In the summer of the 43rd year of Chengxuan, there was heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which lasted for several months and eventually caused floods.

But as early as the beginning of summer in the south of the Yangtze River, Wei Heng and Rong Chen, who knew early in the morning that such a thing would happen in the coming year, had already made preparations.

In the autumn of the previous year during this period, Wei Heng and Rong Chen, based on the conclusions they finally came to after going to Jiangnan in their previous lives, misappropriated the money from the people in Jiangnan who had embezzled the money allocated by the imperial court to build dams and divert flood channels. The officials solved it bit by bit.

After that, many people with both ability and political integrity were recruited, and they helped and rectified in secret. Therefore, in the previous life, the dam collapsed due to floods and caused countless casualties, but this time, it did not happen.

In addition, Wei Heng and Rong Chen's insinuating reminders and their constant follow-up of Jiangnan's situation prevented this disaster.

When the flood in the south of the Yangtze River spread to Yanjing, the situation had already been brought under control, and it was just a formality.

Wei Heng originally thought that there was no need to go to Jiangnan in person this time, but what he didn't expect was that something happened to Jiangnan.

The dam that was ordered to be reinforced and rebuilt last year collapsed again in full view.

At that time, due to the negligence of Jiangnan officials, there was no time to transfer the crowd, and there were not a few people who died because of this.

So the front foot just sent several memorials from Jiangnan, and then the next day, another urgent memorial was delivered.

The emperor, who was originally gentle and pleasant, suddenly became furious. Just like in his previous life, Wei Heng and Rong Chen were once again sent to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, and by the way, they found out what was going on.

When Wei Heng heard the news, his expression became more and more unclear, his eyes were full of surprise, and his mood fell instantly.

The porcelain cup that Wei Heng was holding tightly in his hand was suddenly crushed, and the pieces of porcelain were embedded in his fingers, and the blood mixed with the tea dripped down, leaving the ground in a mess.

Wei Yi quickly handed over the silk handkerchief, Wei Heng took it and wiped it, closing his eyes and falling into deep thought.

What is going on?

He obviously made the batch of materials for strengthening the dam under the watchful eyes of others, so how could there be any accidents.

Wei Heng couldn't figure it out, so he remained silent without saying a word.After a long silence, Wei Heng asked Wei Yi to step back and gave orders.

"Get ready, leave for Jiangnan tomorrow."

So far, no worries.

Since this is the case now, then just take another trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

But Yanjing really needs someone to watch it.

Erwei defender Heng only took two-thirds of the people to Jiangnan, leaving one-third of the people in Yanjing.At the same time, Ji Yuzhi was left behind to watch over the situation.

On the way to Jiangnan, Wei Heng and Rong Chen only rushed at the fastest speed along the way.

Ever since, it only took the two of them five days to rush to this place in the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as Wei Heng and Rong Chen arrived in Jiangnan, they acted according to the pre-arranged tasks.

Wei Heng rushed to the scene of the dam collapse to check the situation, while Rong Chen sent relief food to various places to comfort him.

When Wei Heng rushed to the scene where the embankment collapsed, he saw a mess as far as he could see.

There are collapsed houses and debris of dams everywhere. After being washed by the flood, the traces of water erosion can be clearly seen. At the same time, these debris are mixed with a lot of weeds, stones, sand, soil and other particles.

At that time, the government only hurriedly resettled the surviving people, and the dead bodies were also disposed of later.

After these things were arranged, the local governor received Wei Heng's happiness again, so he sealed off the place, and only waited for the thief to check the situation.
