After waiting for more than an hour, the waves gradually arrived, from the indistinguishable wave or the river wave, to wave after wave of high waves rushing onto the river bank, not long after, the waves poured from the river more than 20 meters away to the high platform of sacrifice at the foot of Xiong Huai.

At this time, Tang Mo approached and said: "King, now that the sea is surging, please move the king." ”

Xiong Huai looked at the waves that kept hitting the altar, and couldn't help but nod.

After getting off the altar, Xiong Huai did not retreat immediately, but rode the waves of the water, took a bowl of water from the water, and then quickly retreated.

After taking more than a hundred steps back, after stopping, Xiong Huai looked into the bowl in his hand, and saw that the bottom of the bowl had taken advantage of some fine sand at this time, and he didn't know whether it was the sand in the water or the mud on the case that was hit by the waves.

Then, Xiong Huai took a small bite, and it was really bitter and astringent.

So, Xiong Huai immediately spit it out again, and then rinsed his mouth with water a few times to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth.

Then, Xiong Huai looked at the tide again, and when he saw it, Xiong Huai couldn't help frowning.

He had just taken a hundred steps back from the altar, but now the waves were more than seventy steps away from where he was now, and in just a few moments, the waves had advanced such a long distance.

Not only that, but the altar he had just stood on, which had been built not long ago, had been hit by the waves, and clods of earth were falling from the altar one after another, as if it would not take long to collapse.

After waiting for a while, Xiong Huai couldn't help frowning when the sea water spread more than thirty steps in front of him and the altar began to collapse.

Although he knew that the tide of the Qiantang River was spectacular, there was still a place to watch the tide. But now, as the sea continues to advance, people can only keep retreating, and there is little room for them.

It's still early June, and the tide hasn't reached its extreme, so if you wait until the August tide, it will be fine.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked Tang Yu, who was following him, "Sima, does this wave advance like this every time?" Also, where does this sea gush every year in August? ”

Tang Yu arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, the current waves are relatively mild, the minister came to see the flood in August last year, but found that the waves are as high as several zhang, its sound is like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, a wave hits, overwhelming, the entire river bank is raging with sea water for several miles. There are many swamps around Huiji, and the sea water spreads along the swamps to all parts of Huiji, so the flood is formed.

Moreover, the minister also heard from the local officials that if the luck is bad and the waves come by the wind, and the waves are ten feet high, at that time, even the city of Huiji will be affected. ”

"The waves are ten feet high!" Xiong Huai thought about that scene in his heart, and suddenly shivered, and then looked at Tang Yu in a daze and said, "Has Xianqing ever seen a ten-zhang high wave?" ”

Tang Mo shook his head embarrassedly: "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it." ”

As he spoke, the waves approached within ten steps again, and when Xiong Huai saw this, he continued to retreat while secretly shaking his head.

Originally, I came to the riverside to worship, in addition to the sacrifice, I also wanted to see if I could build an embankment along the river to block the waves in the Qiantang River.

But after seeing the waves and the topography of the riverbank, I couldn't help but dispel this thought.

A big water of the Qiantang River is the same as other places, it comes every day, and it is very punctual, and the people around it have figured out the law, and there is no one within a few miles, and everyone is afraid, in this case to build an embankment...

With the waves here are strong and urgent, and every day has to suffer the test of the waves, Xiong Huai immediately shook his head, with the current wall-building technology, not to mention the four-version wall-building method, even the eighth version or even the tenth version, I am afraid it will not last long.

Second, the terrain here is not good, it is too flat, and the river is difficult to store water. In this case, how high does the embankment need to be?

What's more, the current Qiantang River is still different from later generations, no, it should be said that the current sea area is different from later generations, and the sea area is much larger than that of later generations.

Although Xiong Huai passed through Yuhang County when he went south to Huiji, but Yuhang is not far from the sea, although Xiong Huai does not know whether the current Yuhang County is the same place as Hangzhou in the future, but Xiong Huai can be sure that there is no famous West Lake in the future generations, some are all water, and even Xiong Huai can't figure out whether it is river water or sea water, anyway, it is all water.

Not only Huiji, but also Wucheng, the sea area is larger than that of later generations, there is no West Lake, and even Chongming Island of the Yangtze River has not yet had any traces, except for water, or water.

Therefore, with this spare time, it is better to move the people who do not want to stay here to other places.

Chu has territory, as long as someone is willing to move, then provide land for free, why bother with the sea!

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai didn't mention the matter of building an embankment to leave his name, and directly made this idea stillborn.

After watching the waves again, Xiong Huai decided that he couldn't solve it, so he didn't stay anymore and said directly: "Spread the edict, the widow decided to go to Changtang everywhere to have a look. ”

"Yui."

Half an hour later, Xiong Huai led the crowd to Wutang in the west of Huiji City.

After coming to Wutang, Xiong Huai looked around and was very disappointed.

This Wutang is east-west, about two or three miles long, and the core area is a small lake, surrounded by patches of farmland.

At first glance, it is a very small reservoir.

At this time, Xiong Huai walked on the pond, and after summoning Wen Que over, he pointed to the lake and said: "Xianqing, this is the Wutang built by Goujian, the king of Yue?" ”

Wen Que nodded: "Back to the king, it is Wutang, which is the last big pond built by the Yue Kingdom before moving the capital from Huiji, because this construction used a large number of Wu prisoners of war, so later generations call it Wutang." ”

Xiong Huai looked at the surrounding green farmland, and then asked, "In addition to being used by people, how much farmland can this Wutang irrigate?" ”

"Less than three thousand acres."

After receiving Wen Que's reply, Xiong Huai couldn't help but shake his head, really disappointed.

Compared with the Shaobi of the Chu State, ten Wutangs can't withstand one Shaobi, not to mention other water conservancy projects such as the Huainan of the Chu State.

The hundreds of miles in Huiji have basically been polluted by seawater, and relying on these long ponds built by the Yue country one after another, I am afraid that there is no complete solution to the flood problem of Huiji.

Not to mention that Xionghuai has come all the way from the bank of the Qiantang River, and there is no long pond in these ten miles, that is to say, the water in these areas is all saltwater polluted by seawater.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai couldn't help but say: "Although Wenzi's strategy of building a pond to store water is good, I'm afraid it hasn't completely solved the problem of flooding." ”

"The king is wise." Wen Que nodded: "It is precisely because the flood of Huiji is too serious and difficult to cure, so after the Yue Kingdom destroyed Wu, many heroes were unwilling to ask for the land of Huiji, so King Goujian of Yue sealed a large number of heroes to Wu Land. Subsequently, all the easily manageable areas around Huiji had been remediated, and the land population was close to saturation.

Therefore, a large number of Yue nobles went north to Wu and robbed Wu land, which was also the root cause of the contradiction between the Wu people and the Yue people. It is precisely because of this that the capital of Wu is about to die for two hundred years, and there are still Wu people and Yue people in Jiangdong. ”
