Chapter 194 No wonder she always felt like she had forgotten something!
"Really? Father is the best!"

Yun Shu's eyes lit up.

She originally thought that according to her cheap father's temperament, he would probably say something like "Letting you hold a poetry meeting is a reward for you."

I didn't expect that this casual question would actually earn me a reward!

Yun Shu asked excitedly:

"What reward?"

"Aren't you very interested in the Ministry of Industry?"

Emperor Xuanwu said casually:
"I noticed that you always went to the Ministry of Industry when you had nothing to do. It just so happens that there is a vacant position in the Water Affairs Department of the Ministry of Industry, so I will give it to you."

"Water Affairs Department of the Ministry of Industry?"

It’s true that she likes to go to the Ministry of Industry, but she also does that to make some new things that are not available in Tiansheng Dynasty!
What is the purpose of this idle function of the Water Affairs Bureau?

Yun Shu curled her lips and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, the moment the words came to her lips, a flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she suddenly remembered a major event that she had almost forgotten -

In the original plot, the reason why Tiansheng's later battle with Beixiang was so difficult was because
In addition to the crown prince being deposed due to his lameness, and General Weiyuan who went crazy and killed the eldest prince's faction,
The flood in Beijing that year was also one of the most important reasons!

Although the book is about events ninety or ten years later, this period of history is only briefly mentioned.
But that one stroke was shocking enough!

The dam collapsed and the capital was flooded. Even in the imperial palace, located at the highest point in the entire capital, the water was knee-deep!

Because of this flood, more than 10,000 people in the capital were killed or injured, and the financial losses were incalculable.

The already empty treasury became even emptier after this incident, so empty that even mice wouldn't want to wander in...

If she remembered correctly, the flood seemed to be happening next month!
No wonder she always felt like she had forgotten something after the Spring Examination.
fortunately……

Yun Shu felt a little scared and nodded in agreement:

"Then I will go to the Water Affairs Bureau to take a look tomorrow!"

"Isn't Fifth Sister the president of the Chamber of Commerce? Why is she going to the Ministry of Industry again?"

Yun Chuhuan, who had recently been thinking about going to the Ministry of Works to find Xiao Yuanzi to tinker with "mud that could trip up his father after it's done", could no longer sit still when he heard this:
"Since it's a sinecure, I want it too!"

"Then just think about it."

Emperor Xuanwu curled his lips:

"Think about it for a few more years. Maybe there will be some hope when you grow up to be fifteen."

"But isn't Fifth Sister not even fifteen yet?"

Yun Chuhuan's tone suddenly weakened.

Obviously, he also knew that he was too young.

Sitting in a small corner with a pouty face, Yun Chuhuan settled for the next best thing:

"Then in the future, when Fifth Sister doesn't have classes and goes to the Ministry of Industry, can I follow her?"

"No."

Emperor Xuanwu ruthlessly rejected him again:

"You have never graduated from the study room."

"But……"

"No buts. If you say anything more, I will even cancel your ten-day leave!"

"..." Father is really too much!!

Yun Chuhuan made his accusation with grief and anger in his eyes.

However, Emperor Xuanwu did not pay any attention to it. He very skillfully ignored Yun Chuhuan's facial expressions.
After talking about the Water Affairs Bureau, he remembered another thing he wanted to ask when he was in the garden:

"Just now at the poetry meeting, you said that the person who wrote that poem was a hermit named Xin Qiji.

Among those who have gone into seclusion with him, are there any others whose talents are as great as his?

Why have I never heard you mention it before?"

"Because my chance encounter with them was actually a coincidence."

Although the masterpieces could easily help Xianting become famous, these poems did attract the attention of Emperor Xuanwu.

Yun Shu touched his nose and started talking nonsense again:

"Didn't the Tianwaitian Restaurant come up with a delicious sweet wine a few days ago?

I thought of bringing some back and trying to see if I could mix the wine with something else to make something more delicious.

When we got to the first floor, we ran into them having dinner. While eating, they said it was a pity that the drinks were a bit mediocre.

I didn't know why at the time, but I felt that those people were not ordinary people, and I wanted to give them a jar of wine.

So he put the small jar of wine on hand directly on their table and left.

I don't know what happened later.
Until one day, my cousin sent a letter to me, which contained many poems.
I then learned that after I left that day, those people tasted the wine and thought it was very good, so they gave those poems to me as a thank you gift.

But because they also knew the identity of the son, they left a message, saying that they only wanted to indulge in the mountains and rivers and had no interest in entering the government.

My lifelong wish is to travel to every corner of the world.
Don't bother me to look for them."

"Thank you?"

Emperor Xuanwu frowned, feeling that something was not right.

Even if those people were really grateful for the jar of wine Xiaowu sent, and wanted to give some thank you gifts, but they didn't know what to give, so they just gave poems directly.

But shouldn't we send some poems to express gratitude?

What's the point of sending me a bunch of masterpieces whose artistic conception, content and emotions are completely unrelated to the original?
Xiaowu doesn’t have a reputation for loving poetry!
"Father, you are not still thinking of finding those talented people and giving them official positions, are you?"

She noticed that Emperor Xuanwu looked a little strange, as if he was doubting the truthfulness of her words.
Yun Shu quickly spoke again and carefully tried to divert Emperor Xuanwu's attention:
"I think this forced melon is not sweet.

Whether or not we can find the person is not the question. Even if we find him, we can't force him to become an official, right?"

"Being able to write poetry doesn't mean he can be a good official!"

The first question was something I couldn't figure out no matter how hard I tried. It wasn't a big deal after all.
Emperor Xuanwu followed Yunshu's words and put it behind his mind:
"Besides, there are so many people in this world who want to serve as officials in the court. I don't need a few of them!"

"Father said so!"

Yun Shu nodded repeatedly and patted the dragon's butt wildly:
"Father is wise and powerful, and our Tiansheng Dynasty is full of talented people. There are so many people who want to serve you, so how can we be short of those who are not interested in joining the government?

In my opinion, those people are just being sentimental.
They are actually worried that we will force them to stay.

If there is a chance, I should let them know how broad-minded you, Father, are!
I have never seen you force or embarrass any innocent person!"

Emperor Xuanwu: “…”

Don't think that he couldn't hear that she was talking a lot just to prevent him from going to find those people!

This little bastard has his elbows bent!
