readx;? Yun Yao didn't say anything more, just silently put away the parchment scroll and the book, put it back in the house, and continued to read the pile of boring ledgers with Rong Ya. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two of them sped up, and finally checked the ledger, and they could breathe a sigh of relief.

The second day is the first day of the seventh month.

According to the instructions of the Queen Mother, Rong Ya was going to ask her for peace on this day, so Rong Ya got up early in the morning again, accompanied by Yun Yao and Qi Mama, and came to Jianzhang Palace.

The Queen Mother seemed to know that the concubines were coming to greet her today, so she also got up very early, and when she saw Rong Ya coming, she looked very happy with a smile on her face.

"Ya'er, how are you feeling lately?, do you think there is something difficult to deal with?" The Queen Mother asked Rong Ya to sit beside her and asked with great concern, and glanced at Yun Yao during the process.

Yun Yao just stood respectfully beside Rong Ya, lowered her eyebrows, and did not make a sound.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, Ya'er has become more and more proficient in harem matters recently. Rong Ya said, "Young Envoy Yun and Mama Qi are very dedicated to assisting and serving, and Ya'er has not encountered anything difficult. ”

"Hearing you say this, the mourning family is also relieved. The Queen Mother said, "However, this is just the beginning, and things will become more and more difficult in the future, and you must be careful." ”

"Obey the instructions of the Queen Mother. Rong Ya bowed in a proper manner, and then spoke again, "Queen Mother, Ya'er has another matter, I want to tell you and ask for your consent." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" the Queen Mother asked with some surprise as she looked at Rong Ya.

"It's about the ledger in the palace. Rong Ya thought for a moment, and then said, "Ya'er looked at the account books in the palace for the first time yesterday, which took a lot of time and was ineffective. After studying with Young Envoy Yun, Ya'er made a plan and asked the Queen Mother to take a look. ”

After speaking, Rong Ya glanced at Yun Yao.

Yun Yao took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve and presented it to the Queen Mother.

Jinxiu took it from Yun Yao's hand, then unfolded it and showed it to the Queen Mother. However, seeing that it was written on the method of improving the account book, the palace was required to use a new way of keeping accounts, so as to achieve the responsibility to the person, and the expenditure account book and the income account book were recorded at the same time, which can effectively avoid the atmosphere of embezzlement and corruption in the palace, and also save time for the reconciliation of the accounts at the end of the month for each palace and department.

After reading this plan, the Queen Mother glanced at Jinxiu, and then said: "Yes, Ya'er is becoming more and more like a queen, and she knows how to think about the overall situation in the palace." This plan was approved by the mourning family. ”

After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother ordered Jinxiu to issue a decree, and all palaces and divisions should implement the new accounting methods formulated by the queen's mother, and there must be no mistakes, and Jinxiu got the order, and quickly sent someone to pass the decree.

After solving the matter of the account book, Rong Ya also put her mind at ease, said goodbye to the Queen Mother, and then left Jianzhang Palace and returned to Hehuan Palace.

In the Jianzhang Palace, the Queen Mother held the paper in her hand, and there was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes, and this look was in Jinxiu's eyes, and she knew what the Queen Mother was thinking.

"Queen Mother, it seems that putting Yun Yao by the side of the Queen Mother is indeed a correct choice. Jinxiu said.

"Not bad. The Queen Mother nodded, "Ya'er is a lot more lively than before, she advances and retreats appropriately, and when facing the mourning family, she is much less timid in the past, and she already has the demeanor of a queen." ”

"There is also this plan to improve the account book, in the past, we used to keep accounts in the palace, so many years have been using the old-fashioned bookkeeping method, no one has ever thought of improving and innovating, but I didn't expect the queen to only look at the account book once, and then draw up such a plan. Jinxiu said, "Yun Yao's influence on the queen mother is indeed great. ”

"At the moment, it's a good sign. The queen mother said, "The mourning family can also rest assured, the more stable the queen's position is, the women in the harem will not dare to mess around, and the court situation will not be affected, which is very good." ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother also showed a thoughtful look on her face, and nodded slightly.

It's just that the Queen Mother didn't know that this plan to improve the account book was learned by Yun Yao from Yingquan, because they couldn't say it.

If the Queen Mother knew that Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan had deep contact with each other, and they gave advice to each other, it would inevitably affect the situation in the emperor's place. If the Queen Mother suspects that Yun Yao is selfishly biased towards the emperor, then she and Yingquan may encounter another bloody storm.

Rong Ya, as in the past, accepted the invitations of all the concubines in the Hehuan Palace, and at the same time, in the Changming Palace, a group of courtiers also gathered as usual to discuss the flood in Ji'an County.

Wechen believes that more efforts should be made to repair the embankment. In more than two months, the biggest flood season is coming, if it can't be blocked before that, Ji'an County may be plagued by disasters again. The lieutenant said.

Wechen thought that the delay in repairing the embankment was due to the lack of disaster relief funds. Lord Taichang also said, "The imperial court should once again allocate disaster relief funds to help the people tide over the difficulties." ”

"Wechen thinks ......"

The courtiers said one after another, and in general, they only said two things, first, the lack of money, and second, the lack of people.

The imperial court was required to continuously allocate funds for disaster relief, and also asked the imperial court to send troops stationed on the southern border to Ji'an County to help build embankments. However, they did not think about it, because of the disaster in Ji'an County, the imperial court had already allocated money three times, and each time more than one time, and the officers of the county government of Ji'an County also joined the team of building the embankment.

"Enough!" Shen Ze was furious and threw all the folds on the table on the ground, "Look for yourself, the folds from Ji'an County, even if the money and people are in place, the disaster is menacing, and several lives have been lost." Even if there are rich people and no one dares to go up the embankment, what is the use?"

Shen Ze's words silenced the ministers, and he didn't say anything more.

The emperor was calm and impatient, and the last general believed that it was imperative to send important ministers to Ji'an County to appease the affected people, so as not to cause a mutiny among the people when the disaster was serious, and then it would be more turbulent. At this time, Gu Qingming said, "Even if we can't find an effective way to control the flood at present, we can still prevent those things that can be predicted." ”

Gu Qing's words are reasonable. Shen Ze said, "You all go back to me and think about it, tomorrow morning, each of you will come up with a way to deal with the flood." ”

"Wechen obeyed. They bowed and spoke, then got up and took their leave.

After these ministers left, Shen Ze sat down on the dragon chair dejectedly, looking irritable.

Gu Qingming did not leave, but stayed in Changming Palace in the name of discussing who should be sent to Ji'an County.

At this time, Luo Song came in from outside, walked in front of Shen Ze and said, "Emperor Qi, Lu Shangyi asked to see him outside the palace, saying that there was a way to deal with the flood. ”

"She's a woman, what can she do?" Shen Ze immediately denied, "Maybe it's just an excuse to come in and inquire about the news, and want to know what I said to Gu Qingming." ”

"Your Majesty, do you think Lu Shangyi would use such a clumsy method to find out the news?" Gu Qingming disagreed, "She knows that the emperor is guarding against her, wouldn't it arouse even more suspicion if she came in like this?"

"You mean, I should summon her?" Shen Ze asked.

"The emperor might as well listen to what her so-called method of controlling floods is. Gu Qingming made a suggestion.

When Shen Ze heard this, he also felt that it made sense, anyway, he didn't say anything secret to Gu Qingming, even if Lu Yingquan came in and heard it, it would be no big deal.

Thinking of this, Shen Ze asked Luo Song to go out and summoned Lu Yingquan in.

Lu Yingquan, as usual, wore the court clothes of a third-grade female official, dressed up, came to Shen Ze, knelt down and saluted: "Lu Yingquan sees the emperor, my emperor Sheng'an." ”

"Flat. Shen Ze said, "You said you have a way to deal with floods?"

"Exactly. Lu Yingquan stood up, nodded, and then walked directly to the top, and came to Shen Ze's dragon chair, where a topographic map of Daning was placed on the desk, and the location of Ji'an County was circled with a red cinnabar pen.

She looked at the map, recalled what Yun Yao had told her yesterday, and what was recorded on the tree, and finally pointed to the location of Ji'an County, and said: "Your Majesty, the way to be a slave is to ...... It's better to be blocked than to be sparse. ”

It's better to be blocked, these four words are like a clear stream, directly crossing Shen Ze and Gu Qingming's minds, sweeping away their restricted thoughts before, and those thoughts that were bound by reality surging out like this.

"The courtiers' methods have always been to build dikes to stop the floods, but they have forgotten that this is only a symptom rather than a cure. Lu Yingquan continued, "Once the dam reaches the deadline, or if it is not built firmly, it will still cause flooding, so ...... Instead of going to great lengths to block it, it's better to dredge it and do it once and for all. ”

The dredging is the three main points recorded in the book.

Afforestation in the upper reaches to block the incoming flow of floods and reduce the impact of floods, straightening bends in the middle reaches to reduce the flow of the river and reduce the risk of overflow caused by floods in the bends due to the inability to flow smoothly, and widening the river channel downstream so that the river water can flow into the sea as soon as possible without harming the crops on the banks.

Listening to Lu Yingquan's method, Shen Ze and Gu Qingming glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

However, there is a big problem with this method. After being shocked, Gu Qingming also came to the edge of the dragon chair above, stared at the map on the desk, and said.

"Yes, the biggest problem with this method is the relocation of people in Ji'an County. Lu Yingquan said, "If you want to cut the bend and straighten the river and dredge the river, then the original embankment must be blown up, so that the flood will break out in a large area, and Ji'an County will be wiped out. ”

"You even thought of this?" Shen Ze couldn't help but glance at Lu Yingquan, he didn't expect that Lu Yingquan, a little woman, could not only break through traditional thinking and find new ideas for controlling floods, but also thought of possible problems.

"The emperor's words, the slave maid went to the Hehuan Hall yesterday. Lu Yingquan lowered his voice, saw that there were no outsiders around, and then spoke.

She didn't mention Yun Yao's name, but when she said this, she was obviously telling Shen Ze that Yun Yao came up with this method.
