Chapter 144: Digging a ditch and digging a river

Wu Jiuze looked at Shu Qingai, who was younger than his sister, and his mother calling each other sisters, and frowned, this little woman is really informal!

Haojiang Restaurant is the restaurant where Mrs. Wu invited Shu Qingai last time, where the two women bought drunk. When a few people arrived, Wu Yuan and a few servants were already waiting here, because Wu Yuan still reaped a lot of benefits after investigating the Jucai Gambling House today, and several loyal subordinates at the bottom also made Lord Wu a good reward, and they had already drunk in the Haojiang Restaurant.

A few people came to the box that had already been booked, and the little two in the store began to serve food. Shu Qingai looked at it in turn, the dishes on this table were all delicacies from the mountains and seas.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the victims outside were hungry, and these officials, wealthy families, were as comfortable and comfortable as their lives.

After a while, Wu Yuan came in with a red face drunk, and when Mrs. Wu saw this, she couldn't help but reproach and nag!

"Come on, happy today! That knife master has been rampant in Pingyang County for decades, and this official thinks that it is a headache! is still Shu Niangzi, this shot is to make the evil sword master carry his head! This afternoon, when I was trying to deal with those people who gathered money in the gambling house, the people of Pingyang County applauded again and again! You also call me the master of the blue sky! Madam, it's a face to be a husband today! ”

As soon as Wu Yuan came in, he began to count today's good things, and he didn't treat Shu Qingai as an outsider at all!

Mrs. Wu smiled helplessly.

"Come on, since you were born as a parent official, of course you have to do something practical for the people, you were wasted in the past years, and now it's not too late for you to wake up."

After the words fell, Mrs. Wu looked at Wu Jiuze on the left again, with a serious face.

"Ze'er is the same, although you have a father who is the county magistrate, but you must know that you are born as a man, and your mother has said this many times, but today's events, my mother still hopes that you can remember it. There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people! If my mother can't come up with the 10,000 taels of silver today, I'm afraid you won't even have your life now. Father and mother will grow old one day, and those who can fight you will have to rely on themselves. ”

Shu Qingai silently picked up the teacup and pecked gently. She suddenly realized that she was a little embarrassed!

"The child remembers his mother's teachings, and in the future, he will not oppress the people, live in darkness, and disgrace his father and mother!"

Wu Yuan smiled heartily! He had waited too long for this day. His wife's words are very right, in those years, he jumped into the dragon gate, from a poor scholar to a county parent official, he did feel a little fluttering.

Looking back on these years, I really haven't done anything good for those people! Looking at Shu Qingai, who was sitting in the new year, he was young, and he also spoke out with a female stream of the farmer's family, he knew that for the sake of the people, as a parent official, he held the court's money, but he was still angry with the people! It's a bit of a jerk!

"Okay, it's all my own family today, Madame's words, Ze'er and I both keep it in mind! In the future, you must be good, and you will not be a bastard! ”

As he spoke, he asked the maid behind him to fill the table with wine. After the words fell, he stood up, put the wine glass in his hand and looked at Shu Qingai.

"Shu Niangzi, this generation of Wu respects you! Your help to Wu's wife, as well as Wu's help, and today's dog's matter, Wu will remember it! This cup, Wu will do it first as a respect! ”

When the words fell, Wu Yuan just raised his head and killed him.

Shu Qingai also picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Wu Jiuze hurriedly picked up the wine jug, personally poured a full wine glass for his father, and walked to Shu Qingai's side to fill Shu Qingai's love.

"Thank you, Young Master Wu."

"Miss Shu is so polite, just call me by my name."

Shu Qingai nodded with a smile, and when she saw that Wu Jiuze was about to pick up the wine glass, she hurriedly opened her mouth to stop it.

"I don't treat you as outsiders today, I'll drink this wine later, I have an important matter, I want to discuss it with you, Lord Wu."

Wu Yuan saw Shu Qingai's serious expression, and couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and straighten his sitting posture.

"Shu Niangzi, please will."

Shu Qingai sorted out the language before she spoke.

"I heard from my wife that Lord Wu has been looking for water recently, but he has been returning in vain day by day."

Wu Yuan nodded, and looked at Shu Qingai with bright eyes.

"Mo is not Shu Niangzi, what good ideas do you have?"

Shu Qingai shook her head, and Wu Yuan's bright eyes obviously dimmed a little.

"Actually, I don't have any good ideas, just a more complicated and troublesome idea, but if this matter is done well, in the eyes of the people, Lord Wu will do a great thing for the benefit of the people and the country! If this idea is not approved by the emperor, there is actually no loss, at least you can fight for a chance to show your face in front of the emperor. ”

Wu Yuan was immediately excited! That's a great thing! Even if the good deeds for the benefit of the country and the people are not done, it is enough to let the emperor know that he is a Pingyang parent official who has always been doing things for the people!

Mrs. Wu was also excited immediately! My husband's career has come to this point, but it still doesn't improve, if he can be promoted, who wouldn't want to?

"Qingqing, don't sell it, what kind of good thing is it, let's talk about it."

Mrs. Wu immediately put down her chopsticks and looked at Shu Qingai expectantly.

Shu Qingai looked at the excitement in the eyes of the husband and wife, then at Wu Jiuze with curiosity, there was no other abnormality, and then at the other people in the room.

"Qingyu, you take them all down, don't let people get close."

Qingyou respectfully received the order, and took the maids in the house out of the box one by one, and guarded them strictly at the door.

"Okay, I'm not going to sell it anymore, in fact, I've been thinking that even if it rains, if there is a drought like Dao in the future, then we will have to suffer in the southwest. Instead of this, it's better to think of a way and do it once and for all! Let the people of the southwest never look at the sky to eat again! ”

"What do you mean?"

Wu Yuan's heart was moved! He felt that the day when he really came out of the woods was not far off! I couldn't wait to ask.

"Dig a ditch and dig a river!"

Shu Qingai said a few words seriously, suddenly! There was silence in the room!

After a long while, Wu Yuan's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Shu Niangzi, there must be a place to divert water to dig a canal and dig a river, there is a big river Wujiang in the southwest, and the Wujiang River almost surrounds the southwest area, and the nearest water source to the Wujiang River is also a hundred miles away, it is really difficult to dig the river!"

Shu Qing loved to think about Ling'er's words, and couldn't help but cheer herself up!

"Things are man-made, the reason why the Wujiang River will dry up in a year of drought is because it is just a circulating riverside, although there are many lakes along the way, but the terrain is complex, if the water level drops to a certain extent, the water can not be circulated at all, and it can only become a pool of stagnant water! And what we have to do is to lead the water source hundreds of miles away to the Wujiang River, and from the other end of the Wujiang River, to another big river, preferably to the capital! This will not only solve the drought and flood problem, but also make the water transportation in the southwest region extend in all directions! At the same time, it can also drive the economy of the southwest region! ”

Shu Qingai's words are finished! The silence in the whole room was audible! Wu Yuan was not excited, his whole person felt his blood boiling!

What Shu Qingai said is not wrong at all! The Wujiang River is a backwater in the southwest! If it is connected, the people in the southwest will no longer have to worry about drought and floods!

In addition, the Wujiang River can also connect to the Red River, which is the largest leap, and goes straight to Kyoto! This is a great thing for the benefit of the people!

If this is done, he will not only have a bright career! Even the annals of history will make a big contribution to themselves! The more he thought about it, the more excited Wu Yuan became! It's already a bit of a restlessness! He can't wait to make a decision on this matter immediately!

"Shu Niangzi is really a heroine among women! Rare! It's a pity that it's a daughter! If Shu Niangzi is a man! He must be a good official who works for the welfare of the people and creates the people! ”

Wu Yuan looked at Shu Qingai's eyes again, and it was no longer as normal as usual! The child has replaced it with a kind of worship and respect! He Wu Yuan really hasn't admired anyone in his life, Shu Qingai is the first!

"Lord Wu is wonderful, this matter is easy to say, but difficult to do! The reason why I sent everyone out is, of course, I know that if this thing is done, it will bring a lot of benefits to Lord Wu and me for a long time! ”

Wu Yuan nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Indeed, I'm just a county magistrate, if I want to do this, there is a prefect above, and there are countless people watching it, I'm afraid that there is no letter on this matter, and someone will have to rob the credit!"

Even if Mrs. Wu is a woman, she knows the twists and turns, but she can't think of any way for a while, so she can't help pinning her hopes on Shu Qingai.

"Qingqing, what can you do?"

Shu Qingai picked up the teacup and was appraising, but she was also a little confused.

"I have a friend, if he is willing to help, he can help to hand the words to the emperor, but this kind of overstepping the prefect, the prefect has a lot of things to do to pursue his Lord Wu, I'm afraid it is still difficult to do. The most important thing now is to let the prefect know about Lord Wu's plan, and not to let him know it thoroughly, and to make him express severe opposition to this matter! It would be better to have a strong witness to see it again! If this matter is accomplished, the credit will naturally fall to Lord Wu. ”

When Lord Wu heard this, his eyes lit up instantly!

"It just so happens that in two days, the emperor will send a minister of the imperial court to the palace, and I will be able to raise this matter in front of all the ministers, and the prefect will definitely veto it in front of him at that time!" The rest of the matter depends on Shu Niangzi. ”

Shu Qingai is also eye-catching! Although she is only a small landlord and businessman now, she still has a long way to go, and she must find a strong backer for herself!

The biggest backer in ancient times, of course, was the emperor! As long as this matter is done in front of the emperor, she is not afraid of those powerful people who use their power to oppress people in business or something!

"Good! Our hole card is, 100,000 catties of grain in my warehouse, and 1 million taels of silver! As an individual, as long as the imperial court agrees to this matter, I am willing to donate it free of charge. This matter, as far as the people we are present know, we must not let others know, only with this hole card, the emperor will be obliged to agree! ”

The three people in the room were dumbfounded again!

The three members of the Wu family looked at Shu Qingai, but they were just a village girl! It's a million taels of silver! What a boldness!

Even Wu Jiuze, who has always been a gentleman, couldn't help but look at Shu Qingai solemnly! She really shocked him!
