Chapter 721: It's Really Me!

Qiu Ming looked at the wine bowl in front of him, just now Yu said to drink some turbid wine, but he didn't expect it to be really turbid wine, and there was obviously a filtering process missing.

I took it and tasted it, it tasted good, a little sweet and sour, it should be fruit wine, and there was also some spiritual power in it, which was definitely very tonic for ordinary people to drink, but Qiu Ming could only use it as a drink to quench his thirst.

There are two ways to make those wild meats, one is roasted, smeared with some grass juice and salt, and the meat tastes a little fishy, but unfortunately this is a good wild boar leg.

The other is boiling, put it in a clay pot, and some grass blades or something as a seasoning, and the taste of cooking is also not good.

At first glance, Qiu Ming chose to be vegetarian, some raw wild fruits and vegetables, at least the taste will not be too strange.

Seeing that Qiu Ming left without eating, Yu was even more sure that Qiu Ming should have come from a big tribe and thought that the taste of what he made at home was not good enough.

After returning home, Qiu Ming asked Xiao Qian to get some food and a tooth sacrifice, and ate those bad foods, which made him very unhappy.

It was also at this time that Emperor Shun was discussing with the ministers in the palace that the flood could not be cured, but who should be sent. Ministers, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to take the initiative to ask for help.

Before Yu's father, Kun's method of controlling the water was the best way they could think of, but as a result, manpower and material resources were not used less, but the floods broke out every year, and finally Kun was exiled and died in a foreign land.

"Everyone thinks about it, whoever can manage the flood well is a great achievement, and the people in the world will thank him, and this king can even allow the people to build a shrine for him!"

Jiansheng Temple, then this person's prestige among the people will rise sharply, and there is hope to inherit the position of Emperor Shun in the future. The position of the leader, but the capable person occupies it, of course, what is most needed is the support of the people.

However, since Emperor Shun gave such good conditions, if anyone fails to cure the flood after receiving the order, the result may be worse than Kun.

The two ministers glanced at each other, didn't Kun's son be very famous once, and he also learned to control floods with Kun, why don't you just use him? It just so happened that Kun was also exiled because of their complaint, and if they could kill Yu again this time, they would be able to sit back and relax.

What if Yu happens to cure the flood? Then they can also fall into the reputation of recommending virtuous ministers, and they can also make Yu grateful to them, and they will not suffer left and right, not to mention that the fact that they were sent to deal with the flood is gone.

"Wang, the minister recommended Yu to control the water, Yu is the son of Kun, grew up by the water since he was a child, and also has his own views on the management of floods. And being humble, courteous, living simply, and doing things seriously will definitely cure the flood. Boyi stood up and said.

Hou Ji immediately stood up: "The minister also thinks that Yu is very suitable, Yu has been smart since he was a child, and his virtue and ability are above Kun, not to mention that he is still a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, he will definitely cherish this opportunity given to him by the king." ”

Boyi almost ran out of words that could be praised, but Hou Ji took out Kun again to make a comparison, and asked Emperor Shun to agree to send Yu to control the water.

As soon as the other ministers saw that these two said this, they immediately understood, and then reconsidered, and jointly elected Yu to take on the big responsibility. Anyway, don't assign this kind of work to them, no one wants to run all day, how comfortable it is to stay at home.

"Okay, then appoint Yu to control the water. It's just that Yu is young after all, Boyi and Houji, two virtuous ministers, you go to assist Yu to control the water together and help allocate manpower and material resources. ”

Boyi and Houji never thought that they still couldn't escape the drudgery of water control, and in their minds, this errand was definitely thankless.

But Emperor Shun has already given an order, and none of the other ministers has spoken for them at this time, what else can they do? If someone else was named, the two of them would definitely not be silent, lest they take this matter on themselves.

……

Yu is newly married, he is still in a good mood, he has a good wife, he has a lot of strength, he can farm, he can hunt, and he doesn't have to worry about life at home.

It's just that he still goes to the river every day, as if the water has risen again in the past two days, and if this continues, there will definitely be floods again this year.

I don't know if there is anyone to govern, since my father was exiled, it seems that this matter has been hanging in the air. Although Emperor Shun did a very good job in the development of agriculture, if the floods were not controlled, the crops would always be flooded, and everyone's life would not be much improved.

A man rode a horse and came quickly: "Yu, go home quickly, two adults came over, saying that they were looking for you to have something." ”

Yu ran home, still thinking along the way, what did the two adults do at his house? When I got home, I saw that he still knew these two people, and they used to be the ones who assisted his father in controlling the water.

"Yu, the king ordered you to take over your father's control of the world's floods, and you must not live up to the king's trust. If you need anything, just ask, we will find it for you, and there must be no more floods this year! Boyi looked at Yu, and he was also on guard in his heart, Yu would not suddenly burst out and do something to them, after all, Kun's exile was also related to them.

As long as there are no more floods this year, the two of them will be considered meritorious, and then they will be able to find a way to find someone to replace their errand. If there were such a big flood this year, they would be in danger, and it was unlikely that Yu would be exiled so quickly, and at least one of the two of them would be responsible for it.

Yu was stunned, the king actually ordered him to deal with the flood, is this true?

Before his exile, his father had told him that he regretted that he had not been able to cure the flood and that he would continue to suffer and that he would inherit it in the future and cure the flood.

At that time, he thought that he would not have this opportunity, and even thought that if he continued to control the floods, he would join in even if he was a citizen and fulfill his father's last wish.

But now that he had become the person in charge of the matter, he was overjoyed: "I will certainly live up to the king's trust, and I will certainly try to heal the flood and prevent people from suffering." ”

"Okay, you get ready, and come with us to the king at once."

I didn't expect it to be so fast, Yu's lips moved, and he wanted to tell Bo Yi that he only married a wife three days ago. But there is a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he can't shirk it.

"Okay, but before I go, I'll get ready."

Boyi thought that Yu was going to say goodbye to his wife, and nodded: "Hurry up, don't let Wang wait for a long time." ”

Who knew that Yu didn't say anything to his wife at all, but ran out directly and ran to a mound not far from his house.

"Brother Qiu Ming, Brother Qiu Ming, are you at home? The king has commanded me to heal the waters, and I need your help!" ”

Hearing the shouts coming from outside the door, Qiu Ming pushed open the door and walked out: "Is the order down?" Go ahead, and I'll go to you when you start curing the waters. ”
