Chapter 677 What about you two talking about cross talk?
The people were so enthusiastic that Wei Datong went to greet him, but in the end he couldn't even get close to Jin Feng.
Under the protection of the escort, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess passed through the crowds of people and arrived at the headquarters.
Wei Datong followed behind, and one of his shoes was squeezed out.
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become more magnanimous. It was so chaotic just now that I was scared to drop my shoes, but your Highness has an unchanging expression. You are worthy of being the son of a dragon and a phoenix!"
After all, he was a veteran in officialdom. As soon as he entered the room, Wei Datong flattered him.
But Princess Ninth didn't take this at all and asked directly: "How is the construction situation?"
Wei Datong was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "As far as your Highness is concerned, the construction is going well. Tomorrow I will accompany Your Highness to Yulei Mountain. You can see very far with a telescope on the top of the mountain."
"It's still early. There's no need to wait for tomorrow morning. Let's go now." Ninth Princess said and stood up.
"Your Highness has come a long way, why not take a night's rest first?" Wei Datong advised.
But the Ninth Princess ignored him at all and led people out of the house.
"Master Wei, did the flattery hit the horse's hooves?"
Jin Feng smiled and patted Wei Datong on the shoulder: "The Ninth Princess is different from other dignitaries. She is a practical person. She can just talk about things in the future. There is no need to flatter you. If the work is done well, she will naturally promote you. If the work is
If you don’t do it well, it’s useless no matter how loudly you flatter me.”
Now the Zhongming Team is Jin Feng's eyes and ears. The person in charge of Xichuan City will put together the important information of the day and report to Jin Feng every day.
The Dujiangyan Irrigation Project is of great significance. Jin Feng has not had time to come over recently, so he specially reminded Zhong Ming's team to pay more attention to it.
Wei Datong, as the project leader, naturally often appears in the intelligence.
In fact, Jin Feng thought Wei Datong was a good person before, so he recommended him to the Ninth Princess.
The intelligence from Zhong Ming's team also proved Jin Feng's vision.
Since Wei Datong took over the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, he was often busy until midnight, studying maps.
Not only are they serious about their work, but they are also willing to endure hardships.
People from Zhong Ming's team often see him walking on the construction site covered in mud, conducting on-site inspections.
If I have to say a shortcoming, it is that he is too tactful and likes to flatter me too much.
Jin Feng knew that Dakang's officialdom was like this. Wei Datong had been a transfer envoy for half his life, and flattering him had almost become his instinct.
After Wei Datong heard Jin Feng's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then he bowed to Jin Feng solemnly and said, "Thank you sir for your advice!"
He has become accustomed to the hypocritical behavior in the officialdom. It is very rare for someone like Jin Feng to speak directly in the vernacular.
Jin Feng's straightforward advice is rare in official circles.
It would be impossible to do this unless we have a very deep friendship with one of our own.
Wei Datong actually didn't have much contact with Jin Feng. He didn't know that he usually talked like this, so he was deeply moved by Jin Feng's "sincerity".
In fact, Wei Datong is also a man of action. He often runs around with the fleet, so he is so familiar with the surrounding waters.
What Jin Feng said just now reminded him of when he first became an official.
At that time, he was not yet twenty years old and was working as a dispatcher in the Transportation Department, but he was in high spirits every day and often thought about how he would benefit the people of the world after he was promoted.
But as he served as an official longer and longer, Wei Datong realized how ridiculous his idea was.
All the officials he came into contact with either didn't think about how to make money, or they just muddle along and do things perfunctorily.
He wants to do things seriously, but becomes an outlier and is ostracized.
He had no choice but to learn to flatter and please his boss.
After learning to go along with others, he finally integrated into the officialdom.
Coupled with some connections in my family, I managed to survive a few years ago and finally became the transfer envoy and became the top leader of the Jinma River Transfer Department station.
Normally, as long as there are no people in Xichuan City, he is the biggest, and finally he no longer has to fawn over.
But this habit has been formed. As soon as I see the Ninth Princess, I can't help but say a few nice words to please the Ninth Princess.
The result was just as Jin Feng said, the flattery was slapped on the horse's hooves.
The Ninth Princess was not happy, she seemed a little angry...
Jin Feng's suggestions gave Wei Datong a feeling of enlightenment.
He finally realized where his problem lay, and also knew what attitude he should adopt when facing the Ninth Princess in the future.
"Sir please!"
Wei Datong stepped aside and let Jin Feng go first.
Jin Feng smiled and walked out of the room without being polite.
Because he often observed the surroundings on Yulei Mountain recently, Wei Datong had someone build a thatched house on the top of the mountain. Sometimes he was too lazy to go down the mountain, so he spent the night on the mountain.
At this time, the ninth princess was standing in front of the thatched house, looking down.
"Your Highness, telescope!"
Wei Datong took out the telescope from his arms and carefully handed it to the Ninth Princess.
Princess Ninth took the telescope, adjusted it skillfully, and looked everywhere.
Jin Feng also built an awning with his hands and squinted his eyes to look down.
At this time, under Yulei Mountain, there were dense figures everywhere, like ants, digging and carrying rocks and soil.
Under their feet, the water channel has already taken shape.
"Your Highness, Yulei Mountain is a barrier. Floods occur all year round on the west side, and droughts occur on the east side all year round. Your plan is to dig a big hole in the thinner part of Yulei Mountain to divert the river water to the east.
This not only solves the floods in the west, but also solves the drought in the east, getting the best of both worlds!"
When Wei Datong saw that the Ninth Princess had finished reading, he explained next to him.
As he talked, he couldn't help but fall into his old habit again, and flattered Jin Feng: "Mr. Jin is really smart..."
"Master Wei, if you continue to praise me, I will float!"
Jin Feng interrupted Wei Datong with a wry smile.
It seems that this problem may not be corrected for a while.
"Sir, I'm not complimenting you, I'm really admiring you. I've been working in the Transportation Department for so many years, and I have to run on the Jinma River countless times every year. There is nothing I can do about the floods. Sir, I only came here once and it was solved. No.
What is extreme intelligence?"
Wei Datong said with a serious face.
"Sir, you are indeed smart, and I admire you very much!"
The Ninth Princess followed and said.
Wei Datong secretly glanced at the Ninth Princess, then glanced at Jin Feng, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Actually, what I admire is not only Mr.'s intelligence, but also his courage and courage. Back then, it was so dangerous on Damanang Slope.
Neither Sir nor Your Highness took a step back, which is indeed an example of our Dakang soldiers!"
"Yes, sir, not only is he smart, courageous and courageous, but he is also very humble." The Ninth Princess unexpectedly added another sentence.
"Your Highness is so right!"
Wei Datong seemed to have discovered a new world, clapped his hands and said: "Besides, sir, you have far-sighted vision and talent for governing the country. It would be a pity not to go to court!"
"Who says otherwise? I asked him to be a national advisor, but he was unwilling!"
The Ninth Princess shook her head with regret.
"So you are so good..."
Wei Datong felt that he finally found the trick to please the Ninth Princess, and echoed in an exaggerated tone: "What does it mean to be indifferent to fame and fortune? Sir, this is called indifference to fame and fortune!"
"Are you two talking about cross talk here?"
Jin Feng looked at the two people who were singing and singing, with dark lines on his face: "Let's get down to business now. It's so cold in the mountains. Is it okay to go down to a warmer place to talk about cross talk?"
