Chapter 393 Want to see how to control floods?
Before she reached the study, she saw Gongyang Ruoyu already waiting at the door. When she saw her master holding her, her mind was stunned for a moment. What was going on?
"Is Miss Su injured?" Gongyang Ruoyu walked forward and asked.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired and don't want to leave."
"It's my fault. I will arrange a sedan chair right away."
"No need to bother." Su Yueyao gestured to Qianqian to put her down.
"Sir, I would like to see a map of the entire Nanling Prefecture. Is that okay?"
"Of course, Miss Su, do you plan to see how to deal with the flood?"
"Well, I want to try to see if I can improve the problem of Nanling Prefecture's chronic flooding."
Several people entered the study. Gong Yang Ruoyu took out a map directly from the cabinet and spread it on the table. Su Yueyao walked over and looked at it carefully.
Others gathered around.
"Su Nujun's Nanshui County is the area with the most serious floods every year. Nanyu County also has heavy rains in June and July every year. The dikes will continue to rise. It even broke once two years ago, which directly caused all other counties to suffer heavy losses." Gongyang Ruoyu said, pointing to the map.
Su Yueyao looked at it quietly and thought for a while before asking, "The reason why Nanshui County and Nanyu County have been breaching their dikes is because of this branch river. Every year when there is heavy rainfall, it will flow down. We can change the river course and dig a river channel from here, so that a large part of the river will bypass the mountain here and return to the downstream river."
After Su Yueyao finished speaking, everyone was thinking about the feasibility.
"Ms. Su, this is a village, and this manor belongs to the Wei family, the head of the aristocratic families in Nanling Prefecture. They are a branch of the Fengdu Wei family. Even if this method is feasible, the Wei family may not agree." Gongyang Ruoyu said.
"Is it not possible for the imperial court to collect the taxes? We can build an equivalent farm in this forest and give it to the Wei family." Su Yueyao said, pointing to a forest not far away.
"That's also Wei's."
"..."
"Doesn't the imperial court forbid the buying and selling of mountains?"
"This land was given to the Wei family by the previous Queen."
"..."
"According to the map, if we change the route here, we can completely save the two counties of Nanshui and Nanyu, and the counties downstream will be preserved. It will be a major event that will benefit the country and the people for thousands of years. Even the entire Nanling Prefecture can benefit from it. You can take a look, but the map is not accurate. We still have to go and see it in person." Su Yueyao said.
"I didn't expect Lady Su to be so good at flood control. With so many officials coming from the court, no one has ever found a way to change the situation. They all want to work hard to repair the dams." Gongyang Ruoyu praised Su Yueyao.
"You didn't think of it before, sir. You never wanted to change the root cause. The flood is to be dredged and managed. Moreover, there are some low-lying areas here and there. If necessary, we still have to abandon them."
After hearing what Su Yueyao said, several people were in deep thought.
"Ms. Su, shall we go and take a look together tomorrow?" Inspector Pu said.
"Didn't we agree to go tomorrow?" Su Yueyao didn't understand why Inspector Pu asked again.
"I'm afraid you'll find it too muddy over there and won't go."
"No, if the flood is controlled as soon as possible, the economy of the south will develop better, and the people of Fengluan will live better. After all, Nanling Prefecture is a prosperous place. Fengdu has a lot of food, fruits, vegetables, and cloth that are shipped here."
No one expected Su Yueyao to say such a thing. Is this something a woman can say? There is a reason why the queen can use her so much.
"Lady Su's righteousness is a blessing to the people of Nanling Prefecture." Gongyang Ruoyu bowed to Su Yueyao and said.
Su Yueyao half-hidden and said, "My Lord, I am sorry for embarrassing myself. I just did what I should do, and it was quite difficult. My Lord finally carried out the supervision and governance."
"With Lady Su's planning, I am confident that the flood problem that has plagued Nanling Prefecture for hundreds of years can be completely solved."
"I hope so!"
After that, they talked about some other things until the steward came to inform them that the banquet was about to start.
"Lady Su, let's go to the banquet, shall we? Nanling Prefecture is most famous for its buffet, Lady Su, you should go and try it."
"Then I'd really like to try it." Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"Tomorrow I will go to Nanshui County with you and Inspector Pu." Gongyang Ruoyu continued.
"It would be good for you to go there. Repairing the canal in the later stage will probably require manpower and material resources."
The two talked as they walked. Gong Yang Ruoyu's conversation was extraordinary in all aspects, and the topics he talked about were just right. He didn't make her feel uncomfortable at all. Su Yueyao thought that this man was really a social expert.
Yang Qianxun frowned as he listened to the two people talking. He frowned, thinking that A Yao would not marry him in the end...
Nan Feng, who was standing behind him, watched Su Yueyao and Gong Yangruoyu chatting so happily, with a hint of mystery in his eyes. Others could do it, so why couldn't he...
Inspector Lianpu frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
In this way, Su Yueyao and Gong Yang Ruoyu arrived at the courtyard where the banquet was held while talking.
Su Yueyao found that the whole yard was bustling with people. There were two or three long rows of tables in the middle filled with delicious food, but most people were talking.
When the people in the yard saw Gong Yang Ruoyu, they immediately bowed and saluted.
"Greetings, Mr. Prefect."
"Greetings to Miss Su, Inspector Pu."
Su Yueyao took a few careful glances and her heart trembled. What a guy! She was the only woman in the whole yard. She was a little panicked to be the only focus of the whole place!
"Everyone, please stand up. Today I am hosting a welcoming banquet for the distinguished guests from Fengdu, Lady Su and Inspector Pu."
"Please come this way, Miss Su." Gongyang Ruoyu led Su Yueyao to the stage and motioned for her to sit in the main seat in the middle.
"I...should I sit in that?" Su Yueyao looked at the middle seat, stopped and asked again with some stuttering.
"When a woman is present, even if she holds a lower official position, she must sit in the main seat," Gongyang Ruoyu explained.
"..."
Su Yueyao walked to her seat and sat down with gritted teeth. Everyone at the banquet was looking at her.
Su Yueyao felt like people were staring holes through her body...all kinds of eyes were lingering on her, and Su Yueyao felt like she was not wearing any clothes.
The banquets I attended before were always attended by women, so everyone's attention was scattered. It was not like today when everyone was looking at her. If I had known, I would not have come.
Fortunately, everyone else took their seats one by one. After everyone in the yard started to sit down, fewer people looked at her.
Yang Qianxun knelt beside Su Yueyao.
"Ayao, it's okay. They can just look at you and pretend it doesn't exist." Yang Qianxun gently comforted Su Yueyao.
"Please, Miss Su." Gongyang Ruoyu signaled Su Yueyao to pick up her chopsticks.
Su Yueyao reacted immediately and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dish in front of her.
"Please enjoy your meal, everyone." Gongyang Ruoyu said.
At this moment, a boat suddenly came from the empty lake in front of her. On it, a man was dancing. Su Yueyao stared at it with her eyes wide open. There was also a performance...
She was just thinking that the lake in front was a bit abrupt and there was nothing there, but it turned out to be like this.
Yang Qianxun saw Su Yueyao's eyes filled with surprise and gently pulled her.
Su Yueyao reacted and immediately retracted her surprised look. This place is indeed prosperous and wealthy! The decorations on this boat are so beautiful, and the men on it dance gracefully and gracefully! It's simply amazing!
