Rebirth from the Poison: The Sturdy Sixth Miss

Today in the court hall, Long Jingkuang treated Ouyang Xiu with rare kindness.

"Ouyang Qing, please tell me your opinion on the proposal to build the canal that Minister of Industry just mentioned."

It was rare for Long Jingkuang to name Ouyang Xiu, wanting to hear his thoughts on building the largest canal in Huangguo.Because of the severe water shortage in the northern part of Huangguo, many farmlands suffered from drought, resulting in poor harvests, so the Ministry of Industry proposed the south-to-north water diversion project. The treasury mobilized a large sum of money.

Long Jingkuang didn't know how many years this project would take, and how much manpower and material resources it would take to complete it.But without this project, so many people will suffer.

It's a dilemma.

"The project is a good project, but money is a problem."

It's not that Ouyang Xiu didn't think of the south-to-north water diversion, but he never brought it up because of the foundation of Huangguo.If this project is not done well, it will... perish the country.

Because it costs too much money.

On the contrary, he suspected that the people from the Ministry of Industry didn't do a proper calculation to find out how much money it would cost, so he brought this proposal to the court.

"Senior Ouyang, otherwise, do you have a better way to solve the problem of water shortage in northern farmland?"

Tang Guipeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stared at Ouyang Xiu dissatisfied.

It is said that Ouyang Xiu is unparalleled in learning, but when it comes to real state affairs, Ouyang Xiu is no more than that.

The farming tools that Ouyang Xiu invented before gained a lot of popularity, but he thinks those tools are not difficult to make, Ouyang Xiu is just luck.

"Huang Country has a huge land area, spanning from north to south. This project is really too big. It is roughly estimated that it will take at least five years, and... the silver required will not be less than 5000 million taels. How can our Huang Country get it?" Can you get this money?"

"So let the local government take the responsibility." Tang Guipeng said.

"The locality cannot afford this amount of money."

"Otherwise, let the farmers in the north starve to death?" Tang Guipeng's voice couldn't help but increase, "The famine is already the second. If God doesn't rain, those farmers will starve to death. Even if the court shakes the disaster, but if things go on like this, How can the court bear it?"

"..." Ouyang Xiu was silent.

He admitted that Tang Guipeng was right.

Anyway, whether it is not to do this project, or to do it, it will shake the foundation of Huangguo.But he still hoped to take a slow look to see if there was any other way.

"Senior Ouyang, there is nothing you can do, right?" Tang Guipeng smiled coldly, "It turns out that the so-called top student in the world is just a waste of fame. It seems that everyone in the world thinks highly of you."

"Tang Qing..."

Long Jing coughed wildly and gave Tang Guipeng some warnings.Tang Guipeng stopped talking.

It's just that everyone is a little strange. In the past, they didn't feel His Majesty's protection of Ouyang Xiu in the court. Why has something changed today?

It is also because of Long Jingkuang's attitude towards Ouyang Xiu all the time, which made everyone treat the Taiwei's Mansion... Tang Guipeng, who is only a minister of the Ministry of Industry, has the courage to embarrass Ouyang Xiu. Unexpectedly, today... ... hit the iron plate.

"With regard to the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, I don't think there is any need to be in a hurry. Let's discuss it carefully and see if there is a better way.
