Chapter 172: Five Villages in Jiangnan (2)

Yan Song has also flipped through all the books on flood control in the study in the past few days, and only then has he found a solution that can better handle this matter, but to implement this plan, it will definitely take some time and financial support from Yuqian. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this is probably going to make Yu Qian feel distressed for a while.

"You haven't told me yet, what the hell is!" the young man asked anxiously, as if curious as to what the new method was.

"You once said that if I could restore the Five Villages to the way they were ten years ago, I would no longer question the identity of my descendants of the Yan family. Can you still count that?"

The man pursed his lips and said, "Naturally, if you have that much ability, why should I question you! But don't forget, if you can't do it, you have to get out of Jiangnan for me!"

Yan Song smiled slightly, "Then we'll wait and see." She didn't say what the method was, the man stood there and pondered, this little girl really has such the ability to solve the problems that have plagued Jiangnan for many years.

"Miss, is that Xu Xiucai coming to disturb you again?" Ah Chun ran towards her excitedly with a basin of sea tung in his hand.

"Xu Xiucai, is that young man's surname Xu?"

Ah Chun nodded, "That person's name is Xu Manxiu, and he is the most literary person in the five villages in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is precisely because of his outstanding literary talent that he often has no one in his eyes." Miss came to Jiangnan this time, and she was stunned to steal his limelight, this person must have a grudge, so he will make things difficult everywhere. ”

Xu Manxiu is probably taken from the phrase Lu Manman's cultivation is far away, but this Xu Manxiu is contrary to this name. Probably, this person will still make trouble after that.

She looked at the sun and asked, "Ah Chun, has Master Chen arrived?"

"Ah Xia said that the master has arrived at the gate of the village, and he should be here soon. It's just that, miss, why did you invite the master?" Ah Chun asked as she put down the Haitong that she couldn't hold in her hand, still following her.

"Mr. Chen has lived in Jiangnan for more than 10 years, and he knows best what happened when his grandfather was in charge 10 years ago and when the floods occurred in the past 10 years. I am sure that he will give us a direction. ”

Not far away, Ah Xia hurriedly ran over, followed by a fifty-year-old man, neatly dressed and looking quite peaceful.

The man bowed slightly, and said quite politely, "I don't know, what is the matter with Miss Yan looking for the old man?"

"Master Chen, please come in. Yan Song took him to the hall and made tea for waiting, she had heard that Chen Fuzi was the most powerful assistant by her grandfather's side, and after her grandfather died, Chen Fuzi had no intention of ruling the government, taking root in the south of the Yangtze River, and staying for ten years.

"Master doesn't have to be formal, you are a friend of your grandfather, so you are naturally Yan Song's elder. Although Yan Song is not familiar with this place in the south of the Yangtze River, he also knows that Master Chen was the most powerful person around his grandfather back then, so he wants to ask you if he has something?"

Master Chen stroked his slender beard and said with a slight smile, "If there is anything that is not effective, it is all for the imperial court, so naturally you have to work harder." Miss Yan wants to ask something, and the old man must know everything. ”

"Yes. Yan Song stretched out his hand and took out the record book that was placed on the other table, "The younger generation looked through the measures taken by my grandfather to control the flood back then, and found something strange. At that time, my grandfather did not do anything, but just blindly made up for the losses of the villagers after the disaster, which is really strange. ”

Indeed, with her grandfather's intelligence, she would not have thought of a way to build a dam, let alone just wait for a disaster to occur and do nothing, and something must have happened in the process.

Chen Fuzi frowned, sighed and said, "Back then, we didn't try to build a dam, but firstly, there were few people in Jiangnan who were willing to build this dam, and there was no money, and secondly, the soil in the south of the Yangtze River was soft, and flash floods often occurred in the rain, and even if the embankment was built later, it was afraid that it would collapse directly after being washed away by the heavy rain." ”

Sure enough, there was a reason why my grandfather did not build the embankment back then, and the soil quality of the south of the Yangtze River is indeed different from that of the jade capital, but it is difficult to guarantee whether the embankment is strong after the heavy rain. Moreover, if the levee collapses, the damage caused will be several times more than usual.

Yan Song frowned slightly, on the one hand, she was worried that the construction of this embankment would bring greater losses, and on the other hand, she was not completely sure now.

"Master, what do you think would happen if I mixed stones into the sand?"

Chen Fuzi rolled his eyes, he had never thought about the sturdiness of adding stones to the mud and sand.

"Ah Chun, bring that Haitong here. ”

Ah Chun stepped back in response, and vigorously moved the flower pot that she couldn't move, revealing a dark gray flower pot under the round leaves of the sea tung, and then looked closely, this flower pot seemed to be different from usual. The surface is pitted and uneven, and when you get closer, you can see that it is actually made of stones.

"This ......," Chen Fuzi picked up the flower pot and looked at it carefully, "This flower pot is actually made of stones, no, the cracks in this stone are pasted with sand and stone, it is really a novelty." ”

"Master, please see, this pot was made by me not long ago, and this sea pot is watered by Ah Chun and Ah Xia every day, and after a few days, this flower pot has not cracked, nor has it broken at the touch of a button, on the contrary, it is particularly strong. Later generations imagined that adding gravel to the materials used to build the dams might also have such an effect. ”

Master Chen's expression finally began to relax, and he looked at Yan Song with curiosity and shook his head, "I can't imagine that Taifu's granddaughter has such a mind, thinking of this novel method, the old man sees that this method is worth trying." But what are the drawings of the style of this embankment?"

Yan Song took out a scroll of drawings from his sleeve and handed it over, "Master, please see, this is the embankment diagram depicted by the younger generation, when the younger generation was young, he used to play in front of the big tank with his sister, and the younger sister accidentally broke the upper part of the big tank, and the water flowed out slowly; ”

The master listened to the story with great interest, and said softly, "You girl is very clever. Therefore, you widen the bottom of the embankment so that it is not easy to burst, which is interesting!" Chen Fuzi laughed.

"Master, I don't know how many chances the younger generation has of success in this method. ”

"Your method is really not ordinary. "It's just that since we want to reduce the losses, it is better to transfer the villagers to the third village in June, where the terrain is higher and the materials are abundant." ”

"What the Master said is that it's just that, Master, the juniors may not be able to stay here for too long. In June, Lao asked his master to transfer the villagers. ”

Master Chen wondered, "Oh, where are you going?"

"Miss, Miss!" Before Yan Song could answer, Ah Dong hurriedly ran from outside, "Lord Hai, Lord Hai is back!"
