"Your Majesty atons for your sins. At this time, Cheng Wanli didn't dare to give Lu Qian a package ticket, saying that a section of the embankment in Muzhou City was unobstructed.

Opposite Muzhou City is Shenquan Town, which is separated by the confluence of Anjiang River and Qingxi. The dam project was built because the water level rose sharply during the rainy season. But now the construction of the diversion dam has not yet been completed, and there is no use for birds. If the water at the confluence really breaks the embankment in Shenquan Town, it affects the water distribution dam, and the damage will not be small.

Muju Taishou probably thought the same way, so he proposed to create a gap in the upper reaches of the Anjiang River to reduce the pressure at the confluence and reduce the risk of the diversion dam. The dam has not yet been built, and once the water has passed, it will be all over. The loss is too great! It's just that this is really that.

But then again, as a local magistrate, Muzhou Taishou knows the local water situation in Muzhou the most, if it is not a last resort, how can he dare to risk such a big disapproval?

This seems to be a proposal, but it seems that it will not work, and it can be discussed again.

Actually?

It's no wonder that Emperor Lu didn't get angry and got angry, and he suddenly asked Cheng Wanli to sit on wax.

The construction of the dam is an invention made by Emperor Lu himself, that is, to open a large canal in the narrow part of the river, and divert the water during the flood season, which is also used for irrigation. The effect is remarkable, and it has been built in many places since its inception.

"What is the imperial court building the embankment for?" The dam is also a river control project. "In order not to open the mouth and use the place where the people live as a flood discharge area, so that the people will not suffer from floods. It's very simple to open the mouth, but the villages, the people, the houses, the cattle and sheep, all go down the drain. That is, how long will it take for the relief of the imperial court to be restored? ”

When necessary, give up the small to take the big, Lu Qian naturally has this sense. But how can we compensate for the loss of the 'flood zone'?

People are all equal, so why should they exchange their interests for the interests of the people of Muzhou City or Shenquan Town?

The flood is ruthless, and as soon as the dam is opened, the people in the flood discharge area will be urgently relocated, and the loss will never be compensated for by the imperial court's relief and exemption from taxation.

"What ......?" Cheng Wanli secretly glanced at Xiao Jiasui, the second assistant, who had already gone to northern Hubei to take up the town.

The water level of the Yangtze River has risen sharply, and there has been a storm in northern Hubei to discharge the flood before, how can Xu Guanzhong still sit in Jinling City?

"Your Majesty is angry. The minister thought that the local officials of Muzhou water situation should be the most informed, and the minister thought that he should reply as soon as possible and let him make his own decision. Don't hesitate to make a decision, so that the water overflows and the damage is even greater. ”

Xiao Jiasui spoke really well, and kicked the ball directly.

Although this matter is related to Emperor Lu's face, the water situation in Muzhou is also related to the lives and property safety of hundreds of thousands of Muzhou people. Which of the two is more important, in the Tang and Song dynasties and other previous dynasties, the former should be the superior; But in the Lu Qi Dynasty, Xiao Jiasui believed that Emperor Lu cared more about the latter.

And since the Muzhou Taishou has been on such a setback, he should know what it means!

Things have come to this point, let him play his last role, and then wait for the consequences for him, at his own risk.

……

Hangzhou Governor Yamen.

As the political center of the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang, at this critical moment, it is naturally brightly lit. It's just that Li Guang, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has long been out of Hangzhou, and only King Fu Lu Wan is here. Chen Wang Lu Chuan and Li Guang, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, had already braved the wind and rain after receiving the Shangshu from Muzhou, and galloped to Muzhou.

"Li Xianggong, you know, the construction of the Shenquan Dam has cost nearly one million for more than a year, and there are hundreds of thousands of donations from all walks of life in Muzhou. And if the project is washed away by the water, not only will the huge water distribution dam be wasted, but more than 100 villages and 10,000 hectares of fertile land on the other side will also be submerged, and tens of thousands of people will lose their homes. Moreover, the area is very extensive, and it is too late to inform the people to evacuate now. That's why the lower officials made this decision. ”

"And thirty miles from the state city to Anjiang, there are many low-lying lands there, and there are few people. And most of the middle-aged people in the village have been berm on the river. As long as the notice is given, the old and weak women and children are withdrawn, and no one dies in the flood, and as for the loss of houses, livestock, and other property, the lower officials will guarantee to give full compensation even if they lose their pants. Therefore, the advantages of breaking the gap there and dividing the flood and reducing the flood far outweigh the disadvantages. ”

"The heavy rain in Muzhou continues, the water level of Anjiang and Qingxi continues to rise, and the water level outside Muzhou changes three times a day. If it's not a crisis, you can't be lazy, otherwise why would the lower officials bother to cut off their future? Lu Ren said bitterly, slapped the emperor's face, can it be good? He didn't think about his future anymore.

"There are people in both places, and they are all His Majesty's people, and where the flood reduction loss is the smallest, it should be decided. The lower officials dare to ask the prime minister to think twice. ”

If so, just before the reply to Muzhou in Jinling City arrived in Muzhou, a hole had been artificially dug in the embankment of the Anjiang River.

"Your Highness is righteous, and you are fair." If it weren't for the disagreement with Yu Li, Lu Ren would have wanted to kneel down to Lu Chuan and Li Guang!

Lu Chuan frowned and looked at Li Guang, this person is a good official with responsibility, from him Lu Chuan seems to be able to see the figure of the old head Fu Zongze, who has died of illness for several years. He really didn't want to see Li Guang's future ruined.

"Li Xianggong doesn't want to argue with Xiao Wang." It's up to him to bear the sin of breaking the flood, he's a son. It is understood that it will sweep the old man's face, it will make the old man angry, and there is no need to worry about being cut.

"Your Highness, don't be stubborn. This official is the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he is the parent of the people of Muzhou. Li Guang thought a lot in his heart, but when he made up his mind, all the distracting thoughts disappeared.

"After the order is issued, the officials of the Muzhou Government Office will immediately go to the scheduled flood distribution area and inform the people to evacuate, and I will evacuate everyone outside the area. After dark, the embankment burst to release water. ”

Li Guang's decision immediately spread in Muzhou City.

Embankment outside the city, headquarters.

"Father!" Li Mengol, who is less than ten years old, looked at his father and was full of incomprehension. Li Guang, his father actually took the initiative to endorse Lu Ren, isn't this self-defeating future?

Li Mengol is Li Guang's third son, his two elder brothers have already served abroad, and the younger brother is still young, and he is the only one who always accompanies Li Guang.

Li Mengol, who had been staying on the river embankment, heard that it was his father who endorsed Lu Ren, and opened the flood outlet, and the whole person was in a trance and almost fell into the mud.

Isn't that looking for something to do?

Li Mengol's first reaction after standing up straight was to stop his father and ask him not to be stupid. But he soon realized that it was too late.

This cauldron has already pressed on the top of the Li family's heads, and it is too late to say anything.

He could think of the picture of the emperor in Jinling City who was furious when he heard the news, and then his father, who was 'leaning forward and repressing', quickly returned to his hometown with a relaxed body. Tens of millions, tens of millions, the emperor should not be merciful and wipe out all his titles.

As the first batch of feudal officials in the Lu Qi Dynasty, Li Guang only got the title of "Chengjizi" because he had no martial arts, and his family was after the Li Tang clan, and the ancestral home of the Li Tang family was Longxi Chengji.

Viscount, this is already precious.

Looking at the number of nobles after the founding of the country, you can understand the meaning of this "viscount". At the very least, it will ensure the status of the Li family.

It's just that now that the overall situation is irreparable, Li Mengol will not go to his father to make trouble, and let people see the jokes and look down on their Li family. It will also make those who benefit from it dissatisfied. How could Li Mengol be such an unwise person?

Li Guang came to the embankment outside the city in the afternoon, and when the father and son met, Li Mengol began to explain his thoughts.

As a result, he was greeted by Li Guang's angry rebuke: "Evil obstacles! ”

"The books have been read into the dog's belly, how could I, Li Guang, give birth to such an evil obstacle as you!?"

He Li Guang dare not say that he is a perfect person in his life, but he is by no means a villain who is greedy for fame and fortune. Li Mengol, the son who has been by his side for two years, how did he go astray?

Li Guang suddenly reflected on his mistake, it was really wrong, otherwise why didn't he find out that his son had taken the wrong path?

However, it is good to reflect on this and put it down first, Li Guang, who is holding a bamboo whip in his hand and his eyes are shining, thinks that his top priority is to teach his son a lesson first!

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Evil obstacles, you remember to the old man, the official, the parents of the people!"
