"The emperor's northwest urgent report!"
The messenger quickly went to the hall and presented the letter in his hand.
"Submit it!"
Emperor Jingrui immediately ordered someone to bring up the urgent report, and the eunuch beside him did not dare to neglect, and hurried down to pick up the slip and sent it to Emperor Jingrui.
All civil and military officials looked at Emperor Jingrui.
In the end, everyone's eyes were all focused on the letter in Emperor Jingrui's hand.
? Northwest Express.
The only possibility is that Xi Yi made a move.
Could it be that the Xiyi army violated the border?
?But this shouldn¡¯t be the case. Back then when Daliang and Xiyi were married, the first emperor married his daughter Shuohe Princess to Xiyi¡¯s emperor Yuwenhu. Xiyi hadn¡¯t fought with Daliang for more than 20 years.
Emperor Jingrui quickly opened the letter.
"The Chang River flooded, and the three counties in the northwest were flooded, houses were destroyed, and tens of thousands of mu of fertile land turned into puddles!" Emperor Jingrui glanced at the contents of the slip in his hand and said calmly.
Changhe is one of the largest rivers in Daliang.
The lower reaches of the Changhe River run through the Grand Canal opened in the previous dynasty, which is one of the main routes for the economic development of the north and south of Daliang.
The Chang River flooded and the dam burst.
This is no small matter.
"Where is the Ministry of Industry?"
Emperor Jingrui put down the letter in his hand and shouted angrily.
"Your majesty, the subject is here!"
Lu Bangong hurriedly stood up from the crowd, and everyone began to tremble when they saw Lu Bangong.
The Changhe River has a flood season every year. For this reason, the imperial court allocates a batch of project funds every year to repair the embankments on both sides of the Changhe River.
"Tell me what's going on?"
Emperor Jingrui asked Lu Bangong.
"I don't know!"
"I don't know?" Emperor Jingrui didn't expect that Lu Bangong would give him such an answer, "The imperial court will give you a sum of project money every year to repair the embankment and ensure that the Changhe River will not burst. Tell me! Your workers What did the Ministry do? You tell me you don't know?"
Emperor Jingrui lowered his voice.
As if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, it felt like the flame was about to explode at any moment.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know why the Changhe River broke its embankment. According to the calculations of our Ministry of Industry, the Changhe River is basically in the flood season in August and September. I don't know why it is earlier this year!"
Lu Bangong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and answered Emperor Jingrui's words tremblingly.
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, don't you know?"
Emperor Jingrui asked.
"The minister is guilty, please forgive me, the emperor!"
Lu Bangong hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty.
"Sin? Do you think you can be fine if you ask for a crime? Tens of thousands of mu of fertile land have been destroyed by your Ministry of Industry!" Emperor Jingrui said.
"The emperor's top priority is now, so he immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to make a remedy and send officials to the disaster area to check the disaster situation and appease the people!"
Lin Mingzhang stood up and proposed.
? When there is a flood, it is mainly the situation of the victims. Only when the victims of the flood are appeased will there be no floods.
Otherwise, once there is an explosion in the northwest, Beiyan and Daqi may take advantage of the situation and enter.
"Xiang Lin is right!"
Emperor Jingrui took a deep breath, but Lin Mingzhang's proposal was not bad.
"I don't know which love minister to go to?"
"Father, my son is willing to go!" Xiao Yanlong stood up and recommended himself. This is an opportunity to win the hearts of the people. He will go to the disaster area in person to appease the people, and he will surely win the hearts of the people.
"Okay, you are worthy of being the King of Jin. Your heart is for the people, and I am so relieved!"
Emperor Jingrui said with satisfaction.
What he wants is the leading role of the prince.
"Father, the King of Jin is taking care of all kinds of opportunities every day, so let his ministers go!" Xiao Yanqi said, how could such a great contribution be given to Xiao Yanlong for nothing.
The two soon started arguing in the court.
"The prince also wants to go?"
"That's right!"
"Then leave this matter to the prince! The prince will not live up to my expectations!" Emperor Jingrui handed the matter over to Xiao Yanqi, who was imprisoned for three months. Emperor Jingrui wanted to see if he was the prince. grow up.
"Thank you, Father, I will do my best!"
Xiao Yanqi said excitedly.??
"The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry must fully cooperate with the prince!"
"Follow the order!"
Feng Kui and Lu Bangong said in unison.
Zhenbeihou Mansion.
"The disaster in the northwest of Lord Hou, the Chang River flooded, and the bank burst its embankment, submerged a lot of good fields, and the people were also displaced!" Mu Hanfeng handed the note to Han Ce.
"It makes sense."
Han Ce didn't feel any surprise.
Although the imperial court invests a lot of money in the restoration of the Changhe River every year, the money is exploited layer by layer from the Ministry of Industry, and less than two-thirds of the money is actually used on the Changhe River.
Lack of money, craftsmen began to cut corners in order to complete the progress.
The annual restoration of Changhe is just a show. In the past, it was lucky that there were no problems, but this year is different. This year, there is a lot of rain, which caused the Changhe to break its embankment.
"This time, Lu Bangong may be doomed!"
Mu Hanfeng said.
The Ministry of Industry is naturally the first to bear the brunt of the Changhe River breaking its embankment. Once the investigation is completed and the Ministry of Industry's deduction of project funds is exposed, the good days of Luban workers will come to an end.
"Master Hou, who do you think the emperor will choose to be in charge of this matter this time?" Mu Hanfeng asked Han Ce, who should be able to guess because of his cleverness.
"Prince!"
Han Ce said.
"Prince?"
Mu Hanfeng didn't expect Han Ce to mention Xiao Yanqi.
"The prince has been imprisoned for three months, and the civil and military officials of the court are watching it. Now that the punishment is over, Emperor Jingrui naturally wants to give this opportunity to the prince, so that he can regain his prestige in the court, let him Have a good workout!"
Han Ce explained.
After all, Xiao Yanqi is the prince, the future heir.
Even if you make a mistake, there are many opportunities to make up for it.
"In this way, does it mean that His Royal Highness King Jing has no chance to perform?"
"Don't worry about this matter. The crown prince is in charge of this matter. We are not the only ones who don't like it. Someone will help us trouble the crown prince."
Han Ce said.
"Master Hou is talking about Xiao Yanlong?"
"That's right, how could Xiao Yanlong look at Xiao Yanqi's meritorious deeds in vain, he will naturally make trouble, and Xiao Yanqi is not that material either!"
Han Ce said confidently, as if all of this was calculated by Han Ce.
? Controlling the disaster, appeasing the people, and restoring the Changhe River are not as easy as they say, but they are very difficult to do.
In this matter, Han Ce completely believed that Xiao Yanlong would do a lot better than Xiao Yanqi.
"You take these few books of mine and give them to Xiao Yanjing!"
Han Ce picked a few books from the bookshelf.
One is a book on river management, the other is on disaster management, and several books explain how to control floods.
"Hou Ye means that there is hope for King Jing?"
"Of course, with a lot of accumulation, as long as King Jing shows a little bit of talent and learning in the court, Emperor Jingrui will notice, and then this matter will naturally fall on Xiao Yanjing!"
Han Ce decided to make Xiao Yanjing ready so that there would be no problems, Xiao Yanjing didn't know how to deal with it.
"Master Hou, there is one more thing that Zheng Min is back!" Mu Hanfeng said.
"Where?"
"At the Fish and Dragon Gang, waiting for Lord Hou to summon you!"
"Let him come over!" Han Ce thought for a while and decided to meet Zheng Min.
"clear!"
Xiao Yanjing left the study. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
