Shen Huashan's heart fell too early, and the flood situation in Jiangnan Province was more serious than he imagined. Before his heart could return to its original place, not long after dinner, an urgent edict came from the palace, ordering him to enter the palace quickly, and Emperor Changtai had something to discuss with him. Shen Huashan sighed in his heart, at this time, Emperor Changtai also ordered him to enter the palace, could it be that Jiangnan Daoshui has changed? He didn't think much about it, and hurriedly followed the chamberlain to see Emperor Changtai.

Emperor Changtai's face was worried, so he asked Shen Huashan to get up without courtesy, motioned to the chamberlain to hand him an urgent document, and said, "Aiqing take a look." Emperor Changtai felt very irritable and heavy in his heart, recently there have been things around him, first the assassination of Cining Palace, and then the death of Zhenguo Gong, these things have just ended, and now there is such a flood, he can't help but think: Is this a warning from God? Is there something wrong with my governance?

Emperor Changtai's mind Shen Huashan didn't dare to guess, he respectfully took the document, glanced at it a few times, and was shocked when he thought of the meaning of this document. This document was sent urgently by Wei Liangcha, the observer of Hanoi Province, and it was about the floods, and the Dao is that Hanoi Province has also been experiencing frequent floods recently, and disasters have already begun to appear. The letter said that the water level of the Yellow River had risen sharply, especially in the Xinxiang area, and that the water conservancy facilities that had been built before had not been dredged but had instead stored water potential in the area. Now those water conservancy facilities have been flooded, if the rain continues and the water level continues to skyrocket, once the Yellow River is shortage, the consequences are unimaginable! At present, he has stepped up to inform the officials of the danger and arrange for the evacuation of the people in these places.

Shen Huashan was familiar with the trend of the Dayong water system, and through Wei Liangcha's letters, he quickly calculated the worst consequences, and couldn't help but look downcast. If the Yellow River is broken in Xinxiang, the flood will rush straight to Yanggu and Taiqian, and more seriously, the area around Taiqian is the course of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and if the canal is washed away, the flow of the canal will be almost interrupted. What a catastrophe and impact it will be for Daeyong! This situation is much more serious than the situation in Jiangnan Province, involving the north and south of Dayong, the Cao Yun is interrupted, that is, the field is not able to pass through the grain, then the palace consumption, the payment of hundreds of officials, the payment of military salaries, and the adjustment of people's food will be greatly restricted, and the impact will be the entire Dayong! Thinking of this, Shen Huashan's face changed a few times, but he quickly recovered, remembering that this was in front of the emperor, and also thought that this was the worst case, fortunately, this situation had not happened yet, Wei Liangcha's letter only said that the water level had risen, and things had not been so bad that far.

The next day, Yuan Kezhen, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and He Kuan, the director of the Ministry of Water, also learned the news of the rising water level. The two professionals also thought of the worst-case scenario at once, and both expressed concern about the situation in Hanoi Province, and they rushed to discuss countermeasures with Shen Huashan.

"Pray that God will open his eyes, otherwise the people of the world will suffer." Yu Langzhong Tao Tian couldn't think of any good plan, so he could only say so, and began to pray secretly, worshipping all the gods in his heart.

"Maybe things haven't come to that point yet......" Yuan Ke really didn't finish what he wanted to say, this kind of purely providential thing really makes people feel aggrieved.

"Si Tiantai has already said that the rain will continue." He Kuan had gone to Si Tiantai before, and got the bad news, and said it at this moment, so that the other two people had nothing to say.

The water situation in Gangnam Province has not yet been controlled, and if the Yellow River is broken now, if the canal collapses, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

Shen Huashan listened to the words of several subordinates, and had nothing to say for a while. He couldn't go to Hanoi Road to investigate the scene, so he had to pay close attention to the news from Hanoi Road, and secretly asked Yuan Kezhen to prepare, if it was really a gap in the Yellow River, then Yuan Kezhen would go to Hanoi Road as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, he was still relieved, and quickly changed his plan and decided not to wait for news from Hanoi Province, and asked Yuan Kezhen to set off for Hanoi Province immediately to deal with disaster relief-related matters to save time. In the event that the Hanoi Canal is interrupted, it can also respond quickly.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry soon received bad news: the Yellow River was missing in the Xinxiang area, and the flood rushed straight to Yanggu and Taiqian, which washed away the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the north-south transportation was forced to be interrupted! This is exactly what Shen Huashan and others expected. Although Wei Liangcha, the observer of Hanoi Province, had ordered the evacuation of the people in Yanggu and Taiqian, the danger was urgent, and about 10,000 people still died in the flood, and countless houses collapsed, and the damage this time was difficult to estimate.

This news made Shen Huashan unable to sit still, and tears flowed down all of a sudden. Since Si Tiantai said that there would be a flood disaster at the beginning of the year, he was worried that people would die because of it, so he actively planned to repair the river. Tens of thousands of people, just like that, there is no more, even the canal and river have been washed away, and God is unkind!

Wei Pucun, the head of the household department, and Jiang Chenghai, the waiter, rushed to the official office of the Ministry of Industry to discuss countermeasures with Shen Huashan as soon as possible - in fact, they were all in the low house next to the Xuanzheng Palace, and there were not many rooms. The household department is in charge of the world's grain and wealth, and now the north-south transportation has been forced to interrupt, and the first one affected is the household department.

These officialdom bigwigs all have a worried face. Shen Huashan pointed to the map to explain the seriousness of the disaster to these two people, and said that Yuan Kezhen had already gone to Taiqian, and he still didn't know how big the gap in the Yellow River was, and what the situation of the overwashed Taiqian River was, and only when he sent the news back could he have a specific understanding.

Yuan Kezhen's feedback soon reached the Ministry of Industry, saying that the gap in the Yellow River is not very serious, only as soon as the rain stops, the water potential eases, and it will soon be able to rest. The real trouble is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the river is seriously washed out, the water potential is accumulated, and the tributaries cannot be discharged, which is unimaginable for a while.

I'm really afraid of something! What Shen Huashan and the others are most worried about is the matter of the north-south Cao Yun, but the river is the most seriously washed out, so that Dayong will be affected.

The news of the collapse of the canal caused a shock up and down Jingzhao, in addition to paying attention to the examination class, Jingzhao officials had another concern, when will the water potential of this Hanoi Road reced? When will the canal be cured?

Emperor Changtai issued an order to openly solicit good strategies for water control, and anyone who has the ability to control water can also say it, and the imperial court will give everyone corresponding rewards according to their achievements in water control, and even give official ranks. But under such tempting conditions, no one wrote countermeasures, and for several days, the court was silent.

Shen Huashan was in a hurry and had no choice, so he could only wait for the latest news from Yuan Kezhen in front of the stage, and there would always be a way to investigate the scene. If Yuan Ke really didn't think of a good way, he would definitely go to Hanoi Province to control the water, so he instructed Shen Yu and Shen Zeyuan to pack the necessary luggage and make corresponding preparations for him to go to Hanoi Road.
