Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Li Ji said slowly.

"The money and food brought by the king and the crown prince have already been distributed.

But doing so can only solve the disaster for a while. If there is no flood in the coming year, we still have to build canals and dams. "

Luo Yun's eyes lit up!

When he first took office in Fu'an County last year, he wanted to build canals and dams.

Because he knows that only in this way can we fundamentally solve the problems caused by floods.

It's a pity that Gao Xiancheng is unwilling to spend money on such things that are of no benefit to him. Everyone in the county government is on the side of Gao Xiancheng, and his orders from the county magistrate cannot be conveyed at all.

Plans to build aqueduct dams have been repeatedly put on hold.

This has always been a regret in Luo Yun's heart.

What King Zhao said at this time was tantamount to giving Luo Yun a chance to make up for his regrets.

He hastily agreed.

"What your lord said is true!

As far as the local people are concerned, the construction of canals and dams can not only greatly reduce the losses caused by floods, but also help the local people irrigate their fields.

Once the canal is successfully built, it will greatly benefit the people! "

This kind of benefit is not only for a short period of time, it can last for a long time, even a hundred years is not an exaggeration.

Li Ji slowly expressed his thoughts.

"The Tibetan silver we seized from Gao's, Deng's, and Cao's houses totaled 500,000 taels, which should be enough for your Fu'an County to build dams and canals.

This matter cannot be completed in a short time, and this king cannot stay here for a long time.

This king is entrusting this task to you now, I hope you will not disappoint me. "

Luo Yun was extremely excited.

This kind of excitement is even stronger than him being cleared of his grievances and escaping from death.

He kowtowed heavily to King Zhao.

"Everything that His Royal Highness King Zhao has done for the people of Fu'an County, I will remember it in my heart, and I will never forget it!

On the day when the dikes and canals are completed, Xiaguan will set up a stone tablet for you to commemorate your great kindness and virtue! "

If it were someone else, they would definitely refuse to hear such words.

Because it is necessary to take into account the prince's feelings.

What if the prince feels jealous?

But Li Ji has always gone his own way, never caring about other people's feelings, and now that he has broken up with the prince, he doesn't care what the prince thinks.

He even had some expectations.

I don't know what kind of face the prince will have when he learns that the people in Fu'an County want to erect a monument to thank King Zhao? It's sure to be wonderful.

Li Ji said with a smile: "Then it's settled."

After Luo Yun was helped to leave, Hua Manman came out from behind the screen.

She heard all the conversation between King Zhao and Luo Yun just now.

She looked at King Zhao with eyes full of admiration.

"My lord, you are such a great man!"

Unexpectedly, King Zhao was always indifferent and ruthless on weekdays, but now he took the initiative to care about the people's livelihood in Fu'an County.

Li Ji glanced at her, and immediately understood what she was thinking.

He leaned back and said lazily.

"This king is just too lazy to transport so much money back to Beijing, it's too troublesome."

Hua Manman didn't care about the reason, anyway, the result was that King Zhao did a great deed to benefit the people.

She said with a smile: "The people of Fu'an County will definitely be very grateful to you."

Li Ji didn't care much about this.

Those people are grateful to him only because those people have benefited from him.

If one day he can no longer give those people benefits, those people will abandon him like a shoe.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The prince originally planned to bring the five hundred thousand taels of silver back to Shangjing.

He wanted to use this to show off his merits and let his father and the officials see that he not only found out the corruption case, but also recovered the stolen money. He is a very capable prince.

However, King Zhao didn't even ask him, and directly allocated all the five hundred thousand taels to Fu'an County.

After Li Cheng learned of this, he immediately lost his temper.

He rushed aggressively to find King Zhao's theory.

At the moment Li Ji is checking Hua Manman's homework, and the two of them are very close to each other.

Seeing the prince rushing in suddenly, Hua Manman tactfully moved aside, ready to stand up and salute the prince.

However, Li Ji stretched out his hand and put an arm around her waist, not letting her go.

Huamanman:? ? ?

What is King Zhao trying to do?

What Li Ji thought was actually very simple, he just wanted the prince to see with his own eyes that Hua Manman was his woman, so that the prince would stop thinking about her.

Li Cheng was even angrier when he saw this.

He was in a state of desperation about the five hundred thousand taels of silver, how could this guy, King Zhao, still have the heart to have fun with a woman in his arms?

It is simply unreasonable!

When Li Cheng opened his mouth, he questioned mercilessly.

"Have you forgotten who you are?

You were just sent by the emperor to protect Gu's safety, what qualifications do you have to make decisions beyond Gu? ! "

Li Ji obviously expected that the prince would be furious because of this.

He said without haste.

"The 500,000 taels is the money allocated by the imperial court to build dams and canals in Fu'an County. Now it is used again for the people of Fu'an County. What's the problem?"

Li Cheng sneered again and again.

"To put it nicely, how can a murderer like you care about the lives of ordinary people?

You just want to use this to gain a good reputation in the hearts of the people! Go for fame! hypocritical! "

Li Ji has long been used to being scolded by others, and he has heard many worse words than this.

He wasn't angry at all, and his demeanor was still relaxed and relaxed.

"I'm just fishing for fame, what can you do with me? If you have the ability, go and get back the five hundred thousand taels of silver now."

All the money has been given out, and the common people already know about it.

Everyone is excited about this.

If the prince goes to grab the money back at this time, what will the people think of him?

Does his reputation still exist? !

Li Cheng gritted his teeth with hatred: "You know that it is impossible for Gu to get that money back."

Li Ji laughed heartily: "Then I can't help it."

Li Cheng pointed at him.

His fingers were trembling because of the anger.

"Don't be too complacent, Gu will make you pay for your arrogance sooner or later!"

Li Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Are you a three-year-old child? You still talk harshly like a child."

Li Cheng also knew that harsh words would not help.

But now he can't do anything other than speak harshly.

It wasn't until then that he noticed the existence of Hua Ruren, and in order to get back the scene, he spoke without hesitation.

"Where do you think you are better than me? You can't even control your own woman, and you don't even know she's cuckolded you!"

Li Ji lowered his head to look at Hua Manman, and asked in a dangerous tone.

"You gave me a cuckold?"

Hua Manman didn't expect that she would lie down with a gun.

She immediately turned into a master of tea art, and her eyes quickly turned red, and a hazy mist gathered.

She said with a sob.

"The concubine has served the prince for so long, what kind of person is the concubine, doesn't the prince not know?

How can you doubt my concubine's loyalty to you just because of someone else's words? "
