Yan Xiaofeng would not meet the officials at the dinner table, and got up to leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at the two people who were being fed and fed, and his eyes darkened a little.

Waiting for him to leave, Yan Ruyue dared to speak loudly, "Squeak, did you feel cold just now?" ”

Yan Squeaky felt it seriously and shook his head, "It's not cold, it's hot." ”

She grabbed her chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of chicken for Yan Ruyue, "Sister, eat a little more, and it won't be cold." ”

Yan Ruyue ate it deliciously.

After a while, the sound of conversation outside came.

The two people who were eating looked the same, and their movements were also the same, tilting their heads and moving their ears.

Yan squeaked vaguely heard the words 'waterwheel', and thought of the young man he met on East Street, and was immediately very curious.

I wanted to listen, but I was reluctant to listen to the food in front of me, so the little doctor had an idea, stuffed a lot of food into the bowl, and then held the big porcelain bowl and quietly ran behind the curtain, eavesdropping while eating.

Yan Ruyue imitated her movements.

The sisters stood behind the curtain and eavesdropped.

The sound of rustling reached Yan Xiaofeng's ears, and he inadvertently glanced at it and paused.

In the field of vision, two heads, one big and one small, stared at him, and they didn't forget to chew food in their mouths, and their cheeks were bulging.

Take a closer look, Yan Ruyue was eating in the sky above her daughter, as if a grain of rice had fallen into Yan's squeaky hair.

A certain emperor's mood suddenly became unhappy.

The Shaofu Ling who was reporting was unaware of it, and his eyebrows were almost flying, "This waterwheel is suitable for high-lying places, especially those mountainous areas, in this way, there are more places that can be cultivated, and the harvest of the mountainous state capital is also high, and we have successfully made a ......."

After talking about the waterwheel, Shaofu Ling couldn't help but say, "The father of the Shaofu Cheng you appointed once studied the keel waterwheel, which is suitable for flat irrigation, and when we study it and then promote it, the harvest in many places may rise this year." ”

He calculated very well, the twilight of spring has passed, more than half of the state capitals have completed spring ploughing, and the rest of the places are also in spring ploughing because of the climate. After spring ploughing, irrigation should be considered, and as long as they study it in time, they can extend the keel waterwheel to the plains. And the watermill that has been studied can be immediately promoted to the mountainous state capital.

Behind the drapery.

Yan squeaked and muttered: "This adult is so familiar with farming, it's amazing." ”

She once secretly inquired with Sun Rongfa, and the young eunuch of Dacheng was mainly responsible for the affairs of the hundred crafts, court clothes, and coins.

But what this young government commander said right now seems to have little to do with the responsibilities of the young government supervisor.

Above her head, Yan Ruyue also muttered, "Yes, like agriculture and water conservancy, aren't they under the control of the Ministry of Industry?" However, this waterwheel seems to be a powerful thing, and it is good to let the young government supervisor who obeys the royal order study first. ”

Yan squeaked up his little head and said seriously, "Doesn't the Ministry of Works listen to Daddy?" ”

"Well," Yan Ruyue didn't really know, but her sister's eyes were shining at her, how could she show her timidity, "It should be related to the fight between officials." ”

She touched her non-existent beard with one hand and made an unfathomable appearance, "Listen to my brother, Dacheng's alliance with the party is very serious, and he almost set up the emperor's grandfather before." Now that Uncle Huang has only ascended the throne, the treasury is empty,......"

"Ahem!"

The deliberate coughing sound woke Yan Ruyue up.

She was like a frightened rabbit, first looked at Sun Rongfa, who was deliberately coughing to remind her, and then looked at the emperor who was indistinguishable from anger on his face, and had the urge to run away.

Yan squeaks the opposite.

She used her clever little brain to come to a conclusion.

Someone bullied Daddy!

Holding the big porcelain bowl, she ran to the emperor's side, tilted her head, and said seriously, "Daddy, who bullied you?" And squeak and squeak, squeak and squeak them! ”

Yan Xiaofeng looked at the rice grains on her lips speechlessly.

A milk ball still has to stand up for him?

His heart was warm, but he said lightly, "No one can bully me, I am the lord of the world." ”

"Wow, that daddy is amazing!"

Yan Squeak praised seriously, and after praising Yan Xiaofeng's face a little softer, he asked again, "Then why did you let this adult study the waterwheel and not let the Ministry of Industry study it?" ”

Yan Xiaofeng was speechless, after all, his niece was indeed right.

A few zhang away, Shaofu Ling took the initiative to relieve the siege, "The minister is very interested in these." ”

This reason is far-fetched, but it is enough to make Yan Squeak, who doesn't know about it, believe it.

She didn't ask any more questions, holding the porcelain bowl, and stood beside Yan Xiaofeng to eat, her big eyes looked at Shaofu Ling from time to time, obviously very interested in what was going on.

Yan Xiaofeng thought of Shaofu Ling's origin, and raised his eyebrows, "You want to return to the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Shaofu Ling suddenly sweated, "The minister has no such intention." ”

"Return?"

Yan Squeak quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said curiously, "Did he work in the Ministry of Engineering before?" It's amazing. ”

Yan Xiaofeng suspects that her daughter will praise everyone she sees, and maybe when she sees a big yellow dog on the street, she will also praise in this tone.

The joy of being praised suddenly faded a little.

"He was the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry."

Yan Xiaofeng did not hide his dislike for the former emperor, "My father likes gorgeous palaces and gardens, and he has to find the most powerful person to build them for him, so he will be transferred to the Shaofu Prison." ”

As a courtier, this Shaofu Ling naturally has no qualifications to refuse. After that, he could only concentrate on building things that hurt the people and money for the first emperor, instead of studying agriculture and water conservancy.

In fact, the Shaofu Supervisor should also work together with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to govern the Arsenal Institute, but the first emperor had a novel idea from time to time, and the Shaofu Supervisor gradually lost the power to manage the Arsenal. It was the new emperor who ascended the throne, and he handed over the military weapons to the Shaofu supervision and jurisdiction without saying anything. This order also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and it is said that at that time, the two Shangshu declared that they were infected with illness and could not go to court.

Yan Squeak didn't understand the power struggle here, she glanced at her father's expression, and then at Shaofu Ling's expression, and muttered, "This is too wasteful." ”

Shaofu Ling was a little moved, and at this time, the emperor suddenly said, "When the dust settles on the waterwheel, how about I transfer you back to the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Shaofu Ling was surprised, "Your Majesty ......"

He definitely wants to go back, but the Ministry of Industry is still good now, where is the position for him?

Shaofu Ling did not consider the position of squire and other positions, he studied the waterwheel with the young man named Zhou Jixing, and he had no merit, even if he was not promoted, he would never be demoted. What's more, he suspected that the emperor had other plans, and letting him return to the Ministry of Works would definitely give him a certain amount of power.

"You need to answer me, but or no?"

Shaofu Ling said without hesitation: "Your Majesty is complete!" ”

Yan Squeak secretly glanced at Yan Xiaofeng, thinking that he was very quiet, "Daddy was so domineering just now!" ”

Yan Xiaofeng endured the heat at the base of his ears and asked about papermaking again.

This is also one of the purposes of Shaofu Ling's hurried arrival.
