Chapter 1813 Waiting for the addition of officials
Chapter 1813 Waiting to be promoted to an official position
The common people were gathering their things and leaving with Zhang Shifan's people while angrily cursing Chu Xuanchen.
They were filled with resentment and complaints against Chu Xuanchen. Whenever Chu Xuanchen was mentioned, people and gods were angry and wanted to pull him down.
The reputation Chu Xuanchen had accumulated through disaster relief was destroyed overnight and overturned in an instant.
Soon, Zhang Shifan sent people to move the people in the east of the city to the north of the city. The people were tortured throughout the night.
Braving the heavy rain, they took their wives, children, and children with their luggage, and were led by Zhang Shifan's people. The family moved to the north of the city where the terrain was high. They were really exhausted.
After Chen Xi saw that most of the people had been moved away, he quickly walked up to Zhang Shifan and said flatteringly, "Great, the people in the east of the city have been moved away, and they will not be flooded.
Mr. Zhang loves the people so much, is not afraid of danger, and leads well, so I am willing to write a memorial to tell the emperor about Mr. Zhang's achievements."
Zhang Shifan touched the stubble on his chin, looked at the officials, and said, "Where is this? This is not the credit of this official alone, but the credit of all of you.
Don’t worry, everyone, if we succeed in saving the people this time, I will also report it to the emperor and give you all the credit.”
Chen Xidao said, "Lord Zhang, there is no need to be modest. Above, you are loyal to the court, and below, you are responsible for the people. You are willing to mobilize troops to settle the people, unlike King Li who does not regard the people as human beings.
Mr. Zhang led us tonight to save the people. He truly loves the country and the people and turned the tide.
After this incident, the people will definitely love you very much and will see the true face of King Li.
At the same time, if the emperor knows about your achievements, he will definitely give you a promotion, and you will definitely have a better future."
Someone next to me flattered him and said, "Your Excellency, you are already a first-rank governor. If you want to be promoted again, you will have to increase your rank to become a noble."
Maybe the emperor will give you a different surname, Wang Dangdang, and then won't you be able to be on an equal footing with Chu Xuanchen?
Let’s see if Chu Xuanchen still dares to be arrogant in front of adults!”
"Yes, maybe Chu Xuanchen will have been convicted by then, and he will be no match for us adults."
When Zhang Shifan heard these words, he tugged off his beard with some pride.
He said smugly, "Chu Xuanchen is seeking his own death. If he acts like this, he will naturally not end well.
I do these things just for the sake of the people, not for the sake of promotion or promotion.
However, if I can get a reward from the emperor, I will not forget you, everyone is my own!"
"Then I'll be waiting here to congratulate you in advance on your promotion!"
Chen Xidao.
Hearing the compliments from these people, Zhang Shifan was very excited, as if he had been promoted to a higher rank and received a reward from the emperor.
.
On the other side, ten groups of spies had already gone in and told Chu Xuanchen the news they found.
Through these reports from spies, Chu Xuanchen knew that the flood was coming, but it did not flood Jiangzhou.
All the flood water flowing down from the upper reaches of the Jiajiang River flows into various regulating and storage ponds.
Even the heavy rain from the sky accumulated in the pond, and Jiangzhou City was not flooded at all, as usual.
He was not sure at first, so he sent Moli to check it out in person.
After Mo Li checked in the rain, he came back and happily told him, "Your Majesty, the Princess is really good at predicting things. After the flood hit, it didn't flow into Jiangzhou City at all, but was diverted into the pond.
It is still raining heavily and floods are coming, but because there are so many ponds, those ponds are not filled at all.
At the same time, my subordinates have sent people to slowly open the floodgates and release the floodwater in the pond slowly downstream, allowing the floodwater to slowly flow into the sea.
Moreover, the floodwater released now is slowly decreasing. I am afraid that by tomorrow morning, the flow of water in Jiajiang River will return to normal.
In this case, even if there is another ten days of heavy rain and another flood, Jiangzhou will not be flooded and will still be safe and sound."
