Chapter 116 Flood Control

The young man took the steamed bun with both hands, and grabbed it with sacredness and excitement, and gnawed it wildly, obviously it was a white steamed bun without any taste but ate the taste of meat, anyway, it seemed to be very fragrant in the eyes of others. Eventually, some people couldn't resist giving it a try, others followed suit, and in the end, all the victims complied, and the plan went smoothly.

In this way, the hearts of these victims were finally calmed, and in the following days, the person with the fastest hands and feet had completed a book, and indeed received the corresponding payment, which made more people work hard.

Everything returned to calm, and the main contribution to this was the young man, who was sent by Lord Liu to mix in with the refugees to calm people's hearts, and his trick was really effective.

"Thanks to you for helping this official perform such a play, otherwise this official really doesn't know what to do." Lord Liu looked at the young man excitedly, and the young man shook his head to express his gratitude, but there was one more thing that he didn't understand.

"My lord, my subordinates don't understand why you have to work so hard to help that Yan Li. He can't do a big deal by embroidering pillows at all, so what's in it for you to help him like this. My subordinates feel like they're going to drag us down. ”

Lord Liu sighed helplessly, "There's no way, don't help him, in case Your Majesty knows that this Yan Li is a straw bag, he will definitely blame me, and his life will be in danger at that time." ”

The young man also knew Lord Liu's hardships, but he felt that Yan Li was like a bottomless pit, and he couldn't see the end at all. It's just enough to help him once or twice, and it's likely that he'll continue to help him, so tired.

"Your Excellency, why don't you turn yourself in. Explain to Your Majesty in person, maybe you can be lightly haired, and then you can do things for the court in a dignified manner. The boy suggested that there seemed to be no other option for the only solution.

Lord Liu shook his head, "No, Your Majesty is a jealous and hateful person." And the selection conference attaches great importance to her, if she tells him at this time that this official is the worst villain, she will definitely increase her efforts to punish her severely, and it is likely to be a capital crime. "Lord Liu is afraid of death, there is nothing to be ashamed of when you say this, who is not afraid of death and who dares to die.

The boy was silent, since the adults were so worried, there was no need to say it, but I didn't know how long this kind of help would last.

But no matter what, what is presented in front of Yan Zi is that Yan Li does obey the control of the victims, and Bai Ji's method is effective. Then the next thing to solve is the problem of flooding.

Yan Zi once again threw out the thorny questions, and responded to her as the situation a few days ago, they were all quiet, and the audience was silent, and those who didn't know thought they had criticized them.

Hey, it's really helpless, as the king of a country, there are thousands of courtiers, but at the critical moment, there are no people who want them to help out or something, what's the use of them, it's better to only leave Bai Jikao and Sheng Linsheng.

Yan Zi glanced at the civil and military officials, and had to put his hope on Bai Jikao, because he was the only one who could come up with a good way to be different.

"Lord Bai, what are your good suggestions and methods for flooding?"

Bai Jikao smiled proudly, thinking that now he knows how good I am, and now he knows that he can't do without me. Suddenly, he felt that he was very important, and he felt full of confidence, and this time he looked around him to the left and right, and no minister dared to laugh at him. Bai Jikao looked very proud and confident.

"There is only one way to avoid it, and that is to build a dam." The answer was indifferent

"Damming?" Listen to the doubts.

The ministers boiled again, but this time the discussion was very quiet, and everyone didn't dare to do it like last time, for fear that it would be a joke, but this dam construction doesn't seem to be a good idea. After all, dams have been built every year, and it doesn't get better, and it seems that the method proposed by Lord Bai this time is a little inappropriate.

Before the courtiers could discuss right and wrong, Sheng Linsheng first vetoed it.

"Digging ditches and draining water is the way to go. Building a dam will only make the flood water higher and higher, and if it collapses, the entire village will be submerged. It is better to dig a ditch to divert the flood water, divide the flood into many streams to slow down its impact, and also allow the flood water to flow into the crop fields to irrigate the crops. ”

On the contrary, Sheng Linsheng's point of view was supported by many ministers, and in their opinion, only this method was the most feasible. It seems that today's Bai Ji exam is a little confused, everyone thinks so.

However, Bai Jikao didn't think so, looked directly at Sheng Linsheng and asked, "Digging a ditch and draining the water, but General Sheng came up with it alone?" If this official is not mistaken, there are already many local officials in this dynasty who have done this, and there are also many officials in the previous dynasty who have done this. But what is the result? The crops are sparse, and the crops are still unharvested. ”

Bai Ji's words made Sheng Linsheng speechless, but there seemed to be no other good way except digging ditches to drain water and building dams, building dams would only make the flood more and more ferocious, it was definitely a next step, anyway, Sheng Linsheng didn't agree to do this.

But Bai Ji was confident, and it seemed that he still had a plan, Yan Zi was already full of curiosity, and he wanted to know what kind of surprise his unspoken words would bring, "Lord Bai, you seem to have something to say, just say it all." ”

"The minister's meaning is very simple, build a dam and release water, simply flood the entire mountain village, turn this land into a lake, sow fish fry, and become a good place for villagers to raise fish."

"Flooding the village?" There was a lot of discussion below, thinking about how many innocent lives there were in the whole village, how could it be said that they would drown.

"So how do these villagers solve it?" Yan Zi also has the same question, after all, it is also a trouble for so many people to settle down.

Bai Jikao had another idea: "I found a wasteland nearby and reclaimed my life." China's land is vast, and a lot of land is still wasteland, and if these lands are abandoned and not used, it is a waste of natural resources. It's better to take advantage of this opportunity. Your Majesty thinks that it is just a little bit of land to flood a village, and that village has always had a poor harvest, but wouldn't it be profitable to reclaim a piece of wasteland and bring more food to the imperial court? Why should Your Majesty cling to a piece of land that doesn't grow anything at all and give up the idea of finding new resources, isn't this picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons? ”

Bai Jikao's rhetorical question is thought-provoking, there are indeed a lot of wastelands in the great country, but I have always been negligent, I always thought that this place was flooded and drought, so I sent someone to deal with it, and I didn't think about moving to live outside.

"Okay, just do as you say. The imperial court spends a lot of silver taels on flood control every year, and the construction of dams and ditches has not improved the cost of labor and money. It's better to save this money and reclaim the wasteland, maybe there will be another harvest, this is a good idea, I am right. So who should be sent next? ”

This is another troublesome matter, look at the civil and military officials who have achieved nothing, how can she rest assured that she will hand over such an important task to them, but at this time, a female official volunteered to go.

Yan Zi was very surprised, everyone was stunned, thinking that women were rushing to go to places where even men refused to go, this is not surprising. The woman looked white and clean, but she stuttered a little when she spoke, but in any case, she gave them a long face, so Yan Zi had a special impression of her.

"Are you sure you want to go? This is a man's job, a woman is very tired, I see that you are thin and weak may not be able to control the overall situation, what should I do if there is a mess when the time comes? I won't take it lightly just because you're a woman, you know, I don't treat anyone who can be an official together in the court. Yan Zi was sure again and again, but she didn't want to spoil the big thing because of her impulse.

But then the female official replied very affirmatively: "The minister is foaming, willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, and serve the motherland." The answer was categorical, just like a strong man who was about to go on an expedition, and this kind of courage just matched his temper, so Yan Zi took a special look.

"Your surname is also white? Haha, it seems that this matter can't be said without leaving it to you. Well, I'll send someone to accompany you, after all, it's easier for two people to get things done. Liuzhu, you have been practicing martial arts in the military camp for some time, not to mention martial arts, you still know some of the first two moves. Let's go with Lord Shiro. ”

"Yes" Liuzhu also replied as firmly as iron, and there was really a bit of a heroine in her tone, Yan Zi expressed her appreciation for this.

At this time, Xia Wei suddenly stepped forward and asked to go together, Yan Zi didn't understand why he came out to speak, didn't Liuzhu hand over to Sheng Lin Sheng's teaching, even if he spoke, it should be Sheng Lin Sheng, the master who stood up and spoke, when was Xia Wei's turn to speak.

Yan Zi was very curious, looked at the two of them carefully, and found that their faces were flushed crimson, as if the March peach was reflected on the white and tender little face, and instantly understood everything and immediately agreed.

"Okay, the three of you will support each other on the road, complete the task as soon as possible, and I will be here to pick you up."

The three of them went on a sacred and glorious mission.

Since these two incidents, the ministers of the DPRK and China no longer dare to underestimate Bai Jikao's ability, sometimes he seems to be unreliable in his speech, but in fact there are all kinds of big truths, his ideas are different but always bring people success, so everyone no longer dares to underestimate Bai Jikao's whimsy. Yan Zi paid more attention to him and became more and more satisfied.

Invisibly, Sheng Linsheng felt that he was being ignored, because his thoughts were always so mediocre, so it seemed that his existence or not was so irrelevant, and he suddenly felt sour when he thought about it.

So such a drama was staged again, that is, Bai Ji was admitted to the court, and Sheng Linsheng did not go to the court, saying that he was sick and either stayed in the mansion or stayed in the barracks, anyway, he just didn't want to see Bai Ji's examination. Bai Jikao appears every day like a proud victor.
