Chapter 408 Chenzhou Dam Collapsed
Su Yu grabbed her hand, only to realize that her hand was extremely cold, and her palm was covered with sweat.

"Hua Jin."

Jing Yu closed her eyes and sighed, "I'm fine."

Yinhua touched her face, but also didn't say anything.

Back at the Han Mansion, Yin Xuan and Chao Si were also brought back, Qing Ning was still taking care of them, Jing Yu only went to see them once.

After a few days of trance, it was raining heavily. It was night, and it was raining heavily. Jing Yu stood on the porch looking at the scattered flowers and plants in the yard, holding an incense burner in her hand.

Rong Zhan rushed in through the rain under an umbrella, jumped up the corridor, stomped his feet, and handed over the bamboo tube in his arms: "My lady, news from Anzhou."

Jing Yu took it and opened it. It was Jiang Han who said: Are there five towns outside Anzhou?

Jing Yu turned around and entered the room, and lit the silk silk that conveyed the news: "Wuzhen, where is enough?"

Rong Zhan looked at her and said nothing extra.

"Rong Zhan, am I very cowardly?" She spoke, and threw the silk on the table: "But I feel that I am not wrong, I will bear with it, I just don't want to become the same person as the empress."

Rong Zhan remained silent the whole time, and did not make a sound after she finished speaking.

Someone rushed in from outside, covered in water, very urgent: "Mr. Chenzhou urgent report."

Rong Zhan asked loudly, "What's the matter?"

"The Chenzhou Dam was destroyed."

Jing Yu turned around in a 'swipe', with a shocked expression.
Chenzhou, the most important granary in Dongchuan.

The rain was still heavy, Jing Yu got off the carriage, and walked in with an umbrella. The Tongwen Hall was brightly lit, and all the officials were called here.

Jing Yu asked loudly: "Didn't the documents for the construction of the dam be handed over early last month? Why not reinforce it?"

A minister rushed out to answer: "The book has been handed in, but the Empress has not yet approved it."

Jing Yu's footsteps stopped, her fists were clenched, and her nose was trembling with patience.

When she came to the lobby, all the tables and chairs in the past were vacated, the ministers were all standing, and Ning Chen had already arrived.

Jingyu entered the door and asked, "Where will it be affected? How many people will be affected? How much will it cost?"

Ning Chen had already counted, and immediately said: "The eight surrounding towns have a population of 20 and 500 million taels of silver."

Jing Yu pulled down the gold seal on his waist and gave it to him: "Order the treasury to allocate 100 million taels of silver, and the local officials allocate 200 million taels of silver themselves."

The money cannot be given enough, there are plenty of people who want to make money from natural disasters, and even if they are given enough, they will not be able to spend it on the common people. Jing Yu knows this truth very well.

Ning Chen took the gold seal and gave it to the official in charge of the treasury, and that person went to open the treasury immediately.

After making arrangements in the Tongwen Museum, Jing Yu rushed into the palace.

Entering the palace in the middle of the night, the imperial guards did not dare to stop her, and Jingyu stopped outside the palace all the way to the empress' bedroom.

"Is the mother alone?"

The maid slightly blessed her body: "Yes."

Then Jingyu felt relieved: "Go and report, I have something urgent."

The maid opened the door and went in, and Jing Yu was waiting outside. After a while, the hall was lit up, and the maid came out to invite Jing Yu in.

The empress didn't get up, she just leaned against it with a pillow behind her, the curtain hung down faintly, her long hair was loose, the brocade quilt was hung around her waist, and the coral red pajamas made her look very thin.

Her voice was full of sleepiness: "What's the matter?"

Jing Yu handed over the booklet in his hand: "My mother, the Chenzhou dam collapsed, and my son ordered someone to transfer 100 million taels of silver to go first, and the rest of the things have been written in the booklet."

The empress took the booklet in, and the maidservant held a lamp nearby to light it for her, and she rummaged through it in the tent.

"Repair every year, will it still collapse?"
