The fake young lady, who was mistakenly swapped at birth into the Changping Marquisate, insisted on leaving the Marquisate to return home and become a village girl. The entire capital waited to see...
Sheng Mingyu was not polite at all. He put on a wicked smile and wanted to throw the imperial teacher in.
"Don't! If you don't let her do her own research, she'll be miserable for the rest of her life. Just let her do it. Besides, there's no danger. I'll be guarding outside all the time, and I can handle any accidents."
The Imperial Master quickly shook his head and wanted to run away.
Sheng Mingyu has really become worse and worse recently. He loses his rationality whenever it comes to Gu Yunni.
If you really throw yourself in there, who will deal with any accidents that happen outside?
The two were playing outside when Gu Yunni's door was finally opened, and a huge smile appeared on her face.
Seeing the two of them, he laughed out loud.
"I've found the basis for the spell. It's actually not particularly difficult, just some clever thinking! I thought he figured it out on his own, but it turns out he was just an improvement based on the spells of his predecessors."
Gu Yunni was very happy and couldn't wait to share the good news with the two of them.
As long as we discover some principles, this problem can be easily solved.
"Then tell me how this spell was developed? Why didn't I see it?"
The Imperial Master was also drawn to her attention and had no intention of playing around with Sheng Mingyu. He ran straight to Gu Yunni.
"It's about deviant ways. You haven't read those books, have you? This is all adapted from books about deviant ways. I've been reading those books these past two days and found some clues in them."
When mentioning this, Gu Yunni's face was full of disdain. She had thought she had met her match before.
After reading those books, she realized that this person was not worthy of being her opponent at all. Her opponent should at least be honest.
"I see!"
The Imperial Master nodded thoughtfully, also with disdain.
"Then what should we do next? Even if you break these spells, we won't be able to find the person, and he will still be at large."
When Gu Yunni came out, the Imperial Master started talking about serious matters again.
The spell is indeed important, but catching the talent is the most important thing.
"I haven't really thought about it yet. He disappeared without leaving any trace. I couldn't catch him at all. Even if I break the spell now, there's no way I can catch him back then."
Gu Yunni looked embarrassed. She had been thinking about this matter in her room for many days, but there was no result. She could only tell the truth.
We can only wait and see how lucky those yamen runners and guards are.
"There's no rush. Let's take our time. Kyoto just replied that repairs to the canal dam can begin. I have nothing to do these days, so why don't we go together?"
"good."
Sheng Mingyu didn't want to put so much pressure on Gu Yunni, so she could only change the subject.
Although the people are important, we can't force them to death if we can't find them, right?
The Imperial Master curled his lips and didn't say much.
That's indeed the case. If he himself can't find it, he can't force Gu Yunni to look for it.
"Your Highness, we have all been waiting for news at home for so many days. You called us here today. Is it time to start repairing the canal dam? In which direction should the repairs be carried out?"
"Yes! You just said a few words at the time, but didn't give us any specific directions. If we follow your method, wouldn't it be very difficult?"
The people also know what is right and wrong. After going home these days and thinking about what Sheng Mingyu said, they felt that he was very reasonable.
Coming here today, I was also more enthusiastic towards Sheng Mingyu.
"Fill in the gaps, especially the beginning and the end. They need to be renovated. The blueprints will be distributed to everyone shortly. I know you may not understand them, so I will send a guard to explain them to you."
Sheng Mingyu also had a faint smile on his face. These people were all reasonable, and he couldn't put on a dead face.
He was also very excited because he finally accomplished what he wanted to do.
"Ah?" The people looked at each other in surprise.
"This... isn't a good idea, is it? Since ancient times, blueprints have not been allowed to be passed on to the people, for fear that someone would leak them. Why don't you, Your Highness, just explain it to us like this?"
"Yes, Your Highness, even if you want us to repair it, don't cause you any trouble. It's better to do it in a way that is convenient for you and don't take care of us."
These people also knew that Sheng Mingyu was a good person, and they had heard of Sheng Mingyu's reputation before, so they all cared about him.
Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is favored, he cannot do such a ridiculous thing.
"Don't worry, everyone. The blueprint I gave you isn't the full blueprint. I just marked the beginning and end. It's mainly for your convenience. I've also discussed this with His Majesty, and His Majesty has given me permission."
Hearing what the people said, Gu Yunni laughed while standing there. Only by treating each other sincerely can one gain the same feelings.
The people were finally relieved and stopped trying to comfort him. They took the drawings in their hands and began to look at them carefully.
"How was it? Actually, it feels pretty good to interact with the people firsthand. You used to be too high and mighty. You should spend more time with the people in the future. They won't let you down."
The national teacher likes to get close to the crowd and is very familiar with many of the people.
Looking at Sheng Mingyu's smug face, his theories had never been wrong.
"It's okay."
Sheng Mingyu nodded proudly without giving too much praise.
The Imperial Master is like a pug; if he is praised enough, he will wag his tail.
"Your Highness, we've already reviewed this map. It doesn't have any major issues, and it's fairly simple. How about we start working on it tomorrow? It's getting late today, and if we start, I doubt we'll be able to sleep well tonight."
"Yes! We must come early tomorrow. The flood season is approaching, and we are also anxious. We don't want Your Highness to be the only one who remembers it."
After looking at the drawings, the people seemed to be filled with strength.
They have been repairing the dam for many years. It is easy to tell at a glance whether this drawing is useful or not. It is indeed much better than before.
"Alright! Then let's follow your plan. Just come early tomorrow. I'll take my guards to clean up the dam today, which will make it easier for you to start."
"yes."
Sheng Mingyu did what he said and he and Gu Yunni were busy around here for the whole afternoon.
Both of them did the work themselves and did not just leave it to the people under their control.
"Alright, alright! We've been busy all afternoon, and we've almost finished preparing everything. Let's go back to the mansion and rest. You two should get up early tomorrow. If the people don't see you, they probably won't start the work."
The Imperial Master watched the two men work and followed them to do some of the work, gasping for breath from exhaustion.
I wonder how Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni managed to hold on? He wasn't exactly pampered, but farm work was still tiring.
After returning to the mansion, they packed up and went back to their rooms to rest after dinner. There was still a tough battle to fight tomorrow, and no one dared to delay.
