Chapter 145: Connecting the North and South within Seven Days (2)
What was even stranger was that others also praised in the short span of a year, Gong Yi Mo had already created too many miracles. Most of them were people that received her favor and truly thought that that little girl was extraordinary!
When Li Jianzhan heard them say this, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Yes, we were confused. How could there be anything she can’t do?”
After saying that, discussions rang up. They even mentioned Gong Yi Mo’s previous identity including how she rose from the cold palace to a favored princess, how she cared for the people, and how she was plotted against by others. They stated everything one by one. When they finished, even he couldn’t help but praise this girl. Young as she is, she’s acplished quite a bit.
Someone cried out, “So she is the Chaoyang Princess?!”
Seeing the others stare at him, he embarrassedly touched his head, “It was that little brat from the An family that said so. He’s still in school, but he used to talk about the Chaoyang Princess’ happenings saying that if it wasn’t for her improving papermaking and printing technology, books wouldn’t be so cheap. This is the only reason why peasants are able to study… So with this said, she’s a saint-like person!”
In this era, studying is a very honorable thing for moners. However, since paper is expensive and printing was difficult, many people could only wish from afar.
But due to Gong Yi Mo’s actions, the threshold for studying was lowered so poor people were able to have their children enter into a school.
Many people lamented, ‘Why is such a kind and clever girl who cares for others disliked by the Emperor?’
So while Gong Yi Mo was kept in the dark, her reputation spread far and wide.
Furthermore, the fact that she invented a water purification system was also dug out and brought to light. In the past, most people used well water or river water; even though there wasn’t much pollution, it couldn’t be very clean either. Even if there were dead rats or fish, they drank all the water regardless.
But ever since a water purification system was put in place, fewer people got sick from drinking water. Since its principle was quite simple, the system was implemented in several villages.
Some wealthier cities added some water and sewer pipes, and one needs not mention how much cleaner and more convenient it was.
Some people that came back from the West also talked about how the well construction was also the Chaoyang Princess’ idea. When it was pleted, the West no longer needed to suffer from droughts.
Not to mention the idea of the canal also came from the Chaoyang Princess! Once it was plete, it would assist trade between the North and South, solve the problem of water and transport, and also help the mon people. It couldn’t be better.
The Princess also wanted to push the waterways inland. You must be aware that many places inland still needed to buy water to drink. If this truly es true and the world’s waterways are all connected, then the people would never need to suffer from water again. They can even save themselves from natural disasters! Also, with facilitated trade between the North and South, people can also take care of themselves.
Wait wait wait…
This Chaoyang Princess is intelligent, resourceful, and broad-minded. She can conquer the world even as a woman!
In the capital, she could be said to be the jewel of many young men’s hearts! Furthermore, she was only 13 years old.
A woman who can seriously be a match for men!
The hero is still a youngster!
There are actually people who dislike such an unique girl?!
