Chapter 113

Wang Xin closed his eyes. Today in the imperial study, the emperor became very angry.Several ministers took advantage of the disaster and persuaded the emperor to make Princess Qi Yan his queen for the sake of the people of Tianyuan.

In the emperor's opinion, the disaster brought by God was just a trick of the envoy of Chang'an, and it was completely false. He would get angry if anyone mentioned it.

Zhang Su also came to offer countermeasures to deal with the flood. Isn't this just hitting the tip of a spear?

"Oh -" Feng Chenghan drawled a long voice, his eyes cold, "Do you also believe that God brings disasters, do you think there will be floods?"

Zhang Su shuddered, lowered his head and said: "Wei Chen doesn't believe in God's talk of disaster, but this flood is very likely to happen. The weather is getting warmer, and a lot of snow turns into water, causing the water level of the river to rise. , when the rainy season comes, it is indeed possible to cause floods. If floods do occur, livestock die, and water sources are polluted, it is also very likely that plague will occur."

Feng Chenghan's eyes widened a bit, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Without hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Su continued: "Now that we know there may be floods, we should naturally take precautions and make preparations in advance."

Wang Xin glanced at Zhang Su and whispered to the emperor: "Speaking of which, there was a snow disaster more than ten years ago. There was also a flood in the rainy season that year. After the flood, a small-scale plague did appear."

The people's lives were miserable that year, and there were refugees everywhere who had been displaced by the disaster.At the beginning, some people said that it was because God couldn't stand it anymore because of the late emperor's debauchery, so he brought disasters. The late emperor even went to pray for blessings from heaven!

Now what the guard said, this flood and plague is just a chain reaction caused by the snow disaster.

Feng Chenghan said nothing and winked at Wang Xin.

Wang Xin walked up to Zhang Su knowingly, took the envelope from his hand, opened it, took out the paper full of words inside, and handed it to the emperor with both hands.

Feng Chenghan opened the folded paper and looked at it line by line. He quickly read through the countermeasures to prevent floods and plagues.

When he looked at Zhang Su who was kneeling on the ground again, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

What a guard can understand, but those ministers don't understand. They all clamor for him to make Qi Yan his queen and use her good fortune to ward off disasters.If they could figure it out like this cold palace guard, they wouldn't be deceived by King Chang'an and insist on making Qi Yan his queen.

"Get up!" Feng Chenghan's voice gained some warmth.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Su breathed a sigh of relief and his heartbeat stabilized.

"What do you want?" Feng Chenghan looked at him and asked.A guard who came to stop his chariot must have something he wanted.Judging from the countermeasures he wrote, it seems that he is quite good at preventing and controlling floods. He could be transferred to the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry to be a Yuanwailang.

Zhang Su lowered his head and said, "I don't want anything. I just want to save the people of Tianyuan from disasters."

Feng Chenghan didn't believe that he didn't want anything, and sneered: "You will report to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow."

"!" Zhang Su was shocked.

Wang Xin said with a smile: "What are you still waiting for? Mr. Zhang won't accept the order to thank you!"

"Oh." Zhang Su quickly bowed his head and knelt down, "My humble minister Zhang Su thanks the Lord for His kindness."

Yujia had gone far, but Zhang Su was still confused.He is going to serve in the Ministry of Industry. From now on, he is no longer Guard Zhang, but Lord Zhang.

Although he had no intention of getting anything by offering advice, he was still very happy and excited when the emperor asked him to serve in the Ministry of Industry.Zhang Su returned to Leng Gong with a silly smile and told Sun Ming, who was on duty, that he was going to report to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow.

"It's so good, why did the emperor ask you to report to the Ministry of Industry?" Sun Ming felt a little strange.

Zhang Su regarded all the guards in Leng Palace as brothers and did not hide anything. He told Sun Ming everything.

Although Sun Ming envied Zhang Su, he was also happy for him. At the same time, he was also a little regretful that he was not the one who heard those words from the Empress.If he were Zhang Su, he would also run to the emperor to offer advice like Zhang Su.

Those words were heard by Zhang Su, which also meant that this was his opportunity.

"Do a good job. You'll be promoted, but don't forget us brothers." Sun Ming patted Zhang Su on the shoulder.

Zhang Su said with a smile: "We are doing business together! How could I forget you. It's just that I went to the Ministry of Industry, so there is one less person in this cold palace, and I don't know if the superiors will send someone else. "

If someone else is brought in who is not of the same mind as them, it will be troublesome to talk about the affairs of the cold palace.

Sun Ming saw Zhang Su's worry, thought for a while and said: "I'll talk to the superiors and see if we can send someone in. When we are alone in the bath, we can work in two shifts. Maybe the superiors can give us more." A little subsidy!”

Guarding the cold palace is not an easy job to begin with, and no one would be willing to do it.

"I won't be able to come to this cold palace anymore. It's up to you to deliver the goods." Thinking about not being able to come here in the future, Zhang Su was very reluctant to leave and a little worried.

Sun Ming joked: "If you leave, we can earn more!"

There is a profit share for making dolls here and for giving dolls. In addition, I help bring things in for the ladies in the cold palace, and this money is given separately.Nowadays, these ladies have a lot of money in their hands, and they are very generous in their dealings!
Zhang Su smiled and chatted with Sun Ming for a few more words before leaving the palace.

After returning home, he did not tell his family the good news immediately, planning to give them a surprise when he came back in official uniform tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Zhang Su went to the Ministry of Industry to report.

The Ministry of Industry is divided into four departments, each of which is responsible for different matters.The first is the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of all business operations and construction.The second is farming, which governs the government orders for farming all over the world.The third is the Yu Department, which is in charge of the affairs of Yu Heng and Shan Ze in the world, and determines what is forbidden at the time.The fourth is the Ministry of Water, which governs the administration of water and sewerage.

Because the emperor had already sent someone to the Ministry of Works to convey the message, the Minister of the Ministry of Works also knew that there would be a guard as the Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Water Resources.

After Zhang Su arrived, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry asked the doctor of the Ministry of Water to take Zhang Su to receive official uniforms and waist badges.

Although the people in the Ministry of Works looked down on Zhang Su, a guard who became a member of their Ministry of Works, but because he was a person arranged by the emperor, they were a little wary of him and did not dare to offend him, so they were quite polite to him. Kind.

The emperor suddenly arranged for a guard to work as a minister at the Ministry of Works. This made the minister of the Ministry of Works a little uneasy and suspected that this person was specially sent by the emperor to keep an eye on him.

Zhang Su changed into his official uniform, and the doctor from the Ministry of Water spent half a day getting him familiar with the environment of the Ministry of Works. He ate on the porch at noon and took a nap.The doctor from the Ministry of Water told Zhang Su about the work they had to do every day.

All rivers and lakes in the world are registered. If any place wants to build dams or build new river channels, they will report to them first.They reviewed it first, and then wrote a note to the emperor. After the emperor approved it, they went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for the money. After the money came, it was distributed to the localities.

The doctor from the Ministry of Water explained it to Zhang Su for an entire afternoon, and he basically understood it.He also studied, and once passed the Tongsheng examination, but his father died and he stopped studying, so he could understand it.
