Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 253 A good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone

"By the way, I heard that the emperor had summoned the ministers of the DPRK and China to discuss the disaster relief strategy as soon as the floods occurred. However, there were so many ministers in the DPRK and the DPRK who couldn't do anything about it. If you can show your strength at this time, …”

Chu Yu rejected his words without thinking: "How can I, a woman, know anything about political affairs? Let alone disaster relief. I am still having a headache on how to explain to the prince the corruption of my subordinates."

"So you have to find a way to make up for your mistakes. As long as you beat Xu Ruqing once, let alone King Wei, I believe even the emperor will have to think highly of you. Don't miss this good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone."

Chu Yu raised his eyes: "What should I do?"

"I found out that Xu Ruqing has come up with a disaster relief plan..." Neng Jia looked directly into Chu Yu's eyes, and the meaning of that look was self-evident.

Chu Yu understood what he meant, opened his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

At dawn the next day, Xu Ruqing got up early, freshened up, and left the tent. She was going to the area south of the Yellow River to survey the situation, and to inspect the progress of the medicinal herbs and aquaculture areas.

Because of the Su Jiajun's timely response to the flood, the dams north of the Yellow River were quickly repaired, which largely prevented the people living nearby from being harmed. However, south of the Yellow River was not so lucky. The floods were as fierce and fast as wild beasts. Although it had already We tried our best to rescue, but many people still lost their lives due to the flood attack.

Xu Ruqing walked with a heavy heart. Every two steps he could see a corpse. They were neatly placed on both sides of the road and covered with a white cloth. The people who had lost their loved ones cried bitterly in the mud.

It rained again, and the howling rain drowned out the people's plaintive cries.

"Let's all give way, let's give way!"

Two young and strong men, dressed in plain clothes, came forward and were carrying a body fished out of the river on a stretcher.

Xuan Qing held an umbrella for Xu Ruqing. Xu Ruqing saw this and squatted down in front of a corpse. Due to her occupational disease, she subconsciously wanted to remove the white cloth covering the corpse, but as soon as she reached out, she was stopped by the person behind her.

Xuan Qing shook his head slightly at her: "The cause of death of these people has not been determined yet. It is best for the princess not to come into contact with the corpses, and try to stand as far away as possible, so as not to suffer bad luck."

Xuan Qing's words were listened to word by word by the refugees not far away. Before Xu Ruqing could speak, a frail old woman lying on the corpse pointed at Xu Ruqing and cried: "Unlucky? You actually said my son unlucky?!"

"You think this is a dirty thing, but in our opinion, what is lying on these stretchers is the backbone of a family, the support of a woman who was pregnant for ten months. Now she is dead at a young age and does not receive any sympathy. Even if I don’t say anything, I still feel despised by you... My son is pitiful, he was bullied and suppressed when he was alive, and he will be bullied by you even after he is dead, wuwuwu..."

After the old woman exaggerated, the people around her started talking louder.

"That's right, if you think you're dirty, why are you here? If you're showing off to someone, just go back to where you came from..."

"I saw with my own eyes that the concubine Chu had arrived a few days ago. The concubine who came here unhurriedly today must not have cared about us people."

"No, it's not her son who died. How can she understand the pain of losing her son..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the world has really changed, the world has gone downhill, anyone can be a princess!"

"..."

Xuan Qing Xuan Yu clenched the sword in his hand and uttered obscene words one after another.

Xuan Qing finally couldn't listen anymore and narrowed his eyes seriously, wanting to draw his sword and teach those people with dirty mouths a lesson.Xu Ruqing stretched out her hand and gently covered Xuan Qing's sword-drawing hand, shaking her head gently at him: "Don't be impulsive."

"princess……"

Xuan Qing looked at Xu Ruqing guiltily, with indescribable anger and guilt in his eyes.

When he came, the prince told her that the princess was in better health and that she must not be infected by the illness. He originally thought about Xu Ruqing, but he didn't want his unintentional words to cause her a lot of trouble.

Xu Ruqing's eyes were as indifferent as ever, "It's okay, let them go, we have more important things to do."

Xuan Qing nodded and took back his sword: "Yes."

Xuan Qing and Xuan Yu followed Xu Ruqing all the way down, and based on the current injury status and existing resources, they temporarily provided the best possible help to the suffering people.

First, the number of soup kitchen shacks and medical stations was doubled, which were closely linked and supervised by relevant responsible persons.Then a sum of money was allocated to gather the homeless victims together as much as possible and build temporary strong shelters for them, so that they could better calm down their emotions and recover physically.

"The difference between the height of that channel and the horizon is only five meters, and below the flood cliff is a sunken canyon. When the flood comes, it will inevitably break through the barrier and then follow the terrain all the way down, submerging the villages living below. This is The reason why there are more casualties in the South River than in the North River." Xu Ruqing came to the edge of the rolling Yellow River and pointed to the distance not far away through the solid fence.

"Yes, when he received the news of the disaster in Nanhe, the prince had already sent people to survey the situation on the ground. The ridges and flood cliffs in that area were naturally formed. When the water of the Yellow River comes, it is like an unstoppable army of thousands of horses. A flood Almost no one in the villages below was spared.”

Xu Ruqing held on to the fence and tapped her fingers rhythmically: "If we can build a waterproof dam on both sides of the Yellow River and the middle of it, and dig out a few branches to divert the water and reduce the water potential, we may be able to reduce the damage caused by floods. .”

Xuan Qing thought Xu Ruqing's idea was fanciful: "The princess is joking. You haven't seen the water flow of the Yellow River. Just standing outside the fence dozens of meters away and looking at it can't help but be blown away by the water vapor. As soon as anyone gets close, It will be swept into the water, and it is impossible to build dams on both sides of the river and interrupt it, let alone dig out a diversion close to the Yellow River."

Xu Ruqing fell into deep thought. How to approach the Yellow River and enter into its management is indeed a question worth pondering.

It seems that the original drawings and disaster relief strategies still need to be improved. After such a trip, Xu Ruqing's ideas became more and more full.

"Almost, let's go back."

"Yes."

……

Chu Yu originally planned to apologize to Su Yichen today to explain the corruption of his subordinates, but then he thought about what Xian Jia said last night was not unreasonable, so he turned around and came to Xu Ruqing.

"Our princess went out early in the morning, and I don't know when she will come back. I'd better invite my concubine back first."

"Since the princess sister is not here, I will wait here for her to come back. Go and show me where to sit."

"This……"

Zhiqu went to Guard Xuan, and Xuan Qing Xuanyu also followed the princess out. Qiu Ju was the only one left to guard the huge tent. She was really not sure to pay attention for a moment.
