Immortality begins with Xiaoao

Chapter 61

After Yu Fei became a doctor of the water department of the Ministry of Industry, he was naturally qualified to go to court, and today is the most important moment to decide on the Yellow River motion.

The officials who came earlier were already waiting outside the palace. Yu Fei didn’t arrive early, but it wasn’t too late either. After greeting his colleagues from the Ministry of Industry, they waited outside the palace together. Li Dongyang and Jiao Fang arrived, and the gate of the palace was officially opened.

Everyone entered the palace one by one behind Li Jiao and they came to the Fengtian Hall, which is also commonly known as the Golden Luan Hall.

Everyone stood still one by one, and after the sound of jade was heard, Zhu Houzhao also strode out from behind the screen, came to sit in front of the imperial court.

Everyone bowed and saluted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After a set of procedures is completed, there are two biggest proposals today. One is the affiliation of the cabinet bachelor, which is also the most important thing.

The other one is to control the Yellow River. It stands to reason that the management of the Yellow River is costly and requires a lot of people. This should be the most important thing.

But in the face of personnel affairs, especially when Li Dongyang and Jiao Fang have been fighting for half a month, and the loyal ministers and eunuchs have not been able to decide who will win, the governance of the Yellow River is not so important.

After more than half an hour of fighting with each other, the candidate for the last cabinet scholar was finally decided. Without Zhu Houzhao's help, Liu Jin was still unable to compete with Liu Jin, who had been in office for decades and was known as a resourceful scholar.

In the end, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Jia, entered the cabinet, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zuo Shilang, was also a Bachelor of Wuyingdian. Li Dongyang, who won, was naturally excited, but Jiao Fang, who lost, was not depressed. , being able to push Li Dongyang and others to this point is considered a big victory.

After some exhausting and secret fights, all the officials had no energy to think deeply about the Yellow River issue, and the proposal to control the Yellow River was passed smoothly.

With Li Dongyang as the ambassador for river control, and Minister of the Ministry of Industry as the deputy envoy, both of them are bigwigs in the imperial court who are only responsible for coordinating in the middle, so the specific affairs naturally fall on Yu Fei, the doctor of the water department.

All the officials in an ordinary morning court were exhausted physically and mentally. As long as the officials involved were involved in this short period of more than an hour, they were all sweaty.

Back at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Fei was also summoned by Yang Wei Yang Shangshu alone, and asked in detail about the way to control the river.

Yu Fei's method is not surprising, it is the result of later generations after the test of time.

[-]. Don’t allow sediment to flow into the Yellow River as you like. [-]. Protect the forest resources and multiple trees in the Yellow River Basin. [-]. Plan the land reasonably, build a large number of water conservancy projects to restore the Yellow River, and turn harm into benefit.

Of course, this is all long-term planning.

The specific method in the near future is to use the method of beaming water to attack sand, to discharge the sediment in the Yellow River first, so that it will not break the embankment, and then build water conservancy to benefit the Central Plains.

Yang Wei asked carefully, and Yu Fei answered one by one. He has been in the Ministry of Industry for more than half a month, and Yu Fei is not idle.

After half an hour, Yang Shangshu nodded in satisfaction and finally felt relieved.

It is not unreasonable why the officials in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry are called dirty officials. If you want to do things, you can't stay in the yamen and dream. Although the Yellow River governance has been decided, it may take a long time before it can really start. .

One is to go to the vicinity of the Yellow River to investigate which river section to start with, and the other is to equip officials and errand runners to control the Yellow River. These two simplest tasks alone take three to four months to prepare.

Not to mention the preparations for Dafa corvée, there are many things that can be counted.

The preparations for corvee service are naturally coordinated by Li Dashi, and the appointment of river management officials is Yang Shangshu's business. As for Yu Fei, he wants to investigate the river section as soon as possible, and submit a plan to the cabinet for discussion. After the cabinet approves it, the emperor After the approval, the collection and payment of corvee began to officially start.

Discussed with all the subordinate officials for an afternoon, and everyone agreed that the current breakthrough of the Yellow River is still in Henan. Since the Ming Dynasty, most of the floods of the Yellow River have been flooded in the lower reaches of Henan. of displacement.

The entire grain-producing places in the north, such as Henan and Shandong, were messed up, and the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty was dragged into poverty.

After everyone agreed, Yu Fei made the final decision. Two days later, he set off to investigate the Kaifeng area, leaving one day for everyone to deal with family affairs. Everyone agreed. Yu Fei could still think of these trivial matters for everyone. That kind of impersonal cruel official.

When Xia Ya returned home in the evening, the food was ready, and Lan Fenghuang, like an angry little daughter-in-law, glanced at it and stopped talking.

After dinner, Yu Fei talked about going to Henan in the future.

Mother Yu thought for a while and said:

"You're on business for the imperial court, so you can't talk too much about your mother, but what do you want to do about Miss Lan's affairs?"

Yu Fei took a bite of the meal and said:
"Of course I'm married."

Mother Yu nodded and said:
"Since that's the case, you're going to work in Henan. I don't know when you'll be back. It's not suitable for Lan girl to be here alone. I will go back to Luoyang temporarily with Wei Niang tomorrow. Miss Lan's family doesn't have any elders, so I will leave this marriage to you." The family is in charge."

Yu Fei gave a "hmm", and Yu's mother turned to Lan Fenghuang and said:

"Blue girl, how good do you think this is?"

Lan Fenghuang has been staring at the bowl in a daze since he heard Yu Fei said that he married her, not knowing what he was thinking, and only woke up after Yu's mother questioned her.

"what?"

Mother Yu said it again with a smile, and Lan Fenghuang also bowed her head in response.

At night, Yu Fei sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest. In the dark room, Lan Fenghuang lay on the bed, staring at the figures in the darkness in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, he said softly, "Yu Fei, do you really want to marry me?"

There was no response after a while, Lan Fenghuang thought Yu Fei had fallen asleep, and smiled self-deprecatingly, but suddenly heard an "um" in the darkness.

"Are you really going to marry me? I'm a witch in the eyes of decent heroes like you."

Another "hmm".

Lan Fenghuang simply sat up, looked at Yu Fei and said:
"Do you know that you are really domineering, when you put your sword against my throat that day, I really thought you really wanted to kill me, but in the end you didn't kill anyone, so I knew You look powerful, but you haven't killed many people."

"I can know, Yingying is so smart, I must know it too, and then I heard that you killed Yingying, I was curious, who are you, Yingying is so beautiful, you really don't feel pity at all?"

"I just wanted to take a look. It would be the best if I could let you suffer a lot, but I didn't expect it to become like this. Yu Fei, I never thought that I would really harm you. Do you believe it?"

"Ok, I know."

After saying this, Lan Fenghuang began to talk about his childhood, how his family died, how he was sold to the Five Immortals Sect by his uncle, and because of his good qualifications, he was valued by the previous leader and so on.

Yu Fei just listened quietly, and responded from time to time.

While talking, I don't know when a slight snoring sounded in the room.
