"Very good." When His Royal Highness heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "I have also submitted a report to my father to explain the situation, and even mentioned that the incident happened suddenly, and I did not get my father's permission in time, and I made my own decisions, and asked my father to punish him."

"If I think I explain the reason in advance, even if I have bad intentions to participate in the performance, I have something to say, so that I will not be defenseless at that time."

If you are a little lucky, maybe you can reverse the contrarian situation, and make the emperor feel that His Royal Highnesses see the opportunity to act and serve the people wholeheartedly.

He Yanxiu nodded again and again, "The Third Highness is quite thoughtful."

"At present, the embankment breach that can discharge the flood river into the depression has been selected, and the embankment will be opened at noon to release water.

"Hmm." His Royal Highness nodded.

There was a layer of anxiety on his face.

Hope all the best.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon.

From the morning onwards, the rain ceased to fall, but the sky was still gloomy, with the wind blowing, and the weather was not as hot as a summer day, but rather a cool autumn day.

But such coolness can't blow the sweat beads on everyone's foreheads.

This is a key move, and there is no room for any mistakes, everyone is holding a breath in their hearts, not daring to slack off, everyone's face is collapsed tightly, plus at this time running before and after the busy, the back is wet.

The Third Highness, He Yanxiu and Zheng Yakun were also the same at this time, checking the situation back and forth.

At noon, the three cannon shots were the signal, only to hear the "boom boom" several loud noises one after another, the river embankment was blown open a few shallow gaps, and the turbulent river water went down the gap in the river embankment to the depression.

The water flow at the mouth of the embankment was visibly weakened and reduced, and the officials, officers and soldiers, craftsmen, and coolies on the side lowered the huge stones from the mouth of the embankment at the same time.

Huge stones were piled on top of each other to form a makeshift stone wall that blocked most of the river, except for a small part of the river that trickled out of the cracks in the stones.

Such a flow was negligible compared to the earlier floods.

"It worked!"

He Yanxiu was overjoyed when he saw that things were going as planned, and he hurriedly said, "Get off the pile!"

When the words landed, the men hurriedly drove the tall wooden stakes, which were incomparably sturdy and incomparably strong, and the thickness of a baby's arm to the outer edge of the stones that blocked the flow of water, into the earth, and then filled them with stones, and finally poured in a mud mixture of lime, rice milk, and tung oil......

I was so busy until midnight, and from midnight to the early morning of the next day.

Everyone was relieved to see that the original embankment had been basically repaired, and there was basically no problem with the inspection by experienced craftsmen, and everything could be safely repaired with only some reinforcement as a guarantee.

The Third Highness and He Yanxiu, who had not closed their eyes for a day and night, also glanced at each other and smiled.

It's done.

yes, it's done.

As long as the flood can be stopped, and the flooded areas can be restored to normal as soon as possible.

….

It can be said that this is the first step in completing this disaster relief, but it is also the most critical step.

His Royal Highness's heart was light, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "How is Governor Zheng's Mansion there?"

How much water the depression could store, and how much the embankment had to blow up at that time, although it had also been calculated by many experienced craftsmen, was often one thing in theory, and sometimes another thing when it was actually implemented, and there were always variables.

Everything will only be reassuring when the result is truly certain.

"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, just now Governor Zheng sent someone to report, the current water volume is stable, and at that time, the water volume was also estimated according to the most conservative way, the lake formed in the depression is smaller than expected, not to mention another rainy day like this, even if it comes a few more times, the water in the depression will not overflow."

He Yanxiu replied, "

In the future, if the area around the depression is repaired and cleaned up here, the regional flood disaster will be more favorable, and in a few years, it will probably become a place for the surrounding people to live."

"The people around there are also a blessing in disguise, and they will have more places to eat in the future." When the Third Highness spoke, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It was the first time he smiled since he approached Hong Zheng's Mansion during this time.

It's just that the smile is full of exhaustion, and even the crooked eyes that smile are densely covered with red bloodshots.

"The Third Highness hasn't closed his eyes all night, and now everything is stable, the Third Highness should go eat something and rest for a while." He Yanxiu proposed, "After the Su family's disaster relief food is delivered, I will call the Third Highness."

[In view of the general environment,

Since arriving at the Hongzheng Mansion, His Royal Highness has almost been unable to sleep every night, and he is really sleepy at this time.

"Then bother Lord He to keep an eye on it." The Third Highness nodded, yawned, rubbed his sour eyes, and followed He Yanxiu to Hongzheng Mansion City.

Most of the city of Hong Zhengfu was still soaked in water, so Zheng Yakun arranged a simple house on the top of the city tower of the city wall, as a place for His Royal Highness and He Yanxiu to stay, which was quite clean and safe.

The group had just walked not far when they saw many people on a high place, constantly kowtowing to the Honghe River, and even more chanting words in their mouths.

The Third Highness stopped and said to those who were kneeling, "Now that the breach of the flood river has been blocked, and the flood has stopped, you don't have to worry anymore."

Among the people who knelt down, the leader was an old man with a white beard, who seemed to be the head of the clan, who was helped up by others, and bowed and bowed to the Third Highness and He Yanxiu tremblingly.

"Although the adults say this, but the grass people are brave, I still want to remind the adults that this flood is only afraid that there will be more, and more, bigger!"

Probably because of fear, the old man was full of trills when he spoke, and even tears were in his eyes, choking up, "This must be the anger of the River Dragon King and wants to punish the people, this is all providence, providence!"

When His Royal Highness and He Yanxiu and his party heard this, they all looked at each other.

"Why do you say that?" The Third Highness was puzzled and asked.

"What is the matter between God and the River Dragon King, what else is there, it must be someone who has done a great bad thing, a heinous crime, and offended the gods, so it will be like this."

The old man's face was full of fear, and he bowed again in the direction of the Honghe, "Right now, I just hope that God and the River Dragon King will have a little mercy when they are angry this time, so that they can take care of the lives of so many people."

"I haven't seen these people a few days ago, why is it that the embankment of the flood river has been blocked, it is a happy thing, and the gods are chattering?" The Third Highness became more and more puzzled.
