After the two rode forward for about a quarter of an hour, they finally came to the front of the flood control embankment, Dongfang Lingluo said: "Three princes, this is the flood control embankment, about five miles long and about one zhang high. ”

The third prince stared at the flood control levee and said, "This flood control levee has played a heavy role in the past few years?"

On this embankment, fine cracks have appeared, and moss has grown, which is the flood control levee that is more than ten miles long, three feet high, impregnable, and can be used for a hundred years mentioned in the report that year?

Back then, the second prince asked the imperial court for so much material allocation, so he built this kind of muddy wall?

Dongfang Lingluo said: "In the past six years, there has been no serious flood in the Yellow River, and this embankment has prevented flooding. ”

The third prince said again: "How much silver did you say it cost to build this embankment?"

Dongfang Lingluo smiled bitterly in his heart, he really didn't want to answer this kind of question or want to fool the past, but he was the most successful businessman in the world, it was impossible not to know the cost of this building, and if he wanted to lie in front of the third prince, it was tantamount to asking for his own death.

Therefore, he had to think about it seriously and said, "According to the price of six years ago, it should be about 500,000 taels of silver." ”

500,000 taels? The third prince sneered in his heart, the price reported by the second prince back then, but the sky-high price of millions, what a big appetite! However, this is the expected answer, he knows the matter of the second prince very well!

He deliberately said: "When the second brother was in the disaster, he asked the court for forty or fifty million taels of silver, and he thought that all the money would be used to resettle the victims elsewhere, and he didn't care about rebuilding this place. Master Hou, did you say yes?"

Forty or fifty million? Dongfang Lingluo sneered in his heart, the second prince extorted more than 10 million taels of silver from his family before and after in the name of disaster relief, and he remembered this account, but he also got benefits from the second prince later.

It's just that these two princes are greedy and ruthless, if they become emperors, it will be a blessing for the country and the people, as for the three princes in front of him, he is too young and has not had much contact, and he has not seen through it yet.

At that moment, he said cautiously: "The second prince's strategy and actions, how can Ling Luo understand." Ling Luo only knows that as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, it is good, and whatever is harmful to the country and the people is bad. ”

The third prince laughed: "It is very good! Whatever is good for the country and the people is good, and whatever is harmful to the country and the people is bad! Then do you like the good or the bad?"

Dongfang Lingluo immediately said: "Of course I like it." ”

The third prince smiled even more happily: "I also like the good ones! The bad ones are better to eliminate them!"

"Quack-quack-quack-" At this moment, several crows chirped and flew over the sky, dropping a few droppings of bird droppings and falling on his clothes.

Dongfang Lingluo hurriedly took off his coat: "Third Prince, this crow is ignorant and has soiled your clothes, please change into my clothes for the time being." ”

The third prince waved his hand: "Do you say this crow is good or bad?"

Dongfang Lingluo said: "Crows have been hoodoos since ancient times, but all dirty places are where they gather, which is really disgusting. Especially Shicai also stained the prince's clothes, of course it is not good. ”

The third prince said: "Since it is not good, what is the use of keeping it?"
