Chapter 88 Appropriation for Disaster Relief
Lin Gu took a few guards and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the city.
Along the way, I saw the water in the city, and my face looked a little ugly.
When I finally came to the Yunjiang River, I saw the Yunjiang River, where the water had risen a lot.
After carefully inspecting it, I was relieved to see the water level on the side, although the water level of the Neijiang River had risen a little after the flow was restricted, it was not very obvious.
Thinking of this, Lin Gu hurriedly walked to the outer river and took a look.
At this moment, the water level of the Waijiang River has obviously risen a lot, and the stone tablets that were placed to check the water level have been submerged by several water lines.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Gudu took a slight breath.
But then, he just looked up to the sky and laughed, not paying any attention to the oncoming rain.
"Although it is only one day of rain, it is enough to prove that the flood of the Yunjiang River can be solved!"
Lin Gu's laughter was extremely hearty, and he had just made a round.
It was found that the outer river had diverted a lot of water, and the inner river had basically not changed.
In the inland river, according to Lu Chensheng's requirements, there is also a flood outlet, so even if the Yunjiang River is flooding, it can still be treated.
Thinking about it like this, how unhappy Lin Gu was at this moment.
The guards on the side were also extremely happy to look at the Yunjiangshui in front of them at this moment.
The Yunjiang River still looks a little clearer at this time, and the sediment swept down by the heavy rain basically flows to the outer river.
This can be seen clearly, because the river carrying sediment has a turbid color, which distinguishes the water of the two rivers from the Jing River.
In the past, I didn't know much about some of the words Lu Chensheng said, but I only knew what Lu Chensheng said, once the diversion was formed.
That is, a large amount of mud, sand and gravel from the river can flow into the outer river.
They only thought it was unlikely, after all, they were all things in one river, how could they completely carry the sediment to another river because of the branching?
Now, seeing the original rolling river, the extremely turbid side is all heading towards the outer river, and although the inner river is still a little turbid, it is relatively clear.
In such a situation, they were naturally shocked.
They still don't know how to do it, but it doesn't prevent them from feeling that it's unpredictable.
"Send a few people to stay here to observe the water of the Yunjiang River all the time, this rainstorm still does not stop, and it must not be neglected!"
Lin Gu looked around and said to a few guards.
The guards shouted in unison.
Lin Gu looked around along the Yunjiang River and made sure that there was no problem with the flood discharge and the river embankment, so he turned around and went back to the city.
The torrential rain continues to fall, making it feel as if it has been raining for decades in the sky, and you want to finish it all at once.
The rainstorm made the room damp.
The food stored at Xin Zhai's house is enough, and Lu Chensheng doesn't need to go out to buy some food with the fifth day of the new year.
Lu Chensheng looked at the rain that had been raining continuously for a long time and still had no intention of stopping, and his brows furrowed.
You can't go out this way, otherwise, Lu Chensheng wants to inquire about what is going on in Yunmeng City.
If there is no flooding in Yunjiang, he can naturally feel at ease.
You must know that the river outside Taohuawu has skyrocketed a lot recently.
......
The imperial capital, compared to the south of the Yangtze River, is sunny every day, and it is upsetting to know that the noise is upset.
In the palace, Emperor Jiang, who was affected by the scorching weather, had already asked people to take out the Tibetan ice and place it around the main hall to cool down.
Some ministers also received a lot of Tibetan ice.
"Report! The torrential rain in the south of the Yangtze River has been continuous for nearly half a month, and now many cities have been flooded! ”
In the imperial study, Jiang Huang, who was a little irritable due to the scorching weather, suddenly heard this urgent report, and his heart chuckled.
"Heirs come in!"
Jiang Huang's words fell, and the eunuch who led the guard immediately walked out and led people in.
The person who came in held the fold in both hands, and the personal eunuch didn't need Jiang Huang's instructions at all, so he stepped forward and took it and checked it carefully, and after making sure it was correct, he sent it to Jiang Huang.
Jiang Huang stared at the fold in front of him, and his face was gloomy after reading it.
"Why didn't you mention Cloud Dream City?"
"Yunmeng City is the worst, the heavy rain has washed away the roads, and the minister doesn't know what is going on in this Yunmeng City."
When Jiang Huang heard this, the corners of his eyes jumped.
If this Yunmeng City has a bumper harvest every year, the grain handed over will be nearly one-tenth of the treasury.
However, Yunmeng City has floods from time to time, and sometimes it is necessary to allocate funds for disaster relief, and the treasury has to allocate food instead of receiving it.
However, it was such a rich place, and even he was reluctant to give it up.
Hearing that it had rained heavily in the south of the Yangtze River for so many days, Jiang Huang was in a terrible mood.
"Send someone to Yunmeng City to have a look, no matter what, I need to know the news of Yunmeng City as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
The minister below immediately responded, "Your Majesty, whether to allocate funds for disaster relief now, according to the situation in previous years, the situation in Yunmeng City is the worst, and it will be much better if you prepare for disaster relief in advance." ”
I have experienced a lot of this kind of flooding, and I also have some experience in how to deal with it.
If you prepare in advance, the timely damage to disaster relief will be minimized.
Also, be careful of some patients after a flood.
When Emperor Jiang heard this, his face looked a little ugly, and the treasury didn't have any silver to allocate now.
"Let's ask the Minister of Household Affairs to come to the Imperial Study."
In the end, Jiang Huang sighed and said that even if there was no money, disaster relief was still very necessary.
Now I can only ask the minister of the household department how the treasury and silver are now.
As for Lin Gu, who was sent to deal with the floods, Jiang Huang didn't have much hope.
He also wanted to hope for the past, but the torrential rain for half a month had even washed away the roads.
With such a huge amount of rainfall, no kind of levee can stop it, how can this flood be cured?
Especially after reading the description in this excerpt, Jiang Huang became more and more hopeless.
If it weren't for the road being washed out, I'm afraid Lin Gu would have sent someone to ask for help.
Jiang Huang sighed, there is plenty of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is too abundant, so that such floods occur from time to time.
How good would it be if such rain was placed around the imperial capital?
Comparatively speaking, there are droughts around the imperial capital from time to time.
When he heard that Emperor Jiang had been summoned, he hurried to the imperial study.
After hearing Jiang Huang's explanation of the appropriation, his face was suddenly full of embarrassment and bitterness.
As the household department in charge of finances, how much silver does he have in his own treasury?
The group of guys from the Ministry of War chased after him every day to ask for silver, and the guys from the Ministry of Engineering also followed him to ask for silver, and what palace was damaged to repair, what objects were missing in that department, and so on.
All kinds of urgings for silver, he can't wait for a copper coin to be broken in half.
In this way, he is now going to disaster relief, which completely disrupts his arrangements for the treasury silver.
