The Yellow River flows through Henan, giving birth to a large area of fertile land at the same time, but also brings the threat of making people's bedrooms uncomfortable, once the Yellow River does not follow the usual path, this fertile land will become the land of Wangze, then it will be starvation everywhere, mourning everywhere, and when it is serious, it will be thousands of miles of red land within decades, and it will be an absolute hell on earth.

No matter which dynasty or generation of rulers, they dare not slack off in the governance of the Yellow River, and they make a small repair every year and a major repair every three years, just for the peace of the world.

There is no way, since the great grandfather stood out from the rebels who instigated the rebellion of the Yellow River and established the Zhu family, the children and grandchildren of the Zhu family have become more concerned about the governance of the Yellow River, so as not to lead to the tragedy of the Yellow River and the defeat of the Yellow River.

However, although the imperial court spared no expense to repair it every year, the Yellow River occasionally lost its temper. In addition, over the years, the government has been corrupted, the world is restless, and the treasury has not been able to make ends meet, so it is really impossible to draw too much silver taels to complete this huge project.

These things were all extracted by Shen Chongming from Niu Shilang's words, and the closer he got to Henan, the less Niu Shilang's words became, the heavier his mood became. Because the main responsibility of the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry is to be in charge of repairing the dams of the great rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and the others are easy to say, but the Yellow River embankment makes it difficult for people to sleep and eat, and it is good if nothing happens.

In this way, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry has become the most famous high-risk position in the Ming Dynasty, whenever someone is appointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Labor, he begins to draft a suicide note to arrange the future, and at the same time will try his best to transfer out of this position, even if it is to reduce the position.

But in this position, it is more difficult to make something and ask for a demotion than to ascend to the sky, because it is the minister in charge of the dikes everywhere, and if you want to make mistakes, you can only start with the dikes. But once something happens to the embankment, it is not a trivial matter, it is not a demotion to an official, but a suicide attempt. So this method is a dead circle that can't be bypassed, and the end is already doomed.

This road is broken, and the rest can only climb a high branch and transfer out of this position as soon as possible, which is also the method chosen by most people. In fact, Niu Shilang also thought of this method, but unfortunately for some reason, Yan Shifan, who was in power, just looked at him unpleasantly, not only did not help, but stuck him in the position of the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry and could not move.

This is a personal life, and the relationship between the left and the right is ineffective, and in the end, he can only wait for the disaster to come in frustration.

God is fair, Niu Shilang's three-year tenure coincided with the drought in Lanzhou in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River embankment has never collapsed, so that he has been safe and sound. Despite this, Niu Shilang was still awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, and after three years in office, he would come to the Yellow River embankment once a year, and he had a very thorough understanding of the situation. The embankment is old, and it is crumbling in many places, once the rain is abundant and the flow increases greatly, there will definitely be a big disaster, and then the only end of your life is suicide and apologize, there is no room for relaxation!

For the sake of his life, Niu Shilang was originally going to return to his hometown in advance, but he knew that at this juncture, Yan's father and son had fallen, and even better was that King Yu actually called himself to do something for himself.

That day, the cow waiter was hit by happiness in the waist, and he didn't sleep all night excitedly, Yu Wangye actually asked himself to help him run an errand, which is obviously optimistic about himself, as long as he takes this line, leaving the position of the right waiter is just around the corner!

But as mentioned earlier, Niu Shilang, who reigned for three years, knew everything about the Yellow River embankment, and he could have walked away, but what about the hundreds of thousands of people along the Yellow River, who were threatened by the collapse of the embankment all the time. Although Niu Shilang is not an honest official, he can't turn a blind eye to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and let them fend for themselves.

Not to mention Niu Shilang, after nearly ten days of travel, the group finally entered the territory of Henan, and entered the small town of Huanglinggang, which is close to the embankment of the Yellow River, when it was dark.

The town is not big, there is only one street from the west to the east, Shen Chongming, who was sitting in the carriage, observed through the window, there were many inns and taverns on both sides of the street, and there were many pedestrians on the street, but it was full of liveliness.

"Su Hanxiang, the lowly Huanglinggang inspector, will meet you on a mission." With this sound, the carriage came to a halt. Shen Chongming lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at it, but it was too dark to see very clearly, but he saw a few people kneeling in front of the carriage of the cow waiter.

"Hehe, Su Patrol Inspection, please get up quickly." Niu Shilang politely got out of the carriage and stepped forward to help Su Inspector. They are old acquaintances, Niu Shilang stopped in Huanglinggang three times before he came to Henan, and he was received by the Su inspection and took care of it carefully.

"Lord Niu, looking forward to the stars and the moon can be regarded as looking forward to you." Su Inspector said in a numb manner, and then said: "My lord has been tired from the journey, and the humble duty has prepared a banquet for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”

"Hehe, it's troublesome Su to inspect it." With a few polite words, the carriage slowly moved forward and headed towards the largest Yingbafang Inn in the town.

Yingbafang is very luxurious, it is the only wooden three-story building in the town, the first floor is a hall for guests to eat and drink, the second floor is some ordinary guest rooms, the third floor is a luxury suite for entertaining distinguished guests, and there is even a small cubicle for bathing, but because of luxury, there are only three rooms on the whole floor.

Although Shen Chongming has no official position, his status is also noble, Niu Shilang gave him a room with a wave of his hand, and the other two directors had to sleep in one room, and their faces suddenly looked ugly.

Although the reception banquet is ready, it will have to wait for a few adults to bathe and change clothes. So as soon as the house was arranged for everyone, Su Inspector took a few subordinates and the shopkeepers to carry water upstairs for the adults to take a bath.

As soon as he took a hot bath, the fatigue of nearly ten days of travel was almost washed away, and Shen Chongming turned out a set of clean clothes in the package and changed it on his body, and immediately became energetic.

There was a knock on the door, and someone outside the door was heard: "Shen Gongzi, the adults asked if you had cleaned up." "This voice is familiar to Shen Chongming, it is the handyman who drove the carriage for himself." All right. As he spoke, Shen Chongming opened the door while wearing his belt.

"Childe, a few adults are on the first floor." The handyman whispered, his eyes blinked quietly twice, Shen Chongming paused, and then realized that he must have been happy to take a bath, and let the cow waiter wait for him.

This is really rude, Shen Chongming glanced at the handyman gratefully, and hurried downstairs. "Lord Niu, three adults, the student is rude." Walking to the table, Shen Chongming apologized again and again.

Niu Shilang smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sit down." Despite this, Shen Chongming smiled at a few people with an apologetic face, and then sat in the seat that Niu Shilang left for him.

"Su Inspector, this official will introduce you to you. This is Shen Chongming, a famous genius in the capital Guozijian, and this time the official was entrusted by Prince Yu to take him to the Ministry of Engineering. When he said this, Niu Shilang looked proud, we are now the people of Prince Yu.

"Yo, the lowly Su Hanxiang has seen Mr. Shen." Inspector Su hurriedly got up to salute, but Shen Chongming had no choice but to stand up and arch his hand: "Inspector Su is polite, just call him by his name." ”

"Mr. Shen is polite, please take a seat." King Yu is definitely a god-like existence in the eyes of Su Inspector, the nine-rank official, and this Shen Chongming is valued by King Yu, so he is definitely a big man.

With this thought, Shen Chongming was taken care of after a meal, and the two principals next to him were angry for a while, and then they were valued by Yu Wangye, who was also a small prisoner, how could he be treated a grade higher than ours, and it was okay to be taken care of when eating, the most hateful thing was the housing arrangement, if it wasn't for him, why bother with the two of them in the same room, it was a trouble to take a bath just now, and they had to come one by one.

But I don't dare to say this in front of Niu Shilang, although this is an unlucky person, but the official position of the third grade is there, if you get angry, the brothers will not be able to eat and walk around.

Back in the room, Shen Chongming, who had been persuaded by the Su Inspector to drink a few glasses, fell asleep, but he didn't know that there were people in Beijing thousands of miles away who couldn't sleep for him all night.

"Shoot you, shoot you, hum, stinking thief." Under the candlelight, the little junior sister kept whipping the villain on the table with a small mouth, but her hands were extremely light, and it didn't look like she was whipping at all.

Half a month has passed, because of the appearance of the enemy, the little junior sister didn't dare to go out at all, and originally thought that Shen Chongming would bring flowers to see her, but she didn't expect to see no one for so many days.

After slapping for a long time, the little sister not only did not lose her anger, but became more and more angry, and somehow, her little mouth cried.
