None of the officials would have thought of this.
The extraordinary person they were looking forward to was just a young man.
Beneath his handsome appearance, there was a young face that looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The ministers could no longer remain calm.
Their first reaction was to wonder if Li Shiming was making fun of them.
He had specially found a youth to play with them.
However, on second thought. This possibility was too low. Although Li Shiming was young, he had always been more mature than his peers. It was impossible for him to do such a thing.
However, it was hard for them to accept that the person who came up with the flood control strategy was actually a youth.
What he thought was that the person who could come up with such a perfect plan was definitely an old and wise person.
He had no experience or understanding of life.
How could he think of such a brilliant plan?
They had been facing the flood for so long, but they had not come up with any effective solutions.
In the end, a young man managed to do it?
He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. This was almost impossible.
He was afraid that this plan was not thought of by him. It was more like plagiarism.
Wei Zheng's expression was extremely strange. He had been thinking about it before Lu Yan came. Facing such a person, he could not help but admire him.
No matter what, he was about the same age as him, or perhaps he was at the age of knowing his destiny.
Just in time to invite you to drink and talk. Perhaps they would benefit greatly and become close friends.
Now, he was allowed to drink with a youth and become friends regardless of age.
He couldn't stand it when he thought of that scene.
Wei Zheng was originally an extremely old-fashioned person. He had a clear distinction between good and evil. Everything had principles that could not be violated.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have pointed at Li Shi Min and scolded him in the Imperial Court.
How could he tolerate such overstepping behavior?
The atmosphere in the hall. It immediately became a little subtle.
All the officials had different expressions on their faces. Their gazes fell on Lu Yan, and no one knew what they were thinking about.
Lu Yan's expression did not change in the face of such a situation. He remained calm.
Without caring about anything else, he stepped forward and arrived at the center.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Lu Yan bowed. His voice was powerful and full of energy.
Wei Zheng's expression softened slightly.
At least in front of the officials and Li Shiming, he was able to maintain such a calm demeanor at such a young age.
It was difficult for ordinary people to do so.
This young man…However, there were some things that might really be unique.
"No need to be polite. I asked you to come today because I have something to deal with.”
Li Shi Min waved his hand and went straight to the point. He repeated what the assistant minister had said today.
Then, he looked at Lu Yan.”
As soon as he said this, the hall instantly fell silent.
All the officials wanted to see if Lu Yan could come up with any ideas and if he really possessed such a genius.
Lu Yan pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth and said,"This matter…It's not difficult to solve it."
The hall was instantly in an uproar.
The officials all frowned as they looked at the youth before them.
He wasn't young, but his tone wasn't small.
Each of them was able to stand here because they relied on their true talents. Without some ability, how could they be qualified for official positions?
After brainstorming, they were helpless.
He thought for a moment and already had an answer. How was this possible?
Even if he was the one who proposed the flood plan, he would need to think about it day and night.
Especially the matter of the refugees, a slight change would affect the whole situation.
How could it be that simple?
It involved human nature, and it was extremely difficult to resolve it.
Yet, he spoke arrogantly. Where did his ability come from?
The suspicion in his heart grew. It was impossible for him to be the one who came up with the plan. It was more like he stole it from somewhere else and was therefore complacent and arrogant.
"Oh?"
Li Shiming raised his eyebrows. He did not doubt the authenticity of Lu Yan's words.
It was precisely because he had seen it before that he was so confident.
Li Shi Min glanced at the officials. How could he not know what they were thinking?
He immediately sneered and did not call out names.
Just nice. He wanted to let these people see what it meant to look down on someone because of their age.
This group of ministers were too stable in their positions.
Not only were they proud and arrogant, but they also felt that their talents were outstanding.
Every morning court session, he would be criticized by everyone just because they were the children of aristocratic families. They had been living a luxurious life since they were young. Which one of them was willing to admit defeat?
It was about time someone reminded them.
It seemed that the monopoly of aristocratic families was not a good thing. Among the ministers in the court, 90 out of 100 came from aristocratic families.
Only the imperial examination could select the talents he needed.
Lu Yan was an example.
Imperial examinations. The most important thing was that they would not hesitate even if it would shake the cake of the aristocratic families.
If the Great Tang wanted to develop, people had to be sacrificed.
How could he not understand this principle?
"What do you think?"
Li Shi Min asked.
Lu Yan looked at the civil and military officials in the distance. His expression did not change at all. After a moment, he said,"The reason why the refugees are so cunning is because they have no sense of belonging to the local area. To them, building ditches was just a matter of food and clothing, no matter how much. They could only get the same food, so they naturally could not be motivated.”
Many of the officials snorted coldly. They all understood this logic. Did they need him to remind them?
He only felt that other than his handsome appearance, there was nothing special about this youth.
He became more and more certain that Lu Yan was definitely pretending to be a fake. How could he have real talent?
Lu Yan did not care about that and said,"If I continue to slack off like this, I'm afraid that the ditch won't be completed in ten years. The conflict with the local villagers would also increase, and in the end, there would be no way to resolve it.”
"But there are too many refugees, and we can't keep an eye on them. The only way to solve this situation was to let them manage themselves!”
"Managing yourself?"
Li Shi Min was confused.
Many of the officials couldn't help but laugh.
The more he spoke, the more absurd it became. They wanted to see how this youth was going to make things right today.
Once they were exposed, they would not show mercy.
