The ministers won’t be able to arrive in the conference room for a while.
Yu Jinshu took this opportunity to quietly grind some ink, spread out a large piece of white paper, picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, recalling the knowledge he had learned in modern times, and drew a sketch of the reservoir.
Pu Kun sat in the main seat, looking at her graceful back, and thought she was bored and in the mood to paint, so he didn't go over to see.
This reservoir is not easy to draw, especially since she studied medicine, not architecture.
She used to live near the reservoir and often played there.
In order to make her drawing more useful, she took advantage of Pu Kun not disturbing her and quickly logged into the system to search for drawings for reservoir construction.
When she found the blueprints of the reservoir, she was overjoyed.
She picked up a pen and drew every detail of the reservoir one stroke at a time according to the blueprint.
When the first minister arrived, Yu Jinshu had almost finished her drawing. She was looking at the drawings in the system and did not dare to interrupt her train of thought, so she did not go to pay her respects.
Mr. Zhang looked at Yu Jinshu with an unhappy expression.
Even though she was the Emperor's female attendant, she couldn't just draw on the desk like this.
I'm afraid he's gotten some good luck recently and has become arrogant and rude.
Several ministers came one after another, all of whom were dissatisfied with Yu Jinshu's behavior.
"Okay." Yu Jinshu closed the system mall in her mind. She put down the brush, blew the ink on the paper, and then carefully picked up the drawn reservoir blueprint.
Pu Kun frowned slightly, wondering what Yu Jinshu was doing?
Don’t you want to show off your paintings to the ministers?
If that was the case, then he should have lost interest in her.
She had to know that what attracted him to her was not her beauty, but her extraordinary wisdom.
Yu Jinshu held the blueprint and bowed slightly to the ministers before walking up to Pu Kun and saying, "Your Majesty, please take a look."
The ministers all looked disdainful.
This is the meeting room, a place for discussing state affairs. It is inappropriate for this female attendant to enter. She even drew a picture and showed it to the emperor.
If the emperor does not punish her, they will unite and ask him to kill her.
But when Pu Kun saw the painting drawn by Yu Jinshu, he was so surprised that his mouth was wide open.
He stood up excitedly and took the painting from Yu Jinshu's hand. He looked at Yu Jinshu again, then his eyes fell on the drawing paper, looking from top to bottom, from far to near, as if he didn't want to miss any details in the painting.
"Okay, great."
The ministers looked at each other, wondering if the emperor had been bewitched by this woman.
Even if the painting is good, what does it matter? They are here to discuss state affairs, not to discuss elegance.
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful." Pu Kun looked at Yu Jinshu, so excited that he wanted to hug her and kiss her. "Master Yu, how did you know about building a reservoir?"
Build a reservoir?
The ministers looked at each other in confusion again?
How is this painting related to the construction of the reservoir?
Yu Jinshu said, "Your Majesty, before I entered the palace, I liked to collect some strange books to read. After reading so much, I also had some ideas in my mind. I modified them here and they turned out like this."
Pu Kun stared at Yu Jinshu, his dark eyes filled with excitement. "Master Yu, although you are a woman, you are more talented than any man I have ever seen. You are a pillar of the country and should not be a slave."
Several ministers heard something and came to the emperor to see the painting drawn by Yu Jinshu.
"What Imperial Attendant Yu drew turned out to be a picture of a reservoir," a minister exclaimed.
"It's really wonderful, it's really wonderful! If this reservoir is built, we will no longer have to worry about drought." Another minister exclaimed.
Yu Jinshu said: "This reservoir can store rainwater and snow water to fight drought. Not only that, this reservoir can also fight floods."
Upon hearing this, several ministers took a few steps back and saluted Yu Jinshu together.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Master Yu is a pillar of the nation and should not be a slave."
Pu Kun looked at the ministers and said, "Master Yu previously suggested a way to temporarily alleviate the drought."
I think we can let some people take shelter here temporarily."
She pointed to the counties closest to the disaster area, where there were mountains and rivers and there would be no shortage of water.
Moreover, it only takes two or three days to get there by horse and carriage, and six or seven days on foot.
She pointed to the official road on the map and said: "Porridge stalls will be set up along the way to ensure that they can reach the place with water alive.
He took out a map and pointed to the affected counties. "Transfer the affected people here. There are mountains and water here, which can ensure their survival. Have counties along the way distribute porridge to ensure that the people can reach the disaster shelter alive."
A minister asked in surprise, "Did Master Yu come up with all of this?"
Pu Kun nodded: "That's right." He looked at Yu Jinshu, his eyes full of admiration.
One of the ministers saluted the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, Yu Yu Shi solved the locust plague and now has a solution to combat drought and floods. She is truly your think tank. It's time to make an exception and allow Yu Yu Shi Shi to enter the court as a court lady."
Pu Kun nodded and looked at Yu Jinshu, "Yu Yu Shi, please listen to my instructions."
Yu Jinshu quickly bowed and saluted.
Pu Kun said sternly, "Although Imperial Attendant Yu is a woman, she has the ambition and talent of a man. She first made great contributions in controlling the locust plague, and now she has drawn detailed reservoir maps to combat droughts and floods. I have made an exception and appointed her a third-rank female university scholar. She will serve in the cabinet to assist me in handling government affairs, offer advice, and participate in the government affairs of the imperial court."
Yu Jinshu: "Thank you for your grace!"
Several ministers bowed in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
The drawing of the reservoir is so detailed that there is no one in the whole country who can draw such a drawing.
There is also this method of avoiding disaster, which is so simple, but no one can think of it.
Several ministers were convinced by Yu Jinshu.
Pu Kun said, "Now that the solution to the disaster has been found, you can make the arrangements."
Several ministers took their leave.
Pu Kun then asked the eunuch to recruit the Minister of Works.
He also ordered the eunuchs to make a special robe, hat, and seal for Yu Jinshu, a female university scholar.
When the Minister of Works, Mr. Chen, arrived at the meeting hall of Zhenghe Hall, he praised the reservoir blueprint drawn by Yu Jinshu.
"magic!"
“It’s amazing!”
“It turns out that reservoirs can be built like this!”
Pu Kun said, "The location of the reservoir has been chosen, but I still need to go and see it myself to avoid any mistakes."
Lord Chen asked, "Your Majesty, when will we set off?"
Pu Kun: "Tomorrow."
After Lord Chen left, Pu Kun took Yu Jinshu and left the conference room.
"You don't need to prepare dinner. Your hands, which are used to drawing blueprints, shouldn't be cooking."
Yu Jinshu asked, "What about serving in the bathroom?"
Pu Kun's eyes darkened. "Outside, you are a female university scholar, inside, you are still my master. I will relieve you of the duties of making meals, but you can help me bathe and sleep, these two things are indispensable."
If there is less, life will be less interesting.
