Chapter 392: Deliberation
"That being said, I've thought about it for you." Old Man Yao told them in detail about the method he had thought of before coming here, "Although you two don't want to show your heads and don't want people to know that this thing is what you thought of, but I am embarrassed to monopolize this credit, old man." β
"I will hand over the things, but I won't say what I thought of, I will only say that my friend came up with these methods, but he didn't want to show up, so he asked me to hand them over to the emperor."
"The emperor is now worried about these things, and once these things are handed over, they can be regarded as solving the urgent need, and he will probably be curious, and ask where you are sacred? But after I have explained the truth to him, I will not be embarrassed by it in the evening, and I will be able to ask you for some reward. β
"Maybe when this reward will be used, it can be regarded as paving the way for you in the future."
Old Man Yao thought a lot about them, and even Lu Yan, who had always choked with Old Man Yao, silently remembered this kindness in his heart.
"Okay, okay, I don't need to say more thanks." Old man Yao is not a hypocritical person, looking at them like this, he felt a little greasy, and said very sadly: "If you really want to thank me, quickly add me a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and fry two more dishes, old man, I rushed to you in the dust, and I didn't even care about eating!" β
"Thinking about how busy I am at my age for you little bunnies, it's really exhausting my old arms and legs."
There was still a warm atmosphere, but when Old Man Yao said this, it suddenly disappeared, Si Si laughed a little funny, and hurriedly turned around and took a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, filled the meal, and sent it to Old Man Yao's hands.
also urged Lu Yan to go in and fry two dishes, and there were still some meat and eggs in the kitchen, which could be eaten faster.
After eating this meal, Old Man Yao finally had some spirits, politely refused Sisi's retention, and hurriedly got into the carriage and returned to the capital.
After all, the things in my hands are very heavy, so it is better to hand them over to the emperor as soon as possible.
"I don't know if things will go smoothly." Si Simu watched Old Man Yao's carriage get farther and farther away, with a little worry in his eyes.
"Don't worry, that old man has been a man for decades no matter what he says, and this thing still can't be difficult for him." Although Lu Yan said this, he still couldn't see that he admired Old Man Yao.
Outside the Jinluan Palace, the scorching sun seems to evaporate the water between the heaven and the earth, and you can feel a burst of heat when you walk outside.
And above the court, the civil and military officials were all whispering, and all of them had a sad look on their faces.
The signs of drought have now emerged, and the first batch of wheat ears has not been harvested, and this news has been sent to the capital as soon as possible.
Previously, the people of Qin Tianjian predicted that there would be a drought and reported it to the emperor, who in turn handed it over to them as courtiers, and after discussing it for a long time, they could not come up with a solution, but now that the disaster came, they were still helpless.
"How's that good? After a while, I am afraid that all the grain will not be produced, which will cause panic! β
"Not only that, but if it is really as Qin Tianjian predicted, if there is a plague behind, then things will be even more difficult to do, and the small neighboring countries are still eyeing us, if something happens, if they take this opportunity to attack us, then we will ......"
"Be careful, don't say these unlucky things."
The official next to him reminded him very seriously, and the official who said this sentence knew that he was speechless, and he also closed his mouth stupidly. 139 Reading Network
"Lord Yao?"
Since Mr. Yao resigned and returned to his hometown, he rarely appeared in the capital again, but today it is very rare to put on the court clothes of the past and go to court.
When the rest of the civil officials saw Old Man Yao, they were all surprised and greeted him at the same time.
"Lord Yao, haven't you already resigned and returned to your hometown? Today this is ......"
Old Man Yao smiled gently at the man and said, "I have a very important matter to report to the emperor today. β
I see.
Although I don't know what important things he said, no one is too embarrassed to ask.
Finally it was the court, and Old Man Yao originally wanted to stand at the back of the line, but he saw a push from his protΓ©gΓ© and pushed it to the top of the line, just like in the past.
"Oh? Why did Lord Yao go to court today? β
After the emperor who came to the court saw the person standing at the front, he raised his eyebrows very curiously and asked, "Could it be that I am bored at home and are ready to come back to help me with my errands?" β
"Back to the emperor, yes, but no." Old Man Yao said as he took out the things he had put in his sleeve and said: "Recently, the weather has been hot, and there is a faint trend of drought, I heard that the emperor is worrying about these things, and it just so happens that someone I know well has given me these strategies, I see that it is very important, and I have come to present it to the emperor non-stop." β
"I see."
I'm here to give advice!
The emperor touched his beard and beckoned, "Present it!" β
The eunuch on the side immediately went down, took the things in Lord Yao's hand, and presented them to the emperor.
The emperor trusts himself very much, and naturally attaches great importance to what he offers.
After opening it and looking at it a few times, his brows furrowed, and after seeing what was written on it clearly, he quickly stretched it again, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Mrs. Yao, you can think of such a strategy, you really deserve to be a talent of our country!"
"The emperor praised it falsely."
Old Man Yao humbly arched his hand, and then looked at the curious eyes of the courtiers, and said unhurriedly: "In fact, if there is a great drought in the world, this kind of disaster is not incurable, we can gather young and strong laborers from all over the country and let them dig wells to find water." β
He said eloquently: "Then let the people everywhere save some of the water they use on weekdays, and store the water they use for washing their feet and bathing and washing vegetables on weekdays, and use it to water the ground. β
