the specially widened couch. Qin Hanzhang tilted his head and asked Su Qianqian: "What did you call me just now?"
Su Qianqian was a little confused: "Of course it's the Marquis, what else could it be?"
Qin Hanzhang shook his head: "That's not it."
"Not this? Then it's...Sir? It was just a slip of the tongue, please don't blame me, Your Majesty." Su Qianqian quickly admitted her mistake. The Marquis is the Marquis and should not be called Sir.
"Not really." Qin Hanzhang turned his head and lowered his eyes, feeling a little disappointed.
"No matter what it was, I was wrong. Don't take it to heart, My Lord. Go to sleep." Su Qianqian felt a little sleepy. She closed her eyes, apologized cheerfully, and soon fell asleep.
Once she fell asleep, her posture changed. She climbed on Qin Hanzhang very naturally, with her head resting on his arm.
Qin Hanzhang turned his head and gently scratched Su Qianqian's upturned nose with his index finger: "Sleep on my arm, should I ask for some wages and call me husband?"
Su Qianqian called out in a daze in her dream: "Husband..." Her voice sounded even more sweet and innocent when she was asleep. Qin Hanzhang's ears suddenly felt hot and his heart beat fast, and something in his heart was stirring again.
He regretted it, why made himself unhappy! Moreover, with this condition, there is no place to relieve it!
Su Qianqian was unaware of Qin Hanzhang's pain, and she continued to touch him all over. She slept soundly that night, but when the sun rose, Qin Hanzhang was still nowhere to be seen.
Su Qianqian had already gotten used to it. She got up, washed, and packed up. She had breakfast with Qin Yuzhuo and the two old ladies. Then she asked someone to take the letter she had written to the Tan family in Yunzhou, and instructed them to make sure to hand it to the eldest daughter of the Tan family in person.
At noon, the prefect of Hongzhou personally led people to the river bank and said to King Xiang and Qin Hanzhang: "I love the people like my own children and will make sure that the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is the labor hired with the tools collected overnight to solve the urgent problem."
The Chief Secretary called on the laborers to follow the instructions of the commander of the Qin family army, take their tools and follow the relief team to repair the fields.
The prefect of Hongzhou was free and looked around for him: "That imperial envoy..."
"He went to Cangshan Village to check whether the epidemic has been eliminated." Qin Hanzhang took over the conversation and replied calmly.
Prince Xiang frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard the words "imperial envoy", but there was no imperial envoy here. If there was an imperial envoy, he should be considered one, but his father did not say so when issuing the edict, so his identity was only the disaster relief envoy and Prince Xiang.
At this time, Su Qianqian was farming with the villagers of Cangshan Village.
Because the downstream area is flat and this was the first place to start clearing the fields, farming was resumed here earlier than other places.
However, there were only more than half of the villagers left in Cangshan Village, and the labor force was seriously reduced. Su Qianqian helped them by soaking the seeds or seedlings in the space spiritual spring and then taking them out for the villagers to plant.
By using these seeds soaked in the space spiritual spring to cultivate their crops, they should grow faster, and the yield will definitely be very high, and the quality of the food will be better.
Su Qianqian was busy running back and forth in the space, while Dianfeng and the system were watching the fun and giving her some encouragement from time to time.
Three days later, a team of two thousand laborers came to the bank of the Hong River. Led by the third son of the head of the Tan family, they went straight to Su Qianqian and claimed that the Tan family came to help Su Qianqian with disaster relief and farmland repair.
Prince Xiang and Xue Zhiqing were both very surprised to hear about this, but they didn't know why they helped Su Qianqian instead of Prince Xiang.
"Madam Su, my sister has received a favor from you, and today she has repaid it. The Tan family never owes anyone anything, even to the Marquis of Wuning Mansion."
The third son of the Tan family is handsome, and although he is young, he is steady and calm.
"Okay, okay. It's not up to you whether I owe you anything or not. The Wuning Marquisate has the final say. But I accept this favor. The grudge between me and Miss Tan is written off."
Su Qianqian waved her hand generously.
The third son of the Tan family immediately gave the order to start work, which significantly accelerated the progress.
But on the second day after the Tan family arrived at the Hong River, the fifth son of the He family also brought people here.
"Sanlang Tan, your Tan family is too domineering. You even come to my He family's territory to grab land and grow crops!" The fifth son of the He family pointed at the third son of the Tan family.
"He Wu, stop being so sanctimonious. What your He family did was more arrogant and dirty than what our Tan family did. What's wrong with our Tan family comforting the disaster victims for His Majesty?
Instead, it is you, the He family, who took advantage of the flood to ask the people to compensate for the flooded land. Natural disasters can be rescued, but man-made disasters cannot be avoided. You received the land rent and refused to return it to the people. How can they survive? ”
The third son of the Tan family and Tan are siblings from the same mother. After hearing his sister complain about her grievances, he had no good intentions towards the He family. He was not willing to be outdone and exposed the He family's past.
"You are using this as an excuse to rob us. Our He family's land will naturally be repaired by our family. The rent paid by the tenants can be converted into some food after the autumn harvest." He Wu said contemptuously.
"He Wu, what a joke! How can you recognize the land destroyed by the flood as your He family's land? Why didn't you repair your own land after it was destroyed? Are you still waiting and watching for so long?"
Tan Sanlang sneered.
