Royal Palace

The emperor looked at the briefings in his hand, one was sent back by the secret guard he sent out, which was about the news from the Golden Phoenix Mansion, and the other was sent back by Gu Jingchun.

Gu Jingchun is now the emperor's special envoy and serves as the deputy mayor of the emerging Quincy County.

Yes, Nangong Yu submitted a memorial stating that Quincy County was not governed by its county magistrate, but by its city lord.

He temporarily served as the city lord, while the deputy city lord was Gu Jingchun, who was sent by the emperor.

Therefore, the emperor now has three memorials in his hands. The third one was sent back by Nangong Yu, the city lord.

According to Nangong Yu, the entire county town has been completed after nearly seven months of construction. He also attached a floor plan of the county town and gave a brief introduction to the operation of the entire city.

In addition to how it worked, it also talked about how much money was spent on building the city, how many people were used, how much stone was used, and how much wood was available.

All the data are there, and it turns out that a lot of money was spent on building this city.

Fortunately, after raiding the Qin family and taking back the gold and silver mines originally owned by the Qin family, the national treasury was now well-funded.

The emperor didn't care so much about how much money Nangong Yu spent on repairing the city.

But after reading the above introduction and reports, the emperor was moved and wanted to go and see the newly built county town.

Not only is the south now hit by floods, but the Nanjun State in the south has begun to station troops in the border towns again. According to reports from the soldiers who are still guarding the border towns, they come to harass the border defenses here from time to time.

But according to the report from the bandits, they were still sending reinforcements from the country to the border town.

It turned out that after the Nanjun Kingdom was defeated by Lord Nangong, they signed a ten-year border non-interference agreement. Now twelve years have passed, and it seems that they have rested well, so they have time to come here, and they learned that the old Lord of the Nangong family has died, and the young Lord is useless.

So here you come to provoke trouble again.

The emperor had no choice but to take out money and quickly prepare supplies to support the south.

But the south was already suffering from floods, and the grain production in many places this year was not just a little bit reduced. Even if Nangong Yu brought back gold and silver for him, he couldn't buy food with money.

So the emperor was very worried.

However, after seeing Gu Jingchun's memorial, the emperor sat up straight.

"I have reported to His Majesty that more than 5,000 acres of good farmland have been reclaimed in Quincy. Rice was planted this spring. The weather is good this year, so there is hope for a good harvest."

The emperor knew about this, and the secret guards came back to report it. It was amazing. It was said that the land was originally intended for reclamation and all the people were ready, but unexpectedly, after the worship of the mountain god, the next night, not only were the weeds on the entire land pulled out, but they were also sorted and put away.

The secret guards found it very magical because they didn't see who pulled out the grass, but all the grass was pulled out, and a lot of the grass pulled out could be used as medicine. In addition to keeping it in the county, they also sold it for several hundred taels of silver.

Because of Nangong Yu's management, the entire county was managed as a whole. Therefore, of the more than 5,000 acres of land, except for the private land awarded to the people who moved here, the other more than 4,000 acres were all public land.

Therefore, after this harvest, the entire Quincy will not only be self-sufficient, but will also have surplus food, and two large granaries will be built.
