A month later, the people of Yongyuan Mansion built their houses one after another. They took the food promised by Wu Bai and returned to their homes.

    At this time, Wu Bai also found the materials needed for cement, and he posted a notice again, calling on the people to build dams by recruiting workers.

    This notice has just been posted, and all the people of Yongyuan Mansion have come to sign up, both young and old, but these people are not suitable for building dams, but Wu Bai still left them all.

    Xiao Zimo looked at the number of people in the register and said, "How do you plan to arrange these people?"

    "Except for the dams, many roads in Yongyuan Mansion have been washed away. I plan to arrange for them to build roads, but there are still not enough manpower. Yongyuan Mansion is in great need of people now, and I have already arranged all the people who can be arranged." Wu Bai sighed road.

Xiao Zimo took out the letter and said, "My father wrote back to me. After his persuasion, the victims who fled to Shuangyang County are now on their way back. When they return to Yongyuan Mansion, the manpower problem can be solved."

    Before Xiao Zimo sent people to distribute more food to Shuangyang County, Xiao's father knew that the person who came to relieve the disaster was his son, he immediately wrote to Xiao Zimo, asking Xiao Zimo's plan, knowing that Xiao Zimo was short of manpower here , he began to persuade those victims to return to Yongyuan Mansion.

    "Well, we can only come step by step. By the way, how much food is left?" Wu Bai asked.

    "The food we brought has been used up, and now only the food accumulated in the government warehouse is left, which can last for half a month." Xiao Zimo replied.

    "I'll give the father emperor a brief account in a while, and let me know the details." Wu Bai nodded.

Seeing his frown slightly, Xiao Zimo reassured him: "Don't worry too much, the matter will be resolved, this morning, I sent someone to find four million taels of silver from Song De's mansion, we can use the money to go Buy food in a nearby city."

    "Four million taels! Song De is only a third-rank prefect, and his annual salary is at most 50,000 taels. You can find out the origin of his money." Wu Bai said seriously.

    "This is the ledger." Xiao Zimo picked up the ledger from the table and handed it to Wu Bai.

    Wu Bai opened it and found that in addition to the collusion between officials and businessmen, these silver coins were actually embezzled from the funds allocated by the imperial court to build dams every year.

    After reading the ledger, Wu Bai said angrily, "Song De is damned! Because of his own selfish desires, so many innocent people died in disasters!"

    Xiao Zimo took out a few letters and handed them to Wu Bai, and said, "Look at this."

Wu Bai endured his anger and opened the letter. After reading it, he was shocked: "Uncle An Huang was actually involved in it."

    "I found these letters in the secret room of Song De's study. They should be true. This also explains that the millions of taels of silver missing from the ledger should have fallen into the hands of Prince An." Xiao Zimo said slowly .

    "Uncle An was not in good shape since he was a child, and he was not involved in political affairs. His father treated him very kindly and gave him countless rewards every year. Why did he do this!" Wu Bai wondered.

    "Let's go to trial Song De, maybe we can learn something from his mouth." Xiao Zimo suggested.

    Wu Bai nodded and said, "Okay!"
