After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

Chapter 156: Going up the mountain to divert water

Gu Yan'an received the letter from the secret guard and read it carefully with a serious expression.

"It seems that the Third Prince has received a lot of money. No wonder he is so generous in his spending."

There was a strong sense of coldness in his words and his face was extremely gloomy.

The secret guard did not say anything, but just stood silently beside him.

Seeing this, Gu Yan'an burned the letter in his hand as soon as it was cleaned up, and his words revealed a bit of solemnity.

"Watch closely!"

The secret guard finally disappeared in the room, leaving him alone.

Su Jinhua walked in slowly from outside, with a solemn expression on his face and serious eyes.

She was not as lively and energetic as she usually was when she came in. Instead, she seemed to have encountered a setback and was completely overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Gu Yan'an showed worry in his eyes. He pushed the wheelchair forward and asked softly.

"What's wrong with you?"

He was fine when he went out, how come he became like this when he came back?

Su Jinhua felt uncomfortable. He poured himself a cup of tea, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and let out a long breath.

"Things are not going well. There is a serious water shortage in the whole village. There is very little labor in the families, and many people are sick."

It's all because of natural disasters, but they have no way to deal with it.

Gu Yanan didn't expect the situation to become so complicated. It seemed that things were indeed difficult to progress. He was a little worried, with a frown on his face.

"So what should we do about this matter? Have you thought of a solution?"

If God doesn't rain, the people will suffer.

Hearing this, Su Jinhua had an idea in mind. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he poured a cup of tea in front of him, with a hint of joy in his voice.

"My husband, you really hit the nail on the head. I do have an idea in mind, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement."

She observed the terrain and found it was indeed difficult to walk on, but this was also the only source of water for the villagers. There was no other way.

"The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk on. If they can go up the mountain to drink water and connect a pipe down to let the water flow down automatically, they don't have to go up the mountain to carry water."

As she spoke, she took out paper and a brush and began to draw. She was extremely confident.

Gu Yan'an's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he nodded slowly.

"This is a good idea. It will solve the villagers' drinking water problem and also allow them to have water for planting. It's really good."

He looked at the picture in his hand carefully and became more and more satisfied. Now there was only one biggest problem.

Su Jinhua's eyebrows were curved, and there was a hint of tenderness in her voice.

"This is what I should do, but the current situation is a bit complicated. It may be difficult to get these officials to pay. I have to report it to the court."

As long as the emperor agrees to this matter and allows them to implement it, it will be much simpler.

Gu Yanan also secretly began to observe the terrain of Gutian County. In fact, he already had a plan in mind, and the two of them hit it off immediately.

He immediately nodded in agreement and pushed his wheelchair towards the desk.

"I will write a memorial now. I believe the emperor will agree. Then we can relax a little."

The most important thing is that these people now have food to eat and no longer have to worry about water problems.

Gu Yan'an openly sent the memorial to the court. The emperor soon received the news and was deeply worried.

The emperor sat in the center of the seat, his eyes fell on their faces, his brows slightly furrowed, and he spoke softly.

"The current situation in Gutian County is extremely complicated. We need silver. What do you think of this, my dear ministers?"

Naturally, people were whispering among themselves, but no one was tactful enough to express their opinions.

Zhao Wenxuan took a step forward, a smile on his face, his hands resting behind his back.

"In my opinion, the people are suffering right now, so it's understandable that they need money to find a water source. I think it's okay!"

Anyway, the imperial court is not short of this money. What they are afraid of is that this is a bottomless pit and no matter how much money is invested, it will be useless.

Zhao Moxuan's dark eyes dimmed slightly, he pursed his thin lips, and watched him out of the corner of his eyes, his heart a little heavy.

Hearing this, Zhao Jinyu naturally wanted to join in the fun. He walked forward slightly, with a slight smile on his face and a solemn tone in his words.

"What my second brother said makes sense. Gutian County already has a complicated population and still needs our help. If the court is willing to distribute food, I believe the people will also be happy."

This can not only show our attitude, but also can solve most of the problems.

Zhao Moxuan didn't say anything, but just stood silently beside him with a cold look in his eyes.

The emperor thought what they said made sense, nodded slightly, and said something directly.

"That's true. It seems that this amount of money still needs to be allocated."

It's not that he is stingy, he just feels that there is no need to continue doing so.

Zhao Wenxuan didn't want to miss the opportunity to show off, so he immediately knelt on the ground, his face extremely serious, and spoke solemnly.

"Father, why don't you let me handle this matter? What do you think?"

He was originally a military general, and was indeed more suitable in many aspects. If he could transport silver this time, there would surely be no exceptions on the road.

Hearing this, Zhao Moxuan immediately disagreed, frowned, took three or two steps forward, and spoke.

"Second brother is still too anxious. If I let you go, I'm afraid the people will panic. It's really not appropriate."

How could he let go of such a good opportunity to perform?

Zhao Jinyu meant the same thing and stood by to support him, looking worried.

"I know that my second brother wants to do something for the people, but if you go there, I'm afraid these people will think that Gu Yan'an is incapable. Who will they listen to then?"

The only thing I’m afraid of is that there will be two people managing one place. The people may not be satisfied, and it is very likely that internal strife will break out at that time.

There was a sense of irritation in Zhao Wenxuan's eyes, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he felt dissatisfied.

"The two of you please stop talking about me. I just want to do something. Gu Yanan can do whatever he wants. How can I disturb him?"

If I can get him to transport it this time, I can also get close to them and find out what this good brother of mine has done.

Zhao Moxuan was determined not to let him go, and an idea came to his mind, so he knelt down.

"In that case, why not let me go? I also hope to contribute to the people."

Several people were arguing and almost getting into a fight, it was simply because everyone wanted to go.

The emperor just felt a little irritated. He let out a long breath, shook his head helplessly, and patted the table lightly.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about this matter, there are others to go."
