The power of women is highly respected

The rain fell day and night, and the servant girl's heart sank little by little. When she saw Qingdai with a smile on her face, her heart sank to the bottom.

Before she could even finish her question, Qing Dai retorted, "No hurry, no hurry, there's no hurry for anything. Other things are minor, but getting wet on the maid is a big deal."

The maid smiled and said, "I am an ignorant maid. Please forgive me and don't bother with her. Catching up with His Highness is the most important thing now."

My second sister is taking care of His Highness's safety, so you don't need to worry about it. Just take care of yourself.

You turned a four-day driving journey into nine days. Look at you going back with this cinnabar hat on your neck and this head... Qingdai put away her playful look, stared at her, and quickly looked away after three seconds.

The other party had never seen such a scene before, and was immediately frightened.

Poor her, the longest journey she had ever walked was to Beijing to take the imperial examination. She was threatened and teased along the way, and was driven to her destination trembling with fear all the way.

Qingdai's mood was far from as calm as she appeared. She was very anxious. The closer she got to Zhunan, the more information she could get.

The second sister's letter contained very little information. She only said that His Highness was doing well and asked her not to worry. She should let the maid of the Ministry of Works arrange all matters related to the journey.

But, good, what good is good? Good, can Her Highness be good? There are many refugees in Zhunan who hate the court and are rioting...

In fact, she was worrying for nothing, because Yan Yuni was indeed living a good life, with no worries about food and clothing, and she had also won the support of a small number of people.

When she saw the high earthen walls on both sides, she clapped her hands and said inwardly: "It's better to drain than to block!"

She was careless. She saw that many things here were very similar to the ancient Tang Dynasty, so she subconsciously brought this dynasty in.

Alas! This is not the prosperous and powerful Tang Dynasty, this is the unknown dynasty where women are supreme.

Yan Yu Ni shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

After all, Yan Yu Ni is only thirteen years old in the eyes of others, so it is very difficult to convince others.

She directly called Hei Dai out and asked her to find someone to dig the ditch.

At that time, she realized for the first time that the maid of the Ministry of Works was not completely useless.

After all, in that situation, she could just capture the maid to do the work, which would not only be easier and more convenient than calling Hei Dai, but would also save some trouble.

After finishing her instructions, Yan Yuni slowly turned around and invited King Zhunan to have a chat, ignoring Yu Ziqing's gaze.

No one knew what the two of them talked about. All they knew was that Hei Dai's team had grown from four people at the beginning to eight, ten, a hundred, and was even heading towards a thousand.

"Pass the order down. In addition to providing food and drink for those who dig ditches and build canals, each person will be rewarded three copper coins a day."

Yan Yu Ni's words were passed down, but as for who would pay for it? Her eyes turned to the direction where the Prince of Zhunan was standing... Anyway, it was impossible for her, Yan Yu Ni, to pay for it.

Drainage, drainage, drainage!

Under Yan Yuni's guidance, the water level gradually dropped and the flooded villages gradually saw the light of day again.

The people in the disaster saw a turning point and put down their knives and sticks, picked up shovels and joined the trench digging team.

You shovel and I shovel, and together we divert the water to another place.

When Yan Yu Ni saw this scene, she felt both relieved and worried.

In order to better control floods and save the people in southern Zhuhai from the suffering of floods, Yan Yu Ni stayed up late to improve her geographical knowledge of southern Zhuhai.

To divert the water into the sea requires the cooperation of the three cities of Li'nan City, Yun'nan City, and Mo'nan City.

We need to come up with a foolproof plan! Yan Yu Ni sighed silently in her heart.

Because she knew that it would not be long before the ditch would be dug to Yunan City. The ditch could not go deep into Yunan because the terrain of Yunan was extremely low. If the water entered Yunan City, it would be another disaster.

The only way is to go around, but where to go around and where to go around?

No, the most important thing now is to find something else for these people to do. They must not continue digging.

"Pass the order down and stop moving forward." After saying that, she pinched her eyebrows hard.

As expected, some people below were not happy with the situation, but fortunately she was well prepared and managed to contain the riot to a small circle.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Early in the morning, two young women dressed in fancy clothes and looking tired were walking on the construction site, talking and stopping along the way.

It has been three days since the workers were laid off.

Yan Yu Ni felt that these three days were as long as three years, and so did Yu Ziqing.

Even though Yan Yu Ni had explained the pros and cons to her, she still wanted to divert the trouble to other families. Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not other families.

The four cities of Li'nan, Zhu'nan, Yun'nan and Mo'nan all belong to the territory of Zhu'nan.

When Yan Yu Ni first learned about this, her brows were furrowed so sharply that they could have pinched a fly to death.

It’s too big, the king’s territory is too big!

"Your Highness"

Ah, Yan Yuni came back to her senses, looked at her with dull eyes, and soon regained her clarity.

"I'm sorry."

Hearing the apology and looking at the apologetic eyes on the other side, even though she had a bad temper, she couldn't get angry anymore.

"Ahem, Your Highness, what were you thinking about just now? I called you three times but you didn't wake up."

"No." Yan Yu Ni waved her hand and told her to continue.

"Your Highness, I just said that Yunan also belongs to Zhunan territory, so it's no problem to lead it there. We can relocate the people of Yunan City in advance, and then release the water as soon as possible."

Seeing Yan Yuni's serious expression, she shut up.

After a while, she didn't speak, Yu Ziqing said weakly: "When necessary, you can only give up one thing."

Improper

Unlike Yan Yu Ni who answered in her heart, King Zhunan who had followed her out of nowhere said it directly.

After being refuted by his own mother, Yu Ziqing didn't know what to say and left in a hurry.

The person who was leaving turned around unwillingly to look at the two people behind him, and he looked for a long time without being able to turn back.

The Sixteenth Princess walked calmly, standing beside her mother, the Queen, who had accumulated power for many years, and was no less impressive.

She lowered her head, hiding the loneliness in her eyes, and left dejectedly.

"Auntie, let me be honest with you. I really have no idea how to divert the water to the sea."

"Hehe" King Zhunan chuckled.

Yan Yu Ni looked at her in confusion and thought: What's wrong? Is there any solution?

"Xiao Shiliu, your idea is good, but it is difficult to implement."

Yan Yu Ni nodded, then quickly looked down at the tip of her shoe, "I'm ashamed to say this!"

"No, no, no," King Zhunan said as he touched her head affectionately and unskillfully to comfort her.

"Little Sixteen, everyone has his or her own specialty. The Ministry of Works' maid will take care of the matter of dredging the waterway."

Ah! Yan Yu Ni looked up in shock, "Unblock the waterway?" The waterway hasn't been unblocked yet?

The charming woman on the opposite side nodded, "According to what the servant of the Ministry of Works said, the waterway you dug is so crooked and twisted. It's like an outsider repairing a gate. It will be ruined sooner or later."

what?

Oh.

Yan Yu Ni lowered her head and said nothing. She knew what kind of person she was. She fantasized about making a big splash in Zhunan, about the people of Zhunan lining the streets to welcome her, about the streets being deserted wherever she went, and about the people supporting her.

Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The reality is that he has to study hard under the lamp at night, run around during the day and wear out three pairs of shoes a day, and endure refugees popping up from time to time and throwing "hidden weapons" at them... and being scolded as a dog official.

Just when Yan Yu Ni was extremely worried, the maid from the Ministry of Works finally arrived with Qing Dai's sarcasm.

She is finally here!

Seeing Yan Yu Ni's eyes light up when she heard her say "maid", he thought it was funny, patted her on the back and said softly, "Every profession has its own specialty."

Well, well, well, everyone has their own specialty. If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job...

Phew, I can finally have a good sleep for a while. Yan Yuni yawned for a long time and bowed to her to leave.
