"My husband, why are you always frowning? But you have encountered difficulties?"

Until dinner, Chen E was silent, very different from the past, and Wen Jiao couldn't help asking.

“Oh ~~”

Chen E sighed, and without saying much, he ate the rice that tasted like white wax.

The so-called book is only a little regretful when it is used. Only then did he realize the true taste. He was the deputy township chief and administrative staff in his previous life. He could not do anything about time traveling artifacts such as boiling salt and iron, soap and perfume. He only knows how to manage people, but he can't make money.

But if you really have the magical skills of time travel, you may not dare to take them out. After all, this is an era where gods and mortals live together. If you show too special skills, it will be easy to be noticed by the gods in the sky. Once the roots and feet of time travelers are dug out, it is probably not a good thing.

Wen Jiao said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. I am a husband and wife, and I am one. If my husband is in trouble, why can't we tell my concubine?"

"It's hard to speak!"

Chen E said with a wry smile.

"My husband, just say that!"

Wen Jiao stared at her eyes widened.

Chen E stuttered: "I went up the river embankment today, but I saw that the river embankment was outdated, so I ordered the levy of labor service. However, the rich gentry was repulsive and unwilling to pledge it. The treasury took extremely limited, only 5,000 taels of silver, so I am afraid it won't last long..."

"Honey, wait!"

After listening, Wen Jiao went back to the inner room without saying a word, took out a box, opened it and saw that it was full of jewelry and several boxes of gold beans.

"Madam, this..."

Chen E's heart was shocked!

Wen Jiao said seriously: "My husband is in trouble. How can I stand by and watch? Although I don't know why my husband has to build a river embankment during the busy farming season, my husband is not a fool and will not do stupid things. He must have his own reasons. These are my concubine's dowry, and it can be worth ten thousand taels of silver. My husband will take it to help me first. If it is not enough, I will write a book and go home and ask my father to help me."

Chen E's eyes were filled with affection. If he had just been greedy for Wen Jiao's beauty before, then at this time, he really regarded Wen Jiao as his wife, so he nodded and said, "My wife said it well, husband and wife are one, and I will never let you down in this life!"

Wen Jiao smiled slightly, and this moment was simply beautiful!

...

The next day, Chen E and Li Biao exchanged the gold beads for silver. The jewelry was temporarily used, with a total of 12,000 taels of silver. Then he put the money into the treasury and asked the treasury officials to write an IOU to himself. The money was paid privately and lent to the Jiangzhou Yamen to build a dam.

I will pay him back when I have money in the future.

He would not use the money to supplement the Li family. After all, the lord of the Tang Dynasty was Li Shimin, not him.

It is easy to do things when you have money. A large number of civilians were recruited to the river embankment. Although they were in charge of two meals, they were still full of resentment. Many people scolded him behind his back and made trouble. The rich gentry and family came to petition every few days, demanding that he be remanded for the people and stop building the river embankment.

Chen E turned a blind eye to the river embankment, and practiced himself to guide the civilians to build sandbags. He had experience in this set of experience. Flood fighting and rescue in his previous life was one of the compulsory courses for all grassroots cadres. He adopted the system of contracting the responsibility layer by layer. Chen E copied the river beach and divided the river beach to everyone in the yamen according to sections. This was even more like poking a hornet's nest. Wherever he went, he kept scolding.

Time passes quickly, and before you know it, it is May thirteenth!

Early this morning, Chen E looked at the river embankment reinforced by rows of mud and sandbags, and felt a sense of accomplishment, but looking up again, the clear sky and the red sun on the horizon, he felt a little worried about gains and losses.

No flood will come, right?

Then he wasted his money and forced the river embankment to repair the river embankment became a huge joke. He knew that many people in Jiangzhou City were waiting to see his jokes and see how he, the new top student, made a fool of himself.

"My husband!"

Wen Jiao took Li Biao to the embankment, looking at Chen E who had become a little darker and lost weight again, quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and said with a heartache: "Don't my husband stayed up all night last night, right?"

Chen E smiled and said, "My wife is wrong. I just woke up. Did you bring breakfast?"

"Master, please have a meal!"

Li Biao handed over the basket, including steamed buns, pickles and two boiled eggs.

Chen E was so hungry that she squatted on the dam and picked up the steamed bun and started eating.

"Hey, it's cloudy!"

I don’t know who it was, but suddenly screamed and saw the rolling clouds spreading rapidly from the west. In a moment, the translucent sky was already dark.

Chen E turned his head and said, "Madam, it's really going to rain. You can go back first."

Wen Jiao smiled and said, "I have brought an umbrella. Isn't my husband repairing the river embankment just for today? I want to see how much rain can rain."

"Yeah, that's fine!"

Chen E glanced at her beloved wife and nodded.

Yin Kaishan was a hero who followed Li Shimin to conquer the world. He had superb martial arts and Yin Wenjiao also had a bit of family tradition. He was not a kind of weak woman. If he really wanted to do it, Chen E would probably not be able to pass two or three moves.

The clouds are still thickening. Above, many gods, including Thunder God and Ding Mother, Feng Bo and Yu Master, and others, returned to their positions on the clouds.

“Huh?”

Lei Gong looked down and said in surprise: "How come there are so many mortals on the river embankment?"

According to Chen E's lump area, along the banks of the Hongjiang River, there were groups of civilians and men, led by their respective officials, all wearing hats, shovels, hoes and other tools. In addition to being reinforced by mud bags, many spare mud bags were piled up behind the river embankment.

The Dianmu chuckled disdainfully: "A mere mortal, I think that if the river embankment is reinforced, I can stop the natural disasters? Then what's the use of asking me to wait for the gods? It's simply a delusion!"

Feng Bo smiled with a smile: "Dianmu said it well. After careful calculation, this flood can flood half of the fertile land. The Jade Emperor Zhu Bi Yu ordered him to criticize him. Who can resist? After a few years of good days, these mortals have forgotten that they have been in a good mood. It is time to teach them some lessons!"

Master Yu smiled and said, "It's better to start with Thunder Lord!"

Lei Gong held two magic weapons like gongs in his hand, and with a bang, it made a deafening sound.

"Thunder, thunder!"

On the river embankment, a civilian man shouted loudly.

The electric mother also shook her hands, and two lightning bolts were fired.

Feng Bo waved his sleeves, and in an instant, a strong wind blew!

Master Yu was a strong man with black beard holding a bowl in his left hand and a dragon was filled with it. He opened Meng and released the dragon. The dragon roared angrily, opened his mouth and spit out a pillar of water. Suddenly, a torrential rain fell from the sky!

The people standing on the embankment naturally could not see the gods in the sky. Facing the power of the sky, they were full of panic. Suddenly someone pointed at the river and shouted: "Look, what is that?"

I saw a huge monster vaguely stirring under the rain curtain, and the wind and waves became even more urgent.

"Master, this isn't that old dragon?"

Li Biao asked loudly with his head close.

"It's this old guy, it seems like I have to remind him!"

Chen E smiled coldly and said, "Get my crossbow!"

"oh!"

Li Biao quickly filled in the arrow and handed it over.

Chen E raised his crossbow and aimed at the old Dragon King.

"Hey? What is Tang Zun doing?"

"Then...that's the Dragon Prince, how dare Tang Zun shoot the Dragon Prince?"

"Don't annoy the Dragon Prince!"

The officials around him noticed Chen E's actions and shouted in panic.

Chen E ignored it and pulled the trigger violently.
