The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

"I want to ask Him for personal healing."

Mao Wenyun looked at Li Yi, "You have a close relationship with Queen Daqian, and you have sneaked into Qin State as Jiang Jin. You are very ambitious at first glance. Chu State must also have a plan."

"..."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Li Yi rolled his eyes, "Xun Xiu's consultation fee is expensive. Even if I invite someone over, what will you give me?"

"Twenty years, I can be at your disposal for twenty years, and I will write a letter as proof." Mao Wenyun looked serious.

Li Yi shook the tea and asked someone to get the pen and ink.

"I can only give it a try. Please tell me if you don't want to get it."

"Who is worthy of spending twenty years of your life to save him?" Li Yi couldn't hold back and leaned over to gossip.

Mao Wenyun stopped writing, with regret in his eyes, "The river transport envoy Shi Xiang."

"Is there such a person?" Li Yi looked at Mao Wenyun suspiciously. He had read the list of officials in the prefectures and counties surrounding the capital city one by one, and he could not just copy them randomly when searching homes.

Li Yi remembers that the river transport envoy was named Feng. Among the officials in Chenglin County who could be named, the only official named Shi was the chief Bo.

"It has been ten years since I was dismissed." Mao Wenyun finished writing the last few words.

"keep going."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Yi nodded on the table. As Mao Wenyun said, she was crazy, not stupid. What was the reason for this? It was worth her twenty years in exchange.

"I checked the case. That year, because of cutting corners, Heti collapsed under the impact of several heavy rains, drowning hundreds of people and displacing hundreds of thousands of people. The blame was ultimately borne by Shi Xiang."

"But the real corrupt person was not him, but the then governor of river transport, Wang Jin."

"Shi Xiang's ancestors were saved from death due to meritorious service. In order to prevent Shi Xiang from revealing the truth, when he was first imprisoned, his tongue was cut, his hands were broken, and even his lumbar spine was not spared."

"The Governor of River Transport was very powerful, and the Criminal Department did not want to cause trouble, so the case was settled."

"I have been in bed for ten years. I have resentments and hatreds in my life, but I am still obsessed with river transportation."

"Wait a minute, I'll get something."

Mao Wenyun hurriedly walked out of the side hall. After about a quarter of an hour, she came back panting. Not bothering to wipe the sweat from her face, she opened a small baggage with several drawings inside.

"This is an idea that Shi Xiang had ten years ago. It has been continuously improved over the years."

Mao Wenyun unfolded one of the drawings, calmed down his breath, and told Li Yi:

"This is the Zhu Canal. After it was opened, it was divided into three sections. The eastern section came from Jiyang, diverting Gushui and Jishui. It followed the old path of Yangqu and poured into the Yellow River from Jishui."

"The middle section from Jikou to Chenjun uses the natural flow of the Yellow River."

"The western section starts from Chen County, diverts the Yellow River water through the old path of Jing Canal, and flows into Xiang River."

"The route along the eastern section of the Shunji Canal is to divert the Yellow River water along the old path of the Jing Canal, into the Fen River, and into the Xiang River."

"Another river channel will be excavated from Chen County to Shu and Suizhou to form a complete circle. It will then be connected in all directions and travel will be convenient, and the economies of various places will be opened up."

Talking about these, Mao Wenyun's face was filled with a look that was more dazzling than the sun.

Li Yi had no intention of admiring the beauty. He stared at the drawing with his eyes almost glued to her. What a talent!

It not only facilitates travel between places, but the most important thing is to transport water from south to north to cope with the frequent droughts in the north. This canal has to be dug, and its achievements need not be praised in history books!

"What's that one?"

Li Yi couldn't help but ask when he saw that there was still one that he hadn't taken out.

"This is an idea that connects Daqian, Qin, Chu, and Rong, but Shi Xiang is unable to stand up and can only listen to other people's stories. He has not personally investigated the changes in the past ten years." Mao Wenyun said quietly.

Li Yi breathed heavily. His goal was to unify several countries, but the sense of belonging could not be achieved in one or two strokes.

The road is far away, making it difficult to carry out trade and reform. He moved the capital just to influence and transform from one point to another step by step.

But this process is very long and extremely slow.

If travel between places changes from months to days, the situation will be completely different.

Having witnessed with their own eyes the prosperity after the Daqian reform, their resistance will be greatly weakened, and policies will not be delayed again and again, and can be carried out.

"Didn't his hand get broken?"

Li Yi looked at the drawings and saw that the traces of this ink could not be older than half a year.

"My hands can't use it, but my feet can."

Li Yi's eyes narrowed. What kind of will and perseverance would it take to endure ten years of hard work? In that situation, Li Yi thought he could not draw a canal that would change the country.

Revenge is probably all he can think about. In this realm, he may have to wait until his next life to become a truly ambitious person who cares about the people.

In every era, there are great people.

Li Yi picked up the deed of betrayal written by Mao Wenyun on the table and tore it into pieces.

"Mao Wenyun, you are admirable." Li Yi's face no longer had the usual laziness, and he spoke every word with utmost seriousness.

Only a few months after she took office, she discovered this unjust case. With Mao Wenyun's attitude in dealing with things, this could not be an accident. It could only be a matter of studying volume after volume and then realizing that something was wrong.

Even though it has been a long time, she did not give up, but chose to investigate and uncover the buried truth.

She is from the Qin State, and logically, she should destroy the blueprints to prevent Da Gan from becoming powerful. However, not only did she not do this, but she chose to treat Shi Xiang and even signed a twenty-year contract to sell herself.

This makes Li Yi feel ashamed. Can everyone be selfish? No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't stand it!

Such a comparison makes him seem like a very different person...

"I always feel like I have to do something. I'll tie up everyone from the Mao family. What do you think?" Li Yi raised a smile, showing his rare courtesy.

Mao Wenyun's face turned dark. She took off the hairpin that bound her hair, looked at the tip, and then at Li Yi.

"What are you doing?" Li Yi's eyes twitched wildly, "If you have something to say, you can't say it properly! Girls, you should be gentler!"

"I will try to ask Xun Xiu. If it is convenient, find a day to take me to see Shi Xiang."

"By the way, why choose me instead of the Queen Mother? She should be more helpful to Shi Xiang.

Li Yilue looked at Mao Wenyun in confusion, "Could it be that you are just pretending to be alienated from me, but deep down, you actually trust me very much?"

Li Yi sniffed immediately and looked like it was worth it. "It's not in vain that I spent so much thought on you. You finally know that I am doing it for your own good."

Mao Wenyun was silent, there was so much drama! After walking a few steps, Mao Wenyun looked out the window and spoke slowly, "Wang Jin and the Lu family of Chen County are related by marriage."

Li Yi was stunned and frowned. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "There will be an explanation for this matter."

"Don't forget to promise me."

Seeing that Li Yi was about to leave, Mao Wenyun stared at him intently.

"I will never break my promise." Li Yi looked at the drawings on the table, turned his head, and walked away with his clothes in the wind.

He respects capable people from the bottom of his heart and hates them being harmed by villains.

This destroyed not just one person, but tens of millions of people.

A genius in history that is hard to come by in a hundred years!
