Chapter 247 Should I arrange some lovers for my daughter?
It was learned that in addition to Song Shucheng, they also killed several people who wanted to sue the officials.
Qi Lian was furious and sentenced them to immediate execution according to the law.
Without waiting for the punishment, they were beheaded in the market the next day.
This move frightened those who had evil intentions, and they no longer dared to do anything rash.
Dong Chunlan learned the truth and fainted from crying.
But when she heard her daughter say that she wanted to be an official in the future, she regained hope of living.
If the daughter had become an official, perhaps the son's unnecessary death would not have happened again.
She wants to live a good life with her daughter.
The government gave them one hundred taels of silver as compensation, and Qi Shaoyu also used his connections to settle the mother and daughter in Zangke County.
"You can go to study first. The Empress's girls' academy should be opened here this year." Qi Shaoyu gave a few instructions before leaving.
"Okay." Song Wan knew that he was a big shot from the capital, so it was right to listen to him.
Qi Lian and Qi Shaoyu drove the steam carriage back to the capital.
Song Wan's eyes widened when she saw the peculiarly shaped car.
While she was distracted, Qi Lian and the others left.
Song Wan hurriedly chased after him, waved her hand and shouted, "Big brother, thank you."
"See you again if we are destined to do so."
When Qi Shaoyu heard her voice, he turned around and waved to her.
…
【Master Qi did a great job! 】
[Those people deserved to die. It's a pity for the people who died in vain.]
Lu Li had already learned about the fate of those corrupt officials from the gossip system, and she was so happy that she ate an extra big bone for dinner.
Lu Yanshi's hand paused, and when he knew the situation in Zangke County, he felt relieved.
The next morning he went to court.
Lu Yanshi received the letter sent back by Long Wudi.
The letter said that the volcano had stopped erupting for a long time and should be fine, and asked him what to do next.
Such an island cannot be left there empty.
When the court officials heard this, they immediately burst into tears.
It’s over. I’m going to be sent to guard the island.
If the emperor calls me this time, I won’t dare to refuse again.
Everyone prayed secretly in their hearts, not to mention their names.
Unexpectedly, when they were all entangled, the prince consort Pei Zhiyu suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Fuso Island to guard it."
Everyone was delighted.
It would be great if someone is willing to take the blame!
So they kept coming out to praise Pei Zhiyu for how great he was and how suitable he was to be stationed on the island.
Lu Yanshi frowned.
"If you go, what will the princess do?"
Could it be that there is a problem in their relationship and Pei Zhiyu wants to escape? In that case, should he arrange some lovers for his daughter to prevent her from being too sad?
Lu Yanshi started to have wild thoughts in his mind.
"Your Majesty, this is actually what the princess meant." Pei Zhiyu felt helpless.
Since Lu Yao learned that no one was willing to guard Fuso Island, he decided to go by himself.
But she was pregnant at the time, and her father would not agree even if she told him.
But now it has been three months since she gave birth and her strength has almost recovered.
She planned to wait for a while, until the child was six months old, and then bring up the matter with her father.
Lord Qu said that the land grown under the volcanic ash is very fertile and suitable for growing food.
If there is an opportunity, maybe we can even develop sea rice.
Lu Yao was eager to try.
Pei Zhiyu knew what she wished, and when he heard the emperor bringing up the old matter during court today, he took the initiative to speak.
After hearing the whole story, Lu Yanshi felt deeply comforted.
"You bunch of old foxes are really not as good as my daughter." He looked at these ministers with some disdain.
The court officials were also stunned. They never expected that Lu Yao, a princess of a noble family, would take the initiative to go to such a remote place.
They suddenly felt a little ashamed.
"If Yao'er has thought it through, then I will agree. But An'an is still young, so you should wait for a while before setting off." Lu Yanshi made the decision.
He felt relieved to let his daughter look after the child.
After all, there are gold, silver and copper mines under the island.
What should we do if outsiders come and have bad intentions?
Yao'er is kindhearted and will definitely not rebel.
Pei Zhiyu...
Lu Yanshi stared at the prince consort for a few seconds.
This person is the kind of love-brained person that Xiaojiu mentioned.
As long as Yao'er is alive, he will obey Yao'er's orders and there is no need to worry.
"I obey your order." When Pei Zhiyu heard that the emperor agreed to let him and his wife go to Fuso Island, he immediately accepted the order.
Now that we have the people stationed there, where should we get the people on the island?
This has become a new issue that everyone is discussing.
"Wouldn't it be enough to let the servants of the princess's mansion go with them?"
"Of course it's not enough. There are more than one island. They also said they need to know how to farm. How can the servants in the princess's mansion know how to do that?"
Everyone started discussing it one after another.
Lu Li felt a little overwhelmed after listening to this and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
[Why not just send the people in Zangke County who were hit by the disaster and have no houses there?]
[Since we have to build a new house anyway, it’s okay to build it in a different location, right? ]
Lu Yanshi, who was originally struggling, suddenly brightened up when he heard these words.
He smiled and looked down at Lu Li.
"What do you think, Xiaojiu? Who should go?"
The court officials who were still discussing suddenly quieted down.
Could it be that the Ninth Princess dreamed of any of them?
What will we do if we ask them to move their whole family there?
Everyone became nervous.
"Let the people in Zangke County who have been affected by the disaster go." Lu Li said what was in his mind without thinking.
"It's hard to leave one's hometown. No one would be willing to leave their hometown unless they couldn't survive there."
"That's right. Even if you are the emperor, you can't force people to move."
Some people couldn't help but stand up and refute.
"Then give them a reward." Lu Li was speechless.
Whenever the emperor asked her to do something, he would always give her a gold lock. But these adults wanted people to move, but they didn't give them anything.
Court officials: ...
It’s not like they didn’t think of giving rewards.
This is just the emperor squeezing out money. The treasury is tight and there is no way he can give them that much money.
Pei Zhiyu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you give them the land?"
For the people who depend on the weather for their livelihood, more land means more harvest.
Anyway, Fuso Island is all empty land and can be divided up as you like.
Lu Yanshi nodded, thinking that what the prince consort said made sense.
"Yes, we can give them some land. If they have one mu of land in their hometown, we can give them two mu."
"We can also exempt taxes in the first year so that people can save some food to live on."
Inspired by Pei Zhiyu, the ministers also put forward many useful suggestions.
Lu Li yawned when he heard this.
[So boring, I really want to go out and play. ]
[When will the boat be finished? When can I go out and play?]
Listening to his daughter's voice, Lu Yanshi was very worried.
Ever since she went out, my daughter can't stay in the palace anymore and keeps asking to go out and play.
How can this be possible?
He would never feel comfortable letting his daughter go out without him by her side.
But he had just returned and went out again, and the court officials would definitely not agree.
No, he had to find a way to tie Xiaojiu's heart to the palace.
Lu Yanshi quickly thought of a good solution.
