Mo Chuan didn't name Xia Yuyan by name, and he didn't point Xia Yuyan's nose to reprimand her, but she felt that her face was burning, as if someone had been whipped with a whip, which made her feel ashamed.
She reflected on herself that she had read as many as eight thousand books, if not ten thousand, but they were all poems and songs. As for books with other contents, she didn't even bother to take a second look at them.
She had also read about the floods, droughts and the miserable lives of the people mentioned by the emperor in some poems, but she had always passed them by, never read them carefully, and had not even the slightest understanding.
She always thought that she was so talented that even the poems written by famous scholars could not compare with her.
Now she realizes that she is just a frog in the well. She still has too much to learn. It doesn't mean she can be called a talented woman just by being able to write a few poems. Her talents and virtues... are not worthy of being the queen of a country!
Like Xia Yuyan, there were many girls who realized their shortcomings, and they all quietly retreated in unison.
In this way, one person stands out.
The girl in green was frowning in thought, and didn't notice that the girls around her quietly stepped back. She stood alone in front of everyone, very abrupt.
"Oh, this girl came forward. Could it be that she thought of some good idea?"
Queen Mother Zhou glanced over and landed on the face of the girl in green, her eyes filled with earnestness.
Because she could see that all the other girls had retreated, and only the girl in green was thinking intently.
"Back to the Queen Mother, I did think of a few ideas, but I don't know if they will work." The girl in green raised her head, not looking at Mo Chuan, but at Queen Mother Zhou.
"Please tell me and listen." Queen Mother Zhou's eyes lit up.
The girls behind the girl in green took a breath of air and stared at the girl's back with disbelieving eyes, full of dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Humph, you know how to brag! There are so many of us who can't even think of a single solution, but you have come up with several solutions by yourself. What a liar!
Just wait for the Emperor and the Queen Mother to pierce your skin and punish you severely.
The girl in green clothes spoke unhurriedly: "The Weihe River is the largest and longest river in Western Chu. It runs through the entire Guannan land and is the main source of drinking water and irrigation for the local people. Many people call this river The Wei River is the "Mother River", but this mother river has a big hidden danger. It breaks its banks almost every year. As long as the Wei River breaks its banks, villages and people within a hundred miles will suffer, so we must solve the problem. For floods in the south, we must first control the Wei River and solve the problem of this mother river bursting its banks every year, and the floods will naturally be solved.”
What she said was easy to understand and clear, and even the Empress Dowager Zhou, Su Jin and the girls who only knew how to recite poems and compose poems understood it.
It turns out that this is how floods are caused.
Everyone looked at the girl in green with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Mo Chuan didn't even look at the girl in green. He said with a cold expression: "It's easy to say, how to manage the Wei River? The imperial court sends officials to control the river every year, but the control becomes worse and worse. In the past, the three rivers in the Wei River were The dikes were broken once a year, and now it has become once a year. If it continues, it may become once every six months or once every three months. Will the people still be able to live their lives? "
