The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 1008

The news of Wenshui River and Nu River bursting their embankments was reported to the Jinluan Hall at the same time.

"Report to the emperor that houses in Chuhuai County have been flooded."

"Report to the emperor that the houses in Jiangning County have been flooded."

"Report to the emperor that the disaster in Wenshui County is serious and the people have been displaced."

……

Officials reported that more than a dozen small counties along the Wenshui River and the lower reaches of the Nu River were all swallowed up by the flood, thousands of houses were destroyed, and people were displaced.

The Emperor of Chu was furious, "Isn't the rain too light? Why did the embankment burst instead?"

"I don't know." The official who came to report the disaster knelt in front of the case tremblingly, feeling the anger of the Chu emperor, so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

After a while, the Emperor of Chu suppressed his anger, calmed down, and glanced at his side, "Notify the princes and officials from the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Households, and Ministry of War to enter the palace immediately and come to see me in the imperial study."

The situation was serious, and within half an hour, the prince, officials from the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Households, and Ministry of War gathered in the imperial study.

The atmosphere in the royal study was solemn.

The emperor of Chu focused his attention on the officials of the Ministry of Industry first, "The embankment damaged by the flood is about to be reinforced. Why did it suddenly collapse? Who can explain it to me?"

Several officials from the Ministry of Industry peeked at each other, but they didn't know how to respond to the Emperor Chu. They didn't know why the river embankment that was about to be completed suddenly collapsed. Before, they also suspected that the river embankment was artificially damaged. During the on-site inspection, no trace of man-made damage was found.

Facing the coercion emanating from the Emperor Chu, Liu Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, pondered for a while, and said bravely: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the reason why the river embankment suddenly collapsed is because the craftsmen who built the embankment Technology doesn't work."

The reason why Liu Jing said this was because he was dissatisfied with Long Yu's summoning of craftsmen from the folk.

Previously, the Ministry of Industry was responsible for the construction of the embankment. This time, Long Yu summoned craftsmen from the people and asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to supervise them. Some of them slapped the Ministry of Industry in the face. Now that something happened, the Ministry of Industry would naturally not be responsible for it. responsibility.

"Father, Nu Erchen said bluntly, the third brother is the god of war in my great Chu. Unsurpassed in deploying soldiers and fighting in battle, but he still lacks experience in dealing with flood relief. Those folk craftsmen are still inexperienced Okay, the construction of the embankment has always been the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, so I also believe that the sudden collapse of the embankment is because the third brother hired the wrong person." Long Yi stood up and said.

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

……

A group of ministers wisely defended themselves and seconded the proposal one after another. The embankment was destroyed, and the Emperor Chu was furious. If they didn't find someone to take responsibility in time, the anger of the Emperor Chu would inevitably burn on themselves.

A cold smile overflowed from Long Yi's eyes.

So what if Long Yu enjoys the title of God of War, there is no one in the court, and it is difficult to fight alone. The great Chu's country is destined to belong to him, Long Yi.

In his heart, Emperor Chu was still facing the King of War, Long Yu, and when he heard the ministers accusing Long Yu one after another, the expression on his face changed invisibly.

"If it is true that the King of War has improperly employed people this time, I will hold him accountable. Now, I have called you here to discuss a rescue strategy."

"Father, my son is willing to rush to the disaster area for disaster relief." Long Yi said.

Emperor Chu looked a little better, "Prince Ning, what good strategy do you have?"

On the way into the palace, Long Yi had already thought about what the Emperor Chu would ask and how he should answer.

"Father, the embankment collapsed, and the people in the middle and lower reaches were the hardest hit. The houses were destroyed by the flood, and many people were homeless. What I want is to ask the Ministry of War to cooperate and build temporary tents in the middle and lower reaches for the people. Occupy the refuge, the Ministry of Households will raise funds, deliver rice and grain to the disaster area, and prevent the victims from starving and rioting. The Ministry of Industry will deploy manpower to restore the collapsed river section as soon as possible. , the plague broke out, food, medicinal materials, quilts, everything is indispensable."
