Seeing that Jiang Yusheng was not joking, Jingzhi did not dare to delay. He no longer continued up the river, but took the little river boy he picked up in Baishui Town back the same way, making sure to reach Lanzhou as quickly as possible.
Mansion.
As long as we get to Lanzhou Prefecture, the rest will be taken care of by Mr. Fu Yin.
The Yellow River surges all the way eastward.
Looking at the silt water rolling eastward in the river, Jingzhi didn't dare to take a closer look. The river water was not only ferocious, but also had an extremely high sand content. It only took a corner to break the river.
Maybe as Jiang Yusheng said, there will be a disaster this year.
Jiang Yusheng was not idle along the way. He touched the river and explored the water from time to time, fearing that something terrible would happen again. Fortunately, there were no other accidents on the river since they returned. It was just because after the rain stopped, the rainwater gathered everywhere.
The stream flows into the Yellow River, and the water in the Yellow River has risen a little.
After Lanzhou Prefecture sent a message to Chang'an, Lord Fu Yin continued to be concerned about things on the Yellow River embankment. Wang Hengdao, who was at the head of the river, was also attentive and kept sending messages to Lanzhou Prefecture.
After the rain stopped, the river faced new difficulties. Huge waves washed away sand and created many large holes in the river. If it were not blocked by large dams, the dam would have suffered a lot of damage.
After Chen Wang learned the news, he was glad that the Yellow River embankment in Lanzhou Prefecture was guarded by an experienced river worker like Wang Heng, otherwise he didn't know how it would have festered.
Before the imperial edict was issued, he had to do something to prevent a worse situation from happening.
Thinking of this, he ordered people to post notices throughout the city to recruit people with skills in water control. Unfortunately, he searched for several days and found no suitable candidates until he waited for the return of Lanzhou Biejia Jingzhiyi.
When he saw others, Chen Wang found that not only was his body in tatters, but even his shoes had holes. Not only that, but there was also a dark-skinned young man beside him.
Seeing this, Chen Wang quickly asked someone to prepare some clean clothes, and then welcomed Jingzhi into the mansion first.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. I wonder if you will find anything if you go all the way upstream of the Yellow River?" What he is most concerned about now is the floods in the Yellow River. If he is not careful, it may cause a catastrophe.
Jingzhi did not disappoint him at all.
Before he could put on the clothes Chen Wang had prepared for him, he recommended Jiang Yusheng to him: "Master Chen, this is a kappa picked up by Xianguan on the river. He has been familiar with the nature of water since he was a child, and his understanding of the Yellow River is rare in the world.
, he can not only know the amount of rain by visual inspection, but also sense the depth and flow speed of the Yellow River water through his body, which is of great benefit to us and others in the early warning of disasters in the Yellow River."
"Oh?" Chen Wang didn't have the slightest doubt that Bie Jia could take him so seriously. He quickly asked someone to prepare tea for the two of them. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yusheng was not very interested in tea.
He grabbed Chen Wang and said: "Listening to your chat, it seems that you are more senior than him. The matter is urgent. I am afraid there will be a big disaster in the Yellow River, and the people downstream will be in great trouble. Please ask this senior official to help the people downstream immediately."
Evacuate quickly, otherwise when the water from the Yellow River comes, everyone will not be able to escape."
"So serious?" Chen Wang didn't care at all that the other party called him a high official. Anyway, His Majesty said that everyone in the world is equal, and the Yellow River issue is so urgent. Who cares about what the other party calls him?
He secretly thought that if the Yellow River really reached the critical moment he said, it would be too late to wait for His Majesty's decree at this time.
"Okay, immediately send people along the Yellow River to inform. All counties and towns below the river course must immediately find ways to evacuate along the river. As for our Lanzhou Prefecture, we must also be ready to evacuate at any time."
Compared with the Yellow River, the terrain of Lanzhou Prefecture is not high. If the dam breaks, it will inevitably be flooded. Only by making complete preparations can the people of Lanzhou be safe.
Henan Prefecture.
Wang Xuance is still promoting the policy of banknotes everywhere. Starting from Henan Prefecture, the increasing use of banknotes in various places also proves the policy advantages of Qin Huaidao. As long as the people continue to use banknotes, they will be completely replaced within two years.
Drop silver and copper coins.
Above the Henanfu embankment.
Before Qin Huaidao took Cheng Chumo and others to the south of the Yangtze River, he had come here to see the Yellow River embankment. Located at the head of the river in charge of Henan Prefecture, it was Feng Jizhang, a veteran of the Cheng family who had retired.
Feng Jizhang seemed to be aware of the sudden change in the situation upstream. After he personally went down to the river to feel the speed of the river water and the ratio of sediment to sand, his expression changed drastically.
This is a sign of great trouble to come.
Soon, he sent someone to send an early warning to Henan Prefecture, and Henan Prefecture also spread the news to Wang Xuance's ears. After receiving the news, Wang Xuance galloped towards Chang'an with a single horse.
Chang'an, Imperial College.
At this time, Qin Huaidao was still teaching the people who represented the Ministry of State to conduct political discussions and discussions.
"Everyone, although you are ordinary people, you are no different from officials. You have one pair of hands and two legs, so you don't have to be afraid of the power of those officials in the court. My Han Dynasty is different from any previous dynasty.
I want all officials to become officials serving ordinary people, and I want all people to live a better life than the people of previous dynasties."
"If you want to achieve this goal, you can't just rely on those officials, you have to rely on ordinary people like us, so you don't have to worry about me, let alone other people. You only need to think about the people, and that's enough."
"Do you understand?"
"Understood." The leader was none other than Liu Yong. He integrated into the Chang'an community earlier than other representatives and was not afraid to face the emperor. He was one of the representatives Qin Huaidao was very optimistic about.
"Very good," Qin Huaidao continued: "As for the affairs of the court, everyone must be aware of the official setup of our Han Dynasty. In addition to the official setup of various levels, there is the Ministry of State Affairs and the Ministry of Representative State Affairs. These two ministries are higher than the official level.
It can decide various state affairs, and there is also a Dahan Business Department, which is used to manage various undertakings that require money support. Currently, the Dahan Business Department owns the Currency Bureau, Dahan Transportation and Science and Technology Museum, and more functional departments will be added in the future to use money to
Promote the development of Dahan."
“The representative of the Ministry of State Affairs has three powers and responsibilities. One is to supervise whether officials across the country are corrupt. If found, they will report immediately and deal with each case found. The second is to speak for the people all over the world. The Ministry of Representatives can set up bureaus in various places on their own.
Any complaints against drivers can be handled by the representative of the Ministry of State Affairs, and they must be fair and impartial to uphold the national style of the Han Dynasty."
"The third is the power of the court to discuss matters, but all state affairs are negotiable. If a major state matter cannot be passed by the representative of the Ministry of State, the state matter can be shelved or even annulled."
"Of course, with power comes responsibility. When discussing matters, you should proceed from a rational and objective perspective. If you express opinions for personal gain or indiscriminately, although you will not die, you will at least be removed from your position as a representative and deported to your hometown."
