Chapter 86: Gossip and Scandal
"If you do what you say, our top priority is to solve the problem of water control. ”
Mi Huang quickly caught Cheng Jia's thoughts.
"Yes, otherwise, if the water is still strong every year, it will still treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Cheng Jia bowed.
If according to Cheng Jia, water control can not only solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, but also solve the flood problem that has plagued the Chu State for hundreds of years, and will also be an important logistical guarantee to support Ruo Ao Ziyan's Northern Expedition in the future.
That's really, really necessary.
Pan Chong also thought to himself secretly when he heard this, and looked at Cheng Jia with a white eyebrow for a long time and said, "The matter of controlling water and rejuvenating agriculture that Zikong said is really important, and this matter really needs to be put on the agenda! If you have time to be a teacher, you can also go to your eastern suburbs to see the situation of land reclamation, and your idea of water control will also be listed as an outline, and when the time comes, I will mention it to the king after seeing it for the teacher." ”
If every time there is a big flood, all the crops of the people for a year will be washed away, and no matter how good the fields are, they will not be able to bear gratifying fruits, which is obviously a result that every Chu person does not want to see.
But Pan Chong is not a person who I will completely believe in whatever you say, and there must be a practical way to make him believe.
There are too many examples of failure.
Gong Jin, who is responsible for the construction of water conservancy in the Ministry of Labor, is the best representative.
Therefore, in order to convince the kings of the major families, there must still be a basis.
"Okay, teacher, after my father's funeral in Fuzhong is over in a few days, I will personally send it to the teacher's house. ”
Cheng Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, he was worried that with Sun Shuao's side alone, the follow-up construction of water conservancy was a big project, and the Northern Expedition funds were involved, and the cost would definitely be unsustainable, so he was ready to pay out of his own pocket.
Now that Pan Chong admonishes in front of the King of Chu, it is equivalent to a stable matter of nine out of ten, and he finally has the bottom of his heart.
The king of Chu may refute Ling Yin's words, but he will definitely listen to Pan Chong's words, because it was Pan Chong who helped the king of Chu to make a joint plan to make Yin Ziban's grandson force the palace to take the throne and keep his throne.
And Pan Chong, he has always felt that the teacher is the smartest person, he seems to retire to the study and don't ask about political affairs, but he is the closest person to the emperor's heart.
He said very little, but it was crucial.
Mi Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "If the teacher wants to go to the eastern suburbs, Mi Huang also wants to follow him to investigate and study." Farming is the foundation of the country, and it would be great if farming and food and clothing for the people could be solved. ”
Pan Chong's wise eyes looked at the two of them and stroked their beards and chuckled, "Okay, it's been a long time since I've been a teacher to teach you two homework, and when the time comes, Zikong will bring the princess with me and teach us all lessons." ”
"Yes, Teacher!"
Cheng Jia responded, and then pointed to the young Su Cong who was standing aside, "If the princess still wants to know some things about the greenhouse, you can ask Su Cong first, he is the person in charge of my training in the eastern suburbs, about the management of the greenhouse and farming, the princess can take him back to the East Palace, learn from him first, and ask me if you don't understand afterwards." ”
"Good!"
Mi Huang had long paid attention to Su Cong, who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old on the side.
It's just that I don't know how to find Cheng Jia to ask for someone.
Cheng Jia glanced at Su Cong, he didn't know if this Su Cong was the Su Cong in history who had the phrase "three years without a bang, a blockbuster" because of persuading the King of Chuzhuang, but Su Cong is very researched and responsible, and he is also a management expert in modern times.
If he can follow Mi Huang, he may have a greater effect than supervising the development of the eastern suburbs here.
But it all depends on his personal creation.
Su Cong cautiously glanced down at the young woman in front of her who was holding her hair in a bun.
He knew that there was only one woman who could be called a princess in Chu State, and that was the eldest princess who came back from the battlefield of Chu Yong, at this time his mood was complicated, and he would obviously have a good future with Cheng You, but if the princess became a queen, he would ascend to the sky in one step, and the time for promotion would be greatly shortened.
He didn't know if this was a test for him by Lord Right Disciple, or if he intended to be promoted.
He cautiously gave orders to the leader of Cheng Jia, led his horse and bowed down to follow the carriage of the East Palace, and wavered for the first time about the future.
Zhou Jinghua and Yue Jiao, who were standing not far from the door, watched Mi Huang and Pan Taishi's carriage go away, and greeted Cheng Jia who was standing on the door and watched them go away, "Cheng Youtu seems to be very reluctant to give up on the princess?"
Cheng Jia looked back at the woman who was still dignified, virtuous and generous, frowned slightly, and replied with a solemn fist, "The woman's name is important, if Mrs. Ao, please be careful!"
Zhou Jinghua looked at him with a chuckle, "Isn't what I said right? Cheng Youtu is now a high-ranking nobleman, and I don't know which noble girl in my Chu State can match, or is it only the one who left just now?" and then his gaze fell meaningfully on the carriage of the East Palace at the end of the street.
Yue Jiao also stood aside and observed the reaction of this Chengyou disciple with great interest, only to see that his handsome face was slightly gloomy, obviously displeased.
It looked like someone was talking about the central thing, at least in his opinion.
Cheng Qingqing, who had already noticed Zhou Jinghua's movements, walked out of the mansion, but let out a chuckle when she heard this, and then looked at Yue Jiao and Zhou Jinghua and asked curiously, "Lord Ao Duwei, your wife will not still be reluctant to my second brother, right? Why do you have to take care of my second brother's affairs, especially who my second brother marries her, what does it matter to her, does she care so much? ”
Zhou Jinghua seemed to have been stepped on by someone's tail, and immediately changed color when she heard the words, "Cheng Qingqing!"
"What did you tell me to do?"
"Sending off guests?"
"Come on, send Captain Ruo Ao and Mrs. Hua away. Cheng Qingqing said with a smile, and finally avenged the revenge calculated by Zhou Jinghua on the night of the New Year.
Due to the large number of people coming and going around, seeing that the dispute here had stopped, the two of them had no choice but to leave with an embarrassed face, and after leaving, Yue Jiao couldn't help but hesitate in his heart and looked at Zhou Jinghua's gaze couldn't help but be cold, "Are you still thinking about this Cheng Jia?"
"How can I have, you still doubt my heart for you?...... Today, it was obviously me who tested Cheng Jia's heart for the princess with all my heart for you, so that it could be used for our plan, but Cheng Qingqing was targeted. Zhou Jinghua knelt on his lap and hugged him and said aggrievedly.
Cheng Qingqing saw them leave in a gloomy manner, looked at the second brother with ambiguous eyes, grabbed his arm and invited him, "Second brother, you see that if there is no me today, your gossip and scandals will be spread all over the sky." ”
Cheng Jia's ears were slightly red, and he lowered his head and told him repeatedly, "Don't spread it around, I'll thank God, I really don't have anything with my wife." ”
"I know, I know, you don't mean anything to the princess!"
Cheng Qingqing nodded vigorously.
The second brother often said that explanation is a cover-up.
With such an obvious explanation, if she couldn't hear it, she wouldn't be Cheng Qingqing. [.]
