Chapter 403: Mao Sui recommended himself

"Now that the turmoil brought by Jiang Ming is finally over, the final thing for the sake of the plan is how to deal with the upcoming flood season of the Yellow River." Emperor Jianzhang said in a deep voice.

The flood season of the Yellow River is a very heavy topic, and for all dynasties, the control of the Yellow River is the first major event, after all, the flood season of the Yellow River is not a joke.

The flooding of the Yellow River is mainly affected in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, that is, the "hanging river" section, because the river water can no longer return to the river channel after the breach, forming the Yellow River flood area, so the name is the Yellow River flood area.

Eliminating "harm" for the people is one of the reasons why Kangxi governs the Yellow River.

Every time the flood crosses, many refugees will be produced along the Yellow River, and they can only beg all the way to beg for nothing.

Severe floods can cause great damage to the lives and property of people along the coast, disrupt agricultural production, and seriously affect tax revenue.

Moreover, catastrophes are often accompanied by epidemics, and hunger and death often bring epidemics, and epidemics will be introduced to new towns and cities with people fleeing famine, causing more people to be infected with epidemics.

Therefore, although the imperial court spent a lot of money every year to maintain the Yellow River embankment, it still had to do it.

In the past history, there are no examples of the collapse of the dynasty because of the flooding of the Yellow River, and the poor livelihood of the people.

After Emperor Jianzhang finished speaking, the courtiers were silent.

After all, who doesn't know that the management of the Yellow River is a fat gap, whether it is governance funds or disaster relief funds, in the process of circulation, it will be like an ice cube to be passed down layer by layer.

In the end, very little money was spent on the management of the Yellow River.

As for whether the Yellow River will flood after the treatment? That's what God thinks, they're just doing their best. Even the imperial court knew that harnessing the Yellow River was a thankless task.

Those who have managed the Yellow River and produced results are all famous water conservancy masters in history, such as Jia Rang and Wang Jing, and how many years will Jia Rang and Wang Jing have to have one.

Therefore, although the imperial court manages the Yellow River every year, the bulk of it is still spent on disaster relief.

But since the last time Lin Jingdan happened, there is no need to guess and know that this household appropriation will inevitably strictly investigate corruption, and if the management is strict, the governance of the Yellow River will not become a thankless task.

Emperor Jianzhang looked at the silent officials below, and knew what they were thinking without guessing, just thinking that he couldn't pull money into his purse.

"What? Doesn't any Aiqing want to recommend herself? ”

As soon as Emperor Jianzhang's words fell, Li Su stood up, and the officials looked at him secretly, could it be that he wanted to wade into this troubled water, but he had never heard of a book to govern the Yellow River?

When Emperor Jianzhang saw Li Su standing up, he raised his eyebrows, "What?" Li Aiqing wanted to give it a try. ”

"Your Majesty is joking, the minister doesn't know anything about the management of the Yellow River, and it is really difficult to take on a big responsibility."

"What does Li Shangshu mean by this?" Wu Shangshu asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister happened to know a capable person who wanted to recommend it to Your Majesty."

He knows everything about Si Ning, and the Shen Miaomiao next to her naturally sent someone to investigate, I heard that a few days ago she completed a copy of the Yellow River governance map and handed it in, and Si Ning did not contribute less to this matter.

He knew that Si Ning had a knot in his heart for the Yellow River, since she helped her so hard, obviously she was a talented person, so he naturally didn't mind helping her too.

"Oh? Who is it? Emperor Jianzhang asked curiously.

Not only Emperor Jianzhang is curious, but the officials are also curious, it is not an easy task to govern the Yellow River, and it is definitely not ordinary to let Li Su say a capable sentence, but I don't know if they know this person.

Li Su didn't sell Guan Zi, "Back to Your Majesty, this person is the Dushui Supervisor Langzhong Shen Xiao." ”

"What, Dushui Supervisor Langzhong?"

"It's just that a young man from the fifth grade can have any talent."

"If he was really talented, he wouldn't be a little Langzhong."

After learning from Li Su that the identity of the capable man was just a small Dushui supervisor, the hall began to whisper.

"It's just a little Langzhong, he doesn't even have the opportunity to enter the court to participate in the conference, what can he do?"

Even Emperor Jianzhang was surprised by the fact that the capable person in Li Su's mouth was just a small Cong Wupin, but he believed that Li Su was not a person with no purpose, since he said so, then there must be something outstanding about this Shen School.

But the name Shen Xiao is a little familiar.

The prince on the side glanced at Li Su when he heard the familiar name of Shen Xiao, he only received a copy of the Yellow River governance map from Shen Xiao's daughter a few days ago, and the meaning of the picture.

So he handed over the picture and the fold to his father, and he obviously didn't remember it.

It may also be that he didn't read it, because his father trusted himself too much, and he stopped reading the excerpts he had seen, and the prince said that he was very heartwarming but also very heartwarming.

His father was too lazy, he didn't want to be lazy, he didn't want to attend the court meeting as the emperor, he was afraid he wouldn't even attend the court meeting.

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of first-class officials in the imperial court, but how much do they know about the governance of the Yellow River.

The minister thinks that what kind of person should do what kind of thing, and to govern the Yellow River, he must find someone who can govern the Yellow River, at least he will not pretend to understand, and in the end, the more money is spent, the less he will be. ”

Li Su's words almost said that some corpses were vegetarian, but they couldn't argue with him, otherwise what would have happened? On the rush to let people slap themselves in the face.

"What Li Aiqing said is that since the matter of governing the Yellow River in this way should be handed over to this Shen Xiao, and he will be promoted to the governor of the river to oversee the management of the Yellow River."

Hearing that Emperor Jianzhang directly promoted Shen Xiao, a small water supervisor, Lang Zhong, to be the governor of the river without even investigating, the courtiers had a new understanding of His Majesty's trust in Li Su.

Ge Haikong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, also felt that this matter was extremely untrue, and a small Langzhong under his hand suddenly became equal to himself.

If he hadn't secretly pinched himself, he would have thought he was dreaming.

"Now that the governor of the river has been decided, the next thing is for the household department to prepare the money, Sun Shangshu, prepare as soon as possible, understand?"

In fact, it is no wonder that Emperor Jianzhang will emphasize it so much, although he is the emperor, but it is not easy to transfer money from the household department every time, and the household department always cries poor, and it is as if they want their lives to pay for it.

However, this time Sun Chaoyuan did not cry poor again, last year he copied the house of the Dingguo Mansion, and the treasury of the household department was full, although it cost a lot to fight with the Huns, but the battle was fought quickly and well, plus there were horses and sheep captured from the Huns.

Not only did they not lose money, but they made a lot of money.
