After hearing this, Liu Renyuan was shocked.

He thought that at most Li Chengqian would go to the Ministry of Industry to supervise those Ministry of Industry officials to handle affairs, but this is already very rare.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian was actually ready to go outside the city to personally rescue the emergency, how could he not be shocked.

"It's okay, these things are not difficult for this palace."

The words fall...

Li Chengqian didn't wait for Liu Renyuan's response, and took Qin Feng straight to the Ministry of Industry.

Liu Ren was helpless, so he had to return to Ganlu Hall to return to his life.

Ganlu Hall...

hall...

Li Shimin looked at Liu Renyuan who had hurried back, and asked in confusion: "Shi Yuan, didn't I ask you to go to the Ministry of Industry to supervise the flood control? Why are you back again?"

Liu Renyuan hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the last general was going to the Ministry of Industry, but he met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the way, and His Highness asked the last general to come back and tell him to supervise the flood control. Your Majesty is distracted."

"Originally, the general wanted His Highness to be in command of the Ministry of Industry. If a flood broke out, he would go out of the city to rescue, but His Highness insisted on refusing, saying that if an accident happened, he would go out of the city himself."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes were filled with joy, "Chengqian went to the Ministry of Industry to supervise flood control matters? It's rare that this child has a heart."

Liu Ren would like to agree: "His Royal Highness has always taken all the people of the world as his own responsibility, and is concerned about the country and the people. His Royal Highness has such a heart, because His Majesty plays an exemplary role in daily life and sets an example."

Liu Renyuan made Li Shimin angry with a wave of small rainbow farts.

"Hehe..." Li Shimin chuckled in his heart, "That's natural. As the prince of the dynasty, Chengqian has to look up to me for everything. He must be able to think of things that I can think of. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disappointment? My pains."

"Since there is Chengqian to supervise this matter, then I can rest assured."

at the same time.

Li Tai suddenly rushed in from outside the hall.

"Royal Father." As soon as he arrived in the hall, Li Tai looked at Li Shimin with a smile on his face.

Li Shimin looked him up and down, "It's raining so hard, what are you doing here at Ganlu Palace?"

Li Tai responded hastily: "Father, it is because of such a big Yu Erchen that I came here."

"Oh?" Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what's the matter?"

"I came to invite my father to have dinner with me. I saw that you worked hard day and night, so I specially prepared a hot pot for you. Brother Huang said that hot pot is more suitable for rainy days. You don't know..."

Li Tai opened his mouth and started chattering.

Li Shimin's complexion was livid, both of them were sons, how could there be such a big gap.

It's raining heavily, one is thinking about state affairs, and the other is thinking about eating hot pot, the gap is a bit too big.

"enough!"

Li Shimin scolded and looked at Li Tai angrily.

This voice startled Li Tai, he looked at Li Shimin in a daze, "Father, why are you so angry?"

With good intentions, he braved the heavy rain to invite Li Shimin to dinner, and even scolded him.

Liu Renyuan shook his head on the sidelines, there is no harm without comparison.

In fact, Li Tai can be said to be Li Shimin's favorite son.

If it wasn't for Li Chengqian's outstanding performance, his status in Li Shimin's heart would be inferior to that of Li Tai.

"Why are you angry?" Li Shimin looked at him coldly, "You still have the face to ask why I am angry?"

"It's raining outside, whether it's heavy or not."

"Big..." Li Tai stared at Li Shimin with big innocent eyes.

He couldn't imagine how his father would ask such an idiotic question.

Li Shimin stared at him, hating that iron cannot become steel: "Then what if the rain doesn't stop and the river overflows the riverbed, drowning the crops and destroying the villages and towns?"

"This..." Li Tai was dumbfounded when he heard this, "He hesitated and said: "This...here, I haven't thought about it." Haven't thought about it? "

Li Shimin squinted his eyes slightly, burning with anger, "At this moment, your elder brother is facing the strong wind and heavy rain, going to the Ministry of Industry to supervise the flood control and emergency matters, and he is already ready to go out of the city to prevent the flood in person. How much did Tang pay?"

"Look at you again. Hot pot is more suitable for rainy days. Why did I give birth to such a useless thing like you?"

The more Li Shimin talked, the angrier he became, and he stepped forward and gave Li Tai a big mouth.

"How many times have I told you to learn more from your imperial brother, don't be afraid of hard work in everything, but you are lucky, you ran back after two days with your imperial brother, are you so unmotivated?"

Li Tai touched his flushed face, and said timidly: "Didn't the emperor go to Tuyuhun before, and my son..."

"How dare you talk back!"

Li Shimin was about to give Li Tai two a brace when he went up.

Li Tai hastily confessed, with a mournful face, "Father, I made a mistake, and I know I was wrong, so please forgive me."

Liu Ren was willing to step forward to stop him, "Forget it, Your Majesty, the King of Wei also has good intentions, knowing the mistakes can make things better."

"Change, do you think he has a little intention to change it!" Li Shimin growled loudly, "I sent him out of the city to dig the river, and I called Ke'er to dig the river together. I don't know what to do all day long. , doing nothing."

"Ah?" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin in a daze.

He didn't expect that his father, who always loved him very much, would let him dig mud outside the city.

Still braving such a big wind and rain.

"Father, this..."

Li Tai looked at Li Shimin aggrieved.

Li Shimin stared at him closely, gritted his teeth and said, "Why, why did I wrong you?"

Li Tai immediately confessed, "Don't be wronged, don't be wronged, my son will go right away."

Chapter 488

When Li Chengqian rushed to the front of the Ministry of Industry, there were already quite a few officials from the Ministry of Industry in and out of the courtyard.

He was in a hurry and very busy.

Li Chengqian led Qin Feng through the crowd and into the main hall.

Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is leading the servants and Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry to fight at night.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming in, everyone was shocked and hurried forward to salute.

"My minister, see Your Highness the Crown Prince."

They didn't expect that Li Chengqian came to the Ministry of Industry for inspection despite the wind and rain.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and quickly entered the working state.

"Who is this month's rising official?"

"What is the water level rise of the eight natural rivers, Jing, Wei, Ba, Lu, Ju, Jiao, Feng, and Lao, and the four diversion canals of Longshou Canal, Qingming Canal, Yong'an Canal, and Huang Canal?"

"Have all the ships in the Cao Canal and Cao River docked at the docks, and can they be used for emergency water diversion?"

"Whether the people in the villages and towns in the low-lying areas have started to evacuate, whether the emergency refuge area has been built, whether the food, grass and fresh water can be supplied on time, and whether there is an accompanying military doctor."

Li Chengqian's repeated questions made all the officials of the Ministry of Industry in the main hall dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that Li Chengqian knew so much about flood control and rescue work, and he hit the vital point directly.

Everyone looked at Li Chengqian, and they were stunned for three seconds. This prince really has something, and there is nothing he doesn't understand.

"Returning to Your Highness, the official who kept the rise this month is Li Liancheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. As for the water level of the canal and the issue of Caoqu and Cao River, the old minister has already asked people to look at it, and there will be news in a short time."

"As for the villages and towns within the flood zone, they haven't had time to evacuate yet, but various emergency supplies are being raised."

Duan Lun was the first to react and reported to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at the flood control map on the case, and said in a deep voice: "I see that the heavy rain has no intention of stopping. The villages and towns in the flood area should be evacuated as soon as possible. When the eight waters overflow the river bed, it will be troublesome."

"As for emergency supplies, if you don't have enough funds at the moment, go to Qinghuo Trading Company to find Zheng Qian to get them. Qinghuo Trading Company's treasury has sufficient emergency supplies."

"There are also craftsmen. Call all the disciples of Mozong and the people from Luban Pavilion. They have enough materials and manpower to build the camp."

Li Chengqian said this casually, but Duan Lun and the surrounding officials of the Ministry of Industry felt their faces burn.

Slapped in the face!

The materials that the Ministry of Industry did not raise were prepared by Qinghuo Trading Company all the year round. It is self-evident who the materials are for.

This concern for the people is really not just talking about it, shouting a few slogans, and saying that it will serve the people all day long.

This is a matter of realizing the golden knife in size.

He had no idea in his heart, and he talked wildly, and when something happened, he immediately stood out.

"It's Your Highness." Duan Lun responded with cupped hands.

Hastily sent people to evacuate the masses, and prepared emergency shelters and emergency supplies.

During this period, there was already a clear "river defense order".

First: The start and end dates of flood control for each water system are stipulated, and the "early June to the end of August" is designated as the "water rising month", and it is stipulated that officials must take turns "keeping the rising water" during this period.

Second: It is stipulated that the Ministry of Industry should send officials every year to "part-time households, and the Ministry of Industry will enter" to inspect along the river before the flood season, urge the prefectures, prefectures, and counties along the river to implement flood control planning measures, repair and strengthen embankments.

Third: It is stipulated that when the river defense is in an emergency, the prefecture along the river, the capital water supervisor, and the capital patrol officer should jointly discuss emergency rescue matters.

Fourth: For rewards and punishments, officials of Yanhe prefectures, prefectures, and counties must report whether they are meritorious or guilty in flood control, and the state will deal with it according to the situation.

However, national regulations are always good, but official laxity is the biggest problem.

Soon...

A small official from the Ministry of Industry broke in from the door and ran to Duan Lun's side to listen to him.

Duan Lun saw it, didn't you hurt me?The prince came to supervise the government, so you came to whisper to me?

He yelled at the little official, "If you have anything to say, say it clearly! There is nothing shameful about the work of the Ministry of Industry."

Duan Lun said this to the little official, and he also said it to Li Chengqian.

But this is not the fault of the little official, he came in in a hurry and didn't pay attention to Li Chengqian at the side.

The petty official was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Chengqian and found Li Chengqian, panicked immediately, and hurriedly saluted, "See His Royal Highness, the humble official did not see His Highness, I hope His Highness will forgive me."

Li Chengqian didn't blame, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, if there is any situation, report it as soon as possible."

"Just now I went to the Weishui River to look for Li Shilang to get the river channel information of Chang'an Bashui, but..."

The little official hesitated and dared not speak clearly.

(Chang'an Bashui refers to the eight natural rivers of Jing, Wei, Ba, Lu, Cu, Jiao, Feng, and Lao.)

Duan Lun scolded: "But what's the matter? Just tell me what you have. Your Highness is here. Who are you afraid of? Report everything you see and hear."

The little official panicked, and hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord."

"When I went to the Flood Control Supervisor by the Weishui River to look for Li Shilang, I found several officials of the Flood Control Supervisor were drinking. I asked Li Shilang's whereabouts and found out...then I found out that Li Shilang took a concubine the day before yesterday, and it has been... It’s been a few days since I went to the flood control supervisor.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that the temperature in the room suddenly became a little colder.

Duan Lun also has a bitter and bitter look on his face, this fucking damn Li Liancheng, you are so damned willing to take a concubine at this time, and make trouble for me at this time.

"Qin Feng." Li Chengqian called lightly.

"Wei Chen is here."

"Go and find out what Li Liancheng is doing today. If he really left his post because of taking a concubine, then I will arrest him and put him in the sky prison. The crime will be added to the third class."

"By the way, the White Robe Army, the Modao Army and the Shenwei Army were mobilized to the banks of the Weishui River to prepare for emergency rescue."

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Qin Feng responded, put on the rain cape, jumped out of the door, and disappeared into the vast rain.

Li Chengqian didn't get angry, and he didn't blame Duan Lun, which made him even more frightened and uneasy.

As the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, his subordinate Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was supposed to be in power, left his post without permission because of taking a concubine.

But this Li Liancheng has another identity, that is Li Chengqian's distant cousin.

With his political achievements and ability, he was able to sit in the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, which is all because of Li Shimin's care.
