Chapter 411 Stereotypes are ingrained

  Emperor Yongning had been happy for many days in a row, and his daily meals suddenly increased a little. Compared with ten days ago, his complexion looked much better, and his dying state had disappeared a lot.

Concubine Hua watched him getting better, and smiled and said, “Sacred Lord, sage, my concubine has been coaxing you every day these days, so I hope you can eat more and your body will be better, but you just can’t eat anything. Now, because of a letter from A Ning, you are so happy, the concubine doesn’t understand, what’s so magical about A Ning’s letter?”

   Concubine Hua jokingly said, “Tell the concubine quickly, the concubine will turn around and prescribe the right medicine, and ask A Ning to write more letters like this for you to read.”

  Emperor Yongning: “Not every letter from A Ning can make me so happy.”

   Concubine Hua: “The concubine doesn’t quite understand the meaning of the sage.”

Emperor Yongning explained: “Since the death of the crown prince, the false eldest prince has dealt with several of his capable brothers, and those people are really not up to their expectations, and let the false eldest prince seize the fatal reason, so I never said that What the fake first prince, the fake first prince will enforce the law impartially, no problem.”

“The problem is, the remaining princes spend all day hanging around in brothels and teahouses, all of them are wine bags and rice bags, and they are not useful. The only one that is useful, and the fake eldest prince can’t solve it, is only A Ning. ”

   “A Ning is smart, and I also have high hopes for her. However, Concubine, you also know that there has never been a precedent for a woman to rule in the world. It will be difficult for A Ning to take this position.”

   “Many courtiers have opinions, and they don’t want her to go to the court. But this time she has found out about Li County magistrate’s corruption case. If those courtiers have any opinions, they should shut up.”

   But if it is next, Jun Ning will make persistent efforts, don’t relax, and if he has political achievements, he will definitely be able to completely shut up those courtiers who oppose.

   A person, who can convince people, will always have only strength.

  The courtiers were dissatisfied before, and they seemed to be dissatisfied with the identity of Jun Ning’s daughter. In fact, they thought that Jun Ning had been spoiled by Emperor Yongning since childhood. She had no knowledge or experience, nor had she experienced any major events. When she came to the court, she did not come to do business, but to join in the fun.

  Chaotang is the place where the eyes of the world are looking, it is very serious and no jokes are allowed.

   Jun Ning can only accept and convince them that she has really achieved political achievements and expressed her attitude.

   These are well known to Emperor Yongning, so he boldly released Jun Ning to practice. Jun Ning’s use cannot be seen by him alone, but also by those ministers.

“The concubine knows the thoughts of the sage, but…” Concubine Hua couldn’t help crying, “Compared to those, the concubine wants A Ning more, to be safe and smooth, and to live a happy life, the concubine cannot let A Ning live. so tired.”

“Qionghua…” Emperor Yongning grabbed Qionghua’s hand next to him and patted it with his other free hand, “Why don’t I want that. But, there are times in life when you can’t choose, what is in front of you, There is only one way. If Ah Ning can handle things, but doesn’t stand up sooner, sooner or later, it will be useless to be able to handle things again, wealth and glory, everything will turn into a phantom.”

  …

When    started to build the dam, Jun Ning ran to the dam all day long, and when she saw that they used simple soil to raise the dam, she looked anxious.

  The soil is loose, even after adding water to make it into mud, no matter how high the accumulation is, once the river floods, it will be washed away quickly.

   No wonder such a small river dam is being repaired every year, but after so many years of construction, it is not seen that it has not been washed away by floods in a year.

   If it doesn’t work, it’s still useless, and it still can’t escape the fate of being washed away.

  Jun Ning stood against the sun and said to the craftsman, “Why don’t you use stones to reinforce the dam? Instead, you only use mud? The dam reinforced with stones must be more resistant to impact than the piled up mud.”

   The sky was extremely hot, and the seven craftsmen of Hemu were flushed from the sun, and the beads of sweat on their foreheads fell down the sides of their faces.

A craftsman who was closest to Jun Ning saw Jun Ning asking questions, he put down the tools and mud in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, “Your Highness Princess, there is no shortage of stones in Yuyang County, and everyone knows that they are piled up with stones. The built dam is more resistant to impact, but if you look at this river, the width of the river is very wide, not one or two, and a truck or two of stones can be piled up, so many, many stones are needed.”

   “That is to say, a lot of laborers are needed to carry stones from far away. But Yuyang County has a lot of old and weak women and children, and they all hate local officials, and they can’t do it if they want to.”

   Every time the craftsmen build this dam, it is very annoying and embarrassing.

   They also don’t want to make do with it, so that they repair it every year. However, with their abilities, they can’t change the status quo, and there is no other way except to make do.

   Jun Ning fanned the wind with her hand and said, “I see.”

The craftsman wondered, “Is there any solution for Her Royal Highness? If there is a way, we will not only live the mud, we will carry stones to repair the dam this year. I believe that the dam made of stones will last for many years. It will not be easily washed away again.”

“I’ll think about the way first. Since we’re doing this, let’s do it well.” Jun Ning said, “I’ll find a way to get the stone. Think about it, how to mix with the mud and add something to the mud, It can make the mud more difficult to wash away a little bit.”

   As the saying goes, the three cobblers are the top Zhuge Liang.

   But at this moment, seven craftsmen, who have been building dams for so many years, really can’t think of what could be added to the mud.

  Jun Ning sighed and said bluntly: “Plant fibers have tensile properties. As long as straw is added to the mud, the tensile strength of the dam can be increased.”

   These words, some of them are convoluted, and some of them are incomprehensible.

   But Jun Ning was anxious about how to get the stone, so she didn’t explain it to them.

   Several craftsmen guessed, and finally understood what the princess meant, that is, adding straw into the mud. But afraid of guessing wrong, the craftsman also deliberately checked with Jun Ning, and finally got a positive answer from Jun Ning.

  The artisans decided to give it a try.

  Jun Ning let them have a try, while she went back and figured out how to carry the stones.

   Stereotypes are ingrained.

   It is really difficult to convince the only labor force in Yuyang County, but they have great opinions on the government, to participate in the construction of the dam.

   Jun Ning scratched her hair in distress, and finally faced the difficulty and tried to persuade. But those people stared at her face when she came over on the first day. Even now that she has dealt with Magistrate Li, they don’t appreciate it. They still yell at Jun Ning.

   When I saw Jun Ning, I threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs directly at Jun Ning.
