Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 133

The three princes had been away from the capital for half a year. When they left, they were commoners and had not made any achievements. After arriving at the places they were in charge of, they naturally worked hard and wanted to make some achievements.

The second prince Zhao Shang went to Gusu. He originally wanted to start from the Yinqie Village of the Ministry of War and get involved in the work of the Yinyin Division. His original intention was good. He wanted to work for the Yinyin Division and help it do a better job in Gusu Prefecture, but this matter was not as simple as he thought. Somehow, he stopped working for the Yinyin Division. Now, the memorial he submitted was about him leading troops to eliminate a group of water bandits.

The fourth prince Zhao Jing went to Jizhou. The lower reaches of the Yellow River run through Jizhou. Every year when floods occur, Jizhou becomes a vast ocean and the people are displaced. Zhao Jing found skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to reinforce the dikes in Jizhou.

The fifth prince Zhao Ji went to Liangzhou. Gusu Prefecture was a prosperous and wealthy place, but fortunately there were still some pirates occasionally causing trouble, which could be used to make a fuss; Jizhou was a place where the Yellow River must pass, so as long as the embankment was strengthened, it could be written as a merit. Liangzhou was different.

Liangzhou is located in the Central Plains, and the people are rich and well-off. There have been no natural disasters or major disasters since ancient times. The fifth prince Zhao Ji racked his brains and listened to the advice of his staff to start with the administration of officials. Although the effect was not obvious, it was far-reaching and painstaking, and he tried harder than Zhao Shang and Zhao Jing.
