Xiao Yuan went to Xiaoyingzhou.

Except for Ah Huan, she didn't bring anyone.

She jumped all the way, like a real child, chirping and pointing to the flowers blooming in the garden: "Ah, do you know what kind of flowers this is?" ”

Ah Huan couldn't answer, and Xiao Yuan didn't expect Ah Huan to answer.

The garden during the day and at night are two different worlds, and without the palace maids who shuttle in and out like butterflies during the day, the flowers in the garden can grow more freely at night.

Because the noise is removed, the floral fragrance is more intense and pure.

At night, the whole palace is shrouded in mildness and silence.

Xiao Yuan walked all the way to Xiaoyingzhou in the moonlight.

With Ah Huan by her side, she is not worried that in some dark corner, there will be hidden the vicious eyes of the sixth prince.

"Ahh

She stopped and looked back at the silent young man standing straight behind her, his little face flushed from running and jumping.

"Are you afraid of ghosts?"

Ah Yan stood in the shadows, the long sword behind him fused with him, and under the cover of night, it looked very weird, like a person with a particularly slender neck.

And the upper end of the neck, there is no head.

This idea was particularly terrifying, Xiao Yuanhao hurriedly shook his head: "Forget it, I think you are not afraid of heaven and earth." ”

The silent boy is fear itself, and when he stands there, it makes people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts for no reason.

Of course, Xiao Yuan is not included here.

She is the lord of Ah Huan, and the long sword named Piaoxue is Ah Huan's weapon, and her weapon is Ah Huan.

Xiao Yuan was so good that she was no longer afraid of the prying eyes in the night, she jumped all the way to Xiaoyingzhou and knocked on Mr. Chu's door.

Mr. Chu seemed to have expected someone to come, and when Xiao Yuanhao knocked on the door for the first time, he asked Yu'er to open the door.

"Sure enough, it's the tenth princess."

Xiao Yuan told Ah Huan to stay outside the house, took off his pearlescent shoes, stepped on a pair of little feet wrapped in plain white Luo socks, walked briskly to Mr. Chu, and knelt down.

"How did you know I was coming, sir?"

Mr. Chu sat cross-legged behind the red lacquer moire warped head case, holding a book and reading, and said with a smile: "The tenth princess knows etiquette and observes etiquette. Today, I made a statement to the king, so that the ten princesses can achieve their wishes, and the ten princesses will step on the moon to thank them. ”

Xiao Yuan knelt down on the desk and said with a smile: "Mr. is wrong, not to achieve what I want, but to achieve what Mr. wants." That's why I'm here today, not to thank him, but to ask him for something. ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

Xiao Yuanhao took out a booklet from the small purse she was carrying diagonally, which was her record of the condition of a section of the Lanjiang River on the outskirts of Beijing, including detailed records of water quality, soil quality, topography, landform, and the distribution of farmland, villages and towns.

Every time Mr. Chu turned the page, the surprise in his heart increased.

He flipped through to the end, slammed the pamphlet shut, and let out a long breath: "Your Royal Highness Princess, can you lend this booklet to so-and-so and let so-and-so copy it?" ”

Xiao Yuan was very generous: "It's okay to give it to Mr." But sir has to do me a favor. ”

Because of this booklet, Mr. Chu's attitude towards Xiao Yuan was a little solemn: "Your Highness, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Xiao Yuan sat upright and kneeling, his two little hands were obediently placed on his waist, and his face became serious: "Please Mr. help me build a dam and bless the people!" ”

"Aren't the dikes good? Why did Your Highness say this? ”

Although Mr. Chu is tired of mundane things, he is a son of a family after all, and he cannot be completely separated from the political affairs of the court.

In the past few days, the court has shaken, and he can't hide it, and he also knows that it was Sun Chi, the prince of Dingguo, who uncovered the fraud of Jin Min's embankment. But Mr. Chu always felt that there was still a stroke of his proud disciple here.

In Mr. Chu's view, uncovering the fraud of the embankment is a great thing for both the country and the people.

But since it has been ascertained that several sections of the levee were filled with straw, it is necessary to rebuild them.

When the embankment is made stronger, even if the water of the Nalan River floods, there will be no more major floods like the 12th year of Jianchun.

The tenth princess said that building a dam again is a matter of labor and money, and it is not easy to do.

Xiao Yuan didn't give up, took a pen and paper, and smeared on the paper: "Sir, please see, this is the current Qinglong Dam and the embankments on both banks. This is the simplest section of the embankment, but it follows the water level of the Lan River. If the water of the Lanjiang River rises by one inch, the levee will be two inches higher. If the water of the Lanjiang River rises one foot, the embankment will be two feet higher. It's a big project. ”

"How many servants are requisitioned for this purpose every year, and how many taels of silver are allocated? Isn't this a waste of money and labor? What is even more ridiculous is that this wastes money and wastes money, but does not solve the fundamental problem. The Lanjiang River is still flooding every year. No matter how strong the dam is, it will only be less damaged. The people are still miserable. ”

Mr. Chu stared at the Qinglong Dam and the Lanjiang River on the paper thoughtfully: "What kind of embankment does Your Highness want to build?" How can Your Highness guarantee that the dam built this time will protect the people along the coast from disaster? ”

Xiao Yuan nodded confidently: "I can guarantee it!" ”

After she inspected the Lanjiang River, she found that the Lanjiang River was similar to the ancient Yellow River.

When Xiao Yuanhao was studying water conservancy and flood control and flood control engineering, he specifically consulted various ancient methods for preventing and controlling the Yellow River, among which several types of dikes were mentioned, which aroused Xiao Yuanhao's interest.

Xiao Yuanhao also called up all the information on these kinds of dikes at that time and studied them with great interest, so she was particularly impressed.

Mr. Chu was confused.

He has lived for more than 50 years, and he thinks that he has seen many smart people, so he said that Qi Jing, the imperial historian in the court, is a smart person who knows the past and the present. But Rao is like this, Mr. Chu dares to say that Qi Jing's knowledge and horizons are not as broad as the childish child in front of him.

The biological mother of the tenth princess, the queen, is an extremely intelligent and strange woman.

Could it be that the wisdom of Her Royal Highness the Tenth Princess is inherited from the first queen?

Mr. Chu shook his head secretly, it's impossible, this is a little too smart, it's just a lot of wisdom.

He stared at Xiao Yuan's good-looking eyes for a long time, but he didn't know that this long and meaningful look made the little disciple sitting opposite break out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Yuanhao almost wanted to run away.

Mr. Chu's eyes were really creepy.

Did he see that she was not the Ten Princesses at all, but a lonely ghost from some time and space in the future?

Xiao Yuan bit the tip of her tongue, and the pain made her barely calm down.

No, she has tried it, Mr. Chu doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, in Mr. Chu's eyes, she is a genius that is rare in a century.

No, Mr. Chu is now feeling in his heart how smart she is.

Xiao Yuanhao quickly let go of his clenched fist, and pretended to smile easily: "Sir? ”

Mr. Chu came back to his senses, glanced at the thin Qinglong Dam on the paper again, and said lightly: "What kind of embankment does Her Royal Highness the Princess want to build?" ”

Xiao Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Mr. Chu is a staunch atheist.

She quickly took back the pamphlet that was placed in front of Mr. Chu: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell Mr. when I've thought about it!" ”

I have talked enough with Mr. Chu today, and if I continue to talk about it, Xiao Yuan really thinks that he will show his feet.

She quickly put on her pearlescent shoes and hurried out the door, and her small figure flashed by and quickly disappeared into the night.

Mr. Chu smiled dumbly: "This kid, I said that I would give the booklet to me!" ”
