Standing desperately on the ruins of the receding flood, Huang Qi saw the people who had lost their relatives like him, and at that time, he secretly vowed that he would build the river embankment well and not let the tragedy happen again.

The nearest bank of the Mianjiang River is not far from the canal, and the group walked for a short time to reach the embankment.

Due to the heavy rain, the water level of the river has risen sharply, even if the water is a plain area, the river also seems to be turbulent, and there are often broken wood and boulders wrapped in it.

Feng Feihan squatted down to check, the embankment was poured very strongly, about three or four zhang high from the river surface, now it seems to be very safe, there will be no situation where the river will wash away the embankment, Feng Feihan's heart that has been hanging for the past few days has finally let go of a little, Tang Ningnan looked at his slightly soothing brow, and also felt very relieved.

Fan Si, the governor of the Mijiang River, stood aside and explained: "This year, it has rained a lot, and when the water does not rise on weekdays, the embankment is six or seven zhang high from the highest point of the river. ”

This Fan Si was personally promoted by Feng Feihan, and three years ago he was not in any official position, just a water worker who built river embankments.

In the second year of Xuanyue, it rained for a long time in Huaizhong, the river was flooded, and many banks of the river burst in the riverbank, revealing a big gap, and the river rushed out, instantly flooding the residences and fields of the people on both sides of the river, and many people who had not had time to evacuate were swept into the flood and disappeared without a trace.

The gap is often blocked from both sides to the middle, and finally there is an opening left, which is called "Helongmen". Whether the mouth is successful or not depends on whether it can smoothly close the dragon's mouth. As a result, this mouth, with a total length of nearly 60 meters, was personally supervised by Guo Shenxi, but it was still unsuccessful many times.

At this time, the young waterman named Van Si put forward an idea, he thought that the reason why the gantry could not be closed was because it was too long, the water was turbulent, and if it was filled with stone and wood, it would be too heavy for people to lift, too light and too small to seal the mouth.

Therefore, he proposed to divide the previous embankment pier into three parts, so that although there are more places to break, the water volume will drop, and then block one by one, so that although it seems that the amount of work has increased, and even some of the previous projects that have been done will be destroyed, but from the whole project, it is the most effective.

As soon as this view was put forward, it was immediately opposed by the old watermen, who thought that this situation was futile, and that once the gap was opened, the embankment would likely burst, and secondly, the work that had been done would be destroyed in vain.

The two sides engaged in a heated debate, with Guo Shenxi supporting the old hydraulic method, while Huang Qi, who was the governor at the time, thought that Fans's method was feasible, so he secretly sent people to remove the materials that had been washed away after the failure of the downstream throttling dragon gate.

Later, Guo Shenxi closed the dam according to the old hydraulic method, but in the end it failed, and in the end, it was according to the method proposed by Fan Si that the embankment was successfully closed.

Before the flood, he not only did not deploy in advance, but ran away with his family and relatives, and did not even give the people an early warning, which led to heavy casualties.

Guo Shenxi's judgment was not thorough, he failed many times, and he did not listen to the suggestions of others, which aggravated the disaster, so he was also demoted. Fan Si, who proposed the method, received praise from Feng Feihan in his own letter, and Huang Qi, the governor who was secretly circulating, took the place of Liu Huzhizhou.

Although the disaster has passed, Huang Qi knew that there might be such a rainstorm in the future, and everything still needs to be considered in the long run, and the river embankment should be built well, so he kept Van Si by his side and made him the leader of the water workers.

In the following years, Fan Si's performance was very good, and with Huang Qijin's words, Feng Feihan issued an order to make an exception to promote Fan Si, who did not participate in the election examination, to be promoted to the governor of the Mijiang River, managing the dredging of the river and the construction of dikes.

In fact, in the past, the river water had already exceeded the critical line, but in the past three years, Fan Si has combined dredging and blocking, adapted measures to local conditions, built canals, diverted water from the river to several large lakes in the river, and built sluice dams in many places to cope with such a large amount of precipitation this year.

The group turned around on the embankment for a long time, until they came to a place that was some distance away from the dock, and looked at the situation in other places, the embankment in each place was very solid, the haze on Feng Feihan's brow gradually faded, and it was relaxed, Feng Feihan was satisfied, and Tang Ningnan's mood was also relaxed.

In fact, if you calm down and look carefully from a distance, the water is still very beautiful after the rain, the air is very thorough, the plain area can be seen far away at a glance, the houses of the people also extend into the distance, blurred in the mist, the willow trees on both sides of the river embankment are washed by the heavy rain and shiny green, if the river water is clear again, it will be even better.

It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, this scenery hasn't been seen for long, and there are raindrops falling, Huang Qi originally planned to directly arrange Feng Feihan and his party to go to the restaurant, so he didn't take rain gear, because there were few vendors on the street when it rained, I thought that there would be a stall owner selling umbrellas, but Li Lanshi came back after looking around, and only brought back a few clothes.

"This ......" Huang Qi and Fan Si looked at each other, they just checked, they checked the river embankment every summer, and they were used to experiencing the windy and rainy weather.

It's just that the emperor and the concubine are really used to this rough robe? Especially the concubine Niangniang, who was born white and pure, rich in everyone's spirit, at first glance she was pampered, and with this robe, I am afraid that her delicate skin will not be hurt.

When the two were hesitating, Tang Ningnan picked up the coat by himself and put it on skillfully, which made everyone, including Feng Feihan, look surprised.

Tang Ningnan thought in his heart, "Ah! The last time I wore this, I was at my grandmother's house in the countryside. "She really likes the smell of the cloth, it has a natural aroma.

Noticing everyone's expressions, Tang Ningnan thought that the original owner was a princess, how could she be used to these skillfully, and said embarrassedly: "When I was in Miaojiang before, I secretly ran away to play outside the palace, and I also encountered this kind of rainy day, where I didn't buy an umbrella, so I used a coat in desperation." ”

"Actually, this coat is very good. You don't have to hold an umbrella by yourself, how convenient it is, your Majesty. ”

After Tang Ningnan put on his robe, he also showed Feng Feihan that Fan Si and Huang Qi looked at Tang Ningnan who didn't dislike it at all, and their hanging hearts were put down.

In fact, since the road has just come all the way, whether it is muddy on the road, or whether the stagnant water wets the shoes and socks, this Xiao Guifei did not complain at all, but silently followed the emperor's side, the emperor's attitude towards her, the two of them also saw it in their eyes, and it could be seen that the emperor was still very concerned about this lady.

This is the commendability of Xiao Guifei, with the emperor's grace but not spoiled, and she is also kind to them, and even the rough clothes are used, it can be said that she is a virtuous concubine, and it is no wonder that the emperor will favor her.

Feng Feihan didn't wear a robe, but he had only seen the palace people wear it, but he didn't want to cause trouble to the two officials, so he also wore the coat on his body like Tang Ningnan.

When the six people put on their robes, Tang Ningnan laughed, the five of them, just like they had just come back from fishing, and said that at this time, they would use a bamboo basket to pack a few mandarin fish back, and then put on a pair of mango shoes, it would have that taste.

As he spoke, he pretended to stroke Schrödinger's beard, and said in a thick voice, learning the tone of a man: "Today's harvest is good, these fish are enough for the family to eat, and they can be taken out and sold, very good, very good." ”

Looking at Tang Ningnan's funny appearance, the rest of the people laughed out loud, Feng Feihan, Lan Shi Zhaohua and the three of them were not surprised, Tang Ningnan knew what temperament he had.

Huang Qi and Fan Si seemed to have seen a freshness, and there was such an interesting concubine, and there was no high-ranking concubine at all.

Everyone laughed, and Huang Qi said that the emperor had just gotten off the boat and went straight to the river embankment, and before he had time to have dinner, he should be hungry after turning around for so long, so he invited Feng Feihan and them to go to the restaurant.

As soon as they arrived outside the restaurant, the six people were stopped by Xiao Er at the door.

"Today, the restaurant was chartered, and other idlers were not allowed to enter." Xiao Er blocked the door and spoke.

Tang Ningnan curled his mouth and showed a gloating smile, it seems that this little two people looked at the few of them wearing robes, and waited as idlers.

"Why, you don't recognize me when I put on my robe?" Huang Qi took off the hat on his head and said to the shopkeeper.

"Yo, it turned out to be Lord Huang, the villain is clumsy, clumsy, please forgive me." Seeing that the person who came was Zhizhou Huang Qi, he had booked the big customer of their hotel a few days ago, and the shopkeeper immediately lost it, and bowed his waist to invite Huang Qi in, but Huang Qi turned around, thinking about the two people behind him saluting and letting the two of them in front.

Dian Xiaoer was dumbfounded, Zhizhou is their biggest official here, are these two people more noble than him?

When Feng Feihan entered the restaurant, the concubines who had already sat down stood up to greet him, Feng Feihan beckoned, signaling that they didn't have to be polite, sit down quickly, and when Feng Feihan took off his coat and sat down, Huang Qicai asked someone to pass the food, Feng Feihan didn't come, even if these concubines arrived at the restaurant, they didn't dare to eat first.

Huang Qi is the local governor, and the people he entertains must be distinguished guests, so when the food is served, even the shopkeeper personally sends it over with Xiao Er.

Because Huang Qi specially instructed them to bring their own tableware, when the shopkeeper served the dishes, he secretly glanced at it, and saw that what was placed in front of everyone on the table was a set of valuable silver tableware, knowing that they were all people with extraordinary identities, he didn't dare to slack off.

Huang Qi's subordinates held the silver needle in their hands and put it into the dishes one by one, the silver needle did not change color, and then picked up the chopsticks and tried them one by one, waiting for a while, and there was no uncomfortable feeling in the body before they dared to clip it into the silver bowl in front of Feng Feihan.
