Chapter 81 The Jiangnan Flood
Mrs. Chen: "..."

Where did this evil ghost come from, take it away quickly!

The old lady hadn't seen her granddaughter for a long time, and she missed her for a long time, but she was extremely arrogant on her face.

"Hey! It seems that our daughters who have gone out of the family have completely lost their status at home. Now that our ancestors have a great-grandson and a new sister-in-law, they don't even want to look at me too much."

Chen Fulin deliberately sighed.

The old lady finally couldn't help laughing and cursing: "You bastard! You arrange your third sister-in-law on the big day, and I won't tear your mouth!"

All of a sudden, there was a lot of laughter in the room.

Mother Chen took the opportunity to back out.

The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed.

She said to the nanny beside her, "Look? Besides Flynn, who else can make the old lady so happy?"

Even Guilin, who is as lively as Fulin, can't do it.

Don't look at the old lady who is happy to see a few grandchildren, but she still misses her granddaughter in her heart.

The old mother also agreed: "Our girl is a good girl, and everyone in the family is considerate."

The master and the old lady love the girl because she is their child.

But the relationship between the four young masters and young ladies is the most exciting.

People are all mutual.

The Chen family has a good family style.

You can teach the juniors who come out to walk the right way, but you can't teach such a deep brother-sister relationship.

Looking at the entire Dajing, regardless of the humble family, it is the family of ordinary people, and there is still some friction between brothers and sisters.

For family property, for love, for various reasons.

But these did not exist in the Chen family.

Chen's father and Chen's mother did not treat any child more favorably because of which one was better, even the daughter could read and read like a man.

Before Chen Fulin was 13 years old, she would pretend to be her fourth brother and be taken by Chen's side for a walk. It was not until she was older that she feared that her reputation would be ruined.

Parents teach by precepts and deeds, and brothers are sensible.

However, the girl did not feel proud of being favored, but was more considerate of her family.

So come and go, heart for heart.

That's why the Chen family is twisted into one rope and prospers the family today.

***

After the Dragon Boat Festival.

The Changyuan River Basin has entered the rainy season of the new year.

In less than a month, the news that three dams on the lower reaches of the Changyuan River had burst was rushed to Shangjing.

The Changyuan River starts from the Aganna Mountains in Liangzhou in the west, ends in the East China Sea in winter, and runs through the hinterland of Dajing.

The water system in the basin is developed and the tributaries are abundant.

Especially in the lower reaches of Jingyangzhou and Xuzhou, the river flows through this place, also known as the "Yangtze River", forming thousands of miles of fertile fields, which are divided into Jiangbei Road and Jiangnan Road.

There are three extremely important dams along the Changyuan River, which are located at the junction of Jingyangzhou, Yangzhou, and the junction of Yangzhou and Xuzhou. There are countless other small and medium-sized dams.

Once these three dams break, the pressure on the downstream and other dams in the tributaries will suddenly increase, and the eastern part of Jingzhou, the whole of Yangzhou, and the southern part of Xuzhou will suffer from floods in the basin.

Among them, the Jiangnan area south of the Yangtze River is the most severe.

Now it is the Guliang Dam at the junction of Jingyang and Yangzhou that has broken the embankment, and the two downstream dams are also in danger.

In addition, this season is the golden period of rice growth, and there will be no harvest after the disaster!
North Korea and China were very anxious to get angry because of this matter.

Once it is not handled properly, the failure of the grain harvest is a small matter, but the lives of people after the disaster are at stake.

It may even cause famines, plagues, riots...

"It's only been a few years since I allocated funds to repair the embankment every year?"

"It's only been a few years? Did it burst?"

It was rare for the good-tempered emperor to blow his beard and stare in anger.

"Your Majesty, the rainy season in Jiangnan and Jiangbei has lasted for two months and has not stopped. The most urgent task is to settle the victims, dredge the river, and avoid causing more disasters. The Jingyang and Xu Sanzhous are in danger!"

Master Zheng of Zhongshu Province has also turned gray hair in the past few days.

If he hadn't been able to go to Jiangnan in person, he would have killed him long ago.

There was a daily report from the three states, all of which were crying about how serious the disaster was, and praying for the court to provide quick relief.

They are angry and anxious.

What made him angry was that the entire Jingyang and Xu Sanzhou governors were collectively disabled in the face of the disaster. They only knew how to seek help from the imperial court as they watched the disaster victims spread across the fields.

Those who are worried are the people who have been affected by the disaster.

The emperor calmed down the anger in his heart, "What Zheng Aiqing said is very true, order the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Household Affairs to calculate the national treasury as soon as possible, and come up with a charter."

"Also, the imperial court will definitely send people to Jiangnan to manage disaster relief matters. Who would like to go?"

In addition to the regular officials of various bureaucrats from the Xiaochaohui, there were Xiao Yuanzheng from the imperial hospital, King Yi, King Jing and others present today.

The two princes have been crowned kings and can participate in government affairs.

His Royal Highness Yi Wang is in the Ministry of Industry, although it is an idle job, but it involves river and water conservancy, which makes him feel moved at this time.

Isn't this just the job of the Ministry of Industry?

However, disaster relief is not only about repairing dams, but also comforting victims, distributing supplies, post-disaster reconstruction and so on.

In this way, he will spend a long time in Jiangnan...

In particular, he had vaguely heard that the Governor of Jingzhou was still a disciple of Uncle Guo.

It is true that if this matter is done well, it will win the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, but what if it is not done well?

And it's very likely.

King Yi was hesitating, and the crown prince and King Jing came out at the same time.

"My son is willing to go!"

King Yi: "..."

That makes him look out of place.

So Yi Wang also stood up, "Father, my son and minister are also willing to go."

Others did not compete with these three, it is true that in the face of a catastrophe, if there are royal children, especially the crown prince, many things can often be done with half the effort.

At least, it is easier to appease the people.

The emperor looked at King Jing, who was the youngest, a little surprised,
"Then tell me, if you go to Jiangnan, what should you do?"

The prince didn't think much about it, it was probably because his father wanted to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to test his youngest son on a whim.

King Ke Yi didn't know, he thought that his father wanted to hand over this matter to King Jing.

Especially at the New Year's Eve banquet, he also married Li's daughter to King Jing, and asked King Jing to go to the Ministry of Households after a year.

But he went to a Ministry of Industry without any real power!
Yi Wang said that he accepted incompetence.

It's okay to be inferior to the prince who is the son of the eldest son, even King Jing, who has no hair on his head, is more important than him.

Father actually still wants him to go to the south of the Yangtze River? !
His Majesty the Emperor: Congratulations, you got the answer right, but there is no reward.

Qin Hong stood tall and tall, and replied neither humble nor overbearing:
"As Mr. Zheng said, the most urgent task is to transfer the victims as much as possible, find a place to settle down, and call the Imperial Hospital for assistance to avoid the plague; The sky is so vast, the people suffer unspeakably, and it is a bad policy to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The Ministry of Industry should re-examine the water system map of the Changyuan River and return to water conservancy..."

"I believe that hundreds of thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River can be resettled in two places. The junction of Jingzhou and Yangzhou is low-lying. They will be resettled in Linhuai County, Xuzhou or Runan, Yuzhou..."

Jing Wang Qin Hong's remarks not only amazed the emperor, but also shocked all the ministers present.

Your Royal Highness King Jing!

Perhaps the Qin royal family has some tradition of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers?

First there was a clumsy prince, and now there is King Jing.

He is obviously an introverted and shy child, but he showed his good opinions as soon as he got a letter from the king.

"My son is quite accomplished in maps!"

His Majesty the Emperor stroked his beard and sighed.

This person who has never been to the Ministry of Industry, how can he look better than the one who stayed in the Ministry of Industry?
His Majesty the Emperor looked at his third son, and successfully saw the palette-like colors on his face.

Ok……

well.

Adversity makes people grow!
