Chapter 89 Waterwheel Blueprints
Upon hearing this, everyone clapped in agreement.
"Su Jingge's father could have become a county magistrate, but because Zhao Zhou was involved, Su Jingge died without ever being able to close his eyes in peace."
"Su Jingge has perfectly inherited the mantle of the old master Su, and is a magistrate who truly deserves the title!"
"We all agree that Su Jingge should become the new county magistrate."
The voice of the people is paramount.
Li Jingyi said, "Su Jingge is honest and upright, incorruptible, and a close and honest official. Because of his outstanding political achievements and obvious results, he is hereby appointed as the new magistrate of Yuxiang County!"
Su Jingge's pupils trembled slightly. She knelt down and looked at the seal: "This humble servant will certainly not disgrace His Majesty's command, and will certainly not fail the people's trust!"
At the same time, Li Jingyi took off the second-rank imperial inspector's badge from his waist and placed it on the tray.
Looking at Su Jingge: "Therefore, you are appointed as the Inspector and Supervisor of a Continent. If any official is found to have accepted bribes or received personal benefits, you have the power to detain or arrest them, report such cases, and seize assets!"
Everyone was stunned.
“This Li Jingyi is a second-rank inspector and censor specially appointed by the Emperor. His words are the Emperor’s words. The waist token he wears is a token given to him by the Emperor. When he gives the waist token to Su Jingge, it is equivalent to the Emperor giving the waist token to Su Jingge. What a high-ranking official he is!”
"They could control everything in Lingnan!"
Su Jingge was stunned. This sudden honor seemed even better than a gift from heaven!
It feels even better than having a huge gold nugget smashed into your head.
From now on, she can practically rule Yuxiang County with an iron fist, if not completely unhindered!
"Thank you, Inspector Censor. I will certainly not fail in my duty!" she said.
Holding that heavy waist token in my hand, I felt both my status and my responsibilities had become heavier!
Thunderous applause erupted outside the county government office.
Everyone says that Su Jingge is a magistrate who deserves the title.
She also received the badge of an inspector, which would allow her to exercise power over anyone suspected of embezzlement or bribery!
This is so awesome!
At the same time, Li Jingyi said, "Xiao Yinhe has performed outstandingly and has not lost his original aspirations, so he is hereby appointed as the governor of a prefecture!"
"Haha, you've been promoted!" cheered the people behind him.
Xiao Yinhe excitedly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Inspector Censor! Thank you, Your Majesty! This humble official will certainly not fail in my duty!"
He took the governor's waist token and the seal, his hands trembling.
His day had finally come!
Li Jingyi then announced: "Princess Yongzhu, for the crime of negligence, shall be confined to her quarters for one month and shall receive her salary for one year!"
Su Jingge recalled that, in the past, the matter at the mine was indeed not something she had colluded with Zhao Zhou with.
Therefore, her only fault was dereliction of duty and the collapse of the mine, but because she acted in time, a major disaster was averted.
Therefore, her crime was the least serious, but at the same time, it was also the most serious.
Because her title of princess was just a gimmick.
An Wanyu was unwilling, but she had no choice but to accept it.
"Princess Wang Yongzhu, take this as a warning!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Inspector!" She was extremely unwilling and vowed in her heart to kill Su Jingge.
If it weren't for her own ability to become like this?
"As for the others..." Li Jingyi said, "they will all be rewarded!"
"Haha, did you hear that? We get a reward too, we get a reward!"
The workers cheered with joy.
After many days of hard work and running around, the effort has finally paid off.
Finally, Li Jingyi signaled to Su Jingge that she could leave the courtroom.
Su Jingge walked step by step onto the stage, looking intently at the gavel and the people below:
"Court adjourned!"
"mighty!"
-
Su Jingge stood in the restaurant, overlooking the city. Since she arrived, the rooftops, ground, walls, and ditches had all been transformed, and the city was now more prosperous.
Birds circled overhead, the spring breeze turned the treetops green, and everything was full of vitality.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host! The prosperity level of your city, 'Yuxiang County', has reached 40%. Keep up the good work!]
Zhao Zhou has logged off; next, she will be tasked with rectifying the workplace atmosphere in the county government.
Then they cleared the land and started farming.
The ditch has been dug.
The tools are already being developed.
She wanted to divert the water from the moat into the ditches to build waterwheels.
That would require blueprints.
We also need to build waterwheels.
She can exchange the blueprints in the system shop.
She asked the system, "Current points?"
Current points: 2290.
She looked at the waterwheel blueprints and saw that it would cost 500 points to redeem them.
"Exchange for waterwheel blueprints."
Okay, the waterwheel blueprint has been redeemed for you.
[—500]
Current points: 1790
She opened the blueprints, which showed precise steps for building the waterwheel, and handed them to Xu Yuan.
Building things requires a lot of money.
Fortunately, the restaurant business is even better.
Invest the money you earn; only through investment can you get returns.
As for the things the imperial court had given her after Zhao Zhou went offline, she still needed to take stock of them one by one.
She has to go to the government office.
On the other side, Zhao Liu looked up at the sky.
Lost in thought, he kept muttering, "I never expected that Su Jingge would actually defeat Zhao Zhou, and even the princess was confined and had her salary reduced."
"She not only became a female county magistrate, but also Li Jingyi's informant, specializing in cracking down on corruption."
"Is this fucking real?"
He was a little dazed and couldn't believe it.
"Luckily, I'm not an official, otherwise, I don't know how she would investigate me."
Now she even wants to clear wasteland and farm the land.
This is absolutely incomprehensible!
What about clearing land for farming, and repairing the land for her family?
That requires blueprints, tools, and craftsmen.
Oh well, let her do whatever she wants.
We'll see how she really manages to make the people rich and powerful.
And Xiao Yinhe really did become the governor.
Previously, Zhao Zhou had approved all the shipping tokens and customs clearance documents for the Shanggu Zhai Chamber of Commerce.
Now that Zhao Zhou has been exiled, will Su Jingge hold up the relevant documents?
I used to have such a bad relationship with her.
no!
He had to go to the county government office to find her.
So he ordered his men, "Prepare the things, and take the expensive ones!"
Wait, what if she doesn't give me face if I go to her myself?
There were so many people at the county government office...
He thought about it and decided to go find Xiao Yinhe.
Let's sound them out first...
-
The Xiao residence.
Because Xiao Yinhe was helping Su Jingge, the princess was at a disadvantage, and because she was confined to her quarters, she was very unhappy.
Upon hearing this, Jiang refused to comply.
She was in the main hall, looking at Xiao Yinhe, who was sitting in a high position drinking tea and reading documents, and felt very displeased.
"My lord, it's been several days since you became the governor. You've been reading documents while eating, drinking tea, and even taking walks. Can't you take a break?"
Xiao Yinhe didn't take it seriously: "What rest? A new broom sweeps clean. If this isn't done well, people will start talking about it."
"We must not fail the sage's wishes, nor can we mistreat the people."
"Something has been asleep for a long time; it's time to wake up."
Seeing that he was acting more like an official than before, Jiang pouted and said, "Master, it's a good thing that you've been promoted, and it's a good thing that you're governing the county, but... but you can't just ignore family matters, can you?"
Xiao Yinhe sneered: "Family matters? What family matters?"
Jiang leaned forward: "Look, because you're helping Su Jingge, the princess is at a disadvantage. She's currently under house arrest. A princess like her, isn't she being ridiculed?"
