Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1349 Famine and Natural Disaster 508
"master."

Stepping into the lobby, Chunmei turned around and bowed.

Mingyi glanced at the lobby. There were four people in the room: an old man, two middle-aged men and a young man. The old man had clear eyes, which was rare among the old people; as for the two middle-aged men, they had firm and confident eyes, and had their own style.

The young man was in his teens, with clear features and a gentle and decent manner.

"Miss Cheng, how are you?" The Ning family members stood up and bowed.

"No need to be polite, Princess Zhou has invited you to discuss the water conservancy issue at Pingyang Pass. You should have seen how desolate Pingyang Pass is along the way. It is a pity that the people cannot survive here."

The young man from the Ning family frowned.

The two middle-aged men seemed to be thinking about something, and the old man nodded in understanding, "Miss Cheng is right."

Then, nothing more happened.

Ming Yi's eyes were filled with emotion. "Mr. Ning, you have experience in water conservancy projects in the past. How do you think we can divert the canal to Pingyang Pass?"

Old Man Ning shook his head and sighed inaudibly. He saw that her eyes were firm and unusual, and she was not making fun of them. He weighed her position in the northwest and said, "I have learned about the topography of the northwest. The entire northwest is vast and sparsely populated, but rich in resources. When I came to the northwest, I passed by Pingyang Pass. After seeing the desolation of this place, I also felt it was a pity. If it is used, it will definitely be able to support a group of people."

"If we want to dig a canal to divert water and revitalize Pingyang Pass and even benefit the surrounding towns, we need to dig a canal from the Huoshui River opposite the big mountain in the east; the Huoshui River has abundant water sources, with an endless sea outside and a constant supply of fresh water inside, so that Pingyang Pass and the surrounding towns can be supplied."

As expected of a former official, he has a very quick mind.

Mingyi praised generously, "Old man, every word you said is spot on. How long do you think it will take to dig a canal from the mountains east of Pingyang Pass?"

"I have never investigated the area, so I cannot give you an accurate answer."

"Do you need to go in person for the survey, or can we just send someone?" The old man was very old, probably in his early sixties. In modern society, some elderly people are still working in the fields in their sixties. The elderly in feudal society, even if they took good care of themselves, were not as healthy as many elderly people today.

This old man Ning fled all the way here, and even though he had good food and drink, he must have endured a lot of hardship along the way.

Look at the slightly trembling hand of Grandpa Ning placed on his sleeve. That is one of the manifestations of excessive mental exhaustion. In her first life, she had seen some young people who stayed up late at night, did not sleep well during the day, and worked too hard. They began to have arm tremors in their early thirties, and it was an uncontrollable symptom.

Later, out of curiosity, she consulted a doctor and found out that it was a manifestation of excessive mental exhaustion.

As long as you take good care of yourself, rest well and get enough nutrition, the condition can be improved; of course, that is only for young people, it is hard to say for the elderly.

After all, the digestive ability of the elderly's stomach is weakened, their absorption capacity is not strong, and their nutritional needs cannot keep up with the body's needs; their recovery ability is not as good as that of young people, and for diseases that young people have a chance to remedy, most of the elderly can only hope that their diseases do not worsen.

"Miss Cheng, can you make the decision on the canal digging matter?" Old Master Ning asked solemnly.

Mingyi nodded happily, understanding the old man's uncertainty about her age. "Don't worry, old man. The prince has given me full authority to handle this matter. In order to ensure that Pingyang Pass will not lack water in the future and that flowers, plants and trees can grow, this project is very important."

Mr. Ning was not reassured.

Is the Northwest Zhou Prince fifteen, seventeen or eighteen this year? He couldn't remember; but, entrusting such an important matter to a little girl in her early teens, it was a joke no matter how you looked at it.

He glanced back and forth between Miss Cheng and his grandson. His grandson was decent, but lacked experience and had been taught to be a little stupid. He was not flexible enough. It was undeniable that Miss Cheng was younger than his grandson and had an elegant and noble air. There was no need to say more about this, because elegance and nobility could be cultivated. The clarity and cleverness in her eyes could not deceive anyone. She spoke and acted in an orderly manner, and was steady and kind.

What is rare is the seedling of the mistress of the house.

Thinking of this, Mr. Ning looked at Mingyi silently and said.

“Miss Cheng, I have heard of your achievements in Yongquan County in the northwest. Fucheng has become prosperous because of you. If my family had not settled in Yongquan County a long time ago, I would have gone to Fucheng to take a look.” Although Fucheng was the first city on the border, it was the prince of Zhou who was so capable that he conquered two countries in succession.

Border cities have become the best places to settle down, transportation fortresses, and three connected places.

As long as the Northwest, Ningcheng and Xiyu City are in the hands of the Prince of Zhou, Fucheng must be developed; those who were unwilling to go to Fucheng before now wish they could be born in Fucheng.

"Thank you for your praise. I am just a little girl. This matter was initiated by the Prince of Zhou. Our teacher helped a lot. I just gave an idea and made a few remarks. It cannot be considered as an achievement." She did not want to be modest, but that was the fact.

In terms of achievements, her only contribution was opening a workshop and giving prescriptions; the rest was done by her people and Zhou Ting's people, but most of the credit was attributed to her. No matter how she built up public opinion for Zhou Ting, the people remembered her more and had a shallow impression of the Prince of Zhou.

Zhou Ting’s disadvantage is that he rarely walks around in the workshop, and the workers do not have a deep impression of him.

Old Master Ning smiled slightly. She was a good girl, humble, polite, kind and gentle.

"Madam Cheng is too modest. Before you went to Fucheng, Fucheng was like this. After you went to Fucheng, in just a few years, Fucheng has undergone earth-shaking changes. The people's lives have become better, and they are all grateful for Madam Cheng's kindness. The people's eyes are sharp and they can see your efforts. Now the whole northwest probably knows that Madam Cheng is wholeheartedly doing good deeds for the country and the people."

Mingyi:.
is it?

Why didn't she know?
Her original intention was to push Agnes Chow to the altar of rulers and create an image of a good ruler who serves the country and the people; how come she is more famous than Agnes Chow?

Could it be that her words of guidance had no practical effect at all?

Weird.

Old Master Ning saw that she was smiling, but her expression was obviously not right, so he smiled kindly, "You know, the merchants in Fucheng respectfully called you "Madam Shande" on the way, and publicized your great achievements; the people who heard about this hoped that you could expand your business to other places in the northwest so that they could also benefit from it."

Mingyi blushed and her ears felt hot.

Ahem, embarrassing.

Is there such a name in Fucheng? If she went out and people called her Shande Madam, she would have to find a hole in the ground to crawl into first.

"Well, old man, it's all a joke, a joke, just a friendly joke from the people."

The second update is here~~~ Hehehe good night <{=
