Henan Province is centered on Luoyang, covering hundreds of nearby counties, large and small, with countless fertile fields.

These fields nominally belong to one person, the blessed king. Zhu Yousong does not produce, but he also knows the importance of water conservancy.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he has set the Yellow River's dredging system of "one small pick in three years and one big pick in five years". Originally, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's system, the sediment in the river would have been disposed of every three or five years, and the current situation would not have occurred.

However, the annual expenses allocated by the imperial court have already entered the pockets of officials, large and small. The riverbed is rising day by day, and the Yellow Flood area is flooding year after year.

In June, a sudden rainstorm broke through the fragile river embankment, and the entire county near Luoyang became the hardest hit area.

Zhu Yousong was wearing a robe, standing tall, looking at the countless human hands under him, carrying tools, dredging the river and mending the gaps.

"It's ridiculous! Henan Province drought for a year, a rain turned into a flood, this time the people were killed and injured no less than 1,000 people, the loss of money and grain is more than 10,000, this account, must be counted on the officials who manage the river along the way! ”

Ma Shiying was behind him, holding an umbrella for Zhu Yousong, standing in the rain by himself, and said, "Lord Wang, it's dangerous here, you better go back to the city." ”

Zhu Yousong turned his head, looked at Ma Shiying, who was covered with rain, and said, "Shiying, why don't you speak, I said that this account should be counted on the officials in charge of the river." ”

"Lord Wang, now we are in an embarrassing situation, if we act rashly, I am afraid it will increase the truth of the imperial court. It's better to write down this account and calculate it later. ”

Although Zhu Yousong was furious, he also knew that what he said was the truth, and he was a vassal king, how could he judge the merits and demerits of officials. He stamped his foot in hatred, turned and walked towards his carriage, the guards following closely.

The disaster caused by this torrential rain soon spread throughout Henan, and the three state capitals of Kaifeng, Guide, and Henan were the most affected on the river.

Zhu You's spiritual inspection machine moved, and sent a message to Luoyang, and King Fu was responsible for disaster relief. Ma Shiying took the holy decree and hurried to the palace, Zhu Yousong was following Yue Yingying to practice a set of Taizu Changquan to strengthen his body, and when he heard that Ma Shiying was coming, he rushed out without changing his clothes.

When Ma Shiying saw him, he said without greeting him: "Lord, there is a will in the capital to let you preside over disaster relief." ”

Zhu Yousong was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "I, a vassal king, should donate some money and food in the event of a natural disaster, but presiding over disaster relief, which one is this?" ”

"The court's move must have a deep meaning, but it is just that my brother is stupid and difficult to understand."

Zhu Yousong couldn't figure out what Chongzhen was trying to do, but what was certain was that this grandson must not be well-intentioned.

"Let's go, go to Zhou Shuye and discuss."

The two came to the outer palace of the palace, although Zhou Shuye's identity has changed greatly, he is a celebrity in the palace, but he has been living in the small house that he was given back from the drunken immortal building.

Although the place is small, it has all kinds of organs, and there is even a small courtyard. Zhu Yousong got out of the carriage and found that there was already a car parked here, looking at its shape, Zhu Yousong recognized it as his favorite concubine, Su Yue's frame.

Since the last time Zhou Shuye was in prison, the line of life and death has gone once, and the relationship between father and daughter has improved by leaps and bounds.

Zhu Yousong shouted outside the door, and waited for a moment before pushing the door in, and Zhou Shuye's father and daughter had already greeted him.

There are only Zhou Shuye's father and daughter in the house, and Su Yue's personal maid, Ji'er. In the narrow window, only a little sunlight could shine in, and the whole room looked a little dim.

There is a small table in the room, on which there are four exquisite home-cooked dishes, and the chopsticks have not been moved. The three of them were very happy to see them come in, especially Su Yue, who had never left Zhu Yousong with a pair of eyes like water.

"Okay, I'm here to eat behind my back, such a delicate dish, I know at a glance that Yue'er is cooking it herself."

Zhou Shuye bowed his head, smiled humbly, and said, "If the prince likes it, Yingzi will definitely be happy and not in a hurry." ”

Zhu Yousong quipped: "You are also a person who has been the first genius on the bank of the Luoshui River, and you actually gave your daughter a name like Zhou Yingzi, I don't know if you thought it was obtained by a country aunt." ”

Zhou Shuye smiled, Su Yueqiao blushed, and said: "When the master comes here, there must be something to discuss, so the slave and Ji'er will leave first." ”

Zhu Yousong sat down on the top and said, "Don't be in a hurry, it's better to come early than to come by chance, let's eat here before leaving." Shiying, sit, taste my Yue'er's craftsmanship. ”

A hint of joy flashed in the corner of Su Yue's eyes, and she ordered, "Go and add two bowls and chopsticks." The little girl Ji'er responded sweetly, turned around and went to the food box next to her, and took out two new dishes and chopsticks. Su Yue took it and stood beside Zhu Yousong playfully, serving him to eat.

Zhu Yousong said the inexplicable will of the imperial court, Zhou Shuye lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "The prince doesn't have to worry, it's just some ghost tricks, and it won't be a big deal." ”

Zhu Yousong gently moved the wine glass, and Su Yue took the wine jug from Ji'er, who was standing aside with the wine jug, and filled it for him.

Zhu Yousong drank it all and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the court has bad intentions towards the prince, this time Henan Mansion encountered the Yellow Plague, his will is down, if the prince tries his best to provide disaster relief, it is estimated that it will cost our palace some money and food. If the prince is false and wronged, the disaster worsens, and when the time comes, the prince will tear his face, and the prince will be charged with one more crime. ”

Zhu Yousong then asked: "In this case, his strategy is not only very vicious, but also very disgusting, why do you say that it is not a big deal?" ”

"Lord, our palace has a lot of handles, just one Wei Zhongxian, he listed four for us in the court, and I am afraid that one more disaster relief will not be effective?" Zhu Yousong thought about it, laughed, and said: "Yes, this emperor is not arrogant, you continue." ”

Zhou Shuye is accustomed to looking at people's minds, and knows that Zhu Yousong will most likely not be false and wronged, this prince has a bad reputation, but what he does can afford the evaluation of a person who loves the people like a son.

"Our emperor miscalculated, this is a good opportunity to buy the hearts of the people, but he gave it to a vassal king, hehe, he is still a vassal king who is not very peaceful."

Ma Shiying nodded again and again, and said secretly, this cripple really has a set, no wonder the little prince sent the capital to save him.

Hearing Zhou Shuye's comment that he didn't ask for peace, Zhu Yousong didn't care, but was a little happy, and said: "Yes, this disaster relief is promising." As long as I operate properly, the hearts of the people of the entire Luoyang will be on my Fuwang Mansion. ”
