120, one is a demon and the other is angry
"Miss Gu, our family still has questions." Eunuch Shao looked puzzled, "Yushengju can be used as a water tower because of its geographical advantages. There is a hill behind its house, but there is no hill behind other houses. Introduce it into this giant tank? Could it be that people are used to lift water?"
I have to say that Eunuch Shao's question was very sharp, and he immediately brought up the point.
Everyone is also suspicious.
Gu Qianxue smiled and said, "Naturally, a water tower cannot supply only one family. If the water tower is large enough to connect pipes to thousands of households, then every household can use tap water." If that is the case, she still has to study What about the water meter
Gu Qianxue talked eloquently, but the craftsmen didn't take it seriously. After all, the capital city is still very large. It was said that in a few years, even decades, it would not be so crowded that every household had to build an attic. This water tower... also It's just a novelty, with little practical use.
Finally, King Li, who had been silent all this time, said, "Even if the land in central Beijing is tense, what does it have to do with you?"
"..." Gu Qianxue.
Everyone felt ashamed, and the prince was even sharper.
Li Wang said a short sentence, but there are many subtexts—
Gu Qianxue is not an official in the court, sharing worries for the emperor, and making suggestions for Nanyue's future; she is not a princess or princess of a country, she loves the people like a son, and worries about the world's worries.
When it comes to land use in the capital city in the future, if it sounds good, it is the spirit of foresight and the awareness of selfless dedication to benefit mankind;
To capture a thief, capture the king first, and to kill a murderer, kill the heart first!
Gu Qianxue was so angry that she trembled all over. She really felt that she had seen a ghost and traveled to Nanyue country, and even more so, she had seen a ghost and met this Gong Lingyu. This guy not only tortured her physically, but now began to attack her mentally.
But what can she do
In the end, Gu Qianxue gritted her teeth, "I take back the third reason. The land in the capital really has nothing to do with me. The first reason is also treated as if I didn't say it. Anyway, His Royal Highness Li Wang has too much money, and I am not naive enough to do it for His Royal Highness." Increase income and reduce expenditure. The second reason is reasonable, right? Getting tap water is convenient for me.”
Everyone was worried, this is what Ms. Gu dared to say, if they had changed... they would have to kneel down and beg Li Wang to forgive their sins.
But to everyone's surprise, even though Gu Qianxue's words were not polite, Li Wang, who is usually violent, did not pursue her. He just glanced at her indifferently, then turned and left.
After a while, when King Li left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put that heart back into their stomachs.
Not only worried about Gu Qianxue, but also worried about herself. Because of King Li's behavior, if he is really angry, he is afraid that craftsmen like them will be buried with him.
"Miss Gu, it was really thrilling just now." A craftsman said.
"Yes, yes, you are still young and don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. Do you know the methods of the prince? Although you are a lady of the Minister of Rites, the prince has a lot of ways to make your life worse than death." Another craftsman said.
"Yes, don't say that life is better than death, even if the prince directly wants your life, and then arranges any crimes, Lord Minister of Rites can't say anything." Another enthusiastic craftsman.
Gu Qianxue was in a depressed mood, but was suddenly amused by these honest and enthusiastic craftsmen. She pointed at the silent Jun An beside her, "I said, uncles, brother Jun is still here, and you are talking about King Li behind your back like this. , aren't you afraid that little brother Jun will gossip?"
All the craftsmen's attention was on King Li, who still remembered Jun'an, and the atmosphere became awkwardly stalemate again, and everyone stared at Jun'an in fear.
Jun An was embarrassed by being stared at, and he scolded Gu Qianxue thousands of times in his heart, "Don't worry, everyone, I won't tell the prince about such innocuous matters." What else can he say when Gu Qianxue treats him so well?
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Qianxue shrugged, not intending to scare everyone. After all, she was not a guest of King Li. Gifts are given to everyone to express our gratitude." As he spoke, he nodded to Yulian who was beside him.
Yulian immediately took out the purse she had prepared earlier, and gave one to each of the craftsmen and the six assistants in Yushengju.
There were twenty taels of silver in the purse, which was quite a windfall for the craftsmen.
Everyone thanked Gu Qianxue thousands of times, and even swore that if Ms. Gu had any plans later, they would definitely work hard to complete them.
the other side.
Eunuch Shao accompanied King Li back to the study. I don't know if it was a hallucination. Eunuch Shao always felt that the prince was in a good mood recently. Although the prince showed it, the aura around him was not deceiving.
Moreover, when Li Wang came back from Yushengju, his serious face seemed to have a hint of a smile no matter how he looked at it.
How long has it been since the prince smiled? It seems that since Concubine Qin's concubine fell ill, the prince has never really laughed from the bottom of his heart.
The more Eunuch Shao thought about it, the happier he became, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart—the Guanyin who rescued the suffering, and Miss Gu who rejuvenated with wonderful hands, no matter who of you manifests the spirit, please bless your mother to recover soon.
King Li went back to work, and the closer the departure day was, the more he needed to prepare, and the more work he needed to prepare in advance. A large amount of information came together like snowflakes. Although the staff of the palace had classified and analyzed the many materials early on, King Li was an extremely rigorous person, and he seldom trusted others. He still went through all the information himself.
In a flash, it was evening, and the setting sun was seen again.
King Li closed the file, reached out and rubbed his sore eye sockets, "Come here."
Eunuch Shao came in immediately, "My lord, the servant is here."
King Li slowly opened his eyes, his cold eyes were a little tired. "Put away the iron wheel from the installation of the water tower today, it will be useful in the future."
Eunuch Shao's face froze, "Go back to your lord, that... Tie Lun was taken away by Miss Gu."
King Li was taken aback for a moment, and the slender fingers that had just picked up the tea bowl stopped, "What are you talking about? She dares to steal things from the palace?"
Eunuch Shao looked ugly and said, "That's right. Miss Gu made a special statement before leaving. If the prince asked about the iron wheel, he would answer that the prince has a lot of money. He has money to hire craftsmen and buy people. Gu Qianxue dare not help the prince to increase income and reduce expenditure. She …”
With a crisp sound, Li Wang Shengsheng crushed the tea bowl, the tea overflowed and wet the dossier. "I ignored her for a few days, and I became more courageous."
Eunuch Shao hurriedly appeased, "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down, the blueprint of the iron wheel is still in the service department, the servant will explain it to you, let the blacksmith work overtime to make it, and make sure to make it before the Lord leaves, and prepare a few more copies!" "I was crying in my heart - little aunt, is it true that the prince hasn't hit her for a few days, this little aunt is skin tight
But King Li snorted coldly, "No need, I want the one in her hands."
Eunuch Shao is about to cry, what day is it today, the little aunt is acting like a monster, why even the prince... has learned to be angry
