Chapter 457: Flooding
There was a torrential rain, and although it didn't rain much, it still fell a little.
The canal is soaked with rainwater, and it is better to dig a little.
Lu Chensheng stepped on the muddy road to the area where the canal was excavated, which was divided into two sections, one for the Tartars and one for the soldiers.
Each other is responsible for a period of time, and it is considered to be peaceful.
When Lu Chensheng inspected the canal, the situation on the side of the Great Cangguo was not very good.
Heavy rain began to fall in many places, and depending on the situation, the rain did not stop for a while.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the river soars.
The rumors from all over the country began to be reported to the palace one by one, and based on past experience, I am afraid that this flood is already imminent.
"What about Xinghan City? Doesn't it mean that they are progressing smoothly and can deal with the floods this year? ”
The emperor of the Great Cangguo Kingdom looked at the piles of music in front of him, and at a glance he was reporting the heavy rain in various places.
The amount of water in these places will add up when the time comes, and the indecent will definitely be unlucky!
Originally, there were many waterways in Dacang, and they were all staggered, and the sudden increase in upstream water would only put pressure on the downstream.
One is not good, and it is common for the upper class to drown together.
The reason why the song was presented so quickly was because of the experience accumulated in the past, so that the officials in that place did not dare to slack off after seeing such weather.
The weather was reported directly in advance, and depending on the amount of rainfall, there was a possibility of flooding.
The emperor of the Great Cangguo, looking at the performance of this seal at this moment, the look on his face was naturally a little ugly.
Xinghancheng said that he was sure that he could cure the flood, and he put most of his hopes on the other party.
The main reason is that there is no money left, and the annual budget is limited, which was originally used to control the water and allocate money to the Ministry of Industry.
Now that it has been directly given to Xinghan City, there is no way for the Ministry of Industry to control the water if there is no money.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to Xinghan City to ask again?"
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was also helpless, so he could only give it up.
But no matter what, I still breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
In previous years, at this time, it was his biggest headache, and the emperor couldn't avoid reprimanding him for doing things badly.
When he gave the money to Xinghancheng and let Xinghancheng deal with the floods, he was against it.
After all, this kind of thing is always unreliable when it is handed over to outsiders to do.
Now this thing is not to blame on him.
When the emperor heard this, he could only nod after thinking about it, he had already reached this point, and he could only send someone to Xinghan City to ask and see how the situation was.
The hateful money has been given, and now even if you want to regret it, you can't do it.
Thinking of this, the emperor of the Great Cangguo suddenly became crooked and broken.
Could that guy be that he couldn't cure the water, and then directly asked for money to spend in advance, right?
If you want to talk about this possibility, it's not impossible.
Thinking about it like this, the emperor of the Great Cangguo Kingdom was a little flustered, it was a trivial matter that the money was cheated, but where is the face of the country?
Thinking of this, he glanced down at the minister below.
Seeing that the emperor was looking at him directly, he felt that something was not right in his eyes, and he was a little nervous in his heart.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to order?"
"This Lu Chensheng of Star Seoul City, isn't it in vain?"
The emperor looked at the minister, and then asked.
"In vain?"
The minister was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately came back to his senses, is this the emperor saying that the other party is a liar?
If you are really cheated of money, it is equivalent to the emperor being deceived, which is a big deal!
In order to appease the people before, he specifically talked about this matter, and now the people know that Lu Chensheng from Xinghan City helped control the floods.
Thinking like this, his heart was slightly shocked.
"Anyway, Yun Mengjiang was indeed cured by this Lu Gongzi, and he must have some ability."
The minister's words made the emperor feel a little relieved, and he was right to think about it.
No matter how Lu Chensheng is, he has also had a successful case of water control before, and if he starts to doubt it at this time, it is indeed a little too early.
When the emperor above heard this, after thinking about it carefully, he felt right.
"Send someone to ask quickly, the people can't wait too long."
After thinking about it, he still felt that it was better for people to hurry up and say hello, otherwise, there would be floods in this place.
At this moment, the emperor didn't know that at this moment, in the country of Dacang, some places were far more serious than what was written in the song.
The embankment, which is far wider than the river, is already full of raging water, which is constantly flowing towards the front.
In some low-lying areas, water has already begun to accumulate.
The experienced people already know that there will be floods this year.
As long as the water is fierce, the crops in the fields will definitely be washed away.
As soon as they thought of this, hundreds of people suddenly couldn't sleep at night, fearing that when they woke up, the crops in the fields would be gone.
It's just that even if they don't sleep, the flooding is not something they can stop.
"It's over, why did this year's floods come so ferociously."
An old farmer looked at the river in front of him, and looked at the fields, because of the heavy rain overnight, the river had not yet risen, and the water in the fields had already begun to overflow, and then water continued to flow into the river, fueling the water potential in the river.
"If this is a big flood, this year will be in vain!"
When the other person heard this, he also said with a hint of sadness on his face.
Past experience made him still a little overwhelmed in the face of such a situation.
I heard that the emperor asked a very capable man to come to Dacang to control the water or something.
Originally, when they heard the news just now, they were extremely happy, thinking that this time the emperor had done a little fact.
But who knows, in this summer, after the river began to surge, there was still no trace of the river being treated.
This made them suddenly feel that they were not playing.
In the past, whenever they heard about how much money was allocated to the Ministry of Industry to control water, they felt that it had some effect.
But gradually, they also learned that it was not much use at all.
The money was given to the Ministry of Industry, but in fact, the Ministry of Industry was sending out the money layer by layer, and by the time it was time to start doing things, there was no much money left.
So what can be done?
The only way to do this is to force the people to do their labor, and if they make a living miserable, the people will be conscripted to do their labor before they finish their work in the fields.
finally looked forward to it, and the emperor made some changes, but there was no change in this flood, and it should still come.
