Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Chapter 444 Drawings

Li Mengyue, who was about to explain the plan in detail to Xie Ruiyuan and Yang Zhijin, finally felt that something was wrong after listening to their conversation.

Drawings, and more drawings.

Before building the reservoir, she convened a meeting of seven village heads and took out a map of Qingshan Town.

She still clearly remembered that when the seven village heads saw the blueprints, their eyes widened and they couldn't believe what they saw.

She didn't care much about it at the time. She thought it was just a drawing and not a very precious thing, so she didn't take it too seriously.

Instead, he asked several village chiefs to focus their attention on the back mountain of Xinghua Village and told them that a reservoir should be built there and what to do next.

But now she took out a map of Qingshan Prefecture, which shocked Xie Ruiyuan and Yang Zhijin again.

What's not clear? It seems there is something wrong with the map she drew.

But it can’t be said that there is a problem. It’s just that when she drew the map, she used the sketching skills mastered by later generations.

No matter the mountains, rivers, villages or towns, all were reduced in size according to a certain proportion, so that all the undulations of the mountains could be depicted clearly.

The key is that she also used plants and petals to mix colors, making the drawings colorful, which makes them clearer and more intuitive at first glance.

She knew that the maps of this era were not simple compared to those of later generations, but were too crude.

You have to know that a river is a line and the small triangles are mountains and rivers. The disadvantages of a map drawn in this way should not be too obvious on the battlefield.

"Ms. Li... Miss Li, who drew this picture?"

"I."

"Miss Li, are you joking?"

"Zhi Jin, what are you talking about? How can you doubt A Yue?"

"Ruiyuan, it's not that I doubt Miss Li, it's just that this blueprint is too important, and you don't know it clearly."

Xie Ruiyuan certainly knew that since ancient times, the battle situation during marching and fighting has always changed rapidly, and whether the entire battle can be won is closely related to the information brought by the scouts.

The scouts in his army had all undergone rigorous training, but even so, the information they brought back was not as clear as on this blueprint.

If he knew the battle site of the enemy and us in advance during the march deployment, and he had a detailed map in his hand, he could arrange the troops in the battle site in advance and achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost.

But even if he knew the importance of the drawings, he would not force Li Mengyue as long as she was unwilling.

Yang Zhijin looked at Xie Ruiyuan's expression and of course knew what he was thinking, but he really didn't want to give up, so he said to Li Mengyue.

"Miss Li, this is the first time I've seen this kind of map since I was a child. If this kind of map is used in the military, the general can deploy in advance and reduce our casualties."

"Ah."

Li Mengyue took out the map of Qingshan Prefecture in order to determine where to dig the river and where to build the reservoir, rather than discussing the blueprint.

Yang Zhijin originally thought that Li Mengyue could say something else, but in the end she just said "hmm", which left him speechless.

But he still insisted on explaining it clearly.

"Miss Li, do you know that this kind of blueprint is equivalent to a strategic weapon? When fighting with the enemy, being able to anticipate the enemy's advance definitely means that you have the initiative and can truly attack or defend."

Li Mengyue felt that time was very tight and really didn't want to waste her precious time on a drawing.

However, she really didn't expect that the sketching she learned to pass the time would be valued so much by Yang Zhijin and would be used in military affairs, which made her a little confused.

Of course, she knew that Yang Zhijin was concerned about the country and the people and had no bad intentions, so she was willing to say a few more words.

But now she still had to shift the topic to Qingshan Prefecture on the blueprint.

"Lord Yang, this is nothing. Let's hurry up and discuss how to smoothly launch the water conservancy project in the entire Qingshan Prefecture in a short period of time, put all the refugees into it, let them be self-reliant, and truly achieve a virtuous cycle, so as not to cause greater disasters."

Yang Zhijin wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xie Ruiyuan.

At this time he also realized that he had overreacted, but it was not his fault. It was the first time in his life that he had seen such a method, so how could he not be excited.

But when he saw that Xie Ruiyuan was so calm and unperturbed, he couldn't help but admire him.

In fact, Xie Ruiyuan was far from being as calm as he appeared, and he was still quite upset.

The greater the ability Li Mengyue demonstrated, the more worried he became. He was afraid that Li Mengyue's progress was too fast and would attract the attention of more interested people.

After all, as a member of the royal family, he knows some things very well. As long as it involves the national level, the meaning is very different.

The imperial family is the most ruthless. This is not just a casual statement. There is also a saying that all under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects. As long as the court needs it, everyone must give up what they have, otherwise there will be only one outcome, and that is death without a burial place.

But he didn't want Li Mengyue's life to be threatened in this way. To be honest, although he was a prince, he was not obsessed with the throne. No matter whether the eldest prince or the second prince ascended the throne, he would lead the troops to guard the border and not let the enemy set foot in the Great Zhou.

But just because he thought so didn't mean that the people of the First Prince and the Second Prince's faction also thought so. For many years, what they had been doing was to find ways to get rid of him.

But he is not someone you can easily mess with. He never took the initiative to attack before, but was just passively defending himself because he felt that life was boring and it would be nice to play with them.

But things are unpredictable, and many things do not go according to his wishes, such as when he met Li Mengyue due to someone's scheme, and then he had a one-night stand with Li Mengyue.

Originally, even though he sent out secret guards to search and asked people from the Palace of Hades to get involved, they still couldn't find out who the woman was that night.

As a result, when he came to Banyue Villa to recuperate, he accidentally found Li Mengyue. Later, after confirmation by him, Li Mengyue was the woman that night.

When he found out that he was being raped, he was so angry that he wanted to tear the man into pieces immediately.

As a result, after they really found the person, they no longer had the original emotion of killing the person and not getting married. Instead, they couldn't stand seeing Li Mengyue laughing and joking with other men.

At that time, he discovered that his thoughts about Li Mengyue had changed, but he did not want to stop that change, so he let it develop freely.

Until he found out that Li Mengyue was pregnant with his child, things became out of control and his possessiveness towards Li Mengyue became stronger and stronger.

Even with his tacit consent, his subordinates had already respected Li Mengyue as the hostess and called her the princess.
