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

Chapter 1379 Famine and Natural Disaster 537
As they expected, in order to allow ships to enter and exit, the canal was gradually widened and deepened by 50 meters.

On the trip up the mountain, Zhou Ting learned about the progress of the river channel and met the four members of the Ning family. They communicated about the river channel issue. Before leaving, Ming Yi saw that the Ning family was full of energy and couldn't help but curl her lips and left with Zhou Ting.

We took the mountain road when we came here, and we still took the mountain road when we go back.

However, this road was much easier to travel than the first time; a road was mined to provide passage, and there was no need to clear the way as we went along like we did the last time.

On the way back, Zhou Ting was deeply touched and thanked Mingyi with a little apology.

"Yiyi, thanks to you, the construction of the river channel at Pingyang Pass can begin as soon as possible. I thank you on behalf of the people."

Mingyi chuckled, "No need to thank me. My original intention of doing all this was just to do something practical for the people. These are all what I want to do, and I am willing to do them. I said that I am very happy to be able to do something practical for the people."

The little girl smiled sweetly, without any sign of hesitation or reluctance, and her smile made his heart, which loved her, feel both sour and soft.

His little girl is very small, but she does a lot of things that are far beyond what she should do at her age.

"I should thank you because you are willing to do it. I thank you because you have done something that is beneficial to me and the entire Northwest. I and the people of the Northwest will benefit from you, so we should thank you." He quietly lifted up her soft hand and held it in his hand, and a feeling of joy and happiness rose in his heart.

She and he can stand side by side, make progress together, face difficulties together, and share honor and disgrace.

Feeling his closeness, our hearts silently draw closer to each other, and walking on the long road is never boring.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the garrisoned soldiers saw them again, came forward to greet them, and watched them leave.

After returning to the house where he lived, Zhou Ting said to Ming Yi, "I plan to go back to the city. Yi Yi, will you come with me?"

"Return to the capital? Why?"

Nothing important happened in the city. The battle at Pingyang Pass had just ended, and the various princes in the Central Plains would not give up just because of defeat.

Who makes the Northwest such a popular destination in the eyes of all countries?

"Now that the war has calmed down, I should go back to pay my respects to my mother and check on the affairs of the city."

Mingyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go back to visit my parents."

"Then leave tomorrow and arrange the things you have on hand."

When Chunmei learned that they were going back, she packed her bags that night. The next day, she rode back to the city with them, accompanied by dozens of imperial guards and secret guards.

As soon as they arrived at the city, Mingyi and Zhou Ting parted ways. Zhou Ting returned to the palace, and Mingyi returned to Chengjiazhuang.

He had his things to do, and she had someone she wanted to see sooner.

Fortunately, they had arrived at the provincial capital, and the guards only needed to escort her back to Chengjiazhuang. On the surface, Zhou Ting only brought An San into the city.

Chengjiazhuang.

After several years of development, Chengjiazhuang has grown to a certain scale; even before entering Chengjiazhuang, you can see twenty or thirty children running around, chasing and playing.

The people in the village live a wealthy life. The children running and playing outside have rosy complexions, eat and drink enough, and are all in good health.

The children of the tribe are the future of the entire tribe. Not to mention that Ming Yi was in a good mood when she saw these lively and playful children, but Yu Shiwei and others who came with her were very jealous.

There were many children. The Cheng family had been thriving in these years. The family lived a good life, every household had money, and there were even more children. Many of the children playing around were three or four years old. They were taken care of by older brothers and sisters, and the children, big and small, played together in harmony and unity. Anyone who saw them would have to say that the family was thriving.

"Master, look, there are so many children in your clan. I didn't look carefully before, but now that I see so many children running around, I realize how prosperous the Cheng family is."

There have been conscriptions in the northwest in recent years, but most of them are refugees and people from the Western Regions and Ningguo; on the contrary, not many indigenous residents of the northwest have joined the military camp. The Cheng family is taken care of by the prince, and when a promising son emerges in the family, the Cheng family will also benefit from it.

When conscription was launched, all officials skipped Chengjiazhuang.

Everyone knows that their Cheng family has a very remarkable daughter. She is valued by the princess in the palace, respected by the prince's subordinates outside, and the prince also looks at her differently. She is also the closed disciple of Grand Tutor Fan.

For a woman, who was only a few years old at that time, to become the closed disciple of Grand Master Fan was not an ordinary person.

If one thinks that she is a canary who can be accepted into the sect of Old Master Fan only because of the help of the Crown Prince, then one is totally wrong; there is not a single mediocre disciple under Old Master Fan's tutelage; they are all useful people.

In recent years, all the surviving disciples of Grand Master Fan came to the northwest to seek refuge with the Crown Prince of Zhou; they served in the provincial capital and other towns respectively, and Grand Master Fan did not directly arrange them under the command of Zhou Ting.

With the help of Grand Master Fan, they are capable and talented and have already established themselves firmly on their feet.

Grand Master Fan's family and clansmen were brought to the Northwest five years ago, and many of his disciples also came. The dignitaries in the Northwest only realized then that Grand Master Fan had taken root in the Northwest with his team and family.

As long as Prince Zhou is willing, Grand Tutor Fan's team will be his team.

However, Zhou Ting was wholeheartedly devoted to developing his own confidants, and he trusted and employed Master Fan's team more, but did not regard them as his own confidants.

Master Fan understood that his disciples were fellow apprentices of Zhou Ting; Zhou Ting would employ them, even use them in a high position, but would never make them his confidants.

Just like brothers in the family, they can support and help each other, but they will not become confidants who can be used to attack each other at will.

Therefore, he placed people in positions that suited them and promoted them when Zhou Ting needed them. Mutual respect and appreciation, as well as a good sense of getting along with each other, were the most comfortable and secure relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

How could Master Fan, who has trained many talented people, be interested in a vase that is nothing more than a pretty face?

Therefore, anyone with a little bit of common sense would understand that Miss Cheng is not a simple person; even if they don’t want to be friends with her, they cannot make enemies with her. That is why those people would subconsciously ignore the Cheng family.

Later, Cheng Mingyi's achievements confirmed their speculation.

The reforms in Fucheng, the pacification of the Yangguan River, her superb medical skills, and the various medicines she developed all proved her extraordinary qualities.

Although there were no high-ranking officials in the Cheng family, no one dared to make plans against them.

"The clan leader and the village chief led well." A good leader stands out in the development of the clan.

Chunmei looked at her with admiration. Maybe her master didn't know her importance to the development of the clan?

The patriarch and village chief of the Cheng family did play a certain role in the development, but it was not absolute; with her master, the Cheng family had a backer and could rest assured to multiply the family and develop the clan's industry.

If they thought that they had made the greatest contribution, they were wrong; fortunately, none of the Cheng family members she had met was so ignorant.
