Qin Wan closed the door after she finished speaking. Lu Yan held the door against her, looking at her with pained eyes: "I just want to talk to you, please don't be so heartless, okay?"
"I'm already heartless, how can I be so heartless?" Qin Wan turned her eyes to the two people in the room: "Why don't you come and help!"
Only then did Lu Yan realize there were other people in the room. He pushed the door open and looked over. Seeing the two people sitting at the table, he was shocked and angry, but he could only greet them respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Crown Prince."
Xie Qing pinched the teacup and sneered, "Lord Lu is in a good mood. He's going to leave tomorrow, and he still has time to come and chat with Miss Qin."
Lu Yan felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to do anything to Xie Qing. He had repeatedly confronted Xie Qing, but to no avail. He held the letter in his hand and looked at Qin Wan with a hint of grievance: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and you have official business to discuss, I will take my leave first."
After saying this, he bowed to Xie Qing and said goodbye: "I'm leaving."
The door closed behind Lu Yan. His steps were heavy and he couldn't move forward. After a long time, he took a deep breath and strode back to the room.
Xie Qing's eyes inadvertently swept across Qin Wan's face, taking in every subtle expression on her face: "Aren't you curious about what Marquis Lu wants to talk to you about?"
Qin Wan sat down at the table and asked Yi Jia to go out and keep an eye on things. She said, "It has nothing to do with me. I feel like the air is polluted just by meeting him."
"How exaggerated!" Prince Du glanced at Xie Qing and laughed.
Xie Qing had a smile in his eyes and brought the subject back to the topic: "Are you sure you don't want to go back with us?"
They have been in Shenyang for more than two months. Now the canal has been dug and the dam has been built with the joint efforts of the three countries. In addition to building the dam, the three countries have worked together to dig a new canal in the Shiwandashan Mountains. When there is abundant rain, the canal will lead water into the basin deep in the Shiwandashan Mountains. When there is little rain, the canal will be blocked to store water for the Three Kingdoms Dam.
Initially, the people in southern Xinjiang had the most objections. However, since two countries more powerful than themselves wanted to build the dam, they had no choice but to contribute money and manpower. But as soon as April began, it began to rain in southern Xinjiang. The continuous rain made some elderly people think that a flash flood was about to break out, and they busied themselves preparing for flood control and disaster relief. However, when they saw that no matter how heavy the rain was, the flash flood did not come, the people in southern Xinjiang realized the benefits of this dam.
Of course, this is a later story.
Qin Wan was also in charge of building the dam on Xie Qing's side, while he himself was busy punishing corrupt officials and sorting out the political affairs of various counties and prefectures.
Up to now, except for the prefect and the governor of Shenyang, who needed the emperor's order to be convicted, the county magistrates of each county were executed if they should be executed, and exiled if they should be exiled. Now, none of the newly appointed officials dared to be dishonest.
After being out for so long, it’s time to return to Beijing.
Qin Wan didn't want to go with them: "Even the most corrupt officials haven't been punished. I'm afraid if I go with you, I'll be hunted down. I value my life."
Isn't it life-saving? Knowing that in May, the drought in Shenyang will end and the peak rainfall season will arrive, although there is a dam to intercept it in this life, but what if?
She has a lot of things to do in this life again. She is not here to die. She has done everything she can. The rest is to do her best and leave the rest to fate.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xie Qing's eyes: "You're here just in time. I'll capture a few more assassin leaders and prove their guilt! Let's see if my father will still forgive them!"
Prince Du said, "We can kill first and report later. We can just send assassins."
Qin Wan glanced at Xie Qing. If sending someone to kill these two people could really solve the problem, Xie Qing would have done it long ago. She pondered and said, "We don't know who is colluding with the Shenyang prefect and the governor. If they are assassinated, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble later."
Qin Wan's words naturally implied that Prefect Song and the Governor had colluded with Concubine Ru and the Fifth Prince. "Furthermore, if they died in such an unclear manner, what would Concubine Ru and the Fifth Prince do?"
Although Prince Du acted rashly, he was no fool. He immediately realized, "If I do this, His Majesty will only feel more distressed about Rupin. To appease her, should I first promote her to a higher rank?"
Qin Wan nodded: "First, promote her position, and then entrust the Fifth Prince with important tasks. She can rise to the top by stepping on the corpses of her family members."
Xie Qing sneered, "Of course I won't give her this chance. I'm going to crush them to death!"
"So, they are going to trample you to death too. The situation now is, either you die or she dies. How can she go with you?" Qin Wan looked at Xie Qing sincerely, very sure that she didn't want to live and die with him.
Prince Du looked at Xie Qing and then at Qin Wan: "Shouldn't it be you and I pretending to be the crown princes, splitting up into several groups and leaving together to conceal our whereabouts?"
Qin Wan looked at him like a fool and said, "How many troops do we have? The personal soldiers that the prince gave us have long since returned. If we split up the people we brought with us, we will only weaken our strength. It would be better for us all to follow the main force."
"When the time comes, prepare several identical carriages. Your Highness, please disguise yourself and ride on horseback. If we encounter an ambush, the carriages are the most dangerous."
Isn’t it?
Whenever an assassination attempt is made, a hail of arrows will follow first, and the carriage will always be the first to be hit and turned into a hedgehog.
Xie Qing agreed, and the three of them separated to prepare for their journey back to Beijing tomorrow.
Qin Wan was not in a hurry to go back, as she still had things to do at the farm.
After arriving in Shenyang, she didn't have time to visit the farm, so the next day without waiting for Xie Qing to leave, she left the post station first and went to the farm to check the harvest.
Because we need to experiment with grain varieties and cultivate new products, the grain planting seasons on the farm are different.
Fortunately, in places like Shenyang, crops can be grown all year round.
More than half a month ago, the farm harvested a batch of grain. Now that it has been dried and weighed, the yield of this second batch of hybrid grain is actually higher than the first batch.
Qin Wan was very satisfied: "This batch of drought-resistant plants can be sent to the farm in the north for further experiments."
The steward agreed and said, "Now the new rice seedlings have been cultivated. The hybridization will take another month or two. Will the young lady come by then?"
Qin Wan naturally decided not to come: "It's too far, so I won't come again. I'll leave my people with you, but I've noticed that the weather is unusual this year. I heard that it's been raining in southern Xinjiang for more than half a month. If it starts raining in Shenyang as well, you'd better evacuate early to prevent flash floods."
The manager was somewhat reluctant: "There have been heavy rains in previous years, and nothing happened. Besides, there's a dam built on the mountain now, so nothing will happen."
Qin Wan was worried: "If something unexpected happens, food is a small matter, but human life is more important. It's better to be cautious."
The steward, also from a farming family, valued grain the most. He said, "Shenyang has been dry for a year. How much heavier can the rain be? If you're really worried, Miss, we can move all the grain away first. If the rain gets too heavy, we can go to Shenyang City first. If we need to evacuate, we can evacuate with the people of Shenyang. How do you think?"
