He frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let Pei find them all."
Qin Zhao: "..."
Jing Li said, "Look, we're in a strange place in the county, and without official positions, it would be difficult for us to find medicine. Now that we have officials at our disposal, why not use them? Wouldn't it be much easier for them to find medicine than for us?"
Qin Zhao smiled and pinched his cheek: "You are quite clever in this regard."
Jing Li's expression froze, and he realized that he had unknowingly leaned completely on Qin Zhao.
He curled his fingers on his knees and tried to move away quietly, but Qin Zhao gently grabbed his waist.
Even though there was clothing between them, Jing Li felt as if he was burned by the warmth of the other person's palm and shuddered unconsciously.
The atmosphere became a little weird, Jing Li's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and the places where the other party touched felt so hot that they seemed to be burning.
"Qin, Qin Zhao..." Jing Li called softly.
"What's the matter?" Qin Zhao's grip on his waist loosened slightly, but his expression showed no sign of worry. "Asking the government to find the medicine is indeed the most time-saving and labor-saving method, but all this is based on the successful flood control."
He was so serious, as if this was just an ordinary discussion. Jing Li struggled to get his attention back to the main business: "Water control... there will definitely be no problem with water control."
"I don't think it's that easy." Qin Zhao said slowly, "If they still refuse to agree to my method..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the yard: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, are you home——!"
Qin Zhao: "..."
Jing Li finally found a chance to escape and stood up: "I, I'll go open the door!"
The back view even has a sense of fleeing in panic.
Qin Zhao looked at his departing back, feeling both angry and amused.
He runs pretty fast.
This little guy.
The person who came was Pei An.
He had no idea that the two people in the room had just been discussing how to use him. As soon as he stepped into the room, he couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Qin, the county magistrate has agreed to your plan and will send people to dig a canal tomorrow!"
Qin Zhao looked at Jing Li in surprise.
Why does he feel that... this little koi has become more and more powerful recently.
Jing Li wanted the flood to be resolved smoothly, so Qin Zhao was forced to set off to the county seat in person the next day. If he hadn't come in person, he might not have been kept here, and the flood in Linxi Village would not have been resolved so smoothly.
He wanted Qin Zhao to get better, so they met Mr. Xue in the county town and got a new prescription.
As for now, they were just worrying about how to advance the water control work, and Pei An brought good news.
However... although it is good news, it comes at the wrong time.
Qin Zhao withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Didn't the county magistrate say yesterday that this would be a waste of money and manpower and that he absolutely disagreed? Why did he suddenly change his mind today?"
"Your Excellency was indeed not thoughtful yesterday. Today, I reviewed with you the flood control cases in Guangdong and Guangxi in recent years and discovered that they used diversion to control floods."
"With the original dossier, which proves that this method is indeed effective, your Excellency naturally has no more concerns."
Pei An smiled and said, "Well, my Lord asked me to come and find you quickly to ask you about some final details of the construction."
Business was more important, and they still had something to ask of them. Qin Zhao could only nod and say, "Sit down."
Pei An and Qin Zhao chatted for almost an hour.
Seeing that it was past dinner time, Jing Li sat under the eaves bored and took a look inside the house.
Still chatting.
So hungry.
His stomach growled, Jing Li rubbed it and sighed softly.
Inside the house, Qin Zhao suddenly stopped talking: "Why don't we stop here today?"
Pei An: “?”
"This...this isn't finished yet." Pei An asked, "Are you tired, sir? Why don't we take a break for a cup of tea?"
Qin Zhao shook her head: "No, it's just that at this hour, I should go cook for my husband."
No one can let his little fish starve.
Pei An's expression was blank for a moment: "You... cook?"
Qin Zhao: "Is there a problem?"
Pei An: "Shouldn't my husband be the one cooking?"
Qin Zhao: "My husband can't cook."
Pei An: “…”
Is this a question of whether or not?
Who doesn't marry a man to serve the head of the family? Why does this guy treat him like an ancestor?
Pei An said helplessly: "It's okay, I brought some followers with me outside, let them go to the restaurant in the city to buy some food and bring it back."
"Okay." Qin Zhao nodded and called out to the door, "Xiaoyu, come here."
Jing Li walked in.
