Du Qi said unhurriedly, "Ye 'er, you think your plan is very good. However, from the beginning to the end, have you ever considered that the rainstorm this time was Wang Hongyi's own judgment, his own judgment? If his judgment is correct, it's naturally for the best. You can avoid it if you make preparations in advance. "
After a pause, Du Qi said, "But if his judgment is wrong, wouldn't you have wasted a lot of time and energy to make such temporarily unnecessary arrangements?"
Du Ye suddenly understood when he heard it.
If Du Qi didn't mention it, he wouldn't have known. But now that Du Qi mentioned it, he immediately reacted.
He really didn't consider it thoroughly.
Du Ye said, "Father, what you mean is that I should do some research first. First, I should ask a lot of people who know about astronomical phenomena, as well as the local elders. Because these elders who know about astronomical phenomena can roughly make a judgment after knowing the situation. "
Du Qi praised, "Smart. You really reacted quickly. No matter what, you can't just listen to one side of the story. As the saying goes, if you listen to both sides, you will be clear. If you only listen to one side of the story, you will most likely be misled. "
Speaking up to here, Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Especially when you are the future Emperor of the Great Xia. You must have your own judgment. If you believe someone casually says something, then you will. In the end, you will most likely be misled and even led to accomplish the other party's goal, while you will be reduced to a knife in their hands. "
Du Ye said, "I've learned something."
This time, Du Ye was completely convinced. He didn't expect that such a small matter also had a knack for it.
Du Ye continued, "Father, what other mistakes did I make?"
Du Qi said, "The first step you need to do is to investigate and understand the situation clearly. But after the investigation, you can confirm that there will definitely be heavy rain. That will be the process of carrying out the plan. But the execution of the plan is also very important. You can't be careless in the slightest. "
"You said to pay from the county office and collect money from the Xu family. Do you know how much money the county office has now? Do you know if the head of the Xu family is willing to pay? "
"If the county yamen has the money and the Xu family is willing to fork out the money, everyone will be happy and there won't be a problem. But if the Xu family doesn't pay, and even the county yamen doesn't have the money, how are you going to recruit people? "
Du Qi said, "You can't just consider the best outcome. You have to consider the worst outcome and plan for the worst. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous if you can't deal with it in time. "
Du Ye thought about it carefully. When it came to the issue of money, he had indeed brought it up as a matter of course. However, he had never considered whether he could provide disaster relief or whether he had the money.
Du Ye said, "Father, you've considered everything. It's your son who hasn't."
At this moment, Du Ye was even somewhat listless.
He hadn't expected that such a simple matter would be so complicated after he had made the arrangements.
He actually had so many loopholes.
Du Qi continued, "Third, you just said that you were recruiting people to dig ditches and build embankments. Naturally, there was nothing wrong with this starting point. The problem is, do you know how to excavate it? Do you know what the local market price is? If you don't know, you can just ask people to do it. Then, no matter how much money you have, it will become a bottomless pit and you won't be able to build it. "
"If you use the method of enlisting corvee labor to recruit people to do work, it will save you a lot of trouble. But since the establishment of Xia Xia, corvee labor has been abolished. It's impossible to enlist corvee labor for free. You have to pay people to do work. "
"So, it's inevitable that you will have to pay."
"You have to pay people to do work."
"But how much money is involved and how much each person's wage is involved. You have to know how to set the price and how to arrange it. This is the whole plan you have to make. Otherwise, you may be cheated again and your wage will be raised. "
Du Qi said, "So, this point involves you need to go to the place and understand the local labor price. Then, you have to arrange everything according to the money you get and make a good budget. The more prepared you are, the less likely you will have problems. On the other hand, the less prepared you are, the more problems you will have when the time comes. "
Du Ye couldn't help but scratch his head.
There were too many problems.
This was another big problem.
Du Qi looked at Du Ye and said with a smile, "What's the matter? You heard my words and realized there are so many loopholes, so you're starting to back out? You can't complete this matter anymore?"
Du Ye heard this and became spirited. He shook his head and said, "Of course not, Father. You misunderstood me. I can't give up on this matter halfway. So, Father, you don't have to worry about me. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "That's more like it."
Du Ye continued, "Father, are there any other loopholes?"
"Of course there are!"
Du Qi nodded and answered.
Du Ye took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. There was a touch of stubbornness on his slightly immature face. He said again, "Father, are there any other problems?"
Du Qi continued, "You have solved many of the problems I mentioned just now and weighed everything properly. You've even learned about the Xu Clan's situation and received money from them. You've also cleaned up the canals and rivers in Jiangyin County. However, you only considered the situation in Jiangyin County and didn't consider the surrounding situation. "
"Rain is not a matter of one place."
"Especially a rainstorm, which involves many places. There will definitely be a rainstorm in the surrounding counties of Jiangyin County. When the time comes, you will have dealt with it properly within your borders, but not in the surrounding counties. Of course, it won't be a problem if the surrounding counties have already made preparations. But what if the surrounding counties don't deal with it and something happens during the rainstorm? "
"Then, how will you deal with it?"
Du Qi said, "You should think more about the areas that intersect with the counties, especially the main waterways and the main lake areas so that you can make it easier to deal with it. When the time comes, even if it affects Jiangyin County, you don't have to worry. You can deal with it easily. "
"Phew!!!"
Du Ye let out a long sigh after hearing this.
Amazing!
At this moment, although Du Ye was vexed at his lack of ability, he was more amazed and amazed. He said with emotion, "Father, you're really amazing. You've considered all aspects of this matter. If your son had your wisdom, it would be much easier to deal with these things. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "Take it slow. You can achieve it."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "In fact, the problems that I've considered may not be considered thoroughly. There are definitely many things that I haven't considered. Because many things will only happen at the last minute when it's time to do it. For example, it started to rain heavily halfway through the construction of the river embankment. The heavens want to make trouble, or other unexpected events. So, all these things are unpredictable. However, your plan must be well thought out and considered as many aspects as possible. "
Du Ye nodded and said, "Father, don't worry. Your son understands."
Du Qi said, "Since you understand, then you have something very important to do next. I'll give you one day to complete the entire plan. For a comprehensive plan, the more detailed, the better. Then, you'll start to deal with this matter step by step. Your father will stay by your side and help you deal with things. "
Du Ye said, "Okay. Your son will go and make the plan. Finish it as soon as possible."
Du Qi waved his hand.
After Du Ye left, Du Qi was also thinking about the possibility of a rainstorm. He immediately called the attendant next to him and was about to instruct the Jiangnan Circuit's Chief to pay attention to this matter. But after giving the order, Du Qi finally took back the order. Although he saw this matter, it didn't mean that the Jiangnan Circuit's Chief didn't know about it. Perhaps the Jiangnan Circuit's Chief had also considered it.
Du Qi shouldn't interfere too much in local governance.
If he interfered at will when there was no problem, it would be easy to constrain the local officials. It would be easy to draw legs on a snake.
