78: Your Majesty the Empress is angry and wants to laugh, Tsundere Eunuch Wu?
"Wu Zhongxian, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you know I was resting!?"
When Zhou Nanhuang walked out, his face was sullen.
Her anger was already on her face.
The only eunuch who dared to wake up the emperor was Wu Zhongxian.
Anyone else would have been beheaded!
Eunuch Cao was so frightened that his face changed.
But Wu Zhongxian is not afraid at all!
A decisive expression of giving advice and advice!
No way, who gave him the gold medal to avoid death?
Not to mention waking up the emperor, even if the empress got pregnant, Wu Zhongxian could get away with the death penalty gold medal!
The effect of the death-free gold medal is so abnormal.
Otherwise, how could Wu Zhongxian dare to have the confidence to molest the Queen?
However, if that time comes, even if he is exonerated, there is no guarantee that Zhou Nanhuang will secretly send someone to kill Wu Zhongxian.
After all, the Queen's pregnancy is a big deal.
Of course, this is the worst outcome.
Wu Zhongxian definitely didn't want to turn against the empress.
However, there is no problem in giving her a little tweak to make her sleep uncomfortable.
After all, Wu Zhongxian was busy all night and didn't sleep!
Looking at Zhou Nanhuang with two panda eyes, Wu Zhongxian secretly smiled in his heart, but with a respectful expression on his face, he said very seriously: "Your Majesty, I have already written the plan you want to rectify the wilderness in the north! I think this is the most urgent matter at present.
That’s why I came to disturb His Majesty’s rest! Your Majesty, forgive me!!”
"What did you say?"
Zhou Nanhuang immediately became energetic.
She was originally thinking about how she could teach Wu Zhongxian a lesson and get out of bed.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhongxian suddenly told her such news.
"Did you finish it so quickly?"
Zhou Nanhuang and Eunuch Cao were both confused.
That was a plan related to national affairs. Wu Zhongxian wrote it in just one night?
Could it be perfunctory?
Thinking like this, Zhou Nanhuang frowned and did not take the bamboo slip. Instead, he stared at Wu Zhongxian and warned: "It is a matter of life and death for the people in the north. Don't be perfunctory! Otherwise, even if it is you, I will not forgive you lightly!"
"Um!"
Wu Zhongxian nodded heavily and then stopped moving.
Zhou Nanhuang originally wanted to give Wu Zhongxian a step down and wanted him to take back the plan and revise it.
In the end, I didn’t expect Wu Zhongxian to be so confident.
He nodded without thinking, and nodded firmly.
good!
very good!!
I can't find any reason to take it out on you!
Zhou Nanhuang thought secretly.
Her anger hasn't gone away yet.
Zhou Nanhuang glanced deeply at Wu Zhongxian, then took the bamboo slips and walked towards the imperial study room.
"Mr. Wu, you should think more about it! This plan to control the northern wilderness is too important. Your Majesty has not slept well for several months because of it," Eunuch Cao reminded.
He greatly appreciated and even admired Wu Zhongxian's talent.
I don’t want to see Wu Zhongxian get into trouble because of the dragon’s anger.
Wu Zhongxian is indeed very talented.
But he shouldn't be so arrogant!
A plan to rectify the country's famine was written in one night.
It's really an exaggeration.
Officials from the entire Ministry of Industry spent several months deliberation and failed to come up with any good plan.
Wu Zhongxian wrote the plan in one night, and he was so confident that he would definitely be admitted by His Majesty.
Too confident!
Wu Zhongxian smiled, without explaining too much, and followed the empress to the royal study.
Eunuch Cao couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed.
Sure enough, talented people are somewhat arrogant.
It's just that talent is talent.
Just because he wrote good poems, we cannot think that Wu Zhongxian can write a plan to control the famine.
It would be foolish to confuse the two.
Eunuch Cao didn't quite believe that Wu Zhongxian could write out a plan to control the northern wilderness overnight.
Zhou Nanhuang didn't believe it either.
then.
The atmosphere in the imperial study became quiet.
Eunuch Cao and Wu Zhongxian stood aside in silence.
Zhou Nanhuang opened the bamboo slips and started reading.
What was originally one bamboo slip turned into three.
It was Wu Zhongxian who spent one night "copying" two rough plans.
In fact, as a modern person, Wu Zhongxian was not used to using bamboo slips.
But he still used it.
Zhou Nanhuang was thinking about how to punish Wu Zhongxian, the eunuch, for being angry, while reading the contents on the bamboo slips.
But as she looked at it, her expression suddenly became serious.
Eunuch Cao also noticed the change in His Majesty and couldn't help being surprised.
"Could it be that His Majesty is angry!?"
Eunuch Cao thought to himself that he would put in a few good words for Wu Zhongxian later.
Although Wu Zhongxian is a bit arrogant, he is dedicated to serving the country after all!
Eunuch Cao glanced at Wu Zhongxian, but found that the latter did not look afraid at all.
Still standing with his hands behind his back, his confidence is almost so high!
Eunuch Cao couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Why didn’t you realize that Eunuch Wu was so proud before?
soon.
Zhou Nanhuang put down the bamboo slips and stared at Wu Zhongxian.
"Wu Zhongxian, do you know how much your plan will cost the people, money, and the country?"
Eunuch Cao, who was originally prepared to plead for mercy for Wu Zhongxian, was stunned when he heard this.
What's the meaning?
Waste people and money?
A waste of country and energy??
Your Majesty doesn't seem to mean that the plan won't work?
Eunuch Cao couldn't help but want to see what was written on the bamboo slip.
What kind of governance plan did Mr. Wu write?
"Your Majesty, the world is safe and sound! If you want to establish a foundation that will last forever! Achieve great achievements for all generations! To serve all the people of the world! You must be determined and courageous!!" Wu Zhongxian's voice was high-pitched and impassioned.
Eunuch Cao was stunned by Wu Zhongxian's words.
I almost couldn’t help but clap my hands and say how brave I am!
But Eunuch Cao is a professional after all, and he will not interrupt His Majesty casually before he speaks.
That is an act seeking death.
Zhou Nanhuang stared at Wu Zhongxian and said coldly: "Are you saying that I have no courage?"
"I didn't say anything."
Wu Zhongxian glanced at him, arrogant!
It seems that he is not saying anything, but in fact he is saying that Your Majesty has no courage!
Zhou Nanhuang felt angry and funny in her heart.
Angry that Wu Zhongxian dared to be so bold.
His expression and attitude are also funny.
Quite cute.
However, Zhou Nanhuang was more shocked!
She just used a cold attitude to cover up her shock.
That was the shock to Wu Zhongxian’s South-to-North Water Diversion Plan!!
It's not that Zhou Nanhuang didn't think about the South-to-North Water Diversion project.
The Zhou Dynasty had no shortage of geniuses.
The ministers at the Ministry of Industry have already mentioned it.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou, many people put forward many suggestions.
It's just that the suggestions they made were simply unrealistic.
It's as if the water can fly from the south to the north out of thin air.
Wu Zhongxian’s plan makes up for this.
He clearly listed how to dig the three canals, the routes to be dug, and how to dig and maintain the canals to ensure that the canals will not collapse due to too strong water flow, etc...
It can be seen that Wu Zhongxian has studied it carefully.
It's just that the amount of work is terrible.
It simply cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.
As for how to lead water from low places to high places without water pumps in ancient times.
This matter is also simple. Although Wu Zhongxian copied the strategies of later generations, many places, such as the construction of dams and water pumps, were modified to be more in line with ancient society.
In ancient times, there were also tools for pumping water, which also used the siphon principle. Two containers, one high and one low, were connected by a hollow container to pump water.
Although it is definitely not as easy to use as a water pump, there is definitely no problem in using it, at least it will not make the people in the north die of thirst.
Moreover, the land within Dazhou is relatively flat, so water can be pumped up without the need for water pumps.
It’s just that the amount of work is too large and may not be effective.
Therefore, even the Ministry of Industry did not dare to mention it to the emperor.
Because it’s useless to mention it!
With such a huge expense, it may not be possible to spend all the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And what if something happens when the canal is dug? Who dares to use the heads of the nine tribes to take this responsibility?
"Your Majesty, this is just a rough plan, not a detailed one! Because I haven't made an on-site inspection yet, so I don't know the specific route. If Your Majesty needs it, I can make a detailed plan!"
Anyway, it costs nothing to talk on paper.
Wu Zhongxian just blows it.
Don’t you, Emperor Ren of Zhou, want a plan?
sure!
The plan is given to you!
But if you don't use it, then it means that Your Majesty, the Empress, has no courage.
However, Your Majesty the Empress, the money in the Zhou treasury may not be able to build the canal.
