Chapter 76 Helping Brother-in-Law Upgrade

"It's indeed good." Xiao Yi said with great certainty.

Su Zhiyuan cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yi raised his hand slightly, showing an aristocratic air in his movements.

"Your method is indeed good, but have you ever thought about how to deal with the manpower and material resources required in this case?" Xiao Yi suddenly asked.

You must know that the south is mainly agricultural and is not very wealthy. To do this well, the manpower and material resources required are immeasurable.

This sentence awakened Su Zhiyuan. Su Zhiyuan frowned. Xiao Yi's words undoubtedly pulled him out of his fantasy.

Yes, he only thought about how to solve it, but what about the cost and manpower of the solution.

"Perhaps we can start from the local area, what do you think?" Xiao Yi continued. Such words seemed to be enlightening. Su Zhiyuan suddenly thought of it and his eyes lit up.

"Yes, we can make use of local people, and it may not even require the court to pay too much. This solves the problem and does not require a lot of funding."

Xiao Yi nodded. Su Zhiyuan looked at Xiao Yi with a little more admiration, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the suggestion."

Xiao Yi didn't care much: "It's okay. If you can think of this, it's already pretty good."

Su Zhiyuan said very humbly: "Your Majesty, thank you for the award. I just read more relevant books than others and learned more about it."

Xiao Yi curled his lips slightly: "That's good enough. After all, others don't think as far as you do."

Su Zhiyuan said nothing, Xiao Yi said: "I have to leave beforehand."

Su Zhiyuan cupped his hands and said, "I respectfully send you off to the prince."

Xiao Yi left. After Su Zhiyuan saw off Xiao Yi, he returned to the Su Mansion without stopping and quickly discussed the matter with his father.

After returning to the Su Mansion, Su Zhiyuan learned that just today, the emperor had handed over the matter to Su Zhong to resolve, and it was proposed by the prime minister.

Su Zhiyuan felt that Xiang Qun was uneasy and well-intentioned, but fortunately he had thought of a good method and with the regent's guidance, he believed that the flood disaster would be solved well this time.

So Su Zhiyuan told Su Zhong his idea without hesitation. Su Zhong was very surprised when he heard this: "It's really a good idea. Yuan'er, you have helped my father a lot this time."

Su Zhong was so happy to have found such a good method that he even smiled from ear to ear during dinner.

Su Zhong told the emperor about the matter the next day, and the emperor agreed and thought this method was very good. Su Zhiyuan was promoted as a result.

Su Zhiyuan refused at first, because this method was not entirely his idea, and there were suggestions from the regent, but the emperor still said that he had contributed a lot, and in the end Su Zhiyuan was promoted to the fourth rank.

And this incident also made those who regarded Su Mansion as a thorn in their side even more angry and panicked.

Especially the people from the third prince's side.

······

"Su Zhiyuan was promoted to a higher rank!" The third prince Xiao Zhengyuan threw the tea cup out of his hand. The tea cup broke into pieces and made a harsh sound, and the tea splashed everywhere.

"What's going on with Su Yiyang?" The third prince looked at Gu Mingchen beside him.

Gu Mingchen took a sip of tea and said, "We are already working on it."

"This time we can only succeed and not fail. If we fail, the power of the Su family cannot be underestimated, and by then the crown prince's support will only grow stronger." Xiao Zhengyuan said with a gloomy look.

Gu Mingchen said: "This is natural."

Gu Mingchen did not think about Su Zhiyuan's promotion, nor did he hear Su Wan'er tell him, so he really missed this step.

Now we can only be more careful about Su Yiyang, and we must prevent Su Yiyang from participating in the martial arts test, otherwise it will only be more difficult in the future.

"The prince seems to be choosing a concubine recently, right?" Gu Mingchen suddenly asked.

The prince and the eldest princess are both sons of the queen. They are twins. They are both sixteen this year and have reached the age to choose a concubine.

The third prince said: "Well, in one month, that is, after the martial arts test is over, the concubine will be selected." Then he looked at Gu Mingchen: "Is there anything you can do?"

Gu Mingchen curled his lips and revealed a sinister smile: "Of course there are ways, but we still need the cooperation of my third brother."

Xiao Zhengyuan felt a little uncomfortable. Every time Gu Mingchen called his third brother, he always felt that Gu Mingchen was lowering his status.

He is an upright prince, and he is just a little prince. What qualifications do he have to call himself a brother? However, since the plan has not been completed, Xiao Zhengyuan can only endure this discomfort.

"Cousin, please tell me." Xiao Zhengyuan said, hiding the disdain in his heart.

Gu Mingchen came close to Xiao Zhengyuan's ear and whispered. After Xiao Zhengyuan heard this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"My cousin's move is really wonderful." Xiao Zhengyuan said with excitement, and at the same time he was a little wary of Gu Mingchen. With such viciousness, I am afraid that Gu Mingchen will not be able to stay after the plan is successful.

"It's my honor to be able to help my cousin." Gu Mingchen said, with a dark light flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Zhengyuan raised his hand and patted Gu Mingchen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, cousin, if I succeed, I will definitely not forget you."

Gu Mingchen cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll thank my cousin first."

After Xiao Zhengyuan sent Gu Mingchen away, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace. Xiao Zhengyuan waved to summon a man in black.

The man in black knelt down in front of Xiao Zhengyuan.

Xiao Zhengyuan whispered a few instructions to the man in black, and the man in black cupped his hands and left.

······

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at Liu Yayi’s hair-raising ceremony.

"You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." As soon as Liu Yayi saw Su Qianqian, she pulled Su Qianqian to her side and said.

Liu Yayi was still dressing up. She ordered the servants in the house to bring Su Qianqian directly to her yard when they saw what she said.

Su Qianqian was dressed very simply today, wearing a water-blue skirt and a white long-sleeved shirt.

But even so, she can't stop her amazing beauty. Even with only light makeup, she is eye-catching.

But Liu Yayi didn't care about this. She liked such a beautiful Su Qianqian, and even felt that Su Qianqian's clothes were too elegant.

"Why are you dressed so elegantly today?" The regent is coming today.

Su Qianqian felt ashamed: "Others are afraid of being robbed of the limelight, but why do you dislike me for wearing so elegant a dress?"

Liu Yayi didn't care much: "What's the matter? I'd rather you wear something more colorful."

"Okay, you are the protagonist today. If I wear something gorgeous, others will be speechless." Su Qianqian said.

Liu Yayi pursed her lips: "Okay, then come and help me see which one is better for me."
