The Dark Prince's Special Forces Concubine

"Your Majesty, people in the world cannot live without eating, drinking and having fun! Whether it's seafood specialties and snacks, tourist cultural attractions, or hot spring resorts, these can all be developed. This year's Four Nations Tournament happens to be the turn of Donglin Kingdom. Let them see a different Donglin Kingdom, leave behind large amounts of silver, and be reluctant to leave." Mu Qingqing drew long-term goals for Emperor Tai'an.

"Sister-in-law, all you said requires human, material and financial resources. It will take more than a year or two to develop so many projects."

Emperor Tai'an, who was relatively familiar with the national conditions of Donglin State, which he controlled, said worriedly.

Mu Qingqing bared her white teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if you have heard of this saying? If you want to be rich, build roads first."

Emperor Tai'an looked at Ye Nanli, who was even more confused, in confusion and shook his head.

Building roads and getting rich are two completely different things. How can they be confused?

Mu Qingqing explained to them in a vivid and emotional way the importance of road construction.

"Little Dezi, serve a pot of good tea to Princess Pingyang and the Sixth Prince." Emperor Tai'an quickly instructed Eunuch De before Mu Qingqing could speak.

"So, building roads can not only increase employment opportunities, promote economic development, and improve people's living standards, but also make a lot of money from other countries!"

After listening to Mu Qingqing's long speech, Emperor Tai'an was dumbfounded for a moment, and finally came to a perfect summary.

"Your Majesty, you are half right," Mu Qingqing's clear and bright eyes flickered slightly, "The most important half is that it is conducive to the development of military strength!"

"Oh? Why?" Emperor Tai'an thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, all roads lead to the capital. We have built the roads straight and wide, with a smooth and hard surface, which is conducive to the various operations of the different branches of our army."

Mu Qingqing spoke clearly and logically as she told him a lot of military strategies.

Emperor Tai'an looked at Mu Qingqing as if he didn't recognize him, his eyes motionless.

Is this little girl still human?

He even understands marching, fighting, strategic equipment, and military deployment so clearly!

The topic turned to Ye Nanli's strengths, and knowing Mu Qingqing's secret (he thought the means of transportation Mu Qingqing just mentioned was a four-wheeled car), he nodded in cooperation.

"Brother, Qingqing is right. A flat road is very conducive to the passage of soldiers."

Emperor Tai'an also agreed very much. He pondered for a moment and said, "But the funds needed to build roads across the country are not a small amount. I'm afraid the national treasury cannot support it."

"This is not easy to do!" Mu Qingqing's fair face was full of confidence. "The plan I mentioned last time mentioned the follow-up employment of retired soldiers. Retired soldiers from all over the country are a considerable labor force. We provide food and accommodation, and processing fees. It's a win-win situation."

"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten that we need to prepare the funds for these prerequisites! Money for buying materials, money for food and accommodation for road builders, and wages for road builders. Another point is that road construction is physical work, and most of the retired disabled soldiers cannot bear it, right?" Emperor Tai'an asked cautiously.

Mu Qingqing pointed her index fingers together and tapped them gently, "Your Majesty, I have a magical tool for road construction. It is simple, fast, and does not require much physical effort. Do you think this is feasible? I will provide the raw materials. As for the money for road construction~~"

"Hehe," Mu Qingqing smiled, "I wonder if the emperor has carefully read my plan?"

Emperor Tai'an frowned and pondered for a long time. After a long while, he shouted, "Sister-in-law, you mean fundraising? Let the local merchants donate voluntarily and then build a monument to their merits?"

"Yes!"

"Will this work?" Emperor Tai'an asked without much belief.

Why does this sound so unreliable?

"Of course it will work!" Mu Qingqing said confidently, "Your Majesty, didn't I donate a bottle of frostbite cream to all the soldiers at the border for free? There are also many sponsors such as the Third Prince and Shopkeeper Fu. You can erect a monument in front of the palace gate and add words to it to see how it works this time?"

There is no shortage of wealthy businessmen in any country, and the thing that businessmen lack the least is money.

What they lack most is fame and fortune, which are invisible and intangible.

Emperor Tai'an's eyes lit up, "I will stop writing today and announce this policy at the celebration banquet later."

"Your Majesty, please also distribute the year-end bonuses to the ministers this year." Mu Qingqing blinked at Emperor Tai'an.

Emperor Tai'an rubbed his hands together and said, "Sister-in-law, did you bring the lottery ticket?"

"Well, they are placed on the two carriages in front of the palace gate. You can ask Eunuch De to send someone to get them later." Mu Qingqing nodded in the direction of Eunuch De.

"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome!" Emperor Tai'an gave Mu Qingqing a thumbs up sincerely.

Mu Qingqing thought that since the off-road vehicle and commercial vehicle had been launched today, she wanted to prevent Emperor Tai'an from hearing news that was unfavorable to him from other people.

"Your Majesty, I have some private matters to report to you in advance." Mu Qingqing gave Emperor Tai'an a heads-up in advance.

Emperor Tai'an raised his right hand into the air, "Sister-in-law, please speak."

Mu Qingqing cleared her throat and said, "I had some adventures some time ago and became the last disciple of Master Penglai. I learned a lot of skills. My master gave me a lot of strange things. I will report to His Majesty first."

So that some sour people in the court won't take this as an opportunity to criticize you! Mu Qingqing added silently in her heart.

"For example, you are the miracle doctor of Anqitang? Or these strange and wonderful things? Or fresh vegetables that are not in season?"

Emperor Tai'an stroked his beard gently with his left hand, picked up a pen with his right hand and joked to Mu Qingqing.

My sister-in-law is so cute. She reports everything to me and doesn’t keep anything to herself.

Mu Qingqing raised her bright eyes and glanced at Emperor Tai'an, then looked at Ye Nanli again, and saw that he was just staring at her seriously, with no other reaction.

Mu Qingqing moved her hips and said coquettishly, "Actually, it's more than just a little bit!"

Emperor Tai'an looked at his eccentric sister-in-law with amusement and laughed heartily: "Sister-in-law, you can tell me anything you want to say! I won't blame you."

"I am planning to train a group of multi-functional subordinates. They will be responsible for protecting the safety of my family and the palace in the future." Mu Qingqing said to Emperor Tai'an with a smile.

"How many subordinates does my sister-in-law plan to train?" Emperor Tai'an asked in a calm voice.

In all dynasties, there were regulations on the number of guards, secret guards, and Jingwei for court officials.

"Not much, just three hundred." Mu Qingqing looked at Emperor Tai'an with clear eyes and answered in a crisp voice.

There are only a few of them! Fortunately, fortunately! Emperor Tai'an felt relieved.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to report these people to me. With your status as Princess Pingyang, you are more than qualified to have 500 personal guards."

The impression that Mu Qingqing leaves in Emperor Tai'an's mind is that of a simple-minded and scheming girl.

Mu Qingqing faced Emperor Tai'an and said carefully, "Your Majesty, even the three hundred subordinates trained by this humble minister may be a little bit more powerful!"

After saying that, he raised the white index finger and thumb of his left hand and pointed to the tiny gap towards Emperor Tai'an.

Emperor Tai'an looked at the Q version of Mu Qingqing with amusement and asked curiously, "How much is it that's just a little bit powerful?"

As he spoke, Emperor Tai'an also imitated Mu Qingqing and made some hand gestures.
