Chapter 217: Amo Gong
"You also want to see the emperor?"
"The Emperor is stubborn and self-righteous. How could he possibly employ us? He prefers those who boast. Don't tell me, those guys are good at dancing in the court, much better than those of us who actually get things done. We are certainly smart and have many tricks up our sleeves, but the Emperor thinks we are just frauds."
This is why the emperor is reluctant to grant high positions and generous salaries to people from the martial arts world.
"So you didn't get to see the emperor after all?"
"After just one encounter, the Emperor kicked me out."
After hearing this, Gu Feixue understood that the emperor was a cold person, so how could she go to meet him?
While she was still daydreaming, Gu Feixue had already entered a house with the old man. The house was clean and tidy. Gu Feixue found faucets and many modern things. Although they were different from modern supplies, their uses were similar.
Gu Feixue was immediately surprised.
"I'm asking you to do me a favor. Are you willing? I'm from Jiangzhou. There's a problem with the dam in Jiangzhou. It could collapse at any time. Can you help us repair it?"
"A dam?" the man sneered.
That smile was not a rejection, but contempt.
Gu Feixue didn't know why she was so convinced that this person could handle the flood. She half-knelt in front of him and asked, "Do you think this is going to be a piece of cake?"
"Hahaha, hahaha, what's so difficult about this? If you ask me, it's all because of those guys who took bribes and embezzled all the relief funds from the imperial court. Now the problem of the dam is serious. But I'm curious, why did a little girl like you come to me? Where are their superiors?"
"Come with me."
A Mogong took Gu Feixue into the backyard.
There is a trough in his backyard, which is used to irrigate the vegetable garden. Fresh water gushes out from the source, cool and clear.
Then, Amo Gong took out a wooden object with many holes in it and placed it on the water flow.
Gu Feixue was surprised. The water that was galloping just now had now slowed down a lot. Then he put down the second device, and the third device. When Gu Feixue looked again, the water had disappeared.
She was so surprised that she reached under the sink and felt around.
“You…you…”
Gu Feixue was dumbfounded.
She could hear her own frantic heartbeat, as if she was carrying a lively frog. "Will you help us?"
“Unwillingly!”
Amo Gong took everything.
Gu Feixue looked at the sky. There was a snow-white sun hanging in the sky. She felt strange. Dijing was really different. There was actually a white sun.
The temperature of this white sun was very high, and Gu Feixue felt dizzy. At this critical moment, A Mogong pressed a button.
Suddenly the creaking sound came out again.
When the rumbling sound ended, Gu Feixue was already in the waterfall.
It turns out that this is a Ziyu Pavilion.
This person built a device in the water. When he opened the hub, the water would flow up and then fall from the sky. It was clearly broad daylight, but it felt like the rainy season.
Amogong sighed, "I'm very capable, right? But the court broke my legs, and now you want me to serve the court, but I don't want to go. Do you think I'm already in my seventies or eighties? I'm only thirty-five this year. Thirty-five is a man in his prime, and yet I can only make a living by repairing some daily necessities."
"You want the emperor's approval?"
Gu Feixue quickly figured out what this person was thinking.
"yes!"
"Then let's go build the dam." Gu Feixue said firmly, "Don't pack anything, we'll leave now."
"Leaving alone now? Hahaha, little girl, I don't even know your name, why should I go with you? Besides, even if I go with you, what can I do? You'll be the one who becomes famous in the future."
"No, you deserve the title."
Gu Feixue looked at him.
Ah Mogong's eyes were gloomy. "I am a descendant of the Mo family. We have been elusive for thousands of years. Whenever we encounter danger, the Mo family will help everyone. But the emperor never recognizes us. He thinks we are just frauds in the martial arts world."
"Why do you have to get her approval?"
"Get out! Get out!"
A Mogong suddenly got angry and pushed Gu Feixue hard.
Gu Feixue didn't expect that Amo would be like this, and she fell down immediately.
"I designed this device for our Kyoto's moat, but the Emperor didn't adopt it. He didn't even look at my proposal. It's really useless to wait for it. I won't get approval. How can you understand this feeling? You can't relate to it. You can't comprehend it."
Looking at Gu Feixue's young face, A Mogong knew that Gu Feixue was a naive girl.
How could such a young girl understand these profound things?
"My name is Gu Feixue, I will come again."
Gu Feixue left sadly.
Now she was homeless and had to find an inn.
At this moment, the royal family had begun discussing the matter. Some still suggested that the people relocate, but the emperor disagreed. "Relocate? According to the Crown Prince, the current flood is very serious. Not only will it turn Jiangzhou into a vast ocean, but it will also mess up everything around it. Therefore, handling the matter will be even more difficult."
"Is it possible that our Ministry of Works is out of talented people? I see you have built the moat of the Imperial Capital very well. Why can't you also build the dam in Jiangzhou?"
At this moment, someone has already recommended himself.
"I am willing to offer my services."
The emperor glanced at the man and said, "It's not bad for Lord Jiang to go to Jiangzhou. Let's set off now."
Following closely, a group of 200 people headed towards Jiangzhou.
After arriving in the capital, Gu Feixue hurriedly wrote a letter to Yuchi Shuo.
These letters, like the previous ones, were written under various circumstances, some neatly and some sloppily.
Gu Feixue heard that Lord Jiang was preparing to go to Jiangzhou. His team was moving very slowly and had not left the capital for more than half a day.
Gu Feixue started drawing.
Lord Jiang was not going to control the flood. It would be more appropriate to say that he was going to enjoy the scenery. Many officials came to see him off.
Therefore, Gu Feixue wrote down all of Lord Jiang's actions on paper, and soon sent a letter to Jiangzhou by carrier pigeon.
As soon as he saw the countless stick figures and the word "Jiang" on each of them, he immediately wrote back to Gu Feixue. The content was concise and to the point. He first talked about the recent security situation in Jiangzhou, and then made Gu Feixue understand that Lord Jiang actually had no ability.
This person is a serious swindler.
In addition to Lord Jiang, the court also sent other people.
