Chapter 43: Mo Lingxin's Advice (2)
Looking at the guards at the door, Mo Lingxin took out the princess token on his waist.
The guard at the door saw her and bowed to her.
Mo Lingxin put away the token and went straight in: "This palace is looking for Gonggong Li, please inform him." ”
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess, wait a minute." One of the guards arched his hand and walked in.
After a while, Gonggong Li came out.
Saluted and said, "Did the princess come to your majesty?" Your Majesty has not woken up from resting, is the princess going in and waiting? Or do you want to go back and come back later? ”
Mo Lingxin asked, "Father is only resting at this time?" Did he have lunch? ”
Gonggong Li shook his head, "The emperor has no lunch today. Then he announced that the right minister and General Ning Yuan would come to discuss the matter, and they did not take a lunch break until an hour ago. ”
"Let's go in and wait! When his father wakes up naturally, he will rest more when he is tired. Mo Ling said in his heart.
"Princess, please inside." Gonggong Li stretched out his hand and asked.
Mo Lingxin walked in, and Gonggong Li followed behind her. Mo Lingxin sat down at the low table and looked at the topographical map on the table...... Gonggong Li walked to the corner and stood in place.

There is no polder city in the north of the city lord's mansion
A middle-aged man in the official uniform of the city lord walked around worriedly.
He is Mu Xu, the city lord of Wuwei City, who has been the city lord for three years, and has been conscientious and conscientious, seeking benefits for the people and protecting the people to live and work in peace and contentment. The people of Wuwei City trusted him very much, and he lived up to his grace and managed Wuwei City well.
This time, the flood in Wuwei City was flooding, and he reported it to the imperial court as soon as possible. The situation is serious, and it is no longer something he can handle.
I only hope that the imperial court can quickly come up with a way to find a way to deal with the flood before the lives of the people are endangered. Mu Xu looked up at the sky, the sun was gradually setting, and his heart was even more anxious.
At this time, a fourteen-year-old boy walked in from the door, with red lips and white teeth, and there was a feeling of elegance when he walked, the style of a gentleman, a handsome young man who could make a woman shy.
He is Mu Yun, the son of Mu Xu, the lord of Wuwei City, and he is nicknamed Yunjian Gongzi.
Mu Yun rubbed his hands together and said, "Father"!
Seeing him come in, City Lord Mu Xu hurriedly approached and asked anxiously and quickly, "Yun'er, how is it?" How's it going out there now? Has anything changed from when we went to check it out yesterday? Mu Xu looked at his son's immature face, and his face was a little heavy.
"Father, sons, and guards went to check. Because my father had let the ditch lead some to the lake outside the city, the waterline did not rise significantly today. But the water in the lake has increased dramatically, and I am afraid that in a few days, the lake will overflow. Mu Yun's immature face was old and steady, and his eyes were full of worry.
"What was the reaction of the people, and was there any chaos?" Mu Xu looked at his son and continued to ask.
"Back to my father: The people are willing to cooperate and do what is told. They all trust you, and the guards have not been reactionary since the morning patrol. It's just that there are some old and weak women and children who have left Wuwei City for the time being......" Mu Yun replied with a bowed head.
Mu Xu was silent for a while, and said earnestly: "I can understand them, only when the family is safe, young people can rest assured." After all, the Polder City can't guarantee their safety right now. Most of them stayed behind and worked together, and it was already gratifying to be fathers. ”
"By the way, if the water line rises and floods the shore, you have people open the sluice gates and let the water flow to Seven Star City, trying not to flood the houses. Otherwise, when the time comes, it will be a large amount of disaster relief silver, you know? Mu Xu solemnly instructed.
Mu Yun looked at him and nodded heavily. "Yes, father, the child understands."
Just then, a woman walked in. The hair is simply fixed with a hairpin on the head, and the women's hair is combed in a bun, and they are dressed in plain clothes. The clothes are not gorgeous, but when she walks, you can see at a glance that she is strong and gentle and virtuous.
"Madame," Mu Xu called.
"Mother" Mu Yun smiled at the woman.
Lin Yuwan was born in the evening, everyone is beautiful, and she has good etiquette and upbringing, gentle and virtuous.
Lin Yuwan walked up to them and asked gently, "Mu Xu, Yun'er." How's it going? ”
Mu Xu looked at her: "Yun'er said that it is temporarily under control, the waterline has not risen, and it will not threaten the lives of the people for the time being." ”
After listening to her husband's words, Lin Yuwan's heart suddenly fell. smiled: "That's good, it can buy some time." ”
Mu Xu nodded.
"But now I don't know if the Kyoto Imperial Court has thought of a way? When will someone be sent. The melting water of the icebergs in the north always flows to us. The amount of water is too large, and it can't last long. Mu Yun added.
Mu Xu paused, "We have to trust the emperor, he will not let it go." Presumably, it's coming! ”
"Your father is right, now we'll try to delay as long as we can, and wait for instructions from above." Lin Yuwan looked at Mu Yun and said.
Mu Yun looked at her and nodded.
"Alright. You haven't eaten lunch, so let's go eat first! After eating, we will discuss the importance of the people, and your body is also important. Only when you are well can you help the people do more. Lin Yuwan looked at them and said.
"That's what Madame said. Yun'er, let's go! There was a smile on Mu Xu's face.
Mu Yun also smiled, "Yes."
The family of three left the living room back and forth.

The Imperial Study
"Li Chang is here, come in." In the inner hall, the voice of Emperor Mo Tianlin sounded.
Li Changzai hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in, serving the emperor to get up.
Li Changzai took the dragon robe and put it on for the emperor one by one. "What happened during my rest?" Mo Tianlin raised his hand and asked.
Li Chang was waiting for him to put on his sleeves, and replied in a respectful whisper, "Back to Your Majesty, nothing major happened." However, Her Royal Highness the princess has come down. I'm sitting outside waiting now. ”
"The princess is here, why don't you wake me up." Mo Tianlin said.
Li Changzai had just waited for the emperor to get dressed, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is sympathetic to Your Majesty, saying that she is not in a hurry, just wait for Your Majesty to wake up naturally." Your Majesty was overworked and needed more rest, so the minions didn't wake your Majesty. Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”
"Alright, let's bring the water!" Mo Tianlin didn't think too much about it.
"Yes." Li Changzai hurriedly took the golden basin on the side and waited for the emperor to clean his face.
"Alright, let's get out!" Mo Tianlin said after finishing taking care of it.
"Yes." Li Changzai put the golden basin in his hand on the wooden shelf, followed the emperor, and went out of the inner hall.
As soon as Mo Tianlin came out, he saw the topographic map of the city distribution sitting at a low table watching Mo Lin.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mo Lingxin stood up and saluted, "Xin'er greets my father." ”
"Excuse me!" Mo Tianlin walked to the low table and sat down, and Gonggong Li walked down and waited.
Mo Lingxin sat down again. He looked up at the emperor and asked, "Father, what is this?" This thing should be important! How could it be placed here? ”
Seeing her doubts, Mo Tianlin said: "This afternoon, my father announced that the right minister and his son Ning Yuan came to discuss what happened in the early dynasty. ”
"Although the flood in Wuwei City cannot threaten the lives of the people for the time being, the river will burst its embankment and flood Wuwei City in a few days."
"So, have you figured out a way?" Mo Lingxin was a little anxious, his face remained unchanged, and he asked. If the polder city is submerged, it will inevitably affect the surrounding cities, and the border city will not be able to avoid it no matter what. That, Qin Xiang's aunt......
"The solution is to think of ......," Mo Tianlin said.
Mo Lingxin's heart fell a little, and asked, "What way?" ”
After asking, there was a sudden pause, "Father, I'm sorry, my son's ......"
"Don't worry, it's out of the way," Emperor Mo Tianlin interrupted what she wanted to say.
"Between you and my father and daughter, there are not so many rules." Mo Tianlin's face was kind, his tone slowed down, he restrained his majesty, and said gently.
Mo Lingxin lowered his head and smiled, looked up at the emperor and nodded.
"We've already figured out a solution. The plan is to delay the time and carry out diversion projects to divert water to various water-scarce cities south of Mexico, and to divert the water to large farmland. But now, there is still a problem that has not been solved......" the emperor said as he looked at her.
"What's the problem?" Mo Lingxin asked again.
"How to delay the question of time? The excerpt played by the lord of Wuwei City reads: The main thing is that the glacier in the north melts and flows down the water. The largest stream of water flows to Molin. During this season, it will take at least two or three months for the glaciers to melt to end. ”
"The drainage project will start immediately, and there will be a lot of people, and in the best case, it will probably take a month before it can start to share the water of the river."
"The city of no polder is only a week at most, and if you can't bring the river water to other places? The city will be submerged. ”
"Moreover, even if the river leads to the city, it will not last for a month."
"So, now, it's just a matter of how to control the river for a month." Mo Tianlin answered her question.
After speaking, he looked at Mo Lingxin. I found that Mo Lingxin was staring straight at the picture on the table.
"Xin'er, are you listening?" The Emperor asked.
Mo Lingxin raised his head and looked at him, "Erchen is listening."
"I see you've been staring at the map, do you have any ideas?" Mo Tianlin looked at her and asked.
Mo Lingxin looked at him, "Erchen has some ideas. But think about your father, you must have thought about it. ”
The emperor looked at the picture and said, "If there is no better way." Only one river can be diverted to the west of the world, and then the silver and grain will be consumed much more. When the time comes, the river will definitely have to be filled, otherwise, Ximing will know. Even if it is advantageous for them to divert water, they will take the opportunity to make trouble. Mo Tianlin used his hand to show her the route on the map.
Mo Lingxin observed the surrounding cities of Wuwei City, which was separated by a city from the border city, and would be affected. And there are no big rivers in the border cities to bring in. In this case, other cities can only be introduced temporarily.
…… However, even if the rivers were brought into the surrounding cities, they would not be able to sustain a month's worth of meltwater.
Mo Lingxin looked at the picture and pondered......
