Yue Li waved Feng Qiyue's sign language and said drunkenly: "What I want to do is very simple, but I just want a place of Taoyuan, no disputes are enough."

Feng Qiyue was startled when she heard this, so is this what you want?

Chapter 28

After waking up the next day, Yueli couldn't remember what he had said to Feng Qiyue in the carriage. It was the first morning court today, and Yueli packed up and went to the palace without any delay. Last night, Yueli and a group of officials I have already seen that the gentry officials in the early court were quite enthusiastic about Yueli, but the humble officials simply greeted Yueli and ignored Yueli. They have not yet solved the problem Yueli asked them yesterday. No one dared to find Yueli boring again.

The princess came to court and declared Yueli to be Minister of the Ministry of Industry and to take charge of all matters related to the opening of the canal. A group of poor officials kept looking at Jimo's face, trying to see dissatisfaction from her face. Who knows that Jimo has cultivated well It was very calm, and there was no change on the surface. The poor official gloated and thought, "Pretend, you continue to pretend." No one knows that Jimo is Yan Xiang's apprentice, and it is Yan Xiang who proposed to open the canal. Now he is in charge of the canal The one who opened it was Xie Mian who came from Yongcheng, and Ji Mo, the new top scholar, now wants to work under Xie Mian's subordinates, how much this empress does not want to see their gentry!You should have framed Wang Qing and offended the Crown Princess back then!All the humble officials instantly felt a lot relieved.

There was nothing to do in the early court and the next court, although the poor family officials were still not very enthusiastic about Yueli, they all said goodbye to Yueli amicably. On the other hand, the officials of the gentry gathered here as if they didn't see the attitude of the poor family officials Chatting and walking with Yueli, Yueli also talked to them with a smile, and when they got out of the palace gate, Ji Mofang said: "Master Xie, why don't you go to the Ministry of Industry together like an official?"

Yueli asked: "Master Ji is also in the Ministry of Industry?"

Ji Mo said: "The next official is the left servant of the Ministry of Industry."

It was only then that Yueli understood why the attitudes of those humble officials were so weird. However, since Ji Mo invited him, and it was the first time for Yueli to go to the Ministry of Industry, it was natural for someone to take it with him. The other official laughed and said, "I Let's also go to the Ministry of Industry with Mr. Xie and you two."

Yueli looked at the official, he looked familiar, and the official introduced himself: "Xiaguan Huangfuting, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry."

Hearing her name, Yue Li thought of someone and asked, "Do you know Huangfu Xue?"

Huangfuting smiled embarrassedly and said: "She is the cousin of the lower official, speaking of which, you have met the lower official and your lord in Yongcheng."

Yue Li smiled and said: "There is no need to mention the past, your sister has helped me a lot now in Yongcheng, she is now compiling books for the students with Yan Xuezi, I admire it very much."

Hearing Xie Mian's words, several noble officials around were relieved.At the beginning in Yongcheng, they made troubles for Xie Mian, and later the competition with Xie Mian was very noisy, even though they lost in the end, who knows if Master Xie still remembers the grudge?The people in Huangfuting who came to Beijing didn't know that there was a change in the middle, they only knew that Huangfuxue and the others were arranged to be teachers, and now that Xie Mian came to Beijing and won the holy family, and the official position was above everyone else, if she wanted to take revenge on the few people But easy.

After talking about this matter, the officials were a little more enthusiastic when they said goodbye to Yueli, and Yueli also responded with a smile.

Afterwards, the three of them got into the carriage together and went to the Ministry of Industry. Speaking of which, Jimo is also very upset now. Since she was troubled by Yueli's question in Yongcheng, she was cheated by Yueli again. Although she can't explain why, but I have always wanted to find Yueli, but I didn't expect her to be in Yongcheng all the time, and she had a lot of contact with Yan Yan. Thinking about this made her very depressed. Yesterday she specially wrote a long letter to Yan Yan. She complained eloquently about her incompetence in handling affairs, and the depression in her heart had just subsided a little, but she forgot that Yueli had done a disguise back then, and she didn't even recognize him at a glance.Now that she was riding in the same carriage with Yueli, she was a little at a loss, but seeing that Yueli probably didn't remember her again, she felt a little disappointed and a little resentful, she was also a famous student of Fengxiang!

When they arrived at the Ministry of Industry, all the existing officials of the Ministry of Industry came to see the new Lord Shangshu. Yueli saw that there were only four or five people. people?"

Jimo deliberately analyzed the situation of the court for Yueli and explained: "At present, not only the Ministry of Industry, but also the six ministries, there are not many officials. Among the three provinces, Prime Minister Yan is appointed as Zhongshu Province, Fang Xiang is appointed as Minister, and General Zhou is appointed as Minister. Yes. Although the imperial examination was held this year, it was the first time to implement it. Although many officials were recruited, it was not enough to be scattered among the six departments. Now the six ministers are barely ready. Shangshu Qi Ze is from the Qi family of the empress dowager, Xia Lanfeng, the minister of punishment, is from the Xia family, and Wang Changbai, the minister of rites, is from the royal family of the gentry. , and you, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Murong Bai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wu Ke, the left servant of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Ying, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, are the confidantes of the empress. It’s enough to have any conflict with the people in the Ministry of Punishment.”

This time, Ji Mo was very interesting, not only was he not dissatisfied with being Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but he was also able to sincerely analyze the situation in the court for himself, Yue Li said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for telling me this."

Jimo smiled and said: "My lord, you don't have to be polite, even if the official doesn't say anything, you will know this. The official is just trying to please you."

Yue Li chuckled and said, "Master Ji is very interesting." Ji Mo's face became hot when he heard that.

Seeing that Jimo was funny and easy to get along with, Yueli spoke more casually and asked: "The canal issue has been proposed for about two months. Has the Ministry of Industry made any preparations?"

Ji Modao: "Fengxiang is famous and good at water conservancy. Three people have been summoned, and the detailed topographic map of the canal route has been drawn. It's just that everyone hasn't discussed where and how to excavate the regulations."

Yueli asked, "Where is that topographic map?"

Jimo said: "Wait a minute." Then he went to get the topographic map.

Yueli unfolded the topographic map and put it on the table. Although she had this idea at the beginning, the map she hastily prepared was not as good as this one. She carefully examined the map. The county painting is so clear that the nearby water system and size trend are marked. It seems that the person who drew this map is also a capable person.Yue Li lowered his head to study the map seriously, while Jimo looked at her in a daze and didn't know what to think.

Yueli looked up and saw that Ji Mo was looking at him, as if he was in a daze, and asked, "Master Ji?"

Ji Mofang came back to his senses and said a little unnaturally: "What are your orders?"

Seeing Jimo come back to his senses, Yue Li asked with a smile, "Where are those people? Can the person who drew this topographic map be with them?"

Jimo restrained his emotions and smiled: "They are all arranged in the official residence of the Ministry of Industry, should I send someone to send them?"

Yueli nodded and said, "Thank you."

Jimo went out and ordered people to tell the three craftsmen, and they all arrived after a while, and after meeting with Yueli, Yueli told them to sit down.

Yueli sized up the three of them and asked, "Who made this topographic map?"

The three of them were all in their forties, and the younger woman, who looked ordinary but had a calm temperament, stood up and said, "This is made by a villain with his disciples."

Yueli asked: "What's your name?"

"The villain's name is Sima Fu"

Yue Li smiled and said, "The picture is very good."

Sima Fu said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your honor."

Yueli said: "I have a map, so why don't you tell me where the canal started to be excavated?"

Another woman about forty years old came up and pointed to the topographic map and said: "Master, this canal may as well be divided into seven sections. It is best to dig the first section. Here, it starts from the Qingjiang River in Nanjun and crosses the Jiqu Canal. Shashui and Lishui are the first section to Wujun. This section is the longest and has a lot of water. In addition to the three major rivers, there are many large and small lakes. To dig the most complicated section, the canal is It is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive project, and it will not be effective for several years. If this section can be opened first, it can be put into use immediately, and the remaining sections only need to be opened slowly according to the marks on the map."
