Although he has not known Jiang Li for a long time, Zheng Yu's impression of Jiang Li has always been that he is smart, sensible, well-behaved, and caring. In short, all good adjectives can be placed on Jiang Li.
However, today he discovered that Jiang Li is not only a little devil, but also a master of business! From Jiang Li's direction, he must have seen Xiao Qiheng coming early in the morning, but he pretended not to know to lure himself into the pit, it couldn't be worse.
Thinking that I wanted to bring someone home just for a bowl of noodles, I was desperate.
Seeing Xiao Qiheng's dark face, Zheng Yu confirmed his guess even more, the master and servant are definitely tricky! No wonder he was so angry when he asked Xiao Qiheng for someone important!
"Brother, listen to me..."
Zheng Yu walked towards Xiao Qiheng, but the other party just gave him a cold look, brushed past him, walked up to Jiang Li, took Jiang Li's hand that he held just now, and wiped it twice with a handkerchief.
Zheng Yu: "..."
Zheng Yu had no doubt that if he had water on his hands, he would definitely wash Jiang Li's hands as he did just now.
What Zheng Yu doesn't understand about this naked possessive desire, he really didn't expect that his brother suddenly became a broken sleeve in just a few years, and even the little eunuch around him would not be spared, it is simply amazing .
"Your Highness, someone is here." Jiang Li glanced at Zheng Yu.
Xiao Qiheng didn't even bother to move his eyelids, so he wiped his hands carefully with a handkerchief, and then asked, "Where is someone?"
Zheng Yu: "..." All right, if you say no, there will be no.
There was still business to do on this trip, Xiao Qiheng didn't care too much about Zheng Yu, and took Jiang Li away after wiping his hands clean.
Zheng Yu followed behind them, touched his nose in embarrassment, held his stomach and didn't know who to talk to, the two parties left hand in hand like no one had nothing to do, Zhao Qing was stunned again, and in the end he could only talk to himself Hold back and simmer.
Before Xiao Qiheng came, he sent a letter to Zhu Wentao, ordering him to cooperate with the governments of several states and counties around Jizhou to purchase grain together, and called the local wealthy merchants to open warehouses to release grain at double the market price to alleviate the disaster.
Now that the official bank is in place, everything is on the right track. After nearly ten days of hard work, the disaster has been brought under control.
However, relying on food relief alone will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Jizhou has been suffering from drought all year round. To completely solve the disaster, it must be cured fundamentally.
In the conference hall, Jiang Li listened to their conversation, and tried his best to search for the ancient methods of drought management stored in his mind. Unfortunately, the major he studied in school was far behind this one. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only think of He really didn't know how to implement such methods as dredging the river and building the reservoir.
"Master Host." The system reminded him, "You can check the required information in the system."
"That's right, why did I forget?" Jiang Li suddenly realized, and found an excuse to slip out.
He went to a deserted place, pulled out the game tablet, and checked various books on drought management. After searching, there were quite a few. If he didn't know how to explain the origin of these books, he would have bought a bunch of them for Xiao Qiheng and the others to study.
After flipping through the books for a while, Jiang Li bought something called a water source detector in the mall. He planned to go up the mountain to find the water source tomorrow. If he could find the water source of the dark river, it would be much easier to build underground dams and build reservoirs.
Back in the meeting room, Jiang Li found that Xiao Qiheng and the others also talked about building a reservoir. The tentative plan was to bring the nearest water source to Jizhou to solve the problem of land drought. It's just that in recent years, there have been droughts here every year, and the nearby water sources have been dry. It is necessary to divert water from other places, which is far away, and the project cannot be completed overnight.
After the others went down, Xiao Qiheng pinched his eyebrows, and reached out to drink the tea at hand, but was stopped by Jiang Li.
"The tea is cold." Jiang Li reminded him and replaced him with a cup of hot tea.
Xiao Qiheng didn't drink, but pulled him to sit down on the chair next to him, and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
Because there were other people, Jiang Li didn't take his seat, but stood aside and waited. Although Xiao Qiheng didn't mind, he still insisted.
"Not tired." Jiang Li shook his head and said to him, "Your Highness, I have read in a book that it is said that not all the land under our feet is solid, and some places are underground rivers, except for access to external water sources In addition, can we use the water from these underground rivers to build reservoirs, or divert the water to the fields of the people?"
After hearing his words, Xiao Qiheng's expression changed, but he soon realized that finding the dark river is not easy.
"Your Highness, if you don't worry, leave this matter to me?" Jiang Li suggested.
"Leave it to you?" Xiao Qiheng looked at him, reached out and pinched his face, "What do you want to do?"
"I have a hunch that I can find the dark river." Jiang Li said confidently, "Just like I am sure that I can heal His Highness's legs."
Xiao Qiheng: "..." After obsessing over your legs, you plan to rely on your premonition to find He
As soon as he said it, Jiang Li started his great cause of finding the river the next day. With the cheating magic water source detector in his hand, it only took him a day to find the river hidden under the land.
Of course, when he told the location of the dark river, everyone was skeptical. After all, he was young and didn't seem to have any experience in finding water sources. When he was dug open and the water flow appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone's eyes on him changed.
The construction of dams and reservoirs are major projects, and Xiao Qiheng needs to return to Beijing to report the matter to Emperor Yuan. After dealing with the follow-up work of the disaster, the group of them embarked on the road back to Kyoto.
On the way back, everyone packed lightly and arrived in Kyoto in half the time compared to when we came.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Qiheng returned to Emperor Yuan without even changing his clothes.
During Xiao Qiheng's disaster relief period, all the corruption cases in Jizhou had been investigated. All the officials on the list who involved serious amounts of money were confiscated and sent to prison, and those who were less serious were punished according to the law.
And Xiao Qiyun not only participated in this corruption case, but also sent someone to assassinate Xiao Qiheng. After being ordered to be punished by Emperor Yuan, he was imprisoned in Siguo court.
Siguoting is the prison cell used to imprison the prince who made mistakes in the palace. Once inside, there is almost no chance to come out.
However, this is not over yet. Just two days later, the main building of Qinghe Garden, which was built just last year, suddenly collapsed. The materials used were shoddy, causing problems in the main building within a year.
Because of these things, Emperor Yuan became anxious and became ill, his complexion was gloomy, and he looked much older than before.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Qiheng felt mixed feelings in his heart at first, and finally returned to calm. He reported the situation of Jizhou's disaster relief and the construction of the dam one by one.
Emperor Yuan was very satisfied with the results of his trip, praised him a few words, and agreed to build the dam.
After Xiao Qiheng thanked the people of Jizhou for their kindness, he said a few words of concern before retreating.
As soon as Xiao Qiheng returned to the East Palace, Xiao Qiwen followed him and threw himself in front of him, with a happy expression on his face: "Brother Huang, you are finally back, I have been waiting for you for a long time... Oops!"
He jumped too anxiously, accidentally guessed Jiang Nuomi's toy on the ground, and almost fell down. Xiao Qiheng quickly helped him up: "I'm not a child anymore, why are you still so reckless?"
After Xiao Qiwen stood firm, he chuckled: "I'm so excited to see Brother Huang."
Xiao Qiheng shook his head, stepped into the hall, Xiao Qiwen followed behind him.
Jiang Li was not in the hall, a young eunuch came in and poured tea for the two of them, then retreated.
Xiao Qiwen told Xiao Qiheng what happened on the day when Xiao Qiyun's incident was revealed, and snorted after speaking: "Finally, I don't have to face that trash every day. These years have been too difficult for me."
Xiao Qiheng smiled slightly when he heard the words: "It's really hard for you."
Xiao Qiwen has hated Xiao Qiyun since he was a child, and his mother and concubine have been coughing all the year round because of the private execution of Concubine Ling Guifei.
When Xiao Qiheng was imprisoned in the Qinghe Palace, he went to Qianhe Palace to find Emperor Yuan and begged him to release Xiao Qiheng. The angry Emperor Yuan punished him to kneel outside the palace for most of the night. Because he was cold, he launched an attack the next day. It took three days to lie in bed for a fever.
After Xiao Qiwen recovered from his illness, his mother and concubine told him that it was useless to beg his father and emperor, it would only make him angrier. What he had to do was to be strong, grow up, and do his unfinished business for his prince brother.
He knew that his prince and brother was in trouble, and he wanted to help him, so he sneaked to the Hall of Qinghe at night and told the prince that he would definitely help him.
In the past few years by Xiao Qiyun's side, Xiao Qiwen has seen a lot of the other party's reckless and insane behavior. He always wants to finish the other party with a knife, but he can only bear it before the time comes.
Now everything is going according to plan, just waiting for the last move to send the other party to hell with the Wang family.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qiwen was in a good mood, waved his hands and said: "Brother Huang said this is too out of the ordinary, if you hadn't blocked the knife for me back then, I would have died long ago."
What he was talking about was that when an assassin entered the palace, Xiao Qiheng pushed him away at a critical moment and was stabbed by the assassin.
However, Xiao Qiheng didn't take this seriously, and changed the subject: "How is the Empress Li recently?"
"Concubine Mother is fine." Xiao Qiwen said with a smile, "Thanks to the national teacher for taking care of Concubine Mother, her cough has been cured. Concubine Yao and Concubine Xuan have also taken good care of Concubine Mother."
"That's good." Xiao Qiheng nodded.
"By the way, brother..."
"Boom—"
There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Li pushed the door open, holding a jug of wine in his hand, and said to the two of them: "The peach blossom wine made earlier is ready, bring it for your highness to taste."
When Xiao Qiwen saw him, his eyes lit up, he got up from the stool, and saluted him seriously: "My brother Qiwen, I have seen my sister-in-law."
Jiang Li: "..."
I'll go, does the whole world know that His Highness the Crown Prince and I have broken our sleeves
