Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu asked in return.

What do you want them to do?

"Sir, I would like them to dredge the rivers flowing through Chang'an to improve the drinking water problem for the people of Chang'an. At the same time, I would also like them to repair the roads and reinforce the dilapidated walls..."

"oh?"

Xiao Yu quickly realized something was wrong. These things couldn't be done overnight, and there must have been a comprehensive consideration involved.

"Do you have a more detailed explanation?"

"have!"

Li Jue took out a plan for Chang'an from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yu, who sat down on a roadside stone and began to read it.

After watching for only a short while, Xiao Yu was once again shocked by Li Jue.

This is because the authorities not only need to repair roads and dredge rivers, but also build wells and drainage ditches in each neighborhood, and even have separate drainage systems for open and culverts.

If the planning outline above can be implemented, then the people of Chang'an will be blessed.

However, Xiao Yu soon discovered a problem: accomplishing these things would require a considerable amount of money and resources.

"May I ask, Your Highness, where do you intend to obtain this money?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue asked in return.

"Doesn't the imperial court have money?"

"The imperial court certainly has money, but I'm afraid it doesn't have enough to spend on this..."

"If Your Highness, the eldest grandson, cannot handle the issue of money and provisions, I advise you to abandon this outline and just do some simple tasks!"

"What if the students insist on doing it?"

Xiao Yu laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, I still venture into the tiger's den!"

"His spirit is commendable, but that's all he is; it's not his attitude towards work, hahaha!"

"Sir, I really can solve money problems!"

"oh?"

Upon hearing Li Jue's words, Xiao Yu's expression immediately hardened.

"If Your Highness can truly resolve the issue of funds and provisions on your own, then I will take care of the matter of the Prefect of the Capital!"

"Will you solve this, sir?"

"If I remember correctly, you have no jurisdiction over the Prefect of the Capital, do you?"

Xiao Yu snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Who says it's none of my business? I'll take you to find that scoundrel right now!"
