Chapter 334 The Difference Between Disaster Prevention and Rescue
King Xing's mansion was up and down.

Tang Yin first summoned Zhu Chen, the chief of ceremonial guards of the palace, and ordered him to summon the guards and craftsmen to stand by. He then asked Luo Sheng, the deputy of the ceremonial guards, to take his son Luo An and others to rush to the river embankment outside the city to monitor the water level, and then he arranged Lu Song went to prepare the car to drive, and went directly to the west courtyard to find Zhu Hao.

Tang Yin knocked on the door in a hurry, and there was a lot of commotion. Jing Hong was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the bed.

"Ok?"

Jing Hong opened his sleepy eyes and looked around in horror, like a frightened deer.

Zhu Hao went out of the room to open the courtyard door, and saw Tang Yin's face glowing red under the light of the torch, as soon as he saw Zhu Hao, he hurriedly said: "Come, follow me to the embankment, and talk to me on the way."

Just as he was about to reach out to grab Zhu Hao's hand, he found that Zhu Hao took a step back to avoid it.

"you?"

Tang Yin was puzzled.

Zhu Hao acted calmly and asked, "Is Hong Feng really here?"

"Hong Feng?"

Tang Yin's eyes were full of puzzlement.

"It is the peak condition that can be reached when the flood crosses the border, and it can also be said to be the maximum flow... Ah, no, at this point in time, the peak of the flood should not have arrived. Is the Han River rising very much?" Zhu Hao asked again.

Tang Yindao: "You know all about it, so why ask? King Xing asked me to take you up the embankment with me. I submitted the river map you drew to King Xing. Yuan Changshi took it to meet the people in the state government, and spent the night Organize people to protect the river embankment, it may be too late to raise funds now!"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I won't be able to help even if I go, and it's inevitable to be in a hurry when it comes to temporary fundraising. Let me just ask, are the sandbags ready?"

Tang Yin was speechless.

Before you predicted that there would be a big flood in the local area, no one took your warning seriously, but now that the flood has really come, you have calmed down instead?
Looking at you like this, you don't want to go to the river embankment to help me!
"What King Xing means... let us take people to the section of the river adjacent to Wangtian, and be ready to deal with it at any time. The terrain there is relatively high. As long as the levee is not washed away, the dam will be safe..."

Tang Yin thought that Zhu Hao was worried about his own safety, so he quickly explained.

Zhu Hao was unmoved, and said solemnly: "I have checked the situation of the Anlu section of the Han River, the dam near the Wangtian of Xingwang Mansion has been reinforced at ordinary times, and the possibility of the dyke breaking is not high. The problem is that the Xingwang Mansion is currently guarding This section of the embankment is meaningless, even if something happens, the loss of property is within acceptable limits...Xing Wangfu must rely on this early warning and urgent repair of the embankment to win fame and the reputation of the ruling and opposition parties."

Hearing Zhu Hao's eloquent talk, Tang Yin was taken aback for a moment, thinking carefully but couldn't figure it out.

"What do you mean by that?"

Tang Yin's mind was muddled.

Zhu Haodao: "What I mean is...you can just take people to protect those low-lying river embankments that are in disrepair and are prone to breaches. I'll go home first, ask my mother to come forward, contact the merchants in the city, and then the merchants Inform the gentry, and the gentry will send people to report to each village... Now the most important thing is to warn the sleeping people in the village outside the city, isn’t it?”

Tang Yin thought about it.

It seems to be the case.

My own thinking has entered a misunderstanding, thinking that the flood is coming, and I have to rush to repair the embankment. The problem is that the people outside the city do not know that the flood is coming. If the people outside the city do not organize their evacuation this night, which section of the embankment will be washed away by the flood tomorrow? , leading to the flooding of a large number of villages, causing countless casualties... The trouble will be big.

"But King Xing..."

"King Xing's opinion is to protect the river embankment around his own field first, and his thinking is limited to minimize his own losses, but my idea is to use this flood to accumulate contacts and reputation for King Xing... Who do you listen to? "

Zhu Hao's question was straightforward.

If you listen to King Xing, take people to guard the river embankment near the fields of King Xing’s mansion, and if you listen to me, go to rush to repair those dangerous river embankments. You can only choose one of the two!

Tang Yin really wanted to say, why did you let me listen to you, kid?

Can you bear it if something goes wrong?
But he had summed up his experience long ago, and if he didn't listen to Zhu Hao's opinion, he must be the one who suffered in the end.

"Come on!"

Tang Yin made a decisive decision, he really has the demeanor of a general.

Immediately a guard came over to salute: "Sir, what do you do?"

Tang Yin shouted sharply: "Hurry up and inform His Royal Highness King Xing that I, Tang Yin, will go against his will for the time being and rush to repair the damaged section of the river that has been in disrepair all year round. The dam near the fields of King Xing's mansion must be put aside first..."

"what?"

The guard was startled.

The aides hired by the palace don't take care of their own property first, but protect the safety of the local people first?You still ask me to report to King Xing so aboveboard?

"Report truthfully, and let Zhu Weizheng come to see me, and tell me on the way..."

After saying that, Tang Yin turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he remembered something, turned his head and ordered, "Zhu Hao, hurry home and inform Ling Tang. I will entrust you with the errands that King Xing has not given!"

……

……

Tang Yin listened to Zhu Hao's advice and made his own decision. While taking people from the Xing Palace to repair the seriously damaged section of the Han River, he sent Zhu Hao to notify the people outside the city to evacuate.

Anluzhou City became lively because of the sudden warning from Xingwang Mansion.

Here Yuan Zonggao went to see Zhang Yezheng, and the behavior of the state government made him very angry, because the other party obviously treated him coldly, and he waited for half an hour before seeing Zhang Yezheng.

"Yuan Changshi, you are just an official of Prince Xing's Mansion, and your three-acre land is not in the prefecture or county yamen."

Zhang Yezheng belonged to the family of eating the king and taking care of the king. Since he was entrusted by the traitor to monitor and guard against Xing Wang's mansion, he would not give a good face when he saw someone coming from Xing Wang's mansion.

Yuan Zonggao said: "The old man doesn't want to ask about local affairs, but the palace sent people to find out that the water level of the Han River has skyrocketed tonight. I believe that the river will overflow the embankment before dawn, causing serious floods..."

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Yezheng laughed loudly, and the staff and subordinates beside him also laughed.

"Although Prince Xing's Mansion doesn't interfere with local affairs, if there is a disaster, isn't it normal for Yuan to come to inform the state government? You, Zhang Zhizhou, feel that you have someone in the court to support you, and there is a catastrophe in the area under your jurisdiction. , even if you don’t do anything, can you still keep your official position?”

Yuan Zonggao's tone turned cold, "If it's really because of your negligence of duty that your life will be ruined, Xingwang's Mansion will definitely participate in the local book, and let the court know what you, a parent official of a state, have done in the face of disaster."

Zhang Yezheng wanted to argue, but the staff next to him whispered something in his ear.

Although Yuan Zonggao didn't know what he said specifically, the possibility of persuasion is very high, which shows that Zhang Yezheng still has smart people under his command.

Xing Wang's mansion will not just look for trouble, and send the head of the palace, Shi, to play with people in the state government in the middle of the night?

As long as people are sent to investigate things like floods outside the city, they will know. Since King Xing's Mansion said there was one, it is probably true... It just depends on whether the state government will cooperate with King Xing's mansion.

Zhang Yezheng said: "Thank you Yuan Changshi for running late at night. Regarding the matter of disaster prevention, I will discuss it with the local officials and gentry after dawn..."

Yuan Zonggao suddenly became angry: "Didn't you hear what the old man said? Now I can't wait to see you!"

Zhang Yezheng was unusually indifferent: "See off the guests!"

……

……

Yuan Zonggao was kicked out of the state government just like that.

It happened so suddenly that he didn't expect it... Obviously I came to warn you, and you all know that I am not joking, so why not take it seriously?

When Yuan Zonggao returned to King Xing's mansion, he learned of Tang Yin's "wonderful" move, and actually went against King Xing's order to rush to repair the dangerous embankment first.

Yuan Zonggao thought: "Bohu didn't predict in advance that I wouldn't get any help when I went to the state government, so he did it on his own?"

In any case, Yuan Zonggao went to see King Xing first, but unexpectedly in the study of the palace, he saw Zhu Hao who had already returned home and came to see Zhu Youzhao with the intention of Zhu Niang.

"Yuan Changshi, you came just in time, what does the state government say?"

Zhu Youzhu looked at Yuan Zonggao eagerly.

Yuan Zonggao glanced at Zhu Hao first, wondering why this kid didn't follow Tang Yin to the river embankment, but appeared here, and then he said with some regret: "The state government doesn't seem to care about the warning from the palace."

Zhu Youzhao sighed, "Sure enough."

Yuan Zonggao was at a loss, which means...someone had analyzed the situation with King Xing in advance, thinking that the local government would ignore the warning from King Xing's mansion?

Zhu Youzhu pointed to Zhu Hao: "Zhu Hao, if you need something, please tell Yuan Changshi."

Zhu Haodao: "It's like this, Yuan Changshi, my mother is currently doing business in collapsed houses outside the city, and most of the merchants in the city can be contacted. Knowing that the flood is coming, I went back to find my mother and the shopkeeper, and then contacted the local Merchants and gentry, let them organize people to rush to repair the river embankment, and at the same time send people out of the city to remind the people to move..."

Yuan Zonggao stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhu Hao: "Zhu Hao, these things can be done by the government... What do you mean?"

Zhu Hao looked calm: "Based on Wansheng's understanding of the local Xinzhizhou, he is the kind of person who would rather wait for a catastrophe to organize a disaster relief effort than take the initiative to prevent disasters..."

Yuan Zonggao couldn't help taking a breath when he heard this.

If he heard Zhu Hao's analysis before he went to see Zhang Yezheng, he would not have believed it.

But after a trip to the state government office, he realized that it seemed... Zhang Yezheng was such a villain.

No matter how good disaster prevention is, there is no credit afterwards.

Instead, they don’t take precautions and wait for the disaster to happen. During the disaster relief, not only the government’s disaster relief funds can be embezzled, but also political achievements can be made from the disaster relief...

Zhu Hao understood Zhang Yezheng's temperament of deceiving officials like this very clearly.

Zhu Youzhao sighed: "I didn't expect that the local government would turn a deaf ear to the king's warning and ignore the life and death of the people. Such officials... should be removed from the court!"

Yuan Zonggao finally recognized the reality, and asked Zhu Hao: "Then Zhu Hao, if merchants come forward, will those gentry... agree and contribute money and effort?"

Zhu Hao nodded: "The catastrophe is approaching, if the local gentry don't even care about their own land, people and animals, then why would they gain a foothold in Anlu? Official disaster relief is for political achievements, while local gentry and common people prevent disasters for the sake of To find a way to survive and avoid casualties, the starting point is different."

Although Yuan Zonggao didn't want to agree with this statement, he couldn't help but nodded.

After all, Zhang Yezheng is a low-level official and has no property in Anlu. A flood will have little effect on him, but the gentry and common people are different.

The land, people, animals, and goods are all on the land outside the city. When the flood comes, won’t it all be ruined?At this time, who doesn't fight hard to keep personal and property safety?
If you feel that the early warning from King Xing's Mansion is false, and you don't believe it, you can send people to the river embankment to have a look instead of sending someone to verify it.
