Chapter 495 Lanling Borrows Food?

Su Xian wiped his sweat and finally turned the page.

Next, he changed to another painting method, instead of painting the front, he changed the painting to the side, so as to better reflect the size of the bowl.

Li Youqing no longer demands "realism". Su Xian can draw whatever he wants, as long as it can be expressed clearly.

Soon after, Su Xian finished ten simple drawings. According to the size of the bowl, they were A, B, B, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.

At this point, Li Youqing finally had an intuitive understanding of the specifications of the bowl.

Next, it’s time to solve the “not quite” problem.

This time, both of them maintained restraint and only discussed the problem, not what he thought.

Su Xian was also unambiguous and suggested elastic shoulder straps and adding iron wire to the jade cover. He also improved and optimized the shape of the jade cover...

After hearing these suggestions, Li Youqing suddenly became enlightened, and finally said with a smile: "I will find someone to improve the jade shield, and then I will find women of various... sizes to try it on."

"Uh..." Su Xian didn't know how to respond.

"Su Consultation will also come to discuss the details at that time." Li Youqing said with a smile.

"The subordinate takes orders!"

"..."

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Su Xian said goodbye and left.

Qiu Dianjun outside the window felt slightly disappointed. She originally thought that something embarrassing would happen between the princess and Su Xian.

After Su Xian left the princess's sleeping tent, he wiped his face. Remembering that the methods to prevent the plague had not yet been explained, he quickly ran to the tent in Zhou's office...

This explanation was given in the afternoon.

After sending Zhou Ji's office to the official road south to the disaster area, Su Xian returned to Yingzhou City. After a busy day, it was time to "get off work".

Just when he had just returned to the Su Mansion on Dongcheng Street, three fast horses ran out of the camp gate in the north of the city at the same time, running in different directions.

They are messengers.

Detailed regulations on methods to prevent the plague were sent to the deposed envoys of the other three major disaster areas, that is, the deposed envoys of Hedong Province, the deposed envoys of Duji Province, and the deposed envoys of Henan Province.

In fact, Princess Lanling, Wang Sima and other subordinate officials believed that the method of preventing plague should not be given to the other three major disaster areas.

First, others may not necessarily adopt it, so why bother sticking your warm face to someone else’s cold ass?
Second, if the plague is really prevented, it will be a great achievement. Wouldn’t it be good for them to share this credit alone?We must know that among the other three major disaster areas, the deposed envoys of Hedong Province and the deposed envoys of Henan Province are both Qian Zhongshu and the prince!
Giving away the method to prevent the plague would be tantamount to "capitalizing the enemy". Only a fool would do such a thing.

So why did Li Youqing give this method away in the end?
Because of Su Xian's suggestion.

Su Xian said:

"Looking at the overall situation, once this method is successful, it will be a good way to save the people of the world. As the Prime Minister, do you want to watch the people in other disaster areas contract the plague and die?"

"It's one of them."

"There is a second point. Just imagine, if this method is successful, we in Hebei Province have successfully prevented the plague, but the other three disaster areas have suffered heavy casualties, there are even no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, and bones are exposed in the wild... If Her Majesty the Queen asks, Why don't you rescue people in other disaster areas? What is the princess' answer?"

"..."

Li Youqing is worthy of being a hero among women. It is clear from one point that she is someone who wants to do something big. How can she make mistakes in the face of big things?

Besides, if this method proves to be effective, no one will be able to escape her share of the credit!
So Li Youqing waved his hand, and the three envoys took the letters and went straight to the other three major disaster areas.

As for whether they adopt it or not, I don’t know. It’s just a matter of human nature and destiny, because it’s really beyond the reach of the whip.

……

That night.

Henan Road.

Songzhou.

Songzhou was not close to the Yellow River, so it was not affected by the flood. The deposed envoy of Henan Province appointed by the imperial court was stationed here. This person was from Qian Zhongshu and the prince.

At that time, the deposed envoy of Henan Province gathered the governors of various states and discussed the details of disaster relief in the hall.

Suddenly, someone entered the hall from outside the hall, holding a letter in both hands. He walked up to the deposed envoy of Henan Province, bowed, and handed the envelope to him with both hands.

He took it casually, not intending to read it, because the discussion was reaching a critical moment and he couldn't be distracted.

But when he glanced at the cover of the letter, he raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to stop the governor of a certain state from making an impassioned speech. He took the letter in his hand and read it again.

The governors immediately became angry and did not dare to speak out. They all looked at the letter in his hand and wondered what kind of letter it was.How could the deposed envoy pay so much attention to it!
"As long as you continue to discuss, I will come as soon as I go!"

The deposed envoy of Henan Province took the letter and left directly, and went to the side hall on the side of the hall. Several confidants also followed in. One of the confidants asked:
"But a letter from Qian Zhongshu?"

"No, it's not Qian Zhongshu, but...Princess Lanling!" The deposed envoy of Henan Province opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and read it.

The confidants suddenly looked at each other.

A letter from Princess Lanling?

You know, they are the people of Qian Zhongshu and the prince, and they are natural political enemies with Princess Lanling. Why did she write a letter at this time?
When I was young, the deposed envoy of Henan Province read the letter.

The confidants observed his expression and found something... strange.

"Do you think that Princess Lanling is writing this letter to borrow food from us?" A confidant made a guess. His guess was actually quite reasonable, because they knew that Hebei Province was the most food-deficient among the four major disaster areas.

"It's very possible that we are separated from Hebei Road by a river. If she wants to borrow food, our Henan Road is the closest place!" Another confidant agreed.

"Ha! Borrow food?" The third confidant sneered, "Isn't she very powerful? Doesn't she show off her power in the court? Why does she still need to borrow food from us? We won't borrow it!"

"Yes, yes, we have no food left..."

"..."

The deposed envoy of Henan Province waved his hand, and the cynicism of his confidants stopped.

Just listen to his deep voice:

"Princess Lanling's letter is not to borrow food."

"What? It's not about borrowing food..." All the confidants felt embarrassed. They originally thought this was an opportunity to despise Princess Lanling, but they didn't know that it was just a joy in vain.

"Not only is it not a loan of food, but also..." The deposed envoy of Henan Province looked strange, and then turned into disdain and disgust, saying: "And he also gave us instructions on how to provide disaster relief!"

"Guide us in disaster relief?!" The confidants immediately exploded. Everyone knows how to provide disaster relief, so why do you need to give guidance? Isn't this looking down on others?

"This is a letter sent by Princess Lanling. You should also read it. Some of the words in it are very confusing. Everyone looks at it with amusement."

The deposed envoy of Henan Province handed the letters to his confidants.

After reading them one by one, the confidants looked equally weird, and then laughed together, and some even bent down.

"What the hell is this? What else are you doing... a mask? What the hell is that!"

"Looking at how serious they looked in the letter, I just wanted to laugh, hahahahaha..."

"Huh? This method of preventing the plague came from Su Xian? Who is Su Xian?"

"This person is somewhat famous, but he is a weakling. He is just talking nonsense. Princess Lanling actually regards him as a role model. Haha... Let's just wait and see her jokes. We can also read her book afterwards. These tricks are really a waste of people and money. !”

"That's right, when we return to Beijing after the disaster, we will report together to Princess Lanling for listening to children's nonsense and wasting people and money..."

"..."
