Xia Qinglan's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, and she had even prepared a draft and was about to resign, but at this juncture, that servant unexpectedly came. He breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zongzheng Fusu quietly.
Zongzheng Fusu didn't look sideways, passed him by, and stepped in front of him.
Zongzheng Fusu, Yuchizhen and Yuchimo saluted Emperor Ning together.
Emperor Ning waved his hands impatiently to get them up, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Chizhen, and asked, "Old Eleven, I heard that the seven major clans have joined together to control the flood in Lingxi and have achieved initial results. Now The disaster in Lingdong is even more serious, and the national treasury is empty, and there is no money to build Jiangling Dam, so you can give me some advice, see if you can solve this urgent need?"
Yu Chizhen governed Lingxi with the strategy of leading troops. All the victims of the disaster were registered in the book and were claimed and supported by the seven major clans. After the disaster, these victims were used by the seven major clans to work and pay off their debts. The reason why this method is effective is that Yuchi really took precautions before they happened. As early as when he accepted Lingxi, he perfected the local household registration system.
"Father, Lingdong is different from Lingxi. Only the aristocrats in the city have household registration. Most of the rest of the poor people migrated here from the Mannan area. The number of people is so large that it is difficult to count. Besides, we don't have so many people in emergency situations. Time to improve the household registration system..." Yuchi lowered his brows, "I can't think of a solution to this matter."
"I knew you were a wooden fish head, so I would just do some rigid things! If it really comes to such a critical moment, I really can't count on you!" Zongzheng Fusu, "Fusu, what about you? Since the Duanyang Festival, you have been idle in Beijing, have you thought of any way?"
Zongzheng Fusu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm not familiar with Lingdong, and I don't know the local terrain, so the water control can only be left to the Ministry of Industry. I have no choice."
"Fusu, you have always been resourceful and resourceful. I never thought that this time you... ah!" Emperor Ning was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Yu Chizhen and Zongzheng Fusu looked at each other, then stepped forward and said, "Father, Lingdong is the fiefdom of the Goddess. Now the Goddess is missing, and the third brother is the husband of the Goddess. The third brother should be in command of Lingdong! Why don't you ask, Father?" Third brother, maybe he can find a way."
Because of the disappearance of the Goddess, Emperor Ning turned his anger on Yu Chimo and didn't plan to pay any attention to him anymore, but since Yu Chizhen mentioned it in person, he couldn't do it in front of so many ministers and not give Yu Chimo face as a prince. So, he turned his eyes slightly, looked at Yu Chimo coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Prince, tell me! If you really have a solution, I will hand over Lingdong to you to manage!"
"Thank you, father!" Yu Chimo was overjoyed, but his face was still serious, and he hurried forward and said, "I have been thinking about this for the past few days. The Ministry of Industry has drawn up the blueprint for the construction of Jiangling Dam. To put it bluntly, the treasury is empty and short of money! Master Xia has done it before, but this is not the time to pursue it. My son thinks it is important to raise money!"
"Well, tell me, how do you raise it?" Emperor Ning raised his eyelids, with a careless expression on his face.
"Father knows that there are rumors in Lingdong that 'Ximen's wine and meat stinks, and the road is frozen to death'. This 'Ximen' is not someone else, it is the Ximen family, the head of the four major families in Lingdong! There are even rumors that the four major families in Lingdong The wealth of the family is worth half of Ningdu City's wealth!"
