十一年四月,命魯以工部尚書、緫治河防使,進秩二品,授以銀章,領河南、北諸路軍民,發汴梁、大名十有三路民一十五萬,廬州等戍十有八翼軍二萬供役,一切從事大小軍民官,咸稟節度,便宜興繕。 In the fourth month of 1351 Jia Lu was appointed minister of works and overall commissioner for river defense, advanced to second rank, and granted a silver seal. He was given command over military and civilian personnel throughout Henan and the north. From thirteen circuits including Bianliang and Daming he mobilized 150,000 civilians; from eighteen garrison wings including Luzhou he supplied 20,000 troops for labor. All officials, military and civilian, great and small, were placed under his command with discretionary authority to undertake whatever construction was required.
帝適覽臺臣奏疏,請褒脫脫治河之績,次論魯功,超拜榮祿大夫、集賢大學士,賞賚金帛,敕翰林丞旨歐陽玄製河平碑,以旌脫脫勞績,具載魯功,且宣付史館,并贈魯先臣三世。 The emperor was just then reading memorials from censorate officials commending Toghto's achievements in controlling the river. Jia Lu's merits were discussed next. He was specially promoted to Grand Master of Splendid Happiness and Grand Academician of the Hall of Worthies, rewarded with gold and silks, and ordered that Academician-Recipient Ouyang Xuan of the Hanlin Academy compose a stele commemorating the pacification of the river—honoring Toghto's labors while fully recording Jia Lu's achievements. The text was ordered proclaimed and deposited in the History Office, and honors were extended to three generations of Jia Lu's forebears.
