She asked Mo Chuan.
Mo Chuan tightly knit his brows and thought for a while before replying, "It must be because their ancestors are used to migrating and living in tents. They are not used to living in built houses. As for bridges? Is it because they lack craftsmen that are good at building bridges? "
"Of course not!" She shook her head.
"Then what is the reason?"
"The reason is very simple. It is because the East Qin Country's main land is grasslands and the soil is very loose, so it is very suitable for growing plants. However, this kind of soil cannot be used to build houses because under the vegetation, there is a layer of sand, so it is impossible to build a solid foundation. If the foundation is not stable, the houses built will quickly collapse. This is why the East Qin Country has always lived in tents and the reason why there are no bridges across the entire country! It's not that they don't want to live in stable houses or that they lack craftsmen, it's that they can't do it at all! "
Chen Ning's reasoning was easy to understand and Mo Chuan understood it once he heard it, but what he did not understand was how she knew it so clearly.
What layer of sand, what not being able to build houses without a stable foundation ….. Everything was clear and logical!
Even a well-read emperor like him did not know as much as she did.
"Then the blueprint you gave him was how to solve the problem of the layer of sand, allowing them to build strong houses and strong bridges?" He asked.
"That's right! I've read books related to East Qin and understood that their land has this kind of flaw. Their ancestors have lived in tents and it is very hard for them. The winter winds are bone chilling and the summer is incomparably hot. They want to be like our West Chu, having large and spacious houses to live in, but they can't do it. The houses they build will collapse in less than a month and it is very inconvenient without a bridge. So when Na Mu Cuo saw my blueprint, he treated it like a treasure because he is a man of great talent. Letting hundreds of thousands of East Qin citizens live in comfortable houses and building bridges across every river in East Qin, this has always been his wish! Compared to his wish, I am just a trivial girl, what do I count for? Mo Chuan, if you were Na Mu Cuo, what would you choose? "
Her voice was clear and her eyes were bright as she looked at him.
Mo Chuan replied without any hesitation, "Of course I would choose you!"
Yi! His answer was out of Chen Ning's expectations.
Mo Chuan hugged her and kissed her cheek. He said with a smile, "Our West Chu has strong houses and bridges, so of course I want you. Na Mu Cuo treats the blueprint as a treasure, so he gave up on you to choose it. He is known as the smartest person, but in my opinion, he is not smart enough."
"Why?" Chen Ning looked at him.
"If I were him, I would choose you. With you, why would I be afraid of not having the blueprint?"
She shook her head and said with a serious expression, "Because I told him that if he chose me, I would marry him, but he would never be able to obtain this blueprint from me. I am a man of my word, Na Mu Cuo is a smart person, he would not make the wrong choice."
Mo Chuan took in a cold breath, "If he chose you, would you really marry him?" The muscles on his chin unknowingly tightened.
