Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

The letter also explained that it was not advisable to disturb too many people, as some people were instigating and guiding the rioters behind the scenes, and it would be bad to alarm them.

According to the writer's expectations, Qiao Zhizhi would be anxious and couldn't wait to leave the city and go to Tianhe Province.

But Qiao Zhizhi was very calm when she received the letter and went into the room.

She picked up a conch shell and called out to Sickle.

Qiao Jianer is now checking the terrain in a large farmland that often suffers from floods and droughts in summer.

Because of the mountains blocking the way, water vapor cannot pass through, and drought will occur when there is little rainfall.

If too much water vapor accumulates above the mountains, and strong winds from the sea blow over the mountains and hit the clouds, there will be heavy rain. The terrain here is low and flat, which can easily cause floods and submerge farmland.

Both situations will lead to production cuts.

If we want to solve the flood problem, we must build drainage facilities, intercept what should be intercepted and drain what should be drained.

In fact, previous officials must have thought about this problem, but it requires a large amount of financial investment, and the drainage methods in ancient times were backward. Even if countless amounts of money were invested, there might not be much effect.

To solve the problem of drought, we need to store water and build water storage projects.

The most crucial thing about these two measures is just one word: money.

Not only the successive officials, but even the emperor knew this. Otherwise, why had the flood and drought problems in Tianhe Prefecture, one of the eight prefectures in the capital, not been resolved for a long time?

But she is different. She has money and has developed technological experience that has lasted for thousands of years.

Since those ministers were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, she would put the evidence in front of them, leaving them speechless and convinced.

"Sickle." A familiar voice sounded in my mind.

"Well, Sister Zhizhi, what's the matter?"

"Are you okay? Is there any trouble in Tianhe Province?"

Qiao Jianer smiled and said, "What kind of trouble could there be?"

She immediately reacted: "Did something happen?"

"I received a letter saying that you were surrounded by rioters."

"Oh, it's fake. They tricked you out of the city. I guess it was the Ouyang family's doing."

Qiao Jianer's calm tone made Qiao Zhizhi feel relieved.

"I'm glad you're okay. The first thing I thought of when I got the letter was to ask you about the situation."

"I guess it will take a few days for me to come back. Sister Zhizhi, if you go out, bring more secret guards with you."

"it is good."

Qiao Jianer's eyes turned cold. The Ouyang family seemed determined to not give up until they achieved their goal. Also, with such a big handle in the hands of others, it would be too late for the Ouyang family to recover.

Judging by the time, there should be some progress on Pei Er's side.

She made a careful plan based on the local terrain, and then went to the government office in Tianhe Prefecture.

Because Tianhe Prefecture became her fiefdom, the governor of the prefecture had been transferred away, but other lower-level officials like Beijia and Zhizhong were retained to serve as her subordinates.

Now, these officials sat in the hall, silent.

They really couldn't understand why a sixteen-year-old girl was allowed to manage them. Even if she had some abilities and could rise from a country girl to a county lady, then to a princess defending the country, it was mostly just a trick and a piece of paper talk.

The problems in Tianhe Prefecture are very difficult and cannot be solved by just talking. It requires real money and effective measures.

Qiao Jianer asked someone to send down some drawings for them to review.

"This is my plan. Within three years, I will give Tianhe Province a brand new look."

The officials took up the blueprints and looked at them. Not only were there detailed drawings of the various facilities, but there were also relevant explanations. Behind each facility, the number of workers, budget, how to build it, and how much money it would cost were all clearly marked.

They were all a little surprised that the Princess Zhenguo was indeed quite capable.

But as they thought, it was only on paper.

"Princess, you know we need so much silver." Zhou Biejia smiled. "The plan on the blueprint is indeed eye-catching, but the treasury of Tianhe Province is far from sufficient for this project, and the capital is even less likely to allocate funds. It would be a huge burden no matter where it is allocated."

Chen Zhizhong put the drawings aside, took a sip of tea, and seemed to be doing it reluctantly.

"Alas, Princess, it's not that we don't cooperate with you. Now that you are the master of Tianhe Province, we should naturally obey your orders. But after all, you are new here and know very little about the situation here. Do you know that Tianhe Province hasn't paid taxes to the capital for ten years? This is a gift from the royal family, but also a helpless situation, because all taxes are used to subsidize the people of Tianhe Province. Otherwise, Tianhe Province would not be able to maintain its status as one of the eight major provinces under such difficult conditions."

Li Hucao had a half-smile on his face: "Otherwise, Princess, you would think that the whole world belongs to the king. Why would the emperor give you such a large state? You don't have to pay taxes anyway. It's useless to eat it and it's a pity to abandon it."

These officials all spoke in a sarcastic tone, and their voices were filled with dissatisfaction with the current situation.

Yes, in a place like this, it is impossible to make any political achievements, and there is no hope of promotion in this life.

So, they are old and full of complaints.

"Take the plan on the princess's drawing for example. Where will the money come from? With so many corvee labor, the people are definitely unwilling to obey. And how will the supplies be transported for these flood and drought prevention facilities?" Zhou Biejia was responsible for assisting the governor of a state in handling various affairs and pointed out various problems sharply.

"I'll pay for it. The corvée service isn't in vain. I'll pay the wages. If someone dies, there's compensation and funeral expenses. I also have 40,000 cavalrymen and excellent horses to transport the supplies. Aren't you afraid it's not enough?"

Qiao Jianer's resounding voice rang out in the lobby, and all the subordinate officials were startled and looked at each other in confusion.

"Princess, you can't brag about this," said Chen Zhizhong.

"follow me."

Qiao Jianer walked out of the conference hall.

The officials looked at each other and wanted to see what tricks the princess would play, so they followed her out.

As they walked by, they were whispering to each other, all looking at each other with a mocking and distrustful attitude.

Qiao Jianer walked to her living room, pushed open the door to the hall, and light poured in.

I saw dozens of boxes lined up side by side, and the boxes were filled with densely packed silver bills, each of which was worth a thousand taels.

The officials thought they were dazzled and rubbed their eyes.

That’s right, it was money, countless amounts of money, money that could be piled up into a mountain if converted into silver.

"Why did the emperor allow me to raise cavalry privately? Because I can afford it, and it can also be used by the Great Ze State."

"The reason why the Emperor designated Tianhe Province as my fiefdom is because I can support it. If it can prosper one day, it will also be a trump card for the Daze Kingdom."

"You just need to cooperate with me to play this hand well."
