King Jin expressed his doubts, "You gave them money to build houses, which would cost a lot."

"Even if there is compensation, I'm afraid it won't be enough to cover the money you spent."

As soon as Li Jinglan heard it, she knew that Prince Jin didn't understand real estate economics.

What is the most profitable thing in the world?

It's real estate!

Li Jinglan's plan is to purchase surrounding houses while building the house.

Build a series of shops together and sell the properties or rent them out.

If she doesn't want to sell it to her, don't force her.

The worst that can happen is that if there’s one household in your area that refuses to sell, then I won’t give money to the other households.

Let the residents quarrel with each other.

But she couldn't tell King Jin like that, so she smiled and said, "It's not expensive, I just need to buy bricks and various ingredients."

"As for the labor, we can let the men from Xishui Village go."

Li Jinglan's plan was to give each person ten cents a day and provide three meals.

For those who are willing to build houses, Li Jinglan will provide them with three meals a day when they perform labor service next year, and each meal will be delivered to the construction site.

Sent until the corvée was finished.

Li Jinglan secretly praised Magistrate Xu again, "The Magistrate is honest and upright. He used the 100 taels of silver he found in Shopkeeper Zhang's house to compensate the damaged shops."

"Once the arson case is solved, there will be corresponding compensation."

"After I get the compensation, I can basically cover my expenses."

Although Li Jinglan said this, King Jin still felt that Li Jinglan was at a disadvantage.

"I just looked at the blueprint. If the whole street is built into two-story buildings, it will cost about five or six hundred taels of silver."

Li Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled: "Three or four hundred taels of silver will be enough."

Then, she told King Jin the prices of bricks, soil, wood and labor.

How much material is needed depends on the size of each house.

He spoke very clearly.

The King of Jin was fascinated by what he heard.

This is really the case of the food and supplies being moved before the troops move out.

The house hasn't been built yet, but Li Jinglan has already figured out everything.

The King of Jin had seen how officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue did their work.

Not as neat as Li Jinglan.

King Jin heard Li Jinglan's voice again: "I wonder if Mr. Wuyou has anything else to ask?"

King Jin thought for three seconds and said, "There is something I would like to ask you."

"The person in charge of food in our temple was corrupt and was arrested a few days ago."

"It was later discovered that the man in charge of food had promoted five people who had a very good relationship with him."

“When I wanted to take down these five people, I found that they were all quite capable.”

"I want to ask you, young lady, is there any way to take down these five people?"

Li Jinglan thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder what kind of profit these five people can bring to the temple?"

"Profit?" King Jin was confused for a moment, and then a vague idea came to his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.

"If these five people can bring profits to the temple, but you insist on taking them down, why not make a reward openly and let them sign up tomorrow to see how much each person can get."

"Tonight, find two people who have a very good relationship with them and you want to drive them away together. Tell one of them that the reward given by the temple is actually severance pay, and tell the other that the temple is going to give them a reward."

"Those who know they will be rewarded will naturally fight for it, while those who know the money is severance pay will naturally disdain to fight for it and plan to use connections to stay in the temple tomorrow."

"The next day, the temple distributed all the rewards."

“Those who give up the reward will naturally not get the money.”

"These five people are no longer a team. Naturally, they will hate each other and expose each other. You just need to use the evidence they expose to take advantage of it."

"You can leave the temple or stay."

Prince Jin raised his eyebrows high, then slowly dropped them.

If we expand this strategy in a different way, we can definitely manage the interpersonal relationships in the government office.

The clerks in the yamen have been clerks for generations. As the saying goes, clerks are permanent, but officials come and go.

It is extremely difficult for officials who come to power to divide, govern and conquer them.

With such a wife, Lu Bozhou will definitely be able to manage the county government well.

If the clerks are under control, the county's tax revenue will be stable.

What remains is to govern the people and suppress the bandits.

Can a woman like this be raised in the countryside?

Thinking about when Li Jinglan married Lu Bozhou, Lu Bozhou was still imprisoned.

Li Jinglan rescued her husband the day after she got married, and after settling him down, she went home to take care of her household affairs.

All those who should be expelled were expelled within a few days.

This courage.

Even the King of Jin was somewhat impressed.

They are elders who moved in under the pretext of funeral arrangements, and they have a natural suppressive power.

Li Jinglan was actually able to drive people away.

Lu Xuande's family was also punished: his only descendant was sent to prison and would never be able to take the imperial examinations again.

But Lu Bozhou's reputation was not only intact, but even higher.

This means.

Not everyone can do it.

"Thank you for your advice." King Jin nodded with a smile and walked out of the house.

Li Jinglan chuckled in the inner room: "Farewell, Mr. Wu You."

This is King Jin!

The emperor's half-brother.

The most carefree prince in the court.

But he is also the person most trusted by the emperor.

The Black Iron Army is in the hands of King Jin.

The safety of the entire capital city lies in the hands of Prince Jin.

It doesn’t matter if you offend the emperor, you can go to Prince Jin to plead for mercy.

Offended King Jin?

Wait to die!

I remember one time when the emperor reviewed a memorial, he wrote directly on it: "The king is not pleased, I do not approve it."

This king is the King of Jin.

Is King Jin the one who wants Lu Bozhou to go home, or the one who doesn't want Lu Bozhou to go home?

Li Jinglan pondered in her heart.

Anyway anyway.

King Jin cannot see Lu Bozhou now.

Everything has to be done carefully.

And the current prince.

How did he die?

No matter what Li Jinglan thought of Prince Jin, Prince Jin set up a stall outside the courtyard every day.

After calculating the fortunes of all the villagers in Xishui Village.

King Jin also had a general understanding of the situation in Xishui Village.

He made a decision.

"Stay here until the New Year, return to the capital before the New Year, and come back next year to check on the harvest."

During the Chinese New Year, princes and dukes from all over the country would return to Beijing.

The Xuantie Army had to go back to strengthen the defenses in the capital.

After the King of Jin finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Jinghuan and said, "Let the boys intensify their training."

Xu Jinghuan stood up suddenly, holding the handle of the long sword with his hand, and said with a fearless look: "Master, you decide who you want to kill!"

King Jin liked Xu Shisan very much. He kicked him and said, "Go and pass on the order. Don't pass it too much or too little."

Anyway, I have nothing to do today.

Prince Jin decided to go to the study to read a book.

I picked up a notebook at random and saw a piece of paper when I opened it.

Just pick it up.

"Chinese music goes to the countryside? What is this about? The sentences don't make sense."

He frowned and looked at it for a while before he understood.

It turns out that the words on the paper were written horizontally, not vertically.

In a quiet dream.

The joy of youth,

The rose and the skylark sing.

All in the shade of the oaks,

Appeared in my dreams.

At the end is a line of beautiful small characters, as if there are two people's hands on the paper.

If anyone can see, I want to tell you that our dreamland is under the moonlight over the lotus pond.

Prince Jin put the paper back into the book.

Turned another page.

I wanted to read a book but couldn't continue because my mind was occupied by the few sentences I just read.

That faint sadness and a lingering depression.

Mixed with homesickness, it lingers in my heart.

He closed the book and looked up at the gray winter sky.

I don’t know what I’m thinking.

But this faint sadness soon disappeared.

Prince Jin opened the book and began to read it again.
