Chapter 675: The Levee Breaks

A banquet, the first half of which was normal, and everyone drank happily.

But later, when the alcohol was on the head, Ying Zheng sat on the main seat and wiped his tears, and the old goods hugged their heads and cried at the bottom, no matter how they stopped!

In the end, Ying Feiyu ordered someone to carry them all back, which ended the feast!

Fortunately, those petty officials didn't drink much, and they lay on the table early and fell unconscious!

Even if there are a few good drinks, in this case, they don't dare to stare at the two eyes.

You have to lie on the table and pretend to be drunk!

Otherwise, the old goods will sober up the next day, and for the sake of face, they will definitely have to talk to them!

"Alas......! Drinking is wrong, drinking is wrong! ”

When the old goods sobered up, Ying Feiyu mocked and helped them recall the events of that night.

The old guys' faces are flushed, and they can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into!

In the next two days, Ying Zheng completely relaxed, dressed up in disguise, and traveled in the city!

The county was not at ease, and ordered the guards to disguise themselves and follow from afar.

In the event of any accident, it is better to rush over as soon as possible!

However, there was nothing wrong with Ying Zheng's side, and many people were sent to the palace to look for Ying Zheng everywhere.

After looking for a long time, he finally called Yingzheng back to the palace!

"What the hell is going on? So desperate to call me back? ”

It was not easy for Ying Zheng to be busy, and he completed the matter of sealing Zen, it was rare to relax, and he was suddenly called back, and his heart was obviously unhappy.

Don't say it's him, even the old guys are pulling a face.

"Your Majesty, there is important news from Xianyang!"

The telegraph operator was anxious and handed over the report.

"News from Xianyang?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

Xianyang is garrisoned by princes and Feng Quji and Meng Yi.

These two people have calm personalities, even if they have an idea that the prince can't decide, the two of them can help by the side!

If you can't solve it even with the two of them, you have to ask yourself for instructions, and something big must have happened!

"Say it! What happened? ”

"Your Majesty, the south has always been rainy since the beginning of summer, a few days ago, a dam suddenly collapsed in Huiji County and Nanzhou City, until three villages were all submerged, more than a dozen villages were affected, thousands of people were killed, and nearly 100,000 people were displaced!"

The telegraph operator reported the news from Xianyang to Ying Zheng word for word.

"What......?"

After Ying Zheng heard this, he got up angrily, and his muscles tightened.

Ying Feiyu and the old goods are the same, suddenly frowned, and their faces were very ugly!

"How could a good levee suddenly collapse?"

"Your Majesty forgive me, this telegram doesn't say it!"

The telegraph operator scratched his head in embarrassment.

He was a telegraph operator who was responsible for receiving and translating the contents of telegrams.

As for why the levee fell, how would he know?

"Send a message to Xianyang immediately and inquire in detail!"

Ying Zheng hurriedly gave the order.

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator did not dare to delay, and turned around to do it.

"Stop......!"

"Bring the telegraph here, right under my nose!"

The breach of the levee, killing thousands of people and displacing nearly 100,000 people, is no small matter.

If it is not handled well, the consequences are unimaginable!

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator quickly turned back and went to pick up the telegraph.

In a matter of moments, a machine was placed in the main hall of the palace.

Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and stood behind the telegraph operator, watching him operate.

"Didi Di Di ......"

After a burst of staccato sounds, the telegraph operator breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, it has been sent!" ”

"Good! Wait for the news! ”

Ying Zheng answered, did not leave, and still stood behind the telegrapher, waiting for the news from Xianyang.

The first batch of telegraphs produced in small quantities, and the coastal area of Huiji County, which is also considered the border, gave them one.

Fortunately, they were given one, otherwise, if such a big event happened, I don't know when the news would be delivered to Xianyang!

It coincided that Yingzheng was no longer in Xianyang, and then Xianyang passed the news to Mount Tai and waited for the show.

This back and forth will be delayed for a long time.

During this period, I don't know how many people will starve, freeze to death, and drown!

"Thankfully, you kid invented the telegraph!"

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Feiyu and let out a sigh of emotion.

If it were normal times, Ying Feiyu would definitely have a stinky fart, joke with him a few words, and even find an excuse to black this old man for a few dollars!

But now the safety of nearly 100,000 people is at stake, and even his heart is tugging, and he has no intention of joking at all.

Only forced a smile, which can be regarded as a response!

This scene can't help but remind him of the childhood in later generations, living in a fishing village with his grandparents.

A great storm flooded half of their village.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely and the casualties were minimized!

In this era, there are no advanced rescue tools, and the probability of survival is too small if it is flooded!

Man is really too small in nature!

"Didi ......"

Just when Ying Feiyu was full of emotion in his heart, the telegraph suddenly rang, pulling his thoughts back.

"Say what? Say what? ”

Kang Anping was impatient and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Shh......h

Several other veterans made a silent gesture, and Kang Anping felt speechless and quickly covered his mouth.

There was no way, he was also anxious to make such a big reaction.

But he forgot that the telegraph operator had to parse the code through those voices and translate the news from the imperial court!

After a while, the voice paused, and the telegraph operator immediately reported to Ying Zheng!

"Your Majesty, the news from Xianyang says that it seems that the embankment has burst due to the recent rain, the water level has risen, and the levee cannot withstand the huge pressure!"

"It seems? What exactly does this seem to mean? ”

Hearing this response, Ying Zheng's anger became even greater, and he slapped on the table next to him, making a muffled sound.

The frightened telegraph operator shuddered.

The local officials waiting outside the door shrunk their necks one by one, and they didn't dare to breathe.

I heard before that a companion is like a companion tiger, and their majesty is not easy to mess with.

Through the contact in the past few days, the local officials still feel that their emperor is not as terrifying as the legend!

However, this idea is only at the beginning.

From this moment on, they really understood that His Majesty was indeed a megatron.

"Father, now is not the time to ask how the levee will break, the first task now is to settle the people who have been affected by the disaster!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng's face was wrong, I was afraid that someone would suffer an unwarranted disaster, Ying Feiyu hurriedly spoke out and changed the direction.

The matter of the breach of the embankment can be kept for later investigation slowly, and the people must be appeased first!

Those who have already been killed have no choice, and with the current conditions of Daqin, it is impossible to salvage.

We can only provide some help to those living people, solve the problem of food and clothing, let them settle down temporarily, and rebuild their homes!
