Yi Xiangxiang and Su Jingxiang played another game of chess, and then Jiang Hai sent someone to Changchun Palace to inform the queen in advance that the saint was going to have dinner in Changchun Palace tonight, and Lord Kang Ruikang, General Xiong Wei and Uncle Xiao Yi would all go along.

The little eunuch whispered and withdrew, but Yi Xiangxiang was very embarrassed.

"If this little eunuch doesn't add the sentence "Xiao Yi", I almost didn't realize who Uncle Guo was. ”

Su Jingxiang laughed out loud after hearing Yi Xiangxiang's words: "It's been almost half a year since the queen mother entered the palace, and she hasn't gotten used to her identity yet?" ”

This queen can really make her speechless every time.

Yi Xiangxiang smiled when she heard this: "It's not that I'm not unaccustomed, others worship me, but I can accept the words of a flat body." But if it's me, I always forget to pay homage to others. You see, I have to go to the two queen mothers every day to say goodbye, but even so, if it wasn't for the saint secretly pulling me, I forgot to bow to me. ”

Indeed, every time the queen went to ask for peace, Xiao Dan and the others were uneasy, for fear of falling into courtesy.

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang used to know the rules very well, but after Zhao Ziqian got used to it, he even did a little worse on the surface.

And Su Jingxiang knew that Yi Xiangxiang never visited Zhao Ziqian in Changchun Palace, so she could understand her feelings.

Habit becomes natural.

"Since Niangniang has to entertain a few adults, it is inconvenient for the concubines to stay for a long time." Su Jingxiang said and got up to leave.

Kang Rui and Xiong Wei are familiar with Yi Xiangxiang, and they were brought over by the saint, so it doesn't matter if they are foreign men. And Yi Luochuan is Yi Xiangxiang's brother, so there is no inconvenience for her.

But if Su Jingxiang stays here, it is indeed a little inappropriate.

So Yi Xiangxiang could only send Su Jingxiang away, and then sent someone to start smoking the house. Rao is like this, when Zhao Ziqian came in, he still smelled the wine on Yi Xiangxiang's body.

In the evening, Changchun Palace was already brightly lit, Zhao Ziqian frowned and looked at Yi Xiangxiang, who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Drinking again?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang was a little weak-hearted: "Just drank a little bit." ”

Since he was arrested by Zhao Ziqian last winter and opened the window to cook wine and play chess, Zhao Ziqian has complained a lot about Yi Xiangxiang's love of drinking. Of course, despite this, Yi Xiangxiang will still drink when the mood is satisfied.

Especially when playing chess with Su Jingxiang.

"Drinking hurts your body, don't be greedy!" Zhao Ziqian's tone was still cold.

Yi Xiangxiang surrendered: "Okay, okay, I know." But I didn't drink much, so I just had two more drinks today, and you bumped into it. ”

She had an expression of who made you run suddenly, and her feelings became Zhao Ziqian's fault.

Zhao Ziqian was very speechless, sometimes he really had nothing to do with Yi Xiangxiang.

Seeing this, Yi Luochuan hurriedly broke the siege, coughed at the right time, and reminded Yi Xiangxiang not to be presumptuous.

His hint reminded Yi Xiangxiang that there were other people present, so he said to Zhao Ziqian directly: "It's almost dark this day, it's not appropriate for you to take Kang Rui and Xiong Wei into my Changchun Palace, right?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang automatically ignored Yi Luochuan, because Yi Luochuan was her own brother, and it was not good for others to have any complaints when she entered her Changchun Palace. But Kang Rui and Xiong Wei are different, it's better to come early, it's almost dark.

Zhao Ziqian also knew that it was not appropriate, he didn't expect this stubble before, and a few people were late in the imperial study, so they came to Changchun Palace at this time.

"It's okay, if others criticize it, I will suppress it." Zhao Ziqian is simple and crisp.

Yi Xiangxiang rolled her eyes, swallowed the "only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lamps" that she was about to say, in other words, she asked, "What's wrong?" This point also deliberately ran this trip? ”

If it was just for food, Yi Xiangxiang would not believe it.

Zhao Ziqian looked at Kang Rui after hearing her question, so the latter opened his mouth to be the spokesperson, and he said word by word:

"Previously, Lord Qin of the Ministry of Industry suggested building a reservoir in Meizhou, and storing water in the spring for irrigation in the summer, and the saint approved it. But now Meizhou has reported that the water in the reservoir has only been half dried up by now, and it is estimated that it will not last for summer. ”

Yi Xiangxiang frowned when she heard this, she also knew about it. In fact, when Qin Chuan's excerpt was handed over, and Zhao Ziqian planned to do so, she had already considered the problem of the water being dried. But at that time, it was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and it was better to try it if I wanted to try it than to do nothing.

Eh, it's really more popular than people! The water level on the other side of Sanssouci Island was disgusted, and they saluted Meizhou at this end, but their hair turned gray because of the lack of water.

"What then?" Hearing that the worried thing had become a fact, Yi Xiangxiang also had a sad face.

Zhao Ziqian coughed secretly when he heard this: "Didn't you mention introducing the water of Saibei to Meizhou before?" This morning, I mentioned this matter again to your brother, although many ministers did not agree, but in the afternoon, I summoned Lord Qin Chuan and several other people from the Ministry of Industry to discuss the matter. Everyone explored it carefully and felt that it was feasible. ”

Qin Chuan is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he is also the old uncle of Kyoto Ruihe Bofu. Speaking of details, the Qin family also has some relatives with the Yi family, because Qin Chuan's sister-in-law is the old lady Jiang in Tongzhou Jiang's mansion, and Yi Luochuan married Jiang Jingshan, and he was called Qin Chuan's uncle according to his generation.

The water in the north mentioned by Zhao Ziqian is the source of the Grand Canal of the Li Dynasty. If you can dig mountains and make rivers to divert part of the water from the north into Meizhou, not only can the desolation of Meizhou be solved, but over time, Meizhou will inevitably be more prosperous and lively than Kyoto.

Yi Xiangxiang was a little proud when she heard this, she pretended to pick up the teacup and took a sip and said:

"Of course it works, and I don't see who came up with it."

After she finished proudly, she put down the teacup and continued: "But the problem is that digging the river and draining it costs a lot of money and financial resources, and my brother and I said this in Tongzhou back then, if the whole country builds it, at least then the treasury will be empty for at least three or four years." At that time, if the neighboring country came to attack, the Li Dynasty would have no power to fight back. ”

"Besides, a lot of ideas don't always work. Meizhou has a hilly terrain and not much vegetation, if it is not filled well, the dug river is easy to wash away soil erosion, right? ”

She didn't know much about these things, but she did know about the introduction of multiple trees in modern society. If a place like Meizhou is renovated, it is really not that easy. If the river branch is dug small, the water may not be enough to reach Meizhou, and if it is dug large, it will inevitably run with water and soil after a long time. Over time, the dug river is also easy to fill in.

When they heard this, they were silent, and in the afternoon they were concerned about the feasibility of digging the river, and they went to consider the question of the treasury funds, but they did not expect that the waterway would be buried.

Zhao Ziqian frowned, Yi Luochuan and Kang Rui looked at each other, Xiong Wei ...... Xiong Wei couldn't do it, he just came to make soy sauce and just take a look at Yi Xiangxiang by the way.

Yi Xiangxiang was even more proud when she saw this, and the result of a room full of people discussing for an afternoon was actually blocked by herself, and she was naturally overjoyed.

Yi Luochuan fought with Yi Xiangxiang, who didn't like to write and read, when she was a child, she naturally found that she deliberately watched a good show, so she asked very humbly: "Does my sister have any other way?" ”

His sister is eccentric and weird Yi Luochuan has known for a long time, and he knows that his sister wants to do something different from ordinary people. Yi Luochuan felt that his sister had made up a sentence or two, and it was estimated that it would be more useful than their discussion all day.

Others don't know, Yi Luochuan has experienced it personally, when his father Yi Xihu governed Tongzhou, Yi Xiangxiang had a lot of ideas on the side.

"Eh, how can someone like you who has a head and no end do good things?" Yi Xiangxiang pretended to be very disgusted, and her little eyes that floated towards Zhao Ziqian also carried a hint.

Zhao Ziqian received this hint and knew that Yi Xiangxiang was deliberately pretending to get some benefits, so he said, "Let you go out of the palace for an hour." ”

Yi Xiangxiang's eyes lit up as soon as she committed, but she hurriedly added: "An hour? What about sending Hanako? Prisoners can go out for half a day! ”

The others were very surprised when they heard this, they couldn't help it, it was the first time they had heard that a queen would compare herself to a prisoner.

"One day ......" Zhao Ziqian was also easy to speak: "But you must bring Mo Zhaoxi and Qingxuan." ”

Only by bringing these two people can Yi Xiangxiang's safety be fully guaranteed.

Yi Xiangxiang smiled: "Deal!" ”

One day is enough time for her to go home and have lunch after seeing her family, which is very rare.

Jiang Hai sighed on the side, and at the same time he looked at his little apprentice Jiang He, and said in his talking eyes: "See? Throughout the ages, when it is not a specific provincial family, how can a queen return to her parents' house after half a year after entering the palace? ”

If Yi Xiangxiang knew what he was thinking at this time, he would definitely add a sentence, how could the queens of the past dynasties have her smart self-satisfaction!

When the deal was reached, Yi Xiangxiang naturally didn't sell it, she asked Qing Xuan to get a pen and paper, and gushed endlessly while writing: "Since you want to do it, you will do it big!" After the river road was built, the sides and bottom of the river were filled with stones, and then sealed with yellow mud. When mixing the yellow mud, add wheat straw and mud mixed together, and pour it on it to greatly increase the water resistance of the river walls on both sides, so that the water will not rush away with the soil. I also saw the method of yellow mud and straw sealing in ancient books, and I have not practiced it, so it is best to find a pilot to try it first. ”

Zhao Ziqian nodded, if it is feasible, it can be used, if it is not feasible, it will be in vain to start construction.

Kang Rui also understood what this meant, but still asked: "If this method is feasible, it can solve the problem of soil erosion in a short time, but after a long time, it will definitely rush away, and the water has been introduced by then, and there is no way to repair it underneath." ”

When the river was repaired, it had not yet entered the water, and the inlet was blocked, and you could repair it as much as you wanted. But once the water is connected, there is no way to replenish the bottom.

"This is the problem of vegetation, when there is water, all the trees that should be planted in Meizhou will be planted. However, the survival rate of flowers and trees there is low, so we have to put our energy into picking some tree species that are easy to survive. Yi Xiangxiang replied.

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and Xiong Wei was the most anxious, so he immediately asked, "What does this tree have to do with rivers?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, how can this be explained? Modern scientific theories cannot be spoken.

She thought for a moment and then said, "Most of the rivers on the south side are self-contained, which bottom do you see to rest?" In fact, just like your hand can grasp something, the roots of a tree go deep into the ground and can lock in soil erosion. ”

Her argument is easy to understand and obviously justified, but the problem remains.

Yi Luochuan opened his mouth at the right time: "But for a sapling to grow into a towering tree, it will take more than ten years to say the least, and this process is too long." ”

Yi Xiangxiang shrugged and said, "This is not a problem, the south tree is transferred to the north." Now the vegetation in the south is luxuriant, digging roots wrapped in mud and transporting them to Meizhou to plant, and when the river water is introduced, it will also be directly irrigated, but it complements each other. ”

In modern times, there is a famous south-to-north water diversion project, and Yi Xiangxiang will come to the south-to-north diversion.

Kang Rui nodded: "This is a good idea, but in this way, the effort will be doubled." ”

Yi Xiangxiang nodded: "Yes, in the final analysis, it's a matter of money!" ”

If the matter of digging the river could be done so easily, the emperor would have solved the plight of Meizhou a long time ago, how could he wait until now. Yi Xiang Xiang belly slander.

Yi Luochuan got up and took the rice paper that Yi Xiangxiang had just drawn, and had already drawn up a preliminary prototype of the plan on it, and he frowned and said: "Earlier this day, Lord Pei said that the treasury can only contribute one-half, after all, the treasury can't be really empty. With the remaining half, it has to be raised from the private sector. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Yi Xiangxiang.

Yi Xiangxiang originally listened to his words and agreed, but when she saw him looking over, Yi Xiangxiang's scalp instantly went numb.

She looked around and found that Zhao Ziqian, Kang Rui and Xiong Wei were all looking at her, so she hurriedly said: "Don't look at me, I don't have any money!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang, who finished speaking, also wanted to hint that Yi Luochuan should not say anything about her Wuda business, but Xiong Wei's words broke her luck.

"Xiangxiang sister ......" After glancing at Zhao Ziqian's eyes, Xiong Wei immediately changed his words: "Queen Mother, don't pretend, we all know that you are the boss of Wuda before you come!" You are really good, not only did you build a Joy Pavilion, but also set up a huge business, and we all admired you so much! ”

God knows, this evening, after Qin Chuan and the others withdrew from the imperial study, Yi Luochuan said to Zhao Ziqian, Kang Rui and him, how surprised he and Kang Rui were!

Kang Rui was so shocked that he didn't grasp the cup firmly and fell apart.

After Xiong Wei's words came out, Changchun Palace suddenly became very quiet, and even Jiang Hai, who hinted that the little apprentice should not be surprised, was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

Wuda firm, that is one of the top ten firms of the Li Dynasty! No wonder the queen mother is like throwing money when she gives rewards!

(Yi Xiangxiang: I'm sorry, the reward was Zhao Ziqian's money.) ）

After a long time, Yi Xiangxiang came back to her senses and shouted at her brother, "Yi Luochuan!! ”

She threw the wolf in her hand out, and Yi Luochuan, who had been on guard, dodged away, and the wolf fell on the white cashmere blanket on the ground, and instantly fainted with ink stains.

Yi Luochuan knew that he was at a loss, and hurriedly said: "Sister, listen to me......"

"Ahhh I don't listen! Yi Xiangxiang covered her ears angrily: "It's really a thousand precautions, and it's hard to prevent thieves!" ”

Seeing this, everyone was amused by her actions and words, she loved money like Yi Xiangxiang, and even scolded her brother as a thief when she blew up her hair for money.

Yi Luochuan smiled and said: "This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is a great public virtue!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang turned her back to Yi Luochuan, covered her ears with her hands and replied: "I don't care, I don't care, I don't have money, I don't have money." ”

This is good, even Zhao Ziqian, who has always been unsmiling, laughed out loud.

Yi Xiangxiang naturally heard Zhao Ziqian's laughter, she turned around and scolded angrily: "What are you laughing at!" Feelings are not for you to spend money! Speaking of which, you are embarrassed to bring these outsiders to ask your wife for money, are you ashamed! ”

Well, now even Yi Luochuan has become an outsider! He rubbed his nose and sat down.

Zhao Ziqian laughed even more happily when he heard this, he didn't expect to hear such words one day, so he said happily: "Eh, who makes her husband shy, she can only bother the queen to be generous!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang was stunned, this Zhao Ziqian actually pretended to be cute with her!

It's pretty cute!

But fortunately, Yi Xiangxiang has a tough mind, if this is something else, Yi Xiangxiang estimates that she will fall for this beauty's trick! But for money? Don't even think about it!

"Don't come with me, it's useless! Besides, my Wuda firm really doesn't have much money, and the treasury can only get one-half, do you still think my Wuda firm can fill the remaining one-half? Yi Xiangxiang found a breakthrough point, so it was very suitable to seize this point.

Seeing this, Kang Rui hurriedly explained: "Not only is there a Wuda firm, but Cheng Xi's firm is run by Cheng Xi by the saint. With Chengxi and Wuda as the main forces, it will be enough to mobilize other businesses and even major families to raise donations together. ”

Damn, the feelings have already figured out how to kill her! Yi Xiang Xiang belly slander.

"You don't need to have a full net worth of Wuda business, the business will still be profitable when you turn around, and the queen mother can still be the person behind the scenes." Kang Rui continued to persuade.

Yi Xiangxiang snorted coldly, she said angrily: "Come on!" At that time, everyone will know that I am the boss of Wuda Firm, how can I go behind the scenes? If others use this to talk about things, I may have to confiscate it! ”

If everyone knew that the queen mother had such financial resources, it would definitely be criticized. Maybe she will have to be forced to hand it over, then she will really lose to death.

Kang Rui knew Yi Xiangxiang's concerns, and suggested: "Otherwise, if you don't donate in the name of Niangniang, it is okay to say that Wuda is also okay." Anyway, as long as the mother authorizes it, she can come up with the money. ”

"Hmph, think beautifully! I haven't done anything good before, so forget about hiding my identity! Now that I'm all for the country and the people, do you still want me to be unknown? Think beautifully! Yi Xiangxiang was still angry.

Well, the road is blocked.

Yi Luochuan sighed when he heard this: "Then what do you say?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang glared at him after hearing him speak, her eyes almost bursting with fire. But she also knows that this is a good thing, and there are thousands of people who can be saved.

After hesitating for a long time, Yi Xiangxiang, who threw his face at Zhao Ziqian, Yi Luochuan and Kang Rui, understood that they were determined to eat themselves, so they couldn't.

"Do you have to donate?" She was still struggling a little.

Yi Luochuan nodded, he was determined to cut his sister's "meat".

Yi Xiangxiang hugged her head and babbled for a while, and then made up her mind, vigorously slapped the bookcase and said, "Okay!" I give money! However, the Wuda firm cannot be moved, and it cannot be known to outsiders that it is my industry! That's my hard work, you can't just take it away from me! And as for the money...... You guys...... If you want money, go to Tongzhou to dig it! ”

Quiet, the silence that can be heard when the needle drops.
