Chapter 259
Xiao Lintian knew as soon as he heard that Ling Yu had figured out the key.
He looked at Ling Yu strangely, feeling more and more that this woman was very smart.
Last night at Lu Xiang's house, Xiao Lintian was still thinking about how to persuade Lu Xiang, but he didn't know that he didn't have to step forward at all.
Ling Yu's impassioned speech persuaded Prime Minister Lu.
Xiao Lintian was listening nearby, and his blood was boiling with what Ling Yu said.
He couldn't imagine that Ling Yu, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun before, could be serious about caring for the country and the people!
Xiao Lintian thought at that time that if Ling Yu were a man, he must be a general!
This eloquence is unparalleled!
As he thought about it, he unconsciously let out the depression in his heart.
"Empress Father came to meet me alone in the imperial garden and agreed that I should work in the court again!"
"That's good!" Ling Yu was happy for Xiao Lintian.
"Sooner or later you will be able to stand up. If you enter the court early, you will not be completely out of touch with military and political affairs!"
Xiao Lintian said in annoyance: "But I want to join the Ministry of War, but my father arranged for me to go to the Ministry of Industry!"
"What can the Ministry of Industry do? Every day is a trivial matter!"
Ling Yu had already made some misinformation about the history of Western Qin, and frowned when he heard it.
"I don't agree with your concept!"
"The Ministry of War is responsible for the national military guard, the selection and appointment of military attachés, and the concise government orders. It looks really impressive! The power is intimidating!"
"The Ministry of Industry is responsible for civil engineering, water conservancy projects, and machinery manufacturing projects across the country. It may seem like trivial matters, but it is responsible for major matters that truly benefit the country and the people!"
Ling Yu said excitedly: "You should carefully study the functions of the Ministry of Works. If nothing else, just take water conservancy as an example."
"Xiao Lintian, how many places are there where the construction of water canals is not perfect, making it difficult for people to farm? When there is heavy rain, farmland is flooded, and even homes are destroyed?"
“If water conservancy projects are done well, canals can be used for irrigation in dry seasons, drainage can be released during flood seasons, and wet and silted land can be turned into fertile farmland!”
"If agriculture develops well and the people have no worries about food and clothing, wouldn't Western Qin's national power flourish?"
Ling Yu talked so eloquently that Xiao Lintian opened his eyes in astonishment. Is there such a great use for the Ministry of Works?
Before, he only thought that the Ministry of Industry was responsible for building houses, building dams, building royal tombs, etc. He never thought that the Ministry of Industry had so many functions!
Xiao Lintian was a little ashamed. Before, he only studied military books and learned the art of leading troops.
After being told by Ling Yu, Xiao Lin realized that he was being narrow-minded!
To govern a country well, it requires more than just being good at martial arts and being able to lead troops well!
These things that I have neglected before must be studied hard!
Xiao Lintian was thinking when he suddenly heard Lu Nan's voice coming from outside.
"Wenshuang, what kind of delicious food can you give to the prince?"
When Xiao Lintian heard this, he remembered the last time Qiu Wenshuang spilled bird's nest soup on his lap.
Could it be that Qiu Wenshuang still didn't give up and saw Ling Yu entering his study room and came to test it again?
Hearing the footsteps already at the door, Xiao Lintian narrowed his eyes, grabbed Ling Yu's hand, and pulled her to sit on his lap...
"ah!"
Ling Yu was startled. She was just talking. What was Xiao Lintian going to do?
Before Ling Yu could struggle, Xiao Lintian held her head down and pressed it to his chest.
He said softly: "Ayu, don't be sad, this grievance... I will take care of it for you!"
The door creaked open, and Qiu Wenshuang walked in carrying a food box.
She suddenly saw Ling Yu sitting on Xiao Lintian's lap, and Xiao Lintian was holding Ling Yu and comforting her.
Qiu Wenshuang was startled and stood there awkwardly and jealously.
Has the relationship between Xiao Lintian and Ling Yu gotten so good?!
