Chapter 672: Houji's Second Test
Ji Wenming didn't expect that this person was actually not Houji's servant, but his neighbor, and couldn't help but complain: "It's not easy for Lord Houji to have such a neighbor, right?"
Hou Ji smiled: "The world is full of variety, just like there are thousands of kinds of flowers and plants, it is not good to ask for a standard, this person is not only greedy, love to come to my house to fight the autumn breeze, there are no other shortcomings, don't care about him, who are you, what are you doing in my house?"
Ji Wenming bowed and said: "I'm Yu, this time I came to the door to ask for advice on how to control the water!"
Of course, Hou Ji had heard of Ji Wenming's alias, so he was pleasantly surprised: "You are the Yu who controls the water in the Eastern Spirit Domain? Now your fame has spread to the north, I didn't expect to see it in person, and it is really a hero out of a young man! Let's go, let's talk in the house!"
Hou Ji was very enthusiastic, grabbed Ji Wenming's arm, pushed open the door and walked into the yard, at this time the houses are grass huts, Hou Ji's house is tall and tidy, under his guidance, the two of them went to the main house to sit, and there were people to prepare tea and soup, and put them in front of them.
Hou Ji drank a cup of tea, his throat was thirsty, and then he spoke: "The old man once mentioned you to me, and I also know about your past, but I only know that you are the descendant of Cangsheng, I don't know where you are from?
Ji Wenming thought about it for a while, Hou Ji is an old man's person, and he is also his own person, so he should not reveal his identity, so Lang Ran said: "I am a disciple of the Xia Hou clan, and my father is the head of the Xia Hou clan, my name is Ji Wenming, because of the inspiration of the teacher to control the water, I call myself Yu!
Hou Ji exclaimed: "The descendants of Uncle Kun still want to control the water? This is a place where it can be used! It's just that the Emperor of the People has always been suspicious of Uncle Kun, so you have to take care of it!"
Ji Wenming said: "I only control the water as Yu, and I can completely conceal the identity of the descendants of the Xia Hou clan!"
Hou Ji thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "This is the next policy, what kind of identity is the emperor, if you want to understand you, it only takes half a day, the eight generations of ancestors can know clearly, I suggest that you don't need to hide your identity, just control the water as the descendant of the Xia Hou clan, but you can use your strength to get the support of all clans!"
Ji Wenming thought that his father had a lot of grievances with various clans in the process of controlling the water, and he was worried......
Hou Ji said: "You came to me to treat the water?"
Ji Wenming nodded and said: "It is precisely for the purpose of controlling the water, the little nephew has a low status, and he wants to gather craftsmen and horses in Puban City to control the water, but no one knows my identity, and it is difficult to gather people!"
Hou Ji said: "Look, this is the importance of I want you to clarify your identity, although your father failed to control the water, but on the way to control the water, the merits are clear, although there are sacrifices, but they are all for the control of the water, from selflessness, in the control of the water, it is the first soldier, not afraid of hardships and dangers." From this point of view, I admire him! All the tribes of the Great Wilderness mention your father, and they all know his prestige for controlling the water, which is exactly what you should use to borrow your strength!"
Ji Wenming said worriedly: "Won't the human emperor be suspicious of me because of this?"
Hou Ji shook his head and smiled: "I don't know your true identity, don't you suspect you?? If you want to control the water, why hide your head and show your tail to make people ......laugh?
Ji Wenming didn't expect that the worry in his heart was nothing in Hou Ji's eyes, and he hit the nail on the head in a few words and solved the problem of identity......
He was taught by Hou Ji, and he also felt that what he said was reasonable, concealing his identity and not concealing his identity, the purpose of water control would not change, so there was no need to be afraid of Emperor Shun. So he bowed and saluted, "What Uncle Houji taught!
Over the years, I have helped all ethnic groups to cultivate agriculture, and I can be regarded as measuring the land of the great wilderness with my footsteps, and there are times when I help people resist floods, so I want to test you and control the water!"
Ji Wenming said respectfully: "I think if you want to control the flood of the Great Wilderness, you must clear the mountain, open the waterway, drain the siltation, and pass the key points!"
Hou Ji's eyes lit up and said, "These four sentences sound simple, but every sentence is fine, you are telling me in detail!"
These contents are Ji Wenming thought for a long time, he has been thinking about his own road to water control since he met his father, and now, he only needs to lay out the direct description, and talk eloquently: "Ming Shanshi is to understand and master the characteristics of the mountains and rivers, the waterway is to dig a channel so that the water can flow freely, and the drainage and siltation is to pour out the backlog of floods from all over the Great Wilderness along the waterway, so that there will be more large pieces of land, and the key point is to open up the key links, so that the flood can flow downstream!"
Hou Ji heard what he said, and couldn't help but ask: "There is so much water in the Great Wilderness, where do you want to send them?"
Ji Wenming pointed to the east and said: "Into the sea! The water tribe loves water, and the dragon tribe also needs water, and all the sedimentary floods are channeled into the sea, which is beneficial to both the human race and the water tribe, why not?"
Hou Ji nodded again and again and said, "What if the Water Clan and the Dragon Clan are not happy?"
Ji Wenming said calmly: "Then fight until they are happy!"
Hou Ji clapped his hands and praised: "Hahahaha, the virtuous nephew is polite! This method is much stronger than your father's method of locking the water source and not being able to do anything."
Hearing that Ji Wenming's words were quite in line with his heart, Hou Ji's attitude changed at this moment, and he actually began to call him a virtuous nephew, which shows that he has a little acceptance of him in his heart.
Ji Wenming was recognized, nodded again and saluted: "Actually, this method was also designed by my father!"
He didn't want his father to suffer an injustice and a death grievance, and everyone was ruined by the accumulation of gold, but after all, he was the father of Ji Wenming, and he still wanted to fight for his father's dignity.
Hou Ji was silent for a moment and said: "It is said that your father is stubborn and crazy and does not listen to people, it turns out that he also has a time to reflect on himself, he knew this is the case, why bother in the first place? If he continues to control the water, the flood can be calmed down!"
"It's a pity that time is running out!" the two sighed at each other, and they all regretted the success of Ji Kun.
Of course, it is precisely because Ji Kun reflected on himself and came up with a good plan to control the water, so Emperor Shun couldn't keep him.
Hou Ji changed the topic and said, "Since you already have a relatively clear plan for water control, why did you come to me today?"
Ji Wenming said respectfully: "First, I want to ask my uncle for guidance and improve the water control plan, and second, I want to ask my uncle to help me recruit craftsmen and horses, otherwise I will control the water alone, I am afraid that the progress will be delayed." ”
Hou Ji said with a smile: "You have someone who is the emperor to rule the water, stand firm in the righteousness of the world, as long as you do it properly, don't stir up the anger of the public, but you don't need to worry about other trivial matters, and you have to work hard to recruit people, but I can't help you too much, so as not to be suspicious!"
He was silent for a moment, then spoke, "I have a suggestion, Bo Fei is in charge of taming the beast, or can provide you with some leg strength, you may ask him for help." ”
Ji Wenming arched his hand and said, "Thank you uncle for your advice!"
Hou Ji said again: "I am in charge of farming, and all ethnic groups have harvested a lot recently, so I can provide you with some logistics materials, and when you gather all the people, you can come to me again!"
