There was uncontrollable ecstasy on Chen Tao's face. In the more than ten years since he wrote the flood control strategy, he has seen the Yellow River burst its banks in Shandong countless times, but there has never been any precedent of blocking it during the flood season.

It is often necessary to wait until the dry season before sealing and remedying the problem. After half a year of soaking, people's fields and crops have been left with no harvest and the people have no way to make a living.

It can be said that Shen Yichen created the history of water control in Shandong!

"Qian Xian, this official has truly realized that everything depends on human effort."

Jiang Pei's face was full of emotion. After the breach in Zhangqiu Town last year, he followed the arriving chief envoy Hong Ying to seal the breach.

Compared with the scenes of the past few days, the blocking project at that time can be described as a piece of chicken feathers. Even if there were no attacks, the water control would not be successful.

Jiang Pei once believed that the breach was destined to be beyond the reach of man, but now everything has overturned his understanding.

"Don't be too happy too early. The peak of the flood has not yet come, and the entire Shawan embankment needs to be reinforced."

Shen Yichen was not as shocked as his subordinates. After all, this kind of confrontation would be nothing in the eyes of future generations.

He is even more worried about whether the current situation of Shawan Levee will be a microcosm of the hundreds of miles of Yellow River embankments in Shandong.

"The official will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the embankment to ensure that the embankment breach will never happen again!"

Hearing Chen Tao's words, Shen Yichen nodded and replied: "The river construction materials transported by Jiangnan merchants will soon be delivered to Zhangqiu Town. There is no need to worry about a shortage of materials for strengthening the river embankments."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yichen felt an endless sense of exhaustion coming over him. In order to seal the breach in the past few days, he barely slept a wink.

"Master Chen, I will leave the river embankment under your care for the time being. I will go down first."

"Please rest assured, Qian Xian, I will ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Shen Yichen retreated down the river embankment. On the other side, in the Fengtian Hall of the imperial court, Zhu Qizhen was listening to the memorials from the chief secretaries of various places on the flood disaster.

This major flood occurred earlier than in previous years, not only in Shandong where Shen Yichen came out of town, but also in Henan and Hebei, and even in the two lakes and Huaiyang areas in the south, large-scale flood dangers occurred.

Zhu Qizhen's face was extremely gloomy when he heard these reports from the local officials. He clearly worked hard to govern and was not a debauched and unscrupulous king. Why had there been so many natural disasters during his reign?

With this kind of injustice, Zhu Qizhen interrupted the report from the Minister of Industry and asked: "How is the flood disaster in Shandong? Will there be a report on the disaster this year?"

Zhu Qizhen's sudden inquiry stunned the Minister of Industry for a moment. The Chief Secretary of Shandong, who would always go to the hospital to report the disaster situation in previous years, seemed to have not said anything about the disaster this year.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Chief Secretary of Shandong has not reported the disaster situation yet, but according to the recent report of Chief Envoy Hong Fantai, it seems that there has been no flood in Shandong this year."
