"My lord, please see, this is a water conservancy map, the students have a plan, not to talk to you on the spur of the moment, the students feel that the locust removal and water conservancy are not contradictory, and they can be built together. ”

Zeng Qi said, took out a simple water conservancy map from his sleeve, unfolded it, and handed it to Qi Hongxin, who had turned to look at him.

At this time, some officials also gathered around, all of whom were curious.

There are bold people with good eyes, and they can even see the general appearance of Zeng Qishuitu.

Qi Hongxin only glanced at the water conservancy map, but did not look closely, and his gaze shifted from Zeng Qi to Su Ziji's face, with dissatisfaction and a trace of pain.

This gaze is like looking at a junior who has gone astray.

"Ridiculous!" Qi Hongxin frowned and scolded Zeng Qi: "Zi is silent, strange and chaotic, not his ghost but sacrifice, flattery, let alone use his politics?"

"You are not confused when you are old, and you are a person, don't you know the attitude of the saints towards ghosts and gods?

"The water conservancy map is a secret file of the government, and the government doesn't care where you got the water conservancy map, but the government must tell you that as an official and a scholar, you must not be administratively because of the words of ghosts and gods!"

This attitude is already a bit harsh.

Su Ziji was stunned, knowing that Qi Hongxin was suspicious, from the perspective of fairness, Qi Hongxin was really not messing around, but according to the logic of Confucianism.

I have long known that Qi Hongxin has a strong personality and is not so easy to be explained, and he has invested almost all his efforts in the matter of exterminating locusts, I am afraid that he is not the kind of person who will agree to build water conservancy at the same time as exterminating locusts.

After all, judging from the current weather, it is obvious that there is a drought, and it is said to prevent heavy rain and floods, which will feel nonsense to anyone who listens to it.

This is also the reason why it is necessary to use the Dragon Girl to pass on the dream, Qi Hongxin went to worship the Dragon Girl when he was desperate, and the Dragon Girl killed the so-called locust god, Qi Hongxin also knew about it, and he couldn't refute the existence of the Dragon Girl.

Su Ziji felt that Zeng Qi took out the water conservancy map, so that for the sake of this map, he could also consider it, but he didn't expect that it would be so strong and difficult to persuade!

"Lord Qi, what you said is unfair, can you deny that the dragon girl killed the locust god? That happened in front of everyone's eyes, not only the students saw it. ”

"The dragon girl is there, and if she is, how can she treat it as nonsense when she talks about dreams? If there is really a rainstorm coming, and there will be a flood at that time, what should the adults do? Is it like this, can only be remedied?"

Zeng Qi defended loudly, although he used honorific titles in every sentence, but this was really polite.

Su Ziji couldn't help but look sideways, although he arranged the trust himself, but this trust is too dedicated, and he contradicts the chief official of the first house, this is out of the way!

Cen Rubai stepped forward and whispered: "Zeng Qi and Duan Xiuwen, who was killed earlier, are both people, and they have always had dealings, and I heard that they also intend to recruit him as their son-in-law. ”

Su Ziji suddenly realized: "This is Qi Hongxin's strength, killing people without going through procedures, although it can be said that the people's rebellion is imminent and has to be dealt with, it also evil Shilin, and it has been counterattacked." ”

"Of course, at this time and that time, although they are both lifting people, Zeng Qi now thinks that the reason for repairing water conservancy for the people is ridiculous, but he can't deal with it. ”

"Even if you want to deprive Zeng Qi of his fame, you can't do it, Xuezheng will never allow it. ”

The quarrel between the two was seen by many people, and their hearts had their own thoughts.

In the crowd, there is a person who is not amazing, but a small official in the house, this time he followed Shangguan to do things, all relying on good memory and fast writing, and he can quickly record Shangguan's conversations.

And now, his eyes were staring at the unfolding water conservancy map in front of him without blinking, looking at it in his heart, and he quickly recorded it in his hand, the notebook that originally only recorded the conversation was flipped to the back, and all that was recorded was a simplified diagram of various points and lines.

Because everyone's attention was on the quarrelsome person, no one noticed the strangeness.

Qi Hongxin was angry by Zeng Qi's questioning, but Zeng Qi's words made many people feel angry, he looked at his heart and became even more angry, and said coldly: "This government has just said, as an official, the most taboo is to administer according to the words of ghosts and gods, this government doesn't care if what you say is true or false, this is a major government in the government, and you can't be involved." ”

"Even if you want to control the water, you have to investigate geography and astronomy, how can it be regarded as child's play?

"Stand down, or the government will punish you for the crime of incitement. ”

These words are very powerful, in a blink of an eye, Zeng Qi has become the opposite of the government and the scholars, seeing this, although Zeng Qi is also full of anger, he does not dare to make a mistake, so he has to bow down.

"Hmph, you can do it yourself!" Qi Hongxin won the victory, glanced at Su Ziji coldly again, flicked his sleeves, and left directly.

Seeing him like this, Su Ziji couldn't help but ponder: "Qi Hongxin's opposition is obviously not me, nor is it the construction of water conservancy, but the administration according to the words of the ghosts and gods?"

"It's a pity that I have too much fate with the Dragon Maiden. ”

The people present looked at each other, and they all showed a little dazed or puzzled.

And the depression in Qi Hongxin's heart is actually more than Su Ziji.

During the day, he had a cold face, and some children stopped crying, and at night, he drank at home.

Most of the deficit in the house has been filled, and there is not much silver left, Qi Hongxin is not hypocritical, and he will not even be able to eat meat, but at this time, he did not let his wife serve side dishes, just a plate of peanuts and a pot of sake.

Qi Zhou accompanied him, and when he saw that his husband was in a bad mood, he comforted him softly: "What is uncomfortable in my heart, why don't you listen to it with your concubine?"

was already in a panic, and he couldn't say a lot of things to others, but his wife persuaded him, which made Qi Hongxin sigh heavily: "Hey, you don't know, I'm very disappointed today." ”

Qi Hongxin frowned, as if he was indignant and sad.

"I'm old, I can't do much, I thought that the new Su Zi was the top student in the undergraduate, needless to say, and he was also very experienced in politics, especially to solve the deficit, it was a stroke of genius. ”

"That's okay, I value his proportions, whether he buys ducks, chickens or grain, it is in the name of the government, and he does not give it privately, and he is very honest. ”

"This kind of talented, powerful, and honest minister will have an unlimited future in the future, and he will be my great Zheng Dongliang and a good face in the future. ”

Unexpectedly, he was obsessed with the gods. ”

"That Zeng Qi, the mansion can see at a glance that he was instructed by Su Ziji and wanted to get involved in water conservancy. ”

"Su Ziji just wants to earn a credit for himself, the normal feeling of the official, if he wants to repair the water conservancy, the official will also seriously consider it, but he is obsessed with the gods and administers according to the words of the ghosts and gods, which is really a big flaw. ”

"Pity the night in the middle of the empty seat, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts, I'm old, he is young, so capable, maybe he can be the prime minister in the future, but according to the administration of ghosts and gods, ghosts and gods can use this to control the government, which is very troubleful!"

This is also the reason why Qi Hongxin decisively refused first regardless of whether the matter was true or false.

He didn't want Su Ziji to rely on ghosts and gods, go astray, and go farther and farther.
