Chapter 126 Please the emperor cooperate with me

Su Hao was puzzled, "What is the princess talking about...what's thing?"

"You used inner alchemy to treat me."

Su was stunned, his expression was a little stiff.

"I also know how much risk Mr. Su needs to take during this period, and I also know that I actually owe Mr. Su a life."

Su Hao was embarrassed, "The princess doesn't need to say that. Now that the matter has been so long, I have forgotten it."

"But I can't forget."

Su Hao was a little hard to say. Knowing that the princess was not here, she asked, "What exactly do the princess want to say?"

The princess no longer puts a guise on her face and said directly: "I ask Mr. Su to give up the idea of ​​controlling water."

"Impossible." As soon as Su Hao said that, he denied it.

She knew what the princess was thinking, but she felt that the risk was too great, so she gave up and didn't take the risk, but Su Hao was sure that it was impossible for her to give up.

The princess raised her voice and asked, "Why? Why can't we give up? Does Mr. Su really want to die?"

"Why are you sure I'm going to die?" Su Hao asked back.

"It's not like losing one's life!"

"Will I betray the princess to treat her illness? Isn't it a life?"

"This..." the princess paused and said, "If I knew that you were treating me with this method, then I would rather die."

Su Hao said: "Don't you not know?"

“…”

"The princess just pretends not to know about this matter. Su Hao has made up her mind and no one can stop me. And if I go, it's not a death."

"Mr. Su..." The princess wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Su Hao's hand.

Su Hao said: "Don't the princess think that if I delay for a while, the people of Jiangnan will stay in danger for a while? Now no one in the court can solve the problem effectively in time. If I do nothing, wouldn't I feel guilty?"

The princess forced a smile, "Mr. Su is so concerned about the world..."

Unexpectedly, Su Hao shook his head lightly and said, "The princess doesn't need to use such great words to describe me. I do these things just for the sake of my own conscience."

"Conscience?"

"Yes, conscience," Su Hao nodded and said seriously: "Even if I am not a demon today, but a woman with no power to tie a chicken, I will still care about how much damage the floods in the south will bring to the people. Isn't the princess worried?"

"Worry of course."

“That’s it.”

"But even if I worry, I won't be as risky as you!"

Su smiled and said, "It's the same for being a person who can do it within his ability. The princess doesn't do it because the princess doesn't have this ability. Since I can, why should I watch coldly?"

She said again: "The princess is not unable to do anything. You have lived in the deep palace for a long time and may not have seen the real sufferings of the people. If you meet, the princess will definitely understand what she should do."

After saying this, Su Hao turned around and looked at the emperor standing not far away, nodded slightly, the emperor understood it, and walked over and said, "Liu'er, it's time for us to set off. The journey is long, so it's not time to delay it for too long."

Su Hao continued, "The princess and I just finished talking, so let's go."

The princess didn't stop her anymore. Looking at the long travel team, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The originally planned half-month itinerary was compressed to eight days because the emperor repeatedly speeded up. On this day when Su Hao arrived, the last embankment on the riverside was destroyed. Soldiers and officials were rescued, and many people also joined the ranks, but the effect was not obvious.

Since the emperor saw it, his brows frowned very tightly. Su Hao observed it and advised: "I see that the disaster is not serious yet. Let's go and take a break first and think about the plan."

The emperor nodded and ordered the people below to send soldiers to rescue the disaster.

I didn't see any creatures along the way. On the day of the flood, the expedited memorandum was sent. Fortunately, the emergency measures here were taken appropriately and promptly, so the stop loss is still not serious.

But this cannot be stalemate like this, and experienced people can see that a larger flood is still coming.

Local officials specially prepared a house for the emperor. Su Hao could move in with his bag and pack his luggage. Before he could rest, he was called by the emperor.

The emperor asked: "What were your plans at the beginning? How do you need me to cooperate with you?"

Su Hao thought for a while and said, "Is there a map?"

"Yes." The emperor took out a parchment roll from the table and spread it out to the map.

Su Hao looked at it for a long time and saw the terrain very clearly. The floods here are probably not accidental, but caused by improper hydrophobic. This problem has been caused in previous years, but it is not too serious. This year it broke out together, and Su Hao was at this time.

She pointed to a sea estuary and said, "Are there two mountains here?"

The estuary was extremely narrow, and the sides were marked with land marks. Su Hao didn't know how thick the land base was here, so he asked.

The emperor naturally didn't know, but there were other officials in the room at this time. Su Hao asked, and someone stepped forward, looked at the place Su Hao pointed at, and said, "It's not a mountain, it's just a short beach."

Su Hao asked, "Do you have a map from ten years ago or earlier?"

The official was really strange. It was already very strange since the emperor said he would wait for Su Hao to discuss with him. He just didn't dare to ask too much. Su Hao was too beautiful and didn't look like he was here to do business, but to...

Besides, she, a woman, probably won't be able to do anything.

The rumors in the capital have not yet reached this point, and the officials did not know Su Hao's identity, so they hesitated a little at this moment.

"Yes, yes, but I don't know why the lady wants this map?" the official asked.

The emperor frowned and said, "I told you to take it and take it, don't talk too much."

Su Hao found it funny and shook his head slightly and refused to speak.

The official dared not say anything again and asked the servants to get it. Su Hao added, "The earlier the better."

After a while, someone brought a stack of maps and opened them in sequence in chronological order. The table could not be spread out and went up to the ground. Even the emperor felt strange when he looked at it.

After spreading out the last pair, Su Hao's eyes lit up and he whispered, "Finished".

The emperor leaned forward and asked, "What have you found?"

Su Hao simply put the last pair in front of the emperor and waved to the officials, "You come and see."

The officials looked at each other, but finally the emperor stared at each other and stopped being reserved. They looked at each other at a distance from Su Hao.

Su Hao put the two maps together to compare them, pointed to the sea entrance and said, "Look at this place, this map now has it, there is a low beach on both sides of the place, and the sea entrance is quite narrow. And here..."

She pointed to another one and said, "This map was from fifty years ago. There were not two low beaches on the left and right here fifty years ago, and the entrance to the sea is very spacious."

After she said that, someone asked, "But what does this mean?"

Su Hao said: "This shows that these two short beaches have only been formed in recent decades. They are probably soil washed by the upper stream. They flow into here with the water flowing eastward, but some of the soil did not flow into the sea and were still stranded here. Over time, a large amount of soil was piled up to form these two short beaches."

Everyone suddenly realized that the emperor looked at Su Hao and thought to himself that this man was not only kind-hearted, but also extremely smart.

The emperor thought for a while and said, "So you are planning to ask someone to dig out these two short beaches?"

Su smiled and nodded, "It is precisely this idea that the low beach that has only been formed in recent decades is enough to show that its firmness is not worth mentioning. It is not very difficult to dig it out, but the project volume is a bit large and it takes more time. But there is no hurry now, so it is okay for us to take it slowly."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone asked, "What's the rush? Now the flood is getting worse day by day, and we can't drag it down any longer!"

Su Hao blinked and asked back, "Did I say that this is for the current flood?"

The questioning minister was a little confused and couldn't speak, and the emperor didn't quite understand Su Hao's meaning.

Su Hao said: "What I said is to completely solve the flood in the future, not to target this time. Just imagine, even if we solve the flood problem this time and make it happen again in the future, if it is more serious, will we repeat the same mistake and only know how to rescue it? How come you so many people don't know how to prevent problems before they happen?"

The officials were choked and scolded by the little girl who looked only twenty years old... The emperor wanted to laugh a little, but he held it back and said, "You keep talking."

"After digging out the low beach, the area of ​​the estuary becomes larger, which means that the speed of water flowing into the sea is much more impressive than before. You also know why the flood occurs. It is very necessary for me to do this."

It is better to be diluted than blocking, but no one refuted it now. Su Hao continued: "In addition, I also suggest that the Ministry of Works build several more reservoirs nearby after field inspections to prevent floods from coming again. When the water flows too much, it will directly destroy the embankment. The reservoir can temporarily accumulate water, and it can also achieve a certain buffering effect."

Another official said: "We have a reservoir here."

Su Hao turned his head and looked at the man and said, "Yes, yes, but it seems useless right now, right?"

The man looked a little embarrassed.

Su Hao said: "It is better to ask the Ministry of Works to see if something is wrong, it is because the quantity is not enough, the area is not large enough, or the location is unreasonable. If there is any problem, improve it in time, don't wait until the incident happens to realize regret."

The man felt the emperor's gaze and did not dare to refuse, so he quickly said yes.

Su Hao said so much, and he was a little dry-mouthed. He poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then looked at the emperor and said, "Master, let's talk about the current flood now."

She said that the emperor had to have only two of them present. The emperor knew it and drove everyone out, and asked the guards to guard it, making sure that no one was eavesdropping around. Su Hao said, "I want to know when the next flood will come."

The emperor said: "Three days later, it will probably be the worst this year."

Su Hao nodded and thought to himself that it was just right, and it was solved in one go.

The emperor asked: "What are your plans?"

"I want the emperor to cooperate with me."
