Chapter 721 It's Really Me!

Qiu Ming looked at the wine bowl in front of him. Yu just said to drink some turbid wine, but he didn't expect it to be really turbid wine, with a filtration process obviously missing.

I picked it up and tasted it. It tasted pretty good, a bit sweet and sour, it should be fruit wine, and it also has some spiritual power inside, which is definitely very nourishing for ordinary people to drink, but Qiu Ming said it can only be used as a drink to quench his thirst.

There are only two ways to make those wild game. One is roast, with some grass juice and salt on it. The meat tastes a bit fishy, ​​but it's a pity that this is a good wild boar leg.

Another type is to cook it, put it in a clay pot, and some grass leaves are used as seasonings. The taste of the cooking is also not very good.

At first glance, Qiu Ming chose to eat vegetarian food, some raw wild fruits and vegetables, at least the taste would not be too strange.

Seeing that Qiu Ming hadn't eaten much, Yu was even more sure that Qiu Ming should have come from a large tribe and thought that the taste at home was not good enough.

After returning home, Qiu Ming asked Xiaoqian to get some food to make a tooth-beating sacrifice and ate those bad foods, which made him very unhappy.

It was also at this time that Emperor Shun was discussing with the ministers in the palace that the flood could not be cured, but who should be sent? Ministers, look at me, and I look at you, and no one dared to take the initiative to ask for his orders.

The method of Yu's father Gun's flood control was the best way they could think of, but as a result, there was a lot of manpower and material resources, but the flood broke out every year, and Gun was exiled and died in a foreign land.

"Everyone thinks that whoever can cure floods is a great achievement. All the people in the world will thank him. I can even allow the people to build a temple for him!"

If a temple is built, then this person's prestige among the people will rise sharply, and he will have hope of inheriting the position of Emperor Shun in the future. However, those who can do this position are the support of the people, of course, what they need most is the support of the people.

But since Emperor Shun gave such good conditions, whoever failed to cure the flood after receiving the order may have the result of being even worse than Gun.

Two ministers looked at each other. Isn’t Gun’s son famous once? He also learned to deal with floods with Gun. Why would he use him? Gun was exiled because of their complaints. If Yu could be killed this time, they would be able to rest assured.

What if Yu happened to cure the flood? Then they could also be known as recommending wise ministers, which would also make Yu grateful to them and not suffer any losses, not to mention that they were sent to cure the flood.

"Wang, I recommend Yu to control the flood. Yu is Gun's son. He grew up by the water since he was a child and has his own opinions on controlling floods. He is also humble, polite, simple and serious in life, and can definitely cure floods." Bo Yi stood up and said.

Hou Ji also stood up immediately: "I also think Yu is very suitable. Yu has been smart since childhood, and his virtue and ability are above Gun. What's more, he is a descendant of Emperor Huang. He will definitely cherish this meeting the king gave him."

Bo Yi almost used up all the words that could be praised, but Hou Ji took out Gun to compare and asked Emperor Shun to agree to send Yu to control the flood.

When the other ministers saw that these two said this, they immediately understood and then reviewed and jointly recommended Yu to take on the important task. Anyway, just don't give them such work. No one wants to run all over the world. It's so comfortable to stay at home.

"Okay, then I'll be appointed to control the flood. But Yu was young after all, Bo Yi and Hou Ji, two wise ministers, you will assist Yu in controlling the flood together and help allocate manpower and material resources."

Boyi and Hou Ji never expected that they could not escape the chore of water control. In their minds, this chore was definitely thankless.

But Emperor Shun had already issued an order, and no other ministers were talking to them at this time. What else could they do? If someone else was named, the two of them would definitely not say anything, so as not to take this matter to themselves.

...

Yu was in a good mood when he was newly married. He had a good wife at home. He had the strength to farm and hunt, so he didn't have to worry about his life at home.

But he still goes to the river every day, as if the water has risen again in the past two days. If this continues, there will definitely be flooding again this year.

I don’t know if anyone came to manage it. Since my father was exiled, it seems that this matter has been hanging. Although Emperor Shun did a very good job in the development of farming, if the flood was not managed and the crops were always flooded, everyone’s life would not be much improved.

A man rode a horse and rushed over: "Yu, go home quickly. Two adults came over and said they had something to do with you."

Yu ran home and was thinking along the way, what were the two adults doing when they came to his house? When he saw that he knew these two people, he used to assist his father in controlling water.

"Yu, the king ordered you to take over your father to manage the floods in the world. Don't let the king down. If you need it, just speak up and we will find it for you. There will definitely be no floods this year!" Bo Yi looked at Yu, and was also wary of his heart. Yu would not suddenly start to move at them. After all, Gun's exile was also related to them.

As long as there is no flooding this year, even if the two of them make a contribution, they can find someone to replace their chores. If such a big flooding occurs this year, they will be in danger. Yu is unlikely to be exiled so quickly, at least one of them will be responsible for it.

Yu was shocked. Wang actually ordered him to deal with the flood. Is this true?

My father had told him before being exiled that he regretted not being able to cure the flood and let people continue to suffer. He hoped that he could inherit this matter in the future and cure the flood.

At that time, he thought he would not have this ability, and even thought that if he continued to manage floods, even if he was a civilian, he would join in and fulfill his father's last wish.

But now he became the person in charge of this matter, which made him ecstatic: "I will definitely not let down the king's trust, and I will definitely try my best to cure the flood and prevent people from suffering."

"Okay, you can prepare and go see the king with us right away."

Unexpectedly, Yu's lips moved so quickly. He wanted to tell Bo Yi that he had just married three days ago. But he could not refuse.

"Okay, but I need to prepare it before leaving."

Bo Yi thought Yu was going to say goodbye to his wife, so he nodded: "Hurry up, don't let Wang Jiu wait."

But I didn't know that Yu didn't say anything to his wife, but ran out and ran to a mound not far from his home.

"Brother Qiu Ming, Brother Qiu Ming, are you at home? The king ordered me to go to control the water. I need your help!"
