Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Chapter 425 Unanimous Approval

A man suddenly rushed out from the side, scaring Su Mo. He pulled the reins and the horse raised all four hooves high, stopping narrowly in front of Zhang Jingyao.

"Brother Mo,"

When Zhang Jingyao saw Su Mo, tears suddenly flowed down her face.

Su Kui stepped forward and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Who are you? This is the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Why are you running around? Leave immediately."

Su Kui had a dark face and shook the big knife in his hand, deliberately trying to scare people.

He heard the girl calling "Brother Mo" just now.

This must be another one who wants to enter the Zhenguogong Mansion, huh! The master just got married, and His Highness also promised to give one of his children to inherit the Zhenguogong throne. The two of them are now in love!

We must not allow these blind girls to destroy the feelings of our masters.

Zhang Jingyao was thin and stood facing the wind. She looked at Su Mo with tears in her eyes, her face full of grievance and helplessness, so pitiful.

"Brother Mo, I'm Yao'er, the Yao'er whose life you saved ten years ago."

Su Mo frowned: "I don't know him, leave quickly."

"Brother Mo, how come you don't recognize me? You even made a grasshopper for me. I've been keeping it..."

After entering the prison, he was so sad and angry that he crushed himself.

Su Mo's face was gloomy. "I said I don't know you, and I can't make up any grasshoppers. You recognized the wrong person."

Twelve Guards: I give in. Women nowadays are becoming more and more complicated. In order to get close to their masters, they have learned to make up stories.

At this time, the old housekeeper heard the noise and quickly opened the door to welcome them in. Then everyone walked around Zhang Jingyao and entered the house.

Zhang Jingyao rushed over regardless and was about to grab Su Mo's hand, but was blocked by Su Qi's arm and was knocked aside.

Zhang Jingyao cried out, "Brother Mo, that year under the willow tree outside Beijing, you saved a little girl and gave her a grasshopper. Have you forgotten?"

"Grasshopper?" The old housekeeper looked at Zhang Jingyao curiously and asked, "Are you the little girl who fell from the tree?"

Zhang Jingyao's eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes, yes, it's me, Brother Mo. Someone has testified for me. You should recognize me, right?"

Completely confused, Su Mo walked into the mansion without even looking back.

The twelve guards looked at the old butler: What's going on? Is this person really an old acquaintance?

The old housekeeper said with a smile, "Miss, if you are really the little girl who fell from the tree, then I am your savior, and it has nothing to do with my young master."

Twelve Guards: So it was the old butler who caused the romantic debt?

The old housekeeper said, "When I was taking my young master back to the capital, we passed by a willow forest on the outskirts of the capital. You happened to fall from a tree, and I saved you. At that time, my young master was eight feet away from you!"

He emphasized the three words "eight zhang far".

“I originally wanted to give that grasshopper to my young master, but you cried so hard at the time, so I gave it to you.

So, the savior you're talking about must be me. But I don't need you to repay me, so just leave my house."

Zhang Jingyao refused to leave. "You are his servant, aren't you?"

The old butler nodded.

Zhang Jingyao said: "Then you saved me, which means Brother Mo saved me."

Everyone: Is this possible?

The old housekeeper was furious: "How can you not know the difference between right and wrong, kid? I saved your life, but also saved you from trouble?"

Su Qi also said: "Also, you are allowed to call my master's name? Brother Mo, does my master know who you are?"

Zhang Jingyao shouted, "That's not the case."

It was true that the old man saved her at that time, but when he was weaving grasshoppers for her, he said to the wealthy young master standing on a high place: "I will weave another one for you later."

He nodded.

When she looked over, she saw the rich young master standing high up in the light, and he caught her eye immediately.

After the man left, some people started talking about it, and she realized that this man was Su Mo, the youngest Duke of Zhenguo in the capital.

From then on, Brother Mo became her inner demon.

The gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was closed again, and Zhang Jingyao was carried by two servants and thrown a hundred steps away.

"If you dare to come any closer to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, I'll break your legs."

Zhang Jingyao was desperate.

After an unknown amount of time, an old woman carrying a basket of vegetables came over and said something to the distraught Zhang Jingyao, and then Zhang Jingyao followed her.

The doorman Xiao Si watched this scene from a distance and shook his head: This woman came here to cause trouble for no reason, it's really nonsense.

In the teahouse on the other side, a woman smiled maliciously.

At the morning court, Song Jinxiu wore the dragon robe of the princess, stood beside the emperor, and participated in the court proceedings.

She proposed that the Ministry of War establish a military bureau and use a unified scale to draw a national map of Cangwu.

Especially Annan County, which is now the territory of Cangwu, the map must be detailed and accurate.

The Military Affairs Department's Zhifang Division was not only responsible for drawing maps of the entire country, but also had to understand geological surveys and be able to conduct preliminary surveys of mineral resources while drawing maps.

Each prefecture was required to update its maps every three years and submit them to the Ministry of War for record. The same rule was applied to the number of official military chariots and cavalry.

Map drawing requires specialized talent, and Wei Chuwu of the Xuantian Sect is a leader in this field. Song Jinxiu made an exception and appointed him as a Langzhong in the Military Affairs Department, a fifth-rank official.

The emperor had no objection, and no one else had any objection.

"A good ruler must first eliminate the five evils, of which water is the greatest."

Song Jinxiu suggested that in addition to clearing the river channels to prevent floods in winter, ditches should be dug to divert water into the fields to form an irrigation water network.

Not only does the irrigation system need to be planned, but there must also be a drainage system.

Water wheels should be fully promoted and utilized.

If agriculture can ensure stable harvests regardless of drought or flood, the people will never go hungry.

The emperor has no objection, and no one has any objection!

Song Jinxiu also proposed to set up a shipping department along the coast to build ships and strengthen the naval defense force.

Build ports, set up customs offices, develop overseas trade, and give seafarers an additional mission: to collect seeds of grain crops from overseas.

There is no corn here yet.

Corn has a high yield. If we can introduce corn, we can at least solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the shortest time possible.

The Minister of Revenue said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, the southern border has just been pacified, and the autumn harvest has reduced taxes. The national treasury has no money."

I fully agree with your series of proposals, but the treasury is empty and there is no money!

A penny can make a hero fall. The Minister of Revenue knows this all too well!

Song Jinxiu: This money comes from my private treasury, and the Ministry of Revenue will keep the account. I will return it to you later.

Liu Renxiu wanted to laugh, and his eyes became slightly warm.

I have been emperor for so many years, but I have never been so arrogant.

The Minister of Revenue asked, "Your Highness, do you have enough money?"

Song Jinxiu: "You should calculate a number first. It's not all at once. It should be okay to spend it in batches."

There is also a small gold mountain in the space that I got from the Grand Princess!

Piled up gold, silver, and jewelry took up space, but she didn't feel bad at all about using them to build national defense.

Everyone: I have a rich princess, and I feel happy. What should I do?

Don't worry about money.

So, the emperor had no objection, and everyone had no objection!

Again passed unanimously.
