The fierce stepmother of the farm family, brought her cubs to get rich

Originally, Gu Manxiu had already forgotten about this matter.

Especially after seeing that everyone has already planted the crops, Gu Manxiu also started to plant her own watermelons and strawberries. Nowadays, most of the strawberries and watermelons are going to be sent to the palace, so if Gu Manxiu really wants to sell them, Still have to add a little more.

It's just that Jiang Yichen's complexion has become more and more ugly recently, as if he was troubled by something.

"Jiang Yichen, what's wrong with you? Why don't you take a break so late?"

Jiang Yichen was already lying down, but when he thought about the Jiangnan incident, he couldn't help getting up to read some ancient books.

The main thing is to find a quick way to control the water.

"Why are you getting up, and you still don't know how to dress properly."

While reprimanding, Jiang Yichen tied his cloak around Gu Manxiu's body, it seemed that he was really worried that Gu Manxiu would catch a cold.

Gu Manxiu didn't take it seriously, mainly because Jiang Yichen was frowning now, and she wasn't in the mood to get dressed.

"If there is something you can't solve, everyone can discuss it together. Don't keep everything in your heart. It's easy for you to get into trouble like this."

As she spoke, she leaned against Jiang Yichen's arms, hoping that Jiang Yichen would not always be alone.

"Actually, I can't say whether it's true or not. Someone recently reported that there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. This is only in May. If it comes to the rainy season in June, one can imagine what the situation will be."

He couldn't bear to see the people fall into such a situation.

Especially now when I see that there is no way to control the water, and I am powerless.

The last flood was small, and because it was in the north, there was still a glimmer of hope that it could be cured, but Jiang Yichen hadn't studied the terrain of the south of the Yangtze River before, so he didn't know where to start.

Gu Manxiu's heart skipped a beat, the thing she was most worried about happened.

Unexpectedly, the flood this time turned out to be in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Jiang Yichen, I have a solution. I saw a book before, which wrote about the method of water control. It can be summed up in one sentence, 'Go deep into the beach, make a low weir, draw your heart when you are right, and cut corners when you meet a bend.'"

This is the famous sentence of water control left by Li Bing and his son. With Jiang Yichen's intelligence, he must be able to understand what he means.

Sure enough, Jiang Yichen's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to know where Gu Manxiu saw these,

"I also forgot where I saw it. I will help you find it after a while. I have also read a lot of books on water conservancy projects. The most important thing now is that you have to talk to Your Majesty about it. The two of us set off for Jiangnan immediately."

As long as the flood is well managed this time, Jiang Yichen's reputation will definitely be even higher. This is the first step for Gu Manxiu to help Jiang Yichen ascend to the position of Chief Assistant.

Besides, what does Jiangnan look like, Gu Manxiu already wanted to see it.

"it is good."

Jiang Yichen took the initiative to take the order to go to the south of the Yangtze River, which surprised the emperor and also worried him a little.

"Jiang Aiqing, you should understand that going to the south of the Yangtze River to control the water means you are far away from the core of power. If you come back later, you may not have the status you have now. I appreciate you very much."

The meaning is obvious, as long as Jiang Yichen stays behind, he will definitely be promoted to a higher position in the future.

But Jiang Yichen's attitude was very firm, saying that he didn't care about these things now, and only hoped that the emperor would allow him to go to the south of the Yangtze River to control the water, so as to prevent more people from falling into dire straits.

"Your Majesty, I know what His Majesty means, but what's the point of being an official if you can't serve the people?"

"Forget it, since you are so persistent, then I can only guarantee that the position of chief assistant will be vacant until you come back. If you have meritorious service in governance, I will definitely give you this position."

Jiang Yichen was slightly taken aback, according to his qualifications, he should not be qualified to meet that position now.

But he doesn't know that the emperor's mind has changed now, as long as he meets someone he likes, he is naturally willing to promote him, especially someone with such ambition like Jiang Yichen, which in his opinion is rare in the court Good officer.

That's why the emperor made this decision now, not only to encourage Jiang Yichen to control the water, but also to tell Jiang Yichen not to forget his original intention, only in this way can he achieve perseverance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

As for the crown prince, after knowing this, he felt a little reluctant to part with Jiang Yichen. As a teacher, Jiang Yichen obviously satisfied him the most, but now that Jiang Yichen is leaving, this is really a big deal for him. hit.

Jiang Yichen comforted the prince, saying that he was just going to control the water, and maybe he could come back next year as soon as possible.

"Master, please take care of yourself. During the time you are not in the capital, I will definitely help you take care of the family affairs. I just hope that Master can return safely."

Going to water control is usually a thankless task, and everyone thinks that Jiang Yichen is crazy, so he chose to go to Jiangnan when he was so full of ambition.

Only Gu Manxiu knew that Jiang Yichen had always insisted on the bottom line in his heart, and it was absolutely impossible for him to continue to enjoy in the capital with peace of mind after encountering such a disaster.

So Gu Manxiu chose to stand firmly with Jiang Yichen.

Yanxiu looked a little complicated after knowing this, and finally decided to leave with Gu Manxiu.

"Are you going to suffer with us?"

"Isn't it just water control? How much suffering can you endure? Besides, if I'm not here, you and Jiang Yichen are in danger. I can see it. You two just want to get rid of me now."

Of course, he wanted to protect Gu Manxiu and Jiang Yichen out of the mentality, that's what he had to follow.

Gu Manxiu only felt that her eyes were slightly sour, why would they always do something that moved her.

But now that Yan Xiu has also said that he is willing to go to Jiangnan with him, there is really something that needs Yan Xiu's help.

"I need you to send food to Jiangnan at a fixed time. I have to send some every month. As for the quantity, I will write to you. Your people know martial arts, so it is safer to transport. This time, I will leave it to you."

Such a small matter is naturally nothing to Yan Xiu.

I also know that Gu Manxiu is mostly worried that these people have no food to eat, and also worried that he will not adapt to the environment there, so he gave himself a reason to come back at any time.

She always thinks about things so comprehensively, but there are some things that she doesn't have to think about so complicated.

They regard themselves as relatives, so why don't they think the same?
