Lin Rufeng looked at the direction Mo Li left, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and finally laughed out loud.
When Ning Guzhou and his party came back, the Qin Prince's Mansion was filled with life, and he liked it very much.
Lin Rufeng turned around and saw Mu Yunxiu standing not far away. He knew that Mu Yunxiu had watched the conversation between him and Mo Li just now.
When he invited them, Tang Miaoxin introduced them to each other, and the two of them were considered acquaintances.
Lin Rufeng smiled and said, "Mr. Mu will laugh."
Mu Yunxiu's eyebrows were gentle: "The relationship between Lin Changshi and Guard Mo is so good, it's enviable."
Lin Rufeng smiled, there was nothing to say about this matter.
He said to Mu Yunxiu: "Mr. Mu has just arrived in Qinzhou. If you are missing something, you can come to me at any time."
Mu Yunxiu said casually: "Lin Changshi acted in a prudent and thoughtful manner, and the layout of the house was very appropriate. There is nothing missing."
"I'm just curious about something, and I'd like to ask Lin Changshi to help me clarify it."
Lin Rufeng looked gentle and said: "I wonder why Mr. Mu is curious?"
Mu Yunxiu said slowly: "This time we came all the way from Guiqian and passed through Chenzhou and Qingzhou. The drought in these two state capitals is very serious."
"Logically speaking, Qinzhou is located farther west and should be more short of water."
"But after I entered Qinzhou, I found that everything was green and there was no sign of water shortage."
"So I want to ask Lin Changshi, is it God's blessing on Qinzhou? Isn't Qinzhou short of water?"
"Or is it because of other reasons?"
Lin Rufeng smiled and said: "It is better to count on ourselves than to count on God's favor."
"Qinzhou has never had abundant rainfall, so the yield of crops in the fields is not much."
"After the prince arrived in Qinzhou, he asked people to build canals in order to divert the snow water from Tianshan Mountain to Qinzhou."
"This canal has been repaired for several years, but it was not completed until last year. Qinzhou had a good harvest last year."
"Looking at the momentum, this year's harvest should be better than last year's."
On the way here, Mu Yunxiu discussed with Ning Guzhou how to alleviate the drought in Qingzhou and Chenzhou. Ning Guzhou also talked about building canals.
His previous idea was to divert water from the south to the north to alleviate the disaster.
Now listening to Lin Rufeng's words has expanded his thinking.
When Lin Rufeng talked about this matter, he had too much to say, even if he helped Mu Yun repair the science and Puning Guzhou after arriving in Qinzhou.
After Mu Yunxiu heard what Lin Rufeng said, he admired Ning Guzhou.
Further north in Qinzhou, there are continuous snow-capped mountains.
The snow in the snow-capped mountains never melts all year round. In summer, the outer layer of snow will melt and gather together to form a river.
Under the snow-capped mountains, there are lush vegetation. The river follows the terrain, merges into Linyuan, and crosses Linyuan.
Under the irrigation of this river, the thousands of miles of Linyuan along the river have dense vegetation and become a vast grassland.
To a certain extent, this river is the mother river of Linyuan.
Before Ning Guzhou came to Qinzhou, although the source of the river was in Dayan, no one used it.
Everyone thinks that the river belongs to Linyuan, not Dayan.
When Ning Guzhou first proposed the idea of building the canal, there were not many people who opposed it.
Because building canals consumes both manpower and financial resources.
Qinzhou is notoriously poor in Dayan.
When Ning Guzhou came to Qinzhou, although he brought a lot of money with him, Qinzhou was too poor and needed money everywhere.
He had already broken with Emperor Cheng Ming, and it was impossible for the court to give them money to build canals.
Furthermore, the Linyuan people have always felt that the river belongs to them. If Qinzhou wants to build a canal to divert water, it will inevitably trigger a war between Qinzhou and Linyuan.
Ning Guzhou insisted on building the canal against all opinions. At that time, Linyuan's cavalry happened to come to Qinzhou to rob.
Ning Guzhou led Ning Changping and the Qinzhou soldiers and horses who had only run away when they saw the Linyuan people before, and beat Linyuan's cavalry to a pulp.
That battle was very difficult for Ning Guzhou, because the soldiers and horses in Qinzhou were too weak, and the aristocratic families in Qinzhou did not cooperate.
Although he won in the end, he also paid a heavy price.
Ning Guzhou then used battle to raise his troops, and soon developed a fierce army of soldiers and horses, defeating Linyuan several times in succession.
At the same time, he also revised a series of Qinzhou's decrees:
Grow fields, build canals, raise troops, and raise horses.
It was very difficult to implement these decrees at the beginning. Ning Guzhou directly led his people to raid several aristocratic families to calm down the internal troubles.
It was not until the second year that the situation in Qinzhou improved, and canal construction was really put on the agenda.
Lin Rufeng sighed: "It took several years to build this canal, which was very difficult."
"If it weren't for the prince's firm mind and thunderous methods, I'm afraid Qinzhou would have let those turtle bastards from Linyuan suppress him and beat him."
"In Qinzhou today, Linyuan is no longer someone who can bully at will."
Mu Yunxiu had been a military advisor in Rongzhou for several years, and he knew that Lin Rufeng's simple words had wiped out a lot of Ning Guzhou's hard work.
The situation in Rongzhou is much better than that in Qinzhou. It was very difficult when he implemented the New Deal.
He said softly: "No wonder His Highness falls in love with King Qin."
When he lost to Ning Guzhou, he was truly convinced.
If you tell him the truth and let him do such a thing, he will never be able to do this like Ning Guzhou.
Lin Rufeng said with a smile: "My prince and princess separated at the beginning. He knew that only when he became stronger would he have the right to speak."
"He doesn't want to find the princess and have her suffer with him."
"Although Qinzhou is not a wealthy place at the moment, it is also very windy and sandy. It cannot compare with the land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River, nor can it compare with the wealth and wealth in the capital."
"But it is no longer the poor Qinzhou it was before. Now we are no longer short of rice, and the people will no longer be hungry."
Mu Yunxiu said softly: "Qinzhou is located in a remote place, but it is not easy to achieve what it has achieved today."
"I once took care of a state's chores in Rongzhou, and I know how difficult it is to do these things."
"The King of Qin has been away from Qinzhou for nearly a year, but Qinzhou can still be managed in an orderly manner, and Chang Shi Lin has contributed a lot to it."
What he said was a compliment from the bottom of his heart.
If Lin Rufeng is incompetent, once Ning Guzhou leaves Qinzhou, there will probably be chaos here.
Lin Rufeng let out a long sigh and said, "I really didn't do anything. I just followed the decree made by the prince."
"To be honest, if the prince doesn't come back, there will probably be chaos in Qinzhou."
As if in response to his words, the servants in the palace hurried over holding a soldier covered in blood.
Lin Rufeng's expression changed slightly: "What's going on?"
The soldier replied: "The people from Linyuan led their men to destroy our canals."
"When Master Ruan led troops to protect the canal, he fought with the Linyuan people."
"This time the Linyuan people came with great force. Lord Ruan brought not many soldiers and horses, and they were trapped under the Hewu Snow Mountain."
"I fought my way out of the siege and came to report the news. I also asked you to send troops to rescue Lord Ruan."
