Chapter 301 Dissuade

Qin He was the third number one scholar since the founding of the dynasty to win six consecutive prizes. As a mascot, his career was very smooth and he was promoted three levels in just eight years.

You must know that the Hanlin Academy is no different from other places. It is not easy to get promoted here. It is normal for some people to stay in the position of editor and editor for more than ten years.

The No. 2 and No. 3 winners on the same list as Qin He were only promoted to editor three years ago. Last year, they really couldn't bear to seek outsiders and strive to make some political achievements in the local area to pave the way for themselves to be promoted to a higher position.

In comparison, Qinhe, which has no foundation, is much smoother. As long as you don't make big mistakes, it's not a big problem to maintain the promotion level for three to five years.

However, he felt that it would be difficult to realize his ideals and ambitions in the Hanlin Academy, and he did not want to spend a lot of time here, so he did not discuss it with anyone and took the initiative to ask the Ministry of Personnel to be sent abroad.

Facing the cold face of Mr. Qin, Qin He took a deep breath and knelt on the ground: "Dad, my son studied hard in Han Chuang to change the Qin family and seek a future for himself, but now he has become greedy.

I want to benefit the people of a certain place."

Mr. Qin sensitively noticed that Yuncheng was unusual, and turned to ask Qin Xiaoxiao: "What kind of place is this?"

Qin Xiaoxiao understood what Mr. Qin meant, glanced at Qin He and said truthfully: "Yuncheng is located in the south, close to Cangjiang River. Since the founding of the dynasty, the Yuncheng section of Cangjiang City has collapsed twelve times, with the embankment breach ten years ago being the most serious.

As a result, 80,000 people died and millions were displaced..."

This major embankment breach caused shock in the government and the public. Today, he personally issued an order for disaster relief and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate 8 million taels for disaster relief, mainly to build river embankments.

But who would have thought that the newly built embankment would be so vulnerable that it would be destroyed by a minor flood in the third year, severely damaging the still-unrecovered Yuncheng.

To say that there is nothing fishy in this, even anyone in Yuncheng would not believe it.

"... The Minister of Household Affairs was confiscated a while ago, and as much as tens of millions of taels of silver were seized from his home. I think it has something to do with the Cangjiang River bursting its embankment again." Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin He and revealed his intention with one sentence.

Thought: "Uncle San chose Yuncheng because he wanted to repair the river embankment, right?"

Qin He did not expect that his niece knew so much about the situation in Yuncheng. Not only did she link the corruption case that shocked the government and the public with the collapse of the Yuncheng embankment, but she also guessed his thoughts. He was excited and ashamed at the same time.

He did not deny it, but said frankly: "The Cangjiang River has repeatedly breached its embankments, and the people of Yuncheng have suffered greatly. Even if we cannot completely prevent the Cangjiang River from bursting its embankments, we should try our best to prevent the people of Yuncheng from suffering water damage."

"Humph, is the river embankment so easy to repair?" Mr. Qin couldn't stand hearing it anymore, and said rudely: "You are a civil servant who has been in the Hanlin Academy for eight years and knows nothing about fortifications. You go to build the river embankment to fight against the scholars.

What’s the difference?”

Qin He didn't know the difficulty. He tried hard to persuade Mr. Qin: "If it doesn't work in one year, just two years. If it doesn't work in two years, just three years. We can always find a way to build a good embankment."

Before Mr. Qin could speak, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly said: "Uncle, you are not suitable."

Qin He's expression changed, but he didn't refute Qin Xiaoxiao like he did to Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoxiao, is your third uncle really incapable of doing this?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Master Qin, who has the same surname as ours, went south for five years before he investigated the corruption case from bottom to top. Building the river embankment is even more difficult than this. Third uncle really repaired the river embankment.
