The locust plague has passed, and not a single locust can be seen in the field, and some people have even dug up the ground to see if they can find the larvae.

But those plants are almost gnawed to pieces, and if it weren't for the fact that these locusts could eat them, it is estimated that many people would really starve to death.

Whether this locust has been eaten up or migrated, I don't know, at least this big dragon can no longer be seen in the territory of Western Chu.

The locusts first disappeared in the Jingzhou area, and then gradually, the locusts were not seen elsewhere.

The method of diversion and irrigation proposed by Xuanyuan Hanmo used a large amount of manpower to make a small mouth from the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and the water flow of the already arid river channel appeared again.

The arid earth was moistened, but now the problem has arisen again.

Because of this shortfall, the water level of the river has risen quite a bit.

For this question, Xuanyuan Hanmo had a headache for a long time.

It's the middle of July, and it's also the flood season every year.

It's just that the year can be much stronger, but if there is a drought, it will be followed by flooding.

Now near the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake, Jingjiang River and other locations have been raining heavily for days, and the water level in each location has been higher than the position of the embankment.

The most troublesome thing is that these dikes are all made of earth foundations, and once they collapse, many people will die.

Now these places can only rely on manpower to carry stones, sand and gravel, mixing immature cement to strengthen the embankment.

Dongting Lake is okay, it can still hold up, but the Jingjiang estuary is troublesome, the river channel of the Jiuqu Ileum, the riverbed will also be driven by the flow of sediment is too high, and in the rainy season and flood season, the water level is a big cut every day.

"I don't care what you do, you must! Hurry up and mobilize manpower, and pile the position of this mouth for me first! Once this position collapses, you can see it without me saying it! There's a whole lot of space behind that! ”

Xuanyuan Hanmo pointed to the map irritably and scolded Lu Guan, this old guy actually threw the digging of the river to a person who didn't know how to do it.

In the entire council hall, the prime minister looked at it with a solemn face, the head of the household department, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Guan, Liu Youfu and Xuanyuan Hanmo, all of them, and Xuanyuan Hanmo was even more irritable like jumping feet.

The river has indeed been dug up, and the arid areas have indeed been moistened, but this fool has dug up the Jingjiang embankment!

Now, the water that comes out of this mouth every day has soaked the fields in several places.

The most troublesome thing is that this mouth can't be blocked! This embankment washes away part of the foundation of the earth at all times, and if it weren't for the fact that someone has been carrying stones to plug this opening, it is estimated that it would have collapsed long ago!

Before coming, everyone didn't know what the situation was, but after seeing the information on the intelligence, they knew that they were digging the Jingjiang estuary.

This is the scene where Xuanyuan Hanmo is furious.

Lu Guan has been in his current position from a craftsman in the Ministry of Engineering, and has participated in the construction of various river mouth dikes, so he naturally knows the importance of Jingjiang dikes.

But he didn't expect that he would lack this time to participate, and he would come out with such a big basket.

It's still a basket bigger than stabbing the sky!

"Don't talk about anything else now, I know that the embankment has been strengthened since before the previous dynasty, and it has been raised every year, and it will collapse a little bit every year, but this time it is different!"

Lu Guan gestured with his hand impatiently, and his tone was also very anxious.

"But if this opening is opened, then the levee, which has been piled up for hundreds of years, is likely to collapse at the peak of the flood season!" I don't know how deep the Jingjiang River is, but in the decades I have been in charge, I have built seven zhang high! ”

Hearing this data from Lu Guan, Xuanyuan Han's ink head is big, seven zhang! That's also more than twenty meters! How high was the reinforcement before, who knows?

"Put down all the work at hand! Full production of cement! I will order the army of Jingzhou to be drawn later, but it will take time to pass! There is also the laying of railroad tracks that cannot be stopped! But to shift the direction to Jingzhou! If it really collapses, at least the train can take the people away! ”

The prime minister, who had been silent, kept Xuanyuan Hanmo, who wanted to leave.

"This can't be done, the people are reluctant to leave their homes, so instead of thinking about how to transport these people, it is better to mobilize them to participate in this matter of protecting them, which can make them grateful to the court!"

Xuanyuan Hanmo sighed, this old guy can still think of how to win people's hearts at this time!

"Okay, just do as you say! It's also a good idea, I'm in charge of the troop transfer! Then you stepped up, and I went! ”

Xuanyuan Han left in a hurry without looking back.

Everyone else began to get busy, but Liu Youfu stood dumbfounded.

"You all have something to do, but what about me? What am I going to do? ”

At this time, the prime minister, who had not yet left, came over.

"Your Majesty, you also have a task, that is, to guard the rear and be a, what did that kid say? Oh! Mascot! Your Majesty just be a mascot! ”

"You old man, how can you learn from that bastard, where do I look like a mascot?"

The prime minister looked at Liu Youfu seriously, and looked up and down.

"Then Your Majesty, what do you think you can do at this time except to sit firmly in the rear?"

Liu Youfu can't say it, with his size, if he goes to Jingjiang to fight the flood, he can splash waves at least a few meters high if he falls into the water! And no one is angry with him!

He really can only dispatch people in the rear.

"Your Majesty, that kid is right, the most suitable thing for you at this time is to be a mascot, and all the stability of the rear can only be supported by you, because you are the emperor!"

Liu Youfu nodded silently, he understood, at this time, he needed to sit alone in the center.

As soon as Xuanyuan Hanmo left the palace gate, he went straight home, and when he returned to the door, he had already come out to greet him.

Xuanyuan Hanmo didn't go in, and ran out of the city without giving up.

After he left, six women walked out of the door of the mansion.

"I'll go too, maybe I can help him."

Mu Yuanfang decided to follow, she didn't know why she had this idea.

"Go ahead! Take care of him for us! ”

Nalan Wanyan did not refuse, but agreed with Mu Yuanfang's decision, even Liu Yun nodded worriedly.

Everyone agreed, and Mu Yuanfang rode the prepared horse to Xuanyuan Hanmo to chase after him.

At the same time as Xuanyuan Hanmo set out, he also sent four messengers to urgently deliver letters to the barracks where the various armies in Jingzhou were stationed.

It's fast, but no matter how fast it is, it's not as good as the horse's endurance! ran and stopped all the way, but Mu Yuanfang still caught up.

"I said, why are you coming along? It's none of your business! ”

"They asked me to take care of you!"

Xuanyuan Hanmo rolled his eyes and took care of him! I don't know who takes care of whom!

"And! You're off track! This is not Jingzhou in front, if you run again, you will run to Yangzhou! ”

Xuanyuan Hanmo was dumbfounded, went astray? The road was so cloudy that he couldn't see the stars in the sky, and he couldn't discern the direction.

Xuanyuan Hanmo gritted his teeth and hugged Mu Yuanfang on his back.

"You show the way!"
