The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 344: A blow to self-confidence

Chun Boren left the East Palace with a complicated mood. He found that he was really not suitable for politics, and he was not even suitable for the supervision of the Imperial Medical Office.

He originally thought that Jiang Chong was a good subordinate, polite and sensible, but who knew that he knew people, faces, but not hearts? Jiang Chong turned out to be two-faced, which greatly shocked Chun Boren's heart.

It's not because Jiang Chong is not a good person, but because he feels that he is no longer capable of being a supervisor. His scheming and government have been crushed by others, and he has been exploited without knowing it. Yet he is filled with righteous indignation and speaks righteously to find him. Wei Ning's reasoning is simply ridiculous.

Wei Ning naturally didn't know Chun Boren's thoughts. At this time, he had brought the East Palace Forbidden Army to Jingzhao Yin Prison.

When Wei Ning appeared in front of Jia Rang with his hands behind his back, Jia Rang looked indifferent, glared at Wei Ning with hatred, then turned his head and sat on the straw bed in the prison.

Wei Ning smiled slightly and said, "It's been two days and you still haven't calmed down?"

Jia Rang sneered: "Are you doing it for my own good? Let me calm down?"

"Otherwise? Do you think you can manage your subordinates well if you have the temperament to control the Yellow River?"

"Do you think you can be an official just by relying on your professional knowledge? You need to face all kinds of people and coordinate all kinds of people and things."

"Can you?"

Jia Rang said: "How can you know if you don't try? Who are you if you don't want me to control the Yellow River? Do you want me to become an official? You have such a strong tone, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue!"

Wei Ning smiled contemptuously and said, "Try?"

"There are so many crops and people on both sides of the Yellow River. Try it. If you try wrong, how many people will die? How many crops will be submerged?"

"Your three strategies to control the river are indeed brilliant, but can you do it all by yourself? Don't you need your fellow officials to help you? How many colleagues will you offend with your temper? Are they going to disobey it in disguise? Can't your orders be conveyed?"

"Have you considered it?"

"Isn't it good for you? Why don't I give you two days to reflect and calm down?"

Jia Rang cupped his hands and said, "Then I still have to thank you, right?"

Weining could hear his sarcasm. He was extremely conceited and arrogant. The river control strategy he had spent twenty years researching was unmistakable. No one could tell him!

Weining was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "There are so many residents in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. How much will it cost to demolish and relocate the residents in the upper reaches of the Yellow River? Does the imperial court have that much financial budget to allocate?"

"Your first widening of the upper river channel, can I understand that this is an illusion and does not consider the actual situation?"

Jia Rang was slightly suffocated, but he still said bravely: "There is no better way. If the court cannot allocate money, then there is no way to control the river. Water conservancy has been a major project since ancient times. How can we control it without allocating funds?"

Weining asked: "Is it possible to build a large number of small ditches in the middle section of the Yellow River to divert the flow of the Yellow River and reduce the risk of flooding?"

Jia Rang frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "What about upstream? Do you care?"

Wei Ning sneered: "Isn't the water upstream flowing downstream? Have you studied it for so long in vain?"

"The flow will be divided after reaching the middle flow. So many small ditches will reduce flooding and irrigate crops at the same time, buffering the rapid water flow."

"As for how to choose the ditch route, I don't know, but I think this idea must be better than yours."

"The downstream river water is prone to siltation. If the reaction force of the river water in the "loopback ridge" is used to wash away the silt in the dam, can it also achieve the effect of water flowing into the silt without spending a lot of manpower to do it?"

After Weining finished speaking, Jia Rang remained silent and thoughtful for a long time.

His face was uncertain, and he was mumbling to himself. Sometimes he said it was wonderful, sometimes he said it was not good, and sometimes he said it was excellent. In the end, his face was full of shock, and his eyes suddenly widened in shock. He looked at Weining and said, "Have you also inspected the Yellow River?"

Wei Ning said: "No, I came up with it all myself."

hiss!

Jia Rang took a breath, looked at Wei Ning in horror, and blurted out: "Why, how is it possible?"

"How could you come up with such a brilliant idea?" Wei Ning said, "Is this difficult? Do you think you are the proud one of heaven, and do you think others really know nothing? It's ridiculous!"

"There are mountains outside the mountains. Before the rice is ripe, they all look upward. Time has settled and there is something in their stomachs, and they all lower their heads."

"What about you? Which one do you belong to?"

Jia Rang's cheeks became increasingly red.

Weining's metaphor was really shocking. He humiliated Jia Rang to the point of complete indignity. Only now did Jia Rang understand the gap between him and the person in front of him. His whole person was like an eggplant beaten by frost. All his previous pride, self-esteem, and arrogance were completely defended. Ning collapsed and fell to the ground.

He lowered his head, losing his previous pride and arrogance. After a long time, he respectfully hugged Wei Ning and said, "I'm not as good as you."

"Your Excellency is more powerful than me. I am like a clown without knowing it. Your Excellency is right in scolding me. I accept it with an open mind!"

Weining shook his head and said: "I don't need you to accept anything from me. I just want you to calm down and settle down. Your three strategies to control the river are remarkable and not without merit."

"But your temper will eventually harm you. As a person, you should be low-key and humble. This is how you should be as an official."

Only now could Jia Rang listen carefully to Weining's opinion. He cupped his fists and said, "I understand."

"Hey."

Jia Rang sighed and said: "But I was too impulsive before this. It is right for me to be in jail like this. I will definitely study hard when I get out."

Wei Ning glanced at him and said calmly: "You can go out today, go back and wash up, tidy up, and go to the East Palace to meet the crown prince."

what?

Jia Rang looked at Wei Ning in shock and said, "This... crown prince? Will you see me in person?"

Wei Ning: "Yeah."

He didn't say much and left with his hands behind his back. Jia Rang looked at Weining's back and couldn't calm down for a long time. He bowed respectfully to Weining and said thank you sincerely.

The other party repays evil with kindness, is calm and restrained, but has a high-ranking position and is so ambitious that he must be an official of the imperial court.

Such a young official could have such character. The imperial court was indeed full of hidden tigers and crouching dragons. He had always thought that the imperial court was filled with villains like Jiang Chong, but he judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.

Sure enough, not long after Wei Ning left, Jing Zhaoyin's people let Jia Rang go. Jia Rang's attitude was much better this time, he bowed respectfully to Qin Chuan and left.

Qin Chuan was extremely shocked. He was so arrogant when he came in. Wei Ning just met him and tamed him like this?

What kind of magic power does Weining have? He actually tamed him. If the opponent is stronger, it only means that Weining is stronger than him!

At that time, Wei Ning said that he would suppress Jia Rang. Qin Chuan was still doubtful, but now he completely believes it!

　I wish you all good health and fewer illnesses and disasters in the new year. When people reach middle age, health comes first.

　　Mycoplasma 1.21, I really wanted to take leave that day, but I gritted my teeth and persisted. I was completely confused for those two days. I went to the hospital to see my wife who gave me a booster shot. My wife said I would have vomiting reactions. I said it was okay, and I should get it quickly. Okay, I have to code.

　　Thank you to everyone for your rewards these days. Thank you to everyone for always voting. Many of you will keep this in mind. Thank you.

　　I won’t read the comments. I wrote a book on an external site before and the results were pretty good. After reading the comments, I fell into disuse and felt uncomfortable.

　　In 2023, I coded 369 million words. After four years in the industry, I have coded a total of 1369 million words, which is considered worthy of my professional attitude. Thank you all for your company. Happy New Year and all the best.
