Group favorite little milk bag, I am the most arrogant cub in the whole dynasty

Chapter 1040 He is an old fox, and he is also afraid of you, a big tiger.
After Tang Xian took the topographic map, he saw that she was lost in thought and whispered, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Fu Jiujiu was brought back from his thoughts by his gentle voice, "Not at all. I was thinking about what those women outside would do if they encountered the same situation as me."

Tang Xian's face turned red. Fu Jiujiu was his wife, the person he had grown up with. He was not shy, but those people outside were different.

"Then have you thought of any good ideas?"

Fu Jiujiu nodded, "There is a way. Just let Nian Xia do it later. I'll look at the map."

Compared with today's maps, ancient maps were too sloppy. Fortunately, Tang Xian was there to explain them to her.

"Right now, there is serious water accumulation here, and the reservoir has been washed away. Blocking it is definitely not possible, because there will be a lot of rainfall soon, so we can only dredge it, but if we want to merge it into the nearest river... it can only be here."

Tang Xian nodded, "However, I think so too, but it will be difficult to dig hundreds of miles of ditches in three days."

"Suffering is better than waiting to die. It's not just the officers and soldiers, but also the people? Don't they want to protect their homeland?"

Fu Jiujiu's words awakened Tang Xian, "Yes, if you let them eat enough, they will naturally have strength. I actually forgot about them."

"I'll ask someone to make arrangements right now. The ditch must be dug before the heavy rain."

Tang Xian asked Ru to call the Governor of Jiangcheng to see him. He came in such a hurry that the Governor of Jiangcheng had not had time to see him.

Ao Bingrong, the governor of the capital, knew that the crown prince and crown princess had arrived in Yixian County, which was the hardest hit by the disaster. He was already on his way there. However, as soon as he set out, he heard that the magistrate of Yixian County, Xu Chengzhi, who was his brother-in-law, had his home confiscated. .

He was so frightened that he went back and changed his clothes before rushing over.

After all his troubles, it was almost dark when he arrived.

"The Governor of Jiangcheng, Ao Bingrong, sends his regards to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old..."

"No need!" Tang Xian said coldly.

Ao Bingrong stood there with his head lowered and glanced at the Crown Prince. He was indeed a high-spirited and handsome young man.

Jiangcheng is far away from the capital. It has been more than ten years since he was released as an official. His memory of the Crown Prince still lingers on when he was a child. He only heard that he was very sick and said that he would not live long, but he didn't want to... He actually lived until the death of two outstanding princes.

Of course, he had also heard about the internal fighting among the princes.

But he is a small governor, how can he control so much.

"Master Ao, I asked you to dig a canal from Yi County to Anyang County in Pingcheng within three days to prevent another heavy rain and cause the flood to spread."

"Yixian to Anyang County?" Ao Bingrong thought he heard wrongly, "His Royal Highness, is he thinking of diverting the water here to the Qiuhua River next to Anyang County?"

"Not bad." Tang Xian nodded.

"It's a good idea, but... Your Highness, three days may not be enough. Besides, why are you in such a hurry?"

Tang Xian naturally believed what Fu Jiujiu said. She said there would be heavy rain in three days, so naturally it would not be four days later.

"The current floods have not receded. If there is another heavy rain, the damage will only be more serious." Tang Xian said.

"But... three days... this can't be completed." Ao Bingrong's face fell, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. It is a blessing for the people that you care about the people, but... this task... is too difficult. , more than 100 miles, not dozens of miles, where will the manpower come from?"

Fu Jiujiu had already thought about this for Tang Xian, "Of course we have manpower. Aren't there so many ordinary people here? And the people under you, Governor of Jiangcheng, aren't they all human?"

"This……"

"You just go ahead and make arrangements. The Crown Princess and I will mobilize the people who are affected by the disaster. As for the people who are not affected by the disaster, if they are willing to go this time, they will be exempted from all taxes and grains during the autumn harvest." "This... tax-free grains? How can that be done? ah?"

"As long as I say yes," Tang Xian said in a deep voice.

Ao Bingrong was so frightened that he rushed back to do things without stopping. In his opinion, he still felt that it was impossible to accomplish.

Mrs. Ao Xu Pingjun came into the study crying, "Master, what's going on with Cheng Zhi? You can't ignore it, I'm just such a little brother."

"do not Cry!"

Ao Bingrong said, "I can hardly keep my own black hat. I still care about your brother. He deserves it. I told him to calm down. He refused to listen. But now it's better. I almost got involved. You You still have the nerve to cry."

Xu Pingjun didn't dare to cry when he said this, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm going to die. This young prince is young and energetic. He is eager to make some achievements. He doesn't care about our life or death. He asked me to dig a canal that is hundreds of miles long. It must be done within three days. I...I will go You can’t dig it out even if you dig it out.”

"Why does it have to be within three days?" Mrs. Ao asked again.

"I didn't know. It's a good day. He's worried about the rain. Anyway, this guy is hard to take care of. Let's send him away first. Don't mention your brother's matter again."

After Ao Bingrong left, Fu Jiujiu entered the house.

Originally, Tang Xian wanted her to come with him, but Fu Jiujiu didn't want people to say that she interfered in political affairs. Although she did interfere a lot, she didn't want to live up to the facts.

Tang Xian waved to her, but Fu Jiujiu didn't sit over and rolled her eyes at him.

"This old fox was afraid that he had heard something, so he came to see me wearing an old official uniform."

"Whatever it is, you are a tiger, the king of beasts. They have to behave when they see you." Fu Jiujiu said, "Not to mention a stupid fox."

"How do you say that?" Tang Xian raised his eyebrows.

"This fox is not willing to do things for you. He is delaying your orders. Who does he belong to?" Fu Jiujiu hit the nail on the head.

Tang Xian curled his lips, "It's a good thing you are a woman, otherwise I would have had a huge headache. He has something to do with Sixth Brother."

"I thought they were from Tang Xiu."

But think about it, Tang Xiu has died a long time ago, and the trees fell and the hozens scattered.

"So Tang Jue is making trouble again?"

Tang Xian shook his head, "He is a person who will find trouble at critical moments even if he is just a spectator. How can he watch others shine on the stage with peace of mind?"

"That's right, otherwise it wouldn't be him, but I still don't know whose trouble it is." Fu tweeted.

Tang Xian took a deep breath, "Do you still have enough food?"

Fu Jiujiu blinked, "Of course it's enough, there's still a lot more. The problem now is not food, but discharging the flood as quickly as possible."

Tang Xian naturally knew it, but it was indeed a bit difficult to cover hundreds of miles of canals in three days.

But if you look closely, the amount of water is too much. If you can't save this place, then other places will be flooded, right?
Moreover, there will be heavy rain, and there will only be more rain. Draining it into the river is the safest way.
