Chapter 92 Safe and sound

"It's a joke, the water in the other cities has reached a foot high! You still said that Yunmeng City is fine!!!"

When Jiang Anxiao heard this, his whole body was shaking with anger.

Listen to what these ministers are saying!

The surrounding city was filled with water to an unknown extent, but when it got there, they actually said it might be okay?

Can this be okay?

Upon hearing this, the ministers looked at each other and fell silent.

To be honest, they really didn't want to allocate funds until Yunmeng City came to ask for disaster relief.

After all, haven’t we heard the news yet? When we have the news and confirm that it is really the case, wouldn’t it be better to carry out disaster relief?

Emperor Jiang was angry, and the ministers did not dare to speak anymore.

Jiang Anxiao snorted coldly. Seeing this scene, he stopped talking and rolled his sleeves to stand up and leave.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked in through the door and said, "Report, Jiangnan Governor Lin Gu wants to see you!"

"Lin Gu?"

Upon hearing the name, all the ministers were stunned for a moment and then started to commotion. Even Jiang Anxiao, who had already stood up, was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly changed.

Lin Gu is returning to the court at this moment. Could it be that Yunmeng City has reached an extremely dangerous situation?

Otherwise, how could the other party, as a governor, come back so easily?

At this moment, not only Emperor Jiang was thinking this, but also the ministers below were panicking.

"Governor Lin is coming back now. Isn't it because the situation in Yunmeng City is already extremely bad? So he was afraid that we would not be able to provide disaster relief in time, so he came back in person to urge it?"

"It's possible. Otherwise, as a governor, I would personally control the floods. How would I be able to leave now that there is a flood?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other solemnly.

Just now, I was talking to Emperor Jiang about whether the disaster relief could be postponed for some time. If it was confirmed that there was a flood now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid a harsh punishment.

Jiang Anxiao also heard the discussions of the ministers, and his face became more and more gloomy at this moment.

After giving these ministers a fierce look, he waved his hand and said, "Quick, please come in, Lin Aiqing!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, the guard quickly turned around and went out. A moment later, Lin Gu walked in. Although his face looked a bit tired, he still couldn't hide the red light in his expression.

Emperor Jiang was so impatient that he didn't bother to take a closer look, and quickly asked, "Lin Aiqing, Yunmeng City is suffering from floods? How are the people in the city now? How much has been lost? Have any people died?"

"Back to the Emperor, it has been raining heavily in Yunmeng City for more than ten days, but the surrounding areas of Yunmeng City are intact and there is no flooding."

Lin Gu felt happy in his heart. Although he was tired now, he still replied loudly.

Emperor Jiang was startled when he heard this. He thought about it carefully and found it incredible. Did he hear it correctly?

"Ai Qing said that Yunmeng City was not flooded? Did I hear that correctly?"

"How could the Emperor hear this wrong because he has such a sharp ear? There is indeed no flood in Yunmeng City. Everything is fine. The previous methods to control the flood have worked!"

Lin Gu couldn't hide his joy and said loudly.

After the words fell, the ministers who were still whispering on the side suddenly became quiet and looked at Lin Gu with extremely incredible eyes.

"Nonsense! There have been heavy rains in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten days in a row. The water in Anyou City near Yunmeng City has risen to a height of ten feet. The water in Yunjiang River in Yunmeng City is already in summer. The amount of water increases. How can you control it?

Such beautiful clouds and river water!"

"Governor Lin, do you know how serious a crime it is to report falsely! Once the people of Yunmeng City delay the treatment time, I am afraid that you, Lin Gu, will lose your head!"

All the ministers stared at Lin Gu, without any trust at all.

How many people have been sent to Yunjiang to govern? Where has the governance been successful?

How long had Lin Gu been gone? Could the dams built be able to block such a large amount of water?

What's more, it has been raining for so long this year, and no dam can stop it!

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Emperor Jiang's eyes. Judging from the information, it was indeed impossible to build such a high and strong dam in such a short time.

Could it be that Lin Gu was really lying?

Seeing everyone's disbelief, Lin Gu looked at these colleagues with a flash of contempt in his eyes.

This was real contempt. Although he didn't quite understand what Lu Chensheng said before, but after understanding a little bit, he looked at these people.

Lin Gu did feel that these colleagues were all country bumpkins.

"Your Majesty, I have been an official in the imperial court for decades. Can't I still trust my words now?"

Lin Gu ignored his colleagues and just asked Emperor Jiang respectfully.

When Emperor Jiang heard this, he was suddenly startled.

Yes, since Lin Gu had been an official in the court for decades, he knew his character and talents. Now, it is highly unlikely that he would come all the way back just to get revenge!

Nowadays, there are too few capable ministers in the court, so Lin Gu is one of the few people he can trust.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiang quickly helped him with his empty hands, "Aiqing is joking, how can I not trust you? It's just that the water in Yunjiang River is different from the past, but I don't know how Aiqing manages it, and how can this flood be quelled in a short period of time?"

"

Knowing in his heart that Lin Gu was not deceiving, Jiang Huang became more and more curious.

In the past few months, how did the other party manage to calm down the flood in Yunjiang River?

Such a heavy rainstorm has gone without incident, so the flood problem in the Yunjiang River can be considered completely eliminated.

After hearing this, Lin Gu took out the drawings he brought back with him and held them above his head with both hands.

"This is the Yunjiang flood control blueprint. Please take a look at it, your Majesty."

The personal eunuch looked at Jiang Huang's face, walked to Lin Gu, took it, checked it and sent it to Jiang Huang.

"Drawings? There seems to be some tricks."

Jiang Huang laid out the drawing and then looked at it carefully.

I thought this drawing was simple, but after taking a closer look, I felt dizzy again.

This is because I know every word on the paper, but after putting them together, I find that I don’t understand the meaning.

This feeling made Jiang Huang a little embarrassed.

Asking Lin Gu like this always felt a little embarrassing.

Lin Gu was very considerate and began to answer questions before Jiang Huang asked.

“From the very beginning, the flooding in the Yunjiang River could not be solved by blocking the dam. No matter how high or thick the dam was, it would not be able to withstand the impact of floods day after day, let alone in summer.

With such a huge amount of rain pouring down, the burden on the dikes is even more increased.

In the front section of the Yunjiang River, there is an extremely straight river. Such a river adds a lot of momentum to the water flow. It is like cavalry constantly charging forward in an open area, and the impact will continue to increase.

With such a combination, no matter how strong the dam is, it will be breached one day, and then the downstream Yunmeng City will face a terrible flood."
