There is a lot of strength in numbers, and after two hours, the hemp ropes and sacks of the entire Jingyang are concentrated on the Jinghe embankment.

The Yangtze River and the Yellow River gave birth to Chinese civilization, but from ancient times to the present, these two rivers have brought Chinese descendants not only abundant water sources and brilliant civilization, but also endless disasters and untold suffering.

When it comes to water control, there is no nation in the world that can be compared with the Chinese nation.

In the course of thousands of years of Chinese civilization, the technology of water control has changed with each passing day, and countless methods have been discussed and put into practice.

The rain is weakening, but the raging flood is still rushing and roaring, and the water level of the Jing River has remained high.

The sky was already dark, and the torches could not be lit due to heavy rain, so Fang Jun ordered the soldiers to build several zhang high platforms with wooden stakes, covering the roof with wooden planks to block the rain, and placing pine lights on the bottom, like a bonfire to illuminate a radius of dozens of zhang.

Fang Jun wore a robe, commanded the people to weave hemp rope into a net, and then stood next to the embankment and ordered the soldiers to nail wooden stakes more than a foot long into the embankment near the gap in the embankment, densely connected in a row.

turned around and was about to instruct the next step, but saw Lin Ruofu and two officials from the Ministry of Industry instructing a few scribes to hold up umbrellas, pouting and kneeling on the ground with a few heads together......

"What are you doing?"

Fang Jun couldn't help but be curious, and leaned over to look.

only to find that these people had spread a box on the ground in the river water that had overflowed the embankment, and then the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready, and they were muttering and writing hard......

Hearing Fang Jun's inquiry, Lin Ruofu raised his head and said solemnly: "Fang Shilang's method of water control is really unprecedented, although it has not yet been proved whether it can be used, but we think that it is a good policy for waterproofing and fixing embankments, which should be described in detail, and then spread to the world, and will surely benefit the world." ”

Fang Jun was speechless......

"What kind of good idea is this? You are turning a blind eye to the real first-class good strategy. ”

"Fang Shilang's words are wrong...... Lin Ruofu straightened up and looked admired: "Since ancient times, how to control the water, how to stabilize the soil and stones from being washed away by the torrent, it is difficult to climb to the sky." And Fang Shilang's method of overcoming this problem in one fell swoop with a rope net will inevitably be imitated by the world, which is actually an innovation for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Fang Jun shook his head and began to instruct the soldiers to put the rope nets into the water.

Dozens of soldiers with good water skills stripped off their clothes, tied them together with a thick hemp rope, and then jumped into the turbulent flood without hesitation. The current was too fast, and a whirlpool formed near the breach, and as soon as the person jumped down, he was swept away by the current and disappeared, and it took a long time for his head to emerge, and the people on the embankment breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the hemp rope in series, I am afraid that no matter how good the water is, it will not be able to withstand this monstrous flood......

Then one end of the net went down the embankment, little by little from one end to the other, and was tightly fastened to the stake that was driven into the embankment.

The soldiers were ordered to put the earth and stones into sacks, push them into the gap and sink to the bottom of the river, and the turbulent water carried the sacks into the middle of the river, but they were blocked by rope nets and could not be carried away.

Fang Jun commanded to continue to fill the gap with soil and stones, and said to Lin Ruofu and the officials of the Ministry of Industry: "In fact, the real good strategy for water control is not to save the danger, but to fix the embankment." He pointed to the official not far away, "See?" If the official road built with cement is still unimpeded even if the rain and snow are raging, if the entire section of the river embankment that is prone to collapse is poured with cement, how can you be afraid of the flood? No matter how monstrous the flood is, in front of the impregnable embankment, there is only obedient obedience. ”

The official of the Ministry of Industry smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, how easy is it to talk about?" Not to mention the cost of this cement, how big is the scale of this fired cement to cope with the repair of the world's rivers? Although this method is good, it is inevitably out of touch with reality. ”

Fang Jun shook his head and said: "This is wrong, you are the Ministry of Industry, you should improve your skills and promote technology, cement is developed by this official, it has just been published for a few years, is there still a way to improve, have you ever explored?" At the end of the day, it's just that the world is short-sighted and hasn't paid attention to all kinds of new technologies. ”

This made the officials of the Ministry of Industry a little embarrassed, but it was irrefutable.

The waiter in front of him used to work in the Ministry of Industry, and he knew how much the whole world despised all kinds of craftsmanship.

However, this is the perception of the world, and no one can change it......

A gap was quickly filled, and the sacks full of earth and stone were blocked by rope nets and wooden stakes, and the gap was blocked, and the raging flood could only roar and rush down.

The crowd on the embankment was excited, and without Fang Jun's spur, everyone rushed to the next gap excitedly.

As long as all the gaps are plugged and the entire levee does not collapse, then Jingyang may survive this flood......

The doom of the homeland seems to have been rescued, and the people of Jingyang naturally compete for the first place.

*****

On the other side, Liu Xun took a few imperial historians under his command and a team of soldiers to escort Wei Yifang back to Jingyang City.

The young man who had been incense and powdered had already had his hair in a messy bun and looked anxious, and his neat official robe was full of mud and water stains, and he was embarrassed to look like a child of a family that no longer existed.

The wind and rain are like rocks, and Jingyang City is empty, like a ghost.

Almost all the people of Jingyang have run to the embankment to fight the flood, and when the flood is raging, no one wants to flee from this place with their families and become homeless slaves, but choose to compete with fate for the right to survive, which leads to the city being empty, only the miserable wind and rain are raging.

Wei Yifang looked discouraged, and was escorted to the Yicang Gate behind the official office in the city, and the whole person was as if he had been stripped of his bones......

The corners of Liu Xun's mouth were raised, and he looked sarcastic.

He looked down on Fang Jun, and always thought that the children of the family who relied on the family power and the emperor's favor to do whatever they wanted like Fang Jun were really shameless, no different from scum. But now looking at Wei Yifang in front of him, he found that Fang Jun, who was also a gentleman, was really strong......

At the very least, Fang Jun is really capable, even in the face of the worst situation, he will straighten his chest and be unwilling to give in, and carry out the "mallet" to the end.

And what about the one in front of you?

Liu Xun was sure that even if he asked Wei Yifang if he had ever drilled into his father's concubine's bed, this kid would honestly confess......

There is no integrity, no backbone.

"Wei County order, open the Yicang, and the official will personally survey the number of grain in stock."

"This ...... The key is not on so-and-so......"

Although Wei Yifang knew that it was difficult to escape responsibility, there was still only a trace of luck.

How many corrupt officials has Liu Xun gone through? sneered at the moment: "It's okay, this official sent soldiers to you to go to the county office to get the key, and by the way, take the accounts of Yicang, and the official will check them one by one." ”

Wei Yi's face was pale.

Accounts?

In fact, there is no need to look at the accounts, because when Liu Xun opened the door of the Yicang, he found that there was no grain in the entire Yicang......

Not even a single rat was missing.

"Hehe......"

Liu Xun smiled angrily.

It has long been an unwritten unspoken rule in the DPRK and China, and it is a common phenomenon for the children of the family or local officials to use some tricks and tricks to earn some benefits.

In officialdom, since there are some things that everyone has acquiesced to, they can only be obeyed, even if these things are unreasonable or even illegal......

But to be able to do it so resolutely and thoroughly as it is unheard of.

How greedy and stupid would it be for such a thing to empty the whole barn?

Liu Xun's original intention was just to arrest a son of Jingzhao Wei's and impeach him fiercely, so as to increase his influence and reputation, but he unexpectedly dug up such a bold fool......

"Wei County ordered not to tell this official that no one in Jingyang Yicang has donated grain this year." Liu Xun looked sneering.

Wei Yifang hung his head and begged: "I am a disciple of Jingzhao Wei, if Liu Yushi can let go of the next horse, Jingzhao Weishi will have a follow-up ......."

Liu Xun shook his head and sighed, this kid looks like a dog, he is really stupid......

stepped forward and patted Wei Yifang's shoulder, Liu Yi sighed and said, "At this time, do you still want to be lucky?" The eyes of the entire imperial court are in Jingyang at this moment, not to mention that you are just a child of Jingzhao Wei, even if you are a child of the royal family...... So what? Listen to the advice of the official, and tell everything happily, which can be regarded as avoiding the pain of flesh and skin, the official has no power to judge the case, but once His Majesty is angry, the case will inevitably be handed over to the 'Hundred Cavalry Division'...... Those vicious guys will make you regret coming to this world. ”

Wei Yifang was so frightened that he shuddered and asked in a lost voice, "What's the matter with this 'Hundred Cavalry Division'?" ”

It's just a resale of the grain from the Yicang, and it's not a plot to usurp the throne, how can it get into the hands of the "Hundred Horsemen"?

Liu Yi really took this mentally retarded ...... Just as he was about to speak, an imperial historian behind him trotted in from outside the warehouse, and came to Liu Xun's side and whispered: "The 'Hundred Cavalry Division' has arrived, saying that it was ordered by His Majesty to strictly investigate this case. ”

"Puff"

Wei Yifang on the side sat on the ground, his eyes blank and depressed.

It's just that he can't hinder his cousin's demagogy for a while and steal the grain from Yicang, and the total amount of grain obtained is only tens of thousands of yuan, which can also alarm the emperor?

What a miserable life you are......
