County Government Residence
Murong Yu: "The flood problem has been solved, but for the long term, we still need to reinforce the dikes."
Seeing Gu Zuo looking dazed and lost in thought, they couldn't help but call out, "Lord Gu, Lord Gu..."
Hearing the shouts, Gu Zuo finally came to his senses and said excitedly, "Your Highness, a miracle has occurred in Jiangnan! I saw it with my own eyes, a truly miraculous event..."
Murong Yu: "..."
Murong Yu took a deep breath and said, "Lord Gu, let's talk about reinforcing the dikes first."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zuo suppressed his surging emotions and said earnestly, "Yes, yes, we must reinforce the dikes. I will go and make the arrangements immediately."
Seeing that he had finally returned to normal, Murong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good."
It was already dark when Mu Qing returned to the mansion. Murong Yu had the kitchen prepare some porridge, and upon seeing him return, he had it delivered to him.
Murong Yu said, "Have some hot porridge to warm yourself up," and reached out to serve Mu Qing a bowl.
The rice porridge was cooked until it was thick and soft, steaming with wisps of white vapor, and filled the air with the unique sweet aroma of rice.
Mu Qing took the porridge, whispered "Thank you," and then slowly ate it in small bites.
Murong Yu sat quietly to the side watching him. The dim light of the oil lamp illuminated the young man's handsome features. The light flickered, and the room was quiet, exuding a faint warmth.
After finishing his porridge, Mu Qing went back to his room to rest. Only after Mu Qing had rested did Murong Yu pick up his pen and continue writing the plan to reinforce the dike. By the time he returned to his room to rest, the moon was high in the sky.
Early the next morning, Murong Yu and Gu Zuo gathered people to begin reinforcing the dike. When the local people heard that the government needed manpower to reinforce the dike, they all spontaneously picked up tools and went to Qingshan Cliff to help.
Under the leadership of the Bai and Huangfu families, merchants in Jiangnan generously donated money and supplies.
Because there was plenty of money and manpower, the project, which was originally planned to take two months, was completed in just one month, and the results far exceeded expectations.
Royal Palace
Murong Zhi looked at the memorials submitted from Jiangnan and other regions. Many of them mentioned the strange phenomena in Jiangnan, expressing both gratitude to the Holy Son and admiration for him. He was deeply moved. He thought to himself, "Mu Qing really did lend a hand."
One month later
County Government Residence
Gu Zuo stood up and bowed solemnly to Murong Yu and the others, saying, "Your Highness and everyone else have worked hard during this time."
Murong Yu: "Lord Gu, you flatter me. Everyone here contributed greatly to the smooth resolution of this flood problem. When I return to the capital, I will report to His Majesty truthfully and reward those who have made contributions."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zuo and the merchants present excitedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Gu Zuo: "Would Your Highness like to stay here a little longer?"
Murong Yu: "No need. The matter has been resolved. It is inconvenient for me to stay any longer. I will set off for the capital in three days."
Murong Yu: "Alright, everyone has worked hard these past few days. Go back and get some rest."
Gu Zuo and his group respectfully replied, "Yes."
After they finished speaking, they went their separate ways.
Huangfuhua Villa
Huangfu Hua returned to the courtyard with an excited expression.
Upon seeing the people, Duan Yang said to the servant beside him, "Prepare the meal."
The servant replied, "Yes," and then withdrew, quickly bringing over the dinner.
Dinner was very light.
Huangfu Hua took a sip of the hot porridge and felt completely refreshed. His eyes sparkled as he stared at Duan Yang, hesitant to speak. Seeing his excited expression, Duan Yang asked somewhat helplessly, "What is it?"
