Saving your life is important. If the house is gone, if you build it again, you will lose people, but nothing is gone.

No one fell asleep that night, and Jing Hong didn't come back until dawn, carrying a mud.

"The flood has passed, and the water level here has risen a lot, and it is still under our control." Jing Hong said happily.

"What's wrong with you?" Tao Shiwu pointed at him and said.

"Oh! The sandbag was washed away and we blocked it again." Jing Hong looked at them with a silly smile and said, "Fortunately, it was enough to prepare, otherwise the water would be poured in."

"Come on, wash away." Tao Shiwu urged to look at him.

"Yes!" Jing Hong went to rinse.

Tao Shiwu and the others sat on the bamboo chair in the yard, "I don't know what else is going on?"

"It's okay to say in the city. The river embankment is strong enough. I'm afraid that the surrounding villages and towns will not be solid." Tao Qini said with deep peach blossom eyes looking at them.

"Bless everyone to be safe!" Shen clasped his hands together and looked at the already bright sky.

In the imperial study room, Chu Jiu did not sleep all night, and the flood was even bigger than he thought.

From other villages along the river, the water had reached its waist and simply evacuated it in time, causing no casualties. It was just that the rice was finished this season and it was all soaked in the water.

Wherever you go, you will be devastated!

The flood in the city was even more violent, hitting the river embankment, and the waves were comparable to sea waves. The water sprayed mud-like yellow water through the sandbag.

Some people directly overturned and washed away the raised sandbags, and the soldiers on the river embankment immediately filled the sandbags.

There was no major danger. Although the flood peak had passed, the water level did not fall back. We still had to keep it day and night to prevent the sandbag from soaking for a long time and causing problems.

I really don’t dare to slack off at all! Only when the water level drops can I get through it.

&*&

Half a month later, the water finally retreated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Jiu ordered the farm to kill pigs and sheep and reward the three armies.

In the military camp, the celebration banquet was held in such a distant place.

Li Daotong grabbed the pig's trotter and started to chew. Chu Jiu looked at him in surprise, "I didn't expect that Mr. Li would be unpolite."

Mr. Li? Li Daotong's dark eyes shook. He didn't expect that he missed the title quite much. "Happy, happy, I didn't expect that the flood really came, let alone that we could take it over."

The low-lying area has been washed away, and the depth of the water can be two or three meters deep.

"It's better to prepare well, otherwise the gods will be hard to save the gods." Chu Jiu put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed, "In terms of wartime, that is, the timely transmission of 'military information' is to give us enough time to prepare."

Lin Guanbang smiled and said, "This is really a reward for Sad Dan'er and the others."

The name of this bird is too vulgar. It can be named a mighty and domineering name, but... forget it, this is not what we decided.

"Don't worry! They are treasured." Chu Jiu said with a gentle look. They were much faster than the carrier pigeons.

Chu Jiu couldn't catch a high-level player like Jijiu, so he would let people raise carrier pigeons. The effect was pretty good, but he couldn't compare with birds of prey like vultures.

"The key is action and execution, and more importantly, the active cooperation of the people." Li Daotong looked at Chu Jiu with a moving expression and said, "Otherwise, any mistake in any link may fail."

"The people are also very cute. The young and middle-aged people in the village are also guarding the river embankment. The elderly and women in the village are also delivering their own hot food to the embankment one by one." Li Daotong said to them with a warm eyes.

"It's much better than the landlords and merchants." Chu Jiu called out directly, "Mom runs faster than anyone else."

"Uh..." Li Daotong lit the dishes on the table after hearing this, "This elbow looks like you have appetite, the emperor will try it."

Chu Jiu glanced at him with clear eyes and picked up the chopsticks, "Although the water has retreated, some houses in the water have been soaked in the water for so many days, so they will definitely not be able to live in it."

"This has been registered one by one by one by the Ministry of Works. Let's arrange for people to rebuild it." Li Daotong immediately said when he heard this, "It's just that we should find a place to rebuild it now, or choose another place to build it."

"Let the Ministry of Works investigate, I think it's better to choose a place to build another building. Even if there is no flood this time, the south of the Yangtze River will be easily flooded. It's just a good opportunity to rebuild it." Chu Jiu looked at them with a clear look and said, "But they have to be voluntarily! You can't force it. After all, if you move, there are too many aspects involved, and the clan forces and the ancestral cemeteries have to be reconsidered."

"I'll arrange people to ask about their wishes from door to door." Li Daotong thought for a while, "Although the population has increased in recent years, it has not yet returned to the level before the epidemic."

"The vital energy caused by the water Gu is severely damaged, and many villages are really gone." Chu Jiu had a deep understanding of this. He personally traveled all over the 33 counties of the five prefectures and eight prefectures of Jinling.

"Your Majesty, I have the intention, but this requires a lot of money." Lin Guanbang said in a low voice.

"The money is not bad! Let it go." Chu Jiucai said arrogantly, suddenly restrained the smile on his face and looked at them and said, "The ugly words are ahead. Who dares to tamper with this? Don't blame my relatives for not recognizing it."

Li Daotong and Lin Guanbang were shocked when they heard this and looked at each other. The master really kept his word.

"How can the emperor be? You can check it yourself at that time." Li Daotong said wisely.

Chu Jiu's black eyes shook slightly. He didn't need to say anything about this, he would definitely arrange for someone to check it out.

"The water has receded, I will go north from now on, and I will leave my home to you." Chu Jiu said with deep obsidian eyes looking at them.

"So fast." Li Daotong said reluctantly.

"If it weren't for this water, I would have left long ago." Chu Jiu put his elbow meat into his mouth, "If you don't decide when you encounter something, discuss with the queen."

Li Daotong moved his mouth, hesitating whether to speak. Lin Guanbang winked at him, and finally Li Daotong swallowed the words to his mouth.

After the celebration banquet, Li Daotong and the others sent Chu Jiugong away. He pulled Lin Guanbang to an empty place and said, "Why did you wink me just now? Do you know what I want to say?"

"Didn't the Prime Minister want to say that the harem cannot interfere in politics!" Lin Guanbang said directly as he looked at him.

"How do you know?" Li Daotong said to him in surprise.

"Is this difficult to guess?" Lin Guanbang said, looking at him with his eyebrows raised.

"What are you doing to me?" Li Daotong said bluntly, "This is what the minister should do."

"Prince, I said, don't be angry." Lin Guanbang said with a straight look at him.

"Tell me!" Li Daotong vaguely guessed what he was going to say.

Sure enough, Lin Guanbang said bluntly, "Have you learned this lesson for sharing the worries of the emperor?" Then he said, "Our emperor is different from other emperor couples. The couple walked through from scratch. There are no other concubines around the emperor, and there are no descendants, so what selfishness can we have? The Empress is dedicated to the emperor, and the husband and wife are dedicated to him." He pounded his elbow, "You have to get used to this pattern of getting along, and you can't look at people with the old idea."

"But this is wrong." Li Daotong frowned and said, "Some etiquette and laws cannot be abolished. If this is a case in point, what will happen in the future?"

"I said Prime Minister, when did you see the Queen interfere in politics?" Lin Guanbang looked up at him and asked, "When will the Queen appear in front of him?"

"That's not." Li Daotong thought about it after hearing this.

"I know the rules better than us." Lin Guanbang said in a low voice, "I'm even more afraid of endless troubles." Looking at him thinking, "The emperor said, if you don't decide when you encounter big things, what else can you do now? Major things have been concentrated in the war in the north, and this family is just trivial matters. I didn't say that you should discuss with the Queen at any time when you encounter big things!"

"Yeah!" Li Daotong's eyelids slightly flirted when he heard this, "Thank you, brother, for reminding me."

"Then you have to listen to it." Lin Guanbang bowed with a smile, pointing to the evening sky and said, "It's getting late."

"Let's go!" Li Daotong said with a smile.

&*&

Chu Jiu arranged everything and boarded the ship to head north.

And at this moment! He Erlen and Xu Wendong and his two armies made dumplings for Zuo Duyu.

In Xu Wendong's central army tent, the generals surrounded the map and studied the conclusion that they had drawn for a long time, "The front must have blocked Zuo Duyu's way."

"Then what are we waiting for? Just beat them up!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals and officials agreed.

"We must fight, but we have to join Duke Yao. Now everything is our guess." Guo Junnan said calmly.

"Uh..." The people present calmed down.

"Report! Report to Duke Xu, General He asked for a visit outside the gate."

"Please invite him in." Xu Wendong shouted at the messenger with joy.

He Erlen, who was wearing armor, walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to Duke Xu and Duke Guo." He bowed to Chu Zeyuan again.

"It's great that Erlen is here. Hurry up and talk about the situation in the capital?" Xu Guogong pointed his index finger, "Hurry up, sit down and talk."

The officials immediately moved their positions and let He Erlen sit in the first place on his left hand.

He Erlen bowed to the generals and said: Thank you.

He Erlen sat down and explained the situation in the capital in detail.

The people present couldn't help but be amazed, "This Yan Ting's people are cruel enough."

"What does immortality mean?" Guo Junnan said with a smile on his lips and looked at him.

"Attack the heart is the best." He Erleng raised his index finger and looked at them with a spring breeze on his face.

Xu Wendong's eyes lit up when he heard this, "But Zuo Duyu would believe it?"
