"Your Highness, I have something to report!”Cui Hao said loudly.

Li Chengqian waved his hand without turning his head and said.

"Words are pale, powerless, and baseless!”

"You know very well what I want!”

In other words, don't tell me anything. I don't believe anything you say. I want evidence!

It's evidence that you embezzled the money for disaster relief!

Cui Hao nodded seriously and turned to leave.

After returning to his residence, he carefully sorted out the letters he had exchanged with his family.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to not burn these letters, but hid them under the green bricks in the room.

He was very hesitant as he held the letters.

Should he really hand it over to Li Chengqian?

Li Chengqian didn't give him any promises and only casually told him two truths.

Was it really worth it?

Now that Li Chengqian had come to Hua Yang, what did that mean?

It meant that the imperial court was really concerned about the drought in Guanzhong!

Once they found out anything, the family might push him out to take the blame.

But now that he had taken the initiative to confess, Li Chengqian did not give him any promise to protect him from death…

For a moment, he was in a difficult position!

He took the letters and sat on the ground dejectedly, staring at the dark roof with lifeless eyes.

……

On the other side, Li Chengqian was still on the riverbank.

Although the weather was still very hot, the people who were dredging the river at the bottom of the river were full of energy.

Li Chengqian watched with interest.

After looking at it for a while, he threw away the stone he had been playing with and stood up.

The young eunuch, Wang Shunjin, walked over with a bowl of clear water.

"Your Highness, have some water."

"The weather is so hot. It's also very good to quench your thirst.”

Li Chengqian drank the water in one gulp and then asked Wang Shun.

"Have you prepared water for these people?”

Wang Shun nodded enthusiastically.

Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction.

In his opinion, these people were the main force in dredging the river. When the drought was resolved, they would help him earn money!

He must not suffer any losses!

Li Chengqian asked again as he handed the empty bowl to Wang Shun.

"Have you prepared the waterwheel that I asked you to prepare with the blueprint?”

Wang Shun nodded and said with a proud smile.

"There are carpenters among these commoners."

"When I gathered them, I took out the blueprint that Your Highness gave me and told them that this was the waterwheel that Your Highness designed for them to solve the drought.”

"All of them are truly grateful to Your Highness!”

"Right now, they are looking for wood to make a waterwheel!”

"Before I came, I took a look. They found some wood that had been stored in the city for a long time and are currently making it.”

Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"Let's go. Follow me to a high place to take a look at the terrain.”

With that, he walked towards a higher ground.

The young eunuch Wang Shun and a few black-armored soldiers followed closely beside Li Chengqian.

As for Cui Hao, Li Chengqian was not worried at all.

In any case, the matter had already been completely made clear. It would depend on whether he knew how to count.

If he knew how to count, he would definitely give the evidence to her!

Even if there was no evidence, he would try his best to find it!

If he didn't know how to count…

Then just wait for death!

Therefore, Li Chengqian did not have to worry at all.

It was better to find a high ground and take a look at the terrain.

After all, he was going to build a factory outside Huayang County, so he naturally needed a suitable piece of land.

Not long after, Li Chengqian arrived at a high ground. Here, he looked down at the scene in front of him.

He found a very flat piece of land.

Not only was it close to Huayang County, but it was also very close to Qinghe.

If he chose that place, not only would it be convenient for transportation, but he could also use the water power!

Kill two birds with one stone!

Pointing at the land, Li Chengqian said to Wang Shun.

"Wang Shun, go and find out who that piece of land belongs to.”

Wang Shun immediately received the order and left.

Not long after Wang Shun left, another young eunuch came to Li Chengqian's side, travel-worn.

As soon as he saw Li Chengqian, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said tiredly.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"We've already completed everything you asked us to do.”

"Right now, there are about 10,000 citizens heading towards Huayang County!”

"And the news has already spread.”

"I reckon that in the next period of time, many commoners will come to our side every day!”

Li Chengqian's eyes instantly revealed an excited expression.

Hua Yang wasn't the only drought in Guanzhong. It affected the surrounding Hua Prefecture, Tong Prefecture, and Long Prefecture.

Therefore, there were many people who lost their families because of the drought.

This little eunuch was the person Li Chengqian had sent out to search for the disaster victims!

That's right, Li Chengqian's plan was very simple.

He wanted to gather all these people together.

Then, he would create a huge population gathering place outside Huayang County and beside the Qinghe River!

This was his first base in the Great Tang!

It's starting!

Next was the highlight!

Li Chengqian was about to start developing!

I don't think I'm suitable to write about schemes and conspiracies, so I'll write about posturing, development, and beautiful women.

Everyone can guess what kind of identity the female protagonist of this book will have.

Not to mention the eldest princess, it was impossible for her to be related by blood, so even Zhangsun Wuji's daughter was not allowed.

In addition, votes, please (you know, squint, hehe.))

Thank you for your support.

After a simple calculation, he still owed everyone 28 chapters!
