God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1238 Disaster Relief
After a long while, Du He said to himself: "Chang'an City has many large flood ditches, and it is said that they would not accumulate so much water. Now it seems that most of these flood discharge ditches are blocked, and Jingzhao Mansion is also blocked. Well, Chang'an County or Wannian County, I'm afraid they are just busy saving people at this time, but they didn't expect to solve the flooding of the city first, and the only way to deal with this matter is to rely on the city management brigade..."

He got up, put away the blueprints and papers, called Zhang Jian, and ordered: "Zecheng, you immediately send someone to send this thing to the camp of the Guancheng Brigade, and tell Captain Qin that you must follow my instructions. Do it without delay..."

"Yes!"

Zhang Jian left in a hurry.

……

Afterwards, Du He gathered the craftsmen in the mansion together.

These craftsmen did not disappoint him, and it only took an hour to build a very special boat.

Du He immediately took a boat and rushed to Jingzhao government office.

……

Jingzhao government office.

The people have already assembled.

Yamen servants have all been dispatched to save people.

A few days ago, there had been an order from the court to ask the Jingzhao Mansion to organize personnel to rescue people and supplies, but the heavy rain was so heavy that they couldn't even get out the door.

Now, it's finally time to go.

Liu Wentong and other officials, big and small, stood at the gate of the government office, paying close attention to the flood in front of them.

One by one, worried.

Next to Liu Wentong, there was another person standing, it was the Minister of Rites, Bai Fengqiu.

Bai Fengqiu looked around, and finally asked: "Lord Liu, if I remember correctly, Concubine Du was serving as the secretary of the Jingzhao government office to join the army. Now, a big flood has submerged Chang'an City, and the imperial court Officials, big and small, are all in disaster relief, why is he not seen? I heard that during the rainstorm, Concubine Du hid at home playing mahjong and eating beef, could it be true?"

Liu Wentong coughed and said, "Lord Bai, it's all rumors, rumors..."

"Then where is Prince Consort Du?"

"This... Concubine Du joins the army as Sihu, and I have already sent him to rescue the disaster."

"Hmph? Master Liu, is that really the case?" Bai Fengqiu didn't believe Liu Wentong's words at all.

"Look there!"

At this moment, someone shouted in surprise.

Everyone hurriedly looked up.

On the street in the distance, a small boat suddenly appeared. No, strictly speaking, this is not a boat.

Underneath that thing was a boat, and on the boat was a sedan chair, between the sedan chair and the boat, supported by seven or eight wooden pillars.

In this way, the water poured into the boat did not affect the sedan chair at all.

Bai Fengqiu couldn't help but said: "Nowadays, the people are suffering from disasters, and Chang'an City is covered with oceans. I really don't know who made such a thing and swaggered through the market!"

Liu Wentong couldn't help but said: "This person must not be sympathetic to the suffering of the common people. It's this time, and he still talks about such ostentation."

"This guy is too disgusting!"

"Don't let me see him, otherwise, I will definitely beat him up."

The officials of the Jingzhao Mansion said indignantly.

In order to rush to the county office, they suffered a lot. Some people walked halfway and were almost washed away by the flood; But it is unreasonable that this guy should appear in such a wonderful ship.

Before he finished speaking, he saw that strange boat docked at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.

Inside the sedan chair, a small staircase sticks out.

The curtain opens.

A person stepped on the stairs and appeared in front of everyone.

The officials who were talking about it just now were suddenly stunned.

Liu Wentong was surprised and said, "My son-in-law..."

It was Du He who came.

The officials of the Jingzhao Mansion rushed to say hello: "Good morning, son-in-law!"

"Hi everyone!" Du He smiled and greeted everyone.

There was embarrassment on everyone's face.

Just now they scolded the people on the boat, presumably, Du He must have heard them all.

On the side, Bai Fengqiu snorted coldly, and said: "All the people in the Jingzhao Mansion are busy with disaster relief. I didn't expect Concubine Du to be so leisurely. It's really enviable. Wait, tomorrow morning , I must report this matter to His Majesty in detail."

Ok?
Someone is going to mess with me?
Du He turned around, looked at Bai Fengqiu, and carefully sized him up.

Seeing that Du He didn't speak, Bai Fengqiu thought that he had shocked Du He, so he said, "Why, Du Concubine knew he was wrong? It's too late!"

Du He chuckled: "Who the hell are you, I'm afraid you're not a fool!"

"you……"

Bai Fengqiu's face turns white and black.

"Cool..."

Several officials of the Jingzhao Mansion couldn't help laughing.

Liu Wentong hurriedly introduced: "My son-in-law, this is the Minister of Rites, Bai Fengqiu, Lord Bai!"

The six servants are already considered important officials of the court.

However, this Master Bai has just been promoted.

Du He was not familiar with it.

Looking at the other party, Du He smiled and said, "So it's Lord Bai, but I'm afraid that Lord Bai has gone to the wrong place. This is Jingzhao Mansion, not the Ministry of Rites."

Liu Wentong explained: "My son-in-law doesn't know that Mr. Bai's mansion is nearby, but it was washed away by the flood, and Mr. Bai temporarily lives in the mansion."

Du He nodded, suddenly realized: "So that's the case, Mr. Bai is really pitiful..."

Seeing this, Bai Fengqiu said angrily: "Don't bother your son-in-law, but, what you have done, I will definitely report to His Majesty."

Du He sneered and asked, "What did I do?"

"Of course I'm hiding in Lai Guogong's mansion, not disaster relief!"

Du He asked: "Where do you see that this young master didn't go to rescue the disaster... This young master has just been around Chang'an City and has done a lot of work with the Guancheng brigade. It will subside, and the city will be flooded with floods, and the first task is to let the flood out, Master Bai thinks, this is not disaster relief?"

"You said the flood will subside soon?"

"Exactly!"

Bai Fengqiu seemed to have heard some joke, and said with disdain: "Mr. Du is really naive. The flood has been flooding the city for many days, but it still hasn't subsided. Could it be that with just one word from you, the flood can subside?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone beside him say in surprise: "Oh, the flood has receded."

Swish swish.

A group of figures hurried to the side of the steps to have a look.

I saw that the flood was receding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not long after, a staircase was exposed.

Did the flood really recede?
Many people looked at Du He, and suddenly turned into expressions of admiration.

Bai Fengqiu's complexion was not good-looking.

……

Near Yongning Gate, outside the city.

Where the moat turns.

Below the city wall, there are three huge openings, and water is gushing out violently.

Here, there are three big ditches for flood discharge.

Qin Huaiyu stood on the bank, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It seems that the third brother is right. Many people think that there must be floods outside the city. They don't know that Chang'an City was flooded because the flood ditch was flooded. It's blocked. Now that the flood discharge ditch has been completely dredged, it won't take long for the accumulated water in the city to flow out of the city...Let's go to the Jingzhao government office..."
