The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding
Chapter 177: Only 3 years to return to the fertile land
Upon hearing this, Li Linpu straightened up suddenly from his upright sitting position.
There was a cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes, and he sneered in his heart, thinking: "This Ye Feng really thinks he is invincible. He might die halfway while touring the world."
He knew very well in his heart that Ye Feng had no cultivation at all, and it would be extremely difficult for others to kill him when he was leading thousands of troops.
However, he couldn't go out with thousands of troops when he was touring the country. At most, he could only bring a guard. If someone wanted to kill him, it would be very easy.
"The Lord of the State is willing to inspect the world for Your Majesty and rectify the Song Dynasty. This is a blessing for countless people in the Song Dynasty. I deeply admire and respect him."
Li Linpu's words rang out, and a light flashed in the depths of his old eyes. If Ye Feng was killed while touring the world, that would be great.
"Zhen Guojun is wise!"
When Li Xun saw his father suddenly praising Ye Feng like that, he understood the deep meaning behind it, so he also walked forward and bowed to Ye Feng.
Officials such as Minister of Rites Tan Zijian and Minister of Works Qu Xuan also followed suit in praising Ye Feng. None of them was willing to be left behind and wanted to praise Ye Feng to the skies.
Yu Shouren frowned slightly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think now is not the best time to inspect the country. When the spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, the special forces will be established. It will be a good time to lead the newly established army to inspect the Song Dynasty and boost the morale of the entire Song Dynasty."
Fan Jin and others also agreed. They did not want Ye Feng to take risks to tour the world. If any accidents happened on the way, Li Linpu would never let them go, given his character.
"Master Yu, are you disobeying the Emperor?" Li Linpu said coldly, "The Emperor is now in charge of the Song Dynasty on behalf of Your Majesty. His words are law. Since he has decided to tour the country, we, as officials of the Song Dynasty, should fully support him. How can we disobey the etiquette?"
"Holding evil intentions is not necessarily a good thing." Yu Shouren snorted coldly. Now that he has become the Minister of War, he is not afraid of Li Linpu at all and retorted angrily.
Outside the court, Zhao Qiuyan looked a little worried. She didn't understand why Ye Feng wanted to tour the world. She had never heard Ye Feng mention this matter before.
Li Linpu was eager for Ye Feng to tour the world. Given the current situation of the Song Dynasty, many people wished that Ye Feng would die. If Ye Feng stayed in Jinling City, Zhao Qiuyan was a great master, and there were many troops outside the city. Even if they wanted to kill Ye Feng, they would not dare to act rashly.
However, if Ye Feng led everyone out to patrol the world, they would most likely encounter ambushes and assassinations everywhere, which would become very dangerous.
In the court, officials headed by Yu Shouren, Fan Jin, Xue Gui and others did not agree with Ye Feng's tour of the country. Many officials headed by Li Linpu wanted Ye Feng to leave quickly.
Ye Feng looked at the civil and military officials, waved his hand gently, and said with a smile: "Since I have decided to tour the country, my words are my bond. You don't need to say more."
"Zhen Guojun is wise!"
Knowing that Ye Feng was determined to tour the country, Li Linpu sat back in his armchair contentedly. He was in a good mood and asked the two maids beside him to peel two grapes for him.
At this time, the Minister of Works Qu Xuan stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, the flood in Ying County is getting more and more serious, and the people are displaced. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will probably cause public outrage."
There was a smug look in the depths of his old eyes. You know, the flood in Ying County has troubled the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years and has never been solved. But Ye Feng was so shameless that he wanted to recruit people who were good at flood control.
He felt that he was not an incompetent person. If the flood in Ying County was so easy to solve, he would have thought of a solution long ago and would not have to wait so long.
"The notice has been issued for several days, but no one has come forward to take over. It seems that it is time to find a Minister of Personnel." Ye Feng hesitated slightly. During this period of time, he had been looking for a candidate for the Minister of Personnel, but he couldn't find a suitable one.
The Minister of Personnel is in charge of the promotion and changes of all officials, as well as the selection of various officials. He must have the ability to select and appoint talented people to be competent.
"Lord Hai, immediately transfer money and food to provide disaster relief to Ying County. We must ensure that the entire Ying County overcomes the current difficulties." Ye Feng looked at Hai Ming again.
"As ordered!"
Hai Ming frowned slightly. If the flood in Ying County could not be solved in the long run, the Song Dynasty would have to spend nearly five million taels of silver every year to support the people of Ying County through the winter.
In the past, the imperial treasury had no money, and many officials watched the flood spread in Ying County. As for the lives of the people, no one cared.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
Xue Gui hurried to the court, breathing heavily, bowing and kneeling, saying, "Your Majesty, there are two people outside the palace gate who claim to be able to solve the flood in Ying County and would like to see you."
Hua Hua Hua...
Many court officials were surprised when they heard this. They were curious about who had the guts to say that he could solve the flood in Ying County.
"Hahaha..." Qu Xuan laughed loudly and looked at Xue Gui: "Commander Xue, are you sure that he can solve the flood in Ying County? Could he be a charlatan who came to the palace to cheat for free food and drink?"
"Whether they are scammers or not, you will know once you see them. Go and bring them in." Ye Feng interrupted Qu Xuan and ordered Xue Gui.
About half an hour later, Xue Gui was seen with two men. They were exhausted and it was obvious that they were trying hard to get to Jinling City.
"Greetings, Lord Zhenguo. I am Li Bing, and he is my son Li Yan. We are from the Western Shu Dynasty, and we are a family that has been conserving water for generations."
Li Bing and Li Yan were shocked when they arrived at the court. They had inquired about Ye Feng's situation along the way and knew that he was very young, but they did not expect him to be so young.
"Li Bing? Li Bing... Why does this name sound so familiar?" Hai Ming frowned slightly, then widened his eyes and said, "You two are the father and son of the Western Shu Dynasty, who built the Nine-Turn Dam and turned Yunzhou City of the Western Shu Dynasty into a fertile land?"
As Li Bing and his son walked into the court, Qu Xuan's face became particularly gloomy.
These two people are obviously from the Western Shu Dynasty, so why did they suddenly appear in the territory of the Song Dynasty?
"It's just a false name."
Li Bing said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Can you two, father and son, control the flood in Ying County?"
Ye Feng didn't waste any time and asked the two of them questions directly.
"Your Majesty, in just three years, my father and I will return the fertile land of Ying County to you. If you cannot accomplish this, I am willing to issue a military order."
Li Bing was still very confident in his ability to control floods. He had also studied the floods in Ying County. It looked complicated, but it was actually very simple once you figured out the principles.
"Hahaha!" Ye Feng laughed loudly several times, his expression calm and composed, and said: "As long as you and your son can control the flood in Ying County, you can ask Lord Hai for any materials and resources you need. In the future, when Ying County returns to peace, you can also be promoted to the Minister of Works."
