Chapter 122 122. Promotion

"This, this is." Shen Wucheng didn't expect this scene, and his brain shut down on the spot.

The granary is quite far from the city. How did Wu or Bei discover it?

Wu Orbei seemed to understand his thoughts, and said: "The clerk at the granary saw our hard work, so he went to the market to buy some good vegetables, and he also brought this back."

"Shen Wuzhen, apart from you and your people, everyone else was under my nose yesterday."

Shen Wucheng quibbled: "I don't know, maybe someone stole the document and put a reward on it for fun."

Wu Orbei's face turned blue and white, and he finally asked: "Do you have any solution to the problem of the granary?"

"Yes, yes." Shen Wucheng was very confident.

Wu or Bei lost his last bit of character and shouted: "What a fool you are! Why are you doing this?"

Wu or Bei was so angry that it was one thing to have no hope, but now that he had been given hope and disappointed, he was really going to be tortured to death.

Seeing that Wu Orbei was sure that he was the one responsible for the reward, Shen Wucheng broke the jar and said, "I just can't help it, don't you? Don't take your temper out on me."

He suddenly flicked his sleeves, swept to the table next to the door, and swept down the drawings on the table.

Wu or Bei picked it up and saw the ghostly drawings on it again. I am afraid that even a three-year-old's graffiti would be better than this.

Wu Orbei asked in a deep voice: "Did you really solve those difficult problems before?"

Facing that sharp look, Shen Wuzhen's face flashed with panic for a moment, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Yeah, you can't doubt me just because you don't like me. There must be evidence for suspicion."

Wu Orbei raised the drawing in his hand and said: "This is the evidence. At first, I thought that talented people have some quirks, so I tolerated your joke."

"Now it seems that this is probably your true ability."

"This doesn't mean anything," Shen Wujiao said forcefully, "It won't help if you say these useless things."

Wu Hebei is not here to make talk. He said with some dejection: "If this granary cannot be repaired, it will be a death sentence for you and me. If there is a capable person behind you, please tell me quickly."

Shen Wuzhen trembled and said, "It's not that serious."

"Why not!" Wu Youbei threatened: "That's tens of thousands of tons of food. If it were just gone, it would be an exaggeration for His Majesty to wipe out the Ministry of Industry!"

Shen Wuzhen suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and as he had not slept all night, his mind was not very clear. He gritted his teeth and said, "That Xin Huiyuan helped me solve everything that happened before."

Wu or Bei Xindao was indeed like this. He didn't stay for a moment and left like a gust of wind.

Shen Wujiu was left standing there stupidly, not realizing that he was about to be in disaster.

Seven days later, a letter that had been expedited for 800 miles was delivered to Emperor Shao along with the paperwork.

After reading it roughly, anger rushed into his brain, and he slapped the desk to pieces, scaring Li Fu so much that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Li Fu." Shao Huang called.

Li Fu quickly rolled forward and said: "My servant is here."

Shaohuang pushed the document forward and said, "Bring the document to Yu An from the Ministry of Industry in person, and then follow his arrangements."

"Cha." Li Fu hurriedly took the document, feeling Shao Huang's anxiety, and ran out again crawling on the ground.

He rushed to the Ministry of Industry and asked someone to call Yu An out.

Soon, Yu An calmly came to Li Fu with a cane.

"Hou Hou. Hou" Li Fu stuttered immediately when he saw his face.

Yu An Gujing Wubo said: "Give me the paperwork, I'm in a hurry."

Li Fu didn't understand how Yu An knew about it, so he handed him the document blankly.

"Father, please wait a moment." Yu An said and returned to the Ministry of Industry building on crutches.

About a quarter of an hour later, he handed the revised drawings and a letter to Li Fu.

Yu An said calmly: "Please, father-in-law, please go to the inn to rush to Mr. Wu or Bei Wu. My legs and feet are not good, so it will be a waste of time."

Li Fu glanced at the crutch in the young man's hand and nodded in agreement.

When he finished everything and returned to the study room, Emperor Shao was still full of anger and wanted to tear Shen Wucheng to pieces.

Li Fu glanced at Shao Huang cautiously, wondering whether or not to tell him that Xin Huiyuan resembled the young Marquis Qi Xuan.

"What are you looking at!" Shao Huang's anger suddenly shifted: "If you look at it again, I'll gouge out your eyes!"

Li Fu shrank himself into a quail on the spot and did not dare to take a breath.

Another seven days later, Wu or Bei received the urgent document.

He read the drawings carefully and then the letter. His eyes lit up and he ordered: "Quick! Just do this!"

It turned out that Yu An had drawn up a thorough support system on the drawings. The principle was very simple, which was to support seventy stone piers in the soft soil layer between the bedrock and the granary.

The difficulty is that Yu An needs to make careful calculations and make detailed markings to ensure that the sequence and position during the construction process will not cause damage to the granary.

As for the location of the quarry, Yu An attached a map in his mind, marking Shuanghe Mountain a few kilometers away.

Shuanghe Mountain is a short and inconspicuous rock mountain, but due to climate effects and year-round weathering evolution, the rocks at the foot of the mountain are large and easy to mine, which is perfect.

Half a month later, after day and night construction, the granary finally stopped sinking and tilting.

In the end, it only sank about a foot lower than before, which was the best result.

After the matter was resolved, the group of people didn't even have time to rest and hurried back.

This is what beat workers are like, especially those from the Ministry of Works.

Shen Wuzhen was so flustered that he had been helping with miscellaneous things for the past half month, praying to leave a good impression on Wu or Bei and return to Kyoto to intercede with him.

However, he never waited for this opportunity.

Because as soon as he arrived in Kyoto, he was taken away.

He was taken away on the same day and beheaded on the same day.

If you ask what the crime is, it is naturally the crime of deceiving the emperor.

On the same day, Emperor Shao issued an imperial decree and appointed Yu An as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which caused an uproar in the court.

Generally, the allocation of officials is coordinated by the Ministry of Personnel and then sorted out and stamped by His Majesty.

It's really unusual for His Majesty to directly override his rank and issue an order.

What's more, Yu An himself is an Imperial College student, which is simply unique.

Li Fu took the imperial edict and happily came to the Ministry of Works to find Yu An, but when he saw Yu An, he was not happy.

Because Yu An's legs and feet were not good, he stood to receive the order.

And because Yu An couldn't live without his crutch, he took orders with one hand.

Li Fu straightened up his back hard enough to reach Yu An's shoulders. Such a comparison made him suffocate.

Except in front of His Majesty, when has our family ever suffered such grievances?

The next second, Yu An took out a Penghai black pearl from his arms, stuffed it into Li Fu's hand and said, "I have some inconvenience on my legs and feet, but I would like to thank you for your kindness."

This is a priceless treasure, but it looks familiar. Li Fu happily took it, and the unhappiness in his heart suddenly disappeared.

He narrowed his eyes with a smile and said kindly: "It's all trivial matters. If you work hard, Mr. Yu, your future will be limitless."

After he finished speaking, he left. After taking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped and ran back again.

Because he remembered that this Penghai Black Pearl was not the same as the hairpin gift he had chosen for His Majesty to give to the Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Palace?

Li Fu asked cautiously: "Master Yu, who are you and Miss Yun?"

Yu An said: "We are husband and wife."

"This, this, this" Li Fu stuttered again, and it took him a long time to recover.

He said: "You are indeed a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."

Unexpectedly, these two famous celebrities in Kyoto are actually husband and wife.

After Li Fu left, Yu An felt a little relieved.

Ever since Yunyao participated in the poetry meeting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were always people writing to her in the name of discussing poetry. Although he intercepted them all, he just felt unhappy.

This time he finally got the chance to tell the world.
