The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

It is obvious that Prince An is not a stupid man.

Regardless of his purpose, after making great achievements, at such a young age, even in his teenage years, he did not get carried away by the praises around him, but accurately grasped what he was going to do next...

Anyway, when Li Qingyi heard about this, she just thought that her fourth brother was really amazing.

The Crown Prince and the Queen also seemed to be quite admiring of the Fourth Prince in front of Li Qingyi.

The queen was okay. After all, no matter how outstanding the Fourth Prince was, he was the child of her husband and another woman. Even if the queen was very generous, she would still mind this matter to some extent. It was just that her reason would not allow her to be so fussy about it.

It was different with the Crown Prince. When he praised the Fourth Prince in front of Li Qingyi, Li Qingyi, who considered himself a political idiot, was a little hesitant to speak. He wondered whether he should remind the Crown Prince a little, at least not... to trust a brother who was also in the line of succession to the throne.

At least, Li Qingyi herself felt that if her brother had a filter for other people, he might be tricked when he was not paying attention.

But she ended up saying nothing, because Li Qingyi soon discovered that her biological brother and her half-brother... were actually going in opposite directions.

It’s not that Prince An said anything nice in front of Li Qingyi, but... after Prince An returned to the capital, he was quite popular in the capital. Basically, whenever Li Qingyi left the palace, he would randomly hear people discussing their newly-minted god of war in some corner.

It is said that if the current Daning did not have the extra energy to control the new territory, Prince An and the generals at the border at that time would have torn off the Tatar territory and filled it into the Daning territory.

In the end, they didn't do so. The main reason was that Daning was too busy at the moment, and the emperor and even the ministers understood that one cannot bite off more than one can chew.

However, this time the Tatars and the forces that cooperated with them suffered a great loss. It will be difficult for the other side to recover within at least ten years, so it can be considered a good gain.

As for whether the other party can recover after ten years... Li Qingyi is still very confident about this - they have the system and college students on their side, so they can definitely push Daning's technology up a notch, right?

If it weren't for Li Qingyi, it would be hard to say whether ten years would be enough for them to make some changes to Daning, but with Li Qingyi's path, some things became inevitable.

So, at least in this matter, Wang Xuan and others are confident.

Li Qingyi also has it.

Apart from anything else, there have been significant changes in the capital city in the past three years.

When he just recovered his memory, Li Qingyi himself did not expect that after traveling through ancient times, he would be able to live in a classroom fully equipped with glass windows and attend classes at the age of seven.

Well, this refers to the study room.

In fact, in the past three years, not only have glass windows become the choice of wealthy families in and outside the capital, but cement roads have also appeared on the main roads of the capital thanks to the efforts of Wang Xuan and Chen Qicong.

However, because there have been many floods in the south in recent years, local places have reported flood conditions every year, some serious and some minor. So as soon as the cement was produced, Wang Xuan and Chen Qicong tried hard to persuade the emperor and the prince to use cement for water conservancy.

Some ministers also saw the benefits of cement. There happened to be a war in the northwest at that time, so some ministers suggested that if cement was used to build city walls, it would significantly improve the security of the Daning border.

But in the end, the newly built cement plant still gave priority to spending resources on water conservancy. The reason... well, while everyone in the court was still arguing about what to build first, the northwest was pacified by Prince An's combination of time, place and people.

Then the priorities have been determined, and there is no need to argue anymore - the border is stable for the time being, so let's quickly resolve the internal problems.

Here we have to mention the chain of interests involved in the development of water conservancy projects in all dynasties - everyone knows that building water conservancy projects costs money, but how it costs money, well... haha.

Many times, when the imperial court allocated funds and materials to local areas, some losses were inevitable along the way.

The losses include the transportation of materials and the greed of people who secretly put money into their own pockets.

This kind of thing has even become a tacit rule at certain times. Sometimes the imperial court will turn a blind eye and allow some officials to earn some gray income in this way, as long as the ultimate goal can be achieved.

But the problem is that some people are not satisfied with this. For the sake of profit, they replace materials to earn the price difference, causing the water conservancy projects such as dams that could originally resist floods to become shoddy projects. It’s fine when nothing goes wrong, but once something goes wrong, the consequences are...

The emergence of cement, with its low cost, completely different materials from the past, and characteristics that are too special and therefore likely to be seized once it is sold, has caused losses to some people who could have benefited from it.

They don't think that what they did was wrong, but instead hate the person who made the cement.

Wang Xuan, Chen Qicong and some craftsmen who participated in the development of cement suddenly became unlucky during that period. Someone even hired a killer to assassinate them.

Not only these two people, but also an official who strongly advocated using cement to replace the previous materials used to build the dam was more or less threatened.

Well, then Li Qingyi, who received the news, spent 3000 merits to get the entire list of people involved. That was her biggest expenditure so far.

She even had bad luck several times because of the sharp drop in merit points in a short period of time, and even lost her front teeth - although it was also because she was in the period of changing teeth and it happened to fall out when she fell, it cannot be denied that she was indeed unlucky.

These 3000 merits were earned after cement was produced. Li Qingyi and Wang Xuan built a village with cement in the suburbs for some displaced disaster victims on the pretext of testing the material of cement.

Of course, according to the system, saving a few hundred people is not worth 3000 merits.

The real reason why Li Qingyi was able to obtain more than 3000 merits after sharing them with Wang Xuan and other people involved was the impact of the emergence of cement houses on this era.

In short, Li Qingyi's spending money on the game gave his father two scares.

One time, she easily brought out a series of people, big and small, involved in the incident, and even wrote a memorial in a very straightforward and realistic manner and sent it to the Qianqing Palace.

The second time was when she consumed a large amount of merit and became obviously unlucky.

Especially when she fell and got up with blood all over her mouth, the emperor who happened to come to see his daughter was so frightened that his heart stopped beating.

Li Qingyi: Although but...I will dare to do it again next time!
