Chapter 137: The Levee Bursts

"Back to Your Majesty, there has been no official document from the cabinet lords in the study!" Long Bing said aggrievedly. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info ◎ Literature Museum r/>
"Not yet?" Hu Hai didn't notice the change in Long Bing's expression, turned around and looked at the heavy rain that connected the whole world into a rain world, and said to himself.
No news, that's the best news!
Hu Hai immediately cleaned up his mood, turned around and walked towards the dormitory, and said with a smile: "Then sleep!"
As soon as he took two steps, Hu Hai seemed to think of something, stopped and turned his head to look at Long Bing and Long Xue and said, "Two beauties, do you want everyone to sleep together?" ”
Long Bing and Long Xue looked at the young emperor with a look on his face, he was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, and covered his face with a "sigh", but there was no back.
A typical look of Ren Jun picking!
Looking at the two twin sisters who are infinitely shy, it is absolutely impossible to say that Hu Hai is not moved or fluctuating. What Long Jiao said on the brocade couch just now, you don't have to think about it just by looking at the two girls who are full of spring to know that there must be no one left to listen.
What kind of garlic did you just put in front of Long Jiao. If you bring the two girls to bed at this time, won't you slap yourself in the mouth?
Just as Hu Hai was pondering how to get past it, a rush of footsteps came from far and near.
Something happened!
"Your Majesty, several cabinet lords ask to see you!" Before the thought fell, Wang Yan's treacherous voice sounded outside the hall.
Wang Yan is in charge of Xianyang Palace, basically all the big and small things in Xianyang Palace are managed by him, so he naturally knows where the emperor is staying tonight, and he also knows that the two sisters who rarely leave the emperor's side must be keeping vigil in the palace, so this is naturally said to the two sisters Long Bing and Long Xue.
"Go and lead you to the study, I'll be there later!"
Before Long Bing could speak, Hu Hai spoke up.
"Your Majesty obeys!"
Wang Yan pouted his ass and stepped back cautiously. Then he went down the cloister to give orders. In the entire Xianyang Palace, except for those forbidden soldiers who guarded the door, there was only one able-bodied man. Wang Yan naturally knew who was answering.
Here, Long Bing and Long Xue also woke up from their shyness, and hurriedly helped Hu Hai change his clothes.
……
But at tea time, Hu Hai arrived at the emperor's study.
Stopping Wei Yu and the others from saluting, Hu Hai hurriedly said: "But the Yellow River has burst?" ”
Wei Yi, Ying Teng, and Feng Qujian glanced at each other, and finally Ying Teng got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, an hour ago, due to the sharp increase in rain, the Wei River, Fengshui, and Bashui in Zhengxian, Xiatai, and Liyang all broke the embankment!" ”
Said here. Ying Teng wants to speak and stop!
"When is it, and where else is the levee broken? Say it all! Hu Hai strode to the giant map in the study, glanced back at Yingteng and snorted.
"Back to Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from Julu that the mainland in Julu has collapsed. The flood rushed all the way into Julu City, and now Julu City has become the country of Hongze! Taiyuan County Shou Zuo came to report that the Yellow River in Taiyuan began to burst its embankment from Wu County, and the Yellow River began to be diverted from the east of Wu County, all the way to the southeast, including Taiyuan and Shangdang more than 100 counties within more than 1,000 miles of floods! ”
After Ying Teng finished speaking, he secretly wiped the cold sweat on his head and glanced at Hu Hai, who was facing away from everyone.
The news. It's really earth-shattering.
It was Ying Teng who was on duty in the cabinet tonight, so as soon as he received the news, Ying Teng called the remaining four auxiliary ministers of the cabinet who had already slept in their respective mansions and discussed the tea time. In the end, they decided to join forces to ask to see Hu Hai.
Hu Hai has attached great importance to the floods in various places in the past few days, and the cabinet officials are naturally clear. The emperor, who had not seen anyone for a few days, was now basically staying in the emperor's study, waiting for an urgent report from the cabinet to solve it in time.
The five of them naturally knew. What the emperor was most worried about was actually the mainland and the Yellow River in Julu and Taiyuan counties. It's just that he didn't expect it, but he was afraid of whatever he wanted.
Now, not only the mainland Ze has directly flooded Julu City. The Yellow River in Wu County in Taiyuan really broke its embankment and diverted its course, turning almost all the counties of Shangdang County downstream into the land of water.
How many people should be affected? And how many people should be buried in this once-in-a-century flood?
Hu Hai didn't speak, and the other five auxiliary ministers in the study didn't dare to make a sound!
"Tell me what you think!"
After a long time, Hu Hai's deep voice sounded again in the emperor's study.
"This ......" Ying Teng was a little dumbfounded for a while.
When the five of them received the news, they discussed whether to send the news to the palace overnight to tell Hu Hai, but they didn't have time to discuss how to solve and deal with the flood.
"Someone comes, pass on the six books and the squire to the council hall immediately. Be quick! ”
Hu Hai didn't dwell on this issue anymore, and ordered directly.
Obviously, in this case, it is definitely necessary for the cabinet and the six ministries to come up with a plan overnight, and if it is only discussed by the five auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, and then implemented tomorrow, although the time is also very fast, but after all, the six ministries are the final executive body.
For such a major event, only the sincere cooperation of all the imperial courts can save the people from fire and water as soon as possible.
Hu Hai could almost see countless people in Shangdang and Hanoi counties struggling in the flood and floating corpses everywhere.
It seems that the management of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, as well as the many rivers in Daqin, must be put on the agenda of Daqin as soon as possible.
Today is the Yellow River, who knows if the next time it will be the Yellow River and the Yangtze River together?
……
Xianyang Palace Council Hall!
The speed at which the six Shangshu and the squire came was very fast, but in less than half an hour, the eighteen important ministers were already wet and all of them had arrived. They all looked embarrassed, but at this moment, they obviously couldn't care so much.
"How are the food, medicinal herbs, tents, and other things that I asked the household to prepare now?" Hu Hai's face sank like water, and as soon as he sat down, he looked directly at Zhang Cang, the head of the household.
"Back to Your Majesty, the grain of Ao Cang has been taken out and loaded into trucks, as long as the labor arrives, it can be transported to the counties at any time! The medicinal herbs and the adults of the hospital have been boiled and packed and ready to be shipped at any time. It's just tents, and Shangfang has only completed 100,000 so far! ”
Zhang Cang wiped a handful of the rain from his head and hurriedly stood up and answered.
"Hmmm! Tonight, Weishui, Fengshui, and Bashui in the internal history are all broken, Julu Continent is flooded Julu City, Taiyuan Yellow River is diverted, and Shangdang and Taiyuan are all become the country of water. Ladies and gentlemen, what are the best strategies to discuss! ”
This is the first large-scale natural disaster faced by the Great Qin Dynasty since Hu Hai took power, and this is not a man-made disaster that can be directly suppressed by a powerful army. The entire Great Qin, from the court to the affected counties, will be subjected to unprecedented tests in this natural disaster.
