Chapter Table of Contents

In the past month or so, Su Jielin has been so busy due to the flood disaster that he almost slept in the government office at night, and it was common for him to stay up all night.If such a big disaster occurs during his term of office, if it is not dealt with properly, this black hat may not be saved.

As a result, his beloved son went to Beijing to take the exam, and he could only practice it for him in a hurry, and was called away again.

Fortunately, the imperial court was quite understanding, and was not stingy with materials, money, and food, and even sent three princes to inspect the situation.

Su Jielin didn’t expect these three highnesses to really play any role. Hearing that he liked good wine and beautiful women, he prepared everything, thinking that he would be able to serve this man comfortably and have a nice word for him when he went back.He does not seek merit but seeks no fault.

Unexpectedly, the granary was leaked before this person arrived, and the method seemed to be artificial.Before he had time to solve the problem of the granary, there was news that His Highness the Third Prince was missing.

At this moment, Su Jielin suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall, and the foundation of the Su family was afraid that it would be cut off in his hands.

Fortunately, His Highness was lucky enough to arrive in Hangzhou safe and sound, but he had to go to inspect the disaster situation on the front line as soon as he got off the ship.

Su Jielin did not dare to stop him, and was afraid that His Highness would be in danger, so he had to recount the disaster all the way.

“This heavy rain lasted for more than a month, causing the water volume in the Qiantang River to surge. More than 30 reservoirs exceeded the water level, the river was irrigated, and the river mouth burst its banks. The most serious one was Lanxi. Eighty-eight villages downstream were flooded, thousands of acres of fields were destroyed, and countless people were killed and injured. More than 2,000 people were registered and more than 100,000 people were displaced. The loss of money and food is conservatively estimated to be hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.”

Qi Yuanxuan knew it beforehand, but now he remained silent.

Su Jielin almost didn’t dare to take a deep breath, and soon his back was soaked with sweat.

The road out of the city gate was full of hooligans, all of them were slovenly dressed, with yellow faces and skinny muscles. When they saw the heavily guarded carriages and horses, they wanted to squeeze in but didn’t dare.

“Houses, fields, and villages have all been flooded. These hooligans have nowhere to go and are running around, trying to get into the city. I have arranged soldiers to manage and clear the way. Unfortunately, there are too many refugees to control them.”

“This is a natural disaster that only occurs once in fifty years. You don’t have to blame yourself too much. Although the casualties and losses are huge, they are better than the flood in 1962. It shows that you are working hard. These days, Master Su, it is really hard.”

“It’s not hard work, it’s not hard work. This is the duty of a lower official. If you don’t do well, please ask His Highness the Third Highness for guidance.”

Qi Yuanxuan lowered the curtain and drank a cup of tea leisurely.

“I dare not give you any advice, but there is a story behind the leak of the granary.”

Su Jielin didn’t dare to raise his head, “This official has already put all the relevant people in jail, waiting for the adults to review. However, according to the official’s investigation of the site, this matter is probably an unintentional mistake, and has a lot to do with the lack of consideration when building the granary. The rain has not stopped, and the sun has not come out for more than a month. This is probably something that the builders at the time did not think of.”

Qi Yuanxuan sneered and put down the teacup with a thud.

“It’s a mistake of the predecessors, but you pushed this matter away completely.”

Su Jielin immediately changed his position from sitting to kneeling, “Your Highness, I will check clearly that everything the official said is true. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate the case yourself. I have no intention of evading it at all.”

“It’s hard to say whether this is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, but if it is a man-made disaster, someone will always take the blame. If it is a natural disaster, Su Jielin, you can plead guilty.”

“My lord”

“As the magistrate of Hangzhou and the official who cares for the people, instead of solving the flood and saving the victims, you made the disaster worse, leaving the people homeless and separated. You must admit to this crime.”

Su Jielin half raised his head and then immediately kowtowed, “Xiaoguan is wronged, but there is something fishy about the leakage of water in the granary. I hope that His Highness will make the decision for Xiaguan.”

Qi Yuanxuan was silent and stared at him for a while, then leaned over to help him up.

“I believe Mr. Su is also smart and capable, and he will definitely not make such a mistake. You don’t have to worry, His Highness will investigate the matter thoroughly and clear your name.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Because the flood had not subsided yet, Qi Yuanxuan and Mu Yu watched the camp on the mountain for a while, and then went to the tent for a meeting.

There was constant handover of personnel from both sides, resulting in endless debates over whether to build dams or open canals for water control.

Zili and others believed that in order to control the water, it is better to block it than to dredge it, so it is natural to open channels.

But the advisers of the Su Mansion thought it was inappropriate, “The Puyang River, Fengqiao River, and Xijiang River have all burst their banks, and the depth is more than 30 feet. Where can such water be diverted? I’m afraid that the flood problem on this side will not be solved, but the other side will also be flooded.”

“You guys have been building embankments and dams here for a month, but there is no result. Now the water is trapped here by you and can’t get out. It’s been a month and the floods haven’t subsided. Now there’s nothing to worry about elsewhere. Then don’t you care about the more than 2,000 acres of land and hundreds of thousands of people that were submerged by the flood peak?”

The two parties quarreled in the tent for three days over this matter. When the two parties met outside the tent, they did not talk to each other and each did his own thing.

There was another argument in the tent today.

“After our measurements for three days in a row, as well as the values previously recorded by your Excellency, if we don’t open canals to divert water, I’m afraid it will take another month for the flood peak to recede, let alone catch up with the autumn planting. I’m afraid those people will die and run away, and the beautiful Jiangnan water town will become a deserted land.”

“Master Zili, where do you think so much water can be diverted? Is it possible that it could be diverted to the capital?”

Mu Yu was rubbing his brow tiredly, and immediately took action after hearing this.

“Okay, let’s divert the water to the capital. The capital has been short of water for years, so it’s just right to divert it.”

The tent suddenly became quiet, and everyone had strange expressions.

Zili said carefully, “Sir, this is not a canal, but a canal.”

They had been arguing for three days, and Mu Yu had a headache for three days. He had to guard here for Qi Yuanxuan. No one could leave, and he was already impatient.

“What’s wrong with opening a canal to benefit the country and the people? We came all the way by water. Some river channels are too narrow and can only accommodate one ship. There are also many ports where larger ships cannot dock. Such inconvenience really hinders the development of north-south travel.”

“Yes, it is no small matter to open a canal. It will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and money. If there is no official announcement from the court,”

“I will discuss this matter with His Highness Third Prince first. Please give me a rough outline of the rules for water control. Don’t argue all day long.”

After saying that, the person walked out from behind the curtain.

Mu Yu had just arrived at Qi Yuanxuan’s tent, and before he had time to report, a roar came from inside.

“Get out”

Two women with disheveled clothes ran out in a hurry, and one fell in front of Mu Yu.

Hehe, why is Xiaoxuanzi so angry?
