Volume 1 The Rise of Langya Chapter 4 Investigate the Yi River
Fan Tiancheng rushed to the outside of the palace, still thinking about how to control the flood of the Yi River.
Ren Changyong rushed to a carriage, stopped in front of him and said, "Childe should take the carriage, right?" The distance is long, and it is not possible to arrive in a moment. ”
Fan Tiancheng thought about it, shook his head and said, "Brother Yong, let's ride over." Some places are remote, and horse-drawn carriages may not be able to pass. ”
The birthplace of the Yi River is in Juguo, passing through Langya country, and finally entering the sea in Tan country. Ju country is too mountainous, and the rivers are mostly between the valleys, and there is no threat of flooding when there is a lot of rain in summer.
The central part of Langya is low-lying and prone to flooding every summer.
Langya City is close to the Yi River, and you can reach it in half an hour by horseback, and you can see a wide river, which is almost two or three miles wide.
Although there was a light rain yesterday, there is still not much water in the river, and I don't want the big river at all, but I want the small stream to flow.
Villages and towns are not built close to the Yi River, but are some distance from the Yi River. It seems that they are worried about the floods in the summer, and they are building villages from a distance.
Ren Xiaowu led the way in front and introduced as he walked: "Now that winter has just passed, it won't rain." Speaking of this, he remembered yesterday's light rain, and changed his words: "Occasionally, there is a light rain." ”
When Fan Tiancheng heard this, his face was slightly red, and he pretended not to hear. I would also concentrate on checking the river, and I saw that there were a few children catching fish inside.
The river was full of silt, and in some places it reached the waist of the child. This is still by the river, and the middle is estimated to be deeper. They are constantly frolicking, playing.
Ren Xiaowu looked at it and sighed and said, "If there is a flood today, these little guys can't be so happy." Every year, the king allocates a large sum of gold and silver to rectify the situation, but each time it fails. ”
Fan Tiancheng had a picture in his mind, countless farmers carrying silt ashore, and patches of fertile fertile fields appeared.
Looking in the direction of the riverbank, I found that the width of the river was different. The river is wide in the low-lying areas and narrow in the high-lying areas. The width can reach two or three miles, and the narrow one is only about 100 meters.
He found an old man sitting on the shore, smiling at the children who were playing, who should be the old man who was taking care of his grandson.
Fan Tiancheng walked over and greeted: "Old man, how many years have you lived here?" ”
When the old man saw the three richly dressed, he knew that they were rich and noble, so he said carefully: "Little Lao'er, I have lived on the shore since I was a child, and I have been living for sixty years. ”
"Every flood is the worst there?" Fan Tiancheng then asked.
When the old man thought of the flood, his face was ugly, and he pointed to a depression not far away and said, "The flood is all coming out, and the crops are ...... Ay! "At the end, I burst into tears, and it seems that I have experienced many floods.
Fan Tiancheng thought carefully, looked at the old man and said, "If the silt in the river is taken out and the low-lying areas are built with a dam, can the flood be rectified?" ”
"Humph!" The old man was very angry, looked at them unkindly, and said, "You only know how to enjoy glory and wealth, and when you care about the life and death of the people." ”
He then lowered his head and whispered, "I mentioned it to the official master, but every year I come to a few grandfathers to take a look, and I haven't seen a handful of them." ”
Fan Tiancheng was very surprised when he heard it, and turned his head to look at Ren Dayong, he would have heard that it would be allocated every year! found that Ren Xiaowu also opened his mouth wide, looking surprised, and he didn't seem to know the situation.
His face darkened when he thought of something, and he bowed down to the old man and said, "Thank you for telling me, someone will repair the embankment soon." ”
didn't wait for the old man to answer, he turned around and left, a nameless fire in his heart was rising.
They walked along the riverbank without speaking, just quietly checking the river.
Fan Tiancheng stopped, turned around and looked at it seriously, and said, "Uncle Ren, you should have a master in your hand, right?" ”
Ren Xiaowu opened his mouth in surprise, and he didn't know how to answer. He does have a dark guard team composed of acquired martial artists in his hands, which was formed by the old king himself.
There are a total of one thousand and eleven dark guards, consisting of one commander and ten innate martial master captains each leading one hundred and hundred Heavenly Martial Artists. Ren Xiaowu is the captain of the dark guard, so he can become the chief of the palace guard.
Fan Tiancheng took out a jade plaque with the word "dark" engraved on it.
When Ren Xiaowu saw it, he hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Captain of the tenth squad of the Dark Guard, see the commander." After speaking, he looked at it suspiciously, not understanding how the leader jade plate was on Fan Tiancheng.
Fan Tiancheng scratched his head in embarrassment and explained: "Grandpa originally wanted to give it to my father, but my father didn't want to live or die, so he could only deceive me while I was young and stuff it directly to me." ”
The father and son of the Ren family all lowered their heads, as if they hadn't heard. This Fan tradition is special, and Nioh was forced to ascend the throne.
Fan Tiancheng said solemnly: "Order the secret guards, the five-six-seven-eighty-ninety squad, secretly and thoroughly investigate Situ Zhao Li, Sima Qianshu, Sikong Sun Fu and Sikou Li Yan!" ”
He could only send these six squads, and the other squads either guarded the old king or the palace.
Ren Xiaowu looked up in surprise, saw the serious Fan Tiancheng, and immediately shouted heavily: "No!" ”
He took the token, stood up and asked cautiously, "All checks?" ”
Fan Tiancheng looked at the low-lying riverbank, nodded heavily and said, "Check it all, when will there be news?" ”
Ren Xiaowu also looked at the riverbank, knowing what the reason was, and said, "The general news will be there tonight, and the specific will be tomorrow." ”
"Go now!" Fan Tiancheng looked at the children playing in the river and said.
Ren Xiaowu was embarrassed, and said stubbornly: "Why don't you send your son back first?" ”
Fan Tiancheng waved his hand and said, "With Brother Yong here, it's not a big deal, it's still a serious matter." ”
He remembered that the money that should have been used for flood control and flood control had been embezzled, and his heart was full of anger. At this moment, there was a sudden wish to let the people eat and drink enough to live and work in peace and contentment.
Let the old man talk about Langya Country is not scolding, but proud; Let the children put on clean clothes and learn ......
An illusory Langya pattern suddenly appeared in his mind, although he didn't know what the reason was, but he understood that he had to do something for the people in order to have a greater harvest.
Fan Tiancheng turned around and said solemnly: "Uncle Ren, Brother Yong, now I can only believe in you." After saying that, he continued to check the riverbank and ignored it.
Ren Xiaowu looked at it seriously and said, "Changyong, you have to protect your son." ”
Ren Changyong nodded and said, "Father, hurry up, I'm here here." ”
Fan Tiancheng rode a horse, kept checking, and kept writing down in his mind. where the banks of the river need to be reinforced; where the excavation channel is required; Where do you need to clean up the silt......
A drawing was slowly formed in my mind, this is the plan for the management of the Yi River, and there are still many things that need to be modified.
He rode a horse and constantly visited the old man on the riverbank, gained experience, and summed up the most ideal management method.
The people on both sides of the river also noticed that two strange young men were constantly checking something by the river. At noon, they bought the bread of the people to satisfy their hunger, and when they drank it, they drank the water of the river.
The sun was setting quietly and the starry sky was beginning to twinkle. Two tired figures appeared in the palace, this is Fan Tiancheng and Ren Changyong.
The two of them inspected the riverbank and knew that it was dark before they had to return.
