Little Fatty Qin Qing thought for a while, "I don't have anything I want to swear on. I just want to eat all the good food along the way and see what's the difference between the north and south."
As for Li Ke, he didn't say anything. He just drank his cup with Little Fatty.
Shen Shi Ye glanced at GongYimo and laughed, "Just wait and see. I will definitely become the capital's imperial guard's Left Commander! When you guys come back, I will still be the one to protect you! "
As he spoke, he drank his cup in a very heroic manner!
Listening to the other boys' expectations for the future, Gong Che's eyes also showed a trace of heroism!
"This Prince will definitely build a canal to benefit the people!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank his cup. Finally, everyone's gaze fell on GongYimo.
Looking at the ambitious and vigorous youths in front of her, GongYimo grinned, "May all of us succeed!"
After speaking, she drank her cup of wine amidst their cheerful laughter.
Since ancient times, sorrow was often accompanied by parting. Because there was no electronic communication, sometimes a short separation could be an eternal separation.
But they were young! Being young meant that there were unlimited possibilities. There was nothing to be afraid of. Only by moving forward and fighting! Only then could they achieve what they wanted the most!
This was youth.
After parting at Shili Pavilion, the youths' moods were clearly depressed. GongYimo quickly went over and took out the cardboard cards that she had cut and mysteriously said, "Don't be so depressed.
"Don't be so lifeless. Come, come, come, I'll teach you a game you've never played before!"
Thinking of the princess's clever mind, the few of them swept away their depression and one by one, they became spirited.
Under the expectant gazes of the three youths, GongYimo taught them how to play Fight the Landlord in one go, how to run fast, how to level up, and many other games, dazzling them. As for Li Ke, he was reading a book at the side, being a quiet handsome man.
But the infuriating thing was that when they played Fight the Landlord, GongYimo was the only one who won during the trial period. When it came to the money, these boys seemed to have changed into another person. The one who calculated was the best, while the careless GongYimo kept losing.
She searched all over her body and found that she really didn't have any money. She lifted the curtain and shouted to the front!
"Crown Prince gege! Brother Crown Prince! "
Hearing GongYimo's voice, Gong Che's back tensed up for a moment. Although he wanted to pretend that he didn't hear anything and continue walking, the horse beneath him was very obedient. It slowed down until it was parallel to the carriage.
"What happened?"
His tone and expression were still very gentle. GongYimo did not notice any difference in his voice. His little face fell miserably.
"Big Brother Crown Prince, they ganged up to bully me. I don't have any money on me. Big Brother Crown Prince, can you lend me some?"
Gong Che's expression didn't change. He directly took a purse from his waist and gave it to her. "If it's not enough, ask me for more." After saying that, he stomped his feet and walked to the front again.
GongYimo looked at his back and thought it was strange, but she didn't think too much about it. She took the money bag and got into the carriage with a smile.
"Rich again! With so much money, I don't believe you can win it! "
She happily grabbed the tiles, but Xu Yuan and Yu Ziqing looked at each other mysteriously. Yu Ziqing said.
"Don't you think the Crown Prince is strange?"
"A three." GongYimo took the time to reply. "How is it strange?" She clearly didn't care.
Xu Yuan nodded seriously. "A nine … is very strange. You know, if it was in the past, he would definitely scold us if he saw you hanging out with us and gambling." Scold them, not GongYimo.
"Eh? Is that so? "
GongYimo's eyes lit up. She hurriedly stopped playing and excitedly gossiped with them.
"How is it not so?" Xu Yuan continued to analyze. "In the past, the Crown Prince protected you like you were the apple of his eye. Others couldn't even look at you. Now, it seems like he's letting you do whatever you want."
Hearing him say this, GongYimo rubbed her chin and asked in surprise, "So, I've fallen out of favor?"
Li Ke had been reading in the corner. Seeing that they were getting more and more excited, he couldn't help but sigh. "Princess, don't think this matter is getting out of hand. How can the Crown Prince not care about you?"
However, Xu Yuan wasn't convinced. "The truth is the truth …"
GongYimo shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Alright, alright. Let's not talk about this nonsense. I'm tired from playing cards. Let's talk about business!"
The moment she talked about business, the few of them gathered around her, looking serious and obedient.
GongYimo said, "For this trip, we'll be going to Star City first. We'll set off from Star City's section of the Yangtze River and head all the way up. We'll check the situation of the former Yulong Inner Canal."
Li Ke thought for a moment. "Most of the Yulong Inner Canal is blocked. Just clearing the lake will take a lot of time and effort."
"So, I need some things …"
GongYimo's eyes flashed and she whispered in everyone's ears. After she finished speaking, they all looked at her strangely.
"What are you looking at?" GongYimo said fiercely. "When we reach the next destination, go and buy them. Remember, the more the better!"
Little Fatty stretched out his hand. "Buy things? Where's the money?"
GongYimo smiled evilly. "The money … Didn't you guys win it just now?"
Seeing that the youths were not convinced, GongYimo glared at them fiercely.
"Stop bargaining. Otherwise, my methods … Hmph … I'm sure you won't want to try them."
Just like that, the convoy traveled along the intermittent flow of the river, checking the data along the way. By the time they reached Star City, it was already a month later.
The governor of Star City had received the news early in the morning and came out to welcome them from afar. As for the group of people who were weary from the long journey, other than Gong Che who stayed behind to support them, everyone else rushed to the guest rooms to rest.
The next day, GongYimo woke up bright and early.
She first ordered people to move all the things they bought along the way to her courtyard. Then, she locked the door and started working!
As for how to quickly clear the river … GongYimo couldn't make something like an excavator. Hence, she could only use the simplest and most violent method, which was to blow it up!
At this moment, Gong Che was discussing official matters with the governor.
"This section of the Jade Dragon Canal in Star City is tens of kilometers long. The raised riverbed will cause many blockages. Hence, this Prince wants to recruit laborers to widen the river."
The governor's small eyes flashed. "Since Your Highness said that you are following orders, why don't you just put up a notice to recruit laborers?" One must know that laborers didn't have to pay, but laborers had to pay. Moreover, laborers had to work for each family. Laborers were different. In his opinion, when it came to widening the river, without hundreds of thousands of laborers, how long would it take to complete the task?
Gong Che smiled. "There's no need for so many people. I only want strong and healthy people. Moreover, this Prince will pay. Everyone will be paid twenty copper coins for half a day."
The governor was shocked!
Twenty copper coins was already quite a lot. Ordinary people could only earn ten to twenty copper coins a day, much less half a day?
It seemed that the Emperor had allocated quite a lot of money this time …
His small eyes rolled around.
