Tan Tuo knew about the water absorbing dragon, and he was also very happy: "Princess, if what Lord Jiang said is true, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the people." "What is most lacking in the Northwest is water. If there is this water suction dragon, then it can be used to pump the water of the Yellow River.

Yuxi gave Tan Tuo the excerpt written by Jiang Hongfu and said: "Although the excerpt says that it needs to be further improved, it is generally no problem. "There are still some flaws, Jiang Hongfu wants to be perfect.

After Tan Tuo finished reading it, a smile appeared on his face: "According to what Master Jiang said, you will be able to use this water absorbing dragon in the spring next year." "There will be a drought next year, and with this thing we can alleviate some of the drought.

Yuxi nodded.

Tan Tuo suddenly said: "Princess, we must protect the water absorbing dragon." If this thing were known to others, they would definitely do everything possible to steal it. "Not only is there a shortage of water in the northwest, but there is also a shortage of water in many other places, and some places are even worse than the northwest.

Yuxi hadn't thought about this problem, and now he was reminded by Tan Tuo and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, Yuxi said: "This thing is a good thing for the people, and if it can be promoted, it is also a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good." It's just that the cost of this thing is too high, and even if someone gets the drawings, they may not be able to make it. ”

Tan Tuo was stunned for a moment, then bowed to Yuxi instead, and said in a loud voice: "The princess is righteous." He only thought that this thing should be kept secret, but he didn't expect the princess to want to promote this thing, and I have to say that the princess is more broad-minded than him.

Yuxi didn't expect Tan Tuo to bow to him, so he couldn't avoid it: "It's just an object, how can it be worth you like this?" Just like an artichoke, Yuxi already knew that Yan Wushuang and Yu Chunhao had paid attention to this matter. But she didn't hide the planting method and precautions of the artichoke, but made it public very generously. Without him, these things can benefit more people when they are made public. In addition, this thing can't be hidden for long, so it is simply made public.

Tan Tuo smiled bitterly and said: "It's not an exaggeration to say that such a thing is a treasure, whoever has it is not hidden and pinched, and only the princess is so righteous for the sake of the common people in the world." ”

Yuxi felt that the hat Tan Tuo was wearing for her was getting higher and higher, and she couldn't bear it. Yuxi hurriedly changed the topic and talked about the canal. Yuxi meant that the construction of the canal was still suspended, and it would be said after next year. If there is a major drought next year, the construction of this canal will not be of great use.

Tan Tuo has no objection.

Also in the afternoon of this day, Han Jianming, who went to Wucheng for disaster relief, came back. Seeing Han Jianming, Yuxi was taken aback: "Brother, why have you lost weight like this?" It's only been two months, and Han Jianming has lost a lot of weight. The government wore it on him, and it looked so big.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "I'll be back if I make up for it." "In the eyes of outsiders before, Han Jianming was the elder brother of Princess Pingxi, and this label has never been taken off. This time, Han Jianjian did his best to provide disaster relief, so that the officials of Wucheng knew that he was not only really talented but also down-to-earth and capable. During this trip to Wucheng, Han Jianming got the sincere fellowship of many people, so he gained a lot from this disaster relief.

Yuxi disagreed: "Brother, errands are important, but the body is more important." Once the root injury is broken, no matter how much you make up for it, you can't make it back. Brother, if you collapse, the Han family will also collapse. Yuxi knew that Han Jianming had always wanted to prove that he was capable of his current position, and not to make people think that he had obtained a high position because of her. Yuxi is also willing to give Han Jianming such a chance, but the premise is that he can't exchange his body. And if the Han family doesn't have Han Jianming, it will really be difficult to get up.

Han Jianming knew that Yuxi would not say such a thing if he wasn't sincere for him. Han Jianming said with a smile: "Only this time, there will be no next time." ”

Yuxi hummed and said, "If there is a next time, don't blame me for not separating public and private." This means that if there is a next time, the errand assigned to Han Jianming will not be given.

Han Jianming smiled, and then told Yuxi about the disaster relief in Wucheng. There are no problems in this disaster relief on the whole, but there are also minor problems. For example, the food for the victims was mixed with some old grain with rice worms, the clothes for the victims were tattered, and the resettlement places were too simple and leaky. 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 questions from time to time, and this time he said that the sun had set.

Han Jianming said: "When I came back, the victims were all settled, and they were already preparing to plant potatoes and soybeans. "The artichoke and soybean seeds that the victims received from the government are provided by the government free of charge, and there is no need to repay the principal and interest.

Yuxi smiled and said yes: "It's late now, brother, let's go back after dinner!"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It's been two months since I left home, so let's go home first!" The main thing is that it is close, if it is far away, he will definitely have dinner in the palace.

After dinner, Yuxi told Liu'er about letting her walk around the garden every morning and evening: "Liu'er, your health is too poor, as long as you walk around every day, your body will be better, and you won't always be sick after your body is better." ”

These words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Liu Er, and Liu Er came back to her senses and hurriedly said: "Mother, I am in good health, but I will get sick this time by accident." Mother, don't let me go in circles. "She was still tired from walking, she couldn't walk.

Yuxi made up her mind this time: "Your sister only needs to drink a bowl of ginger soup when she gets cold." If you get a cold, it will take five or six days to get better when you take medicine. Liu'er, you don't want to learn boxing from your mother, and your mother doesn't force you, but it's not tiring to walk around the garden every day, and this time your mother won't allow you to escape. "Before taking the Ganoderma lucidum medicine, Liu Er was sick, and it took more than half a month for Mother Lan and Mother Quan to take care of her.

Because Liu'er's health is too poor, Yuxi has inevitably loved and indulged Liu'er more in recent years. But since Qihao was born, Yuxi has found that their love and connivance for Liu Er have harmed the child. Fortunately, it was found in time, as long as it can be corrected with a ruthless heart.

Liu Er's tears came out at once: "Mother, I don't want to go around in circles, mother, I can't walk." While crying, he looked at Yunqing.

Yunqing couldn't stand Liu'er's trick the most, but he promised Yuxi not to interfere in this matter. He stood up and said to Yuxi, "I'll go talk to Xu Wu about something." After saying that, he strode out, and he was afraid that he would disarm and surrender again a little later.

Yuxi was amused and angry when he saw this, Yun Qing was really skilled in shaking his hands. Yuxi said to Liu Er with a straight face: "Starting tomorrow, I will start walking at the end of the morning, and I will start leaving after a quarter of an hour after dinner in the evening." When you get better and you don't always get sick, you don't have to go. "I've been used to walking for two or three years, and I'll go by myself without being urged.

"Wow......" Liu Er couldn't hold back and cried anymore. Liu Er's cry scared Qi Hao to cry. Qihao cried loudly, and soon suppressed Liu'er's cry, making Yuxi cry and laugh.

Zao Zao is already sensible and knows that Yuxi is doing this for Liu'er's good. Zao Zao walked to Liu'er's side, took Liu'er's hand and said, "Sister, every time I see you drinking that bitter medicine, I look at it and worry about it." Sister, if you want, I will accompany you from tomorrow. "I can't practice in the morning, and I will make up for it in the evening, and I don't think grandpa will blame her.

Seeing this, Liu Er knew that she couldn't change it, and she cried even more sadly.

Five days later, the imperial court received an official letter from the northwest. After Yan Wushuang read this official letter, his expression was very complicated.

Because this matter is so special, several ministers in high positions are all waiting on the sidelines. I want to know what this letter says.

The Marquis of Taining was the first to speak: "Lord Wang, what did you say about this official letter?" The northwest has a hostile relationship with the imperial court, and the official letter sent by the king of Pingxi will definitely not be a good thing.

Yan Wushuang put down the official letter and said, "This official letter says a total of three things. The first thing is that there are craftsmen in the Northwest who have invented something called a water sucking dragon that can direct water from low places to high places. As long as we give us 100,000 taels of silver, they will give us the drawings of this thing. ”

As soon as these words fell, the left servant of the official raised his voice and said: "Lord, don't believe this." If there really is such a thing, how can King Pingxi sell it to us?" Others want it, just wait slowly!

Yan Wushuang looked at Jiang Wenrui and said, "The official letter said that this water-absorbing dragon was invented by a craftsman invited by Prince Jiang, I don't know if Lord Jiang knows about this?"

Jiang Wenrui nodded and said, "I know." For this reason, he also invited several skilled craftsmen from Jiangnan to go to the northwest to study this thing. But I didn't think he could realize this idea, so I didn't pay attention to it. ”

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "Since King Pingxi can say this matter in the form of an official letter, it shows that this thing is true." "If you send a private message, you can still fake it, this official letter has passed through the hands of so many people, and you can't deny it if you want to.

The official Shangshu said: "If there is such a thing, it is also cost-effective to buy it for 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Yan Wushuang didn't answer this, but continued: "The second thing, a few old farmers who have accumulated years said that there may be a drought in the northwest next year, and the king of Pingxi believed the words of a few old farmers, and let all the people plant high-yield potatoes this year. ”

Second Master Lu frowned and said, "Just rely on the words of a few old farmers to let the entire northwest grow artichokes, this is too child's play?" I thought it was planted because of the high yield of artichoke, but I didn't expect it to be such a ridiculous reason.

Taining Hou was the calmest and asked, "Lord Wang, what is the third thing?"

Yan Wushuang's face flashed with a glimpse of history, and said: "If the artichoke is planted in a large area, it is easy to produce insect pests, but if it is planted with soybeans or radish, the probability of insect pests is much smaller. In addition, the seeds are cultivated and how to grow artichoke. ”

Taininghou asked, "Will there be fraud?"

The servant of the ministry said with certainty: "There must be a conspiracy. "Thinking about it, I know that it is impossible, and the king of Pingxi is not stupid, how could he tell the secret of their northwest to the court.

Tobe Shangshu thought for a moment and said, "We can use their methods to test it, if it works according to what they say, it is true." If it's useless, it's fake. ”

Yan Wushuang said expressionlessly: "What is said above is true. He folded several times to find out about the planting method of artichoke, but Han Yuxi publicized this method, which made Yan Wushuang feel very aggrieved.

As soon as these words fell, the council chamber was so quiet that even the gentle swaying of the trees outside could be heard.
