She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Chapter 7 All the ways to make money are blocked
"You have a solution?" There was hope in the old housekeeper's cloudy eyes.

Li Yewu smiled lightly: "Not yet, but... please trouble me to find all the county chronicles and miscellaneous stories of Taihe City. I will retreat and think about it. Maybe there will be a turning point."

"Uh... yes..."

Finally, a master asked to read a book, and the old housekeeper was very excited.

Soon he became sad again, and sold all the books in the mansion, and he had to buy the county chronicles if he wanted them.

...They really ran out of money, the old housekeeper thought about it, and finally decided to go to Governor Cui to borrow the county annals.

……

Li Yewu is a cautious person. Before leaving for a place, he will do a background check on the place in advance, and only after he has fully understood the culture, customs, specialties, and taboos of the whole city can he act.

Although coming here is not voluntary, but since I am here, I can only tell myself to adapt.

Therefore, reading the county annals is the fastest way.

It is also fortunate that this body is a princess who has just arrived, and it is reasonable to be ignorant of the customs here.

In this way, Li Yewu started the schedule of retreating to check the information.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye...

During this period, Li Yewu almost touched all the past and present lives of the ancestors of Taihe Prefecture.

Five years ago, Taihe Prefecture was a small country named "Taihe" attached to the Great Chu Empire.

However, King Taihe was dissatisfied with the increasingly burdensome tribute and secretly complied with the old enemy of the Great Chu Empire.

In a rage, the Emperor of Chu annexed this small country and turned it into his own prefecture and county, which was renamed Taihe Prefecture.

King Taihe and his nobles were exiled, all his property was confiscated and sent back to the Dachu treasury, and the changed Taihe Prefecture was also given to Xiao Jiuxi as a fiefdom.

There is a main city in Taihe Prefecture, which is Taihe City where she is now, and there are four other counties, all of which are under the jurisdiction of Xiao Jiuxi, and there are also governors and county magistrates under his command.

Xiao Jiuxi is equivalent to the king here, all the officials of Taihe Prefecture obey him, and he obeys the emperor of Chu.

However, I don't know whether it was because he was afraid of shooting the first bird, or because he really had no ink in his chest. All in all, the county magistrate here did not help Xiao Jiuxi, but let him go further and further.

Li Yewu has reason to suspect that although these officials are in the heart of Dachu, they are in the former dynasty. They wish that Xiao Jiuxi would be as outrageous as possible; The goal is to eat Xiao Jiuxi into poverty.

Of course, the above is just Li Yewu's personal speculation.

But this is not important, the debt problem is the first to bear the brunt.

however……

Li Yewu supported his chin with one hand, and tapped unconsciously on the table with the other hand, completely trapped by Xiao Jiuxi's mess.

You need money to pay off your debts.

But all of Xiao Jiuxi's permanent property was sold off, and he didn't have any fields, shops, or Zhuangzi.

These days, she went through Xiao Jiuxi's private treasury, and there was nothing in her sleeves...

She couldn't find anything that could make money.

Moreover, when checking the private treasury, Li Yewu discovered that besides the four major families, Xiao Jiuxi had many, many, many other IOUs.

The third prince's, the fourth prince's, and even the ninth prince's... The sum of the numbers can move mountains and seas.

Of course, it’s okay for Xiao Jiuxi to use the money to move mountains and reclaim the sea. At any rate, he has contributed to the expansion of the territory of the Great Chu. Unfortunately, he did not use the money to move mountains and seas, but threw his brains into the so-called The big plan of "benefiting the people and benefiting the people" has gone.

Li Yewu can already glimpse the future, as long as Xiao Jiuxi doesn't die, besides paying back the money, she still pays back the money!

But as long as Xiao Jiuxi died, she...would have to finish the game.

The future is really dark! !

Thinking of the sad future, Li Yewu could only urge himself to come to the big ticket and solve the immediate problem first.

She unconsciously listed the fastest way to get money:

Open the Taihe state tax treasury and embezzle public funds!

Using the "remnants of the previous dynasty" as an excuse to copy the wealth of the four major merchants.

Assemble private soldiers to kill bandits and collect stolen money!
……

List them one by one, one by one is more ruthless.

However... none of them came true.

Not to mention whether there is any money in the tax treasury, if she really embezzles money from the Taihe state tax treasury to repay Xiao Jiuxi's debts, the emperor's killing order will come down in the next second.

As for the ransacking of the house, the four major families have been in Taihe Prefecture for many years. If they are moved, who knows if the remnants of the previous dynasty will be involved. If they counterattack her... Dream Town will not be implemented.

Although killing bandits and stealing money is a good way, but...

Thinking of the fighting power of the servants of Shang Palace, she silently dismissed the idea.

After much deliberation, there is only one last way.

Ask God for food.

As the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on water to drink water, Li Yewu opened the topographic map of Taihe Prefecture and started a new round of calculations.

As I said before, the Great Chu Empire is a continent surrounded by the sea, with a very wide area.

Taihe Prefecture is located on the coast of the Great Chu Empire, with mountains on the left, sea on the right, and a rushing river in the middle. If this map is accurate, then this place is indeed geographically favorable.

Gold mines can be dug by the mountains, oil can be dug by the sea, the land on the left and right sides of the river is fertile and suitable for farming, and the rivers and estuaries are open, suitable for shipping and business.

Well planned can indeed become a superb town.

The more Li Yewu watched it, the more he liked it. It must be great to take over such a town in modern times.

Even if it is ancient times, it doesn't matter. If you plan well, this place will become the legendary Garden of Eden.

She can't wait to start the transformation plan now.However, she also knew that there was no rush, there were too many things waiting to be dealt with.

For example, the debts in front of me, the upcoming chaos of seizing the heir, and the collapse of the Great Chu, etc.

Thinking of this, Li Yewu felt another headache. If he wanted to build a dream town, he might have to wait.

Li Yewu allowed herself to settle down and hold her eyes tightly. She took out the white paper and began to look at the topographic map while listing the formulas.

After an afternoon of calculations, Li Yewu circled several mountains.

Then he signaled Zi Cui, who was guarding outside the door, to invite the old housekeeper.

Speaking of these days, Xiao Jiuxi's study, which only pretended to be an IOU, has become her territory. At this time, there are more books and the Four Treasures of the Study on the desk, and the temperament of the study has finally recovered a little.

The old housekeeper was inexplicably moved when he saw the books borrowed from Cui Fu Yin and the Four Treasures of the Study.

That's what a study should be like. Only with the fragrance of books and ink can it be called a study.

I hope that in the future, under the influence of the little lady, the master can also pick up books and become a pragmatic scholar...

Soon, Li Yewu interrupted the old housekeeper's imagination.

"Housekeeper, can you help me see if there are any bandits near these hills?"

"What... what?" The housekeeper wondered if he heard it wrong, what is the lady looking for?

Li Yewu calmly pointed to the circled hill, and repeated the question again.

Only then did the old housekeeper come to his senses, and looked at her worriedly: "What is the lady asking this for?"

He had a bad feeling.
