"Chen Ye, do you have any good solutions?" The emperor listened to the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty arguing around, and saw Chen Ye standing quietly in the back, trying to see what good way he had.

"Minister, there is a way" Chen Ye's voice resounded throughout the court.

"Say it quickly"

"At present, the disaster relief is divided into three parts, the first part is to rescue people who are still floating on the water, or those who have fled to the rooftops, and distribute food. The second part is to send people to dredge the river so that the water can be drained as soon as possible, and the third part is also the most important, to prevent the plague, to prevent the plague after the flood, please let the doctors in the whole capital cooperate with my method, you can prevent the plague"

The method of disaster relief has come out, who will save it, this is a thankless job, it feels easy to listen to Chen Ye's words, but it is difficult to implement it when you think about it.

"The minister is willing to go" Lu Yong walked out of the column.

"The minister is also willing to go," Chen Ye said that he was willing to do it.

"Do you have any requirements?" The emperor asked Chen Ye what help he needed.

"I want 10,000 troops and 10,000 shovels." Chen Ye's voice was very loud.

"Your Majesty can't, at this time, the army must obey Your Majesty's dispatch"

"Your Majesty, Chen Ye's heart can be punished"

"Don't give him 10,000 soldiers"

"Then you go to the disaster relief, can you do it?" Chen Ye questioned the ministers present.

"My Imperial Forest Army has 10,000 for you to deploy, 10,000 shovels for the whole city to collect, and the food supply is sufficient." The emperor made a promise in front of the civil and military officials.

"Lord Lu is responsible for making rafts to save people, all of them are connected to high places, tents are set up, everyone must eat boiling water and boiled food," Chen Ye instructed again.

Lu Yong looked at Chen Ye's figure, a thin figure, looking so great.

"Brother Chen, you go save people, I'll dredge the river" Lu Yong was a little worried about Chen Ye.

"I'm not good at water, you go, appease my family for me" Chen Ye finished speaking and left.

Chen Ye came to the barracks outside the capital on a raft, gathered everyone, and looked at the black pressure below.

"Brothers, I'm your new commander, what am I here for, I'm not here to be a general, I'm here to relieve the disaster, our fathers and fellow villagers, brothers and sisters are still soaked in the water, we are going to dredge the river, you may not be able to come back this time, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid" The sound was earth-shattering

"Okay, today I, Chen Ye, have recognized all my brothers, for the sake of the blind date of my father, we will set off now to dredge the river." After Chen Ye finished speaking, he asked each person to lead a shovel.

Go to dredge the river, because the location of the barracks is relatively high, and this kind of thing was prevented from happening very early, so the barracks have no impact, many people actually want to go to disaster relief, but the soldiers have to obey orders, and now there is a person leading them to disaster relief, one by one is full of energy.

Chen Ye had long known the river map of the capital, and now the rivers in the capital are mainly blocked between the North Canal and the Chaobai River, because of the impact of the river, houses and tree branches block the river, and there is also the rapid digging of two rivers.

This time the excavation could not use the shortest distance between the two points, and the original small ditch should be used to save time and achieve quick results.

Chen Ye motioned for the troops to stop; "Brothers, we have reached our destination, have we seen the river from here, we are going to dig it through today, the distance is not far, 300 zhang away, do we have confidence?"

"Yes" riveted one by one.

The 10,000 officers and men were divided into 30 sections, each of which was responsible for 10 zhang, and began to dig small ditches and raise both sides of the small ditch to make embankments.

"My lord, you can rest, let's just come" A soldier saw that Chen Ye was also digging the river.

"I don't rest, we are all brothers, we have to think about the fathers and elders in the city, they are still soaking, I am not a general, I am just a disaster relief person" After Chen Ye finished speaking, he continued to throw off his arms and continue to work.

Seeing Chen Ye like this, the other soldiers buried their heads and continued to work.

Many people don't say they're tired when they're tired, they lift the soil if they can't dig it, Chen Ye's body is getting better now, he keeps digging with a shovel, and he doesn't feel tired at all.

It was almost dark, and Chen Ye directly asked people to light torches and continue digging.

"Your Majesty, go to the city wall and take a look, Lord Chen has been leading people to dredge the river, and now the torches are still ongoing," Zhou Gong announced Chen Ye's situation.

"Quick, lead the way, let's go to the city wall to see" After the emperor came to the city wall, he saw the fire in the distance, and it was very bright in the dark night, and it was already late at night, and he could faintly hear the fiery work of the soldiers.

Many people on the city wall had tears in their eyes, and many people in the capital slowly knew the news and were very grateful to Chen Ye. The emperor watched it for a long time, leaking a relieved expression, and did not go back until it was very late at night.

The next day many people found that the water had receded.

"Hurry up, the water is receding" With a personal surprise discovery, the water in the capital receded at a speed that could be seen.

"It's all thanks to Lord Chen"

"Master Chen is a good person."

"Lord Chen is really an immortal who came to us"

Many people in the capital here were overjoyed, the river on Chen Ye's side was dredged, and many soldiers leaked tired looks, after all, they had been digging for a day and a night.

"Everyone obeys the order, rest in place for two hours" Many people fell into a deep sleep when they heard the word rest.

Chen Ye couldn't sleep, and he still had to think about how to prevent the plague. The easiest way to plague is to sprinkle lime powder, boil everything soaked in boiling water, and burn the corpses even if they are to be disposed of.

"My lord, we are all rested" An officer came over to report, seeing that Chen Ye did not rest at all, he felt embarrassed to continue to rest, the people of this era are really simple.

"Less than two hours, go back to sleep"

"My lord, we're really resting."

"No, you must rest for two hours, this is the order" The soldier was moved, and for the first time after so many years of being a soldier, he saw the commander who thought about himself.

With tears in their eyes, they closed their eyes and continued to rest.

Two hours later, seeing that many people's energy had almost recovered, they directly waved their hands and dug a big pit directly outside the capital.

Chen Ye came to the gate of the city wall and saw Gonggong Zhou waiting at the door.

"Father-in-law Zhou, why are you at the door?"

"Waiting for your lord, you"

"This is the bird's nest soup rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, don't live up to Your Majesty's good intentions" After Gonggong Zhou finished speaking, a small palace maid next to him brought a food box.

"That week, my father-in-law thanked Your Majesty for me," Chen Ye drank it all.

"I hope that Father-in-law Zhou will do me a favor, I am worried about the plague, and I hope to collect some candles and dry firewood as much as possible"

"What is Master Chen going to do?"

"Burn corpses to prevent plague and burn the source of contamination"

"Then I must tell Your Majesty what I said, is there anything else Lord Chen has to do?"

"Help me report to my family." Chen Ye reported a punch and hurriedly followed the army.

In order to prevent the occurrence of plague, Chen Ye chose to come to a remote place, and instructed the soldiers to start collecting some dry branches and burning wood, and then let the soldiers start collecting the corpses, and the corpses were brought directly into the pit.

Finally, the branches were lit so that a large-scale plague could be prevented. After dealing with it, Chen Ye led the soldiers into the city to help the poor families in the city, clean up the garbage, and tidy up the houses.

Chen Ye ordered the soldiers to sprinkle a large amount of quicklime in the capital, so that a simple antivirus could be carried out, and it took two days and two nights to deal with them.

"Brother Lu, everyone who has been separated from home has registered."

"Are all the homeless settled?" After Chen Ye saw Lu Yong, he asked several questions in a row.

"It's all settled, Brother Chen, thanks to you, now the whole city is working together, and the matter is almost settled" Lu Yong told Chen Ye the general situation, so that Chen Ye could rest assured.

"It's okay here in the capital, but the Yellow River has not yet been dealt with, and the hinterland of the Central Plains is the most severely affected. The river embankment has not yet been blocked, the officers and soldiers have no right to mobilize, and the government has done nothing. Lu Yong also felt powerless.

"Then I'll go to the palace right away"

"Why are you entering the palace, you set off now, it will take a week all the way, and you won't be able to solve many things when you go"

"It's man-made"

"Then I'll accompany you" Lu Yong didn't worry that Chen Ye would go directly to the disaster area alone, this time the disaster should be more serious than Anqing, and he couldn't blindly enter the disaster area.
