But when he heard someone in the court maliciously slandering a girl named Li Mengyue, he felt a nameless anger in his heart, wanting to burst out and burn those ugly faces to ashes.
Later he understood why he had such a reaction. Li Mengyue, who came to kill the locusts, was his niece.
When he learned this fact, he was so proud that he wanted to kill the ministers who slandered his niece.
He thought of going in front of those people and telling them that Li Mengyue was his niece. Not only did she have the ability to kill the locusts, she also had a heart full of love, which was incomparable to people with dirty minds like them.
You should know that in order to help the Third Prince relieve hundreds of thousands of refugees in Guangfu and Yongkang Prefectures, my niece proposed the construction of a large-scale water conservancy project.
But he couldn't say it, because the matter was confidential and he didn't know much.
The only thing I know is what I heard from my son. Otherwise, such absolute news would be unbelievable.
Even if Prince An's Mansion has some power, it would be impossible to investigate thoroughly.
Fortunately, my son has opened branches in many cities, otherwise he might not know so much.
Because he was very confident in the third prince, even if he sent out all the forces of Prince An's Mansion, they would not be able to find out the truth.
He didn't expect that the emperor's decree, which seemed to be a joke, was actually carried out by the third prince.
To be honest, although he believed in the Third Prince's ability, it was really hard to believe that in such a situation, the Third Prince could properly resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees.
But the fact is that the third prince really did it. Not only did he make hundreds of thousands of refugees stay in Qingshan Prefecture willingly, he also helped them build homes and gave them the opportunity to make a living with their own hands. At the same time, he solved the major problem that had troubled people for thousands of years but could not be completely eliminated - drought and flood disasters.
Because the people rely on farming for their livelihood, whether the crops in the fields can have a good harvest depends on the weather.
If the weather is good and the crops are harvested well, the granaries will be full of grain by autumn. However, God is unhappy and droughts may occur from time to time. There may be no rain for several months or too much rain, which may result in a reduced yield at best and a total loss of grain at worst.
But the people depend on the grain in the fields to survive all year round. If the crops really fail, it will be equivalent to cutting off the people's livelihood.
The situation is different after the water conservancy project was built. Reservoirs can store water during the day and use it to irrigate fields during droughts. When it rains heavily, it can prevent floods.
And under the supervision of the Third Prince, the water conservancy project built in Qingshan Prefecture was enormous, running through the entire prefecture, and its tributaries also covered every village and town in the county, truly ensuring that every village had a reservoir.
Every village has water available during droughts, and there is no need to worry about not being able to irrigate the fields when they are dry.
Besides this feat, he was also interested in the man who designed the waterwheel.
You know, when he first heard about the waterwheel, he thought it was a small car that children played with on the water. It was not until his son explained it to him that he realized how shallow his knowledge was and how narrow his thinking was. How could he regard such a great invention as a child's toy?
After all, with a waterwheel, people's hands can be liberated to a great extent. They no longer have to carry water bucket by bucket. As long as the direction of the waterwheel is adjusted and the pipes are set up, the water can be directly brought to the fields. Not only does it save time and effort, but it can also save water resources invisibly.
