130 million gold changes hearts
Mo Yunshen, who was rejected, naturally hated it, but he just had no choice but to give up.
"Water cage smoke, I advise you not to make your own decisions, and immediately withdraw the order to requisition the militia to build a dam! You are dragging down the court, and you are also arrogance! β
Shui Qian Yan replied indifferently: "I requisitioned the people's power and spent my money." I didn't use the name of the imperial court to requisition the people's power, why are you in a hurry? The dam was repaired to benefit the nine cities, and the merit was in the future. I do things for the court, what do you mean by blocking? β
What a thing to do for the court!
Mo Yunshen looked at Mo Wait, and asked coldly, "Did you order it?" β
Don't wait and look confused.
However, he remembered that a few days ago, Shuiqian Yan had asked him to come to Fucheng with him, but unfortunately he didn't wait for him to drive out Shuiqian at that time.
Now that I think about it, I regret it.
If he had come early, the wise act of not having a single person killed by the people of Fucheng would have been his credit.
In front of the world, he can be regarded as a meritorious service.
Fortunately, Shuiqian is his retainer, and he can still reap the benefits now.
Thinking of this, Mo didn't wait to hook his lips and smile: "Big brother asks so, how can I be embarrassed to deny it?" I already knew ......"
"Does this have anything to do with you? I came to Fucheng by myself, and I saw the flood in advance. I urged you to come with me that day, and you would not rather be in pleasure in the house than come with me? β
I never thought that the water cage smoke would be so faceless, and Mo Wait's face was blue and white for a while.
Mo Waitian immediately quibbled: "I was joking that day, but who knew that you would leave alone, and you didn't say to wait for me." β
Shui Yanyan glanced at him without hesitation, and said coldly: "You are also worthy of being a prince with such virtue?" I advise you to change it as soon as possible, otherwise, sooner or later someone will pull you down! β
Don't wait to be shocked and ashamed, he was taught such a lesson by the water cage smoke in front of Mo Yunshen, he didn't want to lose face?
He immediately slapped the table: "Water cage smoke, you are presumptuous!" β
Shui Xuanyan raised his eyes slowly, looked over coldly, and said coldly: "I only promised to be your retainer, do I still need to give you my merits?" Are you such an insatiable head of the house? β
Shuilongyan's words became more and more vicious every time, and it was difficult to accept it, and she was not her opponent, so she had to keep silent.
Seeing this, Mo Yunshen couldn't figure out the contradiction between them.
But he can be sure of one thing, between the water cage smoke and Mo Waiting, there must be nothing to do with Fengyue.
As for why Shui Qian Yan agreed to be a retainer who was not idle, Mo Yunshen was very confused.
What kind of conditions did it take to make Shuiqian smoke willing to stay under his command?
A few people didn't say anything, and the water cage smoke was too lazy to accompany him, so he got up and left.
Mo Yunshen also returned to the house, and the flying pigeon passed a letter to the queen, explaining the disaster and the abnormality of the water cage smoke.
For three consecutive days, the results of the imperial court have not come down, and the people of the water cage have almost been gathered.
Everything is ready, and we are waiting for the next day to start repairing the dam.
Under the scorching sun, Liangcheng looked a little dry, even though it had rained heavily only three days ago.
But the water and soil here are peculiar, cloudy and sunny, either there is a big drought or a big flood.
The suffering of the people's livelihood also came from this, and the people were full of complaints, but the imperial court was unwilling to allocate funds to build dams.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what about the wealth here?
If it is not next to Lin'an City, the emperor is reluctant to take a second look.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, the three men stood on the walls of Liangcheng and watched the timber for the construction of the dam and the rebuilding of homes coming and going.
The water cage smoke drank tea leisurely, closed his eyes and recuperated.
Mo Yunshen has long been flustered in his heart, is the imperial court really unwilling to allocate grain for disaster relief? Really hit by the water cage smoke, the food money is not out?
"The Divine Decree has arrivedβthe Holy Decree has arrivedβ"
Suddenly, a fast horse broke into view, and the decision of the imperial court finally came down!
The two princes were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly went down to the city to get the holy decree, but when they opened it, the result turned out to be the same as what the water cage smoke said!
Both of them were stunned, and at this time, the person lying on the city wall looking down had a playful face: "What? The results are out? How much grain has been allocated by the imperial court? β
The two of them looked up, and they were both deflated.
On this day, the nine cities all knew the news that the imperial court did not allocate funds for food, and also knew that the imperial court had long been fine when they saw them, but they had the audacity to let them live in peace in the eight cities, and never mentioned the matter of rebuilding their homes.
This incident quickly caused great public outrage, and at this time, the plan for water cage smoke had already begun.
Rebuilt the home, repaired the dam, and built a beacon tower in the center of the eight cities, that is, Fucheng.
The project is huge and the cost is huge, but the water cage smoke has already brought the million taels of gold.
In less than half a month, the project was completed, and the people all cheered.
At the time of parting, tens of thousands of people saw each other off, and the two princes had no face to see the people, and they all hid in the carriage.
Shui Qian Yan rode on horseback, looked at the people and the nine city lords, and said with a smile: "The court belongs to the emperor, and the emperor is unconscious, so he didn't make a good decision in time." But it doesn't matter, there are still many loyal ministers in the court, and we all care about the people. As long as everyone is safe, the court and the emperor will be at ease. β
The water cage smoke pushes the credit to the emperor and to the imperial court.
In this way, no one will be offended on the surface, and it will also allow the people and the two princes to have a step down.
The people shouted long live the emperor, but they all remembered the great benefactor of Shuiqian in their hearts.
A few people on the road rested for a while, and the water cage smoke hid under the shade of the tree and closed their eyes to recuperate, leisurely.
Don't wait for the idleness to be impatient, and come up again to please: "Yanyan." β
As soon as Shuiqian heard his voice, he felt that his ears began to hurt.
She asked nonchalantly, "Something?" β
"I have a few questions for you."
Don't wait for gossip to be gentle and approachable.
Shui Xuanyan refused to stretch her brows, her eyes never opened, she just refused coldly: "I don't want to answer any questions." β
was splashed with cold water one after another, and Mo Wait's heart was also cold.
He looked at the calm man, thought about his attitude, and couldn't help sighing: "You hate me more and more, don't you?" β
"That doesn't stop me from being loyal to you."
Mo couldn't tell whether this was perfunctory or sincere, he said with a sad face: "Yanyan, we ...... Let's reconcile. β
"We have no grievances and no enemies, how can we reconcile? I'm just a retainer, I just have to do my part. I don't want to have too much to do with you, and I ask you not to put undue feelings on me, so as not to feed the dog with a 'sincere' heart. β
Is the cage smoke a woman made of knives?
Mo Xian's temples were beating suddenly, and this woman was so angry that she had a heart attack when she spoke.
"Okay."
Don't wait for it to be bored, so I prepared to get up and leave.
Shui Qian Yan opened his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Don't wait, don't think that you can sit back and relax if I become your retainer." Everything was going well before, but it was just because Mo Siliang didn't make a move on me. β
These words exploded in his heart like thunder.
Mo didn't even turn around, his face was very gloomy, but he knew that what Shui Cangyan said was true.
"Are you really supporting me?"
Don't wait for the idle, ask for verification again.
The water cage smoke looked at him, his eyes lazy.
He cleared his throat and said, "As long as you give me enough rights, what reason do I have not to be sincere?" I just want to be a powerful minister, and I just want a lot of money. β
Without waiting for his heart to sink, he couldn't help asking: "You love your family and have a lot of money, I will give you the one million taels of gold, and you will give it all to Jiucheng, what does this mean?" β
"The wool comes out of the sheep, aren't all the belongings you give me from the emperor? Now the emperor is unconscious, and the treasury refuses to allocate grain. As a prince, you should have acted, but aren't you also shy? I just made a favor, this money was given to them by the emperor, and I am only responsible for carrying it. β
Shuilongyan's excuse will only make Mo Waitian feel that she is either too kind and loyal to the court, or she is too ambitious.
Spending money to buy the hearts of the people in Jiucheng, she really did it.
Mo didn't wait for another answer, turned around and got into the carriage.
Shui Cangyan looked at his departing back, his face sank a little, and he calculated in his heart, estimating that he should have a little gain when he went back this time.
Three days later.
The three of them successfully arrived in Lin'an City, and as soon as they entered the city, they were warmly welcomed by the ministers and the people, and the water cage smoke can be said to be out of the limelight.
Hai time.
Yunshen Building.
The water cage smoke was about to stop, and the goose Feishuang pushed the door in.
Seeing that the person who came was Yan Feishuang, Shui Cangyan's tired face suddenly added a smile: "Feishuang, you are here, the three armies have settled down?" β
"Well, are you free? I want to talk to you, are you tired? If you're tired, you can talk about it tomorrow. β
Yan Feishuang had worry in her eyes, and she had reservations in her words, how could the water cage smoke not notice it?
She shook her head and said, "Don't be tired, you can say it." β
Yan Feishuang thought about it again and again before deciding to speak: "That, I chatted with Mo Siliang for a while a few days ago. β
"Oh, and then?"
When Shui Xiangyan heard that sentence, she was uneasy, and she unconsciously pinched a cup and put it to her mouth.
"He told me about you and the cause of his death, as well as your past with Mo and Wait."
Bump β
The water cage smoker's hand trembled, the cup slipped on the table, and the tea poured after turning it around.
Seeing that she was flustered, Yan Feishuang hurriedly said again: "Yanyan, I always thought it was not good for you to linger between the two of them, but now I don't think so, I think I understand the feelings of the monarch and the minister that you can't let go." β
The water cage smoke stared at her, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Mo Si thought about making a move, but he finally started to make a move.
Yan Feishuang didn't notice her strangeness at all, and was still thinking about how to persuade Shuiqian Yan to stay away from Mo Wait, so he said: "Yanyan, in your previous life, what you owe Mo Wait, has already been paid off." In this life, you have family, friends, and thoughts. Why do you still dwell on the debt that you have been imprisoned for 14 years in your previous life? β
Hearing this, Shuiqian immediately frowned fiercely, and Mo Siwei really rebelled against Yan Feishuang.
She held her breath in her heart, Mo Sili was still like that, and sure enough, it hadn't changed at all.
In order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means.
"He asked you to persuade me? So what does he mean exactly? β
Water cage smoke asked coldly.
The hostile words made Yan Feishuang's heart cold, and she couldn't help but hide something: "He didn't ask me to persuade you, it's because after listening to the story between you, I hope you can live well in this life." β
"Feishuang, did he tell you how old you can live?"
The water cage smoke asked such a sentence coldly, which made Yan Feishuang feel a thrill all over his body, and his back was cold.
"Didn't say that? He told you about the grudge between you and him in your previous life? β
The sound of the water cage smoke was a little louder, and it was suddenly a little scary.
Yan Feishuang still looked shocked, which made the water cage smoke sneer even more.
"Hahaha - it's really him, and he never says anything bad about himself."
After saying this, Shuilangyan's face darkened.
Yan Feishuang's heart was stunned, and she couldn't help asking: "Do you still have grievances with him?" β
Shui Xuanyan sneered: "I thought that the past was forgotten in the past." But now it seems that his lesson is not enough! How dare I hit you with a bad idea, okay! He's so brazen, and I still care about what he does! β
The water cage slammed the table, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.
