sewer?
Yinzhen was a little surprised.
"How did you come up with the idea of doing this?"
"The capital city is a bustling and prosperous city, but I once took the wrong turn and went to some places where the sewage was emitting a foul stench because it couldn't be drained. Since we are building the academy, we plan to see if we can get cement out. If we can, it will solve the drainage problem and the capital city will be cleaner."
Because of severe flooding, some areas were so foul-smelling that only a few poor families lived there, and even then, there weren't many people. The large open spaces were quite heartbreaking to see.
In the eyes of later generations, those locations would be considered within the second or third ring road, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were worth a fortune. If the sewage problem were solved, some infrastructure could be built.
For example, public bookstores similar to libraries.
For example, a plaza where people can relax and enjoy themselves.
...
Furthermore, the first step in urban planning is to establish a good drainage system. If it is done well, future generations will benefit greatly.
Yinzhen nodded: "The idea is good. You can decide for yourself what your money is. Just do what you want."
Tong Cheng'er was very satisfied with his attitude; after all, she was in charge of her money.
"Then it's settled. Looks like we'll be busy before the New Year."
Yinzhen smiled and said, "Then we'll have to trouble our Cheng'er."
Tong Cheng'er maintained a composed and reserved demeanor on the surface, but she was actually very happy inside.
After the initial excitement, she felt something was off. What exactly was wrong?
She thought and thought, and something flashed through her mind. Suddenly, it dawned on her: wasn't she determined to be a lazy bum? How did things turn out like this?
She dreamt of eating and sleeping, but now she's getting involved in both "education" and "urban development." It seems her carefree, laid-back lifestyle is gone forever!
Seeing her lost in thought, Yinzhen asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Tong Cheng'er gave him a wry look and said, "I always feel like I made a huge mistake marrying you."
Yinzhen: ...
"Although after marrying you, I became the envy of everyone in the capital as the Fourth Princess Consort. People said that you no longer had affairs outside, that I was very lucky, and that you would earn me a lot of money, I still feel that I am losing out."
If other people in the capital heard what she said, they would probably scold her for being ungrateful and ask if she had a guilty conscience.
Yinzhen asked, puzzled, "How could it be a loss?"
He considered himself a good man. Although he was initially passive, he was one of the few men in the capital who could do what he did.
Why does the young lady feel that marrying him was a loss?
Yinzhen was puzzled.
Yinzhen was puzzled.
What does the young mistress mean to him?
"Before I married you, although I didn't have much money, I had no worries about food and clothing. I lived a very carefree life reading storybooks and petting cats. Now, forget about reading storybooks, I can hardly even pet a cat. Don't you think I've lost out big time?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen smiled helplessly, startled; he had thought it was something serious.
"This is a huge loss. How about this, I'll compensate you?"
Tong Cheng'er looked at her curiously: "What compensation?"
Yinzhen smiled, picked the person up, and walked to the bedside. They had already dismissed the others in the room while they were talking, so now it was just the two of them in the room.
Tong Cheng'er was suddenly picked up and startled, so she hugged his neck and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
"To make it up to you."
"What kind of compensation is this? I don't want it. Put me down now."
Yinzhen smiled and shook his head: "How can you say you don't want compensation? I'll take care of you and make sure you're comfortable."
Tong Cheng'er was stunned when she heard this. This person was becoming more and more inconsiderate in his speech, and he could actually say such things.
"You...you...you..."
Tong Cheng'er was speechless.
Yinzhen laughed even harder: "Don't worry, Cheng'er, I promise you'll feel comfortable."
After saying that, he whispered a few more words in her ear, making Tong Cheng'er blush.
Although... although she did feel good about it, well, how should I put it! It seems like he felt better, so how did it become compensation for him?
We've really lost a fortune, we've lost a lot of money.
Then, Yinzhen knocked the person down and then "served" the young princess properly.
Perhaps intentionally, Tong Cheng'er found him unusually demanding this time, which was actually more comfortable than usual.
...
The plan was written, and Dong Li came to see him.
Thinking about the instructions she had given, Tong Cheng'er quickly said, "Hurry up and let him in."
"Yes, Madam."
Dong Li entered quickly, but before he could even complete the proper greetings, Tong Cheng'er excused him, saying, "Tell me quickly, has the cement been delivered yet?"
Dong Li respectfully replied, "Your Highness, I have not failed your trust. The cement has been produced. Please inspect the results."
Tong Cheng'er smiled broadly upon hearing this: "Okay, let's go out now and see how the cement works."
Tong Cheng'er led her people out and found an open space, where Dong Li began mixing cement.
After mixing the cement, they began to spread it out on the ground.
"Madam, it should take two or three days to see the effects."
If the cement isn't dry, the desired effect won't be achieved.
Tong Cheng'er had forgotten about this; they really had to wait for the cement to dry.
However, looking at the cement in front of me, it does look like modern cement, so it shouldn't be wrong.
"Since it will take another two or three days, I will come back to check the results in two or three days."
After saying that, she praised Dong Li a few more times, saying that he was smart and could understand what she said and produce what she wanted. He was a natural for research.
