The news came like a spring breeze, sweeping across every inch of land at the fastest speed.
Finally, someone started beating the gong and drum.
Completely awakened the silent night.
The people of the whole city spontaneously fell into an extreme carnival.
“There’s water!”
"Oh my God, please open your eyes!"
"My emperor is wise!"
"My emperor is wise!"
The extinguished candles were lit one by one.
At this time, no one would be stingy with candlelight.
...
...
It was as bright as day in the prefectural government.
Xiao Yuqi rode his horse and led his men, galloping all the way towards the well.
The sound of horse hooves was earth-shaking.
Everyone is heading towards the same destination.
At this critical moment, people always remember to wear masks.
Until the empty well, the crowd was dense.
Xiao Yuqi's arrival caused the people who had arrived here earlier to spontaneously make way for him.
Xiao Yuqi dismounted from his horse and walked through the crowd.
At this moment, he was extremely excited.
This emotion is even more intense than when he ascended the throne as emperor.
He could clearly feel the smile of hope on every citizen's face beneath the mask.
Nothing can be seen in the pitch-black well.
Because it is so deep, even after coming out of the water, the water level does not rise quickly.
Everyone was extremely patient.
They held their breath and concentrated on He Hu, He Bao and others who were surrounding the well, as well as the officers and soldiers who came afterwards, and Xiao Yuqi and He Yanzhi and Zuo Ying who came with Xiao Yuqi.
More than a dozen pairs of eyes stared motionlessly into the dry well where nothing could be seen.
People who practice martial arts have excellent hearing.
Xiao Yuqi could clearly hear the sound of water coming from the dry well.
The water level has been rising.
The speed is getting faster and faster.
Until the rippling water surface appeared in everyone's eyes.
The quiet crowd then started the latest round of carnival.
"It really is water, Your Majesty!"
As an emperor, Xiao Yuqi is a role model for all people.
Naturally, I cannot jump around and sing without any image like others.
He just stood there quietly, with his hands behind his back.
His clenched fists betrayed his inner excitement.
The corners of Xiao Yuqi's eyes turned red, and it took a long time for the excitement in his heart to subside.
"He Hu and He Bao dug out the water source, performed a great deed, and benefited the people. I reward them with a thousand taels of silver and appoint He Hu as the county magistrate of Jing County to protect the people and benefit their livelihood."
This overwhelming wealth stunned He Hu.
Finally, it was He Bao, who was standing next to him, who reacted and knelt down to express his gratitude. He pulled him, and he finally reacted and knelt down immediately.
Thank you for your grace.
The former magistrate of Jing County had long been arrested and imprisoned on death row.
Just waiting to be executed.
Today, throughout the northern border, talent is dwindling and official positions are vacant.
Xiao Yuqi personally appointed an illiterate country man as an official.
Although the official position was not high, just a small county magistrate, this move completely broke the usual rules for electing officials in the Tianyu Dynasty.
This makes more people believe in the upcoming exam.
This is not just a sudden impulse of Your Majesty, but a real institutional reform.
There is no interference from the aristocratic families.
All people are united.
In just two days, they dug several deep wells.
During this period, the grain purchased by Tianji Tower in the south was finally transported to the northern border.
Solved the urgent problem.
The day when Su Jianyue went to Yunmao Building to attend an event.
Xiao Yuqi was holding the first examination for ordinary people in the history of the Tianyu Dynasty at the prefectural government office.
This examination is divided into literary and martial arts tests.
There were no more than sixty people who took part in the written examination.
There were more than 400 people taking part in the martial arts test.
The disparity in numbers is huge.
This made Xiao Yuqi deeply aware of Tianyu’s current biggest dilemma.
There were no schools among the common people, only private schools established by wealthy families in various places, which only allowed family members to attend. The people who taught and answered questions were all knowledgeable people trained by the wealthy families themselves.
Now, the scholars come to take the exam.
There are people like Zhan Zixing who are disliked by their families.
There are also small families that have suffered from exclusion from the big families and feel unfair, and want to stand out.
No one from the real big clan participated.
They would only laugh at Xiao Yuqi's behavior behind his back and think it was ridiculous.
Want to use a poor family to fight against aristocratic families?
It's no less than a mayfly trying to shake a tree, it's simply a pipe dream.
It's not like Xiao Yuqi hadn't heard such rumors.
But, everything is difficult at the beginning.
He always has to make the first move.
Now, people laugh at his naivety and stupidity, so what if he daydreams?
Time will tell.
He is not afraid of failure.
Even if he fails once, he will learn from his strengths and weaknesses and start the second, third, and fourth attempts.
He firmly believed that one day he would succeed.
Aristocratic families are not unshakable.
They just win because they have controlled good resources for a long time and have taken advantage of the right time and place.
At six o'clock in the morning, Su Jianyue was awakened by a call from her assistant.
She opened the door and saw a crowd of people standing outside.
The new assistant stood at the door, with a very cute bun on her head, showing eight beautiful teeth, and waved at Su Jianyue: "Hi! Sister, let us do your makeup!"
Su Jianyue rubbed his eyes and yawned.
Led everyone into the house.
The assistant has a very cute name, Ruan Jiujiu.
She is a young girl who just turned twenty years old.
She has a chubby face and always likes to wear her hair in a bun. Her naturally curly bangs cover half of her forehead just right, making her look very cute.
Ruan Jiujiu is a very diligent and smart girl.
After spending two days with Su Jianyue, I figured out some of Su Jianyue's living habits.
For example, Su Jianyue must eat breakfast every morning. She is not picky about what to eat, but she is very picky about the taste.
Ruan Jiujiu handed the bag in her hand to Su Jianyue.
"The dumplings here are super delicious. They also have soy milk, which I made at home using freshly ground red beans, added with rock sugar and boiled. When it's ready, I also added osmanthus flowers. It's fragrant and sweet, and it's delicious. I brought you a cup especially!"
Su Jianyue was very satisfied with this little assistant.
She took a sip of red bean milk and it was still hot!
After taking a bite, the sweet and sticky taste is extremely smooth, sliding along the lips and teeth, to the throat, and falls into the stomach warmly.
The aroma of red beans was enhanced by osmanthus, and the sweetness was just right. Su Jianyue nodded with satisfaction.
“Delicious!”
After receiving the affirmation, Ruan Jiujiu's eyes curved into crescents.
Smiling from ear to ear.
Su Jianyue finished her breakfast.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, she let the makeup artist do her makeup.
Su Jianyue was busy until half past seven, when she finally changed into a pure white fishtail skirt and a pair of diamond-strap high-heeled sandals. Her long hair was tied up high with a new Chinese-style feather hairpin inserted in it.
The design looks refreshing and simple, yet detailed.
The person who serves as a foil becomes even more elegant and refined.
"Hey, Sister Lulu, why is this jewelry box empty?"
