"The money and food brought by the king and the prince have been distributed. However, this can only relieve the temporary disaster. If we want to prevent floods in the coming year, we still have to build canals and dams."
Luo Yun¡¯s eyes lit up!
When he first came to Fu'an County and took office, he wanted to build canals and dams.
Because he knows that only in this way can the problems caused by floods be fundamentally solved.
It¡¯s a pity that Gao Xiancheng is unwilling to spend money on something that has little benefit to him. Everyone in the county government is on Gao Xiancheng¡¯s side, and his orders as a county magistrate cannot be conveyed at all.
As a result, plans to build canals and dams were shelved.
This has always been a regret in Luo Yun's heart.
What King Zhao said at this time was equivalent to giving Luo Yun a chance to make up for his regrets.
He hurriedly agreed.
¡°What the prince said is absolutely true!
For local people, building canals and dams can not only greatly reduce losses caused by floods, but also help local people irrigate their fields.
Once the canal is successfully constructed, it will greatly benefit the local people! "
This kind of benefit is not just for a short period of time, it can last for a long time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it lasts for a hundred years.
Li Ji slowly explained his thoughts.
"The total amount of hidden silver we found from the Gao family, Deng family, and Cao family is 500,000 taels, which should be enough for you to build dams and canals in Fu'an County.
This matter cannot be completed in a short time, and I cannot stay here for too long.
I will now leave this job to you, and I hope you will not disappoint me. "
Luo Yun was extremely excited.
This kind of excitement is stronger than him being exonerated and escaping from death.
He kowtowed heavily to King Zhao.
¡°Everything His Royal Highness King Zhao has done for the people of Fu¡¯an County will be engraved in my heart and I will never forget it!
When the dams and canals are completed, Xiaguan will definitely erect a stone tablet for you to commemorate your great kindness! "
If it were anyone else, they would definitely reject it after hearing such words.
Because the prince¡¯s feelings must be taken into consideration.
What if the prince becomes jealous?
But Li Ji has always gone his own way and never cared about other people's feelings. And now that he and the prince have broken up, he will not care what the prince thinks.
He even had some expectations.
¡°I wonder what the prince¡¯s face will look like when he learns that the people of Fu¡¯an County want to erect a monument to thank King Zhao? It will definitely be exciting.
Li Ji said with a smile: "Then it's settled."
After Luo Yun was helped to leave, Hua Manman walked 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 filled with admiration.
"My lord, you are such a good person!"
Unexpectedly, King Zhao, who was always indifferent and ruthless on weekdays, now actually took the initiative to care about the people's livelihood issues in Fu'an County.
Li Ji glanced at her and immediately knew what she was thinking.
He leaned back and said lazily.
"I'm just too lazy to transport so much money back to Beijing. It's too much trouble."
Hua Manman doesn¡¯t care what the reason is, anyway, the result is that King Zhao did a great thing that benefited 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 were grateful to him simply because they benefited from him.
¡°If one day he can no longer benefit those people, those people will abandon him like worn out shoes.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is human nature.
The prince originally planned to take the two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver back to Beijing.
He wanted to use this to demonstrate his achievements and let his father and the officials see that he not only investigated the corruption case, but also recovered the stolen money. He, the prince, is very capable.
However, King Zhao directly allocated all the two hundred and fifty thousand taels to Fu'an County without even asking him.
When Li Cheng learned about this, he immediately became furious.
He rushed to find King Zhao to argue with him.
At this moment, Li Ji was checking Hua Manman¡¯s homework, and the two of them were very close to each other.
Seeing the prince suddenly rushing in, Hua Manman moved aside knowingly, preparing to stand up and pay tribute to the prince.However, Li Ji stretched out his hand and grabbed her waist, preventing her from leaving.
Hua Manman:? ? ?
What does King Zhao want to do?
Li Ji¡¯s idea 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 trying to figure her out.
Li Cheng became even more angry when he saw this.
He was furious over the two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. How could Prince Zhao still have the heart to have fun with a woman?
This is simply unreasonable!
Li Cheng opened his mouth with merciless questioning.
"Have you forgotten who you are? You are just sent by the emperor to protect Gu's safety. What qualifications do you have to make decisions beyond Gu?!"
Li Ji had obviously expected that the prince would be angry because of this.
He said slowly and unhurriedly.
"The two hundred and fifty thousand taels is the money allocated by the imperial court to Fu'an County to build dams and canals. Now it is being reused for the people of Fu'an County. What's the problem?"
Li Cheng sneered again and again.
"To put it nicely, how can a guy like you who kills people 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! Fishing for fame and reputation! hypocritical! "
Li Ji has long been used to being scolded. There are many uglier words than this. He is not angry at all, and his demeanor is still casual and leisurely.
"I'm just trying to gain fame, what can you do to me? If you have the ability, go grab the two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver back now."
The money has been given out, and the people already know about it.
Everyone is happy and excited about this.
"If the prince goes to snatch the money back at this time, what will the people think of him?"
Does he still want his reputation? !
Li Cheng gritted his teeth with hatred: "You know full well that it is impossible for Gu to get that money back."
Li Ji smiled heartily: "Then there's nothing I can do."
Li Cheng pointed at him.
Because I was so angry, my fingers were trembling.
"Don't be too proud, sooner or later I will make you pay for your arrogance!"
Li Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Are you a three-year-old child? You actually speak harshly like a child."
Li Cheng also knew that harsh words would not help.
But now he can't do anything but say harsh words.
It was only then that he noticed the existence of Hua Ruren. In order to regain his position, he spoke unhesitatingly.
"How do you think you are any better than me?
You can¡¯t even manage your own woman, and you don¡¯t even know that she¡¯s cuckolding you! "
Li Ji lowered his head to look at Hua Manman and asked in a dangerous tone.
"You cuckolded me?"
Hua Manman didn¡¯t expect that she would actually lie down.
She immediately became a master of drama and transformed into a master of tea art. Her eyes quickly turned red and mist gathered.
She choked and said.
¡°I have served the prince for so long. Doesn¡¯t the prince know what kind of person I am?
How can you doubt my loyalty to you just because of someone else¡¯s words? "
