Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 575 Disaster Resistance
It has to be said that Li Er really has a preference for Li Taina, or in other words, Xiao Li has a preference for the children born to him and his eldest grandson.Li Tai is only an eight-year-old kid now, and he has already led more than 20 states. Although he didn't come to take office in person, here in Yangzhou, Chang Shi and Shao Yin are both one person, and it is Li Xiyu.

Xue Lang didn't participate in politics last year, and he didn't have a detailed understanding of the imperial court's re-division of the Twelve Realms of the World.This year, I re-entered the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I deliberately learned about it——

Shaoyin, also known as the supervisory censor, is the highest official of the same party. He only has the responsibility of supervision and has no responsibility for administration.Under the Dao, the prefectures and counties are separated, and the prefects of the prefectures are the governors. In addition to the governors, there are also governors, who divide the military and political power.

However, here in Yangzhou, there are a total of 22 prefectures. The governor and governor are led by Li Taiyao, king of Yue. Monitor yourself.

Today's Shaoyin, in the Xuanzong Dynasty, was renamed Jiedushi——

On how the warlord separatism was formed!

These systems are really a pain in the ass!

When he arrived at the Yangzhou Posthouse, he settled down and rested. The subordinate who came first ordered the posthouse staff to prepare hot water for him, took a bath, and let Chuxue wipe him with his hair loose. The materials he prepared for Li Xiyu.

The abilities of people are different. They are also slaves, and the treatment with Chuxue is completely different from that with Changjian.When you take Chuxue out, before you think of it, she has already made arrangements, and she takes care of Xue Lang meticulously without being asked. Changjian sometimes needs to be reminded and ordered.

After reading Li Xiyu's information, Xue Lang asked, "Has my name card been sent yet?"

"It has already been sent, Shao Yin's mansion will reply, and Li Xiyu will be waiting for the son-in-law at the mansion tomorrow."

Except for the guards who followed Xue Lang to Yangzhou, the rest were in Suzhou.Xue Lang said: "After visiting Li Xiyu tomorrow, we will return to Suzhou, and then I will lead people to inspect the water conservancy projects in the whole territory. You stay in Suzhou and wait for me, you don't have to go with me!"

Xue Lang thought that in the scorching summer, he would not be able to eat or sleep well on the road, and Chuxue, a girl who followed, would suffer, so he wanted her to stay in Suzhou.

Chuxue raised her eyes to look at Xue Lang, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I told you to let the servants accompany you to take care of the son-in-law. Wherever the son-in-law goes, the slaves will go with you!"

"However, the journey was very hard!"

"Slaves are not afraid!"

His expression was calm and his tone firm.This looks very much like Princess Pingyang, Xue Lang has a headache, so is this a servant like a master?He simply waved his hand, stopped persuading her, and planned to take care of her along the way: "Forget it, it's up to you. However, if there is anything, you can tell Changjian and the accompanying guards not to make yourself too hard. After all, you are Your Highness, I brought you out properly, and I want to return you properly."

"Thank you son-in-law."

Only then did Chuxue rejoice.

There was nothing to say all night, on the second day, Xue Lang got up and had breakfast, then went to visit Shaoyin Mansion.When he arrived, Li Xiyu greeted him personally at the door: "Your Majesty Li Xiyu pays homage to Xue Yushi, Xue Yushi has worked hard all the way, please!"

Xue Lang cupped his hands: "I'm sorry Li Shaoyin, please."

After entering the Shaoyin mansion, the guests and hosts sat down, Li Xiyu said: "The lower officials have received the imperial edict, and ordered the lower officials to cooperate with Xue Yushi to do a good job in fighting and curing disasters. This matter should be done with the help of Yushi." My lord, I will definitely cooperate fully."

Li Xiyu's reputation is good, he is upright and honest, otherwise he would not be selected to replace Yue Wangtai to exercise military and political power.

Xue Lang said: "In this way, I have to trouble Li Shaoyin."

What Yangzhou needs to do is all chores such as logistics and organizational management.Li Xiyu is also a veteran. Since receiving the notice from the court, he has consciously ordered people to hoard a lot. Now, together with Xue Lang, it is just to collect the data so that Xue Lang, the commander in chief of disaster relief, has a good idea and can make deployments.

Xue Lang lingered in Yangzhou for three days in a row. After discussing with Li Xiyu, he set off and started directly from Yangzhou to inspect the water conservancy facilities and projects throughout the territory.

Hurrying and hurrying, I walked for more than two months, and finally inspected most of Jiangnan Road and part of Huainan Road's water conservancy.Drawing on the experience of later generations, every project has a stele engraved on it, standing on the site of the project, who is responsible, who is in charge, etc., are all engraved on the stele.

In the letter to the imperial court, Xue Lang wrote that those who are famous on the stele will naturally be famous through the ages and leave a name in history; Do not make omissions.Water conservancy project facilities are of great importance. They are related to people's lives and safety.Encourage them with rewards and warn them with punishments to strengthen the sense of responsibility.

As soon as this policy came out, it was greatly appreciated by the princes of the court and the sage Xiao Li, especially the enthusiastic support of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.These days, those who are in charge of construction projects are mostly family-passed craftsmanship and skills, which have been passed down from generation to generation.

It will be of great benefit to the Yu family if they can leave a reputation on the big projects of the imperial court.In the long run, there must be artisans responsible for the construction in all dynasties. As long as the craftsmanship continues to be passed on, the famous artisans will not miss their day even if they change to a new dynasty.

Therefore, with the support of the princes of the imperial court and Saint Li, Xue Lang's strategy was not limited to water conservancy facilities, but even in the construction of palaces, he followed the rules.

Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, no matter what kind of projects, ranging from the construction of embankments and river defenses to the construction of palaces and pagodas, there are inscriptions standing beside the buildings. Modern research on the history of ancient architecture has provided a large number of historical evidence.Xue Lang, the initiator, also left a strong mark in history.Of course, these are all things to say later, Xue Lang doesn't know yet, but now, he is working hard on the road of flood control and disaster relief.

The drought in Guanzhong did not cause a catastrophe because the court responded properly.Pei Yunzhao was rehabilitated and transferred to the governor of Hongzhou, in charge of the promotion of Champa rice near Hongzhou and the southward migration of the population.

As for Xue Lang who stayed in Suzhou, when the scorching summer was about to pass, there was a continuous heavy rain, autumn was coming, and floods were coming, when everyone thought that this year's flood peak had passed!
The continuous heavy rain seemed to be endless. It has been falling for several days, not to mention the outskirts of the city, even in the low-lying areas of Suzhou City, several old houses have collapsed.

Li Xiyu frowned with thick brows.

Xue Lang asked: "How is the harvest of autumn grain? Is the storage place safe?"

Li Xiyu said in a deep voice: "The granary is safe and sound, but the harvest is different."

Xue Lang asked clearly: "Is it because of the different kinds of rice?"

"Exactly. There is more rain this year than in previous years. The high-lying places are fine. The low-lying paddy fields, Suzhou and Xuzhou, have been submerged a lot. In the rest of the states, the harvest of Champa rice has little impact. Continue Those who sow old rice seeds will lose at least [-]% of their output."

Xue Lang frowned: "That is to say, this year's grain production has decreased compared to previous years?"

Li Xiyu said in a deep voice, "Exactly!"
