Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Listening to Xingren's reply, Gu Yanshu was in a daze for a moment:

"sure?"

"The people below said that they are not very sure. It is roughly similar to Wang Hao's description. But whether it is true or not, maybe we have to wait until Wang Hao goes to see it in person before we can be sure."

Xingren also knows that his princess attaches great importance to this object. Since the repair of the main courtyard, the princess has wanted this object, but because it is not easy to find, there has been no result.

During the months of sending people out to search, the princess also asked about the progress from time to time.

When you get a negative answer, you will be disappointed.

It was precisely because of this that Xingren didn't dare to say anything, for fear of disappointing Gu Yanshu in the end.

"Since you said that they are seven or eight points similar, it should be almost the same."

Gu Yanshu, who knew Xingren's temperament, showed a slight smile on his face:

"Where is the thing? Where is it? Take me to see it!"

"It's already in the small yard."

The small courtyard that Xingren was talking about was naturally the small courtyard where Gu Yanshu used to invent and create.

As soon as Xingren's words fell, Gu Yanshu's steps quickened a lot, and he walked towards the small courtyard in two steps.

After a while, Gu Yanshu had already arrived outside the small courtyard, and before he walked in, he saw a big box placed on the table in the center of the courtyard:

"Is it in here? Open it and let me see."

Standing aside, the man dressed as a palace guard nodded slightly, and opened the wooden box with his hand.

Just open it and don't forget to explain:

"Yes, I found this item almost according to the description of the princess, but I have never seen this item before, and I am not quite sure whether it is the item that the princess wants. If not, I will take people to look for it again. that is……"

"No need," the man hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by Gu Yanshu's slightly smiling voice, "That's right, this is what I want."

In a word, the guard was a little confused, so he opened the box. The princess hasn't seen the contents clearly yet, so how can she be sure?

Xingren saw what his colleagues were thinking, and couldn't help asking in a low voice:

"Won't the princess take out the things to take a look? Confirm?"

"There's no need to confirm, this taste is unmistakable."

Gu Yanshu took a few deep breaths as he spoke, feeling the breath in the air, with a firm tone.

Following Gu Yanshu's movements, Xingren couldn't stop taking two deep breaths, only then did he notice a dense and special smell in the air.

After noticing this, Xingren breathed a sigh of relief:

It seems that this thing is probably what the princess wants.

Immediately afterwards, Xingren heard Gu Yanshu's order:

"Let's just put the things here, Xingren, call the craftsman I asked you to find a few days ago, the next thing is not as simple as finding this thing."

"Yes."

These days, no one knows better than Xing Ren how much effort people in the palace have spent searching for this object.

After hearing that the next thing was not easy, Xingren didn't dare to delay at all, turned around and went to the small courtyard beside him, calling the craftsman over.

After the craftsman arrived, Gu Yanshu directly brought him into the room for a small meeting.

After the people came out, one by one began to fiddle with the box of objects that they had just brought back to the palace.

Gu Yanshu also directly went against the normality of being a hand-off shopkeeper in the past, and directly became a supervisor in the small courtyard.

When Qin Lu returned home from the palace, what he heard was the news that his princess was messing with something in the small courtyard.

After knowing the movements of his princess, Qin Lu almost didn't think much, and went straight to the small courtyard.

Just walked to the gate of the small courtyard, and found that today's small courtyard seems to be a little different from usual.

Not only were there a lot more people in the small courtyard, but it was even a bit smoky.

There is an obvious unknown smell in the air, not to mention, there is even a lot of dust.

After stretching out his hand and fanning in front of his eyes, trying to reduce the dust in front of him to no avail, Qin Lu finally couldn't help but ask:

"What is the princess doing?"

Who knew that when he opened his mouth, he ate a mouth full of ashes, which made people feel uncomfortable.

After hearing the movement, Gu Yanshu looked up, and happened to see Qin Lu frowning uncomfortably.

After turning his head and whispering something in the ear of the craftsman beside him, he hurried out and took Qin Lu out of the small courtyard:

"Is your lord alright?"

While speaking, he did not forget to wink at Xing Ren who was standing aside, signaling him to pour some water to rinse Qin Lu's mouth.

After taking the tea and rinsing his mouth, and feeling that there was no dust in his mouth, Qin Lu spoke again:

"It's okay, what was the princess doing just now?"

Only at this time did Qin Lu notice Gu Yanshu's unusual attire.

Not to mention wearing a strange veil on his face, there was also a lot of dust on the clothes on his body.

"Didn't I ask someone to find an object for me a few years ago? No, it's brought back and it's being researched."

Gu Yanshu reached out to take off the mask from his face, and noticed Qin Lu's action of helping him tidy up his clothes, so he hurriedly stopped him:

"My lord, don't bother tidying up. I'll change the clothes later."

Qin Lu also found that Gu Yanshu's clothes seemed to be dirty, so he stopped and continued to ask:

"What is this researching?"

Who knew that facing Qin Lu's questioning, Gu Yanshu only blinked his eyes:

"Of course it's a good thing!"

Qin Lu frowned slightly, a little surprised:

"Huh? Is the princess trying to cheat with the king?"

Gu Yanshu frowned slightly, without denying:

"What? Is this not allowed by the prince?"

"Of course it is allowed, how dare this king not allow it?"

Qin Luyue saw that Gu Yanshu's dirty appearance was more an eyesore, so he simply took Gu Yanshu's hand and walked towards the main courtyard.

This answer also directly pleased Gu Yanshu, only to see that the corners of Gu Yanshu's lips were raised upwards, and even the ending sound brought a tinge of joy:

"Don't worry, my lord, I will tell my lord as soon as the finished product is researched!"

To this, Qin Lu just smiled slightly and did not answer.

According to the gadgets that Gu Yanshu fiddled with in the past, which one was he not the first to see the finished product?

This time is no exception.

Thinking of the speed with which Gu Yanshu was tinkering with those things in the past, Qin Lu calculated in his heart, and felt that he would see the finished product in at least three to five days.

However, what Qin Lu didn't expect was that this three to five days, first class, was almost a month.

In the past month, although Gu Yanshu didn't say anything, Qin Lu could tell from his frequent entry and exit of the small courtyard and his expression after returning from the small courtyard that things didn't seem to be going smoothly.

In the middle of the journey, Qin Lu also said that if it is really impossible to achieve results, he should let it go for now. Maybe after a period of time, these problems will be solved naturally.

But this proposal was directly rejected by Gu Yanshu.

At that time, Gu Yanshu bluntly said that what he is doing now is very important, and it is related to the happiness of the people in Tianqi in the future.

The sooner it is made and used, the sooner it will be able to bring great convenience to the people.

Hearing this, even if Qin Lu didn't know what Gu Yanshu was messing with, he could still know the importance of it.

After all, his princess had never said such serious words when he was tinkering with the glass.

For these things, Qin Lu thought that he couldn't help much, so he could only give other support behind his back.

For example, to meet all of Gu Yanshu's needs as much as possible.

Also during the month of waiting, many changes took place in the court.

First, the Hubu, after the Hubu Shangshu's confinement ended, when he returned to the court, everyone could clearly see that the Hubu Shangshu's voice in the Hubu was much smaller.

Not only are they restricted everywhere, but even many important things cannot be implemented until Wen Qingyan nods his head.

The Hubu Shangshu's right to speak has been weakened, which has directly affected the actions of the eldest prince's lineage in the court.

These days, it can be clearly felt that the eldest prince is a little bit powerless in the court.

The second is the Ministry of Rites.

When the First Prince's lineage was appointed, they wanted the Fourth Prince to take the opportunity to gather the Ministry of Rites.

The fourth prince's personal ability is indeed higher than that of the first prince, but the Minister of Rites is also not a vegetarian.

Although he turned a blind eye to the actions of the fourth prince in the Ministry of Rites, pretending he didn't see them, but when it came to the critical moment, he was absolutely unambiguous.

One pass of Tai Chi, which is four or two strokes of a thousand catties, completely ruined the layout of the fourth prince.

In the end, the fourth prince only made some little progress in the Ministry of Rites.

In addition to these, there is another piece of news received by the court.

Come to Yizhou.

News from Zhizhou in Yizhou said that the water level in Yizhou has risen abnormally recently. If measures are not taken in time, there may be floods in two months.

So I asked the imperial court for permission to repair and widen the dam.

The entire state capital of Yizhou stands across the river, and it was a key area for flood prevention in previous years.

It's just that the time when the floods came in previous years was about two months later than when the Zhizhou in Yizhou passed the news this year.

But this time, the magistrate of Yizhou may have seen Shaocheng's lessons learned, and did not dare to repeat the same mistakes, so when there was a slight sign, he rushed to report to the court.

It has to be said that the vigilant attitude of the governor of Yizhou has also attracted the attention of the court.

Although some people think that Yizhou Zhizhou's precautionary attitude is very good, some people think that Yizhou Zhizhou's approach is a bit of a fuss.

However, no one raised objections to the restoration of the Yizhou dam.

As for the reason?

Naturally, Yizhou is a key area for flood control in Tianqi, and the dam needs to be rebuilt every few years. Counting the time when the dam was repaired last time, it is almost time for the dam in Yizhou to be repaired.

Even if it is not repaired this year, it will be repaired next year. In this case, a year earlier is better than a year later.

Even those who said that Yizhou Zhizhou made a fuss out of a molehill and could not be reused dared to bet on this tiny possibility.

Now that there is unity in the matter of building the dam, the next problem that everyone needs to face is who will be sent to do it?

Both the First Prince's lineage and the Prince Li's Mansion's lineage hoped to take this matter on themselves.

What happened in Shaocheng last time had given the eldest prince the limelight, how could the lineage of King Li give this opportunity to the eldest prince again?

As for the First Prince?

Considering that he is currently powerless in the court and is in a state of stretching, he is also eager to break the situation, so he naturally refuses to let go of this rare opportunity.

After arguing between these two parties, no result was reached for a while.

In the end, regarding this matter, the emperor did not express his position immediately, and only left a sentence of "discuss later".

Although neither the eldest prince nor the lineage of King Li could quite tell what the emperor was thinking at this time.

But after being "taught" by Gu Yanshu, the fifth prince and Qin Lu could vaguely sense the emperor's thoughts:

Judging from the recent situation in the court, this matter may still fall into the hands of the eldest prince in the end.

After all, the last time the emperor father wanted to crown the eldest prince a king to balance the balance, but failed due to various reasons.

Now that there is something about Yizhou, the father may take advantage of the situation and send the eldest prince to complete this time, and then take advantage of the situation to give the eldest prince the title of king.

And this conjecture was affirmed by Gu Yanshu:

"Under normal circumstances, your guess is indeed correct."

"What should I do?"

When the fifth prince heard this, he immediately became anxious. Last time, they put in a lot of effort to prevent the father from granting the eldest prince the title of king.

If I come again this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it!

Who knew that Gu Yanshu gave the fifth prince a look of calmness:

"You forgot, what I just said is under normal circumstances, but in my place, when is there any normal condition?"

While speaking, Gu Yanshu took out a gray stone-like object from the side and placed it in front of the two of them:

"My lord, take a look at this first."

Seeing this item, and seeing the more relaxed smile on Gu Yanshu's face at this time, Qin Lu immediately had a guess in his heart:

"Is this what you've been working on lately?"

"That's right," Gu Yanshu nodded slightly, with a relieved smile on his face, "This thing is called cement."
