Chapter 166 Xiaotao Gets Married (3)
The prince shook his head, glanced at the Taifu, then looked at the tip of his shoe and fell silent.The emperor had already fulfilled his duty to the prince born to a previous empress, and waved him to step down.

"Who will come first, King Xuan or King Qing?"

The emperor looked at his two most outstanding sons. King Xuan had long been famous, and King Qing...if it wasn't for the fire that took away his memory and eyes when he was a child, he wouldn't be crippled for more than ten years. year.

"Father!" King Xuan looked at Mo Lianchen and Yi Jinning beside him, and spoke slowly.

"My son believes that the key to solving the flood in the south is to find out the problem first. In addition to the flood caused by the seasonal problems mentioned by the prince, the common people don't know how to defend. Another point is that the remedy after the flood is insufficient."

He looked seriously at his aloof father, he will definitely take that position, soon!
"How is it insufficient? Isn't it enough for me to send people to build the dam to show that I am sincere and kind enough to the people?"

The emperor looked at King Xuan angrily, waiting for his next words.

King Xuan smiled lightly, his handsome face, which was somewhat similar to Mo Yichen's, showed a little charming arc, and Yi Jinning looked at Mo Yichen in surprise.This... This King Xuan's smile is really too similar to Ah Chen!

"No, my father transported food and money to the people for disaster relief, and built dams for them to store water and prevent them. I have done a better job than anyone else. However, the reason why the people can no longer feed and clothe the country under my father's benevolent government is that Even facing flooding again because they didn't get real help."

"How to say?"

The emperor was also interested. What King Xuan said was reasonable. He put forward a more comprehensive view and analyzed that the people in the south had benefited a lot, but they were still suffering from serious floods.The emperor also couldn't figure out the key point, so he wanted to hear what King Xuan had to say.

"Royal father! The wealth and lives of the common people are all on the fertile land, but the fertile land is flooded. No matter how much food and money the royal father sends to help, it can only relieve for a while, and cannot save the whole life! Therefore, the minister thought that giving it It is better to teach them how to fish than to fish, and the common people should learn to open up wilderness by themselves, and open up a new land, and the food production will naturally increase.”

The approval in the eyes of the emperor became obvious, and he stroked his short beard, "Okay, the emperor's suggestion is good! But... where is the new land for reclaiming? If I remember correctly, the good land in the south Most of them have been reclaimed, if the common people want to reclaim better fields, they can only start from scratch, first dig the mountain road, and then irrigate with good fertilizer, it will take several years to complete the effect!"

He has also considered the idea of ​​reclaiming wasteland, but it will take time. The key point is that the people can't solve the problem of food and clothing now, so how much energy do they have to reclaim wasteland?
But this proposal is good, so the emperor didn't say so much, but let people write down this good proposal first, and wait until the problem is really solved.

King Xuan retreated resentfully. He looked at Mo Lianchen like watching a show, thinking that he couldn't come up with any good suggestions. Thinking about it, Mo Lianchen, a fool who had just recovered, probably had nothing to say. After weighing it again and again, his proposal will be the best answer.The post of southern imperial envoy will fall into his hands.

If even he can't answer father's question well, then Mo Lianchen will not have that ability.Maybe he won't be able to say a word, but Yi Jinning beside him is said to be full of talent since he was a child, but he doesn't know what good suggestions she, a boudoir girl, would have.

Even if Yi Jinning can really ask Mo Yichen to make good suggestions, he doesn't have to worry, the south is his people.It would definitely not be smooth for Mo Lianchen to go to the south, besides...the Marquis of Changyi and Mo Yixuan have already paved the way for him, and his coming to the world is just around the corner.That useless prince... must die.

He covered up the light in his eyes and gave Mo Lianchen a challenging look.

The emperor also cast an expectant look at Mo Lianchen, he was optimistic about this son, Concubine Luo and his son would never be as inactive as they appeared on the surface.

"Cough cough..."

Mo Lianchen spoke out, and the audience fell silent, waiting for him to give an astonishing answer.

Yi Jinning clutched his sleeve, looked at Mo Lianchen, who was not willing to answer, with a calm expression.Ah Chen is pretending, he is pretending to be stupid again!

"I……"

Mo Lianchen held back for a long time, and only uttered the word "I".Some ministers had already started to riot, discussing in low voices, those ministers who were not yet in a stable position, who wanted to vote for Mo Lianchen, had already started to waver.This king of Qing is really as stupid as the rumors say?
"Don't talk if you don't want to talk, I'll come!"

Yi Jinning looked at her husband with clear eyes, the Qing king didn't want to reveal too much, and now the Marquis of Changyi is looking at him!For her to agree to Yi Changhua's going to the south has exceeded his bottom line, she doesn't want to embarrass him!
Clearing her throat, her clear and sweet voice filled the ears of everyone present.

"Father, my lord...he said he didn't want to talk!"

ha?There was another discussion in the audience, and the noisy voice buzzed towards Yi Jinning.She frowned displeasedly, glared at her husband, then continued to look up at Mo Shengge on the throne.

"Father, my husband said... I am his wife, and I will announce his answers. Is it okay?"

She said it carefully, if something bad really angered the emperor, she would not be able to please him.

"allow!"

The emperor only had one word, sympathy. He wanted to see what was so special about Yi Jinning, his daughter-in-law, and what was different about the daughter Yi Changhua taught.He glanced at Yi Changhua, saw that he just kept his head down and didn't speak, and couldn't see his expression clearly.

The emperor was a little displeased, Yi Changhua was always out of his mind these days, could it be that he was reluctant to show his daughter to the public?But she wanted to come here by herself, no one forced her, he didn't hold her accountable for not kneeling, Yi Changhua is still angry with a bastard?
"Then... Ning'er just said it!"

"Speak!"

The emperor can't wait any longer, the flood in the south is imminent, and the common people are in dire straits.The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and a group of ministers always bothered him about this matter, which really gave him a headache.

"Let me first ask the emperor, what do the people need most right now?"

The emperor looked at her strangely, "Of course it is to let the flood pass quickly and resume the previous production and work!"

"No!"

Yi Jinning stood a little forward and looked straight at the emperor. Although her head was raised up, it gave people a sense of looking down that cannot be ignored. She is the posture of facing the world!
The courtiers couldn't help feeling a little emotional, the Concubine Luo back then was nothing more than that!

Yi Jinning said word by word, "No! What the people need most now is food and clothing, three meals and one night! This is what they want most, before, now, and in the future!"
