The Village Doctress Chapter 800: About him for a drink
"Your Highness is really tall!" Meng Bufan raised his eyebrows, gave her a thumbs up, and sighed: "Even I didn't expect His Highness to have such a bold decision. If our wish is really fulfilled, Your Highness It must be left in the history!"
Lin Fufu frowned and said with a smile: "I'm not interested in leaving a name in Qingshi, I just want to let it out. But Brother Meng, you will definitely leave your name in Qingshi."
Just relying on the great victory in southern Xinjiang, it is enough for Meng Bufan to leave his name in history.
As for herself, she never wanted to do that.
Meng Bufan knew what she was talking about, so he twitched his lips slightly, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Is His Royal Highness Prince Jin placed in your house?"
Lin Fufu was most afraid that he would ask about Huangfu Jin, so he frowned helplessly, but replied honestly, "He has his own house in the capital."
The implication is that he did not live in her house this time, but in his own house.
It's just that Huangfu Jin is in her house now, but she doesn't need to say this sentence, so as not to cause more complications.
After Meng Bufan heard this, his handsome face was relaxed.
"I was planning to invite His Royal Highness Prince Jin to have a drink when I have time. Since I'm not at your house, can Your Highness give me a place so that I can find him?" Meng Bufan said generously this time.
Lin Fufu felt a little headache.
Looking for him to drink is a good way to say it on the surface, but in fact, if he has something to say, let's talk to Huangfu Jin.
However, this is a private matter, so she doesn't want to ask more questions, let alone interfere, so she nodded and said, "That's fine, his house is in Tonghua Hutong, and there's one in Linfu."
"Lin Manor?" Meng Bufan's eyes flashed, and then he said with a smile: "That's right, he is the Prince of Beirong, so naturally he can't set up property in Wei Dynasty, is he using a fake household registration?"
Lin Fufu twitched the corner of his mouth, brother, as long as you know, you still have to say it.
"However, he used His Highness's surname, which shows his intentions." Meng Bufan raised his eyebrows, and his tone became more and more indifferent. Naturally, Lin Fufu couldn't say anything, but he was speechless.
"Your Highness is also tired today, I will send Your Highness back to the mansion." Seeing that Lin Fufu didn't respond anymore, Meng Bufan also felt that it was very boring, so he said he wanted to send her back to the princess mansion.
It was not easy for Lin Fufu to refuse, so he took the initiative to invite him and said, "That's fine, then invite Brother Meng to ride with me, I happen to have something to talk to Brother Meng in private."
In private, she has always insisted on calling him Big Brother Meng, how could Meng Bufan not know what she was thinking?
It's just that there was another accident after all, and he was still unwilling in the end.
"Alright, I thought about it last night, and I have a lot of things to discuss with you." Meng Bufan continued kindly.
When the two left the palace together, many ministers on the way greeted them respectfully, but no one guessed their relationship.
Because everyone in the court knows that Princess Tiangui and Lord Xiaomeng have a very good personal relationship, but they spend more time together, which is also for the affairs of the court.
As for Meng Bufan getting into Lin Fufu's carriage, no one will discuss it. In the eyes of those old tricksters, if Princess Tiangui really wants to have something with Mrs. Xiao Meng, with the two of them In terms of family background and status in the imperial court, the two have been together for a long time, and it will not be delayed until Princess Tiangui becomes an old lady.
Actually, in the hearts of those old cunning people, they still sympathize with Lin Fufu occasionally, not for other reasons, but for her and for Wei Shengsheng, who turned herself into an old girl...
Lin Fufu naturally didn't know that in the eyes of the Wei courtiers, she became the old girl whom they sympathized with.
At this moment, Sitting in the carriage, she told Meng Bufan her idea of digging the North-South Grand Canal. After hearing this, Meng Bufan's dark eyes became brighter. The brochure on the canal was shown to him.
Meng Bufan took it as precious as a treasure, and looked at it without distraction.
Lin Fufu didn't show this excerpt in the court, she just planned to show it to Meng Bufan first, and of course to show it to Meng Bufan, which means to show it to the noble faction of the Meng family.
Meng Bufan's serious expression just now let Lin Fufu know that he is also very interested in digging the North-South Grand Canal, and he must support her suggestion in court.
Sure enough, after reading Lin Fufu's notebook, Meng Bufan's eyes shone hotly, and he couldn't help clapping his hands in admiration, "Your Highness, your proposal to dig the North-South Grand Canal is really great! List it in your notebook These benefits are so tempting! I think that once this book is announced in the court, all the ministers will definitely agree!"
Lin Fufu pursed his lips slightly, Meng Bufan was really too optimistic.
"I don't think so." Lin Fufu twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "If other ministers agree, I know, but the Ministry of Household Affairs will be crying poor."
Huangfu Jin froze for a moment, then closed Lin Fufu's booklet and put it aside carefully, "Your Highness, if the Ministry of Finance disagrees, I'm afraid it won't work. The benefits listed in your booklet will even tempt a clay figurine .”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the booklet on the small table again, and asked, "Can I take this book home for my father to read?"
Lin Fufu couldn't wait, and immediately nodded with a smile, "Of course, this book is actually written first for Brother Meng and the old prime minister to have a look at it first. If you think there is no problem, I plan to call six more officials to discuss it carefully. Take a look."
For the digging of the Grand Canal, Lin Fufu is absolutely serious.
"Well, it's time to discuss it in detail. In my opinion, the importance of digging the North-South Grand Canal is higher than making the small southern barbarians surrender to the Great Wei." Meng Bufan nodded seriously, but then a look appeared in his eyes. Worried, "But Your Highness is right to be worried. It's not because the Ministry of Households is called poor, but because the Ministry of Households really can't afford the money to dig the Grand Canal."
Meng Bufan has traveled far and wide in those years, so he naturally has some understanding of the geographical situation of the water pattern in the Great Wei Dynasty. He has seen with his own eyes that there was a rainy summer and a catastrophic flood occurred in Jingzhou. In that year, the imperial court distributed a total of one million taels of silver For disaster relief, they also allocated 100,000 shi of rice and grain to Jingzhou for disaster relief, but it was not enough.
If the North-South Grand Canal is to be dug, the manpower and material resources that will be spent are definitely not comparable to a small-scale flood.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the treasury of the Great Wei will definitely not be able to provide that much money.
Of course, Lin Fufu is clear about this problem, so she also has some countermeasures.
Seeing that Meng Bufan was still waiting for her to speak, Lin Fufu muttered: "If you want to do such a big thing, it's not enough to just point to the money in the treasury."
Seeing her calm expression, Meng Bufan couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, and asked with a somewhat joyful tone: "According to His Highness, you already have a countermeasure?"
