Tan Tuo knew about the water-sucking dragon, and was very happy: "Wang Hao, Lord Ruojiang's statement is true, it is a great thing for the people." What the Northwest lacks most is water. If there is this suction dragon, it can be used to extract the water from the Yellow River.
Yuxi gave the book written by Jiang Hongfu to Tan Tuo and said, "Although the book still needs further improvement, it is generally not a problem." There are still some flaws, and Jiang Hongfu wants to be more beautiful.
After Tan Tuo finished reading it, a smile appeared on his face: "According to Mr. Jiang, you will be able to use this water absorbing dragon in the spring of next year." There will be a drought next year, and this thing can alleviate part of the drought.
Yuxi nodded.
Tan Tuo suddenly said with a serious face: "Princess, we must protect the water dragon. If this thing is known to others, it will definitely be stolen by all means." Not only the northwest is short of water, but many other places are also short of water. Some places are even worse than the northwest. severe.
Yuxi hadn't thought about this problem, and now he was reminded by Tan Tuo and fell into deep thought. After thinking about it, Yuxi said: "This thing is a good thing for the people, and if it can be promoted, it is also a good thing to do. It's just that the cost of this thing is too high, even if someone gets the drawing, it may not be made."
Tan Tuo was taken aback, then bowed to Yuxi, and said: "The princess is righteous." He only thought about keeping this thing secret, but he didn't expect that the princess wanted to promote this thing. He is broader.
Yuxi didn't expect Tan Tuo to bow to him, but couldn't avoid it: "It's just an object, why is it worth yours?" Just like a potato, Yuxi knew that Yan Wushuang and Yu Chunhao were paying attention to this matter. However, she did not hide the potato planting methods and precautions, but rather generously disclosed them. Without him, these things can benefit more people in the future. In addition, this thing can't be concealed for long, and it is simply made public.
Tan Tuo smiled bitterly: "It's not an exaggeration to say that such a thing is a baby. Whoever has it is not hiding it, and only the princess is for the sake of the world."
Yuxi felt that the hat Tan Tuo put on her was getting higher and higher, and she couldn't hold it anymore. Yuxi hurriedly changed the subject and talked about the water canal. Yuxi meant that the construction of the aqueduct was still suspended, and he would wait until next year. If there is a serious drought next year, the construction of this canal will not be of great use.
Tan Tuo has no objection.
It was also in the afternoon of this day that Han Jianming, who went to Wucheng for disaster relief, returned. Seeing Han Jianming, Yuxi was shocked: "Brother, why are you so thin?" This is only two months, and Han Jianming has lost a lot of weight. The government officials looked so big on him.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "I'll be back with a supplement." In the eyes of outsiders, Han Jianming was the elder brother of Princess Pingxi, and this label has never been removed. This time, Han Jianli did his best to rescue the disaster, let Wucheng officials know that he not only has real talents, but also practical ability. During this trip to Wucheng, Han Jianming got the sincere friendship of many people, so he gained a lot from this disaster relief.
Yuxi disagreed with these words: "Brother, errands are important, but health is more important. Once you are injured, you can't make up for it no matter how. Brother, if you collapse, the Han family will collapse." Yu Hee knew that Han Jianming had always wanted to prove that he was competent for his current position, instead of letting people think that she was able to get a high position. Yuxi was also willing to give Han Jianming an opportunity like this, but only if he couldn't exchange it with his body. And if the Han family didn't have Han Jianming, it would be really hard to afford it.
Han Jianming knew that if Yuxi hadn't been sincere for him, he wouldn't say such a thing. Han Jianming smiled and said, "Only this time, there will be no next time."
Yuxi said: "If there is another time, don't blame me for being public and private." This means that if there is another time, Han Jianming will not be assigned to the errands.
Han Jianming smiled, and then talked to Yuxi about the disaster relief work in Wucheng. There were no major problems in this disaster relief, but minor problems continued. For example, the grains for the victims were mixed with some old grains that gave birth to rice worms, the clothes for the victims were tattered, and the place where they lived was too simple to leak water. Once these things are discovered, Han Jianming will deal with the person in charge as soon as possible, and then do his best to help solve these problems.
Yuxi listened very carefully, and asked a few words from time to time. This said that the sun had set.
Han Jianming said: "When I came back, the victims were all properly settled, and they were already preparing to plant potatoes and soybeans." The potatoes and soybean seeds that the victims got from the government were provided free of charge by the government without repayment.
Yuxi smiled and said good: "It's too late now, brother, let's go back after dinner!" There was no experience in dealing with disasters before, and Yuxi also learned a lot from this time.
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "I have been away from home for two months, so let's go home first!" The main reason is to be close. If he is far away, he must have dinner in the palace.
After dinner, Yuxi told Liuer that she would make her walk around the garden every morning and evening: "Liu'er, your health is too poor. You only need to walk around every day to get better. You won’t always get sick."
This was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day to Liu Er. After returning to his senses, Liu Er said hurriedly: "Mother, I am in good health. This time I will only get sick if I am not careful. Mother, don't let me walk in circles. "She can't walk when she is tired from walking.
Yuxi made up her mind this time: "Your sister can only drink a bowl of ginger soup if she is cold. It takes five or six days for you to take medicine if you are cold. Liuer, you don’t want to learn to fight with your mother. You, but it’s not tiring to walk around the garden every day. This time my mother will not allow you to escape.” Before taking the Ganoderma lucidum medicine, Liuer fell ill, and it took more than half a month to take care of Mother Lan and Grandma. That's good.
Because of Liu'er's poor health, Yuxi has inevitably been more loving and conniving towards Liu'er in recent years. But since Qihao was born, Yuxi found out that their love and connivance for Liuer had harmed the child. Fortunately, the discovery is timely, as long as the cruel heart can correct it.
Liu Er's tears came out: "Mother, I don't want to go around in circles, mother, I can't walk." While crying, she looked at Yun Qing.
Yun Qing couldn't stand Liu'er the most, but he promised Yuxi not to interfere. Right now he stood up and said to Yuxi, "I'll talk to Xu Wu about something." After saying that he strode out, he was afraid that he would surrender again later.
Yuxi was amused and angry when he saw this, Yun Qing was really skillful at being the shopkeeper. Yuxi said with a stern face to Liu'er, "From tomorrow, I will start walking at the end of the morning at the end of the morning, and I will start walking after dinner for a quarter of an hour. When you get better, you won’t always get sick, so you don’t have to go. "I have been walking for two or three years, and I will go without being reminded."
"Wow..." Liuer couldn't help but burst into tears. When Liu Er cried, Qi Hao also started crying with fright. Qi Hao cried loudly, and soon suppressed Liu'er's cries, making Yuxi dumbfounded.
Zaozao is already sensible, knowing that Yuxi is doing this for Liu'er's sake. Zaozao walked to Liu'er and took Liu'er's hand and said: "Sister, every time I see you drinking that bitter medicine, I look so worried. Sister, if you are willing, I will be with me from tomorrow. You go together." If you can't practice in the morning, you can make it up that night. Grandpa won't blame her if he wants to come.
When Liu Er saw this, she knew that she couldn't change it, and she cried even more sadly.
Five days later, the court received an official letter from the northwest. Yan Wushuang looked very complicated after reading this official letter.
Because this matter was so special, all the ministers in high positions were waiting by the side. I want to know what the official letter says.
Taining Hou took the lead to speak: "Master, what does this official letter say?" The Northwest has a hostile relationship with the court, and the official letter sent by King Pingxi will certainly not be a good thing.
Yan Wushuang put down the official letter and said, "This official letter says three things in total. The first thing is that a craftsman in the northwest invented something called a water-absorbing dragon, which can draw water from low places to high places. For one hundred thousand taels of silver, they will give us the drawing of this thing."
As soon as these words fell, the assistant minister Zuo said in a loud voice, "Master, you can't believe this. If there is such a thing, how could King Pingxi sell it to us?" Hide it. If others want it, wait slowly!
Yan Wushuang looked at Jiang Wenrui and said, "The official letter stated that this water-absorbing dragon was invented by a craftsman invited by Lord Jiang. I wonder if Lord Jiang knew about this?"
Jiang Wenrui nodded and said: "Yes. For this reason, he also invited a few skilled craftsmen from Jiangnan to go to the northwest to study this thing. But I don't think his idea can be realized, so I didn't pay attention."
Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "Since King Pingxi can say this in an official letter, it shows that this thing is true." You can't deny it.
The official secretary said: "If you really have this thing, it would be worth buying one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Yan Wushuang did not answer this, but continued: "The second thing, a few years old farmers said that there might be a drought in the northwest next year, Pingxi Wang believed the words of a few old farmers, this year let the people all plant high-yield potato. ."
Master Lu Er frowned and said, “It’s too trivial to let the entire Northwest grow potatoes based on the words of a few old farmers?" The Northwest all grow potatoes, and the senior officials in Beijing naturally know about such a big thing. I thought it was planted because of the high yield of potato, but I didn't expect it to be such an absurd reason.
Tai Ninghou was the most calm and asked, "Master, what is the third thing to say?"
A touch of light appeared on Yan Wushuang’s face and said, “If potato is planted in a large area, it is easy to cause pests, but if it is planted with soybeans or radishes, the probability of pests will be much smaller. In addition, there are also cultivated seeds and planting of potatos. Methods."
Taining Hou asked: "Are there any frauds?"
The assistant minister said with certainty: "There must be a conspiracy." Thinking about it, it is impossible. King Pingxi is not stupid, so how could he tell the court about their northwest secrets.
Hubu Shangshu thought for a while and said: "We can use their methods to test it. If it works as they say, it is true. If it is useless, it is false."
Yan Wushuang said blankly, "What's said above is true." He asked a few people to inquire about the method of planting potato, but Han Yuxi advertised this method, which made Yan Wushuang feel very embarrassed. Bend.
As soon as these words fell, the chamber was so quiet that even the soft sway of the trees outside could be heard.
