The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 95 The Dam Will Fall

If Shen Qiqi knew what was going on in Qingcheng's mind, she would have laughed so hard, she dared to give something like obscene pants, but she didn't know if Mo Yan would dare to accept it!
In the Ministry of Industry Shangshu's mansion, Chen Shangshu was sighing as he read the letter. He had stayed up all night for the past few days, and a lot of wrinkles appeared on his face.

"Master, don't sigh any more. The more you sigh, the more depressed you will be in your body. If you can't solve anything, let it go first."

Mrs. Chen heard him sigh all day long, and really wanted to sew his mouth shut. Sometimes when she fell asleep, she could hear his sigh.

"Ma'am, you don't know! The dam in the cloud seems to be unable to hold on. It has been raining heavily for the past few days, and the river has soared. The dam has been rushed to repair, but now it has not been repaired. The heavy rain is coming. The dam can I can’t last a few days, I don’t know what to do in my heart.”

When the torrential rain just started, Chen Shangshu sent an urgent letter asking them to speed up the progress of the dam. Although all the people below had been evacuated, no one knew if there would be any troubles in the future.

"You should report this matter quickly. Why are you still keeping it in your hands? It's going to rain, and you can't stop it!"

As soon as Mrs. Chen heard that it was about the dam, she quickly pushed her husband's shoulder and asked him to report the matter quickly. Since it can't be resolved, the emperor and the others have to decide what to do.

The main reason is that if the dam in Yunzhong falls, it will also affect the capital. Although the capital will not be flooded, at least the streets here will be filled with river water.

"Ma'am, I'm going."

Chen Shangshu no longer has confidence in this matter. He originally thought he could handle it, but now it seems that he has no way to handle it well.

Shen Qiqi was indulging in the happiness of furs, because these furs were so good, at first glance they looked like high-quality offerings from all over the world.

"Yue Ling, you said that in winter, if I spread all these furs on the bed, it will be very warm."

Yue Ling also touched these furs with curious eyes, and she also felt His Highness's happiness. Looking at the fur box full, she also felt that His Royal Highness the Regent was really kind to her Highness.

"Your Highness, it will definitely be very warm. Aren't you afraid of the cold? As long as you spread these, you will feel better this winter."

In fact, the weather is getting colder and colder now. When you wake up in the morning, you can see the air-conditioning you breathe out. If the sun is out, it’s okay. If it’s raining, the air is damp and cold, and even the air you breathe in With a bit of excessive coldness.

"His Royal Highness, my Royal Highness invites you."

Seeing that His Royal Highness was still obsessed with stroking hair, Qingcheng unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth. He also couldn't figure out why His Highness sent all these fur cloaks here.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Shen Qiqi reluctantly left the Mao Maos, she followed Qingcheng into the study, and found Chen Shangshu sitting on the stool with a sad face.

"See Her Royal Highness."

When Chen Shangshu saw Her Royal Highness come in, he quickly stood up and saluted, and then sat down with a bitter face.

"Chen Shangshu, what's wrong, you haven't slept for several days and nights, and the dark circles under your eyes seem to have been smeared with black ash."

Looking at Chen Shangshu's expression, Shen Qiqi felt that he seemed to have been sucked dry by a goblin, anyway, his expression was very bad.

As soon as Her Royal Highness mentioned this, Chen Shangshu stood up again, and then said what was worrying in his heart. He couldn't eat or sleep well these few days, and he just kept worrying about this matter.

"I also want to sleep well and eat well, but the continuous heavy rain these days has made it impossible for the dam to be repaired normally. I came here to ask the regent king and the princess for advice. Is there any way to make this The gaps in the dam are all plugged."

He is now afraid of hearing bad news about the dam. Fortunately, the dam can still hold up now, but the heavy rain has been falling endlessly, and it has not stopped.

If it rains heavily for another two days, I'm afraid the dam will really not be able to sustain it. If the entire dam collapses, he will die.

"It's the dam in the cloud! I can't make up my mind about this matter. While the dam is still able to hold up, I have people use sacks of sand and stones to block the water in the dam. After the rain stops, the dam will be drained." All that is left of the dam has been repaired."

However, after this heavy rain, I am afraid that there will be many problems with the dam, so the repair time will have to be postponed again.

"Your Highness means to block the water first, and then wait for the rain to stop. This is a good idea, but there are not so many people willing to do this now!"

Chen Shangshu has never done such a thing, so he doesn't know if this method is really useful.

"How come no one is doing this! As long as you give money, food and steamed buns, there will be many people who are willing to do it. Chen Shangshu, you can't always think about this matter with old ideas. Yamen recruits people If you give more money to build a dam, who would not want to do it!"

Money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible. If you have money and you can have a full stomach, many people will sign up enthusiastically.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Shangshu's black face. People would naturally be willing to do it if they gave money, but the question was, where did the money come from, and where could such a large amount of silver be obtained from the treasury.

"Your Highness, there is no money!"

After Shen Qiqi heard his words, she was stunned for a moment, and felt that this matter was indeed troublesome, and that she could do different things if she had money or not.

"Well, you can ask the wealthy households in the cloud to donate money. You just tell them that as long as they are willing to donate money, a monument will be erected next to the dam with the name of the person who donated money written on it. The more money you have, the bigger your name will be.”

Although the status of the merchants was not considered low in the Tianyue Dynasty, it was not that high either. Although they made a lot of money doing business, their status could not be improved.

If donating money, they can leave their names on the stele, who would not want to do such a thing of leaving a name in history!

"Mo Yan, do you think my idea is good? I think those merchants are definitely willing."

When Mo Yan heard her idea, after thinking about it, he felt that this method was very good. If these merchants knew that they could make a name for themselves, they would definitely be willing to do such a thing.

If this kind of thing is really done well, the money from Yunzhong Dam can be paid by the wealthy households in Yunzhong, as long as they are sensible and willing to make a name for themselves.

"This is a great idea. I will take care of the Yunzhong Dam, and Chen Shangshu will take care of the money."

When Chen Shangshu heard that the regent was willing to take over this matter, he felt relieved, and finally a smile appeared on his bitter face.
