"Your Majesty, in order to survive, we may have to ask the people to do this, you think that staying here for these people is absolutely only harmful, there is no benefit, once the flood breaks out, it will be difficult for them to escape." Valing stood beside Sha Yi and prayed to the emperor with the same expectant eyes.

"Su Fan, do you agree with this?" The emperor looked at Valing and asked very gently.

"Your Majesty, we all understand what you mean by returning to the roots, but now is the time when the flood breaks out, and we can only organize the people to temporarily evacuate this place, which is a last resort. We can't just watch the people suffer here. Also, if they want to stay here, they will have to wait until we have passed this flood and repaired the levee, so that the people can come back. Valing looked at the emperor and suggested very seriously, hoping that the emperor would agree.

Thinking that what Valing said was very reasonable, the emperor had to say helplessly: "Let the people evacuate this place temporarily, and then let them come back after the drainage measures here are repaired, it seems that this is the only way." But will these people agree? ”

"Your Majesty, everything needs us to work hard, you must know that everyone is close to their own lives, if they let them stay here will lose their lives, it is estimated that they will evacuate soon. Will I take care of this migration for you? I'm sure I can do it. Valing asked the emperor very seriously.

For the comfort of the people, Valing also went out and wanted to spare no effort to help them.

"Su Fan, since you are so confident, then let you do this business." The emperor said to Valing very softly, for some reason, he always felt that Valing was a usable person, and he planned to return to the palace and must reuse her.

"Your Majesty, since Su Fan is going to persuade the people, then I will take the young and strong people who are willing to stay to do some river dredging affairs, and when the flood breaks out, it can flow smoothly to the sea and reduce the losses of the people." Sha Yi didn't want to stay by the emperor's side anymore, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

The emperor looked at Sha Yi and Waling's eyes and said, "It seems that the two of you are really a perfect pair, so I'll leave everything to you." ”

With the emperor's permission, Valing immediately organized all the people to a safe place, and then said to them emotionally and loudly: "It is the rainstorm season, and it is estimated that there will be a flood soon. The young and strong people need to stay and help us do all the dredging work, and when everything is settled, everyone will come back. ”

Listening to Valing's suggestion, the people felt that what she said was reasonable, so they all agreed: "We obey the arrangement of the imperial court, and hope that the imperial court can help us solve this flood disaster and let us live in peace and contentment." ”

"Don't worry, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, there is nothing in the world that we can't do. I believe that there is only what we can't think of, and there is nothing we can't do. Valing confidently said to all the people.

Thanks to Walling's efforts, the old and frail people soon fled to their own homes, leaving only some able-bodied people to stay here to help Sha Yi do some work to dredge the river.

"Dingbei Hou, we have a lot of rivers here, but when the flood really comes, there is still no guarantee that it will be discharged smoothly into the sea." An official looked at Sha Yi and said very seriously.

"I've looked at it, and although we have a lot of rivers here, they are all small rivers, and there is no really big river, so when the flood breaks out, the small river can easily be blocked by some collapsed houses and tree branches, and the natural flood will erupt and not flow into the sea. The most urgent thing we need now is to merge these small rivers into one big river, so that it can have enough capacity to pour into the sea when the flood comes. Sha Yi said very solemnly to some of the officers and soldiers, to know these methods, he has been thinking about them for a long time.

Listening to Sha Yi's good strategy, all the officers and soldiers agreed very much, and said: "This is long overdue, only the big river is not easy to be blocked by some things, and it is easy to let the flood flow quickly into the sea." ”

Looking at the approving appearance of the leaders of the officers and soldiers, Sha Yi once again instructed all the leaders of the officers and soldiers very seriously: "I tell you, when you dredge the river, for safety, you must put sandbags on the bank of the river, so that once the flood breaks out, you will not let the flood wash away the riverbank, understand?" ”

"Dingbei Hou, don't worry, we will definitely do what you say." These officers and soldiers have all been affected by the flood, and now they are happy to support Sha Yi's decision when they hear that Sha Yi's decision is so right.

Seeing that Sha Yi and Waling were doing things in an orderly manner, the emperor was very happy, and felt that these two people were really usable talents, and they might be the pillars of the court in the future, and they must be entrusted with important tasks.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better for me to supervise the work myself, you don't have to go." Sha Yi heard that the emperor was going to follow him to supervise the work, and he said very uneasily.

"Dingbei Hou, let me tell you, although I am the emperor and have lived in the palace for a long time, I also care about my people. You are talking about it on paper now, but I am still very worried about whether these officers and soldiers will do it, and I must go to the scene to see it with my own eyes to rest assured. The emperor looked at Sha Yi and said very seriously, he was afraid that the officers and soldiers left by Master Zhang would be disobedient.

Listening to the emperor's words, Sha Yi didn't expect that although this emperor was very lustful, he still had a strong desire to govern the country, so he had to agree: "Okay, emperor." But you have to be safe. ”

"Don't worry, with you waiting for me in Dingbei, what else do I have to worry about?" The emperor looked at Sha Yi and said with a smile, after getting along for the past few days, he felt that Sha Yi was definitely a responsible person.

Seeing that the emperor insisted on going, Sha Yi had no choice but to take the emperor to the side of the Grand Canal they had just repaired. The emperor saw that the small rivers had already merged into a very wide and large canal, and felt very relieved.

Pointing to the wide river, Sha Yi introduced: "Your Majesty, you see that this river is very wide, 18 meters wide, I believe that when the flood comes, it will definitely flow smoothly into the sea and will not rush to the people." ”

"Well, the river is wide enough, but this embankment is all dirt, not strong enough, I am really afraid that after the flood is soaked, it will continue to collapse, and then the mudslide will be worse." The emperor looked at the soft embankment on the shore and said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, I have asked them to put sandbags on both sides of this river, which is estimated to temporarily block this year's flood, but if we want to protect ourselves for a long time in the future, we must build a high and strong embankment." In order to help the people keep their homes, Sha Yi can be said to have considered it very thoroughly.

"Sha Yi, what you said is right, I really didn't expect your good water control strategy to be quite good. I haven't reused you in the past few years, it's really a waste of national talents. The emperor looked at Sha Yi and said with annoyance, he knew that Sha Yi was so powerful, he should have sent Sha Yi to Jiangnan a long time ago.

"Your Majesty, since the last time Ma Wei fell into the flood, I blame myself. I always feel sorry for him and must do something for him. I think if this big river is repaired, I want to name it Ma Wei River, okay? Sha Yi looked at the emperor and asked seriously.

"Sha Yi, I didn't expect you to be a person who values love and righteousness, since you have such an idea, then I agree." The emperor looked at Sha Yi and said very approvingly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sha Yi said to the emperor very gratefully, feeling that this emperor was not as unbearable as Ama said.

"Sha Yi, I want to go to the bank of the river to have a look, to know how deep this river is, I need to have a number in my heart, so that when I return to the palace in the future, I will have a budget for it, and I will allocate funds for you to make it as one step as possible." The emperor said to Sha Yi, who was very sincere.

Thinking that what the emperor said was the same, Sha Yi carried the emperor to the bank of the big river, pointed to the depth of the river and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you see that this river is five or six meters deep, if we want to build the embankment, we must also build five or six meters deep, so that it is safe enough." ”

"Alas, I didn't expect this big river to be so deep, it seems that it will take a lot of silver taels to build this embankment." The emperor looked at the deep river and began to worry a little, you must know that the treasury is empty, and it is difficult for him, the emperor, to do it.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate all my assets to the imperial court to build the embankment." Sha Yi looked at the emperor's embarrassed appearance and said very sincerely.

"Sha Yi, are you telling the truth? You must know that the property of your Dingbei Marquis has been accumulated by your ancestors and grandchildren for generations, and if you say this, you will donate it to the imperial court, will you Ama agree? The emperor looked at Sha Yi and asked suspiciously, you must know that Sha Yi's Ama Ke is a miser, he has been with the emperor since he was a child, and the emperor knows him well.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that I, Amma, am very sorry for my life, let me tell you, he is only for himself, if he wants to make some contribution to the country, I believe he will definitely be happy to help generously. Don't say that you want him to set Beihou's assets, or you want his head, I guess he will be willing. Sha Yi looked at the emperor and said very sincerely, he felt that Ama had really been wronged in front of the emperor all these years. You must know that Amark is a heart of loyalty to the country.

I think that the emperor fell in love with a peasant girl, Sha Yi Ama didn't agree with anything, and insisted on destroying his good deeds, so that the emperor was put under house arrest, and now that I think about it, it's really not worth it.

Looking at Sha Yi's sincere appearance, the emperor remembered that he Ama had also treated him like this, and said with remorse: "Sha Yi, I have blamed you Ama for so many years, it's really undeserved." I regret it when I think about it, let him spend this life in vain. I'm really sorry for him. ”
