King Yan was excited and immediately asked Zhao Qian for orders.
Zhao Jin, who was holding the tea cup and admiring the different expressions of the people, made a movement. Then, Zhao Jin put the tea cup on the table, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I saw this drawing in an ancient book."
"When I went to Hedong County to track down the disaster bank, I simply combined it with the Minjiang River. This is how you have the drawings in your hands. However, if it is to be built with real swords and guns, I have no experience at all and I don't understand."
Zhao Jin knew how much he weighed. If he was really put in charge of flood control, he might make a mess, or simply become a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Well, what Marquis Xuanping said makes sense."
Zhao Qian was not willing to let Zhao Jin go to Hedong County to govern the Minjiang River. Zhao Jin's words were exactly what he wanted, so he directly rejected King Yan.
Unable to get what he wanted, King Yan was inevitably a little depressed, but when his eyes fell on the drawing, his whole person became excited.
With this blueprint, there is a solution to the flooding problem in the Minjiang River.
Although judging from the drawings, this project takes a long time and has many difficulties, but once completed, its value is considerable.
"On behalf of the people, I would like to thank Marquis Xuanping for his righteousness." After saying this, King Yan bent down directly towards Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin was slightly surprised and raised his hand to help King Yan up. At the same time, he felt a little more favorable towards King Yan.
"The King of Yan is serious."
Zhao Gan smiled brightly and said with a smile: "Marquis Xuanping has made such great contributions, how can he not be rewarded?"
"Come here! Make a decree!"
"The Marquis of Xuanping has a kind and kind temperament... He tracked down the disaster money and solved the floods in the Minjiang River. He worked hard and made great achievements. He specially promoted Zhao Jin to be the Duke of Xuanping!"
The hearts of everyone in the royal study room suddenly stirred up a storm.
Zhao Jin also did not expect that Zhao Gan would give him such a generous reward. He thought it would be the same as when he came back from Hedong County, just some gold, silver and jewels.
With a slight shift in his mind, Zhao Jin knelt down to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Although it was unexpected, being promoted to Duke was a good thing for him.
The courtiers in the imperial study looked at each other in confusion, but no one objected. Not even the few veterans who had initially crowded against Zhao Jin spoke out against it.
After Zhao Jin came to Bianzhou, his achievements were obvious to everyone.
In a short period of time, the disaster money was recovered, and the Minjiang River flood that worried everyone was solved. It was only a matter of time before he was promoted to Duke.
What surprised everyone the most was that Zhao Jin's title was still "Xuan Ping".
Zhao Qian walked down from the top, stood next to Zhao Jin, raised his hand and patted Zhao Jin's shoulder, his eyes showing relief.
It's like the eyes of an elder seeing a promising junior.
After King Yan found out, he placed Zhao Jin's status even more seriously in his heart.
However, after Zhao Jin noticed Zhao Qian's gaze, he resisted the urge to frown.
He has not forgotten that Zhao Qian wanted to sacrifice him alive for the so-called evil ghost.
No matter how favorably Zhao Qian treated him, it was only on the premise that Zhao Jin had not touched Zhao Qian's interests.
…
The drawings presented by Zhao Jin soon spread throughout the court. Some people were happy and some were sad, but in any case, for the people, this was a good thing.
Zhao Jin's reputation among the people is getting louder and louder, and there are even storytellers telling Zhao Jin's experience.
King Yan took Zhao Jin's drawings and took several experienced officials to Hedong County to control the water.
While the floodplains in the Minjiang River were being managed in an orderly manner, the three-year inspection by the Metropolitan Police Department also began.
Every three years, Zhao Qianhui appoints officials from the Ducha Division as governors to inspect various parts of the Zhao Kingdom.
During each inspection, officials from various places worked hard to put the areas under their jurisdiction in good order, fearing that the governor would find out something wrong.
After this round of governors were decided, officials from various places were even more troubled.
The governor this time was Kong Wen, deputy commander of the Ducha Division.
As everyone knows, Kong Wen has always been a loyal and upright honest minister who could not tolerate sand in his eyes.
If it were only the former, everyone might not be so distressed. There would always be a way to force him to submit, or just get rid of Kong Wen directly.
However, Kong Wen was a pure minister and a confidant of the emperor.
In this way, everyone has to think carefully before touching Kong Wen.
After all, the person standing behind Kong Wen was Zhao Qian.
After Zhao Jin learned the news, he immediately sent a message to Yang Xu and others, asking them to stop making firecrackers and cannons to avoid being discovered by Kong Wen.
The seventh prince was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
He paced back and forth in the study for about half an hour, finally gritted his teeth, changed his clothes and went out.
"Where are you going, Your Highness?"
The seventh prince waved his hand and walked out quickly, "You don't have to follow me."
He went directly to the East Palace.
"Seventh brother came here, why?" Zhao Xingyu pretended not to know anything.
"Brother." The seventh prince approached Zhao Xingyu with an anxious expression, "The governor this time is Kong Wen. What should we do?"
Before Zhao Xingyu could speak, the seventh prince poured out all the worries and fears in his heart like beans.
"Kong Wen is a man of little skill. If we want to bribe or fool him, it will be almost impossible without investigating the matter involving Long County."
"But if the matter in Guanlong County is revealed, once it is traced to me..."
The Seventh Prince's anxious expression became even more intense. Thinking of the consequences of this being discovered, he couldn't help but swallowed, "Brother, you must help me this time!"
"Seventh brother, please be patient." Zhao Xingyu said calmly: "I have heard about this matter. No matter how anxious I am, seventh brother can't solve it, so why not calm down first."
Maybe it was because Zhao Xingyu's attitude was too gentle, or maybe the seventh prince was frightened by the current predicament and was a little out of control. He almost shouted at Zhao Qian and said:
"Brother Imperial! Don't forget, it was Brother Imperial who encouraged me to do this in the first place."
The threat in the seventh prince's words was too obvious, and Zhao Xingyu's calm expression was instantly broken.
"Seventh brother, I never said I don't care about you." Zhao Xingyu said coldly.
The Seventh Prince reluctantly calmed down. Now that the matter was over, he no longer tried to save himself for what he had just said. He said bluntly: "Brother, we are like grasshoppers on a rope now."
Zhao Xingyu forced a smile and said, "Seventh brother, Kong Wen is not without weaknesses. He is not greedy for money and power, and he does not have a lot of money and salt, but he has a deep relationship with his wife and children at home."
Hearing this, the seventh prince's eyes lit up, "Brother, what do you mean, start with...?"
"good."
Zhao Xingyu said harshly: "If Kong Wen doesn't understand, don't blame us."
"The Kong family has always been poor. There is no nursing home or anything like that at home. It is easy to deal with the Kong family." Zhao Xingyu looked at the seventh prince, "Seventh brother, there should be no problem with this matter, right?"
The problem was solved, and the seventh prince looked happy, "No problem!"
