"Your Highness, we know how miserable those people's lives are. We'll help them if we can, but you can't kill us just because of a few lives. We've been building the dam year after year, and there's a chance we'll lose lives too."
"Yes, we are unwilling to retreat because it means our families can be saved. Are those few people the only ones who are special? If that's the case, we must go before His Majesty and ask for clarification!"
However, the people soon found themselves in a dead end.
It was only for a moment that they could figure it out, as so many years had already passed.
Besides, he had been brainwashed for a long time, so how could he possibly figure out the reason?
"But if you look back fifteen years, you didn't have to build a dam every year! You didn't have problems with the dam every year! That means it's well built. At least it won't put you in danger every year."
Sheng Mingyu pushed the time out again, and any elderly person would understand it.
Although we don’t know whether those old people are still alive, the younger generations in the family should have heard their chatter more or less.
"Really? I remember my father told me about this, but he died too young, so I don't know if it's true or not."
"Yes! I remember that when I was young, my father didn't go out to work every year. Why should my generation go out every year when it's our turn? If His Royal Highness didn't mention it, I would have ignored this issue."
He could even tell me the year.
The people thought about it for a long time and found the problem.
In fact, many of the people are middle-aged and young people, and they still vaguely remember their childhood.
"Then, Your Highness, could you please tell us why? This is a decision made by the imperial court, not by us, the people."
These people will not be deceived by Sheng Mingyu in just a few words. Even if they don't want to practice, they must have a legitimate reason.
And after being traumatized by their childhood memories, these people were also curious as to why the Jiangnan Dam is so fragile now?
"Could it be that the court took too much money, or allocated too little, which is why the Jiangnan Dam needs to be repaired every year? This isn't our problem at all, it's the court's problem."
"Yes! I think so too. Every year I spend a lot of effort and materials, but I still have to repair it every year. How can it be a problem for the people?"
The people below were talking about it and brought the issue back to the court.
The Imperial Master's expression changed drastically. Sheng Mingyu was so bold that he actually dared to bring the matter onto His Majesty.
"Everyone is worrying too much. Of course, it's not Your Majesty's fault, but the blueprints haven't been put to their full potential. This prince came here today to ensure that they are put to their full potential. Please rest assured."
What Sheng Mingyu said next reassured the Imperial Master.
As long as he doesn't reveal the royal secrets, it's fine. Otherwise, His Majesty will be angry and he won't get any benefit.
"Phew! I was so scared! I thought this kid was so brave! Luckily he still has some principles in mind, otherwise I would have lost my life."
"Don't worry, when has he ever done anything without consideration?"
Gu Yunni had a satisfied smile on her face.
She has also been thinking about how to tell this matter to the people?
Fortunately, Sheng Mingyu thought of a reasonable excuse, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with.
"this……"
"That means this is a question for you gentlemen. What exactly does Your Highness intend to do? Will you carry out extensive repairs this year? Or is it better not to do any repairs at all, as you said before?"
A few people understood what Sheng Mingyu meant and looked embarrassed.
Even if they knew that there were problems in the court, they did not dare to keep talking about it and could only say something else.
"Of course, we need to carry out extensive repairs. I may have to trouble you again this year, but things will be better next year. This prince will report to His Majesty, and we will rest next year."
Sheng Mingyu is determined to win.
Looking at the people in front of him, he didn't worry at all. As long as they had brains, they would agree.
Sure enough, the people below gathered together to discuss, and soon they came to a conclusion.
"Since His Majesty has made his decision and we are powerless to change it, we will follow your advice. If the dam is unstable next year, Your Majesty, please keep us in mind and do not abandon the people of Jiangnan."
"Right! At worst, I'll be tired for one year, which is better than being tired every year."
The people rolled up their sleeves and cheered themselves up.
Every year, brothers die in the dam, which is a heartbreaking thing for them. It would be good if they could solve the problem together.
The people were quite obedient. After hearing Sheng Mingyu's handling of the matter, they stopped making trouble and chose to leave.
As long as the court is willing to do practical things, they can tolerate anything.
"You've already figured out what to do, so when will you act? Is there a precise time? You should get His Majesty's permission, otherwise His Majesty won't be able to cover you if you get back."
Everyone stepped back, and then Gu Yunni and others came forward.
"Of course I have to tell you. It's estimated to take another half month before construction can begin. Even if we send a pigeon, it's unlikely that we'll get back any information in a few days. But the only good news is that we just caught a lot of undercover agents. I have to tell His Majesty about this as well."
Sheng Mingyu nodded. He had already planned everything.
The only people who need to be convinced are the people. Once this hurdle is passed, it will be natural to take action.
"I wonder what their expressions would be when they knew that the people they had worked so hard to place were easily removed by this prince. Thinking of making money in Jiangnan forever is just a dream."
He laughed sarcastically.
This time I came to Jiangnan, and some hidden dangers were resolved.
It will be much quieter here from now on. As long as the governor guards it well, no accidents will happen.
"I think they'll vomit blood, right? I see those guys have completely integrated into the team. I'm afraid they've lived here for quite a few years. That's a big project."
When talking about this, Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master were both very impressed.
Sheng Mingyu is indeed more experienced in dealing with this kind of problem and can eliminate all hidden dangers.
"Yeah! You're really smart. You're thinking of solving the problem from the root. If it were me, I really wouldn't be able to use such a heavy-handed approach."
He smiled faintly and shook his head. "Let's go. The basic details have been sorted out. We'll just wait for His Majesty's notification. Don't we still have to deal with the little ghost? You two should handle this first. Don't worry about the dam all the time."
Sheng Mingyu returned home and rested for a whole day.
He has been really exhausted these days because of the dam.
Now that he finally has some time, he wants to lie down and have a good rest.
"You've left the little brats hanging for days. What are you thinking? Aren't you afraid they'll come and cause trouble? I was thinking I'd help you solve it on the first day I arrived."
The Imperial Master has been anxious these days. He had already asked the Governor how Gu Yunni solved the problem that day.
If we don't take action now, those little devils will definitely come and cause trouble again.
