Following.

Early in the morning of the second day, after changing into a set of clothes that were easy to move, Tao Mingxi followed Xing Tianze out of the door.

It took about half an hour from the post station to the southern boundary of the city, and after getting off the carriage, he followed him to the designated place.

Xing Tianze said to the other party as he walked: "This is the place that caused the flood, and the place further one mile has basically been flooded, and the flood has not receded much, at least one foot high." And every time it rains over there, it will easily cause flooding, and this time the more serious ones will directly break down the wall that was erected before, and I am afraid that I will have to abandon that place......"

Tao Mingxi listened carefully and asked again, "Can the prince take me over there to have a look." ”

"Hmm." Although he didn't understand the other party's intentions, Xing Tianze still nodded and led the other party all the way forward.

Tao Mingxi observed the terrain, the flood that flooded the village has not yet receded, and if you walk in, you will at least soak your waist, this kind of place is really a bit dangerous.

But a few miles from the end of these floods is a wide river, and the water is deeper near the river, and a slightly shorter person can drown if he walks in.

Walking downstream along the river, because the river was very fast, and the water level was much higher than usual, Xing Tianze was a little worried, and couldn't help but reach out to hold the other party's hand.

Tao Mingxi was slightly stunned and wanted to break free, but Xing Tianze reacted faster than her, and immediately spoke: "This road is too dangerous, if you are not careful, you will fall below, this king will pull you like this, it will be much safer for this king to pull you like this." ”

Tao Mingxi still resisted a little in his heart, but it was not easy to argue when he heard the other party say this, so he had to recognize him and lead him, and he also kept an eye on it when he walked, and became more careful.

I don't know how long I walked to the lower reaches of the river, but at the end of the river was a clearing, and beyond that there were woods.

Tao Mingxi didn't care about anything clean at this time, so he found a place to sit down at random, rubbed his sore legs, and asked, "Lord Wang, how far do you have to go here to see other rivers?" ”

"Thirty miles." Xing Tianze had known all of this before he came, so he didn't hesitate or think too much when he opened his mouth to answer.

"Thirty miles is not very far, as long as the river on this side is connected to the river on that side, the flood will inevitably recede automatically, and the matter will be solved?" Tao Mingxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, don't think about blocking it all day long, once you dig it through like this, there will be no problems.

Xing Tianze's face changed slightly when he heard this, and there was a hint of sudden realization, he had never thought that he could be like this! I have always wanted to abandon the flooded areas in the south of the city, and then build new walls to isolate the floods and keep Huailing County peaceful.

Now when I heard Tao Mingxi say this, I suddenly reacted, why bother to block it? Isn't it more useful than this to dredge? Moreover, as long as the river is dredged and the houses in the south of the city are repaired, there will be no overcrowding.

"The princess's idea is really peculiar!" Xing Tianze turned his head to look at the other party, his heart was full of excitement, and he spoke.

Tao Mingxi didn't know what was going on with the other party's strange face now, so he asked indifferently, "Does the prince think this is not feasible?" ”

"No, this strategy of yours is very useful, and this king will arrange it as soon as possible." Xing Tianze immediately shook his head, looking like he was relieved of the other party, and his tone was very eager when he spoke.

"Hmm......" Tao Mingxi nodded, he always felt that the other party looked weird now, it wouldn't be stimulated by something, right?

Xing Tianze is in a very good mood now, although Tao Mingxi's ideas are very different from ordinary people's thinking, but undoubtedly, her ideas are much more useful than the strategies that ordinary people come up with!

It's just that after thinking about it in his heart, Xing Tianze suddenly remembered something, and his joy receded a little.

The plan that Tao Mingxi said is very ideal, but if it is really to be implemented, it is not so easy!

Thirty miles may not sound like a long journey, at least in two or three hours, but it is another matter to dig two rivers through.

Junyi's brows furrowed slightly, and Xing Tianze opened his mouth and said to the woman beside him, "But at present, there is a lack of manpower, and it is not so easy to dig through the river, and I am afraid that it will not be enough for half a year to really implement it." ”

"There are a lot of people in Huailing County, right?" Tao Mingxi was surprised, sure enough, it was still too backward in ancient times, just digging such a road, it would take half a year, and then there would be a few more rainstorms, I am afraid that the flood has already flooded the entire county, what else to say about dredging?

"There are a lot of people, but the people have their own jobs, and who would want to dig the river? If they paid an honorarium, they might agree, but the money given by the imperial court was completely insufficient,......" Xing Tianze spoke, feeling that although this plan sounded very good, it was really not practical to implement it.

Most of the money given to him by the imperial court had to be used for disaster relief, and the remaining small part was not enough to hire people.

"Who said they were going to let those people go?" Tao Mingxi glanced at the other party helplessly, and then he reacted, the two were not on the same channel at all: "There should be a lot of strong and healthy refugees in the south of the city who have suffered from the flood, right?" The court gave so much money to help them, so wouldn't it be better for them to help with the work? ”

In her eyes, labor has always been proportional to the reward, and those refugees may have suffered misfortunes, but why should they wait for others to help them do nothing empty-handed?

If it were her, she would never have reached out to see that bunch of people dying there!

"That's a way to go." The problem that Xing Tianze thought in his heart was solved by the other party in a few words, and suddenly felt that the feeling of suffocation had disappeared without a trace, and nodded slightly,

"This king will arrange it after he goes back, and let those refugees who are strong and able to work come out to help, and if they are really not good, the old, weak, sick and disabled, so they will be settled in the refugee area first."

Tao Mingxi's eyes changed slightly, and Xing Tianze thought of it with her.

"The princess is very intelligent, and this king is ashamed of himself." On the way back for the two, Xing Tianze turned his head to look at each other and said something sincerely.

Tao Mingxi has completely subverted his perception of women, she is not like the usual ladies, but she uses another method to bloom with her unique brilliance, which fascinates him.
