Chapter 241: The Yellow River Embankment Meets Diao Min
"Fei'er, I'm not afraid of hardship, but I really don't understand. It's a big deal to control the river! If you don't get it right, it will not only cost the people and money, but also bring greater disasters to the people! ”
"How do you know if you don't try? I believe you are at least better than those mediocre officials! Yang Ah saw that Geng Xiaofan was relieved, and "encouraged".
Geng Xiaofan had nothing to say.
"Aren't you just worried about your little lady, I'll go and tell the Queen Mother, take her into the palace first, arrange a group of imperial doctors, and guard it every day, to ensure that she gives you a big fat boy, okay?" Yang Ah is going to put some more pressure on Geng Xiaofan.
"Don't scare me! Let Fei'er enter the palace, that's not sending sheep into the tiger's mouth! Geng Xiaofan jumped up.
"Then you can honestly follow me! Anyway, the Queen Mother asked me to take care of you, and you have to go with me wherever I go! This time, either be a marquis or beheaded! Yang Ah used his palm as a knife and gestured at Geng Xiaofan's neck.
"Princess, you can't be so cruel!" Geng Xiaofan knew that he might have to wade into troubled waters again this time.
"Husband, you can go! Don't worry about me, I'll go home, stay honest, never run around, and give birth to your son safely! "Liu Fei'er is homesick.
"Hmmm! I'll send you back at once. You just stay at home, waiting to be Mrs. Hou with peace of mind, and give birth to the little Hou Ye with peace of mind! ”
Yang Ah immediately took action.
Three days later, Geng Xiaofan accompanied Yang'a "Qincha" to Shandong for disaster relief.
The eldest princess's presence on the "front line" of the disaster did play a major role, and the summer grain had been harvested when the flood occurred, and the treasury of the four affected counties was still full.
With Yang A in charge, Geng Xiaofan commanded the yamen at all levels to open warehouses in an orderly manner and set up porridge sheds to help the victims. At the same time, all medical centers were strictly ordered to sit for consultation and give medicine free of charge to control the spread of the epidemic.
Although the order in the disaster area has gradually improved, Geng Xiaofan's more headache is still to control the river. In the smaller breach, the victims of the disaster have been organized to repair the blockage by "cashing in for work". There were a few big gaps, and he still couldn't make up his mind.
Standing on the embankment, Geng Xiaofan looked at the surging Yellow River, at a loss. The sky was getting cold, and the river wind was a little biting, and Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but shiver.
Yang Ah got out of the carriage behind him and gently draped a thick cloak over him. At this time, she really realized Geng Xiaofan's difficulties.
"Yang'a, I have counted, there are at least 30 executions in this section of the Yellow River, which ones should be blocked and which ones should be sparse, I can't decide if I don't see it with my own eyes. But just running this lap, without a month or two, I'm afraid it won't work. Geng Xiaofan sighed, if there was a satellite remote sensing map, it would be much easier.
"It seems that you are still right, this errand is not only hard, but also a headache!" Yang Ah sighed.
She had just come out of the warm carriage, and although she was dressed very thickly, the cold wind still made her shiver a little.
"There is no turning back from the bow! Is there a way back now? I want to find a way to investigate, you go and send a recruitment order to see if you can find some people who understand river workers. ”
"Alright! Not only must we investigate, but we must also plug the gaps that should be plugged as soon as possible. Like that. Yang Ah pointed to the broken embankment not far away.
Geng Xiaofan wrapped his cloak for Yang A, "It's too cold outside, you go back to the car first." ”
"Let's go over and have a look!" Yang A seemed to be very useful to Geng Xiaofan's "thoughtfulness", took his hand and walked forward along the river embankment.
This is a bend in the Yellow River, the flood peak washed out a gap of several zhang wide on the embankment, although the water level has dropped, but still gushing out continuously, and the embankment has been a vast ocean.
On the high ground on the embankment, there are more than a dozen work sheds, and dozens of county officials are directing the victims or migrant workers to fill in the stones and repair the embankment.
Geng Xiaofan stepped forward.
Although the gap was not large, the water was still very fast, and the stones were thrown into the water and quickly washed away.
"Stop! How can you do this? Geng Xiaofan stopped the "construction", and a soldier who looked like a small leader ran over.
"What do you guys do?" The little boss saw that Geng Xiaofan and the others were gorgeously dressed, and he didn't dare to be careless.
"We are sent by the imperial court, let your chief come and answer!" Geng Xiaofan spoke with a cold face.
The little boss was a little puzzled, what a big official was Qin Cha, how could he come to this construction site!
"The county lieutenant is here, and the suspect is being tried over there, please, please come with me." The little boss didn't dare to make his own decisions, and led the two of them towards a work shed.
"Lord County Lieutenant, you are full of food and support, and you are working hard and losing money!"
As soon as he walked to the door of the shed, Geng Xiaofan saw a young man in somewhat thin clothes, kneeling on the ground and justifying himself to the county lieutenant inside. Although he couldn't see the young man's appearance clearly, his voice was quite loud.
"Lord Chincha, why are you here!" When the county lieutenant saw someone coming in, he looked up and found that it was Princess Yang'a, so he was startled and hurriedly greeted him.
Yang Ah didn't say anything with a black face, and went directly into the shed. Geng Xiaofan walked up to the young man, "Who are you?" How dare you talk nonsense here? ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, this opening doesn't need to be blocked at all!" The young man looked up and twisted his neck and shouted.
"Listen to your accent, not like a local. Feelings, this yellow water has flooded your home! Yang Ah was so angry by the young man's confrontation that he stepped forward to kick him.
"Princess, wrath! I'm coming, I'm coming! Geng Xiaofan hurriedly grabbed Yang Ah, this girl is still too short-tempered, how can she be so disregarding her image.
"It's infuriating! What have the people's houses and farmland flooded into, and he is still making trouble here unreasonably, talking cool things! Lord Geng, kick him twice for the palace first! Yang Ah is still angry.
"What about the princess? Dare to ask if the princess understands river work? Will it cure water? The young man didn't seem to be scared at all, and still twisted his neck to hit it.
Yang Ah was really enraged, and suddenly broke free of Geng Xiaofan, stepped forward and kicked the young man to the back of the eight forks! Geng Xiaofan was startled, and quickly stopped, "The princess is angry, she loses her temper for this kind of villain, and she is angry, it's not worth it!" I'll ask, I'll ask. ”
"Villain! If you don't know how to pretend to understand, command indiscriminately, work hard and lose money, you are the villain! Although the young man was kicked to the ground, he still refused to accept it, wiped his nose that was bleeding from the kick by Yang A, and shouted loudly.
"You, you!" Yang Ah was furious, and he had to step forward, but Geng Xiaofan had no choice but to hold her tightly in his arms.
"There is no respect for the elders, slander the court, Lord Geng, pull him out and cut him down!" Yang Ah Qi trembled.
"Alright, alright! The princess is deflated first! Geng Xiaofan finally calmed Yang A, pulled him aside, and turned around and squatted down beside the young man.
"The boy's temper is not small! What's the name? Where are the people? ”
"My name is Wang Er, a native of Shu County!"
"People from Shu County, what are you doing in Dong County?" Geng Xiaofan frowned.
"Why can't the people of Shu County come to Dongjun?" Wang Er replied.
Geng Xiaofan was speechless.
"Alright! Let's not talk about this first, you can tell me, why don't you block this opening? ”
