Chapter 207: The Great Water in the South of the Yangtze River
It's a pity that what Su Yiyi doesn't believe in the most is the family affection in the mouths of their Su family's father and daughter, they may really have family affection, but it will not include her Su Yiyi, in their hearts, she is just a tool that can be used.
However, she still followed her meaning and said: "Actually, if my sister is not embarrassed by Yiyi, how can Yiyi go against my sister." ”
"It's all my sister's fault, my sister used to be blinded by lard, so I misunderstood my sister a lot." Thinking that she had already listened, Su Manman immediately smiled and apologized.
"Since my sister has said so, Yiyiruo is still holding on, but it seems that Yiyi is not close to people."
"With the words of my sister, my sister is relieved."
Whether it was true or not, the expression on Su Manman's face was much more sincere, and for the sake of being close to her cousin, she also took the initiative to hold Su Yiyi's hand.
The two of them just like this, on the surface they shook hands and made peace, but they had their own plans in their hearts.
Two days later, a major incident occurred in the DPRK and China.
It turned out that at the beginning of spring this year, Jiangnan had been raining heavily for several days, and the prefect of Jiangnan was afraid that the river embankment would be unstable and could not withstand the heavy rain, so he issued an order to ask the emperor to allocate funds to rebuild the river embankment.
Who knew that the cabinet saw that there was good news in the palace one after another, and the emperor was also red all day long, and he was afraid that he would suddenly take out this matter and sweep away the emperor's interest, so he deliberately suppressed this book.
Anyway, there is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has been asking for repairs at any time for so many years, and he has not agreed to it every year, and he has not seen the river burst for so many years, so he thinks that this is an alarmist by local officials.
But that's where things go bad.
After a month of torrential rains, the old Jiangnan River embankment finally burst.
The surging flood not only flooded the houses on both sides of the river, but also flooded all the surrounding thousands of hectares of fertile land.
Jiangnan is known as the land of fish and rice, and most of the grain in this country is based on Jiangnan's annual offerings.
As a result, because of this flood, Chang Guo has no rations for this year, not only that, but now the victims in the south of the Yangtze River are homeless, and the imperial court has to provide food to relieve the victims and repair the river embankment, which is not a small amount of money.
If one is not good, it is possible to lose the country, this is simply a major event that shakes the country's foundation, and no one dares to press this matter anymore, and the twist and turn was immediately sent to Emperor Chang's imperial case.
Such a big incident has happened, and it has only been reported now, which makes the emperor, who has always been in a very good mood, angry.
Originally, it was obvious that things could be controlled at the source, but I didn't expect the cabinet to make their own decisions, and it turned out to be what it is now. Now that they can't clean up the mess, they think of coming to find themselves, and the emperor angrily lifted all the twists and turns, and called all the ministers into the imperial study overnight and scolded them bloodily.
As soon as the temper came, the cabinet minister who had the audacity to suppress the fold was directly condemned to death by the emperor and pushed out to be beheaded.
I scolded and scolded, and I killed what should be killed, but the affairs of Jiangnan are still there, and it is impossible to disappear like this.
"Now what do you say to do?" The Emperor said angrily.
Everyone waited in horror for the emperor to finish venting, and when they heard that he was already planning to let go of this section, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, among the ministers, the top priority now is to send people to provide disaster relief, relief to the victims, and reassure the people."
"Lord Du's words are wrong, and the top priority now should be to build a dam first to prevent the flood from striking again."
"I just feel ......"
Suddenly, in the imperial study, which was silent just now, a fierce quarrel suddenly sounded.
Each of them hoped that the emperor would adopt his own opinion, and a group of people would not give in to each other, so they almost rolled their arms and fought.
Looking at the people who were in a mess, the emperor couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and shouted angrily: "Enough, shut up." ”
He stood up from his seat suddenly, and he didn't know if he was too anxious or angry, and suddenly a feeling of dizziness hit, if it wasn't for Yin Jingrui on the side who quickly helped him, I was afraid that he would be planted directly on the ground.
"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body."
The ministers who were still arguing just now with red eyes and thick necks were also so frightened that they knelt down in unison, and pleaded: "Your Majesty is angry. ”
The emperor held Yin Jingrui's hand and pressed down the dizziness with all his might, and then looked at everyone and scolded angrily: "You group of waste, you know that you are noisy all day long, I think that when you come up with a result, the victims of the Jiangnan River will starve to death long ago." ”
"Your Majesty is angry."
didn't bother to pay attention to this group of people, the emperor looked directly at the crown prince Chang Hua on the side.
"Prince, what do you think about this matter?"
Seeing that he was named, the crown prince Chang Hua hurriedly stepped out of the column and said: "Father, according to the opinion of the sons, the top priority now should be to quickly allocate funds and repair the river embankment to prevent flooding again." ”
Hearing this, the emperor's face sank, and he said, "Then what do you mean is that the victims don't care?" ”
The prince, who was still waiting for his praise, was stunned for a moment, and said: "There is no conflict between disaster relief and repair of the embankment, and it can be carried out at the same time." ”
The reason why the emperor asked him was that he had three expectations for him, but when he finished speaking, the emperor could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and scolded: "Bastard, you said it so easily, do you really think that the money is blowing in the wind?" You have been a prince for so many years, is it just an ornament? ”
Don't look at the current stability of the DPRK and China, a scene of singing and dancing, but a few years ago, they fought with the Chenguo, and all the money in the treasury at that time was used for military spending and food, and now the vitality has not been restored.
Chang Hua, as the crown prince, is so ignorant, he doesn't even know the basic national conditions, and he takes it for granted when he talks and acts, how can he rest assured that the country will be handed over to him.
The emperor has always been gentle to the prince, but this is the first time that he has reprimanded himself so harshly, and the prince is embarrassed and very aggrieved.
"The father is angry, and the son is guilty."
He had taught him so hard for so long, but he didn't have it at all, and the emperor was very disappointed.
"Your Majesty, why be angry, the prince is still young, and he still needs your patience to teach." Yin Jingrui hurriedly persuaded softly on the side.
"Father, my sons think that now we should quickly send people to build the river embankment and organize people to replant crops, after all, it has only been a short time since spring ploughing, and we are still in a hurry to hurry up a little time." Seeing that the crown prince was reprimanded, the happiest was tantamount to the third prince, and he immediately went out of the ranks.
It wasn't a good idea, but it was much better than the prince's ignorance, and the emperor looked at him and sighed, although his tone was still not very good, but he didn't lose face like he did to the prince.
"You're thinking it's simple, you can grow that crop if you want to?"
The passage of the big water, not to mention how long it will take to retreat, even if it retreats, it will inevitably gather a lot of river sand, and the fields in the south of the Yangtze River will not have a year or two to recuperate, and I am afraid that even if the crops are planted, the harvest will be greatly reduced.
