Mei Boqing's face was not visible, but his eyes showed a little shock.

"Your mother has grown abilities now, and she can even see the flood."

Xiao Song smiled proudly: "My mother is naturally capable. When my parents went from the capital to Nanyi, they all depended on my mother to look at the sky and search for water sources, so that they could not lose their arrival alone. My mother was very capable of looking at the weather. She said that it would rain and it would definitely not be sunny. She said that it would be drought, and it would inevitably rain."

Mei Boqing frowned and said, "If there is really a flood, then you should report to the court earlier..."

He stopped before he finished speaking.

Mei Boqing has lived to this day, and his innocence and loneliness when he was young have been almost done.

He is already an old man who has experienced the world, so he naturally knows that the court today really tells them that there will be floods next spring, and no one will care about it.

The ministers in the court only knew how to plunder the people's wealth and ointment. Emperor Jingqing became more and more stupid. Now he only knew how to spoil Concubine Li, and he ignored the rest. In addition, the encroachment of those aristocratic families, Daqi was in crisis everywhere, but no one came out to clean up the mess. He told them that there was a disaster, so what could he do?

Xiao Song saw what Mei Boqing was thinking.

He waited for a while before saying, "My mother was encountering drought and locust plague on her way to Nanyi. She was starving for thousands of miles at that time, but did anyone in the court take care of it? No, now the monarchs and ministers in the Great Qi court are even more drunken. Even if the flood is really overwhelming, who will come out to take care of it?"

After hearing this, Mei Boqing's backbone was a little bent. He sighed: "It's just a pain for the people."

Mei Boqing pointed to the chair: "Sit down."

Xiao Song sat down: "Master should go to Nanyi with us. You don't know, our Nanyi is good now."

Xiao Song was a good person. After sitting down, he began to talk about what Xiao Yuan had done in recent years, from making salt to providing good seeds to the people, from building roads to encouraging trade, Mei Boqing also listened to the words and saw the brilliant eyes.

"You guy is used to staying in Nanyi, but you are not used to leaving Yuechuan Mansion. You don't know that our Nanyi roads are well built. Not only the city, but also the roads in each village are also cement roads. When they are dry, there is no dust and it will not be muddy when it rains. It is smooth and tight. When we walk out of Yuechuan Mansion, we really can't stand it..."

Mei Boqing became more and more interested in listening. He carefully asked Xiao Song Nanyi's grain output, the lives of the people, etc.

When he heard that the people of Nanyi Prefecture can not only eat and wear well, but also study for free, and some people can seek medical treatment in time when they are sick, they can't help but praise: "It's so good, it's so good..."

Xiao Song smiled: "Or what I said you should go and see. The prosperity of Yangzhou City is true, but when you go and see our Nanyi Mansion, that is the real wealth. My mother said, if you go, you will definitely be well received. If you can take your uncles, then my mother will definitely be happier."

"this……"

Mei Boqing was a little hesitant.

Xiao Song stepped up his persuasion: "You are teaching here. Will you not teach when you arrive at our Nanyi Mansion? There are more students in our Nanyi, and there are more students and fewer teachers. If you are willing to take your uncles over there, it will really solve our urgent needs. Master, think about how many children we Nanyi are, and how many pairs of eyes are thirsty for studying. The children want to learn, and my father also intends to cultivate talents, but there is no teacher... Besides, if you don't do it for you, you have to think about it for my uncle and brothers. If there is really a flood next spring, the people will be in chaos, and you will not be sure of your in Yangzhou City. If there is something really, my mother will feel sorry for you."

Xiao Song tried hard to persuade Mei Boqing from all aspects, which finally made Mei Boqing a little loose.

Xiao Song took the opportunity to tell Mei Boqing that he wanted to talk to his master and grandmother, so Mei Boqing asked his servants to take him to see Mrs. Mei.

After Xiao Song left, Mei Boqing opened the letter and went to read it.

After watching, he covered his head and sighed: "This child, this child..."

An Ning complained to Mei Boqing in her letter, saying that the Nanyi side lacked talents, and it was not a small lack, but it was not a shortage. There were not enough officials in the Nanyi governments, and even shortages of teachers. She and Xiao Yuan were almost worried about this.

They are attracting victims everywhere and discovering various talents from the victims, but it is still not enough.

Because there is no manpower, many government orders cannot be implemented, and some of her ideas cannot be realized. She wanted to ask Mei Boqing to help her, introduce her to some senior brothers and sisters, and promised Mei Boqing that as long as she is willing to go there, she will definitely give her a particularly good treatment. If she has real talent and knowledge, she can immediately arrange to take office.

After reading this letter, Mei Boqing still didn't know what An Ning meant.

An Ning invited him to go and asked him to take his students there. On the one hand, it was to seek talent, and on the other hand, it also meant that he had a lot of money to buy horse bones.

Mei Boqing was a great scholar of the times, and many of his disciples had real skills. Among his disciples, many of them were very famous. If these people were willing to go to the Southern Yi, they would undoubtedly tell the people that the people would like to be the will of the people.

In addition, An Ning also wanted to attract talents by using Mei Boqing's name.

Mei Boqing guessed Xiao Yuan’s ambition to compete for the Central Plains from Xiao Song’s story, and naturally knew that if Xiao Yuan wanted to unify the country, he would definitely need talents from all aspects.

The southern Yi prefectures have always been barbarians, and there has always been a lack of education and etiquette, so there are naturally even less people who can be used.

So, the couple hit him.

He thought he would not care, but when he thought of An Ning, he thought of his daughter who was so angry at home.

An Ning is about the same size as his daughter. When he was young, the two children played very well, and he treated An Ning as his biological daughter.

Now his daughter has passed away for many years, and Yushi Liu has passed away long ago. He pity An Ning for losing her parents early and regrets his daughter, so he treats An Ning as his daughter. An Ning complained in his letter, which made him feel soft-hearted.

The child was in a dilemma, and he, the uncle, could not ignore it.

However, he was unable to leave his family and business to Nanyi, and he was a little reluctant to part with some old friends in Yangzhou.

Besides, he was still a bit literary and thought that he was not much different from the thief when he went to Nanyi.

He was unsure of his mind, but Xiao Song had already met Mrs. Mei.

He handed An Ning's letter to Mrs. Mei, and told her how An Ning thought of her, and said how good it was in the Nanyi side. An Ning wanted to invite their family to come and see something.

In addition, Xiao Song also mentioned that there would be a flood in the spring next year and advised Mrs. Mei to put her family first.

If it were anything else, Mrs. Mei might not be loose, but when she talked about floods, she was frightened.

Later, Xiao Song talked about the situation where he saw hungry people everywhere on the way, which finally made Mrs. Mei make up her mind.
