At this time, in the court, Song Zhengtian presented a large river map, which Zilan found someone to embroider, among which Ziyan has been busy with this matter, he is the county commander of the Yamen, which is mainly his work.

In the end, Cui Hao and his wife agreed that it was more appropriate for Ziyan to present this matter, so they would not earn this credit with Ziyan, after all, Ziyan's hard work in this process did not have to be half a point less than Zilan.

"Back to the emperor, this picture is the river map made by Xiao'er. Some simple marks were made as a hint, and the child wrote down some of the river problems he found and summarized on the excerpt, and asked the emperor to read them. ”

"Bring it in."

Zilan stepped into this point of the river unintentionally, but after entering, she found that there were too many things she could do.

Ziyan felt sorry for her sister who ran out every day, and the sun and rain were hard, and she was also busy working together, and the more she worked, the more she found that there were too many places worth doing.

It's a matter of benefiting the people, so I put enough effort into research, and really let their brothers and sisters toss a little bit of experience.

After using the existing means of river management and comprehensive treatment, they also screened some useful methods for collocation and combination, and also found that some new methods are very useful, and the useless methods are also listed, and the reasons and disadvantages are clearly written.

After the emperor saw it, he asked Gonggong Li to take it down and hand it over to the prime minister, and several of them took turns to read it, and the officials who had been managing the river for many years also stood up and said, "If you want to say that they have really studied a lot of good methods, this excerpt can be seen to have put a lot of effort and care."

These little methods are only known to the old people, and I didn't even know when I first started doing it. ”

Some officials really looked good and gave high praise.

"I heard that the county lord's brother and sister have put in a lot of money to clean up the river, and now that her idea has been proved to be correct, then it's time for us to discuss the next step."

Li Xiangye also raised the fold in his hand and asked rhetorically.

"But it costs a lot of money according to her method, isn't this a bit extravagant, the county lord's heart is good, but it's inevitable that some things are not considered enough."

There is always the opposition that wants to stand up and refute good proposals.

"Lord Qi was surprised, do you know how much silver money is allocated to the river every year, which is 200,000 taels of silver.

If her method works, we can save at least half of the money, not counting the money we have to go to the disaster after the annual floods. I think my daughter has a point, defense is better than governance and disaster relief. ”

Zilan put forward a lot of points of view, and told her brother about some good things she learned in later life, and Ziyan wrote an excerpt after sorting out and verifying.

Among them, Paul's entire process, defense, river management, disaster relief, epidemics, and other issues and processes are very detailed, and even the reasons for each step and the cases of the incident are very clear, and they are considered after careful consideration.

But such an excerpt actually touched the interests of many people, and after serious discussion with the old lady Song Zhengtian and others, it was decided to show it to the emperor, and some things also need to be reformed.

Every year, the river will take a considerable part of the money, but cutting corners happens from time to time, but some officials are smarter and will not steal too obviously, but after a few years, there will still be problems, but at that time, who will go back to the source, this will not be avoided.

Where is all the money used in the river, but they want to embezzle part of it, and half of it is used on the river, which makes the people very happy.

Frequent disasters are a great burden on the imperial court, so this problem must be solved, and this is why after the old lady and Li Xiangye discussed, Song Ziyan stood up to talk about this problem.

On the one hand, she will protect Zilan, she has already taken control of the procuratorate, and the criticism is already very large, and it is not suitable to continue to deeply participate in the government politics, which touches the core interests of the man, and the contradiction may be further acute.

But Song Ziyan is capable and talented, and he is down-to-earth and hardworking, his tutors have excellent character, and he is also a talent who can compete with Cui Hao among his peers, and he is a relative of the Cui family, and the old lady also likes Ziyan's character, so he decided to push him to the top and gave him this opportunity for promotion.

Ziyan and Cui Hao took different paths, and there was still a big difference, so this credit was also given to him by Cui Hao willingly.

This issue is still very fierce in the court, Song Zhengtian doesn't talk much, but he can choke the neck of the emperor and hundreds of officials, either reduce the appropriation or reform, you can choose one.

Song Zhengtian was already annoyed, why do you spend my daughter's hard-earned money, and you still want to harm my daughter behind your back, I let you know that it hurts, you bastards, don't even think about running away, I'll pick you up one by one.

I haven't found a good entry point, but I didn't expect Zilan to bring them new hope again, the idea of the river made the old lady stunned, corruption governance is not as simple as it seems, and now this gives a new idea, reform and punishment of corruption can be carried out at the same time.

The emperor asked the old lady to discuss, and at the same time invited Marquis Yang and the old prince of the Yu family to enter the palace for discussion.

"Your Majesty, you called a few of us old fellows, but do you have something to order?"

Yang Hou Ye and Yu Guogong bowed and met.

"The girl has sent a letter, give me a big gift, but whether I can eat all this gift still needs your staff."

"Oh, Weichen heard a little, before this, the old minister had a little thing to talk to the emperor, the girl sent me a cook, and studied a pot base, which can be stored for a long time, especially in a bitter cold area like the northwest, it is very applicable, put it in the pot and add water to the low bottom material she studied to cook rice and cook dishes, and it is easy to carry."

"Oh, Aiqing can bring it, let me take a look."

The emperor was also very curious about what kind of things Zilan had studied.

"The minister brought it, just so let's taste it too, I asked Gonggong Li to prepare, you can also feel it and see if it can be used."

Yang Houye instructed Gonggong Li to cook the base ingredients and let the kitchen prepare some dishes.

Gonggong Li asked everyone to move to the small hall, set up the copper pot and burn the fire, and then invited everyone to take a seat.

"Isn't this the mutton pot you eat on the street, what's so special about it?"

Li Xiangye recognized it at a glance, put charcoal fire in the belly of the copper pot, boil water and boil meat, this is rare?

"Brother Yingming, this is the thing, but look at it again."

Yang Houye smiled and exaggerated Li Xiangye.

"Oh, this smell is very strong, it smells very good, do you have a slice of meat?"

Li Xiangye couldn't wait, and it was not the first time that a person of their level had a meal with the emperor, so he would not be nervous.

"Come on, Aiqing will teach us how to eat?"

The emperor looked at the red pot and was very interested, and cooked two pots on the table, one spicy and the other not spicy, taking care of everyone's taste, and also demonstrating the two flavors.

"This is fragrant when you eat it yourself, you can cook whatever you want, come, this is tripe, crispy and strong, this is made of butter, you can also use vegetable oil."

Marquis Yang demonstrated that he ate first, and the emperor couldn't wait to start eating the meat with chopsticks.

"Yes, I understand what you mean, you want to make this thing and go to the border to use it for the soldiers, this thing is really good, even the next one is ready-made, isn't it good?"

When the emperor ate it, he naturally understood their intentions.
