The whole capital persuaded me to remarry

Chapter 281 You Didn't Play Around, You Didn't Cause Me Trouble
Yan Jiulan twirled a piece of dim sum and threw it into her mouth, smiling at her, "Do you want me to say yes, or do you want me to say no?"

Zhen Baoshu leaned on his shoulder, raised her head and looked at him with twinkling eyes, "I hope you say no."

Yan Jiulan laughed out loud.

Zhen Baoshu added softly, "But if I'm really messing around and causing you a lot of trouble, then it doesn't matter if you just say it. I accept criticism and punishment."

Yan Jiulan pinched her little cheek, "Then I will do what you wish. You didn't mess around today, you have a kind heart, I am very happy that I have such a kind wife, and I am very happy that my children can have such a good example in the future .As for your worrying about causing me trouble..."

He kissed her forehead, "Don't bother, as Jiedushi, it is my responsibility to guard one side, and it is also my unshirkable responsibility to let the people in my jurisdiction live and work in peace and contentment. Your husband is not a moth who fills his own pockets, he I also have the people in my heart."

Zhen Baoshu looked at him with shining eyes, admiring him.

He smiled and said, "But there is no rush to build bridges and roads. The land freezes in winter, and road construction is very troublesome. If you have the time and energy, it is better to build embankments and canals. The reason why there are so many poor people in Xiangcheng this year is because There was a medium-scale drought in autumn, and the fertile fields near the water source had harvests, while the fields far from the water source had only [-] to [-]% of the previous year’s harvest, and there was nothing left after paying the rent and taxes.”

He went to the study and took out a map, spread it on the table, and beckoned Zhen Baoshu to take a look.

Pointing to the river above with his slender fingers, he said to Zhen Baoshu, "Look here, this river is called the Xiang River, with a wide surface and plenty of water. If we can build a canal to divert a small tributary, the people will dig canals to irrigate. Into the fields, this plain will not suffer from a lack of crops if it encounters a medium-scale drought in the future.”

He tapped the plain with his finger, "The harvest from this large plain alone can feed less than half of the people in Xiangcheng, and even if there is another disaster, the pressure of disaster relief will not be as great as it is now. "

Zhen Baoshu grew up in the prime minister's mansion, so she can still understand it by looking at the territory map.

Yan Jiulan pointed to the rest of the places and told her in detail one by one, where canals can be built, which city is the closest to which section of the river, where are the mountains that are not suitable for building canals, etc. She nodded repeatedly.

At the end of the hearing, she suddenly thought of something, looked up at Yan Jiulan, "My father deliberately chose Huguang as his place of exile, is it because he wants you to do practical things for the people?"

Yan Jiulan bent her lips and smiled, "That's right, Dad and I talked in private, saying that generals should not only have military achievements, but also political achievements. A general who can only fight will always be a general, but a general who has political achievements The general will be able to take another step up."

Speaking of the arrogant prime minister's father-in-law, his eyes are full of warmth, "Don't look at my father's refusal to admit it, but he has always been thinking about us. I have no parents in my life, but this belated father-in-law, It made me truly feel the happiness of having a real father.”

Zhen Baoshu was happy with him for a while, remembering what he said, he could go one step further, and felt itchy in his heart.

She hugged his arm, and whispered a few words carefully in his ear, "Is it the Duke? A king with a different surname?"

Yan Jiulan tapped her forehead with her fingers, "Who knows, maybe it was a waste of work in the end."
