Chapter 975: Torrential Rain
After listening to what Shi Yuan said, although Baihua understood what he meant, he felt that it was difficult to succeed in doing so. So he asked with some concern: "Time is in a hurry, I'm afraid that in such a short time...... It's hard to do that, right? ”
She didn't want to pour cold water on Shi Yuan, so what she said was already quite tactful. Of course, Shi Yuan could also understand what she meant, so he smiled slightly and explained: "This matter was already planned when I was in Jinling, and many things were carried out in secret, in addition to these brochures, I also built newspapers in Yangzhou and Jinling. ”
"Newspaper?"
"That's right! The so-called newspaper is a kind of media that spreads and creates public opinion. Well...... To put it simply, what the people now believe most in is the government. This so-called newspaper is like a notice issued by the government, but the content of this newspaper is much richer and more exciting! The human heart is the hardest thing to guess, but it's also the easiest to guide! And if the human heart is guided correctly, it will be a great force. The so-called three people become tigers, this is like believing in Buddhism and believing in God......"
Shi Yuan said slowly, Baihua and Shen Wei finally understood the general idea. It's just that it's still difficult for them to understand Shi Yuan's current behavior, but they don't ask more about it. Regardless of their previous status, they are now accustomed to handling things in Shi Yuan's way. If you have time to dwell on these things here, why don't you enjoy this short period of warmth......
It's just that before this warmth, there must be a troublesome thing to deal with - glass.
Ruri hesitated outside the courtyard for a long time, and finally decided to enter the courtyard. Although she didn't want to talk to Shi Yuan in her heart, in the next time, she had to get along with Shi Yuan, if it was like this...... But it's not a solution.
"Ruri? I've already helped you pack up your things, this time follow Shi Gongzi, you have to be obedient and protect Shi Gongzi......" Baihua saw Liuli come in, and began to babble again.
Liuli heard it, although she was reluctant in every way, but after all, it was her senior sister who said it, so she nodded.
"Xiaohua, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Liuli." And Shi Yuan also stood up at this time, and said to Liuli with a smile.
"I don't want you to take care of it! It's almost as good as I take care of you! Liuli put her hands on her waist and said very dissatisfied.
Looking at Liuli's appearance, Shen Wei and Baihua couldn't help but laugh...... Liuli, who was originally full of anger towards Shi Yuan, felt this atmosphere, and finally endured it: Okay! Let's save a little face for you! Liuli thought in her heart, glared at Shi Yuan fiercely, and then looked up at the gloomy sky. At this time, there happened to be a raindrop the size of a bean falling on Ruri's face......
The first heavy rain since the beginning of summer came very suddenly, and Shi Yuan originally planned to make good use of this half day to save the temperature, but was disturbed by this heavy rain.
"Hopefully this heavy rain will be a good sign!" When a few people hid in the room, they looked at the rain that immediately became heavier, and said to themselves with some worry.
In many places between Jinling and Yangzhou, arrangements are already underway for refugees. If a flood breaks out at such a time, it will undoubtedly be a worse thing. A little "sacred aura" that he managed to create among the refugees...... I'm afraid it will be gone.
"Xiaohua, how are the embankments in Yangzhou and Jinling?" Although Shi Yuan is now nominally the ruler of Jinling and Yangzhou, he is completely unclear about the situation in Jinling City and Yangzhou City, except for the situation in Jinling City and Yangzhou City...... From this point of view, he is really a failure as a ruler.
When Baihua heard this, she immediately understood what he meant, and replied with some anxiety: "The embankments in these two places have been in disrepair for many years, and if there is a flood...... I'm afraid it's going to be a bad thing. ”
"That's not going to work! This can't be done......" Shi Yuan shook his head and said a few words, and then whispered to himself: "I don't know what the situation of cement development in Jinling City is, if it can be mass-produced now." ”
"Are you going to build an embankment?" Shen Wei on the side saw Shi Yuan, who was suddenly worried, and asked with concern.
Shi Yuan nodded after hearing this, "Yes!" If there is a flood, it will undoubtedly make matters worse, and it is not easy to settle those refugees, but nothing can go wrong. It seems that this matter has to be explained to Guo Renjie's kid......"
"But...... I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money to build a dam, and now with the financial resources in our hands, I am afraid that it will not be enough. "Although it's not good to distract Shi Yuan from other things at such a critical time, the problem is the problem, and there is always a way to solve it.
"Yay? I almost forgot...... Now I'm a poor man. Hearing Shen Wei's reminder, Shi Yuan reacted. No matter what you do now, you have to pay for it, and this is not something that can be solved by just talking about it.
In fact, regarding the issue of infrastructure, Shi Yuan has been trying to find ways to develop some basic materials since he decided to meddle in the affairs of Jinling. However, under the current conditions, it is necessary to produce these infrastructure materials on a large scale...... It is indeed quite a difficult thing to do.
"Do you want me to figure it out? Qingfeng Pavilion has branches everywhere in Beiqing and Xishu, if you raise money to build embankments...... It's not enough, but it should solve some of the key points. After Baihua saw that Shi Yuan was laughing at himself, he was completely silent, and thought that he was worried about this matter, so he wanted to share his sorrows for Shi Yuan.
But Shi Yuan heard it, but shook his head, "Not yet!" There are still many things to do with money, and at this critical time, we should try to save as much as possible. If we had provided the materials and the refugees from all over the country had to build the levees themselves, it wouldn't have cost too much, right? ”
"If that's the case, it really won't cost much. It's just that since the floods last year, people everywhere have been displaced, and they want to strengthen the embankments, but there are not too many people. ”
Hearing Baihua's words, Shi Yuan suddenly felt a little headache: it is indeed as Baihua said, now the people in Jinling and Yangzhou have just been settled, and there is still the Beiqing army in Jiangbei, and most people are a little uneasy in their hearts...... But if these dikes are not reinforced, in the event of a flood, all efforts will be lost!
"Even if that's the case, we still have to strengthen the embankment as much as possible before the flood season arrives." After a pause, "It seems...... This battle between the north and the south must end as soon as possible! ”
