Qin Zhan pulled Qin Wan away. Xie Qing looked at Qin Wan, who only smiled and said nothing. He knew that if he didn't say anything, he would never have the chance to see her again. He could only say, "I'm not here to see the prince, I'm here to see Miss Qin."
!!!
Upon hearing this, the father and son both protected Qin Wan behind them. A grown man climbing over the wall in the middle of the night to look for his granddaughter?
This is what happened today. What if he wasn't caught before? How many times did he come here?
No wonder Qin Wan suddenly asked them to strengthen the guard of the Marquis' Mansion!
The two of them immediately became alert.
Qin Zhan glared angrily, "Your Highness, it's a little inappropriate for you to come look for my granddaughter in the middle of the night, isn't it?"
Seeing this, Xie Qing knew that if he didn't say it, he would definitely not be able to keep Qin Wan to talk.
Moreover, what he wanted to say was not shameful, so he simply said straight to the point: "I came here this time because of the drought in Shenyang. I remember that one of Miss Qin's dowry farms is in Shenyang, and I wanted to ask her if she knew anything about the situation in Shenyang."
Qin Wan looked at Xie Qing with a puzzled expression. In her previous life, at this time, Xie Qing and Lu Yan went to the south to fight the disaster, and naturally Bai Wanyi went with them.
No one knows what happened in the middle, but Xie Qing returned to Beijing early, and Lu Yan made great contributions in the fight against the drought.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan looked at him sympathetically.
Xie Qing was puzzled by her gaze: "Miss Qin, the look in your eyes seems to indicate that my journey is dangerous?"
Qin Wan shook her head and asked, "Who are the accompanying officials this time?"
Xie Qing looked at her deeply and said in a deep voice, "Marquis Pingyang."
I don’t know if it was because my heart finally died or if some string broke, but a feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged into my heart.
After making so many efforts, even though Lu Yan was only a judge, he was still sent to Shenyang to help with disaster relief.
It seems that there is an invisible hand pushing the course of history forward, so are their efforts still useful?
The two looked at each other and then looked away.
Qin Zhan noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he stepped forward and stood between the two of them, saying, "No matter who the accompanying official is, Wan'er has nothing to do with this matter. What's the point of asking her?"
Qin Wan came back to her senses, gently tugged at Qin Zhan's sleeve, and said, "Grandfather, my Zhuangzi just replied to my letter recently. I know a little about the situation over there."
They both had heard a little about Qin Wan's work on grafting and hybridizing crops on the farm, and she had also recently found many drought-resistant crops. Perhaps she really had some ideas.
Qin Zhan said, "In that case, let's chat."
Having said that, Qin Zhan and Qin Sheng did not leave. They sat aside and watched the two of them talk.
Qin Wan pondered over it, and remembered that Bai Wanyi was still detained in the palace, which seemed a little different from the previous life. She regained her confidence.
Qin Wan took a deep breath and told him about the situation Shen Yang had brought to her. She then added, "Now the village head wants to find a new water source. Although Shen Yang appears to be dry on the surface, the groundwater resources in the Shen Yang area are abundant. If we conduct a thorough investigation, we can find a water source to deal with the problem."
These are all information from the previous life. Shen Yang submitted a petition for help because he couldn't find a good well digger to explore the water source.
As for why there are no good well diggers, it’s because Shenyang has never lacked water for nearly a hundred years. The groundwater resources are abundant, and water can be found by digging any well.
Therefore, the well digger can only dig wells but not explore water sources.
After the court sent an experienced well digger, he found the water source. It can be said that this was a job that earned him credit.
but……
Qin Wan looked at Xie Qing with immense sympathy. "The rumors that the Crown Prince is bringing disaster to the country seem to have started with the drought in Shenyang. If you go to Shenyang to provide disaster relief, will you be scolded and have to return to the capital in disgrace? After all, when has our Crown Prince ever been scolded?"
There were no such rumors in the previous life, but Xie Qing later returned to Beijing. Perhaps the rumors did not reach the capital at that time, but were widely circulated locally?
So the prince who was providing disaster relief became sensitive after hearing the rumors?
Xie Qing looked at Qin Wan in surprise, then glared at her angrily: "In your heart, am I so vulnerable?"
Qin Wan pursed her lips and smiled, then turned to the main topic: "In addition to investigating the water source, I think the most important thing is to send people upstream to build dams to prevent floods and droughts."
Qin Wan looked at her grandfather and father again and explained in detail, "During droughts, dams can release water to combat drought. During heavy rainfall, they can store water to combat floods. However, when and how to build dams is a matter of study. We can't block the water source and leave it unavailable downstream, nor can we prevent fish upstream from migrating downstream because of dam construction. We must allow them to migrate upstream and reproduce."
Xie Qing listened to Qin Wan's well-organized speech. He looked at Qin Zhan and the others and said, "I have a favor to ask of you."
Qin Zhan had a bad feeling in his heart and refused instinctively: "No!"
"I haven't told you what it is yet." Xie Qing looked at Qin Zhan and Qin Sheng seriously.
Qin Sheng was also curious about Xie Qing and asked, "Your Highness hasn't said anything yet, why did father refuse?"
Qin Zhan glared at him. His own daughter was about to be kidnapped, and he was still asking what was going on! How stupid!
Xie Qing seemed not to notice Qin Zhan's expression. He stood up and bowed, saying, "I would like to take Miss Qin with me to the south."
Qin Wan looked at Xie Qing in surprise: "You want me to go with you?"
Xie Qing nodded and said confidently, "Those brochures you have on hand have been printed for a long time, right? Don't you want to see the results?"
Qin Wan opened her mouth. The drought only left ordinary people without water to drink and food to eat. However, no matter whether the fields were barren or not, the lives of ordinary people were most profoundly affected.
Those gentry and wealthy families will never have any influence.
Qin Wan brought those things to them when she went south.
What's more, Qin Wan had to go to the two farms in person to check out the spring plowing situation this year and the harvest of last year's new varieties.
Seeing is believing.
Moreover, last year, Shenyang and Guangling only planted new varieties and did not continue hybridization.
This year she will bring people there to hybridize several types of rice again to see what will happen to the hybrid rice after hybridization.
As for the hybrid rice that has been planted for one season, she calls it the second generation of hybrid rice. The second generation will also be planted to see whether the third and fourth generations can continue to maintain such a yield and whether it is suitable for growth in other places.
Qin Wan agreed after only a brief consideration. After all, she did need to go south. "Grandfather, Father, I'll just go with the Crown Prince."
Qin Zhan knew from his precious granddaughter's expression that she wanted to go, so he nodded and agreed. He then said, "It's not appropriate for a woman like you to go south with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, with the Marquis of Pingyang accompanying you, it will cause rumors, so we need to keep it a secret."
