Chapter 470: With You

After resting for a few days, Qi Junqing's body and mind were able to relax a lot, and he was full of energy on the way to the morning court, and the steps under his feet were still carrying the wind.

"Is King Ruxian a happy event today, why does it look different from the past?" He said in a strange manner, and immediately dusted off his wide cuffs.

The mood for being in a very good mood has not become very good after meeting him.

Qi Junqing remained silent, as if he hadn't heard his words, and left the person dry for a while, before he turned his head and glanced at him unhurriedly, "This king has always been like this, I'm afraid that Prince Xin thinks too much." ”

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the temple.

I don't know what's going on with this person today, but he didn't stop, but he was stopped before he could take two steps. Because this is the majesty of the Heavenly Dao, it is not appropriate to do anything clearly, so he only frowned slightly.

"King Ruxian is afraid that last night's Spring Festival tent is warm and beautiful people are in his arms, but since he is in the last dynasty, he must pay attention to some appearance." Qi Xiangtian smiled at the corners of his mouth, deliberately lowered his voice, and when he passed by him, he didn't forget to glance meaningfully at his neck, and his disdain immediately overcame him.

"This is left by the princess of this king, you should only be envious." Qi Junqing didn't hide it, but looked straight ahead.

Immediately reached out and straightened the placket, deliberately pulled it down, and looked like "look, I have you or not". When Jiang Hejing went out this morning, he explained a few words, if someone asks about the mark on his neck, don't pay attention to it, just sprinkle dog food, although I don't know why this is called "sprinkle dog food", but it should still be done.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Qi Junqing's mouth, and he strode towards the hall. In a moment, the bright yellow figure sat upright on a high seat, his face full of majesty, and his whole body exuded the spirit of the Son of Heaven.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers are in the same way.

The emperor raised his eyes, and the mustache at the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, "Flat." ”

After that, the governors of the provinces took turns to report the recent situation in the locality, and the first few people were all smiling when they came up, and the recent decree of the upper authorities was enlightened, and there was a subsidy every year for the tax revenue, so it is no wonder that they were so happy. When it came time for the Jiangnan governor to report, everyone saw him with a sad face and described him as very haggard.

"Your Majesty, the matter in Jiangnan can't be delayed," he knelt on his knees, "the flood has flooded the crops, and I'm afraid it won't be long before the people can't eat." ”

Although the governor said lightly, in fact, many people in Jiangnan have died in the flood, that is, the water has been fierce in the past few days, the number of casualties is increasing day by day, and the scene of mourning is really distressing.

When the emperor heard this, he said slowly, "Aiqing will calm down first, and I will remember this matter." ”

The ministers bowed their heads and were silent, and everyone in their hearts knew that this kind of thing was a hot potato, and they had to take care of it to the end, not to mention how to cure the flood, it was difficult to stop the panic of the people. Thinking about it like this, the ministers were all silent, and there was silence in the courtroom, which was extremely depressing.

"Jiangnan has been flooded again and again recently, what good way can Zhong Aiqing do, it doesn't hurt to say it." The emperor asked in a deep voice, his eyes hooked directly on the ministers and princes standing below.

This words are like a heavy boulder, straight on the chest of these people, the previous dynasties need to pay a lot of money to control the floods, the effect is still not very obvious, only when the flood season is over, the people can live in peace, this is if there is no good way, for the courtiers do not dare to go to the premise, for fear of having more mouths.

It was Qi Junqing's calm eyes, and he stood up in a daze.

"Father, this matter may as well be handed over to the son-in-law, the son-in-law has been to the Jiangnan area before, and he also has a certain understanding of the world, people, and geography there." As soon as the words fell, he raised his resolute face.

It's time to do something serious when you've rested enough, and now is a good opportunity to show your ability, if you don't work hard to seize it, I'm afraid that someone else will take the lead.

The emperor cast an approving look, his face swept away with embarrassment and displeasure, and he was about to say a few words, but one of them spoke first.

"Father, since King Ruxian intends to control the water, the sons and daughters also have the courage to recommend themselves, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, and there are many people, and it may be difficult for one person to deal with the water." Qi Xiangtian immediately stood up, glancing at the person next to him, intentionally or unintentionally.

I can't secretly think in my heart, I can't hold my breath so soon, and I want to be in the limelight? There is also a reason why he thinks so, in his heart, Qi Junqing seems to be able to do everything well.

This time, others avoided it, but King Ruxian stood up first, if he didn't hurry up and follow, wouldn't it be a little unreasonable?

"The two princes have the heart to serve the imperial court, I am really very pleased, and now I have appointed King Ruxian as the commander-in-chief of the water control, and Prince Xin will assist in the water control, with you two here, I should be relieved." The emperor's tone couldn't help but raise slightly, and although the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiling, they were majestic.

Qi Junqing replied: "Thank you, father, my son, I will do my best to cure the flood." ”

After that, Qi Xiangtian also thanked him, and his eyes kept glancing to the other side, as if he was afraid of missing the person's every move. Qi Junqing naturally felt the gaze cast over, but he didn't bother to glance back.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, the emperor waved his hand and retreated, and the father-in-law who followed behind him hurriedly picked up a thick pile of folds and followed him to the imperial study.

As soon as he left the palace gate, a hand climbed on his shoulder, "What's the matter, Prince Xin still has something?" Qi Jun opened his mouth quietly, and said coldly, this person is really full of food and idle today.

"It's okay, Jiangnan controls the water, and I ask King Ruxian to mention a little more." Qi Xiangtian raised his eyes and looked at the glazed tiles above the palace wall, and only took a step after a while.

Looking at his figure gradually moving away, Qi Junqing couldn't help but walk towards the palace gate, I don't know what the hell this Prince Xin is paying attention to, today Allah moved to ask for help, no matter what he thinks, he must be more vigilant.

It was already noon when he returned to the house, and Jiang and Jing ordered people to set up a meal, and then pulled him to sit at the table of the eight immortals. During this period, he told her in detail about this morning's affairs, and unexpectedly, she immediately shouted that she wanted to go to Jiangnan with her.

"You don't have to worry about leaving me alone in this house? How about I promise not to trouble you when I go? Jiang Youjing blinked, tugged at his sleeve and shook it twice.

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Junqing finally nodded, firstly, he really didn't feel at ease about leaving her in the mansion, and secondly, he couldn't bear her guarding the empty room. They won't be able to come back in a few months, and neither of them wants to endure the pain of lovesickness.

In this way, the three of them set off together early the next morning, and arrived in Jiangnan five days later. It turns out that Jiang and Jing did not cause trouble to people, but brought unexpected surprises, but this is a story for later.

As soon as they arrived in Jiangnan, the three of them saw that the shops on the street were all closed, and the people on the street were in a hurry, with sad faces, and a decadent atmosphere permeated the city, as if the two of them were out of breath.

When you go down to the village, the scene is even more terrifying. The fields were flooded, and a few low houses on high ground stood alone, surrounded by a few crumbling saplings, which looked like they had just been planted.

The three of them walked for a while before someone came out of the house. Qi Junqing stepped forward to ask a few words, and the old woman who was on crutches and hobbled had a gloomy face and a blank look.

After asking a few words, I learned that the recent floods have washed away all the food, and the people living in the lower places in the village are even more miserable, and some of them have lost their lives, and the survivors lack food and clothing, and their lives are in a mess. After hearing this, he sent someone and left some food for the old woman, and the three of them hurried to the place where they stayed, and they didn't care about resting, so they directly put the map of Jiangnan on the table.

After a few days of field research, Qi Junqing focused on the east and south.

At first, all she could think of was to build a wall and build sandbags on the riverbank, but there was far more rain in this area than she had imagined, and this idea was dismissed.

"If you think about it, this can only solve the urgent need, if there is another flood in the next year, won't it come again?" Qi Junqing scratched her head helplessly, and her tone was full of helplessness.

She drooped her head and leaned on the hard bed, "This can't do this, that can't work, no matter how hesitant you are, the people will soon die." After speaking, he looked at the two people in front of him and stopped talking.

I wondered if Qi Junqing shouldn't take care of this matter, what kind of porcelain work would he have if he didn't have a diamond?

The room was silent, after thinking for a while, Jiang Hejing jumped up from the bed, grabbed the map on the table and began to look at it carefully, the Qinhuai River is a tributary on the right side of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through Wuzhong, Jiaxing, Yuhang and other places......

"I've got a way!" Excited, she pulled the two of them to the map.

Qi Xiangtian yawned, Mu Ran stared at the drawings in front of him, and didn't see anything, but Qi Junqing's eyes flashed, and then the fox looked at the excited person next to him suspiciously.

"You see, these two rivers pass through Jiangnan and Kyoto, so that we can take advantage of this 'South-to-North Water Diversion' project, and we are still afraid that the flood will not be successful?" She made a few strokes on the drawing.

Confused by her thoughts, Qi Junqing slowly looked at her side and asked seriously, "What is the 'South-to-North Water Diversion'?" There was a lot of confusion between the words.

Qi Yingtian's reaction was similar to his, and he didn't quite understand what she was saying.

The waving hand suddenly stopped, Jiang Youjing turned around, and then realized where he was, it was understandable that these ancient people did not understand the famous 'South-to-North Water Diversion' project.

Ignoring the line for the time being, she turned around and explained: "The so-called south-to-north water diversion is a literal transfer, which transfers water from the south to the north, which can not only solve the flood problem, but also alleviate the water urgency of the people in the north, the best of both worlds!" ”

After hearing her passionate statement, Qi Junqing couldn't help but cast an interested and appreciative gaze, he couldn't imagine that she could come up with such a different method as a woman, not to mention whether this method was useful or not, it was already very powerful to be able to put it forward.
