Chapter 34 Private Property
Ji Qiang tapped those points with his finger, "I wonder if Song Qing has thought about it, if next year or the year after that, the big river encounters a major flood, the flood discharge capacity of these places will be far from enough..."

Song Gantang thought about it very seriously, and he understood what Ji Qiang meant.

Floods are ruthless. For many years, the water conservancy project of Dajiang has been slack. If it is true as His Majesty said, then it will be an incalculable loss.

"If you travel day and night to catch up, half a year is acceptable." After careful calculation, Song Gantang thought it was feasible.

Ji Qiang was overjoyed, "Does Song Qing have someone to recommend? You can order him as an imperial envoy to go to several places to supervise and monitor the progress of the project."

Song Gantang: "..."

Your Majesty, this is the rush to start repairing the canal tomorrow.

What about silver?
"Report to Your Majesty, even with the most frugal budget for several projects, it will cost 200 million taels."

Ji Qiang: "..."

When I was happy, I almost forgot that she had no money.

At this moment, Shang Liujia invited Ji Qiang to the table, and the breakfast had been set. Four simple side dishes, one soup, and a plate of milk pastry, all of which did not support the corner of the table, seemed very shabby.

"Song Qing eats first, I will figure out a solution for the money."

What can I do?The treasury is empty, and she doesn't have a single coin in her hand.Although the autumn harvest is over, and the treasury has entered several sums of money one after another, Tang Chongjian has kept his hands on it. In his words, this is for next year’s Liang Liang. He, he appointed to fight her desperately.

Even if she fights for it in next year's budget, the water conservancy issue, which has always been neglected, will definitely not win a few dollars.

In Tang Chongjian's words, every coin must be used wisely.

But there are too many blades...

And who would have thought that God was going to perish and splash a few big rivers down?

There is another situation that she has never thought about, that is, it is related to the way of heaven. God may have made changes, and several big rivers will not flow down. After all, this time the national teacher was left in Daliang by God... But this Risk, does she dare to take it?
After breakfast, Song Gantang proposed to observe Ji Qiang's sand table, and Shang Liujia took him to the Fengsheng Hall.

Ji Qiang walked into the inner room silently, opened her treasure box, and took out a bunch of delicate and unique keys from it.

This is the key to her father's private treasury, which was handed over to her by her cousin Xia Qiongju on the day the Qilin Guard was built.

All the gold and silver in the private treasury were left to her by her father.At that time, she was still young, and the father was afraid that she would not be able to keep her, so he handed her over to her uncle for safekeeping.

Ji Qiang took the key, turned around and went to Luoxia Residence.

Since her father died of illness, this place has been banned by the late emperor, and she has not been here for many years as a human being for two lifetimes.The last time she visited the garden, she didn't have the courage to set foot here after all because of "being close to the hometown".

When the wooden door with mottled red paint was creaked open, and the scenery inside came into view, Ji Qiang almost cried.

If it is said that her heart riddled with holes is still a little intact, this is her only softness.

The time when I was babbling and learning language when I was young, trembling and toddling, at this moment, it seems that I can be touched, and everywhere, there is the shadow of my father.

……

Shang Liujia stood far away, the trembling back made him breathless.

Your Majesty is missing King Xia, and he misses him too.

How many times in their sleep, they were all shadows of King Xia teaching them to read and practice martial arts.They entered the palace as slaves when they were young. Before they met King Xia, they lived and died several times, and suffered a lot, but King Xia never regarded them as lowly palace slaves. Sometimes, when he looked at them, he looked like a father. love.

"Liujia." Ji Qiang called softly, and Shang Liujia rushed forward.

The monarch and his ministers went into the warehouse together, and a dozen large boxes were neatly placed. Because no one cleaned them for many years, a thick layer of dust fell on the boxes.

Ji Qiang opened one casually, a box full of gold ingots...

"Your Majesty." Shang Liujia was overjoyed, and quickly opened all the remaining boxes.

Six boxes of gold, ten boxes of silver, and several boxes of jewelry made of pearls, gems, and jade.

"Liujia, how much do you estimate?"

"I'm incompetent, so I can't estimate it. Look, Your Majesty, these gold ingots and silver ingots are of different sizes, and I don't know what's going on with each layer below."

Ji Qiang picked up a gold ingot and weighed it in his hand. Hearing what Shang Liujia said, he picked it up. The gold collided with each other and made a very pleasant sound, which made people intoxicated.

At this time, Shang Liujia said again: "However, judging from the size of the boxes, each box weighs at least [-] catties."

"Or even a thousand catties."

Eight hundred or one thousand catties?Ji Qiang burst into ecstasy in his heart. At the lowest estimate, his father left her more than 50 taels of silver!

"Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to settle the matter right now, and the result will be available in one day."

"Slow down. Go and invite Wang Yafu and others, and the gold and silver will be handed over to them for liquidation."

"Your Majesty..." Shang Liujia was very surprised, but he heard Ji Qiang say: "Instead of being idle cooking and embroidering flowers, it's better to do two practical things for me."

Is this what he's worried about?

"Your Majesty, so much gold and silver..."

"Father once taught me that you don't have to be suspicious when you employ people, and you don't need to be suspicious of people. Go ahead and invite them all."

……

Shang Liujia ran to deliver the decree, and Ji Qiang continued to move the gold and silver from one box to another. Later, he went to look at the jewelry, and accidentally found the golden longevity lock that she had worn when she was young. , the emerald Buddha pendant that has been opened, the hair rope used to tie the balls, with a ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg hanging on it...

These jewelries were specially packed into a purple gold wooden box, and there was a piece of yellowed paper at the bottom of the box, which was a painting.

Under the luxuriant and delicate peach tree, a little girl in a pink dress with a ball head was holding a small wooden stick and poking ants intently.

On the upper corner of the painting is written: The peach blossoms are shining brightly.

There is also a word in the lower corner: Yaoyao, my son, live a long life.

Ji Qiang collapsed immediately, tears streaming down like a river that has broken its embankment.

The bizarre experience, the vicissitudes of the two lives, the depression since rebirth, everything is submerged in the thoughts of her father, she even complained to God while crying, since she was asked to come back, why not let her come back a few years earlier, Even if she was allowed to meet her father again...

Completely immersed in grief and complicated emotions, Ji Qiang didn't realize that Shang Liujia and others entered the door at all, and Shang Liujia who brought all the saints and servants into the door did not expect to see this scene. Before he left, His Majesty was still happy, why did he cry for a while.

He reacted very quickly, and immediately pushed everyone to retreat, but at this moment, Ji Qiang, who noticed the movement, raised his head.

It's not that everyone retreats, it's not that they don't retreat, they all froze in place.

Ji Qiang realized that he had made a fool of himself, and the majesty of the monarch was gone, so he suppressed and suppressed before suppressing his anger.

After wiping away tears and tidying up her appearance, she got up, "I invite all my fathers to come..."

As soon as the words came to this point, they stopped abruptly.

Because Wang Shengjun's face was full of tears, and the men behind him bowed their heads silently.

Ji Qiang couldn't continue.
