It turned out to be quite pleasing to Mo Yu's eyes.
Guan Shaoqi also looked at Mo Yu.
The two looked at each other and Guan Shaoqi smiled slightly. Even though he knew that the person in front of him was the Marquis, he was not so scared that his legs went weak. He was very respectful to Mo Yu and at the same time did not appear to be humble, as if the two were standing on the same horizon.
"I am here to see you, sir. I heard that a new imperial envoy has come to Chuzhou. He is fair and honest. He dealt with the prefect of Chuzhou right after he arrived. I couldn't bear to see the people of Chuzhou suffer. After learning about this, I took the initiative to bring food to support you. I hope you will accept it."
When Mo Yu heard Guan Shaoqi say this, his first reaction was that there is no such thing as a free lunch, but this batch of grain is enough for Chuzhou to use for a month.
Mo Yu glanced at Goro, who nodded imperceptibly.
It seems that there is no problem with food.
Mo Yu then smiled and said, "Well, Chuzhou is in trouble now, so I won't be polite to you. I would like to thank you on behalf of the thousands of disaster victims in Chuzhou."
Guan Shaoqi bowed and said, "Your Excellency, there is no need to thank me. I heard that after you came to Chuzhou, you cleaned up the corrupt officials in Chuzhou. This is a good thing. For this reason, for you and for the disaster victims here, as a citizen of Tianyu, I naturally have to do my part."
Mo Yu smiled but said nothing. It was just superficial words and he would not take them seriously.
Guan Shaoqi also breathed a sigh of relief and just accepted it.
No one present was a fool, so Mo Yu asked the kitchen to prepare wine in the evening.
Mo Yu: "Master Guan, please take a seat."
Guan Shaoqi pushed and shoved for a while before sitting down: "Okay."
After three rounds of drinking, both of them were a little drunk.
Mo Yu's mind was still clear. He didn't expect that Guan Shaoqi was so proficient in business matters. He could probably guess that he was a businessman.
Mo Yu chuckled: "Master Guan, thank you for this matter. If it weren't for the food you contributed, I don't know how much of a headache I would have had."
Guan Shaoqi immediately bowed in return: "This is what ordinary people should do."
Mo Yu didn't say anything more afterwards.
After this night's contact, I had a little understanding of Guan Shaoqi. Guan Shaoqi was smart enough to know when to stop.
Guan Shaoqi remembered his purpose and couldn't help but clench his hands tightly.
After all, there is no kindness without reason in the world, there is always something behind it.
Mo Yu did not chase Guan Shaoqi away, so Guan Shaoqi stayed by Mo Yu's side and did what he could.
Digging a canal is easy to say, but it is not that easy to do in reality. There are enough people, but without people who are proficient in agriculture, it will be impossible to do it.
Gong Wenmin led the people there with great interest, but they were all dumbfounded.
I don't know where to start.
Gong Wenmin quickly asked Mo Yu: "My Lord, where should we start?"
Mo Yu just raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I give this matter to you? Why are you asking me?"
What he meant was that he didn't understand either.
Yes, Mo Yu has never been exposed to these things, so how can he know what to do
So, two days had passed and there was no progress at all.
There is no time even for conscripting young men.
Guan Shaoqi was very sensible and would never stop knowing things that he shouldn't know. He learned the news a little later than others and saw that many people were sitting on the ground.
I went over to find out the reason.
Guan Shaoqi's heart moved. Isn't this an opportunity now
At this time, Mo Yu stayed in the temporary study again, looking at the direction of the water flow, feeling a little headache. He really didn't understand these things.
Boom boom boom.
Mo Yu sighed in his heart: "Come in!"
Guan Shaoqi walked in.
"My Lord, have you made up your mind?"
Mo Yu's eyes gleamed, and he said distressedly: "No, I am not good at these at all."
Not to mention that I'm not good at it, I don't even know how to start.
Guan Shaoqi bowed and said respectfully: "My Lord, I want to recommend myself. I often travel around and have a certain understanding of the hardness of the land and related aspects."
Mo Yu's already gentle expression deepened, and without the slightest hesitation, "Then I'll leave this matter to you!"
Guan Shaoqi looked at Mo Yu in a daze. He thought it would take a long time for Mo Yu to hand this matter over to him, but he didn't expect that he would hand this matter over to him just by saying a few words.
It was totally beyond his expectations.
In fact, Mo Yu didn't just hand it over to anyone at random.
Mo Yu had a certain degree of understanding about Guan Shaoqi. If he was not sure, he would not have taken on this matter.
Mo Yu felt relaxed for the next period of time. He didn't have to do anything. When he had nothing to do, he would check on the progress of the channel digging, chat with the people, and implicitly say that this was the achievement of the current emperor.
Gradually, the people of Chuzhou felt grateful to the emperor.
Mo Yu's mood became brighter.
Busy times always pass quickly and efficiency is also very high. In just one month, the digging was almost completed and the flood that flooded the fields slowly subsided.
Mo Yu looked at Guan Shaoqi, who had become noticeably thinner after a month of hard work, and praised him, "Shaoqi, you did a great job."
During this period of time, the relationship between the two gradually became like that of friends, and Mo Yu called Guan Shaoqi's name affectionately.
Now that everything is on track, and there is not much time left before the imperial examination, he called Gong Wenmin and said, "Sir, I have asked the emperor for permission to send another official to handle the next matter."
Gong Wenmin was a little surprised after hearing this, and asked anxiously: "Why would the Marquis suddenly want to return to the capital?"
Mo Yu chuckled, "I didn't come back to the capital suddenly. I already knew it in my heart. I'm really not good at this. Now that the disaster has been brought under control, my duty is done."
If he doesn't let others take over, he will be the one in trouble.
The next tasks included repairing the dams destroyed by the floods, as well as post-disaster reconstruction and farmland. These were not things he could do. Besides, the imperial examination would begin soon.
There is no time to delay now.
Gong Wenmin had been in the imperial court for so many years that he naturally understood the key point. He only said worriedly, "Please be careful when you return to the capital, my Lord."
After being together for so long, Gong Wenmin's heart finally leans towards Mo Yu.
Mo Yu chuckled in his heart. When Gong Wenmin returns to Beijing after dealing with the flood, it will be of great benefit to the emperor's party.
He was looking forward to the exciting scene when Gong Wenmin returned to Beijing.
Gong Wenmin didn't need to make any arrangements for other aspects. Even if he was not there, given Gong Wenmin's personality, he would definitely repair the dam well.
