Yinfeng's worries are not unreasonable. Even before he studied geography systematically, he knew that the terrain in the south is complicated, with a lot of water flow, and heavy rain can easily cause floods.

In his previous life, he handled the most disaster relief, which was the flood in the south.

It is precisely because I know how extensive this kind of disaster is involved that I am worried after seeing the torrential rain in the capital for more than half a month.But at the same time, Yinfeng also knew that whether the rain would bring disasters or not, and whether the court should take precautions before they happened, was not something he could decide alone.

Knowing the problem but not being able to solve it in time, this contradiction tormented Yinreng for several days.

Strangely, after he was worried for a few days, the torrential rain that made the whole capital restless suddenly stopped.

Of course, the imperial court breathed a sigh of relief from top to bottom, and some people secretly rejoiced that the rain only started after the general election. If it was before the general election, their daughter's future might have to be put on hold again this year.

In short, when the weather cleared and the rain stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Those who should prepare their daughters for marriage, and those who should marry their daughters-in-law discussed when to marry a daughter-in-law and what to do.Most people think so.

Most of these people naturally did not include Yinfeng.According to the system's measurement, when the rain was the heaviest a few days ago, the heart rate of this Highness rose to 130 at the highest.

Even if the rain stopped, Yinfeng didn't believe it. If the rain didn't affect the capital, it wouldn't affect the south.But helpless, even though he arranged the newspaper a few years ago, due to the lack of convenient transportation, the information is not fast enough, and the flow is not fast enough these days, so the court has not yet received a copy of the disaster report from the south.

In fact, it wasn't just Yinfeng, Kangxi couldn't help but start to worry after seeing the rain that lasted for half a month.

There can be no accidents in the south of the Yangtze River. If there is an accident, the entire treasury's harvest this year will be wasted.

However, he has sat on the throne for many years, and his energy-raising skills are better than Yinreng's. It's not at 01:30. No matter how worried he is, his face never shows it.

Kangxi thought, it was raining, and it was impossible to prevent disasters before they happened, but it was still too late to plan for disaster relief.

So after the heavy rain in the capital stopped, he would always bury himself in his study and write disaster relief plans.As the king of a country, he needs to ensure that once the provinces report disasters, the court can immediately come up with an appropriate and feasible supply method.

This method includes, but is not limited to, the resettlement of the people in the disaster-stricken areas, post-disaster reconstruction, other subsidies from the court, and so on.

It has to be said that the father and son really have a good understanding, and they completely want to go together.Kangxi was writing about disaster relief arrangements, and Yinreng was also considering disaster prevention measures in addition to disaster relief measures after he went to court every day.

Yinfeng took the advantage of doing it again, and wrote the book on disaster relief planning faster than Kangxi.He considered the government offices near the two rivers that suffered the most disasters over the years, and weighed the local population and cultivated land reported by the transfer department, and within three days he had a detailed document.

But the preparation plan for disaster prevention was much slower than disaster relief.Although it also involves scheduling, and he has rich experience in these things in his previous life, disaster prevention always tests the overall quality, and everything must be considered, so his writing is naturally cumbersome.

For several days in succession, his wrist was sore from writing, and he barely had a general direction.

When the father and son were preparing their own plans, it was not the magistrates of the southern states who first revealed the disaster to the public, but Yang Yanqiu, a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou who had never been involved in officialdom.

Yang Yanqiu's ability to report disasters is completely wrong.

In his capacity, he was completely unqualified to write a letter to report the disaster, so what was handed to Kangxi was not an official letter, but a secret letter.

Yang Yanqiu's original intention was to explain that due to the flooding of the canal, the transportation was blocked and the order list in the north was stagnant, so the recent distribution of profits to the imperial court may be later.

Since he was selected by the imperial court as a cooperating imperial merchant, although he was nominally cooperating with the imperial court, he was as astute as Yang Yanqiu, and he would never forget to allocate more than half of his private account to honor Kangxi every year.

That's why there was this private communication.

After Kangxi saw the secret letter, he already had a bad guess in his heart.It is so difficult for Yang Yanqiu's cargo ship to go through the canal, and the disaster situation in other prefectures can be seen.After he received the secret letter, he quickly sent people to the south to investigate it carefully.

The person who went to investigate the details was naturally by sea, carrying Yang Yanqiu's sailing boat back.Kangxi waited for a few days, and the investigators sent back extremely bad news.

The heavy rain in the south was earlier than that in the north. The heavy rainfall caused disasters in Anhui, Jiangsu, and Sichuan provinces. Many rivers were affected by the rain and flooded.The rising river has flooded many prefectures and counties near the water.However, because the traffic was blocked and some of the official roads were submerged and damaged, the officials' reports could not be sent back to Beijing in time.

Why was Yang Yanqiu's excerpt sent to the capital first?Because in order to deliver this news, he sent a fleet of ships richly.Of course, don't forget to deliver the goods while sending the news.

On the second day after receiving the detailed news from below, in the early court, Kangxi made the disasters in the three southern provinces clear.

The courtiers also reacted in the same way. After sighing for a while, everyone no longer cared about celebrating the victory of the war, and began to seriously raise funds for disaster relief with their new marriage.The servant of the household department was the fastest to respond, and immediately reported the existing grain in the treasury and the surplus silver.

In fact, it is well known that there is a lot of rain in the south, and minor disasters and disasters are inevitable every year. The imperial court also makes money plans in this regard every year, so the courtiers can respond so quickly.

However, judging from the aggregated information obtained by Kangxi, this year's large-scale disaster is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Yinreng had expected it a long time ago, but now that the prediction has come true, he can't help but feel uncomfortable.Disaster relief is one thing, but the hidden dangers of the river are even more worrying for him.The imperial court invests a lot of manpower and material resources to control the river every year, but every time it rains, the efforts of the previous year will be completely in vain.

The whole country is dragged down by these rivers, exhausted but helpless.It's like manpower against divine power, it makes people powerless just thinking about it.

After the courtiers spoke one after another, Yinfeng handed in the plan he had prepared a long time ago.Kangxi wrote Liang Jiugong to take it, first read what his son wrote, and then compared what he thought, the silent cost-effective was not much worse, and he felt extremely relieved for a while.The crown prince Wen Neng can set the country, and Wu Neng is the best (this is a bit watery), and he is indeed a qualified heir.

As for Yinreng himself, although he got Khan Ama's admiring eyes, he didn't feel much better in his heart.When the courtiers were spinning like tops and busy with disaster relief, he was also busy dispatching food and money for disaster relief every day.

Although it will not be too busy to burn your head, it will take a lot of effort.

In a few days, Yinfeng was unable to hold on mentally, and no one could tell about the depression in his heart, so he was unavoidably depressed for a while.

This concern can only be shared with the system.

The system has been with him for a long time, and when he persuades him, he can spit out a long speech: "I know that your highness blames himself for failing to warn in advance, which led to today's situation. But your highness also needs to know that even if you said something a month ago I am afraid that your father will not believe that the land of Sichuan and Shu will suffer disaster today."

Yinreng naturally knew that what it said was right, and would not believe it even if Khan Ama said it.So he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I just feel that the common people have worked hard to open up wasteland for several years, and finally have a good farm to feed themselves. I don't know how much they have been damaged by this heavy rain."

His voice was extremely low: "I don't know when I can redeem it again."

Land reclamation was extremely manpower-intensive. Years of hard work turned into fetching water from bamboo baskets. Yinfeng, who had also planted wheat, thought of those submerged fertile fields and felt a sympathy with the people.

The system is not good to make more comments on this matter, so it just comforted: "I understand the depression in your highness's heart, but even after a hundred years, human beings will still worry about these rivers. Fighting nature with manpower has been extremely difficult since ancient times. thing."

When Yinreng heard it talking about this, he couldn't help being curious, "How did later generations deal with floods and manage rivers?"

In his impression, Khan Ama has really put in a lot of effort to manage the southern waters.Not only does the Ministry of Households allocate funds to repair the embankments and dams along the river every year, but it also appoints a special river governor and subordinate special river workers.

It's a pity that a lot of money is spent every year, but the results are minimal.

Yinfeng also knew that with the current national strength and manpower level of the imperial court, it was absolutely impossible to compare with the later generations, so he was even more curious about whether the later generations had a good way to learn from.

Harnessing the river is troublesome, but if there is no way to manage it, the embankment of a thousand miles will be destroyed by ant nests, and I am afraid that the court will be dragged into a deeper quagmire by floods in the future.

Thinking that Yinfeng is not only a little lucky here, but fortunately those Russians came to provoke them recklessly, and contributed millions of taels of silver by the way, otherwise this year's disaster relief money would have squeezed out the treasury again.

The system pretended to have a deep smile, and then winked at him in his mind, "Your Highness, are you ready to be shocked again?"

"what?"

"Your Highness, please take a look." The system called out the stored program and showed Yinfeng what it was called, "Great Country Project." It explained while showing: "This dam took more than ten years to build. Flood discharge and disaster prevention can also satisfy transportation and power generation at the same time. With this dam, the probability of the Jiangnan area becoming a country in later generations will be greatly reduced."

But Yinreng didn't care to listen to what it had to say, his gaze was focused on something empty.

Where no one else can see, in his sight, the tall building on the wide river can not be called a dam, it should be called another kind of moat.

Under the control of the dam, the turbulent tide surged on the steep cliffs with an invincible momentum.The [-]-ton ship he had never seen crossed the peak with a drop of thousands of feet and was sent to another gentle river.

Yinfeng looked almost dull.He muttered in his mouth: "These things, even if we integrate the power of the entire Qing Dynasty... we will never be able to do it..."

I thought I could learn a good way, but just after seeing half of it, Yinfeng's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.If it is really necessary to build such a project to be regarded as a standard for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, then I am afraid that he will never complete the task of system layout in his life.

The system detected that his mood was changing too quickly, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.It was only shown to him to comfort His Highness, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect now.

The system couldn't help sighing, it had never seen His Highness who had been with him for so many years, so downcast.

In order to prevent Yinrong from getting worse, the system turned off the display screen in time, and said jokingly: "Your Highness, even if you can't do it now, you can take this as your goal."

Yinfeng said weakly: "Compared to building this thing, I would rather go to protect the crown prince and my brothers have to fight to the death."

"... "

This is the so-called, is cleverness mistaken by cleverness?
