The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Xie Changshi couldn't react at all for a while, and whispered: "How come you can't eat fish in Xinliang?"

Even if Xinliang doesn't sell it for the time being, it can still be purchased in Changzhou or Quanzhou, right?

How could Xie Changshi have imagined that the young prince was using this to remind him that a reservoir should be built in Xinliang.

Gu Yuzhi was about to cry. He didn't expect that shopkeeper Wen would make a mistake in his prediction.

Xie Changshi is suitable as a staff member, and he is suitable for coordinating various affairs of His Highness' fiefdom, but he really knows everything about how to farm - he knows nothing!
He hummed twice in dissatisfaction, "Eat fish, eat fish." After eating two more fish, Xie Changshi might know what he meant!

After hearing that everyone in the mansion had been eating fish for three days, Magistrate Qi finally came to rescue everyone.

Magistrate Qi looked at Xie Changshi, who had been very busy recently, but his cheeks had sunken a lot, and said in surprise: "No matter how many affairs there are in the government, Xie Changshi still needs to pay more attention to his health."

Xie Changshi seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "Does the Governor of Qi like to eat fish? If so, why not stay in the mansion for lunch?"

One more person eating fish means one less bite of fish they can eat!

It was rare for Xie Changshi to use such small tricks to scheme against someone, and he looked at Magistrate Qi with a subtle look.

Magistrate Qi was not ignorant. He could see that something was wrong with Xie Changshi's eyes, and hesitantly said: "Then it is better for me to be respectful and obey my orders."

Xie Changshi breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face. He was afraid that Magistrate Qi would regret it, so he quickly asked his servants to inform Aunt Xu.

This situation...

No matter how he looked at it, Magistrate Qi thought it was a bit strange. He coughed lightly and said cautiously: "Is there anything unhappy about Xie Changshi? You might as well tell me, maybe my subordinates can help me find a solution."

Xie Changshi sighed for a while. It was hard to say anything bad about His Highness King Wen, so he just said: "Your Highness is afraid that there will be no fresh fish to eat in Xinliang. The house has been eating fish for every meal for three days in a row. "

It's not terrible to eat fish every meal for three consecutive days. What's terrible is that it will be like this every day in the future.

Xie Changshi's whole body exuded an aura of resentment, and his eyes were pitiful and helpless. Magistrate Qi tried hard to hold it in and think about sad things, so he didn't laugh out loud.

"Your Highness is still young. He didn't know that there are fish to eat in Xinliang..."

Magistrate Qi suddenly remembered and laughed: "Your Highness is reminding me that the reservoir in Xinliang should be built in advance. However, this year's official service is to repair the official road. Your Highness needs to find a solution for the reservoir. ”

"As for the candidate to build the reservoir, I can help you think of a way. Your Highness likes to eat fish. I suggest that you build some small ponds while building the reservoir. Once it is completed, I can have some fish fry sent from here. past."

Xie Changshi calculated the money in the government's treasury. The reservoir's own subsidy was nothing. After all, His Highness was young and had not contracted any bad habits. The income from the escort agency and the medical center was enough to maintain the government's various expenses. After the increase in the year, the government's treasury Not much silver is used.

"In this case, I would like to trouble Magistrate Qi to worry about this matter." The smile on Xie Changshi's face became more sincere, "I will go and tell His Highness the good news now."

While it's still early, I quickly asked the government to buy some vegetables and come back. If I can't eat fish at noon, I won't eat fish...

Gu Yuzhi looked a little worried now when he looked at the fish. Wu Sheng and Wen Shu complained: "Recently, all the guards in the mansion have been using the excuse that there is something wrong with the escort agency, and there are fewer and fewer people who can eat fish."

Not to mention the guards, even Xue Ye recently felt that the meat prepared by Cai Lian was more delicious, and she had not come to eat with him for two days in a row.

Wen Shu and Wen Shu were a little dumbfounded for a moment. They didn't know whether to sympathize with Gu Yuzhi or think that he had brought it upon himself.Your Highness might as well ask directly how fish grow...

Counting on such a roundabout way to make Xie Changshi understand the importance of building a reservoir is simply harder than climbing to the sky.

Gu Yuzhi couldn't even practice writing anymore. He held his chin with his hands and sighed like Xie Changshi.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Xie Changshi made a rare gaffe. Not only did he raise his voice, but his tone also sounded impatient, "Your Highness, I have found a way to solve the problem of not being able to eat fish in Xinliang."

Gu Yuzhi didn't react for a while, his face was full of melancholy and confusion: "What can I do?"

Xie Changshi sorted out his image a little, "Build a reservoir. Prefect Qi said that while building the reservoir, several small ponds can be built. Whatever fish your Highness wants to eat, fry can be sent from Changzhou, but..."

But what but!
Gu Yuzhi didn't want to hear it, but when he heard about the construction of the reservoir, he was almost moved to tears.

o (╥﹏╥) o
If he had known that only Magistrate Qi could think of it, he should have gone to Magistrate Qi early in the morning.

"But His Highness needs to pay for this himself..."

After Xie Changshi finished speaking, he looked up and saw Gu Yuzhi's tearful look. He couldn't help but reflect, could his tone just now be too serious?

Or is it that after experiencing these things, His Highness has gradually developed a carefree and carefree character?

It can't go on like this.

Xie Changshi secretly wondered whether he should mention this matter to the Emperor the next time he wrote back to the Emperor, and give more support to His Highness, so as not to make His Highness grow crooked...

When he thought about not having to eat fish anymore, Gu Yuzhi's tone became particularly cheerful: "If the reservoir is so important, Xie Changshi should arrange for people to repair the reservoir first."

He promised that he would...

No, I don’t want to eat fish this year!
Gu Yuzhi rolled his eyes and said very cleverly: "Is the Treasury enough? Let's just build the reservoir first. There is no need to be so anxious about ponds."

Naturally, Xie Changshi didn't know how much it would cost to build a large reservoir. He had to find professionals to do this.

He had already separately calculated the cost of land reclamation and building a mansion early, and the remaining treasury money could be used to build the reservoir.

However, these matters had to be settled again by the accountant. Xie Changshi did not dare to ask the general to put all the pressure on His Highness, so he turned around and went to Magistrate Qi and others to discuss it.

Anyway, I have already visited Magistrate Qi so many times, and one more time is not too much.

On the fifth day after Wenfu finally stopped eating fish, the first batch of craftsmen set out for Xinliang.

These people were sent from various prefectures in Mobei, and at the same time they were sent with belated filial piety.

After Xie Changshi checked carefully, he signaled to Gu Yuzhi that he could accept it, and then asked Qi Chenglang to take these things to Jinzhou for sale under the pretext of being an escort.

For the young prince Gu Yuzhi, what he needs most now is money, but if these prefects really send money, he does not dare to ask for it. The best solution is to have people take it to Jinzhou to sell it. (End of chapter)
