Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"Send me a ghost! Didn't you see that Chu Xuanchen withstood the flood? Hurry up and burn those two folds!" Zhang Shifan said angrily.

"Yes, my lord."

"My lord Zhang, this king said that this matter of water control has already been planned by this king, and this king has been telling you not to act rashly. Why didn't you obey my king's order last night, and secretly dispatched troops to transfer the people, torturing the people, causing panic and complaints?" At this time, Chu Xuanchen had already walked towards Zhang Shifan, and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Shifan's face froze, "This official also transfers them because he loves the people and wants to protect them. My starting point is to serve the people well."

"My king heard that you sent troops to spread rumors to the common people, framed this king, and damaged my reputation?" Chu Xuanchen said deeply.

"My lord's words are wrong! This mouth grows on someone, and I can't control it. The lord himself is unpopular and provokes people's resentment, but it has nothing to do with me!" Zhang Shifan snorted coldly.

Chen Xi standing next to him hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, "My lord, those words were not spoken by Mr. Zhang. It was the lord who did not act last night, and the people became suspicious and doubted you a few words. But fortunately, the truth came out today, and the people already know that the lord is a man for the country and the people, and no one will misunderstand the lord."

Mo Li said, "Master Zhang is right, the mouth grows on people, and no one can control it. Master Zhang is torturing the people so much, now, please Master Zhang, enjoy the storm of the people!"

Feng Shui takes turns, now, it's time for the common people to scold Zhang Shifan.

Zhang Shifan was so angry at these words, but he couldn't find anything to refute Mo Li, so he could only snort coldly, and left angrily with others.

Then, Chu Xuanchen took Yun Ruoyue to check the ponds.

After reading it, Yun Ruoyue said, "My lord, now that the storage pond has worked, we still need to send people to build embankments and strengthen the river course. Only by combining blocking and dredging can we truly control the flood."

"Okay, the king will send people to speed up the construction of the embankment. The flood in Jiangzhou has been cured. Will the other cities downstream be treated in the same way?" Chu Xuanchen asked.

After all, Jiangnan is very big, and it is not enough to just manage a city in Jiangzhou. Only by controlling the floods in the entire Jiangnan can more people be saved.

Yun Ruoyue said, "Yes, other cities in the lower reaches can also be governed by this method. The water systems of all cities should be connected to form a drainage system, so that flood fronts can be staggered, and each city can be slowly melted, and the water can be released separately. For example, Jiangzhou is ordered to release water today, and Qingzhou is to be released tomorrow, and then these ponds are dug deep to form long flowing water, so that the pond's water storage capacity can be strengthened. The water can also be used to raise fish and irrigate crops. Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice. After that, you can guide the people to get rich."

"Okay, my king will send an order to officials at all levels to control the water according to Jiangzhou's model." Chu Xuanchen said.

After Chu Xuanchen returned to the government office, he saw Yang Shixun and Yu Wenxian, with several officials, standing in the yard waiting for him.

As soon as they saw him walking in, several people hurried forward and saluted him, "See you, my lord."

"Are you guys here to look for something important?" Chu Xuanchen looked at them suspiciously.

Yang Shixun looked around, found no one was following him, and hurriedly said, "My... my lord, I have something, I want to hand over... to you."

"The same goes for lower officials." Yu Wenxian and others also said.
