Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

When he saw Mrs. Cheng, he bowed as a junior. He had been informed by Wen Tuo when he came, so he didn't show any surprise when he saw her.

"Master Marquis has something important to do when he comes back at this time. You guys talk while I go for a walk in the yard." Mrs. Cheng said as she walked out.

In fact, the Hou Mansion has already prepared ice cubes, but strangely, the trees and flowers in the mansion are growing particularly well this year. Even in the mansion, there is no scorching heat outside. Instead, there is a cool breath everywhere, which makes People feel very comfortable.

The old gardener had been keeping an eye on Xiaobai, the snow wolf, fearing that it would come again to cause trouble to the flowers and trees in the garden on a whim. But Xiaobai's troubles only caused trouble, and strangely, the flowers and trees in the garden grew better than before.

"Yan Zhao, what happened?"

"Is there any news from Tongzhou Prefecture?" Yan Zhao's eyes flashed.

Yu Cheng frowned. "Inspector Li has brought someone there and he hasn't come back yet."

"Someone reported today that there is an epidemic in the south." The thing he was most worried about happened, and Emperor Changde became very angry in the palace. "The third prince blocked the news and sent people to block the main road leading to the capital. No one was allowed in or out. But not everyone there was of the same mind as him. After several days of blocking, someone still sent the news. Your Majesty Let me set off tomorrow to where the epidemic occurred."

That's why he came back early, firstly to pack his luggage, and secondly to tell Sister Cheng to make some preparations.Emperor Changde asked Lu Yanzhao to go without intending to leave him there completely. He still hoped that Lu Yanzhao would come back alive.

"Epidemic?" Yu Cheng frowned and said, "What about the imperial doctors in the past? Didn't they prepare for it a long time ago? As long as it is discovered in time, the medicinal materials transported by the Shang family should be enough."

Lu Yanzhao sneered: "The third prince is afraid of death, so he keeps the imperial doctor with him. When refugees appear outside the city, all the city gates are blocked. Not only do the refugees not receive comfort, but they also cannot get treatment, and he even broke the Liujiang dyke. The news has also been blocked, now not only floods, but also epidemics have spread, and the chaos in Jiangnan is not something that the third prince can suppress."

Yu Cheng also didn't expect that the third prince could be so useless. "Then I'll go and prepare some more medicine for you. Your Majesty should send a few more royal doctors to go with you this time, right? Do you need me to go with you?"

Lu Yanzhao stepped forward and hugged her gently, nuzzled the top of her hair, his breath slowed down, and he said, "No, just stay in Beijing, Sister Cheng. I will take care of everything and come back soon. Your Majesty has sent many medical officers to follow you, but I still need to go to the military camp to mobilize people and come back in the evening."

"Okay." Yu Cheng also reached out and hugged him back. Thinking that this person would be gone for a while, he felt a little reluctant. He got up early every day to send him to court, and waited for him to have dinner with him in the evening. It seemed like it would be fast. After adapting to this kind of lifestyle, I am not used to sudden changes.

Lu Yanzhao let go of his hand, held Sister Cheng's face, kissed her between the eyebrows, turned around and strode away.

Mrs. Cheng turned back when she saw this. She had no intention of finding out the inside story, but Yu Cheng didn't hide it either.Mrs. Cheng was shocked when she heard that. The purpose of her coming was to inquire about the situation in the south. She didn't expect that something would happen today as soon as she mentioned it yesterday.

"County Lord, I originally wanted to inquire about the situation in the south with you, but I didn't expect the matter to be so serious. I'm afraid the capital will be panicked for a while. I have to go back quickly. County Lord must have a lot of things to prepare for today. Don't worry, Marquis Dingguo will be fine, he will be fine." Mrs. Cheng finally comforted her.

At this time, whoever is assigned this job is taking a lot of risks, but the emperor's order cannot be violated.

It might be a risk to others, but Yu Cheng was not worried that Lu Yanzhao would catch the disease, so he smiled and said, "Ms. Cheng forgot that I know how to heal. I'll prepare some pills for him and bring them to your house later." Go, so you can defend yourself if anything happens."

Mrs. Cheng was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll thank the county master first, but there's no need to be in a hurry. I'll take care of the Marquis first."

"it is good."

After sending Mrs. Cheng away, Yu Cheng dove into the pharmacy and soon came out with a list, asking people to prepare the herbs on the list. If they couldn't buy them, they could also collect some seeds and bring them back.The servants didn't know what they were doing after buying the seeds, but since the county lord told them, they just did it.

Palace

Emperor Changde was furious. The disaster that could have been contained in time was still managed like this by Lao San after multiple preparations.

However, after the news spread in the palace, Empress Zhang was frightened and frightened. She hurriedly ran to Emperor Changde to plead for mercy, hoping that he would take the third prince back.

Empress Zhang loves the eighth prince the most, and she is so frightened to hold him in her hand, but the one she relies on the most is the third prince. She knows that the younger son will have to rely on the older son to take care of him in the future, so if something happens to the third prince, both mother and son will There will be no hope.

The Liujiang River is a river in the south of the Yangtze River that runs through several state capitals. It has always been the focus of water control by the imperial court, and the money used on the Liujiang River every year was lost to the sea.

This year, the Qintian Supervisor had already measured the weather in the south of the Yangtze River. There was plenty of rain but not enough to cause excessive flooding. Originally, Emperor Changde thought about the money he had allocated this spring and thought he could get through this year without any danger.

Therefore, when the news of the floods in Jiangnan came, he thought that the disaster would not be too serious. Unexpectedly, he was relieved too early.This disaster is both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster.

The silver that was moved down the river this spring disappeared without even making a splash in the water.When there was plenty of rain in the summer, some officials worried that something would happen if the river embankments could not bear it, but they were ridiculed for being unreasonable and no one took the official's words to heart.

When the river overflowed and local areas were flooded, the third prince received the emperor's order to come to rescue the affected people. He focused on comforting the wealthy families in the city and the local squires. He often summoned scholars from Jiangnan to inquire about the current situation. The prince's reputation in the south of the Yangtze River rose, and many of the notes sent to the court by officials praised the third prince.

I thought this summer's floods would be over, but suddenly there was another heavy rain. The banks on the river section finally couldn't withstand the impact of the upstream water flow and collapsed, and both sides of the river suddenly became a swampy country.The third prince was immersed in sleep after a night of singing with the literati about the grand scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. When he was woken up by the people waiting around him, his first reaction was to block the news.

Part of the money spent on river management originally fell into his pocket, because the Liujiang embankment had been safe and sound for the past few years, so some people took chances. In order to maintain the reputation he had created, the third prince could not act like The fourth prince blatantly reached out to merchants to get money, so he had to find another way to get money when he was short of money.

River management is where the most money comes from every year and it's easy to make a fuss about it. How can he ensure that all the money is used for river defense without his intervention?
