The two princes and the eldest princess could no longer contain themselves. They all had fiefdoms, and who wouldn't want the people in their fiefdoms to live better lives? But they didn't have enough silver.
Now that a solution has been found, the group is understandably anxious. Not only are they anxious, but the Emperor is also very anxious. This year, the national treasury has received a lot of revenue, but it has also spent even more, with road construction accounting for the majority of the expenditure.
He also wanted to know how she managed to get those merchants to willingly part with their money without damaging her reputation, but the girl wouldn't say anything, she wouldn't say anything!
The Emperor really wanted to strangle 001, so why didn't he ask? As for why he didn't strangle Qin Qianluo, the Emperor said that he couldn't bear to, because the little girl was a lucky star.
Thinking of Jinxiu County, it seems that since it was given to the little girl, it hasn't requested any funds from the court in recent months, and the tax revenue of Jinxiu County has also increased significantly this year.
It was my oversight that I hadn't inquired about the situation there. It seems the little girl is already managing Jinxiu County well. How could I not have paid more attention? What a blunder.
However, that girl was busy with matters concerning Xuanyuan before, so when exactly did she go to govern Jinxiu County?
As the ruler of a country, I was completely unaware of this matter, which is a serious oversight and negligence!
After this morning court session ends, I will certainly send my shadow guards to Jinxiu County to investigate in detail, so as to learn some lessons from their governance methods.
In reality, the Emperor had no idea that when Qin Qianluo went to Xuanyuan Kingdom to draw up a defense map, she happened to pass through Jinxiu County and met with the local prefect.
After 001 reviewed the prefect's information and carefully examined his past record and conduct as an official, it was determined that he was an honest, upright, and kind official.
Qin Qianluo then confidently outlined the future development plan of Jinxiu County to him, and left behind many novel and practical items, allowing him to start developing according to the plan.
On her way back after completing the defense map, Qin Qian stayed in Jinxiu County for a while.
During this period, she devised a plan to get the honest and well-regarded merchants in the county to fund the road construction themselves.
For those of bad character and who were rich but heartless, they cleverly used some means to make them willingly leave Jinxiu County.
Merchants who once oppressed the people and broke the law on this land are still imprisoned in the Jinxiu County jail, receiving their due punishment.
Finally, Qin Qianluo solemnly handed over a detailed and meticulously planned scheme to the prefect before returning to the capital with peace of mind.
After months of vigorous development, Jinxiu County has now transformed into the most prosperous and vibrant place outside of Kyoto.
At this rate, in two years, even Kyoto's level of prosperity will be hard to match.
After all, in Jinxiu County, Qin Qianluo has the final say and can put her governance philosophy and ingenious ideas into practice without any scruples.
Normally, if the prefect encounters complicated and difficult matters, he will promptly send a letter to her for advice.
Fortunately, when the Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Prince, he did not change her fiefdom on a whim; otherwise, given her temperament, she would probably have cursed the Emperor in her heart for a long time.
The emperor, completely unaware that he had narrowly escaped a scolding, was still winking and giving frequent signals to his second elder brother.
She was eagerly hoping he would say something more to encourage the little girl to continue her suggestions, but Ning Yu was at his wits' end and had no idea how to continue the conversation.
He was still vaguely worried that the child who was talking to Qin Qianluo would accuse him of nagging again.
Seeing his second elder brother scratching his head and looking helpless, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in him.
But if we let this opportunity slip by so easily, who knows when the next one will come?
Therefore, the Emperor turned his gaze to Su Jinyun and Qin Shouzhen for help. In this court, only these two prime ministers had the closest relationship with the little girl.
Only by hoping they will speak up can we avoid seeming too abrupt or deliberate.
The two prime ministers noticed the emperor's burning and eager gaze and were momentarily at a loss as to how to tactfully begin to speak.
Finally, the Emperor looked at Qin Shouzhen, steeled his resolve, gritted his teeth, and said, "I wonder if Prime Minister Qin has any brilliant ideas?"
Qin Shouzhen was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting the Emperor to suddenly call his name. He then straightened his sleeves, stepped forward steadily, and bowed with his hands clasped.
He respectfully said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am foolish and have not yet come up with a good plan. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Qin Qianluo glanced at her father, then at the Emperor, stepped forward, cupped her hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan for you to consider."
When the Emperor saw that Qin Qianluo had taken the initiative to speak to him, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a subtle smile of delight.
Qin Shouzhen took in the Emperor's expression, secretly snorting inwardly, yet also feeling a hint of pride.
He thought to himself, "If it weren't for me, Luo'er wouldn't care about you."
Seeing the complex expression on Prime Minister Qin's face, the ministers and the emperor knew what he was thinking. The emperor ignored his little scheme and asked with delight, "What good plan does Minister Qin have?"
Qin Qianlu kept her head down and naturally didn't see the misunderstandings.
Hearing the emperor's question, he continued, "Your Majesty, please allow me to say that I believe it would be a good idea to have the merchants fund the road repairs, which would achieve many benefits."
There are quite a few merchants in both the capital and the fiefdom of Prince Xin.
Merchants rely on roads for business operations and the transportation of goods. If roads are unobstructed, goods can flow freely, and their businesses can thrive.
Moreover, the road construction is a benevolent act that benefits the local people. With the convenience of travel, the people will naturally feel grateful to the merchants who funded the project, and the good reputation will spread.
