"Send my ass! Didn't you see that Chu Xuanchen stopped the flood? Hurry up and burn those two memorials! "Zhang Shifan said angrily.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Lord Zhang, Wang said before that Wang had already made arrangements for the flood control. Wang has always told you not to act rashly. Why didn't you listen to Wang's orders last night? Why did you privately mobilize soldiers to move the citizens away? Why did you torment them and cause them to panic and complain? "At this moment, Chu Xuanchen had already walked over to Zhang Shifan.
When Zhang Shifan heard this, his expression froze. "This official only moved them away because I felt sorry for the citizens and wanted to protect them. This official's motive was for the good of the citizens."
"Wang, I heard that you even sent soldiers to spread rumors among the citizens to frame Wang and tarnish Wang's reputation?" Chu Xuanchen said gravely.
"Your Highness, you're wrong! This official can't control the mouths of others. This official can't control them. Your Highness, you're the one who isn't popular and caused the citizens to be angry. This official has nothing to do with it! "Zhang Shifan harrumphed coldly.
Chen Xi hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Your Highness, those words weren't said by Lord Zhang. Your Highness, you didn't do anything last night. That's why the citizens were suspicious and suspected you. Fortunately, the truth has come to light today. The citizens already know that Your Highness is someone who serves the country and the people. No one will misunderstand Your Highness anymore. "
Mo Li said, "Lord Zhang is right. This mouth is on someone's body. No one can control it. Lord Zhang has tormented the citizens like this. Now, please, Lord Zhang, enjoy the citizens' storm! "
Every dog had its day. Now, it was the citizens' turn to scold Zhang Shifan.
Zhang Shifan was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices. However, he couldn't find anything to refute Mo Li. He could only harrumph coldly and leave angrily with his men.

Next, Chu Xuanchen brought Yun Ruoyue to inspect the ponds.
After Yun Ruoyue finished, she said, "Your Highness, the ponds have already done their job. We still have to send people to build a dam and reinforce the river. Only by combining this wall with the drainage can we truly control the flood. "
"Alright, Wang will send people to speed up the construction of the river embankment. The flood in Jiangzhou has been controlled. Are the other cities downstream treated in the same way? "Chu Xuanchen asked.
After all, Jiangnan was very big. It was not enough to just govern one city in Jiangzhou. They had to control the flood in the entire Jiangnan to save more people.
Yun Ruoyue said, "Yes, the other cities downstream can also be governed using this method. They had to connect the water systems of all the cities to form a drainage system. They had to stagger the flow of the flood and slowly melt the cities one by one. For example, if Jiang Prefecture was allowed to release water today, Qing Prefecture would release water tomorrow. Then, these ponds would be dug deeper to form a continuous flow of water, increasing the capacity of the ponds to store water. This water can also be used to raise fish and irrigate crops. Jiangnan was originally a land of fish and rice. After controlling the flood, we can lead the people to become rich. "
"Alright, Wang, I'll pass down the order now. Tell the officials at all levels to treat the flood according to Jiangzhou's model," Chu Xuanchen said.

After Chu Xuanchen returned to the magistrate's office, he saw Yang Shixun and Yu Wenxian with a few officials waiting for him in the courtyard.
When they saw him walk in, they hurried forward and bowed to him, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"You came to see Wang. Is there something important?" Chu Xuanchen looked at them in confusion.
Yang Shixun looked around. When he saw that no one was watching them, he hurriedly said, "Your … Your Highness, this … this official has something that I want to give … give to you."
"This official wants to give it to you too," Yu Wenxian and the others said.
