The nine masters in Qing Dynasty coddle side Fujin

Chapter 218 Leave
"Where do people live?"

Master Jiu asked!

"Live on the street in the east of the city!"

Laixi hurriedly replied, since the master asked to investigate clearly, Laixi naturally investigated clearly from inside to outside, from top to bottom!

It's almost as if the [-] generations of ancestors were found out.

"Oh, grandpa, go and see!"

The person who can fail the ranking four times is really amazing to Master Jiu!

There are not a few people who fail the ranking each time, and there are also many who fail the ranking four times.

What Jiu Ye was curious about was that he had heard of Xu Luan's reputation before, Ren Ye was indeed a talent, as for why he couldn't make the list, the reason for this was somewhat puzzling.

When Master Jiu found Xu Luan, he was still reading in the room, as if he didn't hear anything outside the window.

"you are?"

A look of surprise flashed in Xu Luan's eyes at Master Jiu who came to him suddenly.

After all, even poor dogs in his family are unwilling to come, let alone people.

"This is the emperor's ninth elder brother."

Master Jiu didn't speak, but the one who introduced him was Laixi who came with him.

"The villain doesn't know it's Brother Jiu, so he asks Brother Jiu to suffer."

Xu Luan stood up, walked in front of Master Jiu, clasped his fists and bowed slightly, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude.

"It's the king who is being rude."

Master Jiu is also a person who cherishes talents, and nodded with a smile.

"I don't know why brother Jiu came to the villain, what's the matter?"

Xu Luan stood up straight.

Originally wanted to serve Jiu Ye a cup of hot tea, but after thinking about it, it seemed that his family did not have such a luxury as tea, so he had no choice but to give up and took him to a table beside him to sit down.

Jiu Ye naturally didn't miss his sip of tea, so he didn't care.

After sitting down, he opened his mouth and said:
"My king heard that you are very knowledgeable, so I want to ask for advice."

Master Jiu knew that he was not the material for studying, so he had to listen to other people's opinions if he wanted to solve the problem of the Yellow River bursting embankment.

Those officials of the imperial court would only take advantage of the flood to say that they were dealing with the flood, but in fact they were embezzling for personal gain.

Therefore, Master Jiu didn't even bother to listen to their empty talk.

"I don't dare to ask for advice, just ask brother Jiu to speak directly."

Xu Luan raised his brows slightly, obviously he was happy to discuss things with Master Jiu.

"As far as the Yellow River flood is concerned, how do you think it should be handled properly?"

Master Jiu doesn't beat around the bush, everyone is smart, so there's no need to go around when talking.

"..."

Xu Luan didn't answer Jiuye's question for a while.

Instead, he frowned and pondered for a long time before saying:

"Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to completely cure the flood."

After talking about this topic, Xu Luan's expression became much more serious.

He grew up by this water since he was a child, and he knows the problem very well.

It is simply impossible to completely solve the flood problem.

The locals know this.Therefore, there is no hope for Master Jiu to control the flood.

"Well, let's talk about it."

Master Jiu raised his eyebrows. In the last life, until the fourth son succeeded to the throne, the flood in the Yellow River was not well managed, so Master Jiu didn't necessarily need to hear a treatment plan when he came here.

"Um······"

Xu Luan frowned and murmured, then carefully glanced at Master Jiu, seeing the anticipation on Master Jiu's face, Xu Luan was relieved.

He did sort out the problem of flooding, but because he was an unknown scholar, this matter was put on hold.

Now, seeing Master Jiu mentioning it, Xu Luan felt a glimmer of expectation in his heart.

"First of all, building dikes is the most effective way to deal with flooding."

Xu Luan was not a talkative person in the first place, but now, when he talked about these things with Master Jiu, he talked so much that it seemed like he could never finish.

"The second is to dredge the river channel, and realize the water storage and discharge of the Yellow River by opening multiple river channels in the Yellow River Basin..."

When Xu Luan talked about excitement, his tone was much higher.

Master Jiu nodded as he listened, but when Xu Luan talked about the opening of multiple rivers, Master Jiu frowned.

"Did you know that the Yellow River Basin involves a huge area, and the opening of multiple river channels is a long-lasting project that spans river basins and regions and costs a lot of money?"

Although Master Jiu thought Xu Luan's proposal was very good, it was not practical.

"Well... In fact, the imperial court can use private power to get the common people to participate in dredging the mainstream of the river. This way, on the one hand, the local people can contribute manpower and material resources, and relieve the pressure on the imperial court. On the other hand, it can also Avoid problems such as civil riots caused by floods.”

Xu Luan thought for a while and said.

He was just making a suggestion, but he didn't expect that just after he finished speaking, Master Jiu was suddenly enlightened, and the string that had been tense was broken in an instant.

It is not that no one in the imperial court proposed to open the river before, but because it took too much manpower and material resources, it had to be scrapped.

Now, after hearing what Xu Luan said, Master Jiu felt that the problem that troubled him before was no longer a problem.

"Hehe, this king has been taught!"

Master Jiu really had to admire this person.

"I don't know if you would like to be the Governor of Waterways!"

Opening the waterway is a big project, Jiuye can't stay here forever, so he needs to find someone who is familiar with the situation here and knows how to manage it to stay here.

And Xu Luan in front of him is undoubtedly the most suitable.

"I?"

Xu Luan was surprised and unbelievable for a moment, and his eyes revealed a light of excitement.

But it was only for a moment, he was just a scholar, and he could be the governor of waterways.

"Are you confident in what you just said?"

Seeing Xu Luan's eyes turn from excitement to dullness, Master Jiu raised his brows slightly.

"Of course there is!"

Since Xu Luan dared to say it, he was somewhat sure. The reason why he was not confident just now was because he failed the exam four times.

"That's good!"

Master Jiu stood up after finishing speaking, he would not be mistaken, Xu Luan is a talent, it would be a pity if he was left hanging like this.

"I'm leaving first, and tomorrow you will come to the yamen to find me."

After finishing speaking, Master Jiu took Laixi and left.

He will go to the yamen first, which will give Xu Luan an official of the governor of waterways, and he has to write a memorial and send it to Jiangnan.

Ninth Grandfather was unambiguous, first he talked about Xu Luan's proposal, then he talked about Xu Luan's many benefits, and then tried to recommend Xu Luan to Kangxi Lord to be the governor of waterways to control the flood of the Yellow River.

The memorial was expedited, so on the third day, Lord Jiu received the imperial edict from Lord Kangxi.

One is to make Xu Luan the Governor of Waterways as Master Jiu wished.

The second is to order Lord Jiu to come to Jinling as soon as possible after he arranges the affairs here.

Since the imperial decree is below, Master Jiu will naturally not procrastinate.In three days, everything here was handed over to Xu Luan.

Sun Qiaoer also arranged to live in the new house.

And he himself took the Thirteenth Master and Liu Chen and left Kaifeng Mansion.

Because Master Jiu's injury was still not healed, he could only make a carriage, dangling around, and arrived in Jinling at the end of August.

By then, Master Jiu's body will be fully healed.

When they arrived in Jinling, Lord Jiu had not had time to rest for two days, so Lord Kangxi ordered him to return to Beijing.

　I fell asleep so sleepy last night, I forgot to release it on time, I will make it up later today and there are still four chapters
