Chapter 871

Mo Chuan did not call out names and did not point at Xia Yu Yan's nose to scold her, but she felt her face burning like someone had whipped her, making her feel ashamed.

She reflected on herself. Even if she didn't read ten thousand books, she had read at least eight thousand, but they were all poems. As for other books, she didn't even bother to look at them.

Like the flood and drought that the emperor had mentioned, as well as the people's bitter lives, she had read about them in poems before. She had never read them in detail, not understanding them at all.

She had always thought that she was talented, and that even the poems of those learned scholars could not compare to her.

Now she knew that she was just a frog at the bottom of a well. She still had too many things to learn, she could not be called a talented girl just because she knew a few poems. With her talent ….. she was not worthy of being a country's empress!

There were quite a few girls like Xia Yu Yan who realized their own shortcomings. They all silently retreated at the same time.

Like this, there was one person that stood out.

That green clothed girl was in deep thought, not noticing that the girls beside her were all quietly retreating. She was standing in front of everyone by herself, looking very strange.

"Oh, for this girl to step forward, could it be that you've thought of a good method?"

Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes swept over and fell onto the green clothed girl's face. Her eyes were filled with eagerness.

This was because she could see that the other girls had already retreated and only this green clothed girl was thinking.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this little girl has indeed thought of a few methods, but I don't know if they will be useful." The green clothed girl looked up. She did not look at Mo Chuan, but rather at Empress Dowager Zhou.

"Let's hear it." Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes lit up.

The girls behind the green clothed girl all took in a cold breath. They looked at the girl's back with eyes filled with disbelief, their hearts filled with dissatisfaction.

Humph, you only know how to brag! We can't think of a single method with all of us here, but you can think of several methods by yourself, who are you trying to trick!

Just wait for the emperor and the Empress Dowager to see through your lies and ruthlessly punish you for your crimes.

The green clothed girl calmly said, "The Wei River is our West Chu's largest river, it runs through the entire Guan Nan area and is the main source of water and irrigation for the local people. Many people call the Wei River the 'Mother River', but this mother river has a large hidden danger. It will burst its banks almost every year and as long as the Wei River bursts its banks, the surrounding hundred miles of villages and commoners will suffer a disaster. So to solve the Guan Nan flood, we first have to control the Wei River. Once we solve the problem of the mother river bursting its banks every year, the flood will naturally be solved."

She said it in a clear and clear manner. Even Su Su Su Su and the other girls who only knew how to recite poems could understand....

So this was how the flood was.

Everyone looked at the green-clothed girl with admiration in their eyes.
