Wei Wushuang immediately raised his vigilance.

Before he came, he was reminded by the Bureau that, except for Jinxia City, other places have been heavily infiltrated by spies. It is not uncommon to disturb people's hearts, plan riots, etc., and even directly attack the staff of the branch office, so he encountered suspicious situations Be extra careful.

It seems a bit strange that a girl who should not be short of money should stand up to speak out for the penniless poor at this time.

It's just that under the watchful eyes of everyone, he obviously can't take down the opponent directly - such arbitrarily behavior is the practice of the government in the past, and the bureau should put reason first at all times.

"Of course not." Wei Wushuang coughed twice, "Jinxia City not only sells food at a low price, but also provides a way to exchange food for free! Have you seen the camp that is being built next to it? If you don't even have a copper coin, you can Wait until the new camp opens to inquire about the situation, there will be another official there to receive you!"

"Really? For free?"

"Is it also seafood?"

"Then why do we have to pay for it?"

The public's discussion suddenly became louder, and the originally mobile team also tended to be static.

Wei Wushuang suddenly realized that there was a small mistake in his answer—due to the complexity of the preparation work, the two camps could not be opened at the same time, and he was worried that further delays would destabilize the public, so he opened the sales in advance district. This is not a problem at all. After all, it is only natural to use money to buy food. Selling it at a low price is a real aid, but no matter how low the price is, it is not as good as free food. No wonder everyone was in an uproar.

This woman... did it on purpose?

"It seems that everyone is very concerned about what the free method is." The other party seemed to be unaware of the atmosphere, and still said righteously, "So this official, can you tell us what the Bureau is going to do? After all, it is It's a matter of human life, your announcement can't be faked on it, right?"

This remark was unanimously approved by the surrounding people - although they did not express their views, the gazes cast from all directions were enough to explain everyone's thoughts.

Wei Wushuang had silently attributed the woman to the secret agent of the Privy Council.

"It's nothing to deceive everyone. Jinxia City has made two-handed preparations from the very beginning!" He said again using the loudspeaker, "If you don't have money, you can choose to help the Ministry of Construction build roads! There is enough food for you to fill your stomach—if you are hungry for a few days, we also provide relief porridge, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough energy to complete the work!”

"What... road construction?"

"Isn't the official way good?"

"It sounds exhausting, I'd better just pay for it."

"Nonsense, didn't people say that this is for people who have no wealth."

The discussion among the crowd did not subside, but the team flowed again.

Wei Wushuang couldn't help but think of Xia Fan's speech at the meeting——

"That's right, it's building roads. Jinxia must follow two principles in terms of relief: to help those who are hungry as much as possible, and not to encourage the sentiment of people getting something for nothing."

"The purchase limit is to prevent grain merchants and the Privy Council from maliciously buying, and the exchange of work for food is a way for the poor to eat. Besides, it is an established plan to widen the official roads and make the traffic in Shenzhou smoother. Now and the disaster relief Putting it all together can be said to kill two birds with one stone.”

The current official road can only be passed by a four-wheeled carriage. If two carriages meet, one side has to get off the roadbed first, and wait until the others pass before starting the road.

The bureau's plan is to triple the width of the official road connecting the cities, and double the width of the county and town auxiliary roads, so that two horse-drawn carriages can pass by each other without affecting the walking of passers-by.

There was no technical difficulty in this project, and the materials needed were nothing more than stones, clay and gravel. Clay can be obtained locally, stones are provided by the Baisha mine, and sand is inexhaustible on the beach. The main problem is that it requires a lot of manpower.

The workers in Jinxia City are obviously overqualified for digging sand and transporting soil, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to mobilize the people in the construction site.

Wei Wushuang was really amazed that Xia Fan could pull out so many tricks for a single seemingly simple food shortage relief.

The woman seemed to be completely blocked by his answer, and instead of asking any more questions, she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait... where are you going? Don't buy food anymore?" Wei Wushuang asked hastily.

As long as she answered "yes", that was her identity as a troublemaker.

"Me?" The woman looked back and smiled, "I'm sorry, I don't have any money... so I can only go to the camp you mentioned to try."

"You want to participate in road construction?" Wei Wushuang blinked in surprise. Did he hear correctly? A girl who is well dressed and has a slender figure is planning to do manual work?

"Yes. To tell you the truth, I am quite strong." She tilted her head slightly, "Or is it that the official wants to give me a meal money?"

"Don't call me Master Guan, there is no such name in Jinxia City." He said a little uncomfortable, "It's impossible to give it away, so you can go as long as you want. By the way, what's your name?"

"It turns out that the men in Jinxia City don't report their names, but ask strange women's names when they meet?"

Wei Wushuang sighed secretly, he realized that he was really not good at dealing with beautiful women, "My name is Wei Wushuang."

"My surname is Yu, and I won't tell you my name on a rainy day." She waved her hand, "Master Wei, you are a good official, go get busy with your business."

Seeing that the woman was really walking towards the camp on the other side, Wei Wushuang called a guard and told him to follow at a distance to see what tricks this person was trying to play.

Even if she is not a secret agent, her identity is not ordinary.

...

"You are under suspicion." Shadow walked backwards behind Yu Linglong, "Someone is following us."

"Isn't it strange that you don't doubt it?" Yu Linglong said indifferently, "He didn't ask someone to arrest me on the spot, so he was quite restrained."

"Oh? I understand." Shadow analyzed for a while, and couldn't help but suddenly realized, "You want to deliberately show your flaws, lure him into the bait, and then sneak in in the chaos of scuffling and tearing, and end his life! Seeing the true face of a Jinxia official who is brutal and cruel, he can destroy this food distribution. You finally know your identity, but it is a pity that the other party was not fooled..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If he asks someone to arrest me, let him arrest me. Anyway, with you around, there is no cage that can trap me, right?" Yu Linglong paused, "But in that case , Xincheng’s statement is a bit misleading.”

"New city? What new city?"

"When I was in the brothel, didn't you just stare at me?"

"Who wants to see you and those vulgar fans! It hurts my eyes!" Shadow said angrily.

"Hmm...it feels a bit strange to be scolded by me like that." Yu Linglong smacked her lips and savored, "Anyway, Xia Fan went to several brothels in Shangyuan City, all of which were to introduce Jinxia, ​​the capital of Shenzhou, to those girls— —that’s what he called a new town.”

"What does this have to do with you and me? Let's hurry up and get down to business. Whether you can be promoted to Qingjian depends on your performance this time." Shadow said unhappily, but it soon realized that the direction was wrong, "Wait... you Where are you going?"

"Another camp, didn't I just say that? I want to participate in road construction."

"Are you joking..." Shadow said in shock, "Isn't that an excuse to get away?"

"Who said that?" Yu Linglong's tone was full of curiosity, "I want to see if the place he described is really so incredible."
