Chapter 136 Starting point
Due to the heavy rain, the raging river roared and rushed downstream mightily.
After running for more than an hour, Hong Lianshuo shouted, "Stop!" He tightened the reins and said, "Haha..." The horse stopped, its four hooves tapping restlessly back and forth.
Behind them, Han Qinhu and Lin Nanzheng jerked the reins and stopped.
This sudden braking caused Lin Nanzheng's mount to stand upright.
He quickly adjusted his posture and kept soothing the horse before it calmed down.
"What's going on?" Han Qinhu looked at Hong Lianshuo nervously and asked.
"The road and river embankment ahead have been washed over. Look..." Hong Lianshuo pointed to a vast expanse of ocean in the distance.
"Oh my God." Han Qinhu swallowed his saliva and said.
"Should we retreat for a moment before the water comes over us?" Lin Nanzheng said nervously, then quickly added, "Let's go, let's go."
The three of them turned their horses and ran back, driving about ten miles before slowing down.
"Oh! It's not going down anymore." Hong Lianshuo looked up and looked at the dark clouds in the sky dispersing, the sun came out, and a rainbow hung in the sky.
"Rainbow!" Lin Nanzheng said with joy on his face, "It's still double!"
"It's rare." Han Qinhu said with a smile on his face, "I hope something good happens."
"For us, as long as everything is safe, I don't dare to think about good things." Lin Nanzheng said with lingering fear, "I'm really scared."
The pain in everyone's heart may never be healed in their lifetime.
"The rain has stopped, so Yandu City will not be worried about being flooded." Lin Nanzheng took a long breath and said.
"Why is Yandu City still flooded?" Hong Lianshuo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him and said.
"But no, the Wuding River has never been stable." Lin Nanzheng sighed heavily. "From time to time, there will be floods, flooding both banks."
Hong Lianshuo and Han Qinhu are both foreigners, and they really don't know much about them.
"Tell us more about Wuding River and see if we can cure it." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with his long and calm eyes and said.
Lin Nanzheng looked at her in astonishment and said, "Ms. Hong, you really dare to think that the Wuding River has been flooded for many years and has not been cured."
"Are you sure you really want to control the floods, or do you just want money and not control the floods?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with innocent big eyes and said with a half-smile.
"Uh..." Lin Nanzheng was speechless, "I didn't know before, but the doctor in charge of water control in the previous dynasty was replaced every three or two years. The charge was corruption!"
"Pfft..." Han Qinhu looked at him in astonishment and said, "Really? Fake?"
"Why are Qin Hu so surprised? It's not like you don't know." Lin Nanzheng looked at him in surprise and said.
"I know, I just don't know what happened before we came." Han Qinhu pursed his lips and looked at him.
"We are located in the north. It is known as a barbaric land and a place of exile. It is not as prosperous as the Central Plains and Chang'an! It was only developed slowly in the Han Dynasty." Lin Nanzheng took a deep breath and said, "This has nothing to do with it.
I love and hate the Dinghe River." After a pause, he added, "I love it because it irrigates the fertile fields on both sides of the river, but I hate it because it naturally breaks its banks and floods both sides of the river from time to time, and sometimes even floods wash away the city of Yandu.
"Then he continued, "The Wuding River created the small plain of Yandu City, allowing people to live and work in peace and contentment here. The continuous river water moistened the mountains and soaked the land. As a result, the forests in the west and north mountains were lush, and in the southeast
Thousands of miles of fertile wilderness.”
"Is there no one to control the water?" Hong Lianshuo asked curiously, "If the previous dynasty couldn't do it, what about the dynasties before it?"
"During the Three Kingdoms period, the famous general Cao Wei led his people to build canals, diverting water from the Wuding River to irrigate farmland. It moistened four to five hundred miles, and irrigated more than ten thousand hectares of fertile land." Lin Nanzheng heard this and thought with his black eyes gleaming.
Hong Lianshuo understood that in the farming era, water was the lifeblood of agriculture, and the Wuding River nourished the people on both sides of the river.
"What if there are no underground water resources?" Hong Lianshuo blinked the raindrops on his long eyelashes and looked at him and asked. Looking at the confused man, he quickly added, "It's well water, spring water, water under the ground."
"Then this is rich, the spring water is flowing, sweet and clear." Lin Nanzheng looked at her with green eyes and said, "It is better than the well water in the city."
Han Qinhu heard this and echoed, "There are more springs outside the city. There are wells in Xiaoqi camp and Huben camp. Comparatively, the water is better than in the city."
"You won't miss it." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with bright eyes full of smile after hearing this, and then cautiously added, "Has no one thought about water control in so many years?"
"Someone reported it to the emperor, but nothing happened." Lin Nanzheng said with regret, his eyes dim.
"Is this person still there?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him expectantly and asked.
"Yes!" Lin Nanzheng looked at her happily and said, "I found that those who survive are not standing in the court."
"Everyone standing in the court hall was killed." Han Qinhu said happily, "They deserved it."
Lin Nanzheng looked at him in astonishment, "These words actually come from Brother Qinhu." It seemed that he was really angry at the emperor's shameless behavior.
"What's wrong, what are you looking at me doing?" Han Qin glared at Lin Nan Zhenghu and said in a rough voice.
"Nothing?" Lin Nanzheng quickly shook his head and said, now that Han Qinhu is a dog, it is best to avoid whoever he catches and bites.
No wonder, General Han was harmed by the Dog Emperor.
"Is this road so bad?" Hong Lianshuo looked down at the muddy and messy dirt road after the heavy rain.
"It's always been like this! You see, the roads in the city are good because they are paved with bluestones. They are smooth when there are more people walking on them. They are like this outside the city, and the official roads are no exception." Lin Nanzheng looked at it with disgust.
The road under my feet, "Fortunately I'm riding a horse."
"Have you never thought about repairing it? Just compact it and it will be fine!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said.
"Confirming that it is not feasible at all, forcibly conscripting the people, Qin Shihuang has learned from the past." Han Qinhu looked at her dumbfounded and said, "From Madam Hong's mouth, it seems that this matter is too simple."
"The First Emperor of Qin forced most of the people to build palaces and build tombs for himself. Restoring officialdom is a good thing that benefits the country and the people." Hong Lianshuo pointed to the road at his feet, "Who doesn't walk? You want to walk on this yellow mud road?
ah!"
"Eh..." Lin Nanzheng curled his lips in disgust.
"So the starting point is different. The purpose of building water conservancy is to irrigate farmland and prevent floods from destroying our homes and farmland." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with eyes like glass beads and said, "The so-called civilians in the official family have
How many things have been done for the people, it’s amazing to be able to support them!”
"Then try and see if you can convince them." Han Qinhu thought for a while and said.
"Present facts and reason, I believe they will be convinced." Hong Lianshuo said confidently.
