She asked Mo Chuan.
Mo Chuan frowned and thought for a while before replying: "I guess it's because their ancestors have been used to a life of migration. They are used to living in tents. They are not used to living in built houses. As for bridges? It's because they lack A craftsman who is good at building bridges?”
"Of course not!" She shook her head.
"What's the reason for that?"
"The reason is very simple, because the main land in the Eastern Qin State is grassland, and the soil is very loose, which is especially suitable for plant production. However, this kind of soil cannot be used to build houses, because under the surface vegetation, there is a layer of mud and sand, which cannot be built at all. Lay a solid foundation. If the foundation is unstable, the built house will collapse soon. This is why the Eastern Qin Kingdom has always lived in tents, and there is no bridge in the entire country's rivers. It's not that they don't want to live there! It’s not that they lack the craftsmen to build bridges in stable and solid houses, it’s that they simply can’t do it!”
What Shen Ning said was easy to understand, and Mo Chuan understood it as soon as he heard it. But what he didn't understand was how she knew it so clearly.
What layer of mud and sand, what kind of unstable foundation makes it impossible to build a house... It's clear and logical!
Even he, the well-read emperor, didn't know as much as she did.
"Then the drawing you drew for him is how to solve the problem of the mud and stone layer so that they can build strong houses and strong bridges?" he asked.
"Yes! I have read books about Eastern Qin and learned that their land has such disadvantages. It is actually very hard for their ancestors to live in migratory tents for generations. The winter wind is biting and the summer is extremely hot. They They also want to live in tall and spacious houses like us in Xichu, but they can't do it. The houses they build will collapse in less than a month, and it is extremely inconvenient to have no bridges, so Namtso saw my drawings. , he felt like he had found a treasure, because he was a man with great talent and strategy, who allowed hundreds of thousands of Eastern Qin people to live in comfortable and strong houses, and built bridges on every river in Eastern Qin. This was his My long-held wish! Compared with his wish, I am just a woman, so what is it? Mo Chuan, if you were Namtso, what would you choose? "
Her voice was clear and her eyes were clear and bright as she looked at him.
Mo Chuan replied without hesitation: "Of course I choose you!"
Huh! His answer was beyond Shen Ning's expectation.
Mo Chuan hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "We in Xichu have solid houses and bridges, so of course I want you. Namco thought that the blueprint was a treasure, so he chose the blueprint over you. He is known as the smartest person, but in my opinion, he is still not smart enough.”
"Why?" Shen Ning looked at him.
"If I were him, I would choose you. With you, are you still worried about not having the drawings?"
She shook her head and said seriously: "Because I told him that if he chooses me, I will marry him, but he will never get this drawing from me. I do what I say, and Namtso is a smart man. He won’t make the wrong choice.”
Mo Chuan took a breath: "If he chooses you, do you really want to marry him?" The muscles on his jaw tightened unconsciously.
"Yes, I can, but I am confident that he will never choose me." Shen Ning smiled and poked his tense face, "I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of!"
