Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

Shen Ruyi obtained a map of Yangque City from the government office and began to study it.

Besides using the silver and supplies obtained this time for disaster relief, Shen Ruyi plans to build several dikes in the area.

While we're at it, we should also divert and divert the upstream river channel to follow the model of Dujiangyan.

We should try to resolve the flood issue once and for all.

After all, this place floods almost every year, at least there's a difference between big and small floods.

Regardless of size, floods are among the most destructive natural phenomena besides earthquakes.

It's happening too frequently and too often, so this time she wants to resolve it once and for all, ideally once and for all.

Lord Lu, who was away on disaster relief, also returned and joined the group. Shen Ruyi entrusted the construction to Lord Lu.

She doesn't trust anyone else at all, because nobody dislikes getting a bargain.

It's perfectly normal for money to be skimmed off at every level.

This time, we have enough silver to build it according to our own plans and wishes.

Of course, Shen Ruyi had also written to the emperor to ask for his permission to build dikes and change the river course, and the emperor had given his consent.

The government did not want a similar incident to happen again, so it agreed.

Lord Lu readily accepted the offer.

Despite Shen Ruyi and the Emperor's best efforts to prevent the gathering of all the nobles in Yangque City under the guise of a banquet, the matter was still exposed and came to the attention of the court officials.

On the very day he learned of this, Shen Ruyi, the Prince of Donghai, was impeached once again.

This incident was even more egregious, so the court officials were even more furious, their words more intense and their momentum more aggressive.

Several adults spouted platitudes about benevolence and morality, yet did nothing of substance or importance, insisting on putting on a show of self-righteousness and making grand pronouncements.

If Shen Ruyi hadn't been there, she definitely would have twisted off the heads of those things and used them as footballs.

They spout off national laws and regulations, using the guise of doing what's best for the Great Li Dynasty, but they do absolutely nothing.

Because this was done so outrageously, the authorities tried to suppress it, but they simply couldn't.

That's how the impeachment came about.

Of course, she had the emperor as her informant, so Shen Ruyi received the news on the very day she was impeached.

Shen Ruyi continued her usual practice and wrote a long letter overnight and sent it back.

The letter only lamented poverty and described how terrifying the local earthquake was and how destructive it was.

How difficult life is for the local people.

Then the topic turned to the dam, and finally it was suggested that all the ministers should contribute their own acts of kindness.

As the Prince of Donghai during the Dali era, she personally donated 20 taels of silver to the imperial court for disaster relief.

As the emperor's subjects, we should share his burdens and solve his problems.

Anyone who doesn't donate is considered unpatriotic, disloyal, and selfish.

To put it bluntly, she wanted to morally blackmail the ministers and force them to bleed money, since they were too idle.

We must keep them busy and make them feel sorry for us.

She also specifically emphasized that everyone's donation criteria should be based on her own donation amount.

If any court official is unwilling to donate, donates too little, or dares to casually complain about being poor...

Then she could send people directly to the locations of these ministers' silver and treasures.

I hope everyone can withstand this test.

In any case, many ministers' families lived in luxury and extravagance, and were all wealthy people.

Shen Ruyi had no qualms about taking advantage of them.

As for defending herself, she didn't do that this time. She laid her cards on the table and said she was only after the money.

As for the matter of imprisoning others, she would never admit it.

She only acknowledged that she was assassinated on the day of the banquet, and she left those people to investigate the assassin in detail.
