My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 167 Drought kills drought, waterlogging kills

Not long after, Zhao Jinghua walked out of the carriage slowly in a silver-white suit. He had taken off his mask. His face was pale to begin with. His long silver hair and silver-white suit made him look handsome and fragile. Wan Sutong stared at him in amazement. She raised her hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth and then giggled, "So beautiful!"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled helplessly after hearing this, "Madam, are you still going to Wujin Country?"

Wan Sutong nodded repeatedly but did not take her eyes away from Zhao Jinghua. "Of course I will go!"

Zhao Jinghua lowered his head and smiled, then looked at the driver and said, "You go back first. Su Tong and I have something to do." Then he put on the mask again.

The driver thought of Zhao Jinghua's serious injury and looked at him worriedly. After a moment, he pulled the reins and said, "Go!" Soon the carriage was out of their sight.

Zhao Jinghua brought Wan Sutong to an empty alley, and then transformed a plum blossom into something and handed it to Wan Sutong.

Wan Sutong took the plum blossom and was about to silently recite Wu Yisa, then immediately looked at 0533 "What is my brother doing?"

0533 When the screen was opened, Wu Yisa was looking at the memorial in his hand with a frown on his face. Seeing this, Wan Sutong whispered, "Brother, get ready. I'm coming over."

Wu Yisa's face was full of joy after hearing this. "You have arrived in Wujin Country?"

Wan Sutong shook his head and then laughed, "No, but I will flash, just wait for me!"

Wu Yisa sighed with a look of disappointment and walked to the window. "I guess he is making fun of me again."

At this moment, Wan Sutong picked up the plum blossom and subconsciously thought of Feng Ming. The next moment, the two of them appeared in Feng Ming's carriage. Feng Ming looked at Wan Sutong excitedly, "Oh! Why did you think of looking for me?"

Wan Sutong looked at Feng Ming in front of her, then smiled awkwardly, "Um... I said I found the wrong person, do you believe me, brother?" Then she shook Zhao Jinghua's sleeve and said aggrievedly, "I subconsciously thought of this brother."

When Feng Ming heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, his whole face fell, and he whispered "Get lost"

"Hehehehe" Wan Sutong once again took the plum blossom handed to her by Zhao Jinghua and left Feng Ming's carriage

When Wan Sutong opened his eyes again, he hugged Wu Yisa who was standing by the window. "Brother! I missed you." Wu Yisa was startled by the sudden hug. Just as he was about to take out his sword, he reacted immediately. He turned around incredibly quickly and hugged Wan Sutong back. "Tongtong! You can really flash!"

Wan Sutong nodded and looked at Wu Yisa with a wronged look on her face, "I just found the wrong person, and then you scolded me and told me to get out."

Wu Yisa heard this and smiled heartily, "You deserve it."

Wan Sutong crossed her arms and snorted in dissatisfaction. At this time, Wu Yisa saw Zhao Jinghua standing beside her. Then she narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Jinghua, "Tongtong, who is he?"

Wan Sutong raised her chin proudly when she heard this, patted her chest and said, "My husband." Then she tilted her head towards Zhao Jinghua and said, "Call someone."

Zhao Jinghua was a little confused after hearing this and wanted to hear Wan Sutong's thoughts. However, Wan Sutong was just laughing in his heart at this time. Zhao Jinghua had no choice but to bow and say "Uncle".

Upon hearing this, Wu Yisa stepped forward and hugged Zhao Jinghua, "Hey! Brother Jing! Uncle thought you were dead!"

After hearing this, Wan Sutong held his forehead in silence and thought to himself, "I didn't ask you to come and recognize your relatives! I wanted you to call him brother, but you gave me an uncle, and he actually called you brother."

0533 After hearing Wan Sutong's inner voice, he chuckled, "This generation is a bit confusing!"

Wu Yisa let go of Zhao Jinghua awkwardly after hearing what 0533 said. "It doesn't matter whether the seniority is wrong or not, it's just that you came at the right time. I have a memorial and I don't know how to deal with it. I know no one likes to deal with memorials, but brother Jing, just help me once!" Wu Yisa seemed to have thought of something and said, "Do you know the words of Wujinguo? How about I read them to you?"

After hearing this, Zhao Jinghua raised his hand to his forehead and sighed after a moment. After seeing this, Wan Sutong kept laughing, "Hehehehehe, Jinghua, just help my brother. After all, you are experienced."

Zhao Jinghua nodded helplessly and followed Wu Yisa to the desk. Wu Yisa quickly found the one that made him most worried from among the numerous memorials and handed it to Zhao Jinghua.

Zhao Jinghua took the memorial, opened it, and read it for a moment before frowning slightly. "Has this city ever suffered from locusts or drought in previous years?"

Wu Yisa nodded with a melancholy face. "There have been droughts and locust plagues for years. I have been there and there was almost no harvest. The prefect in the city said that we could dig a ditch from the city to the north, but I wonder if it is feasible." After that, he handed Zhao Jinghua a sheepskin map.

Zhao Jinghua put the memorial on the table and took the map. He saw that there was indeed a big river in the city to the north of this city. It was indeed a good decision to dig a ditch. "How is the rain water in the surrounding cities?"

Wu Yisa was even more melancholy after hearing this. "That's the problem. To the north of this city, Pingyuan City has suffered from floods for years and no crops have been harvested. But the land belongs to Zhao State, and to the south of this city, locust plagues often plague it."

0533 After hearing this, he burst out laughing, "It's really true that those who are drought-stricken will die of drought, and those who are flood-stricken will die of flood."

Zhao Jinghua looked at the map and shook his head. "If ditches were built, the city would solve the locusts and drought, but it would also be flooded. This is what happened to Fuhu City in Zhao State. The dam had to be reinforced every three years. Later, the water level increased and was afraid that it would affect the capital, so they had no choice but to divert the water to the east of Fuhu City, flooding three cities and eighteen villages."

Wan Sutong covered her mouth in disbelief, and at the same time felt the insignificance of human beings in the face of floods. "Which three cities are they?"

0533 sighed heavily. "It is today's Dingzhou City, Yangzhou City, and Jiangling City. Originally, these three cities were all mountains, but when the water was released, the mountain of Jiangling City was preserved, and a big river became under the mountain. Dingzhou City and Jiangling City were basins. After the flood, only a mountain top was left for the two cities. Fortunately, the mountain top is not small, and it is still big enough to build a city."

Wu Yisa and Wan Sutong frowned after hearing this, "What about the people?"

Zhao Jinghua looked at the map in his hand and chuckled helplessly, "How can we just ignore it? Of course we should relocate them to various cities and properly resettle them."

Wu Yisa sighed heavily after hearing this, "So this method is not advisable?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and did not make a choice for Wu Yisa. Instead, he told him what might happen. "The city to the north of this city is called Jinzhou City in Zhao State. I have been to Jinzhou City. The people living at the foot of the mountain have already moved away. The water level will still rise after the rain. If you really want to dig this ditch, you need to build a dam and dig a reservoir. Although it requires countless silver, it is not impossible. Correspondingly, you are helping Zhao State in disguise but harming yourself. Not only will you bear the infamy, but the surrounding cities will still be submerged one day."

0533 nodded in agreement after hearing this. Then, seeing that Wuyisa was still silent, it sighed and began to persuade him, "Jinzhou City is now the same as Fuhu City back then. Do you also want to give up the three cities like Emperor Hongyu of Zhao? Do you have the courage to take it up and let it go like Emperor Hongyu? Those are three cities!"
