The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 975 Discussing Countermeasures
Gu Chengyu finally waited for the emperor to summon him. He felt that Tianyajiang's situation was critical.

If you don't make some preparations, it will cause immeasurable consequences.

Therefore, he was always restless when doing things these two days.

Today he finally waited until the emperor summoned him, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

"Is there any evidence for the regulations you listed above?"

The emperor put the notebook on the desk, and after a while, he asked.

"My Majesty, this is the plan that I came up with after I borrowed the map of His Highness the Crown Prince and analyzed the direction of the various tributaries of the river."

The emperor will definitely know about this matter, and Gu Chengyu doesn't need to hide it.

"Oh? But the crown prince sent you to discuss the rainstorm in the south of the Yangtze River?" The emperor asked in a low voice, his eyes narrowed.

"Exactly! His Royal Highness is concerned about the country and the people, and summoned all the officials of Zhan Shifu to find a good plan, and the humble minister is naturally among them."

"So, this plan was negotiated by the officials of Zhan Shifu and the prince?"

The emperor asked like this, but he didn't think so in his heart.

If this is the case, other officials will ask Gu Chengyu to hand over the paperwork?Isn't this letting others take credit for themselves?
And the crown prince definitely didn't participate in this method, otherwise it would be impossible for Gu Chengyu to come alone.

"At that time, no one had thought of a good strategy, and so did I. After I went back, I consulted a lot of books, and then I thought of these points. I thought that the skyrocketing of the Tianya River was too dangerous, so I didn't dare There was some delay, so I hurriedly presented the booklet to the emperor."

Gu Chengyu knew what the emperor was thinking, he just felt that the prince wanted to make contributions and gain favor in front of all civil and military officials.

But now is not the time to worry about these things, Tian Yajiang is the top priority.

"These are just some humble opinions of this humble minister, does the emperor think it is feasible?"

Gu Chengyu was a little anxious, what time is it now?

Those court battles and intrigues can be put aside for now.

When he checked the map, he had already found several places where the terrain was very dangerous.

Even though the embankment is stable, the river water scours every day, and the water pressure is too high.The collapse is inevitable, it is only a matter of time.

The emperor took a deep look at Gu Chengyu, and then said: "You can give it a try!"

"De'an! Go to Tong Shunmin, Shangshu of the Propaganda Department!"

The emperor intends to arrange this matter now, and the Jiangnan matter cannot be taken lightly.

It's a pity that the capital still doesn't know that the Changtian Mansion has broken its embankment, and Gu Chengyu's protection regulations are already too late!
"My lord! The number of people has been counted. The villages flooded this time include Yuanli Village, Linjia Village, Guihua Village, etc. These villages are all in the downstream area, and the disaster is the worst. The other villages are not seriously affected. Some belongings were lost. According to the household registration, there are about [-] people in total."

Chen Zhao's breath was a little unsteady, and he didn't dare to speak further.

"What about the survivors? How many?"

When Qian Huichun heard the number, his heart couldn't stop sinking.

There were more than [-] people, too many people, and he was eager to know how many people survived.

"Those who are still being rescued, I won't talk about the lowly positions. For the time being, about 600 people are still alive."

Chen Zhao's voice became lower and lower, he didn't know how the lord would react next.

Qian Huichun's noodles are like the bottom of a pot, only 600 people are alive, and the remaining more than 900 people, needless to say, are in danger.

"I asked you to prepare before, and I also ordered the evacuation of the people before! Why didn't you do it with all your heart?"

These errands yell at the people and exploit them on weekdays.

But when it's time to use them, none of them are willing to use their strength.Now that such a big event has happened, these people can't even think about staying out of it.

"My lord! You just arranged the evacuation of the people last night. We have done everything we can to complete the matter. No one would have thought that the embankment of the river would collapse so quickly. Just as the water was under the water, the monument would be destroyed. The embankment was only strengthened this year, why is it so vulnerable?"

As soon as Chen Zhao heard Qian Huichun's words, he immediately understood the meaning behind the words. My lord is trying to shirk responsibility!

But they all obeyed orders, and the evacuation of the people was arranged by the adults only last night.

Even if they have three heads and six arms, it is impossible for them to be so fast.

Had I known this earlier, I shouldn't have said anything about humanity and morality.We should not sympathize with these people and let them bring their own money and livestock.

As a result, there was a delay in this matter, and Chen Zhao really regretted it!

However, even if my lord wants to shirk responsibility, it's useless, my lord is the magistrate of Changtian Mansion.

If the imperial court sends someone down to hold them accountable, your lord is duty bound.

However, they have no good fruit to eat.

"Now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. The court wants to hold this official accountable, and you can never escape."

Qian Huichun knew that the imperial court would definitely send imperial envoys down, and now is not the time to shirk each other, so he still had to think of a countermeasure.

"My lord, the humble officials have always followed the lord's lead. Now that this happened, the servants below are also very panic. Whatever the lord tells us, we will do!"

Chen Zhao hastily stated that he has followed the Lord for many years, so he naturally understands the nature of the Lord. This must be because the Lord has a countermeasure in mind.

"It's good for you to know. If the imperial court sends an imperial envoy, we will report the number of people, and we will definitely not be able to afford it. Therefore, this official wants to."

Qian Huichun beckoned and asked Chen Zhao to listen.

"This? I'm afraid this is inappropriate? The court can always find out."

Chen Zhao looked suspicious, and his face turned pale with fright. He didn't expect his lord to come up with such a way.

"What's wrong? Then do you have a better solution now? It's an extraordinary time. It's a small thing for me to lose my black hat, but it's true to save everyone's life!"

Seeing that Chen Zhao was reluctant, Qian Huichun couldn't help feeling anxious.

It's really that Yumu's head is not clear, but now his life is the most important thing.

Chen Zhao swallowed, still hesitating.

"Hmph! You can only get through the difficulties in front of you first, and you will naturally have a way to lie afterwards!"

Qian Huichun can't control so much at this time, and he actually has a countermeasure for lying about it afterwards.

He glanced at Chen Zhao, and someone must take the blame for these things.

I moved my ankle a little more, and there was a heart-piercing pain there.

This foot hurts just in time!
"Then? Then follow what your lord said! It's just about the embankment of Yajiang today, and your lord has to make up his mind."

Chen Zhao hesitated, but finally agreed to come.

He was old and young, and he couldn't be buried with the drowned villagers!
Qian Huichun is not a fool to be the magistrate, he understands what Chen Zhao means.

Just like what Chen Zhao said, how could the embankment of the Tianya River be so fragile and vulnerable?
That's probably because when the river embankment was repaired, there was something tricky in it!

Otherwise, he couldn't have cared so much about the river embankment at the beginning, it was because he understood the twists and turns in it, that's why he couldn't sleep or eat!
