Chapter 63 Appearance, the least worth mentioning thing
Ge Dawa remains confident.
Her eyes were full of the thought that at least I was once very outstanding, but you guys have always been so dull.
That look made the officials so angry that their hearts ached.
Jinghan thought about Ge Dawa's appearance and couldn't help but sigh.
【It seems that time is really a butcher's knife! 】
"Puff~ Hoo~"
Many people covered their mouths, their shoulders trembling, and they almost couldn't hold it in.
The ones who suffered the most were the palace maids and guards on duty. If they laughed out loud in public, they might be dragged away and beaten to death in the next second.
For the sake of my life, I could only think about sad things desperately to barely hold back from making any big moves.
Jing Chengji: I don’t kill people indiscriminately!
But he definitely won't be able to escape after getting a few beatings.
The pig in question, Ge Da Wa, was holding his breath. This was Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Don't be angry, don't be angry. Being angry will affect your fortune.
At this time, the system said.
[Appearance, to Ge Da Wa, is the least worth mentioning thing! ]
Ge Da Wa was so happy.
Yes, she has both wisdom and beauty.
All the civil and military officials in the court were jealous again.
Ge Da Wa pretended to fan the tip of her nose in front of her face, which was very meaningful and made all the civil and military officials in the court even more angry.
Jinghan knew something, but not in such detail.
The system's voice continued.
Ge Dawa isn't a genius, but she's pretty good. Ever since she started her official career at the age of 25, she's harbored a lofty ideal: to alleviate the burden of farming on the people!
In her first year, she volunteered to be the county magistrate in a remote and impoverished village! In the border counties, Ge Da Wa couldn't speak the language, and the people there were extremely poor. Even farming couldn't support their families, and selling children was commonplace.
In Ge Da Wa's first year there, she vigorously developed commerce, saved money, and paid out of her own pocket to improve and streamline the roads in the border counties. Although travel was still inconvenient, it was much better than before!
[Secondly, she petitioned Emperor Mingzong to reduce taxes for three years in the border counties. After considering it, Emperor Mingzong agreed. No one wanted to go to that place, and the impoverished county magistrates who had gone there had used their connections to transfer. Since Ge Dawa was willing, Emperor Mingzong naturally agreed!]
[Plus, the tax revenue in the border counties was pitifully low before, so a small reduction wouldn't be a big deal!]
Afterwards, Ge Da Wa began to vigorously develop. She not only learned the local dialect, but also discovered local specialties. Because of the inconvenient transportation and remoteness of the place before, almost no one knew about the local specialties!
She found a way to sell her local specialties to the neighboring Koreans, earning some money. Not only did she not embezzle the money, she also offered labor in lieu of labor, distributing a small amount of silver, and working with the people to repair and renovate the buildings in the border county!
She never managed more than two hours of sleep a day. Besides busying herself with the county government and the people's affairs, she worried about the annual farming season! Not only was the yield low, but farming was also very laborious. She wondered how she could give the people some relief!
None of the civil and military officials in the court said a word. They admired Ge Da Wa, such a selfless official, from the bottom of their hearts.
If they ask themselves honestly, they can't do that.
They can’t even afford to eat if they pay out of their own pockets.
[By the way, when the road was being built, she also approached a local wealthy businessman. The businessman wasn't exactly wealthy, but he did have a small fortune in the border county. Ge Da Wa said that if she could donate money for the road, the main road would be named after him!]
Jinghan thought, it would be strange if Ge Da Wa didn't succeed.
In ancient times, people hoped that their good reputation would last for thousands of years.
Meanwhile, Ge Da Wa also petitioned Emperor Mingzong for permission, offering him an edible carrot. The wealthy merchant donated money to build the road, which was then improved. The main road was named Yin Fugui Road, and a monument at the intersection inscribed the origin of the name.
Because of Yin Fugui's good deeds, the Yin family's reputation has spread to other places, which is quite good. For the Yin family, there are even more invisible benefits!
[After that, whenever Ge Da Wa needed money, Yin Fugui would generously contribute. Yin Fugui followed Ge Da Wa and expanded his business to Korea, making a ton of money!]
Jinghan smiled.
[This is a two-way rush! ]
[Yes, the two of them are still in contact and have a very good relationship! ]
Ge Dawa smiled. At that time, the biggest problem in Jiangbian County was lack of money, and Lao Yin helped her a lot.
In the third year, Ge Da Wa developed a more advanced agricultural tool. The local people, in gratitude, named it the Da Wa Plow. This plowing tool saved the people a lot of effort. By now, the Da Wa Plow had already been brought to Panorama Country!
Jing Han also knew this, but when she heard what Ge Da Wa did, she was still amazed.
[Lord Ge deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple! Even a title of prime minister or marquis would be enough!]
[Yes, host. In the past three years, that border county has undergone tremendous changes. The new county magistrate who took over is overjoyed! Even Emperor Mingzong was shocked when he learned about the tax revenue after three years!]
Ge Da Wa is still not obsessed with power, and has expressed her desire to move to another place to become a county magistrate. Her duties will remain the same: building roads, finding local specialties, selling them, and so on. In the county where she lives, everyone, whether farmers, merchants, yamen runners, or even Ge Da Wa herself, becomes like family, and the local evil has decreased significantly!
Jinghan said.
[Appearance is indeed the least of her worries for Lord Ge! Her talent is truly exceptional! There are only a few officials like her!]
Ge Da Wa was not arrogant. She was just trying to anger her colleagues.
She felt that without a wise ruler, no matter how talented she was, she would have nowhere to put her talents to use.
[That's right, because Ge Da Wa is so capable, your mother cherished her very much after she came to power! It wasn't until Ge Da Wa was forty years old that, at your mother's insistence, Ge Da Wa returned to Jingdu. Otherwise, who knows where she would be shining and making a difference now!]
Your mother originally wanted to make Ge Da Wa the prime minister based on her extraordinary achievements, and to raise the princess and prince, but Ge Da Wa said she only wanted to research more agricultural tools!
Her original words were: "I am only a craftsman. I am unworthy of the position of Prime Minister. If Your Majesty agrees, I would like to focus on developing my craft in the Ministry of Works!"
[Ge Da Wa was truly sincere, so your mother had no choice but to agree! Even Prime Minister Zhuge admired and respected Ge Da Wa!]
"Words like 'noble character' and 'outstanding' are too pale to describe Mr. Ge!"
Jinghan realized that he had praised too many times today.
Ge Dawa's face turned red when Jing Han praised her, and she looked so cute.
But do you think Ge Da Wa completely faded away? Not at all! In the following years, she developed a rake and improved the bow and arrow. Originally, the Jingguo bow and arrow only had a range of about 20 meters, but she significantly increased the range to 50 meters!
Jinghan was really shocked, but he could only say one pale sentence.
[Apart from giving likes, I don’t seem to have any other use! ]
