At the county office.
Dong dong dong.
Qiao Junbei appeared outside Li Xian's study. Seeing Li Xian busy himself at his desk, he knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Li Xian did not even raise his head as he responded. Qiao Junbei walked in.
He saw that Li Xian was on the map of the old city, marking it according to the title deed stubs. He carefully probed,"Your Highness, shouldn't we report this matter to the Imperial Court?”
Li Xian raised his head and smiled." I've been demoted to a commoner. I'm just a small county magistrate now. You can call me Lord in the future."”
"You can call me by my name if you want, but I know that you need to keep a certain distance from me.”
"I also know the reason why you appeared by my side.”
"If I'm not mistaken, your secret letter has just been sent out. There are many people like you by my side, not just Long Fan, Xue Chongjian, and you.”
"There's no need to ask for instructions."
"I am the county magistrate of the old city. It is the responsibility and obligation of any chief official to improve the people's livelihood and seek for the well-being of the people.”
"There's no need to ask. How many are there in the Tang County? If everyone had to ask the Sage Emperor for instructions, wouldn't the Sage Emperor die of exhaustion?”
When Qiao Junbei heard this, the corners of his lips twitched.
Only the person in front of him dared to say such disgraceful words.
The Holy Emperor ruled the world and killed many people.
Who in the world would dare to be so disrespectful?
This person was really not afraid of the Sage Emperor killing people!
For some reason, he did not wish for this day to come.
She was not just worried that he would do this dirty thing.
Perhaps it was because they had brought the water into the city and witnessed what Li Xian had done that they felt this kind of compassion.
"Royal brother."
Li Longfan, who had just finished writing the secret letter and sent it out, also walked in at this time.
Li Xian waved his hand." You came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you."”
Li Longfan walked over quickly.
Li Xian pointed at the map on the table." This is the map of our old city.”
"I've already marked it according to the title deed stubs.”
"Even if there are some differences in the title deed stubs, there won't be much difference overall.”
"The autumn harvest is almost here. Before the autumn harvest, our main task is to clean up the dirty and messy environment in the city.”
"After the autumn harvest and before winter, we must do our best to complete the transformation of these 100,000 mu of dry land.”
"So the task isn't small, so we need to divide the work.”
"Long Fan, you were previously in charge of preparing the wood and bamboo. I'll leave this matter to you.”
"I know that you have an income from the Imperial Manor. The expenses that you need now will be diverted from your Imperial Manor.”
"It won't be long before I can return it to you.”
Although he was prepared to make his own raw materials and obtain them locally.
Even though the cost was greatly reduced, it still required a certain amount of money and food.
For this matter, he could only rely on his younger brother for the time being.
Li Longfan nodded." Don't worry, Imperial Brother. Leave the money, food, and materials to me."”
Li Xian smiled." There's one more thing I need you to do.”
"Go and send a statement I wrote to all the influential families in the capital.”
"I invented the waterwheel. I'm free for the commoners to use it.”
"Don't blame me for bringing my sword to pay you a visit.”
"Let them think it over carefully. Is it worth it to fight a barefoot person like me?”
"Of course, if they are willing to pay, they can use them however they want.”
"I'm short of money now. I don't even want my face anymore.”
Qiao Junbei wanted to laugh at Li Xian's self-mockery, but he couldn't. He could only twitch his lips.
"Junbei, Long Fan is in charge of the materials. You are in charge of cooperating with me and leading the people to repair the city.”
"In order to maximize efficiency, we first have to group the people according to the alleys, men, women, the old, and the weak.”
"Make it into the youth group, the women group, the elderly group, and the children group.”
"During the renovation of the city before the autumn harvest, the elderly group is responsible for taking care of the children.”
"The youth group is responsible for heavy manual labor.”
"The women's team will assist."
"Each group will be responsible for a section. Oh right, the craftsmen will be selected and set up a special mason, carpenter, and blacksmith group.”
Qiao Junbei didn't realize the deeper meaning behind organizing the people.
However, through Li Xian's explanation, he felt that this kind of grouping was conducive to advancing things quickly and efficiently.
He also knew that he couldn't convince Li Xian.
At the same time, they were looking forward to Li Xian's description of the old city after the renovation.
In any case, the Sage Emperor had only instructed him to report Li Xian's every move in detail at all times, no matter how big or small. He had not given any other orders.
" I'll organize the bailiffs now. Follow me to the streets to convey the lord's orders. In five days at most, we'll complete the grouping of the people in the city according to the lord's request."”
After cupping his fists, Qiao Junbei turned and left.
"Big Brother, Xue Chongjian went to tell on us again.”
"This time, we're going to cut the mountain and cut down the trees. Are we taking the opportunity to create an accident…"
Li Longfan made a gesture of cutting his throat.
Li Xian shook his head." There's no need. It's better to keep an idiot than to change to a cautious person like Qiao Junbei.”
"Besides, if I kill Li Lingyue's son, the Holy Emperor will be in a state of unease.”
"She will think that if I can do something to Xue Chongjian, I can also…"
"You should have more contact with Qiao Junbei.”
"From yesterday's observations, this is a person who is willing to bend over and do things.”
Li Longfan knew that Big Brother wanted to secretly rope Qiao Junbei in.
He nodded." Big Brother, I understand. He and I have the same mission. He is the great-grandson of Emperor Gaozu, and I am from the Li royal family. That idiot Xue Chongjian relied on his aunt to be arrogant and bossy, ordering Qiao Junbei around.”
"It shouldn't be difficult for me to get close to him."
Li Xian looked at this young man and reminded him,""Getting in touch with Junbei isn't for you to rope him in and build a good relationship with him.”
"Do you think that Qiao Junbei can't tell that our relationship isn't ordinary?”
"Why do you think he deliberately left early and left you alone?”
"You're only twelve years old, and you're no match for Jun Bei in a battle of wits.”
"He was in the Thousand-Bull Prefectural Palace, under the Emperor's eyes, safe and sound, and had survived several political upheavals.”
"You just need to talk to him from the bottom of your heart.”
Li Longfan's expression turned solemn." Big Brother, I understand."”
……
"Grandmother, you weren't in the old city at that time, so you didn't see the support those ignorant people had for Li Xian.”
"It's just a small favor to bring water into the city and buy over those ignorant people.”
"He also wants to renovate the city, build toilets in every alley in the city, collect filth, and make fertilizer…"
"He also wants to use the water cart technology to transform the dry land of the ignorant people in the old city. If this continues, the ignorant people will only know Li Xian and not you, Holy Emperor Grandmother!”
"Li Xian keeps talking about the glory of the Great Tang, but he doesn't care about Wu Zhou at all!”
On the city wall.
Xue Chongjian sobbed as he recounted.
The ministers were terrified when they heard this.
Of course, there was also intense shock.
They were shocked by Li Xian's generous administration.
Humph!
Wu Zetian coldly snorted.
Just when Wu Chengsi and the others thought that Wu Zetian was about to make a move out of embarrassment, they secretly rejoiced.
Wu Zetian's eyes swept across the ministers coldly," Don't you feel ashamed after hearing this?”
"You guys have been kneeling here for half a day and still haven't solved the food problem. Li Xian has already solved half of it for you!”
"Everyone, continue to kneel here and reflect on yourself!”
"Mediocre and mediocre. In the long run, the country will be destroyed!”
"Xue Chongjian, go and pass on this one's orders to let Li Xian enter the palace to see His Majesty!”
Wu Zetian's face darkened as he left the stunned Li Lingyue, Xue Chongjian, and all the civil and military officials kneeling in front of him…
The new book cried for support.
