Although Gu Chengyu was also very worried about this matter, he did not want to interfere in the verbal exchange between the two people. After all, the prince was just the prince, and it was the emperor who could make up his mind and implement it. If he had any good suggestions, he might as well tell the emperor directly.
And this can be regarded as a political achievement. He gave the benefits to others and let others take the credit. Gu Chengyu thought that he was not that great.
It was a cold start, so He Jisheng took over the conversation naturally.
"It's going to rain today, and we have no countermeasures. Even though we are worried about Jiangnan and other places, the emperor has already assigned officials to go there. We are far away in the capital and are beyond our reach!"
In fact, He Jisheng also felt that this matter was beyond human control. All the necessary preparations had been made, and the rest could only be left to fate.
Gu Chengyu sneered when he heard this. What do you mean by having no countermeasures? Even if you can't prevent God from raining, you can still make some preparations for this matter.
He has handed over the secret folder today and is waiting for the emperor to summon him.
We must take precautions for this matter as early as possible. We are not afraid of accidents, but just in case.
If it was just an overflow, it wouldn't be too dangerous. As the prince said, the people would only lose some property at most.
But what if the river breaks down the dam? The consequences will be disastrous.
How do these officials from the capital know the danger of the dam being washed away? They are pampered and only work hard every day to find ways to advance themselves to a higher level.
What do the lives of ordinary people mean in the eyes of these people? Taking a step back, even if the dam is washed away, it will have no impact on them.
They will still be their officials, with fine clothes and fine food, and their lives will not change in any way.
At most, they would only receive a few words of reprimand from the emperor at the court meeting. Anyway, everyone has developed a thick skin.
As long as the emperor doesn't mean anything and just curses a few times, it won't hurt them.
Of course, there are also good officials who care about the people, so things cannot be said with absolute certainty.
"It's going to rain today, and we have to do something about it. His Royal Highness is worried about the country and the people, which is really a blessing to the people. But this matter is really difficult to handle. We are far away in the capital and don't know the situation in those state capitals. However, recently,
In the past few days, water reports from several state capitals have been rushing to the capital. Judging from the water reports, the Tianya River dam can still withstand it for the time being."
He Jisheng has always been a good person. He first flattered the prince, and then said some nonsense with little suggestion.
The prince was a little impatient. He understood that these officials were not officials of his own lineage, so naturally they could not work together with him.
It's just that before he came here just now, he had gathered trusted staff and officials in the East Palace. However, everyone was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.
Even if one or two officials have good suggestions, which he thinks are very feasible, he suffers from the fact that he does not have the right.
The prince turned his gaze to Gu Chengyu, who was silent at the side, and his eyes narrowed.
This is the purpose of calling these officials. He does not pay attention to other officials at all.
These court ministers were unable to help the emperor, and they died to benefit the people. They were all dead and eating nothing.
If you want to talk about who among the ministers in the DPRK has real talents and practical skills, to be honest, there are quite a few!
Although they are not as good as the one in front of them, they are not all capable people. Otherwise, they would not be able to become high-ranking officials. It’s just that these people are accustomed to playing both sides and are afraid of offending others.
There is no benefit, so why are they willing to intervene and cause trouble for themselves?
The man in front of him was deeply trusted by his father. He called him here because he wanted to hear if he had any good suggestions. He also wanted Gu Chengyu to go to his father to report his movements.
On the one hand, he commended himself for serving the country and the people, and on the other hand, he made his father pay attention to the heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River. In short, he killed three birds with one stone!
The prince has some understanding of Gu Chengyu's temperament. This person is different from the old men in the court. Perhaps he entered the court not long ago.
