Although it rained heavily for several days, the official road was not so damaged that even the carriage could not move.

Because the official road was paved with bluestone slabs, although several inches of water accumulated on it, it did not affect the passage of carriages.

After a shaky journey, the group arrived at the inlet where Poyang Lake connects with the Yangtze River.

The water level of the Yangtze River has skyrocketed, which naturally caused the water level of Poyang Lake to rise sharply, causing rough and scary waves.

Fortunately, this is not the Yangtze River after all, and the magnitude of the waves is not as large as in the Yangtze River.

Yan Dashan found a big boat, crossed the entrance of Poyang Lake without any danger, and arrived at the garrison town of Hukou where the Poyang Prince's Palace was located.

A greeting card was sent at the gate of the palace. Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan and Yan Dashan were brought into the palace by a family general. The state soldiers who followed Zhu Xiuyuan were waiting elsewhere.

The front hall of the palace.

Zhu Xiuyuan followed the general into the front hall. At a glance, he saw a man standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, his back to Zhu Xiuyuan and others.

This person is the steward of the palace.

Zhu Xiuyuan is already very familiar with it.

So Zhu Xiuyuan took two steps forward, bowed his hands and said, "Housekeeper, I'm your subordinate, Zhu Xiuyuan, and I've taken the liberty of paying you a visit."

Yan Dashan did not enter the living room, but waited in the corridor outside.

The steward of the palace slowly turned around. After seeing Zhu Xiuyuan, a signature smile appeared on his face, and asked: "Mr. Zhu, you must be very busy now. How come you have time to come to the palace?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for Zhu Xiuyuan to sit down on the guest chair.

After Zhu Xiuyuan sat down, the palace steward ordered his servants to serve tea. He sat next to Zhu Xiuyuan, with a small coffee table in the middle.

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan sat down, after listening to the question from the palace steward, he immediately stood up again: "Steward, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but I came here to ask for help." Zhu Xiuyuan paused and added: "

Time is tight, so it would be rude to visit without permission."

The palace steward laughed and said: "You're welcome, Mr. Zhu, I like your cheerful character..."

At this time, a servant from the palace came over carrying a tray with two teacups placed firmly on it.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a chance glance and saw that this servant of the royal palace was exceptionally beautiful.

At first glance, she looks like a fairy in the dust, especially her temperament, which is very similar to that of later generations... Miss etiquette!

Are the maids in the palace also so beautiful?

Zhu Xiuyuan was slightly distracted, thinking that this palace was really a trench!

The palace steward saw Zhu Xiuyuan's absence and smiled: "Mr. Zhu, this is the Yangzhou thin horse that I got from that house yesterday...Mr. Zhu, do you regret it? Haha."

"Your Majesty... I wonder what the steward means by this?"

"Yesterday I asked you to pick two, but you didn't. Now you see how good-looking the person is, do you regret it?" The palace steward smiled and looked sideways at Zhu Xiuyuan.

Zhu Xiuyuan laughed dryly and did not explain, lest the description would become darker.

He pursed his lips and abruptly changed the subject: "Butler, this official is here to visit..."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhu, if you have anything to do, you might as well tell me."

"It would be presumptuous for me to lower my rank." Zhu Xiuyuan bowed first, and then said, "My rank would like to borrow a few people from your mansion to help strengthen the river embankment."

"We have dispatched all the government officials, recruited all the civilians we could recruit, and also recruited a large number of young people from the victims. However, the number of people is still too small for building river embankments."

The smile on the face of the palace steward gradually faded, and he nodded and said: "Well, strengthening the river embankment is a big deal, so I agree to this."

Zhu Xiuyuan was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, steward! Steward, there is no further delay. I will prepare to go back now."

Unexpectedly, the palace steward waved his hand and stopped Zhu Xiuyuan. When Zhu Xiuyuan was confused, the palace steward asked: "When you came here, how was the water at the entrance of Poyang Lake?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned and said blankly: "The current is turbulent. Although it is not as fast as the Yangtze River, it is also very dangerous to sail."

The palace steward frowned and fell into a state of thought, which made Zhu Xiu not move away or stay away, so he could only stand there and stare at him stupidly.

"Master Zhu, please don't leave in a hurry." The palace steward finally spoke, but Zhu Xiuyuan was even more confused.

"The sudden rise in water levels in the Yangtze River will not only affect Jiangzhou City, but also be a threat to our Poyang Palace."

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he asked: "So what is the housekeeper... going to do?"

"While boats can still be sailed at the entrance of Poyang Lake, I decided to move the entire palace to Jiangzhou City."

Zhu Xiuyuan opened his mouth, and finally had to say: "This is a wonderful move by the housekeeper!"

…

The vigorous migration of the Poyang Palace began.

I wish Xiuyuan to follow the crowd.

This time, his eyes were opened, and he saw what execution was and what orders and prohibitions were.

The generals of the prince's palace were like mindless robots... The Poyang prince's palace moved all of them to Jiangzhou city within two hours.

Zhu Xiuyuan witnessed the whole process and was extremely envious. In the end, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "It would be great if I also had such a team of generals..."

Yan Dashan, who was behind him, naturally heard his whisper. Yan Dashan's bright eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly rubbed his hands...

Given the wealth and power of the Poyang Prince's Palace, it is naturally impossible for there to be one or two properties in Jiangzhou City.

In fact, Prince Poyang had three or four villas in Jiangzhou City, and this time the palace steward chose the largest one to stay in.

The entire Poyang Palace moved to Jiangzhou City, which naturally caused a sensation.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan had already led the 400 generals from the Poyang Prince's Palace to join the army in strengthening the river embankment. Zhu Xiuyuan had no idea how crowded the Poyang Prince's Courtyard was.

King Poyang led his troops on an expedition, leaving five hundred generals to garrison the palace.

Zhu Xiuyuan took away 400 generals, and there were still 100 generals left in the palace, which was enough...

With the addition of these 400 people, there were finally enough manpower to reinforce and build the river embankment.

…

Today, Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan were mainly supervising the reinforcement and construction of river embankments. They did not even have time to take care of gathering the victims, leaving it to a military officer with full authority.

But they didn't know that a rare plague was breaking out in a remote village far away from Jiangzhou City!

Before the flood crisis has passed its most difficult moment, a plague that is far more domineering than the flood has taken shape, waiting for an opportunity in the distance, like a devil, ready to swallow up the entire Jiangzhou.

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan were so busy that they couldn't care about the plague at all, and they couldn't spare any manpower to investigate the matter. In other words, they didn't think about it at all...

But the only person who knew that the plague had broken out chose to conceal the news and make selfish preparations secretly.
