Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"Your officer is also... willing." The judge Yang Shixun stammered.

"The lower officials are all willing, please assign tasks to the lower officials." Other officials also said.

In the matter of disaster relief, they did not dare to be lazy. At this time, everyone wanted to earn merit and show off in front of Chu Xuanchen so that the emperor could see it.

Chu Xuanchen glanced at everyone, and said, "Okay, since all the adults are willing to take the lead, then this king will call Feng Qing Yang Feng, and assign tasks to you."

Everyone nodded quickly.

At this time, Chu Xuanchen's expression suddenly became solemn, "Everyone, what I said earlier is easy to solve. This last one is a major matter related to the entire Jiangzhou City."

"My lord, do you mean that the Jiajiang River upstream will reach the territory of Jiangzhou when the flood is released?" Chen Xi stood up and asked.

Chu Xuanchen said: "Yes, for the past few days, my king has been sending people to monitor the movement of the upstream flood. I found that the upstream flood is coming quickly and violently. It will reach Jiangzhou in less than ten days. Jiangzhou Downstream, low-lying, and a basin, the water levels in Jiangzhou's rivers and the three major reservoirs have exceeded the warning water level. If we don't build dams and strengthen the river, I'm afraid we will wait until the upstream water flows in, or there will be two more heavy rains , the entire Jiangzhou will be completely submerged."

As soon as Chu Xuanchen said it, the officials started talking in fear.

"My lord is right. This is what we are most worried about. The tributaries in the upper reaches of the Jiajiang River are intertwined, silted and congested, and the water flow is not smooth. If the flood peaks of those tributaries arrive at the same time, the downstream drainage will not be sufficient. Then when the dam is closed If it is destroyed, our entire Jiangzhou City will be submerged!"

"Yeah, with so much flood coming from upstream, we are in danger of being submerged at any time. This is terrible, and we have to find a way to solve this problem."

Chu Xuanchen said: "Jiangzhou City is in danger now, do you have a good plan to solve this problem?"

When Su Cheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "My lord, we can send people to build dams and strengthen the river, to see if we can resist the flood."

"This king has thought about this method. It is not enough to build dikes and reinforce the river. Because the flood in the upper reaches is too large, and it is the rainy season, and there are frequent heavy rains. Once the heavy rain hits, I am afraid that those few small dikes will not be able to survive at all. It can't stop the raging flood." Chu Xuanchen said.

"Ah? Even the embankment can't stop it, so the city of Jiangzhou is in danger!" Su Cheng panicked.

After finishing speaking, he said again: "My lord, why don't we send more people to build the embankment high and thick to block the flood. Leave a small hole and slowly release the flood, what do you think?"

Chu Xuanchen said in a cold voice: "Master Su, when I came here, I passed the Jiajiang River. I saw the water level of the Jiajiang River soaring, and the flood was raging. The flood is so fierce that I am afraid that only a dam of more than ten feet can be built to resist it! High, such a long embankment takes time. Now time is urgent, and ten days is not enough. I am afraid that the flood will come before your embankment is repaired, so this method will not work, do you have other good strategies?"

At this time, Yang Shixun said: "My lord, if this block... can't be blocked, we can only... ease... ease it."

"Oh, how do I guide them?" Chu Xuanchen asked.

Yang Shixun was about to answer when a disdainful voice suddenly came out, "My lord, you have your own opinion, why bother to ask the officials and others? You can make your own decision, my lord, and the officials and others will only follow your lead!"

It was Zhang Shifan who spoke!
