Chapter 31 The Yellow River Floods

On this day, Ling Yu returned to the city from the base to the Chamber of Commerce, since the production base moved out, the Chamber of Commerce has a lot less, generally replenished the goods the night before, and transported the spirit guide from the base to the Chamber of Commerce for storage and preparation for sale the next day, so there are only a dozen or so guys left, because the workshop is gone, so the shop of the Chamber of Commerce has expanded a lot, and part of the back workshop has become a shop, and the other part has been rebuilt into a house for the guys to live in, of course, there are also better houses built for Ling Yu and other owners to live.

Now Zhou Shaobin is now more in the Chamber of Commerce, and occasionally goes to the base to see, Zhou Ling has come to the Chamber of Commerce every day to report since she basically established a relationship with Ling Yu, and she simply became the shopkeeper, Ling Yu is also happy to see, after all, her own industry, the proprietress naturally has to take care of it, Zhou Ling also knows that Ling Yu already has a concubine room, but she doesn't care, in this era, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, and Ling Yu will have a problem if he only marries her, so Xinyue is in charge of housework, and Zhou Ling manages Ling Yu's industry, It is also considered a clear division of labor, and the two often meet, and Xinyue respectfully holds the etiquette of meeting the eldest woman every time.

"Ling'er, just sit down, where are you so busy as a shopkeeper." Ling Yu looked at Zhou Ling busy and said with some distress.

"Yo, Da Zhou's good husband, this is beyond my brother." Zhou Shaobin laughed and said, seeing that Ling Yu felt so sorry for Zhou Ling, he was naturally very happy.

"Ah, Brother Ling, you're here, I don't have anything to do, I'm busy, I always feel idle." Zhou Ling squinted her beautiful eyes and smiled, then explained to the guy to do things and sat down to rest.

"You're good, shake off the shopkeeper, we people are working hard." Zhou Shaobin said with a smile.

"It's like you're not the boss, the two of us in the Chamber of Commerce are half of one person, shouldn't you work harder?" Ling Yu also retorted with a smile.

This period of time has been relatively stable, except for the previous vicious incident, there is nothing major happening, Beihu is busy dealing with the affairs of their west, I heard that the fight is very lively, because the two families in the Great Zhou country have Ling Yuefeng in charge, and Beihu has no way to support them, so they have temporarily died down and dare not act rashly, so the overall period of time is relatively stable.

"Alas, don't say it, when I entered the palace yesterday, my father encountered a trouble, I heard that it has rained heavily recently, and it is very likely to cause floods, and my father's hair is gray during this time." Zhou Shaobin said worriedly.

"If it hurts the flood, we can do a good job of relieving the disaster, and if it is not harmful, we should strengthen the river embankment." Ling Yu said casually.

"Alas, the trouble is here, now it's raining heavily, it's more difficult to strengthen the river embankment, if it's a real flood, I'm afraid the food for this disaster relief is not enough, you also know about the earthquake near Chengdu Mansion before, the imperial court spent a lot of money to appease it, last year's grain storage was almost spent, and this year's new grain has not been harvested, sad" Zhou Shaobin said with a sad face.

"Xiaoling, is there any way to strengthen the river embankment or can we make high-yield crops?" Seeing Zhou Shaobin like this, Ling Yu silently asked Xiao Lingdao in his heart.

"Master, there is no way to do high-yield crops, there is no information on it, but I have a soil method to strengthen the river embankment." Little Lingdao.

"Oh? What's the solution, let's hear it. Ling Yu heard Xiao Ling say that there was a way and hurriedly asked.

"Master, you can make a simple earth wall rune spirit guide, fix it on the existing river embankment, and use the spirit crystal to stimulate the spirit guide to produce an earth wall, maybe it will be useful." Little Lingdao.

After listening to Xiao Ling, Ling Yu felt that this was a way that could be implemented, so he said to Zhou Shaobin: "Baked cakes, don't worry, I have a way to try." ”

Zhou Shaobin's eyes lit up when he heard Ling Yu say that there was a way, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Ling, hurry up and talk about what to do, don't hang people's appetites." Zhou Ling was watching her Ruyi Langjun's eyes shine brightly, and she was very happy in her heart, she was both happy and proud to be able to help her brother and father, and she was so good to herself.

"Hehe, this is to tell you, I just thought about it, you can make a simple earth wall rune spirit guide, and then fix it on the existing river embankment, and then use the spirit crystal to activate it, and produce an earth wall, which should be able to block the flood, you only need to send someone to replace the spirit crystal regularly." Ling Yu smiled and said what Xiao Ling had given him.

"Ah, Brother Ling's brain is spinning so fast, he can come up with a way, so follow me into the palace to report to my father." Zhou Shaobin was overjoyed, this method is indeed feasible, if it is unrealistic to let the spirit master stimulate the earth wall talisman, not to mention that the consumption of the spirit master is difficult to solve, let's just say that the spirit master is so much so idle.

"Don't worry, at least go make a sample and report it to His Majesty." Ling Yu saw Zhou Shaobin hurriedly pulling him out, so he said slowly.

"Ah, look at my brain, Brother Ling, you are right, hurry up and go to the production base, alas, the Zhao family, who killed a thousand knives, forced us to move the production base out, no, now we have to run out of the city to make a gadget." Zhou Shaobin patted his head and complained.

"It doesn't matter if we move out, it's convenient to keep secret what new things we develop in the future." Ling Yu didn't feel bad, but felt that it was quite reasonable.

Now the two of them no longer shy away from Zhou Ling when they talk about things, so they will go to the base, and naturally Zhou Ling will follow, which also makes her very happy, after all, she spends most of her time indoors and rarely has the opportunity to travel, although she is only out of the city, she also treats it as a play.

It didn't take long for the three of them to drive the carriage to the base, because the production base and the base of the Academy of Sciences are next to each other, so the security measures are also done by the new army.

Ling Yu recruited the craftsmen of the workshop and asked them to make a simple short pipe, which was only about twenty centimeters long, and the diameter of the iron pipe was about five centimeters, Ling Yu quickly made the spirit core, installed it, and then put in the spirit crystal to test it, after activation, an earthen wall was released, and some of the short pipe was exposed, so that it was convenient to replace the spirit crystal.

Zhou Shaobin saw that the effect had reached expectations, so he didn't say anything more, and hurriedly pulled Ling Yu back to the city with his things, wanting to enter the palace to report.

Zhou Ling didn't follow, after the two sent her back to the Chamber of Commerce, they drove into the palace again, and now the main things of the Chamber of Commerce are taken over by Zhou Ling, originally Ling Yu asked Li Shu to do this, and now Zhou Ling took over, Ling Yu asked Li Shu to train with the new army, and found that Li Shu seemed to be more interested in the army, and he was happy to see it, and when the army was expanded in the future, it was also good to find a background for Li Shu.

There was nothing to say all the way, and soon the two of them came to the imperial study, Zhou Zhengxiong has been handling state affairs conscientiously for ten years, although there are many constraints, but he is also a diligent emperor.

"What, is something happening again? I'm here to wipe your ass. Zhou Zhengxiong saw the two of them come in, rubbed his somewhat sour wrist and said with a smile, Zhou Zhengxiong has helped them deal with a lot of things during this time, although they are not a big deal, so every time he sees the two of them in the future, Zhou Zhengxiong will ask this.

"Erchen (Weichen) see Father Emperor (Your Majesty)." The two approached and bowed.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what's the matter, I don't know if I'm very busy." Zhou Zhengxiong waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, just now Weichen heard that it had rained heavily in Henan recently and the Yellow River was unstable, so he thought of a local solution, hoping to help Your Majesty." Ling Yu glanced at Zhou Shaobin, and when he saw that he signaled himself to come to report, he no longer hesitated to report.

"Oh? If you can solve this problem, I will give you a great credit. Zhou Zhengxiong was very happy when he heard Ling Yu say that there was a way, and once again sighed at the talent of his old friend's disciple, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Weichen made a simple spirit guide, carved the runes of the earthen wall, fixed it on the river embankment, and activated it with the spirit crystal, thinking that it can resist this flood and keep the embankment from breaking the embankment, you only need to send someone to replace the spirit crystal regularly, but the way to cure the symptoms of this matter can only be used for a while, after the rainy season, you still need to strengthen the river embankment again." Ling Yu reported respectfully.

"That's very good, Ling Aiqing's matter is up to you, I allow you to bring the new army over, and the local officials and garrisons can also be at your disposal, in addition to reinforcing the river embankment, there is also to prevent people from making trouble, remember to be cautious." Zhou Zhengxiong took a deep look at Ling Yu and explained.

Ling Yu was a little stunned, he could understand sending him to deal with it, but why did he have to bring an army, was this thing dangerous? Someone's making a mistake? Does anyone dare to risk the world's greatness to destroy the river embankment and flood Henan?

Ling Yu glanced at Zhou Shaobin, and saw that he was also at a loss, so he knew that Zhou Shaobin probably didn't know about it, but Ling Yu could also roughly guess that maybe the people of the Zhao family or the Qian family were restless again, and wanted to take advantage of this disaster at such a time to consume the power of the imperial court.

"Wechen obeys." Ling Yu didn't think much about it, this matter should be well guarded, even if someone really dared to make trouble, he had full confidence in the new army he had trained, although it was impossible to take all of them out, but even if only some of them were taken out, it was not something that ordinary people could stop.

"Well, that's fine, I'll give you a title later, so that you can do things conveniently, give you two days to prepare, and you will set off in two days." Zhou Zhengxiong saw that Ling Yu seemed to have thought of something, and said with relief, secretly praising Ling Yu for being smart.

"Bin'er, when Ling Aiqing is away, you have to take over his current affairs and do a good job, don't let your father down." Zhou Zhengxiong glanced at Zhou Shaobin, who was eager to follow, and said, it was not that he was afraid that he would be in danger, but what Ling Yu did was only known to Zhou Shaobin, and it was most appropriate and reassuring for him to take over.

"Ah, my son obeys." Zhou Shaobin's excited expression instantly became bitter, and he thought that he could go out with him, but his father sent him another task, and it seemed that he couldn't go.

After explaining the matter, Zhou Zhengxiong asked the two to retreat, and then instructed Yucheng, who was waiting on the side, to draft the decree, and then continued to deal with the chapter.

On the way out, Zhou Shaobin complained with a bitter face: "Brother Ling, it seems that I don't have a chance to go out this time to raise my posture, and the farthest place from childhood to adulthood has only been to the base of the Academy of Sciences now, which is really uncomfortable." "As the prince, of course he can't have the opportunity to go out, after all, he is the only heir of the current emperor, so naturally it is impossible to follow him, and the son of a daughter can't sit down.

"Okay, baked cakes, you have enjoyed the ultimate wealth in the world, and you will be honored in the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, there will be gains and losses, how can the good things in this world be taken up by you alone, be content, brother and I are the hard worker." Ling Yu said with a smile, since he entered the court, he has not had a few days of leisure, but he has no regrets, the deeper he understands the current situation, the more he can feel his heavy burden, in order to let the Great Zhou let the Chinese people stand on the top of the world, no matter how hard and tired he is, he will not complain, since the crossing, he gradually feels that his ideals are becoming clearer and clearer.
