After the 13th year of Wanli, it entered the summer.

There is a heavy rain in Henan.

Since Premier Pan Jixu's Hecao, the system that Lin Yanchao originally suggested to him to call water measurement astronomical phenomena was restored.

The river yamen set up Yellow River flood troops, which predicts the abundant rainfall in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River this year by measuring the slight and heavy weight of water every month.

However, the result of weighing this year is that the water is heavy, no less than the time of the flood in the tenth year of Wanli!

After hearing the news, Pan Jixun immediately sent a river model to rush to inform the provinces, prefectures and counties in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, while Pan Jixun was in charge of the Gaojiayan Dam.

Gaojiayan Dam is the core of Huangdi. Once the Gaojiayan Dam collapses, the entire Huaihe River will become a country of ​​wheat.

Under Pan Jixun's repeated orders, the officials along the river did not dare to neglect, but also took up a 120,000-year spirit and began to strengthen the embankment.

However, the decay of river engineering over the years cannot be saved overnight. Officials know what they know. Repairing now may not help. They can only pray for this rare flood, and not come this year.

However, Pan Jixun clearly ordered the prefectures to guard the dike. If the military generals guard the dike, if there is any mistake in the dike, it will be like a city and a land lost. He should ask the Emperor's military law to follow it!

After Pan Jixun's document came down, officials from all over the place were immediately scared.

They knew that Pan Jixun was different from Li Zihua, but they came to be real.

But it is said that Guide Mansion.

Before Pan Jixun’s document was issued, Guide Mansion was the Daxing River Engineering every February.

While the prefectures along the river were lazy, Guide Prefecture had already begun to strengthen the Yellow River embankment early, build the Jialu River embankment, and build stone embankments at dangerous work sites in each river channel, or add moon embankments.

After Pan Jixun's document came down, Lin Yanchao knew that the river situation might be very serious this year, even exceeding the flood in the tenth year of Wanli, so he allocated another 20,000 taels of silver to the River Engineering Bureau.

Although he invested a lot in river engineering, Lin Yanchao dared not say that the entire Guide dike was as solid as a rock.

After he was demoted at the end of the tenth year of Wanli, the river situation he experienced last year, namely the eleventh year of Wanli and the twelfth year of Wanli, was the normal level in the past, and even worse.

As for many prefectures along the river in the past two years, there have been dams and fields flooding, not because the water is strong, but because the river work is a mess.

The dam of Guide Mansion did not make any mistakes, proving that it could withstand ordinary floods, but if there were another water situation where dozens of counties were flooded in the tenth year of Wanli, millions of people were homeless.

Can the Guide Mansion embankment built by Lin Yanchao be protected?

Before, he had always been the way to build dikes and the second embankment of heavy siltations, but this year Lin Yanchao began to give priority to building dikes.

So in March, Lin Yanchao was worried and personally inspected the embankments of various prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction. Although there was no major problem in inspection, the embankments of various prefectures and counties had more or less hidden dangers.

Among the counties, the only Zhe County, which was presided over by Sun Chengzong, built as solid as a soup. This has to be said to be Sun Chengzong's talent. He only had a little river work payment, but he actually built a good embankment that could protect the flood for a hundred years.

After the inspection in March, Lin Yanchao ordered all counties to continue to strengthen the embankment. Officials from all counties felt that Lin Yanchao was too rude and had never seen a dike repair like this.

Lin Yanchao's request for embankment was as much as he was nitpicking. With his wise and capableness, he immediately noticed any embankment that would be reported to him, and then ordered the officials below to rectify and limit the deadline.

In the officialdom of Guide, everyone believed that Lin Yanchao was like a stingy local rich man, and he could not see the tenants below having a moment of leisure.

Then it was not until the end of April and May that there were heavy rains in the prefectures in Shaanxi and Henan Province, and the river water soared.

The continuous rain also made Lin Yanchao worry.

On this day, Lin Yanchao was signing the house to deal with the affairs of the government. The wind was very strong outside, and thick clouds were rolling in the sky.

Lin Yanchao's case keeps handling official duties. In recent years, from Tongzhi to the current senior official, he has handled official duties for more than four hours every day. In addition, he has to use an hour to get up early to study, and the rest of his work is to accompany his family.

This has been the case every day for three years, without an exception.

At this time, the wind outside the window was blowing even harder. The window was clattering loudly, and Lin Yanchao frowned slightly. The servant knew what he meant and immediately closed the window outside.

Halfway through Lin Yanchao's official document, he suddenly put on his clothes and walked through the outer hall. Tao Wangling from the outer hall, Yuan Keli saw Lin Yanchao coming here, and thought he had some instructions and stood up together.

But Lin Yanchao walked to the door and picked up the cotton curtain to watch the wind and clouds in the sky.

Both of them didn't understand why.

Lin Yanchao pointed to the clouds in the sky and said: A few days ago, Mr. Chen Mei of Huating gave me a book titled "Cai Gen Tan". There is a saying in the book: "I am not surprised by favors and disgraces, but I see the flowers blooming and falling in the courtyard; I have no intention of staying or leaving, and I look at the clouds rolling in the sky, and I think of this very much in front of me."

Yuan Keli smiled and said, "This statement is intimately consistent with Lao Zhuang's leisurely and indifferent intentions. The teacher has always been enterprising and forging ahead, and he has always thought of this."

Tao Wangling laughed at the side: "Brother Yuan is such a bad word. You didn't hear the teacher say that, as for the scene in front of you, does the teacher say this mean to retire after success?"

Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this, and was about to speak when footsteps came from outside.

But seeing Chen Jichuan hurried in, leading an official beside him. Chen Jichuan said excitedly with his face: "Congratulations to Master, congratulations to Master."

Lin Yanchao asked, "Oh, why are you happy?"

An official beside him kowtowed to Lin Yanchao and said, "The lower-ranking officials are Xu Youtang, and they will serve as the two vassal states. Congratulations to Lin Mansion and congratulations to Lin Mansion."

Lin Yanchao laughed and said, "Why are you happy?"

Xu Youtang said loudly: "Last month, the Ministry of Personnel selected officials, and Lin Futai was the first official in the world. The emperor ordered Lin Futai to go to Beijing immediately and was given a post."

Lin Yanchao's side and left were all overjoyed when they heard this.

Tao Wangling and Yuan Keli were even more happy.

Yuan Keli almost shed tears and said, "The teacher has been doing his best for three years and has worked hard and dedicated. Now he deserves this contribution."

Tao Wangling also nodded, which was rare to agree with Yuan Keli once.

Lin Yanchao didn't like him much, because he learned the news from Shen Shixing half a month ago. However, Lin Yanchao didn't expect Shen Shixing to be the first. This is really too high-profile and too eye-catching, or is there any other reason for love?

Xu Youtang said: "Yesterday the imperial edict was already in the provincial capital. Both vassal states were very happy to hear this. This is not only the grace of the Tian family to Linfutai, but also the honor of our entire provincial officials in Henan. If it weren't for the urgent situation in the river, the two vassal states would have come to the palace to congratulate, so the officials here would congratulate Linfutai for the two vassal states."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It is true that Lin should have thanked the two vassal states. If it were not for the two vassal states' sponsors, how could Lin be appointed by the emperor?"

Xu Youtang admired Lin Yanchao so much that he was ranked first in the world in the exam. He was still so humble and indifferent, without any pride.

The two said a few more words, and Lin Yanchao said to Chen Jichuan: "Please go down and rest, and welcome the decree together in a while."

After Xu Youtang left, Tao Wangling, Yuan Keli and the entrustment office of the house, and the followers congratulated Lin Yanchao again.

Lin Yanchao smiled and was congratulated by everyone.

Yuan Keli suddenly said: "Maybe the teacher knew about his first grade in the exam, so he had the words of being calm and unstoppable."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Yes, people have highs and lows, and the same is true for officials. Therefore, I use this to remind myself that cold officials need to be hot, while hot officials need to be cold."

Tao Wangling and Yuan Keli both showed a sudden look.

At this time, Huang Yue hurriedly walked in and saw Lin Yanchao and said, "Mr. Tai, I heard that you are going to be promoted to Beijing?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yes, are you here to congratulate us too?"

Huang Yue was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Yes, I am the only one who congratulates the Mansion."

Lin Yanchao saw Huang Yue’s expression strange and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Huang Yue lowered his head and said, "Secret official, the lower official is..."

Speaking of this, Huang Yue's voice was a little choked. Lin Yanchao also sighed when he heard this. He nodded, patted Huang Yue's shoulder and said, "I have already entrusted the matter of the river comrade to He Tongzhi. Although he is not experienced enough, he can do things diligently. Please assist him well. Everything is as good as when my mansion was in the past. In this way, my mansion will be at the capital, and you can rest assured."

"Remember the officials." Huang Yue bowed a long time after hearing this, and shed tears on the ground.

Tao Wangling and Yuan Keli also bowed to Huang Yue and said, "I have been instructed by the Huangfu scriptures over the years."

Lin Yanchao nodded, and Xu Youtang said just now that there was a saying in the imperial edict that he would go to Beijing immediately, that is, after Lin Yanchao received the edict, he would have to go to Beijing, and there would be no delay for a moment.

Otherwise, in the past, officials would have at least a skill that would be different from the officials, officials and gentry, and the people below. The departing officials would instruct the people below to send some umbrellas of the people, and then they would be reluctant to leave. For example, the people would stop the officials' carriage and not let you go through this routine.

But Lin Yanchao did not have this skill.

Lin Yanchao said: "You go to the sixth room to take a look."

So Tao Wangling, Yuan Keli and other clerks came to the sixth room where Lin Yanchao was doing business together.

But I saw officials in the six rooms hurrying in and out, busy with official business.

Several big trees in the courtyard of the six-bedroom houses were rustling by the wind, and several leaves fell from the big trees to the ground.

Lin Yanchao walked past the doors of the rooms, and the officials suddenly saw the magistrate coming to inspect and all came forward. Lin Yanchao signaled that they did not have to get up to greet them and continued to do what they had.

The officials didn't know that Lin Yanchao was leaving office immediately, but saw him walking into each room one by one, talking to the officials of each room, asking a few questions about what he was doing. With his ability to remember everything, he naturally knew everything and was meticulous as before.

But when the officials couldn't answer, Lin Yanchao did not blame him as severely as before.

The officials were secretly grateful that the prefect was easy to talk to today.

Then Lin Yanchao said a few more words to several familiar officials, explained a few things, and finally stopped and looked for a while before leaving.

This is how one room and one room is inspected.

When he walked out of the last room, the gatekeeper ran over and said, "I have reported to the Mansion Terrace, and the imperial edict has arrived at the Mansion City Gate."
