I am Yuan Niaoniao

........Sudden flood, civil and military officials rushed to the palace to discuss...

"Your Majesty, this time there was a sudden flood in the south, submerging several villages. Now it's the end of the year, if there is no harvest... Although the grain stored from the bumper harvest before this year is enough for the whole country to survive this severe winter, if there is a war next year, I'm afraid the grain in the treasury will not be enough. Moreover, the people in the south are now displaced and complaining bitterly." Prime Minister Jin reported the disaster in the south.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury is currently sufficient and the granaries are full. You should open the granaries to release grain and send ministers to the south to provide disaster relief in order to restore the people's confidence in your majesty and in Dadu." The Governor of Luocheng also stepped forward to advise.

"Then who do you think is the most suitable person to be sent to carry out disaster relief?" Han Junwu looked at the ministers who were discussing the issue below.

"I recommend Prince Han." Minister Xing stepped forward and named Han Haotian, because he was originally Han Haotian's man. In addition, if he made contributions to flood control, Prince Han's future achievements should not be underestimated: "Right now, the people are troubled by floods. Sending Prince Han to go there will make the people feel the emperor's attention. At the same time, seeing Prince Han's presence will make the people feel more at ease." Minister Xing pushed Han Haotian up with just one word, grabbing the credit first and then talking about it: "As for flood control, Prince Han is resourceful and I believe he can do it without any problem."

The Minister of Xing looked at Han Haotian and said nothing, but Han Junwu could see that the Minister of Xing was "using his conscience". However, the flattery of the Minister of Xing also exposed who he was, and since it had not been long since the incident with Xu Shanshan, he really shouldn't rush to show off at this time.

"Your son is willing to share the worries for the emperor and the people." Han Haotian stepped forward to ask for permission. He didn't think so much at all. He only thought that he must get the credit. It was just a flood. He had many capable people under him. There would always be a way. If successful, his father would definitely look up to him. He would be no worse than Han Junyi.

"Okay, the prince is willing to help my people solve their problems, I am really comforted, but curing the flood is not just talk, floods have been frequent since ancient times, why don't our generation take this opportunity to build a defense system and solve it once and for all. And after thinking about this important task, it is better to find someone who can take it up." What he meant was that in his opinion, Han Haotian was not yet able to bear this responsibility, some things can't be done by talking, he knew Han Haotian's strength, he didn't think he had the strength to do it well. And this was also a warning to him, not settling the account did not mean that the previous things could be written off.

"Father is right." Han Haotian's eyes dimmed, and he did not refute. What he meant was that he felt he could not do this, ha, ridiculous, or he wanted to give the credit to Han Junyi, right?

Upon hearing this, Han Junyi was ready to step forward and ask for orders. He knew that his father was giving him a chance to show his abilities, and a confident look appeared on his face.

"Prince Chen, do you have any solution?" To everyone's surprise, Han Junwu actually asked Chen Shaoyi.

Naturally, he knew that Han Junwu was making things difficult for him. He thought that he grew up in the desert and was unfamiliar with the land outside the desert. Moreover, if he could cure the flood, as long as he agreed, Han Junwu would not suffer any loss if he succeeded, but he would become a sinner in the world if he failed. A trace of ridicule flashed in Chen Shaoyi's eyes.

"Shao Yi has a plan and is willing to help the emperor and the people."

"Okay! Then let Prince Chen go to provide disaster relief." I want to see what you are capable of. Han Junwu's eyes showed a scrutinizing light.

"Retreat."

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor"

When Chen Shaoyi returned home, he ordered his men to pack up their belongings and set off soon. Thinking that he would be away for a long time, he went to find Yuan Niaoniao to say goodbye to her before leaving.

"wave."

Chen Shaoyi's voice came from outside the window again. Yuan Niao Niao shook her head and opened the window, "Why are you here again, brother?"

"I'm going to the south to control floods, and I'll be away for a while." Chen Shaoyi said.

"I know about the flood in the south, but I didn't expect you to be sent there. This is not a good job." I thought Prince Yi or Han Haotian would be sent.

"Yes, I'm here to say goodbye to you. If you have anything, go to Mingge to find Mingchen." "Now that I have been entrusted with an important task, I really have no time to take care of Yuan Niaoniao. I can only leave Mingxiao and instruct Mingge to guard the Yuan Mansion. I am worried that someone will have bad thoughts about Yuan Niaoniao when I am not here. After all, she is my engaged princess who has not yet married me."

Yuan Niao Niao felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say. She just nodded and said, "Have a safe journey."

Chen Shaoyi was a little disappointed, and only asked, "Are you safe?" But there was nothing he could do. After all, it didn't matter now. It was just an empty title, so he left disappointed.

The people affected by the flood also need medical assistance. Jiaxin, who comes from the future, may have a better solution. He immediately set out to find Gong Jiaxin.

Seeing Yuan Niao Niao coming to see her late at night, Gong Jiaxin was confused. She only became serious when she heard clearly that she wanted to ask for advice on the cure. "Miss Yuan, listen carefully. One: Dredging: Dredging reservoirs, lakes, rivers and estuaries, deepening and widening the water-passing sections, blasting away reefs, clearing sunken ships, trees and other obstacles to water discharge, straightening bends, increasing the gradient of water flow, and improving flood discharge capacity. Two, building embankments: Building embankments along the river banks, lake banks, and reservoir banks to protect the banks and prevent floods from overflowing. Can you remember?"

"I've got it." He was very confident in his extraordinary memory, and after a little thought, he knew that the methods Gong Jiaxin mentioned were absolutely good strategies. If they were implemented 100%, Chen Shaoyi might not be able to think of such a perfect strategy. He hugged Gong Jiaxin and said, "You are a genius!"

I was a little overwhelmed when Yuan Nianiao suddenly hugged me, but I immediately realized that I was helping her, and I felt happy too.

So he wrote down Gong Jiaxin's words and hurried to Chen Shaoyi's house.

Looking at Yuan Niao Niao who was a little out of breath, Chen Shaoyi was surprised and happy: "Why are you here?"

"I want to go with you. I have medical skills and medicinal herbs. I can meet all the conditions required in the face of disasters. I also have a method to control the flood once and for all."

Hearing Yuan Niao Niao say that she wanted to go with him was naturally a surprise, but: "Have you told General Yuan? Does Madam Yuan agree?"

"Oh, yes, wait for me, I'll go back and report." Yuan Niaoniao just remembered that this was just a spur of the moment decision and she hadn't told her family about it yet.

"I'll go with you." Chen Shaoyi said.

So the next morning, Chen Shaoyi went to Yuan Mansion to explain the matter to Yuan Wuhe. After Yuan Niaoniao's soft and hard persuasion, Yuan Wuhe and Bai Yue'e shook their heads and finally agreed to it. After all, this was a good thing to save the people, but the road was also dangerous, and they didn't want their granddaughter to suffer outside, after all, she had never left home.

"Grandpa is the best." Yuan Niaoniao said excitedly. She also wanted to take this opportunity to step out of her comfort zone and venture out into the world.

After days of traveling, they finally arrived. The carriages of the palace entered the city one after another. Everywhere were displaced refugees and soldiers cleaning up the silt and water.

"Greetings to His Highness Prince Chen. I am late in handling trivial matters. Please forgive me." County Magistrate Li brought a group of officers and soldiers to welcome Chen Shaoyi.

"It's okay, it's okay. Your Excellency the Magistrate has official business to attend to." As soon as Chen Shaoyi got off the carriage, he saw Magistrate Li and others waiting.

"That's His Royal Highness Prince Chen!" "I heard that the Emperor sent His Royal Highness Prince Chen down, we are saved." Several people who were nearby heard and cheered, attracting everyone to look over.

"This is Miss Yuan, the daughter of General Yuan. She is here to help with the disaster relief as well."

"Greetings, Magistrate Li." Yuan Niaoniao bowed at the right time.

"It is an honor to have His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Miss Yuan come to our small town. I have heard of General Yuan's reputation for a long time. Is General Yuan okay? With Miss's help this time, I believe the efficiency will increase dramatically and help the people get rid of their illness and suffering as soon as possible."

"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern." Yuan smiled. This county magistrate was really good at flattering others. If he couldn't cure the disease, it would be because he was not capable enough. "I will definitely help His Royal Highness Prince Chen and do my best."

"I was so busy talking that I forgot that you had such a tiring journey. I will take you to settle down right away." County Magistrate Li finally remembered what he had to do.

"Miss, I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen has such a great reputation. Look, just now those common people cheered and shouted when they heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen was coming." Dong Xue said while packing her luggage.

"Yes, but it may not be a good thing. A tall tree attracts the wind." If such popular support and opinion were to be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, it would probably bring about a catastrophic disaster.

"Miss is really thoughtful." If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of such a deep meaning.

Yuan Niaoniao had always wanted to be as simple-minded as Dongxue, but she had too many things on her shoulders, so she had to think carefully about everything. "So you should remember to talk less and do more, and be cautious in everything you do."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Miss. The master asked me to ask you if everything is okay." Chen Shaoyi's attendant was waiting outside the door to ask questions.

"Okay, you can come out now." Yuan Niao Niao pushed open the door and followed the entourage to meet Chen Shaoyi.

"Niao Niao, go to the clinic and see patients first. I will discuss flood control with Magistrate Li."

"Okay, I will follow your Highness's arrangements."

"Your Highness Prince Chen, look, this is the map you asked me for. I have marked the areas severely affected by the disaster for you. If you want to know anything, just ask my subordinates." County Magistrate Li handed the map to Chen Shaoyi.

"Well, let me first take a look at what waterproofing measures are currently being taken." Chen Shaoyi spread out the map and looked at it carefully.

"They all piled up sandbags where the dikes were broken to prevent flooding." Magistrate Li thought for a moment and said, "This has always been the flood prevention measure."

Chen Shaoyi only looked at the terrain surrounded by the sea and felt a headache. Stacking sandbags was not a long-term solution. The water level continued to rise and there was nowhere to drain the accumulated water. "Let's dig a canal to divert the water." Pointing to the source of the flood, "Send people to dig a canal here, dig a large reservoir inside, and then divert the water to this reservoir."

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away."

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Although Chen Shaoyi's method had alleviated the situation, it was still on the verge of collapse. Seeing that the newly built reservoir was getting fuller and fuller, he could not repair the reservoir repeatedly, which was only a temporary solution. Chen Shaoyi worked all night. On Niao Niao's side, the situation had improved. In addition to giving away soup and medicine every day, the patients were classified and the serious ones were treated first and the minor ones were treated later. The efficiency was greatly increased, and the people who recovered their health joined the team to rebuild their homes. For a time, the people were more grateful to Yuan Niao Niao.

"Miss, the light is still on in His Royal Highness Prince Chen's room. He must still be troubled by the drainage issue. Dong Xue and Yuan Niaoniao had just returned from the pharmacy, and when they passed by Chen Shaoyi's room, they saw that the light was still on.

"Go back and help me prepare first. I'll go in and take a look." Yuan Niaoniao stopped and knocked on the door: "Chen Shaoyi?"

"come in."

When I pushed the door open, I saw that Chen Shaoyi might have not had a good rest in recent days, and the dark circles under his eyes were almost bigger than his eyes.

"Can I take a look?" Yuan Niaoniao came forward, added some candle wicks, and the light came on.

"Well, it's good for you to take a look. You've always been smart." Chen Shaoyi handed over a stack of documents and maps, then closed his eyes and rested for a while.

Yuan Niao Niao looked at the map, and then at the marks and notes made by Chen Shaoyi. After a while, she came up with an idea and spoke: "Jia Xin gave me a method, saying that her hometown used this method to control floods, maybe it can be used."

"Oh, tell me about it." Chen Shaoyi opened his eyes and immediately became alert.

"One: Dredging: dredging reservoirs, lakes, rivers and estuaries, deepening and widening the water-passing sections, blasting away reefs, clearing away obstacles to water discharge such as sunken ships and trees, straightening bends, increasing the gradient of water flow, and improving flood discharge capacity. Two: Building embankments: building embankments along the river banks, lake banks, and reservoir banks to protect the banks and prevent floods from overflowing. You see, with the terrain surrounded by the sea, using these two methods can solve the problem once and for all. The above two are methods of strengthening the roots. In order to prevent the severe drought next year, I suggest building a reservoir to store the excess water that has gushed out this time, which can be used for irrigation and recycling. In short, this water cannot be wasted, nor can it be allowed to make a comeback!" Combining the method given to her by Gong Jiaxin and thinking about the possibilities in the future, Yuan Niaoniao added her own ideas on this basis.
