Seeing Sihan come out of the palace gate, Jingwei present immediately knelt down respectfully and called in unison, "See the eldest princess." ”

Sihan raised his eyes and glanced at the people present, but did not make a sound, and only after being served by the two palace slaves beside him to get into the palace car did he gesture to Shan Zhongze, "Let them get up and go." ”

As soon as these words fell, Sihan's fingers moved slightly and he lowered the curtain.

Outside the car, Shan Zhongze said in a loud voice: "Get up!" Gear up and go! ”

The resolute voice reveals a bit of unwavering fortitude.

When these words fell, the surrounding armor and footsteps came and went, and then after a while, the sound of horses' hooves rose chaotically, and then, Sihan's palace car began to gradually bump and sway forward.

Traveling all night, eating and sleeping in the open.

Sihan and his entourage did not delay anywhere, even if Shan Zhongze sympathized with her phoenix body and proposed to rest on the spot, Sihan also indifferently refused, except for three meals a day, the group did not stay, and when it was dusk the next day, they finally arrived in Jiangnan.

I have heard that the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River have simple folk customs and are extremely beautiful. If you walk on the arched bridge of the Xianghe River, walk across the bluestone road with an oil umbrella, or take a boat to swim the crystal clear blue water river outside the south of the Yangtze River, it must be a free and enjoyable thing.

However, I heard that after all, I heard that I heard it, or maybe it was Jiangnan Ben as simple as the legend, but after a flood, everywhere I saw was thick mud, all collapsed and dilapidated houses, and even, on the bank of the legendary willows, most of the willow poplars were washed to the horizontal slope, so it was undoubtedly hideous and dilapidated, how could there be the rumored half of the bright and tranquil meaning.

On the dilapidated road, Sihan and his party stopped their carriages and horses.

On the other side of the road, several governors of the prefectures and counties around Jiangnan suddenly looked nervous, and then immediately trotted over, and after finding Sihan's palace car, they began to bend over and say nervously: "Down, Xiaguan to meet the eldest princess." ”

Therefore, the eldest princess suddenly came to visit the land of the poor country, and the governors of the prefectures and counties around him all cheered up 120,000 points, and they had been waiting at this official road before dawn, and they had been looking forward to it carefully.

When their congratulatory voices fell, Sihan slowly moved in the car, and when he reached out to lift the curtain of the car, he saw several men in official robes standing on one side, and the undersides of those men's official robes were stained with mud, and their faces were a little pale and tired, but the slightly drooping pupils could not hide the overflow of nervousness and fear.

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and she didn't speak, only with the help of Shan Zhongze got off the carriage and stayed on the ground to stand firm, she glanced at the official road that was still muddy and unfinished in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Now, what happened to the disaster in Jiangnan?" ”

As soon as these words fell, several state and county officials looked at each other, and for a moment, someone stepped forward and said nervously: "In the past few days, the flood has not receded, and most places in the south of the Yangtze River are still flooded. Moreover, two days ago, Lord Chu had already received a cart and horse to send relief grain, and the victims gathered in Nanshan also relied on relief food to make a fortune, plus Lord Chu has been busy, and at this time, he is still leading people to step up the construction of high embankments at the mouth of the river embankment on the west side of the south of the Yangtze River, and they are also discharging floods from the tributaries. ”

"Hmm." Sihan responded indifferently.

The magistrate of Nazhou County raised his eyes very nervously and quickly glanced at Sihan, seeing that Sihan's face was not different, his face tightened slightly, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "The eldest princess is running around day and night, and the boat and car are tiring. If not at this time, would it be good for the eldest princess to go to the county government to rest first? ”

Sihan said lightly: "No need. ”

As soon as these words fell, several governors of prefectures and counties were stunned.

Sihan glanced at them lightly, looked at the state official who spoke again, and said in a low voice: "You first take the king and his party to the county office, and store all the materials brought by the palace in the county office." ”

As he spoke, his voice was raised, and his gaze swept to the other state officials, "And the rest of the officials, together with the main palace, went to the river embankment on the west side of the south of the Yangtze River to have a look." ”

As soon as these words fell, Shan Zhongze, who was behind him, immediately said resolutely and rigorously: "Eldest princess, the mouth of the river embankment must be flooded, and it is extremely dangerous. Princess Wang's eldest princess went to the county government with her subordinates to rest, and after the flood drained a lot, it was not too late for the eldest princess to inspect again. ”

"Yes, eldest princess, the embankment on the west side of the river south is really dangerous. Besides, with Lord Chu in charge, there must be no problem. ”

As soon as Shan Zhongze's voice fell, the rest of the state officials also began to echo tactfully and nervously.

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he didn't listen to their words too much, and said in a low voice: "The river embankment is flooding, and this palace knows it. It's just that this time I came over, it was for disaster relief and help, and on the embankment, Chu Yu went to get it, and the palace naturally went there. ”

"Eldest princess ......" Shan Zhongze frowned, still not at ease, but before the words fell, Sihan had already turned his eyes to look at him, and said in a low voice: "The palace has made up its mind, and you will send the disaster relief materials to the county government first." Wait for tomorrow, and then go to the place where the victims gather to distribute it. ”

Shan Zhongze's face changed, and he wanted to speak again, but after all, he didn't speak, but only nodded to Sihan with great seriousness and fortitude.

Si Han stared at him a few times, said no more, and once again looked at the rest of the state officials, and ordered to lead the way.

Seeing Sihan's indifferent and firm tone, the rest of the state officials didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so they only led a few officials to turn around very respectfully and lead the way for Sihan in front.

Sihan's face was silent, and he didn't speak, just stepped forward and followed slowly.

Along the way, there was mud everywhere, and there were many broken wooden planks or other living utensils trapped in the mud on the road.

Everywhere you look, there is a mess, and dilapidated and crumbling houses abound, all of which verify the traces of the relentless ravages of the flood.

Si couldn't help but look around, and the bottom of his heart, which was silent, gradually began to fluctuate.

It was originally the most favorite Jiangnan of the Moren *** guest, and it was a place outside the world with a quiet environment and simple folk customs, but now, it has become like this!

Thoughts meandered, and Sihan sighed secretly.

The high boots under his feet have long been stained by mud, and the hem of the brocade robe is also dragged to the ground, which is really embarrassing.

When they followed the governors to the embankment, they saw dozens of men dressed in the robes of officials and elite soldiers on the embankment building the embankment in a hurry, and on one side of the embankment was a turbid flood that was about to rise to the top of the embankment and the waves were surging.

"Eldest princess, there is danger ahead, just stand here. This Jiangnan River is usually only more than ten meters deep, but when the flood rises, there are more than 20 meters at this time. If a person falls, he will not be able to get up. At this moment, the state officials in front of him stopped together, and someone turned around and explained to Sihan very carefully.

Sihan stopped for a moment, retracted his gaze from the embankment in front of him, and said in a low voice: "How many people have died when this flood hits?" ”

The state officials looked at each other.

After a while, the governor replied respectfully: "Although the flood has been raging for several days, only a dozen people have really lost their lives. And they lost their lives, all on the first day of the flood. In the next few days, the lower officials and others all evacuated the people to Nanshan to settle down, yes, at the time of the back, no people died, but, only, the food storage was not enough, a few days ago, the people were hungry for a few meals, and after Lord Chu came with supplies, the people had a full meal. ”

The respectful voice revealed a bit of nervousness and fear that could not be concealed.

Sihan's face was still cold and mixed, and he didn't say anything.

At this moment, a famous state official saw Chu Yu and subconsciously called loudly, "Lord Chu, Lord Chu, the eldest princess is here." ”

As soon as these words fell, Chu Yu was shocked, and the officials and elite soldiers who were present to build the embankment were shocked.

In an instant, everyone turned their eyes and looked at the sound, stunned on the spot.

Chu Yu lost the shovel in his hand, and ran towards Sihan covered in mud, and after standing in front of Sihan, he knelt down very respectfully towards Sihan, "Chu Yu, participate in the eldest princess." ”

The resolute voice still seemed a little thick, but the voice was extremely indifferent, and it was not as nervous as a few state officials.

In an instant, the officials and elite soldiers on the embankment also hurriedly knelt down and shouted for the princess Chitose, with great momentum.

Sihan's brows shrank almost imperceptibly, and his gaze swept towards the state official who called Chu Yu.

The state official trembled timidly, and then hurriedly bowed his head as if he had done something wrong.

Sihan didn't think much about it, just pressed his heart, his eyes fell towards Chu Yu, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Chu has worked hard these days, and he will get up and talk back first." ”

Chu Yu said slowly: "Since the head of the family recommended Chu Yu to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess also looked down on Chu Yu and asked Chu Yu to come to the disaster relief, Chu Yu wanted to handle this matter well, and he didn't dare to say much about his hard work." ”

As soon as these words fell, he slowly got up, looking at Sihan with great stability and fortitude.

Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "The emperor is discerning and can recommend a talent like you for this palace, and now I see that you are in a hurry to start the disaster relief, and this palace is also gratified." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Chu Yu to reply, her voice was raised, and the conversation began to change, "Now how is this embankment built?" ”

Chu Yu said slowly: "This morning is to smash the flood channel, the flood is already a lot lower, this embankment, also built a meter high, if the next few days to smash more flood discharge tributaries, can solve the urgent need of flooding in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Sihan nodded slowly, satisfied with this Chu Yu.

When Zhan Wenyi recommended this person on the same day, she only trusted this Chu Yu a little, and asked him to take charge of the transportation of materials and cooperate with the state officials to settle the refugees, but unexpectedly, this Chu Yu showed his skills in the south of the Yangtze River, took the initiative to participate in the disaster fighting and flood discharge, and the construction of the dam and the smashing of the flood channel were all what she thought.

I have to say that this Chu Yu, who knows martial arts and knows Wen, seems to be a little rough, but he is not a reckless fool.

Yes, this person is really available, and after she returns to Beijing, she can reuse this Chu Yu.

His thoughts flipped, and Sihan was silent for a moment before he came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "Very good." Filling up the levees and smashing the roads to discharge the flood is really feasible. However, when will this flood channel be safe? If the flood is discharged and the downstream is affected, it will become a disaster. ”

Chu Yu was not half nervous, and still said calmly: "Eldest princess, don't worry." Chu Yu has investigated the tributaries of the flood discharge, there are no villages around the tributaries, and the south of the Yangtze River is close to Qingzhou and Beihai, all the flood water can flow into the Qingzhou River and Beihai, and it will not become a hidden danger. ”

Is it?

Sihan's expression moved slightly, his thoughts flipped over, and deep in his heart, he suddenly slipped out of Qingzhou for the second day.

Thinking that Lan Yeyu had also taken the initiative to mention his life experience with her that day, saying that he grew up in Qingzhou, and still sent people to raise fish and fish in Qingzhou, making money and earning a lot of money, but now it is unexpected, that Qingzhou is close to the south of the Yangtze River, and the place where she is fighting now is not far from Qingzhou.
