The topic of Gu Yan learning embroidery ended. No matter how distressed Gu An felt, he could not stop his daughter from wanting to learn embroidery, so he could only compromise. But he made up his mind and found a master to teach her when he arrived in the border town, and then he found a few good embroidery ladies to prepare. After his daughter got married, he took her to her husband's house. Gu An was reluctant to let her daughter sit in the house every day to make these things.

Tang smiled at Gu An and said, "You only feel sorry for your daughter. Okay, if she wants to learn, let's not worry about it. Let's talk about this disaster first. My husband, what's going on with these refugees? Where did they come from?"

When Gu An heard Tang ask about the victims, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Hmph! When I talked about this, I was angry. These refugees were either from other places, or from Yuzhou. Yuzhou was near Lingjiang. Last year, the imperial court rebuilt the Lingjiang embankment to prevent the floods in Lingjiang this year. However, unexpectedly, before the flood season was over, the newly built embankment was washed away by the heavy rain a few days ago, flooding six or seven nearby villages. When we came here, we walked on the official road, far away from there, so we didn't know that there was a flood there, and the victims had nowhere to settle down, so we ran to Huangcheng. As far as I know, what we saw was only two villages, there were three villages in Chengmen, and two or three villages in the disaster victims had not arrived. It would be time to get here in a day or two, otherwise we would have gone to Changzhou, but the journey to Changzhou was far away, so it was unlikely."

Tang sighed, and his compassion began to flood again.

"All of them are pitiful people! Isn't it a newly built dam? Why did it collapse?"

Gu An sneered, "Haha, the money is greedy, it's said it's been practiced, but who knows if it's not practiced? Who knows what kind of practice is used to practice? It would be strange if you don't meet these corrupt officials!"

Gu An and Tang talked about the flood without hesitation. This is very different from the fact that men never talk to their wives about the court. He never avoids Tang in his work. He will discuss with her many things, which families should be intimate with, and who should be far away from him. These all make Tang feel aware of it, so as not to let him be hindered from his work, or even be in trouble.

After hearing this, Tang shook his head and stopped talking.

She didn't know much about the court, and she said so much, and now she was on other people's territory. If they said the wrong words and people heard them, they would have to work together.

In fact, this flood was not big. The resettlement problem of several villages was easy to solve, but the matter was not small. It involved corruption and disaster relief was not that simple. The grain in the granary was not allowed to be moved without the emperor's will. Not to mention that there were only a few villages, even the people in Yuzhou could not have enough food, and no one dared to make the granary without the will, unless they didn't want it, they were ready to move and have fun.

Gu Zhehan often follows Gu An and teaches Gu Zhehan step by step to learn various knowledge. Whether it is the principles of being a human being or the way of being an official, Gu An never hides it from Gu Zhehan. Therefore, Gu Zhehan sees some things farther than Tang's, and knows much more than Tang's, but he is still young and has some things that are inconvenient to say or do.

If you want to be premature, Gu Zhehan is actually much more premature than Gu Yan. Gu Yan can be a big child by relying on his memories of his previous life. Gu Zhehan is extremely smart. After Gu An's careful teaching, his mind is much better than that of ordinary children. At this time, he listened to Gu Zhehan's words.

"Dad, mom, I think we should leave here as soon as possible. First, the situation in Yuzhou is complicated now. We don't know how rotten the officialdom in Yuzhou is. If someone is in trouble, we will not be able to fight back. Second, my father's time to take office is limited. It has been more than a month since then. By the end of July, we must reach the border town, and we have only been halfway through. If we don't rush, it will be too late, so it is not suitable for us to stay for a long time."

Gu Zhehan's words reminded Tang, who was determined to rescue disasters. Although she was kind-hearted, she was not without any limits. She was more relaxed than anyone else when it was related to Gu An's future and the safety of her family. Therefore, the first person to agree with was Tang.

"Brother Han is right, let's go quickly. Disaster relief is not our family's business. There is also the emperor. Let's not join in the fun. If we go to the border town late and annoy the emperor, we will not be able to afford to be guilty."

Now Tang doesn't want to save disasters anymore, he just wants to leave here quickly to avoid causing trouble.

Gu An shook his head and signaled Gu Zhehan to go outside to take a look.

Gu Zhehan knew that Gu An had something to say, but it was not suitable for people to hear it, so he didn't ask anything. He stood up and walked to the door to open the door and took a look. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the yard, there was only Mo Xiang who followed his sister and Chang Si, the servant next to him, stood far away in the middle of the yard. There was no one except Mama Zhao at the door, so he closed the door and walked back to the room.

Gu Zhehan and Gu An nodded, Gu An looked at Tang and smiled, "Madam, don't worry, it's okay to stay for two or three days. If you can't help with anything else, you can take this opportunity to buy some people and prepare for the future training of personnel. The number of secret guards in our hands is too small, and it's still far from that. Which family in the capital has secretly not raised a hundred and eight secret guards! Compared with them, our family is nothing at all. Although the emperor is taboo to the existence of secret guards,

None of them have been raised. I have already decided to buy people openly and train them secretly. After I got the buyer, I wrote to the emperor and told him the truth. I just said that it was for the purpose of disaster relief. I didn’t want to see those children die in disasters and buy them. If they don’t work, they will open a good church in the border town to take in homeless children. I think that even if the emperor doubts, he would never expect that we would blatantly raise secret guards, but would praise us for being kind."

The idea of ​​repairing a plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly is really good.

Gu Yan looked at Gu An with admiration, and expressed his approval for what he said to buy some more children to train him to become a secret guard.

Gu Zhehan's eyes lit up, and he admired Gu An very much.

"Dad, it would be great if we could buy more people. We would not be restricted by children, nor would we be able to do so. As long as we have the skills and abilities, we can also support others and let them support themselves."

Gu An laughed with relief, "Yes, this idea is good, that is, someone can use it, and you don't have to spend too much money, and you can also make a good reputation from the emperor, let alone a bad person's doubt. If this matter is done, the future will be promising."

It’s good to support others? As long as you have the skills, you won’t be afraid that they will not bring benefits. It’s not impossible to use the money they earn to raise those children who have not yet grown up. It’s just that people’s hearts are unpredictable. Who knows if those people live a good life, will they make waves in the future? The contract for selling their bodies must be left behind.

Gu Yan was thinking that Gu An had already made it, and Tang certainly agreed. Gu Yan, who did not speak throughout the whole process, nodded in agreement.
