Zhu Fuli had gotten used to him kissing her from time to time.
"I can also imitate Ali's handwriting. Ali, do you want to try it?" He took a piece of paper and put it in front of her.
Zhu Fuli put down the book, took the pen he handed to him, and wrote two words.
Yan Tinglan took a look and imitated it.
After it dried, Zhu Fuli picked up the paper and observed it carefully. "It is indeed exactly the same."
After being curious, I wish Fuli to continue reading.
After a while, Zhang Yuanlu came in again.
"Your Majesty, the officials from the Ministry of Works have arrived."
Zhu Fuli wanted to stand up and sit aside, but he pressed his shoulder and said, "Ali, you don't have to leave. Just sit here."
His eyes were determined, and Zhu Fuli couldn't persuade him, so he didn't move.
"Let them in."
"yes."
"Your Highness, I greet you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"
"Stand up and take a seat."
Two young eunuchs came in carrying a bench.
"Li County and other six counties in Jiangdong are often flooded, but the three counties next door, including Chang County, are often short of water. We need to build a water conservancy project between Li County and Chang County to integrate flood control and drainage. Do you have any ideas?"
"It should be feasible to dig a water transfer project between the two counties, divert the river water near Li County to Chang County, and drain the water from the high ground with water trucks."
"There have been droughts and floods for many years, so why don't you do it in the past years?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's that we don't have the money!" Several officials knelt on the ground again.
Zhu Fuli's eyelids twitched and she felt pain at the sound.
"Sit down. There is still some silver in the treasury. I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate it to you to dig the canal."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Let someone survey the landforms, draw blueprints, and recruit nearby villagers for manpower and offer them rewards. If I find out that you dare to embezzle the project funds and treat the people who dig the canal harshly, I will execute your entire clan."
"I dare not! I will do it right away!"
"Back off."
"yes."
"Zhang Yuanlu."
"The old slave is here."
"Go and call the officials from the Ministry of Revenue over."
"yes."
Zhu Fuli said, "I have a blueprint of an improved waterwheel."
"Ali drew this herself?" Yan Tinglan looked at her.
"Um."
He leaned over and kissed her on the lips, "Ali is really my baby."
“You haven’t even looked at it yet.”
"I know Ali won't say anything without assurance."
Zhu Fuli remained silent. How did he know?
She stood up and Yan Tinglan took her hand, "Where are you going, Ali?"
"Let the librarian get the blueprints."
"I'll go."
"I'm tired of sitting."
"Come back soon, Ali."
Zhu Fuli nodded.
He is so clingy.
After a while, she came back and sat down.
Zhang Yuanlu had just sent someone to call the Ministry of Revenue over. When he came back, he heard Yan Tinglan say, "Zhang Yuanlu, where is the Minister of Works? Send someone to call him back."
"yes."
Not long after the Minister of Works left, he was called back by a panting eunuch. The Minister of Works returned to the imperial study, also panting.
His old bones.
"Pour a cup of tea for Lord Xu."
Zhang Yuanlu went to pour tea after hearing this.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. What instructions did Your Majesty send me back for?"
"Master Xu, please sit down and rest for a while. Let's talk about it after you have recovered from your breathing problem."
"yes."
"There is a village in Jiangdong Chong County whose annual rice production is much higher than that of other counties. Lord Xu, send someone to take a look. It may be helpful to increase the rice production of our dynasty."
"When asking for methods, don't act so high and mighty. Officials serve the people. After being officials for so long, they forget what it means to be an official."
"I obey your command."
The secretary came in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the things are here."
