The letter also instructed that it was not advisable to disturb too many people, as there were people behind the scenes instigating and guiding the rioters, and alarming them would be counterproductive.
As the letter writer anticipated, Qiao Zhizhi would become anxious and eager to leave the city for Tianhe Prefecture.
But Qiao Zhizhi remained calm after receiving the letter and went into the room.
She picked up a snail shell and called to Sickle.
Qiao Lian'er is currently inspecting the terrain in a large field that is prone to flooding and drought in the summer.
Because of the mountain ranges blocking the flow of moisture, droughts occur due to scarce rainfall.
If too much moisture accumulates above the mountains, and strong winds from the sea cross the mountains and blow through the clouds, there will be heavy rainstorms. The terrain here is low and flat, which can easily cause floods and inundate farmland.
Both of these scenarios would lead to reduced production.
To solve the flood problem, we must improve drainage facilities, intercepting what needs to be intercepted and releasing what needs to be released.
In fact, previous officials must have thought about this issue, but it required a lot of financial investment. Moreover, in ancient times, drainage methods were backward, and countless amounts of silver might not have much effect.
To solve the drought problem, water storage is needed, which requires the construction of water storage projects.
The key to these two measures lies in just one word: money.
Not only the officials of each generation, but even the emperor himself knew the truth. Otherwise, why would Tianhe Prefecture, one of the eight major prefectures of the capital, have such a long-standing problem of floods and droughts?
But she's different; she's rich, and she has thousands of years of technological experience.
Since those ministers were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, she would present the evidence to them, leaving them speechless and convinced of her superiority.
"Lian'er." A familiar voice echoed in my mind.
"Um, Sister Zhizhi, what's wrong?"
"Are you alright? Is there any trouble in Tianhe Prefecture?"
Qiao Lian'er laughed and said, "What trouble could there be?"
She immediately realized, "What happened?"
“I received a letter saying that you were surrounded by rioters.”
"Oh, it's fake. They're just trying to trick you into leaving the city. I guess it's the Ouyang family's doing."
Qiao Lian'er's nonchalant tone made Qiao Zhizhi breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're alright. The first thing I thought of when I received the letter was to ask you about the situation."
"I estimate I won't be back for a few days, Sister Zhizhi. If you go out, take more bodyguards with you."
"good."
Qiao Lian'er's eyes turned cold. The Ouyang family seemed determined to get what they wanted. Well, with such a big handle in someone else's hands, the Ouyang family was in deep trouble.
Judging by the time, Pei Er should have made some progress by now.
She devised a meticulous plan based on the terrain and then went to the government office of Tianhe Prefecture.
Because Tianhe Prefecture became her fiefdom, the governor of the prefecture had been transferred away, while other lower-ranking officials such as the prefectural governor and the chief administrator were retained to serve as her subordinates.
