Chapter 499 This is the crystallization of other people's wisdom
She knew that her second uncle wanted to survive, but what they did as a family of three was too chilling.

The people in the city lord's mansion retreated without a fight, and wanted to seek refuge with her elder sister. Who would give them face?

"En." Huang Jiuqi nodded slowly.

Ling Hua looked curiously at Hua Ran who was sitting motionless beside Huang Jiuqi, "This is?"

"I'm Hua Ran, master's apprentice." Hua Ran hurriedly introduced himself.

Ling Hua nodded and left.

Afterwards, Huang Jiuxi went to tell Ling Tian what he knew about building the dam. After hearing this, Ling Tian was shocked and immediately asked for advice humbly.

Huang Jiuxi told everything he knew.

Ling Tian was full of admiration, "Empress, you are really amazing, how did you come up with such a good idea."

Huang Jiuqi said somewhat inscrutablely, "This is the crystallization of other people's wisdom."

Even so, it didn't affect Ling Tian's admiration for Huang Jiuxi at all.

Ling Tian said worriedly, "I wrote to the city owners of the dozen or so cities yesterday, wondering if they will agree to dig the Grand Canal together."

Because people are selfish, if the drought happened in Rongli, the people in Rongli must solve it by themselves, but the construction of the Grand Canal will use the land of more than a dozen cities, which must be approved by the city owners.

And the empress said that the dozen or so people from the city would dig the Grand Canal together. He felt that this might not work, because it would require a lot of manpower and material resources. How could they agree?

Huang Jiuxi wasn't worried about this, "His Majesty's order is to call all the city lords of the dozen or so cities to Heji."

"Your Majesty?" Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again, "Empress Empress, no, you will implicate the nine clans if you falsely preach the imperial decree."

Huang Jiuqi took out the token that Di Siqi had given her before, and threw it to Ling Tian.

Ling Tian reached out to catch it, and looked down to see the emperor character on the golden token. He recognized this token, which belonged to the emperor. There was a picture of this token in his study.

The lord of each city has a painting of this token, which is also to prevent them from not knowing the emperor's token.

Ling Tian raised his head in a daze, "Empress Empress..."

"Everything is up to me." Huang Jiuxi's voice seemed to be able to calm people's hearts. After Ling Tian heard it, his nervous heart calmed down.

Ling Tian asked again: "Empress, the food and water you sent yesterday may not be enough for the people in the city. What should I do if I run out?"

"Don't worry about this, I will send some more over, and the imperial court will distribute them, and you can borrow some from other cities at that time."

Seeing that Ling Tian was relieved, Huang Jiuxi said again: "You can let the people of Rongli build the dam now, and the Grand Canal will start after meeting with other city lords for discussion."

"Okay, I'll get someone to build the dam now." Ling Tian returned the token to Huang Jiuqi and left the City Lord's Mansion.

Ling Tianzhai is kind-hearted and has great prestige in Rongli. The people will believe what he says, and almost no one comes out to refute it. Although there are very few people who are dissatisfied, they are finally persuaded by others.

After Ling Tian finished speaking with the people, he immediately wrote more than a dozen letters to other city owners, asking them to meet up in Heji.

I specifically emphasized that it was His Majesty's will, and I am not afraid that they will not come.

Even if they doubt it, they would rather believe it than believe it.

Because they are afraid of death.
