Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1249: With the general here, I feel at ease
When Bai Mingwei returned to the camp, the guards were already ready to go.

The borrowed boats have been sent to nearby waters.

All belongings were carried on board.

At this time, the guard came to ask Liu Yao: "Your Highness, everything is ready. Please get on the boat."

Just when Liu Yao was about to move, the boat given to them by the Yao family arrived.

Liu Yao looked at the boat, which was exquisitely made and made of special materials, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Bai Mingwei.

Bai Ming smiled slightly and told Liu Yao: "Master Yao Dewang in the town lent His Highness the boat he usually uses for business in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and also borrowed sailors and guides."

Liu Yao smiled and said: "Master Yao is so generous, has the general ever thanked him on my behalf?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "I haven't, I will come back to say thank you after I come back."

Liu Yao didn't say anything more, but he already saw the clues.

After walking a certain distance, he asked Bai Mingwei who was following him: "I have no impression of this merchant named Yao."

The implication is whether there is a hidden secret.

Bai Mingwei understood quickly.

She responded slowly: "Your Highness, this Master Yao has a great relationship with the formation of corruption in Jiangbei."

Bai Mingwei did not go into details.

But this information turned around in Liu Yao's mind, and he understood the twists and turns.

He looked back with a half-smile: "The general is using Yao Yao Dewang's ship to go deep into the tiger's den?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Exactly."

Liu Yao looked away and looked at the boat parked on the water: "That's fine. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs."

Then, he told his confidants: "From now on, we will switch from land to water. Floods are rampant and water conditions are full of uncertainty."

"Tell me to go ahead and watch every ship, respond to emergencies/situations at any time, and make all kinds of emergency preparations to avoid being caught off guard."

Confidants take orders.

In this way, Liu Yao, Bai Mingwei, Meng Ziang, and other officials boarded the boat lent to them by the merchant surnamed Yao.

The guards rode in small boats and followed behind the boats.

The group headed towards Qingdu Weir.

On the boat, Liu Yao was worried.

There were only three people in the cabin: he, Bai Mingwei, and Meng Ziang.

Meng Ziang stood aside, thinking about a plan to deal with the flood.

Seeing this, Bai Mingwei asked, "Your Highness, are you worried about the corruption situation in various places?"

Liu Yao nodded: "Although I know that worrying is useless, I am still worried. In addition, I am also worried about the safety of Prince Yu. If these madmen know what Prince Yu is doing now, they are afraid they will kill Prince Yu."

Bai Ming said slightly: "Your Highness, don't worry. I have sent a letter to Seventh Brother, asking him to change the route and try to cooperate with Prince Yu's route. With the intervention of the garrison, Prince Yu will also have an extra layer of protection."

Liu Yao nodded, and then asked: "How bad is the current situation?"

After a pause, he added: "Although you are calm in dealing with things, I also know that more and more forces are involved."

"There are some things that I can feel more at ease with if I know it in my mind, so it doesn't hurt to ask the general."

Bai Ming was silent for a moment and said slowly: "The current situation is that the prince cannot concentrate on matters in Jiangbei. However, the long-term communication has been cut off, and Qin Fengye is afraid that there will be big moves."

"Not only that, Bei Yan, who is determined to cling to it, and Xi Chu, who has not made any moves, may take advantage of the disaster in Jiangbei to cause trouble." "This move of businessmen becoming officials will not only be used by the Qin Party forces to deal with Our sharp weapon will inevitably encounter opposition from forces whose interests are affected by this move."

Later, Bai Mingwei explained to Liu Yao all the possibilities analyzed by her and Ling.

After hearing this, Liu Yao was silent for a while.

Finally, he let out a long sigh: "What the general said is true. On the surface, it is indeed because of the move of merchants to become officials that businessmen from all over the country are frantically stocking up on food in order to enter the official career."

"When there is a market, there are interests. It is only under the trend of interests that those corrupt people are crazy about providing food and medicine for refugees."

Having said this, he asked Bai Mingwei: "Can this move be stopped?"

Bai Mingwei shook his head: "The imperial court does not allocate disaster relief funds, and various places in Jiangbei still rely on social warehouses. Once this initiative is stopped, the social warehouses will not be able to operate. This can be said to be a devastating disaster for the victims."

Liu Yao said: "I understand this truth. The reason why I asked the general like this is because I am worried that the imperial court will hear about this and quickly order to stop it."

"By then our hands will be tied to implement this measure, and the situation in Jiangbei will only become more critical."

Bai Ming said slightly: "Your Highness, don't worry, we still have about a month left before the court reacts."

"As long as we solve the flood problem and stop corruption within this period of time, the court will have no reason to attack us."

When Liu Yao heard this, he immediately came to a conclusion: "This also means that there will be people who will prevent us from solving the flood problem and dealing with corrupt officials."

Bai Mingwei nodded: "As His Highness said, if the other party is fully prepared, they will definitely find ways to prevent us from withdrawing floods and dredging, and will also prevent us from solving the corruption problem."

Liu Yao touched his chin: "What does the general think?"

Bai Mingwei said: "As mentioned before, we will concentrate on draining the water and clearing out the silt, attracting the other party's attention, and let Prince Yu concentrate on collecting evidence of corruption. When the time comes, we will deal with the people involved in Jiangbei together."

"This means that our journey will not be too smooth and will be full of dangers. But please rest assured, Your Highness, I will deal with these problems and eliminate all difficulties to achieve our goal."

Liu Yao nodded: "The general is confident, so I have no worries. I wonder what I might do during this process?"

Bai Mingwei told him: "Your Highness, after the corrupt officials involved in Jiangbei are arrested, they will have to be replaced. At that time, all forces will try their best to spread their influence in Jiangbei, and Your Highness can also make this preparation."

Liu Yao thought for a while and then said: "Now that there is no one available under my command, I will listen to the advice of the general."

Bai Ming said slightly: "Your Highness, before anything is accomplished, your mother clan's power will be your strong support and reliance."

But Liu Yao said: "The Wei family is very ambitious and always wants to control the king through his mother and concubine. If he relies too much on him, he is afraid that it will cause serious trouble in the future."

Bai Ming smiled and said: "But now, only they can support you wholeheartedly for their own purposes. After all, other than you, other His Highnesses dare not use them." "And Your Highness, you have no brothers, so they can only pledge their treasures to you." On you. Although this knife is sharp, it may hurt the owner, but if used properly, it is also a precious blade."

Liu Yao said: "Compared to them, I always trust the general's vision more."

Bai Ming said slightly: "The peaches and plums under my grandfather's sect are only suitable for governing the world, not for being a diligent king. If the world is peaceful in the future and they are given a suitable position, they can devote themselves to Dongling and die. However, now, they are not able to display their ambitions. opportunity."

To put it bluntly, we want to save them.

If they were allowed to make contributions at this time, it would be tantamount to putting them in danger.

By then, all of these trained talents will become victims of the struggle between various forces.

When someone was needed to manage the world, there was no one available.

But those who are only profit-seeking, hoping to gain benefits from being diligent, can play a role at this time.

After hearing what Bai Mingwei said, Liu Yao quickly understood.

He smiled knowingly: "I know what to do."

Bai Ming raised his eyes slightly, looked at Liu Yao and smiled: "Although the road ahead is dangerous, there are no thorns that cannot be cut. Please be at ease, Your Highness."

Liu Yao nodded: "With a great general, I will feel at ease."
