After a long while, Du He said to himself: "There are many large flood discharge ditches in Chang'an City. Normally, they would not accumulate so much water. But now it seems that most of these flood discharge ditches are blocked, and Jingzhao Mansion is also blocked."
Okay, Chang'an County or Wannian County, I'm afraid they are just busy rescuing people at this time, but they didn't think of solving the flooding in the city first. The only way to deal with this matter is to rely on the city management brigade..."
He stood up, put away the drawings and papers, called Zhang Jian, and ordered: "Zecheng, you immediately send someone to send this thing to the Guancheng Brigade camp, and tell Captain Qin that you must do what I said.
We must do it without delay..."
"yes!"
Zhang Jian left in a hurry.
…
Later, Du He gathered the craftsmen in the house together.
These craftsmen did not disappoint him, and it only took an hour to build a very special boat.
Du He immediately took a boat and rushed to Jingzhao Mansion Office.
…
Jingzhao Mansion Office.
The personnel have already been assembled.
All the government officials have been sent out to rescue people.
A few days ago, there was an order from the court for Jingzhao Mansion to organize personnel to rescue people and supplies. However, the heavy rain was so heavy that they couldn't even get out.
Now, we can finally set off.
Liu Wentong and other officials stood at the entrance of the government office, paying close attention to the flood in front of them.
One by one, worried.
Next to Liu Wentong stood another person, Bai Fengqiu, the Minister of Rites.
Bai Fengqiu looked around and finally asked: "Mr. Liu, if I remember correctly, Prince Consort Du joined the army in the Jingzhao Mansion Office. Now, a flood has flooded Chang'an City, and the imperial court
Officials from top to bottom, big and small, are all working to provide disaster relief. Why is there no sign of him? I heard that during the heavy rain, Prince Consort Du hid at home playing mahjong and eating beef. Is it true?"
Liu Wentong coughed and said, "Master Bai, these are all rumors, rumors..."
"Where is Prince Consort Du?"
"This... Prince Consort Du joins the army as Sihu, and I have asked him to go to disaster relief."
"Humph? Mr. Liu, is this really true?" Bai Fengqiu didn't believe Liu Wentong's words at all.
"Look there!"
Just then, someone shouted in surprise.
Everyone looked up quickly.
I saw a small boat suddenly appearing on the street in the distance. No, strictly speaking, this was not a boat.
Underneath that thing was a boat, and on the boat was a sedan, supported by seven or eight wooden pillars between the sedan and the boat.
In this way, the water filling the boat would not affect the sedan at all.
Bai Fengqiu couldn't help but said: "Now, the people are suffering from the disaster, and the city of Chang'an is in a vast ocean. I really don't know who could come up with such a thing and show off in the market!"
Liu Wentong couldn't help but said: "This person must not be sympathetic to the suffering of the people. At this time, he is still talking about such pomp and circumstance."
"This guy is so hateful!"
"Don't let me see him, otherwise, I will definitely beat him."
The officials of Jingzhao Mansion all said with indignation.
They went through a lot of hardships in order to get to the county government office. Some people walked halfway and were almost washed away by the flood. Some people walked to the government office with wounds all over their bodies. Some people came to the government office with wooden basins and turned them over many times...
But it is simply unreasonable for this guy to show up on such a wonderful ship.
Before he finished speaking, he saw the strange boat docked at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.
Inside the sedan, a small staircase stretches out.
The curtain opens.
A person stepped on the stairs and appeared in front of everyone.
The officials who had been talking about it a moment ago were suddenly stunned.
Liu Wentong was surprised and said: "Consort..."
The person coming was none other than Du He.
Officials from Jingzhao Mansion hurriedly said hello: "Hello, my consort!"
"Hello everyone!" Du He greeted everyone with a smile.
Everyone looked a little embarrassed.
Just now they were scolding the people on the boat. I think Du He must have heard it.
On the side, Bai Fengqiu snorted coldly and said: "Everyone in the Jingzhao Mansion is busy with disaster relief. I didn't expect Prince Consort Du to be so leisurely. It's really enviable. Wait, tomorrow's morning meeting
, I must report this matter to Your Majesty in detail."
Um?
Someone wants to mess with me?
Du He turned around, looked at Bai Fengqiu, and looked at it carefully.
Seeing that Du He was silent, Bai Fengqiu thought that he had shocked Du He, so he said: "What, Du Ma knows that he is wrong? It's too late!"
Du He chuckled: "Who the hell are you? I'm afraid you're not a fool!"
"you……"
Bai Fengqiu's face turned white and black in turns.
"Cool cool..."
Several officials from the Jingzhao Mansion couldn't help but snicker.
Liu Wentong hurriedly introduced: "Consort, this is the Minister of Rites, Bai Fengqiu, Master Bai!"
The Liubu Minister was already regarded as an important minister of the imperial court.
However, this Master Bai was recently promoted.
Du He was not familiar with it.
Looking at the other party, Du He smiled and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Bai. However, Mr. Bai may have gone to the wrong place. This is Jingzhao Mansion, not the Ministry of Rites."
Liu Wentong explained: "What I don't know is that Lord Bai's mansion is nearby, but it was washed away by the flood. Lord Bai is staying in the mansion temporarily."
Du He nodded and suddenly realized: "I see, Lord Bai is really pitiful..."
Seeing this, Bai Fengqiu said angrily: "It's not my fault, my consort, but I will definitely report everything you do to your majesty."
Du He sneered and asked, "What did I do?"
"Of course I'm hiding in the Lai Kingdom Palace and not providing disaster relief!"
Du He asked: "Which of your eyes saw that this young master has not gone to provide disaster relief... I have just walked around Chang'an City and led the city management team to do a lot of work. This flood will soon come."
It will subside and the flood floods the city. The first task is to release the flood. Mr. Bai thinks this is not disaster relief?"
"You said the flood will recede soon?"
"Exactly!"
Bai Fengqiu said disdainfully as if he had heard a joke: "Du Ma is really naive. The flood has been flooding the city for many days and it has not subsided. Is it possible that just a word from you can make the flood subside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone next to him say in surprise: "Oh, the flood has receded."
Swish swish swish.
One after another, figures hurriedly ran to the steps to take a look.
I saw that the water was receding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a short time, a staircase was revealed.
Has the flood really receded?
Many people looked at Du He with admiration.
Bai Fengqiu's face didn't look good.
…
Near Yongning Gate, outside the city.
Where the moat turns.
Below the city wall, there are three huge holes from which water is pouring out.
Here, there are three large flood discharge ditches.
Qin Huaiyu stood on the shore, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It seems that the third brother is right. Many people thought that there must be huge floods outside the city. How did they know that Chang'an City was flooded because the flood discharge ditch was blocked?"
It's blocked. Now that the flood discharge ditch has been cleared, it won't take long for all the stagnant water in the city to flow out of the city... Let's go to Jingzhao Mansion Office..."
