Chapter 141

As long as she knows that Ji Kuan and Ji Ling are so tolerant of Ji Zhi, Mrs. Ji, as Ji Zhi's aunt and aunt, must be very competent, even excellent, and what is the reason behind this excellent performance.

That's enough.

After all, the Meng family and the Ji family have always been in contact. Judging from the personal relationship between Meng Renping and Ji Kuan, the Meng and Ji families will still be good friends in the next few decades. Since they are so close, she is also the daughter of the Meng family. , Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you make a better balance.

Meng Shisan had no intention of continuing to investigate, so she let the kite retreat to rest. She had just finished the snacks and drinks, and her stomach was a little full. She got up and walked to the yard and came to the lotus tank.

As soon as She Xiaoqing noticed her figure, she swung the snake's tail out of the water, and the whole snake body sprang out from under the lotus. She happily called out: "Senior!"

Meng Shisan said to Baozhu who was following him: "What other reports were there about river flood control last year? Go get them all."

"No." Baozhu turned around to get the past years' newspaper that Siyu had compiled recently.

Sending away the orb, Meng Shisanfang said to She Xiaoqing: "Since you don't want to go back to Kuang Guanghe, but you insist on staying with me, then you have to help me with errands. I don't keep idle snakes."

"Senior, if you have any orders, just send Xiaoqing." She Xiaoqing was in a panic when she was idle, and when she heard that she had to do something, and it was for the big demon senior, her mung bean eyes lit up instantly.

"I don't know everything about Qingbei Mountain, whether it's on the surface or secretly." Meng Shisan had this idea when she heard that the Zhishang Taoist Temple on the top of the main peak was actually a female Taoist temple. She thought that she wanted Water Snake to take a trip to Qingbei Mountain for her.

She Xiaoqing understood: "Then I will go now?"

"There's no rush, we'll go after daybreak." As soon as Meng Shisan finished speaking, she saw Baozhu walking towards her holding a pile of newspapers. She stopped her and said, "Bring it to the house, I'll go back and take a look. "

Baozhu accepted the promise and turned around to go to the bedroom.

Meng Shisan returned to the house and sat on the Arhat couch. There were two candlesticks on both sides of the couch, which were very bright.

Feeling that the orbs were not enough, she went out and came in again, holding a huge night pearl as big as a bowl, and put it lightly on several sides: "The slave girl went to fetch the time from the mansion, and when she met Aunt Shangchun, Aunt Shangchun, Miss Zhi still wanted to see it." Di Bao, afraid that Miss will hurt her eyes and mind, I asked my servant to persuade Miss to go to bed early, and asked my servant to find out this night pearl and give it to Miss to hold a lamp."

"She has thought carefully." With this night pearl, the characters on the Di newspaper in Meng Shisan's hand became clearer and clearer. When he looked closer, he was not afraid of the flames rolling around the Di newspaper. It was indeed useful, "Go down and rest early. I'll watch it for a while, and I'll go to sleep."

Baozhu didn't dare to disobey, so he agreed to retreat.

Among all the Di newspapers last year, there were more than ten Di newspapers on flood prevention. Each of them contained a large copy of the disaster caused by floods during the flood season. Lueyang County was particularly affected by the disaster.

Lueyang County is located in the southwestern part of Shaanxi Province, south of the Qinling Mountains, and the western edge of the Hanzhong Basin. It is located at the intersection of the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan. The county government is in Chengguan Town.

Among them was a Di newspaper, which was copied on the original county magistrate of Lueyang, Liu Zhizhi, who had lost money due to corruption, which resulted in inadequate flood control. The embankments collapsed and the ant nests collapsed, resulting in a rare heavy rain and flood last year.

Muds and rockslides, landslides, destroyed roads and bridges, and destroyed all villages and houses. It can be said that frogs are living in the stove, thousands of waves are rising, and boats are floating on houses. The whole county has been swept away by floods. There are nearly [-] affected households, totaling more than [-] people. Among them There were nearly a hundred casualties and nearly a hundred missing, resulting in heavy losses.

Afterwards, the liquidation was carried out, but Liu Zhizhi was only dismissed. He was executed immediately without going to Beijing for trial.

When Meng Shisan saw this, he couldn't help but think deeply. There are prefectures above counties, prefectures above prefectures, and provinces above prefectures. They go up layer by layer, but only Liu or even one person bears all the blame. In fact, It's strange.

Seeing the heavy rains and floods in Lueyang County, she pushed up the river to the source of the Jialing River.

The Jialing River is a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It flows through Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, and Chongqing, and flows into the Yangtze River at Chaotianmen in Chongqing. The main tributaries include the Badu River, Xihan River, Bailong River, Qujiang River, and Fujiang River. It has the largest drainage area among the tributaries of the Yangtze River. , second only to the Yalong River in length, second only to the Minjiang River in flow.

This river is wide, but has many rapids and dangerous beaches. It is the top priority of the imperial court's annual flood prevention.

It stands to reason that such a large flood would cause irreparable casualties and damages, which would be enough to shock all the military officials in the DPRK and Chinese.

Actually no.

For this reason, she asked Baozhu Shangchun and others, but they all said that she had heard about floods in other places last year, but floods occur every year, and the difference lies in the size. In the mansion newspapers of the various mansions, there was no disturbance among the common people.

It can be seen that this massive flood, which brought together natural and man-made disasters, was suppressed forcefully by a certain force in the imperial court. It was finally reduced to nothing, so that when it came to the capital last year, it was calm and without any trouble. storm.

Regardless of the other things, but her grandfather is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and she may be able to know some of the situation after the flood in Lueyang County last year, or the inside story from her grandfather.

After thinking about it, Meng Shisan decided to take a trip to his mother's house tomorrow.

The eldest cousin said that His Highness has already taken countermeasures. I wonder if His Highness’s countermeasures are related to the massive flood in Lueyang County last year?
If His Highness wants to go with her, and the strategy is to start from Lueyang County, then there will be a lot of court moths like Liu and even this vain parental official.

In the process of cleaning moths with large sums of money, Zhu Xiye, the county magistrate of Lueyang County who was newly appointed last year, seemed to be particularly critical. I don't know which camp he is from, or neither.

If it is a neutral faction, it will be easy to handle. If it is a member of the second prince or the fifth prince, then His Highness will have to spend a lot of effort to catch the moth.

At the same time, Li Shou was still awake in the East Palace Dormitory and Chongyu Hall.

He had just finished reading the letter Guo Nanny sent Wang Gui to the East Palace today, in addition to routinely reporting on Meng Shisan's daily life, the letter also mentioned visitors.

Unlike Zeng Chongqi who went to the Meng Mansion to seek Meng Shisan's favor, which made him feel so worried, he only glanced at Ji Ling's visit and then ignored it. What to do but don't know.

He frowned slightly. As for his eldest cousin, there was suddenly a martial arts maid beside him on the Dragon Boat Festival. He asked Fu Feng to check, but he couldn't find the source.

Then I looked down, everything was normal, until I saw the words specially added by Aunt Guo at the end: "Miss Meng knew that Miss Ji had a heart for His Highness, so she advised Miss Ji: 'Falling flowers are intentional, and flowing water is ruthless, so why not rein in the precipice? , there is a bright future in the dark."

His mood immediately soared, and he felt that Meng Shisan's move was tantamount to clearing out his love rival.
