So he called Lin Yuxin here today to test whether she really has this ability.
However, she had to be wary of what she had just thought about. If it really didn't rain for six months, how would the people survive? It might even damage the very foundation of the nation.
The Emperor glanced anxiously at Lin Yuxin, who was hiding behind, wondering how to make it seem like she could openly carry out the task.
Yes, he thought that this girl might have a solution.
Just as Lin Yuxin was hesitating whether to speak up and remind the Emperor, she felt a chill down her back. Was she about to catch a cold?
Lin Yuxin trembled slightly, and Li Xiaochen, who had been standing silently to the side, finally spoke:
"Your Majesty, I think it's best to make plans sooner rather than later. After all, it hasn't rained for a month, and some poor families are probably already out of food. If we wait another two months, there might be a flood of disaster victims."
"Yes, I also think this matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. Do you have any good ideas?"
When the emperor saw that someone had spoken, he followed up and asked.
"I have no other choice at the moment!"
Li Xiaochen glanced at Lin Yuxin, then lowered his head and said.
"No way? What's the point of saying all this? What about you? Do you have any ideas?"
The emperor, having no other choice, glared at the others and roared, then turned to the other ministers and asked.
As a result, all the ministers lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.
The emperor was even angrier when he saw this. He hadn't expected anything from these cowards in the first place, but these people really had no ideas at all? How was he, as emperor, supposed to be like this?
"A bunch of useless trash!"
"Smack!"
The emperor was furious and picked up the memorials on the table, throwing them at them.
The sound of the memorial falling to the ground made the ministers lower their heads even further.
The emperor is angry. At this time, it's best not to be afraid of the emperor's bad luck, lest you get burned. They still have this tacit understanding.
[Uh! As expected, His Majesty's uncle has arrived, and he's in such a bad mood. This drought isn't entirely unpreventable; we just need to implement preventative measures at its source: improve the soil and water environment, carry out soil and water conservation projects, control and prevent soil erosion, and reduce the occurrence of drought.]
At this moment, the angry emperor heard Lin Yuxin's thoughts and his anger subsided. He became more and more nervous and excited as he listened. His breathing became lighter and he clenched his fists. This is a good idea!
Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin, who had her head down, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter. He felt that Lin Yuxin was shining. This was the woman he had set his sights on, and he liked her more and more.
Lin Chenglie, however, was very proud. This was his sister, and she was incredibly talented. She even had the ability to alleviate drought.
[Then improve the efficiency of agricultural water conservancy facilities: strengthen the construction and management of farmland irrigation facilities, improve their utilization efficiency, increase irrigated area, and improve the agricultural production environment.]
Expanding water source development and utilization: Enhancing the development and utilization of water resources, leveraging the role of reservoirs, canals, rivers, lakes, and other water storage projects to effectively address drought.
Strengthening the prevention and control of flash floods: Enhancing the protection of forest and grassland vegetation, improving the vegetation environment, conducting disaster forecasting and early warning, and strengthening emergency rescue and relief efforts.
Strengthen meteorological observation, forecasting, and disaster early warning: Enhance meteorological observation and forecasting, promptly issue drought warnings, and take timely and effective measures to prevent and reduce the occurrence of drought.
[If we do these things well, we can at least reduce the worst-case scenario, but how do we tell the Emperor about it?]
Lin Yuxin lowered her head, thinking of solutions. She had considered all the drought prevention measures she had seen in her previous life, and these should be all she needed.
The Emperor's eyes shone as he looked at Lin Yuxin. This woman was truly exceptional; she might just be a blessing from heaven for their Xia Kingdom!
She can not only make prophecies, but also cure droughts. It seems that she herself is quite capable. Such a woman is a blessing to our Great Xia.
The emperor thought to himself, "It seems I have to let her handle this matter; otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
The Emperor then glanced at Li Xiaochen, who was standing to the side like a stick, and became angry. Was this child so useless? He couldn't even handle a woman?
He heard that the two of them hadn't seen each other for several days! Just now, the girl didn't even glance at him outside! How useless! Let me help you!
Ignoring the Emperor's disdain, Li Xiaochen kept his gaze on Lin Yuxin. Since the girl hadn't raised her head yet, he could look at her more. But if she did raise her head later, he wouldn't be able to see her anymore.
Lin Yuxin hesitated for a long time, deciding to just tell the Emperor about these preventative measures directly. Just as she was about to raise her head and speak, she heard the Emperor's voice:
"Lin Yuxin? Tell me, what's your solution?"
"Well?"
Lin Yuxin was stunned! Was she on the same wavelength as the Emperor? How did he know she had a solution? Perhaps the Emperor couldn't think of anyone else to ask, so he sent a woman like her to give it a try? Hmm, that's possible!
However, since the emperor had already asked her, she decided to take advantage of the situation and offer her own advice.
"Your Majesty, I do indeed have some ideas!"
Lin Yuxin bowed respectfully and replied.
"You have a solution? What solution could a mere woman possibly have?"
Hou Mingyuan scoffed.
"That's right. How could a young lady like you possibly have any ideas? I heard that you were switched at birth in the Lin family and were only brought back half a year ago? You were living in the countryside before that? How could a country girl possibly have any ideas?"
Shi Peng also spoke up.
It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but this was not something an ordinary person could solve. She was a country girl who never left her home. Even though she had been brought back to the Lin family half a year ago and Madam Lin had taught her, even a genius couldn't know about such a big matter and have a solution in half a year.
While the other ministers did not voice their doubts, their meaning was clear: they did not believe it.
The Emperor listened to their doubts and sneered inwardly! These frogs in a well, if I couldn't hear this girl's thoughts, I probably wouldn't believe them either. But now, I can only rely on this girl.
"Alright! Regardless of whether there's a solution or not, let's hear what this girl has to say first."
The Emperor interrupted their questions.
Seeing that the Emperor had spoken, the ministers all shut their mouths and didn't say anything more. They wanted to see what Lin Yuxin had to do.
"Lin Yuxin, tell me. If you really have a solution, I will reward you. If you don't, I will punish you."
The Emperor, having confirmed that everyone had no objections, turned to the obedient Lin Yuxin standing to the side and spoke.
Lin Yuxin: ? ?
[What the heck! She had no choice but to be punished too! This emperor is such a scoundrel! She came to the palace to receive an award, and now she might not even get it and is being punished? She should have known better than to ask! This is just asking for trouble!]
Lin Yuxin regretted it. She should have stayed quietly to the side like a quail. Why did she have to wade into the muddy waters?
When the Emperor heard that this girl was actually backing out and wouldn't discuss the plan, he suddenly regretted it. Why did he have to bring up punishment? This brat is so petty; she'll curse someone in her heart for ages over the slightest thing!
If she really doesn't say anything, he'll have to find another way to get her to handle the matter.
