Su Muyao kept having a strange dream where she died in modern times and then, with her memories intact, was reborn in ancient times. After a smooth birth, she was abandoned by her parents who favor...
The farmers and onlookers expressed their gratitude profusely before taking their wages and heading home.
Although each person only had a little over 20 coins, they still bought some candy to take home.
Those pork shops would have already closed by now.
Thinking that if I can find a better job tomorrow, I can go back earlier and bring some meat for the children.
It was a lively time at Su Muyao's place that evening.
Seeing the packed house makes me very satisfied; now, almost every store I open is a hit.
The amount of money in the house is countless, especially in my own space, which is piled up to the brim.
“Young Princess, everyone is saying that you are the richest person in the capital.”
Xia Xia, being the young princess of Jianjia, was in a good mood, so she jokingly mentioned it.
Now everyone in the capital is saying that the young princess is not only a living bodhisattva, but most importantly, she can make money.
It spurred the development of the entire capital city and provided a better livelihood for ordinary people like them who had no other options.
"Xia, you're right. I have to be the richest man in Beijing, haha."
Looking at the densely filled ledger, he smiled with satisfaction.
After a few more days at this buffet restaurant, I can finally be a hands-off boss.
I took out an architectural encyclopedia from the space and started reading it.
"Xia, if I were to build one of those tall buildings that are over ten stories high, do you think anyone would want to rent it?"
Although Su Muyao was asking Xia Xia, she already had the answer in her heart.
Xia thought for a moment, then looked shocked.
"The little princess has more than ten stories, how tall must that be? How could anyone build such a structure?"
Su Muyao handed the book in her hand to Xia Xia.
"See that? This is the kind of building I'm talking about. What do you think? Imposing and powerful, right?"
Xia's eyes sparkled as she looked at the book in her hand and saw pictures of tall buildings, some over ten stories high.
Here, the tallest building is at most three stories.
Moreover, even three floors are basically just attics; I've never seen such a tall building with so many floors before.
Su Muyao was taking stock of the steel and concrete in her space.
Fortunately, they stuffed all sorts of things into the zero-dollar purchase.
Otherwise, if I really wanted to build a skyscraper of more than ten stories, there would be no way to do it.
Lost in thought, she staggered back to the princess's residence, quickly washed up, and then fell asleep.
I was so tired after that day, my back ached, and I didn't dream a wink all night.
The next morning, Su Muyao got up early, intending to attend the morning court session.
By the time Su Muyao arrived, everyone else had already entered the main hall.
The emperor saw Su Muyao as soon as she entered the main hall.
"Yaoyao, what brings you here today? Is something the matter?"
Su Muyao didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Uncle Emperor, I came here today because I wanted to borrow something from you."
But don't worry, Uncle, Yao Yao will definitely not let you suffer a loss.
"Yaoyao, I'm planning to donate 1 million jin of grain to you."
The ministers below widened their eyes upon hearing this.
This young princess recently delivered a huge amount of grain to the emperor.
Now it's just a few people, yet they're going to give out 1 million jin (500 tons).
The soldiers at the front are now well-fed and warmly clothed, unlike before when they were struggling to make ends meet.
The emperor slammed his hand on the table: "Truly worthy of being the Grand Preceptor of a great dynasty."
Yao Yao, there's no need to be so polite. Borrowing someone isn't something that can be done in a few words.
However, Yao Yao was able to understand the hardships of the border soldiers and gave them so much food.
"On behalf of the frontier soldiers, I thank the young princess."
Upon hearing the emperor's words, the others also quickly knelt down and performed a grand salute to Su Muyao.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your compassion for the soldiers on the frontier."
"Uncles, please rise quickly."
Su Muyao directly selected some people in the court and said that she would need to borrow them for a period of time.
"I know how hard you gentlemen have worked, so I came to help. I will certainly not let you uncles suffer any losses."
"Upon completion, each person will still receive a thousand taels of silver, plus meals."
Upon hearing this, the adults whose names were called began to whisper among themselves.
Their annual salary is less than a thousand taels of silver. This little princess is too generous.
"Thank you, Princess..."
Those whose names were called were all extremely excited.
Those who weren't called out were all thinking, "Why didn't the little princess choose me?"
The prime minister scratched his head in frustration, as he had always considered himself the first friend the little princess had ever met.
Now that such a good thing has happened, he's not even thinking about himself.
Waaah, the little princess has forgotten the beautiful moments they shared.
Several times, the Prime Minister looked at Su Muyao with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Su Muyao naturally saw through the Prime Minister's little scheme.
He said to the Prime Minister, "My main purpose this time is to build a house, so if Your Excellency would like to go and help, then please do so."
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister quickly replied, "I believe I can still be of help. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
Looking at the Prime Minister's beaming face, how could the Emperor possibly refuse?
He nodded: "Since you want to go, you can come along too."
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."
The others also looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated, but Su Muyao completely ignored them.
These old ministers, however, were thinking that they wouldn't have to get up so early to attend the morning court session.
Most importantly, it's a thousand taels of silver!
Since the last crackdown on corrupt officials, those who can now hold positions in the imperial court are basically all honest officials.
No one dared to offer this extra silver as a bribe, so it was never offered.
The whole family depends on this meager salary to survive. On the surface, they seem to be living a glamorous life, but in reality, they are practically starving.
Especially in previous years, there was a constant drought, and no family had any surplus grain.
But Su Muyao wouldn't let them have their way; her project didn't need so many people.
Besides, what do these old men know about those things?
All the people I ordered were from the Ministry of Works.
Those who had their own agendas, but seeing that the young princess was mainly from the Ministry of Works, they knew perfectly well that they wouldn't understand.
Immediately afterwards, Su Muyao explained to the emperor that she wanted to build a tall building.
And the idea is to give these high-rise buildings to the homeless, and rent out the rest.
When the emperor learned that the young princess wanted to build a building that was more than ten stories high, he wondered if she would be able to see the white clouds in the sky directly from it.
Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Since Yao Yao wants to build that kind of house, leave one for me too."
Su Muyao nodded...: "Of course, even if Uncle Huang doesn't say it, Uncle Huang still has it."
...
The brothers from Lijia Village had already taken an oxcart to their small county town early in the morning.
After arriving in the small county town, they transferred to an oxcart and arrived in the capital.
Finally, when it was completely light, they arrived in the capital and inquired around before finding a market that specifically recruited people.
I heard that this place was mainly created by the young princess.
If any shop owner inside wants to hire, they can simply pay a small fee to post their job openings there.
