The Ling Yin Ziban, who was inspecting the situation, said after hearing this, "Well, it seems that the refugees near Yingdu have almost been resettled, and the sick refugees have also been treated. The epidemic has not broken out and endangered Yingdu. The three of you handled it very well and it is very timely. At that time, I will ask for merit for you."
"Especially success or failure, the placement strategies you listed are very good." Ling Yinzi looked at Cheng Jia with satisfaction.
Zuo Tu, Zhou Jinghua's father, also praised repeatedly, "Mr. Cheng, you are young and promising!"
"Thank you for your kindness, both of you." Cheng Jia said with a humble look on his face, "It's all about Jiafen. However, although my refugees in the capital can be resettled for a while, they cannot be resettled for a lifetime, and I don't know if the refugees in the counties and counties can be settled quickly."
"Yes, there have been constant natural disasters in three years, and the refugees can only be resettled for a while. Who knows if there will be floods next year?" Ling Yinzi nodded.
Although Cheng Jia and Sun Shuao followed up with the resettlement of refugees in Yingdu, there were no major incidents, but there were many villages along the riverside. Due to the severe disaster, several villages had moved and became refugees, and they came to major towns and prosperous counties. Some refugees even began to cause chaos and rob past business travelers and nobles.
This incident made the first emperor of the dynasty frown his noble brow: the county magistrate below is not effective in doing business, and it is meaningless to continue allocating money to provide disaster relief.
However, in addition to Yingdu, there are several cities such as Jiangxia and Dingcheng, which have always been wealthy. If these cities cause turmoil, the consequences will be worrying.

However, in addition to Yingdu, there are several cities such as Jiangxia and Dingcheng, which have always been wealthy. If these cities cause turmoil, the consequences will be worrying.
"The emperor, I have an idea these days. Now that our Chu State defeated Yong State, and the countries respected it, it would be better to take this opportunity to rest with the people, reduce the taxes of the affected counties and counties, and at the same time control floods in various places. The floods of the Great River and Huai River are like beasts, which harm the thousands of people of our Chu State every year, and even attracted the covetment of Yong State for our Chu State, leading to the three-year battle of Chu Yong. If the river is not governed for one day, even if the Yong State is destroyed, it will definitely attract the Qin State, which is sought after by the tiger, the Ba State and even Jin State and other countries to take advantage of the situation."
Cheng Jia, who was appointed as the defeat of Xinshi, said slowly.
"Although what success or failure is reasonable."
When the Censor Li, who was following with him, held his long beard and shook his head and sighed, "It's not just a day to manage floods, but a few years or even ten years of hard work."
"Yes, if the river is easy to control, our Chu State would not be infringed upon by it every year. The Sikong allocated funds every year to build the dam, but it still could not be stopped. During the three years of Chu Yong's war, the treasury was tight and he had no time to take care of it, which led to constant natural disasters." Gongshu Jin shook his head and said.
"The national treasury is empty. Now it is because of disaster relief, and the left and right branches are rushing. If you want to control the water, you will definitely not be able to take it out." Zhou Mu, the father of Zhou Jinghua, who was responsible for the allocation of money, said with embarrassment.
The ministers and workers who came together nodded and shook their heads at first, and finally sighed: "It's not easy to repair dikes and dams, it's a waste of money..."
Mi Huang took all the expressions of the ministers and workers into his eyes. What Cheng Jia said just now was exactly what Ruo Ziyan meant, but it was obvious that the ministers were not optimistic about it.
The old and deep eyes slid across the face of every minister, making Yin Zipan not make a decision when he heard this.
If we wanted to control the water, we had already experienced the Chuyong War and three years of disasters. Even if some towns were well-hardened, there were still some affected villages and towns that needed disaster relief. Now the treasury of the Chu State is empty. If we really wanted to control the water and build the dam, we would definitely have to collect money from the major families again, and then increase taxes and labor service.
Moreover, even Gong Yin was not optimistic about water control. It was inappropriate to propose it as a lie-defeated person, which was equivalent to extending his hand from his Criminal Office to the Secretariat.
This is a big taboo in the court.
"What is the point of view of Master Yin in this matter?" Ling Yin took the green thumb like a slight, throwing the problem to Lord Gongshu who was in charge of this matter.
"Success, failure, and failure are very true."
Gongshu is a sleek person and thinks something in his heart, but he looks worried and says, "It's just that the matter of dam repair needs to be discussed for a long time, investigate the terrain of the country, and choose suitable mountains, rivers and flood discharge..."
Before Lord Gongshu finished his words, he was intercepted by Cheng Jia. "I understand the worries of Lord Gongshu. It happened that the son of Lord Gongshu had marked all the floods of our Chu State every year based on the mountains, rivers and geometric maps drawn by Lord Gongshu over the years. His grandson was also responsible for the military defense of these places a few years ago and was very familiar with the terrain between the Huaihe River and the Dajiang River."
"After Lord Gongshu returned, he planned a detailed plan as soon as possible and discussed the amount of money required. The emperor will join us here to become the king." The emperor said, "You will have to worry about other disaster relief matters in various places."
"Yes, these people's livelihood plans may not be enough." Zhou Mu, the Zuo Tutor, who had not said anything, stepped forward and said slowly, "Otherwise, it would be like a drop in the bucket, and it would be better to make a long-term plan."
"Mr. Zuo Tu is such a bad word."
Gongshu Jin hurriedly said, "Mr. Ling Yin means that although water control is important, there is no rush. I will have to settle the refugees for the winter as soon as next year after the spring begins next year."
"With that being said, the treasury is now empty and I can do nothing to do..." Zhou Mu said slowly.
Gongshu Jin waited for this sentence and sneered, "Mr. Zhou also told Ben Yin three years ago that the treasury all supported the war, so he had no money to build the dam."
Zhou Mu's face froze and said hard, "I can't predict the battle against natural disasters!"
Gongshu Jing smiled and said, "It's not bad, so why do you need to build a dike and dam? Whenever there is a big flood, everyone will raft on the river and travel together."
Although Gongshu Jin was a tutor, he was not inferior to those civil officials in terms of verbal talk.
Next time, Zhou Mu blushed and couldn't speak.
Mi Huang thoughtfully took the conflict between Zuo Tu and Gong Yin, and refused to interrupt, and then completed the inspection.
Everyone goes back to their own homes, but not home naturally begins to think.
Gongshu is very satisfied with Gongshu Nian’s performance today.
Especially if he can really achieve results in water control, then his position as an official Yin, the position of the loser, was preserved. In addition, the lake and dam construction can be considered a major project, with many various ways, and the reputation of collecting money by using this is naturally no less than that of Sima, who uses war to collect grain.
In the black carriage of Gongshu Mansion, Gongshu Jin patted his son's broad shoulders and encouraged him, "Do work hard and don't embarrass our Sigong Mansion!"
"Yes, father." Gong Shunian couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw his father's kind expression for the first time.
Gongshu Jin shook his head when he saw this, "Be brave, you are so timid, but you are not good at it."
"Yeah, father." Gongshunian nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Mu returned to the city and returned to the Zhou Mansion. He met Zhou Jinghua as soon as he entered the door. She asked, "Father, have you seen Brother Jia?"
"See, daughter."
Zhou Mu walked in and said with a smile, "He has been resettling refugees outside the city these days, and this is done. In addition, the water control project he proposed today is a top priority. It is too inappropriate for him to do this defeat."
"Of course, Brother Cheng Jia is actually not inferior to Brother Zi Yan in terms of ability!" Zhou Jinghua nodded and smiled, "Even Ling Yin can't take it."
"He is a talent."
A trace of essence flashed through Zhou Mu's shrewd eyes, and his elegant face was very satisfied. "You dare to raise such a large project of water control, and you can be said to be a young man!"
Zhou Jinghua looked gloomy.
In Cheng Mansion, Ruo Ao Ziyan and Cheng Jia sat opposite each other and smiled, "Now we have released the long term, it depends on who jumped out."
Mi Huang stood aside and visited the monastery, and always felt that the place was too simple.
Gongshu Jin smiled all the way, and was very satisfied with Gongshu Nian's performance today.
Especially if he can really achieve results in water control, then his position as a loser, Yin will be saved.
In the black carriage of Gongshu Mansion, Gongshu Jin patted his son's broad shoulders and encouraged him, "Do work hard and don't embarrass our Sigong Mansion!"
"Yes, father."
Gongshunian saw his father's kind expression for the first time, and his neck shrank.
Gongshu Jin shook his head when he saw this, "Be brave, you are so timid, but you are not good at it."
"Yeah, father." Gongshunian nodded repeatedly.
, encouraged Gongshunian to encourage him, "Don't be afraid, follow me!"
Gongshunian rubbed his fat hands nervously and focused his head, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
"Jing'an, you will wait for the spread in the hall later."
"Yes, young master."
But at this moment, Cheng Jia smiled indifferently and said again: "Your Majesty, I have something to present to the king about the disaster relief that the two masters said just now."
Seeing that it was Cheng Jia, the King of Chu frowned slightly and felt a little headache.
Chapter completed!
