Chapter 617: River Governance

Now that the matter of disaster relief has been decided, the top priority now is to send people to the local area to clean up the rivers and dredge the waterways to solve the urgent needs of the local victims.

In fact, there is no suspense about this matter, on the question of who to send, and in today's imperial court, the most suitable candidate is not a second person except for Pan Jitao, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works.

Pan Jitao was a Jinshi in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, and was awarded the Jiujiang Push Officer at the beginning, and later promoted to the imperial history, inspecting Guangdong, during which he implemented the Junping Li Jia Law, and repelled the local heroes, and was widely loved by the local people, and his reputation in the imperial court was also beginning to appear, leaving a good impression.

By the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, Pan Jitao, who was also forty-four years old, was already the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and at that time he also went one step further, promoted to the right of the imperial history, and what he did was the prime minister's river, and it was from that time that Pan Jitao began his career in controlling Huang, and his life was inseparable from water.

The following year, that is, the second year of Pan Jitao's appointment as the right capital of the imperial history, with the newly dug river to contact the city's rising old river, not only to solve the discipline in the city, but also to retain the river, is to move, Pan Jitao was promoted to a higher level less than a year later, added to the right deputy capital of the imperial history, but because of the death of relatives at home, temporarily resigned, returned to the hometown Ding worry.

As soon as this Ding Wei went, it was twenty-seven months, and after the date expired, Pan Jitao was not in a hurry to return to the court to serve, but continued to stay in his hometown, this is not for any other reason, but his original official position is also extremely important, although Pan Jitao only temporarily resigned and returned to his hometown Ding Wei, but that position cannot be empty all the time, Pan Jitao did not return to the court, not because he didn't want to be an official anymore, but because he didn't want to get into any unnecessary disputes, in that way, not only would he be in trouble, There will also be chaos in the court.

However, his lack of urgency does not mean that others will forget him, the time has reached the fourth year of Longqing, that is, as mentioned earlier, the matter of the river embankment breaking in Pizhou and Suining, now it is nothing, and the matter did not last long before it was flattened, but whether it was a person who had personally experienced that time, or an official who was just listening to the report presented below in the court, all of them guided, the situation at that time was not urgent, not only a large number of people were displaced, and they were flooded by the river that broke the embankment for two days. Many people have already lost their lives in the floods.

Although the damage is serious, but the flood is still a flood after all, and the DPRK and China are not only Pan Jitao who can manage the river, and even replace a person, although he is not as capable and efficient as Pan Jitao, but this matter may not be unable to be solved.

However, the situation at that time was already quite grim, and at that time, whether it was Longqing or others, they were also extremely concerned about this matter, so in order to be safe, the imperial court naturally had to find the most experienced and capable person to ensure that things could be foolproof, so only Pan Jitao could take on this important task.

Therefore, this time, Pan Jitao received the will of the imperial court, restarted as an official, and then served as the responsibility of the prime minister, and after Pan Jitao received the will, he didn't say a word, and he didn't even return to the court to report on his work, and rushed to the "battlefield" after packing up his baggage.

Moreover, Pan Jitao also lived up to his expectations at all, worked hard, and reported to the imperial court the following year, and the construction of the Junhe River was completed.

It's just that Pan Jitao was not rewarded for any credit this time, but was impeached, in fact, he can't be blamed for that incident, because the disaster was serious before, Pan Jitao was just busy rescuing, and didn't pay full attention, yes, several ships used to transport firefoxes sank, and in fact, this matter can't be blamed on his head Pan Jitao, after all, the flood came, a large number of places have been flooded, and some boats have stopped going down the river. Wherever there is water, it will float through.

But even if the boat doesn't go through the river, it is not Pan Jitao's turn to make irresponsible remarks, but in the end, because others don't want to take responsibility, they were impeached by the river survey, and Pan Jitao was bitten back.

And the things in the court are like this, all the merit is not worth it, even if Pan Jitao has meritorious service in governing the river, and there are countless living people, but once this mistake is blamed on his head, then he has also had no merit, and then, Pan Jitao was dismissed, until Gao Gong was dismissed and expelled from the capital, and Zhang Juzheng came to power as the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, Zhang Ju is planning to reactivate Pan Jitao to deal with the situation that will happen in the future and can use him.

However, there were not too many vacancies in the official positions of the DPRK and China at that time, so Pan Jitao could only be allowed to take the position of the right attendant of the Criminal Department, not that the official position given to him was low, after all, the official position of the right attendant of the Criminal Department was also extremely important, and Pan Jitao did quite well, but Pan Jitao always felt that he had learned a little bit of uselessness, after all, his own duty was to manage the river, not to deal with people.

But even if Pan Jitao is so, he is very grateful to Zhang Juzheng, and Pan Jitao himself knows very well in his heart that although he occupies such a position now, Zhang Juzheng just wants him not to be too far away from the goal, otherwise something will happen in the future, but Pan Jitao will need to be used, and if Pan Jitao is in the wild, he will be brought up again at once, and even everyone will understand that Pan Jitao has the strength and qualification, but it will definitely be criticized.

Zhang Juzheng did this, just to warm him up in advance, even if there is something that will be gossiped behind people's back, it is also a matter of the early stage, and when the matter is over, the gossip about Pan Jitao has disappeared, and when it is time for something to happen, then entrust Pan Jitao to be practical, and no one will say anything anymore, and when the time comes, Pan Jitao will definitely not meet anyone who dares to trouble him and delay the right thing on the way to do the right thing.

In short, Pan Jitao is very grateful to Zhang Juzheng, but the reason why Pan Jitao is grateful to Zhang Juzheng is not because he is grateful to him for allowing him to continue to be an official, but because Pan Jitao's current wish is to be able to make the world peaceful, but once there is a natural disaster or something, he also hopes that he can immediately come in handy to relieve the sorrows of the people in the world.

It's just that although Pan Jitao's gratitude to Zhang Juzheng only comes from this, but after such a long time, Pan Jitao's gratitude to Zhang Juzheng is no longer the previous mood of gratitude to him for the sake of the people of the world, among them, private emotions have gradually gained the upper hand, so that later, when Zhang Juzheng died and the whole family suffered, Pan Jitao, who was not implicated too much, couldn't stand the tragic situation of the Zhang family. But he was dismissed, knowing that in the sixteenth year of Wanli, the Yellow River was in trouble again, and everyone was helpless, it was recommended by Mei Guolou and others in the matter at that time, and the reinstatement of the right capital of the imperial history, the governor of the river, the winter of the nineteenth year of Wanli, the family is the prince Taibao, and the Ministry of Industry is still the right capital of the imperial history.

But that's all for later, so let's not mention it at this time.

All in all, although it is not said now, the person who rules the river is already the only one, and everyone present understands this in their hearts.

"The minister recommends ......," Zhang Juzheng continued to speak, "Pan Jitao, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, went to deal with the Huanghuai flood to solve the urgent needs of the local people,"

"Quasi-play," Zhu Yijun naturally heard of Pan Jitao's name, and now it is recommended by Zhang Juzheng, of course, there is nothing to say, and it was immediately approved, but Zhu Yijun still has some doubts in his heart, "It's just that there are two places in the water now, which belong to Huanghuai and Huai, although the distance between the two places is not far away, and Pan Shilang's work in controlling water is also very effective, but Pan Shilang is only one person, and he lacks skills, so it is impossible to go to two places at the same time to control water at the same time, I don't know what kind of prescription Mr. Zhang has for this,"

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter has already been thought about," Zhang Juzheng obviously came prepared, and said, "Although there are floods rampant in the Huanghuai and Huai regions now, and there are countless disasters to the people, but this matter also has a priority, on the other side of the Huai River, although there are many people who are suffering, but in fact, the situation is much better, and no one has died because of this, but on the side of the Yellow River, the situation is very critical, not only several states and counties have been affected, more than 10,000 people have no place to live, and more than 100 people have been buried in the water because of this, Even the corpses are no longer to be found.

"Now, the minister plans to let Pan Shilang go to Henan first to control the floods of the Yellow River, and the Huai River can't be left alone, and Pan Shilang is not the only one in the court.

"This is very good," Zhu Yijun said, "where is Pan Jitao, the waiter of the Ministry of Works,"

"Weichen is here," Pan Jitao walked out and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yijun, waiting for the will.

"You are the responsibility of the governor of the river, and when the meeting is dispersed early, you will report the candidates who will be recommended to go to Nanzhili, and you don't have to delay, and go to Henan immediately," Zhu Yijun said, "After going there and reading it, go up and say how much silver is needed, so that the household can prepare,"

"Weichen obeys," Pan Jitao said again, and then retreated into the crowd.

Now, this matter has been completed, and today's morning dynasty is about to disperse, but everyone understands that this matter will not end because of this, and there is still a very important decision that has not been made.

It's just that many people don't know that that's Zhang Juzheng's real plan.
