Chapter 332 Precautions
Entering June, it rained heavily for several days.

In the beginning, the officials and the people in the city were very nervous, and even King Xing’s Mansion sent more people to the embankment, and the reinforcement and heightening did not stop for a moment. Then the rain passed, and it was sunny for ten days in a row. The local government has forgotten about disaster prevention.

On this day, Tang Yin, Lu Song, Jiang Lun and others went to Jiangdi to inspect, and Zhu Hao accompanied him.

When they arrived at the river embankment, they found out that most of the people sent by Xingwang's mansion to build the embankment were doing foreign work, and most of them were hiding in the shade under the embankment, sitting or lying down, in a very leisurely manner.

Even if a few people stayed on the embankment, they didn't seem to be doing serious work. They would stop from time to time and gather together to chat. The Liuqili River Embankment next to Wang Tian under the name of Xingwang Mansion was just a temporary layer of sacks filled with sand. , to no avail.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Lu? And Lu Dianzhan, Mr. Jiang, who are you...?"

A craftsman foreman greeted him, and it was Li Shun.

After Li Shun saw Zhu Hao, his face was also full of smiles, and he no longer had the strange look of picking his nose and eyes when Zhu Hao first entered the palace.

Jiang Lun was furious: "I asked you to build the river embankment, not to come here for leisure and vacation... so many people just sit here? The palace is supporting you for nothing..."

Li Shun looked back. There were hundreds of craftsmen, but less than ten of them were working. He, the craftsman foreman, was suspected of negligence, so he quickly explained: "I have been working for more than an hour. Can’t stop, I’m going to take a break before working again... Besides, the river embankment on our side is more than a foot higher than the other side, even if there is a flood, it will be poured on the opposite side, so it can’t rise to our side, right?”

Tang Yin raised his head and glanced at the sparse crowd building the embankment on the opposite bank, and asked with a frown, "There are also our people over there?"

"No, it's the people on the other side who were recruited by the noble gentry to build the embankment." Li Shun replied.

Tang Yin shook his head and smiled wryly.

Lu Song was thoughtful: "It means... the other bank found that the river embankment was shorter than ours, and our side was still heightening and strengthening it, so we asked someone to raise the embankment, fearing that there would be a flood, and the flood would all flow to their side up?

"Since this is the case, shouldn't you work harder? If the embankment on the opposite side is built higher than ours in a few days, wouldn't the previous efforts be in vain?"

Li Shun looked disdainful: "Relying on those [-] to [-] people, it will be difficult to catch up with our progress in half a month... Besides, the foundation of our river embankment is very solid, and there will be basically no dam failure. …Shouldn’t it be better to be on the lookout for an upstream dike break?”

Lu Song waved his hand: "Why worry so much? Do your work well. If you are still so lazy, I will go back and tell Yuan Changshi to punish you!"

"Get up, get up, get to work,"

Li Shun hurriedly greeted his craftsmen, and the embankment gradually became lively.

……

……

Tang Yin saw a group of craftsmen in the palace lazily working, and felt a little emotional in his heart. Unless the fire was imminent, this group of people would not have a sense of urgency.

After walking around the embankment, Lu Song sent someone down to measure the water level. Then Tang Yin heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Zhu Hao and said, "Look, the water line is at the normal position... it will be July soon, this year Is the flood season almost over?"

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "How do I know?"

Tang Yin said: "Didn't you say that there will be a flood this year?"

Jiang Lun and Lu Song on one side were laughing, feeling that Tang Yin was worrying unfoundedly.

Lu Song said with a smile: "In the past, the water level of the Han River would only drop slowly during the flood season... This year's rainy season has passed, and the sun will be exposed to the sun, and it will be autumn in more than half a month. I don't think anything will happen again."

Zhu Hao thought of the historical records that the flood came suddenly, so that Anlu was completely unprepared. That means that when the flood came, Anlu did not rain continuously for days. It is very likely that the flood will arrive overnight, overflowing the embankment, and even break the embankment in some sections of the river...

"I speculated that the recent flood may come unexpectedly. The flood is not due to continuous heavy rain locally, but from upstream."

After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he looked up to the north, and the Han River was like a jade belt, stretching all the way to the horizon, which was truly spectacular.

Lu Song and Tang Yin looked at each other. The two of them knew Zhu Haozhi's ability well, and they would consider carefully what he said, and would not immediately deny it.

Jiang Lun laughed when he heard this: "The weather is going well, why do you say that there will be a flood? I said, Young Master Zhu, you don't think that the prophecy has not been fulfilled, you don't feel that you can't make it up, so you say that? Don't worry, We are friends, who would laugh at you? Don’t you think Mr. Tang, Lao Lu?”

Tang Yin glared at Jiang Lun, as if to say, if you say you can't make jokes, what does that bright smile on your face mean?
Just for fun?

Zhu Hao ignored Jiang Lun. After all, Jiang Lun didn't have a high sense of presence in the palace. It would be useless to rely on him for anything.

"Mr. Tang, it seems that there are not many people building embankments everywhere, let alone monitoring the water level of the Han River day and night, so I suggest that the Xingwang Mansion send people to guard the embankment day and night, monitor the water level in at least ten places a day, and Accurately organize and report..."

Zhu Hao said to Tang Yin with a serious face.

Tang Yin hesitated, and asked, "Is this necessary?"

Lu Songdao: "If it's really like what Young Master Zhu said, if there is a flood upstream, the local area may indeed suffer, but..."

"What are you doing? Isn't it just to find a few people to guard the embankment, never go back day and night, and monitor the changes in the water level? There is nothing wrong with it... just let these craftsmen in front of you stay on the embankment!"

Jiang Lun made arrangements without thinking.

He doesn't understand.

From his point of view, since Zhu Hao made a suggestion, Tang Yin and Lu Song were hesitant, so he had to support Zhu Hao no matter what, anyway, just find a few people to guard the river embankment day and night. There is no loss to him in a word .

Zhu Haodao: "These are all workers in the palace. They have a weak sense of responsibility and limited power. If an emergency occurs, it will be very difficult for them to notify the city to make preparations... It is better to send people from the palace's ceremonial guards to stay on the embankment to protect them." Alright, let them issue a military order, and if the water level rises and is not detected in time, or the report is not delivered quickly, they will be dealt with by military law!"

"what?"

Jiang Lun was surprised by Zhu Hao's suggestion, and looked sideways at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin glanced at Lu Song first, before hesitatingly said: "This way...will it be a little violent?"

Zhu Hao resolutely said: "Compared to the stability of the common people, this small battle is nothing... It's really an accident. My river map may come in handy, so I'll leave it to you, Mr. Tang... Besides, Mr. Tang Don't go home for two days, be sure to stay in the palace..."

"What... is this an argument?" Tang Yin smiled wryly.

You kid is obviously trying to drive ducks to the shelves. I took you to the river embankment, and you actually put yourself in it?Not only gave me orders, but also gave me blueprints, asking me to stay in the palace to wait for orders at any time?Are you kidding me?

Jiang Lun smiled and patted Tang Yin on the shoulder, then walked towards the river embankment: "Mr. Tang, I see that Master Zhu has good intentions, so I will thank you...I will go to the river to urinate first, and let the Dragon King back! You, the Dragon King, have nothing to do and like to come out to harm the world..."

Tang Yin said with a smile: "Don't annoy the Dragon King, he jumped out of the river and swallowed you in one gulp!"

"Pooh!"

A few people were laughing and joking on the embankment, not serious at all.

Zhu Hao watched from the side, thinking that Tang Yin was getting along with several "backbone" in the palace, if there was a real dragon in the palace of Xingwang, you Tang Yin would have a place in the noble circle of the capital.

……

……

Anyway, Tang Yin finally accepted Zhu Hao's opinion.

It was not too difficult to send a few people to monitor the water level on the embankment. Even when Tang Yin made a suggestion in front of King Xing and others, Yuan Zonggao, Zhang Zuo and others didn't say anything.

There's nothing wrong with it except a little bit of tossing.

When he came out of the study, Yuan Zonggao said as if admonishing him: "Bohu, before King Xing, the old man didn't mention it, and you can't overcorrect things. Even if there was a problem with the river embankment last year, the local flood season has passed. There’s no need to be so laborious.”

Tang Yin thought to himself, you don't think it's necessary to mobilize everyone, why didn't you mention it before, and now you want to talk to me alone?

"Some people in the palace only pay attention to interests, and they can ignore them for the sake of interests... You are a literati, you should understand the truth that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black."

After Yuan Zonggao finished speaking, he glanced at the direction where Zhang Zuo was leaving, and reminded Tang Yin clearly, don't get too close to Zhang Zuo, that Zhang Zuo is greedy for money, and he can't be as moral as I am.

"Thank you Yuan Changshi for reminding me."

Tang Yin felt a little awkward.

For a flood that seemed unlikely to happen, Zhu Haofei let himself speak out, which attracted Yuan Zonggao's "cynicism", and felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Tang Yin decides to go drink with Lu Song and Jiang Lun. When encountering unpleasant things, only drinking can relieve his worries.

……

……

Zhu's Manor.

main room.

Since getting Zhu Niang's warehouse and warehouse at the ferry, the Zhu family's collapsed house business has been in full swing.

With the contacts and channels of Xu Han, the new Anlu magistrate's brother-in-law, the Zhu family's business has been doing well for a while, and after more than a month, it has made a lot of profits.

One day at the end of June, when Housekeeper Liu came to report the account to the old lady and told him that he had made a profit of about [-] taels in a month, Zhu Jiashi finally showed a relieved smile on his face.

"It's still a business of buying low and selling high to make money." Zhu Jiashi sighed.

Butler Liu said with a smile: "Now there are more and more licensed goods, but the third lady's business is getting worse day by day. I heard that she transports all the goods to the city for storage, and no one at the ferry will rent the warehouse to her, but there are also rumors , Said that she did this to prevent floods, fearing that the house at the ferry would be flooded."

Zhu Jia's old face was wrinkled: "Our warehouse at the ferry is on the low side, right?"

"Yes."

Steward Liu said truthfully, "The crossing has been prepared for a long time, and people are always arranged to check the hydrological conditions. It was a little dangerous when it rained heavily a few days ago, but it seems to have passed now..."

Zhu Jiashi nodded: "According to the usual situation, the rainy season is almost over...By the way, what's the news for the second child?"

After briefly asking about the business of the collapsed house, Zhu Jiashi turned his attention to the second son who went to the capital to find the eldest son.

Liu Guanjia said: "The people who went with the second master brought back news that the second master had arrived in the capital smoothly, and the whereabouts of the elder master have not been found for the time being. Some said that the elder master was sent to the south of the Yangtze River, and some said he went to Fujian and Guangdong. Yes, some people said that they might be secretly guarded by the factory guards... You can't find any useful information even if you spend money."

"Ah."

Zhu Jiashi looked stern.

The eldest son has no news at all, which is definitely not good news. No one is alive, no one is dead, and the situation is different from when he was a proton...

It was as if this eldest son had never existed.

"Butler Liu, Xia Xun has not passed completely. You should keep an eye on the stall at the ferry so that there will be no problems. I want to worship the Buddha. You go back and take care of your business. You won't lose..."
