Chapter 194 Teaching
"What's wrong, Princess? Why are you silent? Are you born to be quiet?"

Mogu pressed.

He just wanted to see Ji Chenxing make a fool of himself.

Mo Gu glanced at Jun Heng and saw that Jun Heng's expression was not very natural either.

Jun Heng hadn't considered this, had he? Mo Gu laughed secretly in his heart.

What is going on in Daliang? All the civil and military officials in the court were deceived by a little girl like Ji Chenxing. It's really funny.

However, doesn’t this also mean that those idiots in Daliang have no strength at all and can take it down with just a random attack?
Mo Gu was still immersed in his own thoughts, but unexpectedly Ji Chenxing suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, Lord Mo is right, the terrain of our Daliang is indeed low in the south and high in the north.

"But there are many things in this world that we only know one side of, but not the other. How does Lord Mo know that he is not one of them?"

Ji Chenxing's voice rose, instantly suppressing Mo Gu's arrogance.

But soon, Mogu realized that he should not be afraid of the little girl Ji Chenxing!

"Then could you please teach me, my Lord, how does the water flow from the south to the north?"

Mo Gu's original intention was to embarrass Ji Chenxing to see if Ji Chenxing could really explain it.

But unexpectedly, Ji Chenxing suddenly showed a face full of contempt and disgust.

It seemed to be saying: "You are a bunch of small country people, you don't even know this. I can tell at a glance that you have never studied geography, and yet you have the nerve to come here and ask me."

Under Ji Chenxing's gaze, even someone as confident as Mo Gu felt a little inferior.

Fortunately, Ji Chenxing's gaze did not last long.

"Master Mo, I wonder if you have noticed that this river used for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, although it spans north and south, is not a straight river. Instead, it makes several bends here, here, and here."

As Ji Chenxing spoke, he pointed at the big river on the map.

Her voice was loud, as if it was not for answering Mogu, but for teaching everyone present.

"I saw it, so what?"

Mogu actually noticed the twists and turns in the river early on, but he thought that Ji Chenxing drew it like that in order to make the river seem difficult to design.

Ji Chenxing smiled gently: "Master Mo, this is the answer to the question you asked me, how water flows from low places to high places."

Looking at Mogu's confused expression, Ji Chenxing knew that he had been frightened by him.

But what Ji Chenxing said was not false. This river was designed for Daliang by her geography teacher, a highly respected old professor.

The ancient people like Mogu had never studied geography, so of course they could be scared by just picking out a random reason.

The story that Ji Chenxing was going to sing today was the Empty City Strategy, so naturally he had to explain it in a way that Mo Gu couldn't understand. It would be best if he could make it as mysterious as possible so that he wouldn't be able to understand it from beginning to end.

"Lord Mo, you don't understand this." Ji Chenxing continued to attack Mo Gu's self-confidence with words, and then unfolded his map.

"Look at this place. The terrain here is a little different from other places. I drew this symbol to mark it..."

Ji Chenxing talked about the differences between the north and the south, the warm and cold currents, and the weather reasons and climate types...

Ji Chenxing tirelessly told Mogu all the basic knowledge he had learned. Mogu thought he was a well-informed person, but under the "torture" of Ji Chenxing's knowledge, Mogu felt dizzy and it seemed that he would faint if he heard one more word.

"So, it is because of these reasons that this river allows water to flow from low places to high places. Do you understand, Lord Mo?"

Ji Chenxing asked softly.

Mogu shook his head, "I understand..."

How could he understand? The more he listened, the more mysterious it became. It seemed that what Ji Chenxing was talking about was not on the same level as his own world.

But he also vaguely felt that there was some truth in what Ji Chenxing said. At least, what Ji Chenxing said was right as far as he could understand.

As for the subtropical monsoon, the earth's rotation, and the eight planets in the solar system... Mogu's mind was just a mess.

In his opinion, this river is no longer just a river for diverting water from the south to the north, but a river that can absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It is as if people can achieve immortality by drinking a sip of its water.

Ji Chenxing also noticed that Mo Gu's expression was not natural, and asked with some concern: "Did Lord Mo really understand? If not, I will explain it to Lord Mo again."

Ji Chenxing acted like a teacher, "After all, Master Mo came to Daliang to exchange and learn how to control floods!"

But Mogu really didn't want to listen anymore. Facing Ji Chenxing's eyes that looked like he was looking at a monkey, Mogu defended himself by saying, "I understand. I really understand!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but think in his heart: It is said that Daliang has a very rich cultural heritage, has it really been rich to this extent?

So should we attack Daliang?

Seeing Ji Chenxing making things difficult for Mo Gu, Jun Heng couldn't help but laugh.

But at the same time, Jun Heng also realized that there are really many things to learn from Ji Chenxing.

If everyone can learn what Ji Chenxing knows, other countries will never be able to match Daliang's national strength.

"The princess spoke very well." Jun Heng said, "You have put a lot of knowledge to use. This is what our Daliang's ministers should do! Pass on my decree. Princess Xihe has made a lot of contributions to the friendly exchanges between Daliang and Zhou, and she will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Faced with such a reward, Ji Chenxing's expression did not show any unexpected surprise, as if he was already accustomed to it.

Mogu's face turned green.

Even when floods were rampant, Jun Heng was still able to offer such generous rewards. It seems that Daliang's national strength is really strong.

Jun Heng, however, did not feel the slightest bit disgusted by Ji Chenxing's attitude; instead, he found it very useful.

"My princess, you must be tired after explaining so much. Sit down and take a rest. Come on, continue the music and the dance!"

Jun Heng really looks like a tyrant ruler who has no ability at all, can only listen to singing and dancing, and relies on his ministers for everything.

Amid the sound of stringed instruments, Mogu forced himself to calm down.

He just didn't believe that Daliang was really so solid.

Moreover, floods are not ordinary events, and there is a lot of profit to be made from them.

Even if the meat eaters above do a good job, can they guarantee that the people below will not be greedy? Even if Ji Chenxing's river is well planned, it has not been dug out yet, so won't the hungry people still starve to death?
The time for a piece of music passed quickly, and Mogu also found a new reason.

As soon as the singing and dancing stopped, Mogu asked again:
"The river you've dug is indeed ingenious, but it also requires a lot of manpower and will take hundreds of years to complete. However, disaster relief is imminent. How can you guarantee that before this river is dug out, most of the people won't be killed or injured?"
