"Your Majesty, I beg you to go to Anlu Prefecture to control the water!" Xie Qian gritted his teeth and said heavily.

Li Dongyang approached Xie Qian's ear: "Yu Qiao, the magistrate, on the memorial, did not mention any words to Xie Qian, don't worry about it."

Emperor Hongzhi looked around the hall, focused on paying attention to Yan Chengjin's direction, and finally withdrew his gaze.

People are not born to know it.

It is not natural to control water. After three years, Liu Daxia found out the way to overflow rivers.

I am afraid it is impossible to pick out people born from the ministers.

People who control water have to wander around famous rivers and rivers all year round and tame rivers, so they have no chance to stay in the court. For example, Liu Daxia only returned to Beijing in his later years.

Emperor Hongzhi thought deeply that Xie Qian needed to be in charge of the cabinet, and was not an excellent candidate.

"Master Xie treats the people as my son, so I am not the case. But Master Xie cannot let this matter go. It is not a one-day work to control the water, so it is better to be elected by the public."

Xie Qian looked up slightly, feeling sad: "I asked for an order to go to Huguang, but I also have selfish thoughts. I am ashamed..."

Xie Pi went to Huguang to control the water, but no one knew.

No news has been heard back so far, and the incense of the Xie family has been ruined by Yan Chengjin.

All the officials sighed.

Wu Kuan glanced at Yan Chengjin beside him. If Xie Pi couldn't come back, this boy would be unable to do anything in the court.

Who in the court dares to face the big shots with the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet? Only Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly and said, "It will take eight days for the yamen runners to arrive in the capital. They urgently wrote it eight days ago. I am afraid that the rain has receded.

The most urgent task is to escort the relief grain into Anlu Prefecture.

There will be thieves in times of disaster, so please ask Your Majesty to order Han Wen to escort them."

I rushed to send it to the capital. It took eight days. I rushed from the capital to Anluzhou. At least ten days, no matter how heavy the rain was, it was over.

unless……

Xiao Jingteng held a concert in Anluzhou.

Zhu Houzhao was unhappy: "Lao Gao, why do you need Korean language for such trivial matters such as escort grain?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao and showed a murderous edge, which scared Zhu Houzhao so much that he lowered his head.

The court discussed that it was related to the lives of tens of thousands of people in Anluzhou, so naturally he did not want the prince to make trouble.

Liu Jian said: "What Yan Chengjin said is reasonable. The wind will not finally be on the verge of the morning, and the sudden rain will not last all day long. The heavy rain will not last long. This is the urgent thing now. How to maintain the people of Anluzhou."

"The Ministry of Revenue can arrange a grain truck to go south within three days." Han Wen continued.

Emperor Hongzhi measured for a moment and decided that Wang Qiong, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, personally escorted the grain truck to Anluzhou.

Anluzhou tax exemption for one year.

Li Dongyang said: "Although there is a relief grain going south, if the floods in Anluzhou are ignored, I am afraid that King Xing will beg again."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

This time I begged for a great opportunity, how could King Xing miss this opportunity?

If he had the ability to pass it to the Empress Dowager, Emperor Hongzhi would not be able to stop his promotion using this as a reason.

In history, King Xing was peaceful.

But after the opening of the Northwest Silk Road, the price of silk has soared. After King Ning made a lot of money, King Xing was unhappy.

Yan Chengjin peeled off the silk and curled the cocoon, and the reason was that he advised him to open the Northwest Silk Road.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that when Xie Pi set out, I have written the method of water control in a brocade box and presented it to him."

There are cases of water control of the Three Gorges, Yangtze River and Yellow River in the Jinbo.

Such as building embankments, spillways, and immigration from the Three Gorges.

Emperor Hongzhi, Li Dongyang and others looked at Yan Chengjin deeply.

"Can science also cure water?!"

Yan Chengjin was not blushing and said calmly: "Science can change the knowledge of the Ming Dynasty."

If you say it wrong, you don't have to cut your head.

I took the opportunity to advertise for science. If the water is cured, it is the credit of science. If it cannot be cured, Xie Pi's pot was born.

Make a profit without losing money.

All officials had heard him say this long ago and didn't care.

"If Xie Pi is helpless, Wang Qing's family will stay in Anluzhou to control the water. This matter not only concerns the people of Anluzhou, but also concerns King Xing's begging.

I would like to ask Wang Qing’s family not to let me down.” Emperor Hongzhi said.

Wang Qiong bowed slightly to receive the order.

Come out from Fengtian Palace,

Xie Qian strode to catch up with Wang Qiong and talked to him a few words. Wang Qiong bowed: "If there is news from the lower official, he ordered someone to report it back to the capital with a hurry."

…………

Anluzhou, Fengxiang Palace.

A middle-aged man who looks quite similar to Emperor Hongzhi, sat upright.

King Xing Zhu Youze thought about it and sent someone to send him a message to the Empress Dowager. At this time, it was a good time to beg, and he was afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would not be happy.

"In the past, floods also slammed the embankment, but after the flood receded, Anluzhou was still a treasure land, so the prince endured it.

But now, the price of silk, tea industry, porcelain, one price per day, and taxes are not as good as commercial tax.

If you give the Queen Mother an order, the Xing Palace will be moved to Jiangnan."

Seeing that he was hesitant, Princess Xing analyzed it carefully.

"Where is Xie Pi?" King Xing looked at the butler of the royal palace.

"I went to the Han River to control the water. I heard that many powerful servants were recruiting to mine large stones and ordered people to make stoves and concrete..." said the housekeeper.

Concrete?

Zhu Youze had heard of red clay, black clay, and loess, but he had never heard of concrete.

If Xie Pi cured the water from the Han River, there would be no reason to beg.

"Prepare a carriage, I will go and take a look."

The heavy rain stopped for more than ten days, and the flood in the city has receded.

But the water level of the Han River is extremely high.

If it weren't for Gun Yu's life, Xie Pi would be just a yellow-haired child...

Zhu Youzhi felt that he had to go to the Han River to check it out, and the concrete made him feel anxious.

...

Han River,

Xie Pi held Yan Chengjin's brocade box in his hand.

After opening it, he found that the scriptures inside only talked about a hero who tamed Tianhe.

Although I don’t know much about water control, I have a deep understanding after reading this water control deed called Zheng Shouren.

Tianhe was made nonsense by Yan Chengjin, and there was no Tianhe in later generations.

By assigning various river control measures to the Tianhe River, Xie Pi will be easier to understand.

Xie Pi carefully read the measures Zheng Shouren took.

Plant trees on the bare river bank, consolidate river embankments, transport boulders, combine concrete, and build a new tributary for flood discharge...

Every item is worth his careful consideration.

"Sir, I don't have food, I'm afraid the river can't be dug. The strong servants have all fled to famine. Now, there is only Xingwang Mansion in Anlu Prefecture...." Chen Zheng, the county magistrate of Zhongxiang County, sighed in a low voice.

King Xing begs to move to Jiangnan, how could he help Xie Pi control the water?

Xie Pi said: "I told him that it happened that he was here."

Not far away, a red sedan chair was parked on the river bank. Zhu Youze looked at the Han River. As expected, he was still two inches away from the river bank.

"Natural disaster**, if you return to the court to report, your Majesty will not blame you."

"What King Xing said is not bad. I studied science and the method of water control that Master Yan wrote to him will definitely tame this mere river water."

"Yan Chengjin?"

Zhu Youze snorted lightly. Although he had not met him, he had heard from the princess that the censor had said.

"The officials recruited tens of thousands of men and women, and asked the prince to provide relief for food."

Xie Pi stared at him tightly.

"My official's imperial village was also flooded, and the warehouse was empty." Zhu Youze carried his hands on his back and looked at the blue-gray soil beside him, curious: "Is this concrete?"

Xie Pi was an engineer. After coming to Anluzhou, he ordered people to build a stove and began to produce dead ashes.

Unexpectedly, heavy rain came, so we had to wait until the rain was over before starting work.

"If King Xing disregards the people of Anluzhou, I will submit a report to the court." Xie Pi said.

Chen Zheng's back would be soaked when he dared to threaten King Xing like this.

Zhu Youzhi looked at Xie Pi deeply, and then looked at the rushing river behind Xie Pi. He had not spoken for a long time.
