Get out of the way, the prime minister is mine!

Chu Yuchen had been gloomy for several days, and finally smiled. Xiao Kezi also realized that there was a breakthrough, and did not dare to neglect at all, and hastily ordered someone to summon Liu Feiran into the palace.

Liu Feiran came in a hurry, and he was still confused when he got to Xuanning Hall, Xiao Kezi didn't say anything, just let Liu Feiran in.

Liu Feiran witnessed Chu Yuchen, before saluting, Chu Yuchen had already come to her, grabbed her hand, and said excitedly: "Sister, I have thought of a solution."

Liu Feiran's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Is this the solution to the drought?"

Chu Yuchen glared at Liu Feiran angrily, but still had a smile all over his face, "What are you thinking? Can I still make it rain? I think of some improvement measures."

Liu Feiran also knew that she was going off the rails, but Chu Yuchen thought of a way to improve it was already very remarkable, she asked: "What did your Majesty think of?"

It had been a few days since I had been warm with Liu Feiran, Chu Yuchen was thinking about her very much at this moment, and put aside the matter of the drought for the time being.She led Liu Feiran to the throne and sat down together, hugged Liu Feiran's neck, leaned on her body, and said coquettishly: "Sister, I miss you so much."

Liu Feiran turned around and put his arms around her waist, although he liked Chu Yuchen's appearance, but he still cared about the common people in his heart, "Your Majesty, please don't be fooled, what are you thinking of?"

Liu Feiran wanted to know, but Chu Yuchen didn't let her know so easily.She raised her head and pouted, "You kiss first."

Liu Feiran had no choice but to kiss first, but Chu Yuchen refused to let it go, saying: "Not enough."

Liu Feiran kissed a few times in a good-tempered manner, and then Chu Yuchen held his head, changing from a kiss to a kiss, forcefully breaking into Liu Feiran's territory.

Liu Feiran responded with a muffled sound, a little intoxicated by the kiss.But Chu Yuchen didn't seem to intend to stop, Liu Feiran couldn't hold back, and finally couldn't help pushing her away, panting: "Your Majesty!"

Chu Yuchen sighed contentedly, and did not continue to pester her, turned around and picked up the booklet on the desk, "Look at this first."

Liu Feiran took it curiously, opened it and read it.Chu Yuchen put aside all the dossiers presented by Sun Rong, and said: "These are compiled by Sun Rong. Sun Rong was the official responsible for the drought 40 years ago. Back then, he and Qin Cheng and others assisted in dealing with the drought. .”

"It's a pity that when the court knew about the drought, it was too late, so that it didn't mention any precautions when the drought started, and I couldn't get any solution from here." Chu Yuchen said with a little regret, "However, Sun Rong put forward a point of view, which I find quite interesting, and it is very possible that this point of view is true."

Liu Feiran didn't look at it quickly, after all it was not a trivial matter, she looked at it very seriously, and when she heard Chu Yuchen's words, she just nodded and said, "Let's take a look first."

Chu Yuchen didn't bother her, but sat upright by himself and picked up his pen.The method she thought of just now, although she doesn't know if it is feasible, but it must be recorded first.

She knew Yunming's terrain and the distribution of prefectures and counties, so she used her memory to draw a simple map. She drew a circle and marked the area with severe drought.The situation of the river, during these days, she also learned that there is a river passing by, named Zhilan River.

The Zhilan River originated from the Hongjiang River, the largest river in the Jing Kingdom. The Hongjiang River is very large and traverses the entire Jing Kingdom. Although it does not rain for a long time, the water level of the Hong River will become lower, but it has never dried up.The Zhilan River originated from it, and logically speaking, it shouldn't be so easy to dry up.But the starting point of this river is relatively high. As long as the water level of the Hongjiang River drops, its flow will become smaller and even dry up.

This time, there was no rain in the Yunming area, which reduced the water source of the Hongjiang River. The Zhilan River could not receive water from the Hongjiang River, and a drought naturally occurred.

Chu Yuchen was obsessed with thinking about things, but Liu Feiran read all the things Sun Rong presented, and said in surprise: "It seems that it is really possible that it has something to do with grass and trees. This matter is very important, and we need to Just go to Yunming to inspect it."

Hearing her voice, Chu Yuchen came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Yes, I will send someone to Yunming to verify later, but I invited my sister here not just for this matter, but because I have some ideas, I don't know if it's right."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

Chu Yuchen unfolded the map he drew in front of Liu Feiran, "The Zhilan River that flows through Yunming dries up after a long period of no rain, which is the main reason for this drought. Sister should know this too, right?"

Liu Feiran nodded, and she pointed to the junction of the Zhilan River and the Hongjiang River on the map, "The Zhilan River has a higher terrain, and as long as the water potential of the Hongjiang River becomes lower, the amount of water flowing into the Zhilan River will decrease. , the Zhilan River flows from the upper source to the lower source, and it is not enough to divert it from various places.”

Liu Feiran's fingers finally stayed on a node, "According to the reports from the people below, the water source of the Zhilan River dried up as soon as it reached here, causing Yunming below to fall into a dry valley, especially the area around Youyin Town. .”

Chu Yuchen pointed to the source, and said: "The biggest problem with the Zhilan River is that the source is too high, but now the source still has water flowing in, so there is no way to do anything about the source. But except for the place in front, to Yunming Here in the middle, it's completely dry and cracked, so it's very convenient to do something with the river."

Liu Feiran didn't understand why Chu Yuchen mentioned this at first, but after listening to it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked in surprise: "Your Majesty wants to widen the river?"

Chu Yuchen nodded, "Now we don't know when the drought will end, but the people have been idle at home, relying on the food provided by the court to survive. But sister, you said that when the people are idle, accidents are easy to happen. As long as someone provokes, It is easy to cause turmoil, so I was thinking, since they are idle, how about letting them dig the river?"

"It's a good idea." Liu Feiran appreciated it very much, but also raised a difficult problem, "It's just that digging and drinking Taoism has always been a waste of money and people. How can His Majesty let the people dig it?"

Chu Yuchen raised his chin, with an inexplicable pride on his face, "They are raised by the imperial court, how can they not work?"

Liu Feiran couldn't help laughing, Chu Yuchen's expression also eased, and he winked at Liu Feiran coquettishly, "Those who dig the canal can receive food. They are the ones who are hungry anyway, wouldn't they rather be hungry than go to work?" ?”

Liu Feiran sighed in his heart, Chu Yuchen is smart, but after all these things are still somewhat inexperienced.Liu Feiran used to control the waters of the Huaihe River back then, so he knew the root of the inferiority of the common people, and also knew how to mobilize the common people.So she earnestly and kindly said, "You used to have food without working, but now you have to work. So many people are hungry. As long as someone provokes them, they will cause trouble. There are far fewer government personnel than the common people." Yes. Once the people riot and loot all the food, can His Majesty kill all the people?"

Chu Yuchen was stunned for a moment, but she didn't think about this aspect at all. She said hesitantly: "It shouldn't be like this..."

Liu Feiran smiled and said: "Never underestimate people's inferiority, once you have it, take it back, and under such circumstances, it is easy to get out of control."

Chu Yuchen was also very clever, and he couldn't cut it off all at once, so he said: "Then treat them separately, everyone has porridge, but only those who have done labor can have rice or pancakes. "

"Then how to distinguish?" Liu Feiran asked again.

Chu Yuchen thought for a while, "It has to be supervised by someone, but there are too few officers and soldiers to supervise one by one, I'm afraid it can't be done, and it is easy to confuse... Then I can register the people who are going to dig the river first, and the registered ones Just give out a small sign, and use the sign to get the food."

Liu Feiran continued: "This idea seems to be feasible. Then, digging river channels is suitable for physical labor. Men can go down and dig, but what about women? Don't they all stay at home?"

"Women... women are inherently weaker than men in strength. Digging such a hard job as a river must definitely not be done. Then... let women do the cooking of pancakes." The more Chu Yuchen thought about it, the more thorough he became. "The food for so many people must be cooked by many people. Isn't it what women want to feed their children? A woman who cooks can feed her own children, and that's enough."

"But there is also a problem here..." Chu Yuchen supported his exquisite chin, "If you are full of everything, and the men are not motivated enough to dig the river, I think there should be some monetary rewards. One person manages the river for a day. How about a ten-cent income while eating?"

Liu Feiran did some calculations, and said: "Ten coins a day, three hundred coins a month, if there are several men in the family, I'm afraid they can earn one or two coins a month. At this critical moment of famine, if you can earn this A sum of money, not bad."

Chu Yuchen was very happy to get approval, "My sister also thinks it's feasible, right?"

Liu Feiran was very relieved when Chu Yuchen thought of these things. Many problems have not been resolved, but they can all be discussed. She smiled and nodded, "It is possible, but it will be a big expense for the court. Your Majesty You might as well bring it up at the court meeting and discuss it with the officials."

With Liu Feiran's approval, this matter is almost settled, but there are still many details that cannot be clarified now.Chu Yuchen played with a strand of hair that was hanging down, "I know, if I think about it carefully, I will mention it at the meeting tomorrow."

Liu Feiran also had a smile on her face when she saw her high spirits, she really liked Chu Yuchen's appearance.Full of confidence, showing her extraordinary mind and extraordinary talent, Liu Feiran firmly believes that she will definitely be able to make this country a better place.

How lucky to be able to follow such a monarch.

What's more, such a monarch is still the person I like.Although Liu Feiran sometimes still feels that he has made a mistake, it can be seen that when he sees her, the guilt in his heart will be overwhelmed by happiness and satisfaction, leaving him soft.

If the king is like this, what can I ask for.
