"Do you have a solution?" There was a hint of hope in the old butler's cloudy eyes.

Li Yewu smiled faintly: "Not yet, but ...... I'm sorry for you to find all the records and miscellaneous stories of Taiqicheng County, and I'll retreat and think about it, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

"Uh...... It's ......"

Finally, a master took the initiative to ask to read a book, and the old housekeeper was excited.

Soon he had a sad face again, and all the books in the house were taken and sold, and he had to buy them if he wanted the county chronicle.

…… They really have no money, the old housekeeper thought about it, and finally decided to go to Cui Mansion Yin to borrow the county chronicle.

……

Li Yewu is a cautious person, and every time he leaves for a place, he will do a background check on the place in advance, and understand all the humanities, customs, specialties, and taboos of the entire city before acting.

Although I didn't come here voluntarily, since I came, I had to adapt myself.

Therefore, reading the county records is the fastest way.

Fortunately, this body is a newcomer to the princess, and it is reasonable to say that she doesn't know anything about the customs here.

In this way, Li Yewu started the schedule of retreat and research.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye......

During this period, Li Yewu almost touched all the past and present lives of the ancestors of Taiqizhou.

Five years ago, Taiqi Prefecture was a small country attached to the Great Chu Empire, named "Taihe".

However, the king of Taihe was dissatisfied with the increasingly heavy tribute, and secretly rubbed and complied with the old enemy of the Great Chu Empire.

In a fit of rage, the Great Chu Emperor annexed this small country, turned it into his own state and county, and renamed it Tai Shan Prefecture.

King Taihe and his nobles were exiled, all his property was confiscated and sent back to the Great Chu treasury, and the transformed Taihe Prefecture was also given to Xiao Jiuxi as a fief.

There is a main city in Taiqi Prefecture, which is where she is now located, and there are four other counties, all of which are under the jurisdiction of Xiao Jiuxi, and there are also government officials and county orders under his command.

Xiao Jiuxi is equivalent to the king here, all the important organs in Tai Qi Prefecture obey him, and he obeys the orders of the Great Chu Emperor.

But I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of shooting the first bird, or if I really don't have ink in my chest, all in all, the prefectural Yin County Order here didn't play a role in helping Xiao Jiuxi, but let him go further and further.

Li Yewu has reason to suspect that although these officials are in the heart of Da Chu, they are in the previous dynasty, and they wish that Xiao Jiuxi was as outrageous as possible; The same is true of the people here, who are poor and lazy and do not produce, lying down every day and waiting for relief food, with the goal of eating Xiao Jiuxi poor and eating down.

Of course, the above is just Li Yewu's personal speculation.

But it doesn't matter, and solving the debt problem is the first thing to do now.

However......

Li Yewu supported his chin with one hand, and unconsciously tapped on the table with the other, completely trapped by Xiao Jiuxi's mess.

To pay off debts, you have to have money.

But Xiao Jiuxi's constant production was all sold, and there was no field, shop, or Zhuangzi.

These days, she has crossed Xiao Jiuxi's private vault, and her sleeves are empty......

She couldn't find anything to make money.

Moreover, when checking the private treasury, Li Yewu found that in addition to the four major families, Xiao Jiuxi had many, many, many other IOUs.

The Three Princes, the Four Princes, and even the Nine Princes...... The numbers add up to move mountains and reclaim the sea.

Of course, Xiao Jiuxi took the money to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and he made a contribution to the expansion of the territory of Dachu, but unfortunately he did not use the money to move mountains and seas, but threw it into the so-called "good people and benefiting the people" plan.

Li Yewu can already get a glimpse of the future days, as long as Xiao Jiuxi does not die, she will not only pay back the money, but also pay back!

But as long as Xiao Jiuxi is dead, she ...... Also play to the end.

The future is really dark!!

Thinking of the sad future, Li Yewu could only spur himself to hurry up and solve the problem first.

She unconsciously listed the fastest way to get money:

Open the tax treasury of Taiqi Prefecture and embezzle public funds!

On the grounds of "the remnants of the previous dynasty", he copied the wealth of the four major merchants.

Gather private soldiers to kill bandits and pay stolen money!

……

One by one, one by one, one is more ruthless than the other.

However...... But none of them could be realized.

Not to mention whether there is money in the tax treasury, if she really embezzles the money from the tax treasury of Taiqi Prefecture to repay Xiao Jiuxi's debts, I am afraid that the emperor's killing order will come down in the next second.

As for the seizure of the family, the four major families have been entrenched in Tai Yuan for many years, if they move, who knows if they will be involved in the remnants of the previous dynasty or something, in case they fight back against her...... Dream towns can't be implemented.

And although killing bandits and stealing money is a good way, what can I do......

Thinking of the fighting power of the King Mansion, she silently dispelled this thought.

After thinking about it, there is only one last way.

Ask God for food.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, Li Yewu opened the topographic map of Taiqi Prefecture and started a new round of calculations.

As mentioned before, the Great Chu Empire is a continent surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the territory is very broad.

Taiqi Prefecture is located on the coast of the Great Chu Empire, with mountains on the left, sea on the right, and a large river in the middle.

The mountains can dig gold mines, the sea can dig oil, the land around the river bank is fertile and suitable for farming, and the rivers and estuaries are open, suitable for shipping and business.

With good planning, it can indeed become a super-notch town.

The more Li Yewu looked at it, the more he liked it, if in modern times, it must be very cool to be able to take over such a town.

Even if it's ancient, if you plan well, this will become the legendary Garden of Eden.

She couldn't wait to start the renovation project now. However, she also knew that there was too much to deal with, and that there was so much to deal with.

For example, the immediate debt, the impending chaos for the heir, and the collapse of Great Chu, etc.

Thinking of this, Li Yewu had another headache, and if he wanted to build his dream town, he was afraid that he would have to wait.

Li Yewu let herself settle down and grasp the front of her, she took out the blank paper and began to look at the topographic map while listing the formula.

After an afternoon of calculations, Li Yewu circled several mountains.

Then he signaled Zicui, who was guarding outside the door, to ask the old housekeeper.

These days, Xiao Jiuxi's study with only IOUs has become her territory, and at this time, there are more books and four treasures of the study on the bookcase, and she has finally recovered a little of the temperament of the study.

The old housekeeper looked at the books and the four treasures of the study borrowed from Cui Fu Yin, and felt inexplicably moved.

The study room should be like this, and only with the fragrance of books and ink can it be called a study.

I hope that the future master, under the influence of the little lady, can also pick up books and be a pragmatic reader......

Soon, Li Yewu interrupted the old housekeeper's imagination.

"Butler, can you help me see if there are any bandits near these hills?"

"What...... What? The housekeeper wondered if he had heard it wrong, what was the little lady looking for?

Li Yewu calmly pointed to the circled hill and repeated the question again.

Only then did the old housekeeper react and looked at her worriedly: "What does the little lady want to do when she asks this?" ”

He had a bad premonition.
