Chapter 148 A Cup of Tea Decides the World
Chapter 148 A cup of tea decides the world
Qingu is very aware of her current social influence, she is a saint and a public figure, this should be paid attention to.
Kang Min cupped his hands towards Qingu: "I forgot to introduce myself. I am not only Yifan's cousin, but also a third-rank imperial envoy appointed by the Holy Majesty. I have the duty of patrolling the herds on behalf of heaven and investigating people's conditions. So, if the girl's suggestion makes sense , It’s possible to turn things around and take precautions.”
Qingu gasped, she didn't expect the other party to be so powerful, luckily she wasn't abrupt.
Quickly bowed to the other party, "The daughter of the people has met Mr. Kang, if you have offended me before, please return Haihan."
In fact, when Qingu went to see Mr. Yue, Kang Min was sitting in the mansion.
Although the concierge reported the title of Saintess of Linggui Mountain, it was nothing in the eyes of the Yue people. So what if the emperor rewarded her with a seal? If she really had the ability and background, she would have had real power long ago, would she still be a "civilian girl"?
No see, no see.
But Kang Min, who was next to him, said that he should meet again, and heard that the other party had excellent medical skills and had saved a whole city of people.
The more you are, the less interested you are in "excellent medical skills" and "people in a city". I'm afraid it's just bragging, but if Mr. Kang speaks, you must see him.
So when Qingu entered, Kang Min temporarily stood behind the screen and naturally listened to their conversation.
Qingu didn't know, originally she thought that she could bear the title of "No. 1 Saintess in the World" granted by the emperor, and with this aura, it would be easier to do things, but she found that she was really overthinking.
Forget it, anyway, she doesn't need the pity of others to earn a living. She has her own real ability, and she is as big as a person who doesn't ask for help.
After calming down, Qingu began to seriously analyze the situation in Cangwu County.
Because it concerns the client's clan, Qingu is very caring.
It took more than two months to walk both sides of the Xihe River. Fortunately, she has martial arts and can climb mountains and mountains, which is really impossible for an ordinary person.
So Qingu also has a lot of information about Xihe.
This should be a river impact plain, that is to say, there must have been a flood a long time ago, so this plain is the sedimentation of the river mud impacted by the upstream.
In this way, the possibility of another flood cannot be ruled out.
And because of the instructions of the turtle shell hexagram, Qingu became more and more certain about his conjecture.
After the flood, there will be a drought. At that time, this fertile field of thousands of miles will become a hotbed of locusts... It will grow from here, and then begin to migrate to other places, becoming a large-scale locust plague.
Based on the information he possessed and his own conjecture, Qingu drew it on the table while drinking tea while talking.
Kang Min listened very seriously, frowning slightly from time to time, obviously he was not perfunctory, but thinking.
After Qingu finished speaking, after a while, Kang Min said: "What you said just now, in fact, there was a flood ten years ago, but the damage was not serious under the rescue efforts at that time. Over the years, we have dispatched floods every year. A lot of manpower and material resources have been used to dredge the river. If there is such a large-scale flood, I am afraid that the entire Cangwu County will be submerged. I want to know, what is the basis for what you said?"
Qingu unconsciously tapped her fingertips on the table, she hesitated, what should she say?
After thinking for a while, Qingu raised his head to look at Kang Min, and said very seriously: "To be honest, I deduced it based on a hexagram."
Such a large project cannot be decided by her in just a few words.
The other party has already explained his identity, and with the degree of self-confidence of the other party, he should have a certain right to speak.
Qingu thought about it, and decided to be more honest.
Although it still sounds ridiculous, it at least shows that she is serious and sincere.
Qingu: "About three years later, a very large locust plague may break out here. However, I have observed during this period, and it is said that there has been no rain for more than three months. In terms of time, the locust plague did not break out in the present, then It will rain after a long drought, and there may be heavy rain in the near future, and this is a low-lying place. If there is heavy rainfall in the surrounding areas, if all the rainwater and the rivers on the original mountains converge here, it is likely to become A disaster. Drought is likely to follow the flood, and the soil after the drought becomes a breeding ground for locusts, so... I think we should take precautions and dredge the river upstream..."
"I have traveled a lot in the past two months, and found that there is a valley on the other side of the river just over 20 miles upstream. According to the map, there are no villages there. Perhaps a section of the mountain over there can be excavated. Lead the river there. Moreover, the terrain there, even the valley is much higher than here, and when it is dry, the water in the valley can be diverted here..."
After listening to Qingu's eloquent narration, the tea room was extremely quiet.
Kang Min looked at Qingu's eyes firmly, with a hint of surprise in his solemnity.
It would be naive to say that the original intention of the other party to start the investigation was just because of a hexagram.
Then what the other party said later was definitely not just talking nonsense, just relying on the hexagrams and what I took for granted.
It is a result that has been fully demonstrated after being honest and investigated.
The previous understanding of this saint was limited to the description of her cousin: naive and persistent in dealing with feelings.
And the evaluation of others: the house is kind-hearted, free and unrestrained.
The reason why he deliberately invited the other party to drink tea alone was indeed for his cousin Kang Yifan on the one hand.
In fact, he also subconsciously felt at first, did the other party know the identity of his cousin, so he came here on purpose?
He even thought that he could agree to all her demands except pestering his cousin again, such as placing her in Kang's house... Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the other party said very simply that he didn't care about Yifan.
On the other hand, he was very curious, how could a woman say such things to Yue county magistrate?
Is it the other party's wild lies, or is there any real evidence?
If it is the former, then it is only natural that Master Yue said that she would be accused of deceiving people.
Unexpectedly, after this detailed talk, there was a subtle change in his heart towards this veiled woman.
A feeling of admiration arises spontaneously, for a woman to be able to do this, many people in power who eat the king's salary will be ashamed.
Kang Min looked serious, but he had to think about the problem of dredging the river and the upstream reservoir.
It sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult to do.
Finally, he said: "I will seriously consider what you said. If possible, I will give you an answer in twenty days."
No matter how gaudy what Qingu said, he must go to the field to investigate.
