"It's only enough porridge for the people to eat for ten days!" Li Yuan's brows furrowed tightly, thinking of the letter sent by Chen Zhurong, his brows expanded a little, "But the eighth prince has sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the rice and grain will arrive within ten days, so that the official does not need to worry!" ”

Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Yuanzuo: "My lord, I want to take a look at the blockage of the river tomorrow and meet with the water conservancy officials, can you?" ”

Seeing Li Yuan's puzzled look, she added: "I have also read some books on water conservancy in Xia, and I hope to help one or two." ”

“…… All right. Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you Gongzi Chen for bothering." ”

Chen Ling got up and said, "You're welcome!" ”

After that, she went to the inn under Xiaolin's charter and rested.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door, making a "bang" sound.

Chen Ling got up and opened the door to see that it was Xiao Lin, and rubbed his eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Lin said: "The rice and grain purchased by the master from Nanhe City will arrive in Xiahe City the day after tomorrow, and the master will let us distribute the rice and grain to the people as soon as it is delivered, and this matter still needs to be handled by Chen Gongzi." ”

Chen Ling touched his head, thinking that it was a temporary arrangement, combined with the scene of blocking, and then asked, "Do you have to distribute food in Xiahe City?" I'm afraid that in this way, the people of Xiahe City will not know about the good of the Seventh Prince, but will make them more grateful to Lord Qincha who came here. ”

If this is the case, the seventh prince will obviously not be able to get any benefits by paying for food and being a good person, but if it is clear that this is the seventh prince's, it will make the eighth prince feel that Ouyang Yu is robbing him of credit.

Listening to Chen Ling's words, Xiao Lin shook his head and only said, "The master didn't say this. ”

"Find a place where you can settle down along the route of the transfer of refugees, send the food over first, and when the eighth prince comes, you and I will transfer the position and go there directly to distribute the food." The corners of Chen Ling's mouth hooked, and his face was full of confidence, "I have done good things, but I don't arouse suspicion." ”

When Xiao Lin heard this, he raised his hand and said, "Yes." ”

The next day, Chen Ling got up early, went to the yafu after eating, followed Li Yuan to the river, and watched the five people all discussing the predicament in front of them with dark circles and sad faces.

Chen Ling also shook his head and asked, "You should be the water conservancy officials sent by Wang Cheng!" Under Chen Ling, it is the guest secretary of the king. ”

Hearing that it was Ouyang Yu's guest qing, the five of them all looked at Li Yuan's side, the man who was shorter than them all but handsome and extraordinary, with heroic spirit on his thick eyebrows, and his hands and feet were all in the demeanor of a son.

One of the officials said, "Chen Gongzi, I wonder if you have any plans for coming here?" ”

The others also made a gesture at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling opened the folding fan, and the appearance of shaking the wind was somewhat similar to Ouyang Yu: "I've heard a few things here, but I don't know the specific situation and how many methods you used." ”

When the water conservancy personnel heard this, there was a glimmer of hope in their tired eyes, and they told her the details of the matter, and then sighed: "It is extremely difficult to curb the flood on such a rainy day!" ”

Chen Ling nodded, looking at the river in front of him that was so big that he couldn't see the other bank, only to know that the dilemma in front of him could be solved by abnormal means, and after thinking about a modern solution for a long time, he couldn't think of a better way than them, so he could only ask: "When the weather is good, after dredging this river, what are you going to do?" ”

"Rebuild the levees."

The others nodded their heads as well.

Chen Ling shook his head and said, "No! If you want to go down to the river city forever, you can only sparse it, but you can't block it. ”

"Can only be sparse?" The water conservancy personnel were blindfolded.

Chen Ling nodded: "Dig out a river channel and divert the river water." In this way, no matter how heavy the rain is, there will be no danger of flooding the city now. ”

The water conservancy personnel suddenly realized that this method is indeed available in ancient books, but this lower river is very large, and it is tightly one or two, which is of no help at all.

Chen Ling only smiled and said, "One is not enough, and two are enough." Rather than let the man risk blocking it here now, it is better to wait for the river to be dredged after this rainstorm and dig a few branches upstream. ”

"Thank you Chen Gongzi for your advice."

"You're welcome." Chen Ling said, "I can only talk about it, if I let it be operated, I'm afraid I will have to look foreign!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Li Yuan led Chen Ling back, but unexpectedly on the way back, he met a group of people who buried the dead once a day, all of whom were drowned and floated to the bank of the river to be salvaged by them.

She counted, there were more than twenty people, and frowned: "These are all strong men, all sacrificed for blocking?" So many people every day? ”

Li Yuan nodded silently, with a heavy face: "There are quite few salvaged people today, and there will be less than a hundred people when I go back tomorrow."

Chen Ling looked at the people sitting on the road with desperate faces, many of whom were seriously ill, and asked, "Then how many other people die every day?" ”

"There are more than 20 people who have reported it, and the officials who have not reported it do not know." Li Yuan sighed, "Although the official recruited many doctors at a high price, they all ran away later. They had nowhere to seek medical treatment but to die. ”

Unexpectedly, a natural disaster in ancient times could flood a city, Chen Ling really felt the sorrow of Xiahe City, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, said goodbye to Li Yuan, and returned to the inn with a pale face.

Just as she washed her face and changed her clothes and drank the ginger soup, Li Yuan hurried over and said to her anxiously: "Chen Gongzi, there are a large number of patients with similar symptoms in Xijiao County, you should go with this official to check one or two." ”

Chen Ling nodded, and then said, "Quickly find a doctor to go with!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Li Yuan immediately sent someone to find the only doctor in the city and rushed to Xijiao County, and arrived at dusk. As soon as they stepped inside, they smelled the thick stench of corpses.

Chen Ling covered his mouth and nose, and as soon as he took two steps, he saw a bunch of men, women, and children running towards them, their faces were hideous, and they couldn't help but retreat back, and the catchers immediately blocked the front.

"You have to save me! Yesterday my husband and children all died! ”

"A few days ago, the county master said that he would go to the prefect for help, but he never came back! Are you prefects? Are you here to save us?! ”

……

Countless voices came in one place, and the civilians in front of them shed tears one by one and cried about injustice.

"This official is the prefect of Xiahe City." Li Yuan frowned, although he was displeased, he was still gentle and authentic, but countless voices drowned out his words, so he couldn't help but raise his voice and stern a little, "Don't be impatient!" Calm down! This official will call the shots for you! You line up first, and let the doctors diagnose and treat them one by one! ”
