Chapter 162 I Want to Relieve the Disaster and Control the Water
"Why are you so anxious to see me?" Ji Fushou looked at Chu Lingjun in front of him and asked gently.

Chu Lingjun's face was full of solemnity, "Today's court meeting, a major event happened in the court. Yong'an Mansion, Jiangxia Mansion, and Mianyang Mansion encountered torrential floods once in 20 years. The torrential rain continued for six or seven days, causing The river was high, the embankment was breached, and the flood flooded the land of the three prefectures wantonly, destroying the fertile land and even killing many people. The prefects of the three prefectures did not dare to hide it, and they all played together to ask the court for disaster relief."

How familiar this scene is, three years ago Ru Yin Mansion was flooded, and the flood hit Ru Yin Mansion exactly the same.

Ji Fushou saw the impatience in his eyes, and asked calmly: "You came to me to talk about this?"

Chu Lingjun took a deep breath and stared straight into Ji Fushou's eyes, "I have something to do, I wonder if you can help me."

Ji Fushou picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said flatly, "Tell me what it is first."

"The imperial court will definitely provide disaster relief this time." Chu Lingjun's tone was very firm.

You must know that the three prefectures of Yong'an, Jiangxia, and Mianyang are all in the land of Huguang. Huguang has always been a land of fish and rice. The rice that is harvested twice a year provides a lot of food for the imperial court. Now it is September, which happens to be the second rice harvest. As a result, the harvest was ruined by floods, not to mention that the court could not collect taxes. How did the people of the three prefectures survive the floods before them, and how would they survive the first harvest in the coming year?
If the people of the three prefectures cannot overcome this hurdle and cannot survive, it will cause a civil uprising.

For the sake of stability, and for the sake of not chilling the hearts of the common people in the world, the imperial court must provide disaster relief.

"Is there any way for you to let me go to Sanfu to follow the disaster relief, and I will repair the gap in the embankment after the disaster?" Chu Lingjun looked at Ji Fushou expectantly.

Ji Fushou's eyes flickered, and he noticed an important point, "Do you know how to control water?"

The nanny brother of a prefect young master, who knows how to control water?

Ji Fushou suddenly smiled in his heart, especially when he saw Chu Lingjun's face froze slightly, it was even more interesting.

Chu Lingjun quickly explained calmly, "You also know that I am the brother-in-law of Young Master Lin Zhifu. Lin Zhifu can control the water. As the son of Lin Zhifu, the young master learned water control from Lin Zhifu since he was a child. I followed the young master. It also affected a lot.”

Ji Fushou nodded slightly when he heard the words, as if he believed his explanation on the surface, and didn't doubt much, and continued to ask: "You seem to be very concerned about the flood."

Chu Lingjun's face straightened, and he spoke forcefully, "Prefect Lin has loved the people like a son all his life. Back then, the river in Ruyin Mansion lacked embankments, and the people suffered heavy casualties. Prefect Lin felt very guilty. Now that Prefect Lin is gone, the land of the three prefectures has returned. There has been a flood, and for the safety of the people, I have to go along with the rescue no matter what.”

It doesn't matter whether it is said that he is trying to make up for the regrets that Zhifu Lin had before his death, or that he is compassionate, anyway, he will never see the same tragedy as Ru Yinfu happen again.

That would make him fall into that hopeless mood again, powerless, and could only watch the tragedy happen.

It's fine if he doesn't have the ability, he has the ability, if he is really indifferent, he is afraid that prefect Lin will scold him in his dream.

He didn't want to disappoint Zhifu Lin, and he didn't want his conscience to be disturbed.

Looking at his frank expression, Ji Fushou sighed in his heart, there are always some people who truly serve the people in this world.

She also straightened her expression, and asked him very seriously, "You said you can control the water. Since you know the disaster situation in the three prefectures, are you sure that you can control the water successfully?"

Everyone will say big words, it is good to have a heart for the people, but you also need to have the same ability, otherwise going to the land of the three prefectures at this time will be a disservice.

Ji Fushou didn't want to see Chu Lingjun doing bad things with good intentions, and in the end he would be punished.

Chu Lingjun heard what she meant, and was excited in his heart. He also replied solemnly, "I'm sure! Don't worry, I won't make fun of the people of the three prefectures."

Ji Fushou is very familiar with this look, it is a kind of confidence in himself.

After pondering for a while, she finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you, wait for news in a few days."

Chu Lingjun wanted to ask her how to do things, but after seeing her expression, she bowed silently in the end, thanked her for her help, and left in a hurry.

After he left, Ji Fushou ordered Su, "Let Jing Yeli come and see me."

When the night was dark, Ji Fushou sat on the stone bench in the yard, the moonlight fell, leaving mottled shadows on her face.

A figure silently appeared in front of Ji Fushou, bowed his hands and bowed, "I have seen the Lord."

Ji Fushou first asked him about his recent situation, "How are you doing with the Third Prince?"

Jing replied respectfully, "The Third Prince has a lot of trust in his subordinates now, and he values ​​his subordinates very much."

Ji Fushou asked Jing Yirong to go to the third prince Li Chong's side, to be his staff, and to advise him wholeheartedly.For more than a year, Li Chong has never made any mistakes in his actions, and he has successfully completed several errands ordered by Emperor Qi Cheng, which caused Emperor Qi Cheng to praise him unceasingly. Added a burden.

Ji Fushou was very satisfied, and said again: "Do you know about the floods in Yong'an, Jiangxia, and Mianyang?"

Jing nodded, "I know. The third prince came back in the afternoon and told his subordinates about it."

Ji Fushou nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "You will advise the third prince tomorrow, and you must let him take over the disaster relief. At the same time, you have to recommend someone to him. This person is called Chu Lingjun. An expert in water control, you ask the third prince to recommend him to follow along to relieve disasters and control water."

Jing was a little embarrassed, "My lord, it is quite difficult for the third prince to take over the disaster relief. The third prince, who saw the profit, the emperor was furious about the flood in Ruyin Mansion three years ago, and all the officials of the three families were executed. This disaster is worse than the one in Ruyin Mansion, the third prince will not touch this matter to protect himself."

If this kind of thing is done well, it is easy to say, but if it is done poorly, the reputation of being unfavorable will hang on Li Chong's head. It is too easy to affect Emperor Qi Cheng's perception of him, and it will also make courtiers have a bad impression of him. Now the treasury Empty, disaster relief is difficult, how can Li Chong accept such an errand?

Of course Ji Fushou understood that when this happened, most people would avoid it, for fear that the disaster relief would fall on her, but she still had a plan in mind.

"Come here, I'll explain it to you in detail, and you can persuade the third prince like this when you go back tomorrow."

Ji Fushou whispered a long word in Jing's ear, and finally asked, "Do you remember?"

Jing nodded, "My subordinates have remembered."

Ji Fushou stood up and waved his hand at him, "Go back, be careful not to show your traces."

"Yes, this subordinate will leave." Jing bowed before disappearing in front of Ji Fushou.
