Three hundred and sixty, wooden dragon

She even moved her hands to drag logs and sandbags against the waves of the river embankment. The rain and the river beat people to the ground.

Lin Chaoge took a rough hemp rope, tied one end to her waist, and tied it with the others, in case one of them collapsed and was washed away, and because she was really afraid that she would be washed away.

Seeing Lin Chaoge taking the lead, everyone shouted, facing the wind and rain to fix the embankment, the rain has not stopped, and when the embankment is almost blocked, the disaster has dropped a few points, and Lin Chaoge, who is already exhausted, is surrounded by a small square world with his back against the door panel and soil. In the embarrassed posture of gasping for air, the petite body could even feel the water behind him blocking the surge, and was about to break through the embankment again.

She no longer has half the strength, her hands and feet are so out of strength that she can't lift the slightest strength, and even her ears are still shuttling; 'Come on, there's a few more little openings here. There is a need for manpower here. Ignoring it, the whole person was thinking about when the next breach would collapse, and from which one would be the breakthrough and when he would be swept away.

Hundreds of Yellow River men are busy, cutting wood and water, and the breach is dangerously blocked, but it is only one layer, and it needs to be continuously reinforced, otherwise the heavy rain will continue, and it may break again at any time, but the sight of the heavy rain is not very clear.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Yuzi had already brought the troops to come, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they were saved.

"Reinforcements are coming!!" The arrival of the forbidden army greatly exhilarated the upper and lower levels.

In the panic, some people even thought that they were going to die in the belly of the fish, and they were desperate to fight to the death, and in the end, it might be to fill the river, and now they were almost ecstatic when they saw so many sergeants coming.

The soldiers of the forbidden army selected the able-bodied, and many of them had served in the army for generations, and their physique was much stronger than that of ordinary river soldiers and Huanghefu.

But fortunately, their extremely tired people can rest for a while, The water was almost deep to Lin Chaoge's chest, she stood up straight from the muddy water tiredly, pulled the rope, and walked to the embankment on the side.

His legs were as heavy as tied to iron, Lin Chaoge was almost exhausted, and he fell to the ground, and there were many such people on the shore, and after exhaustion, he lay down in the mud to rest for a while, and then went back to fix the embankment.

By about a certain time, the water had receded. Even Xu Zhizi, who had been away for many days, came back, taking the water conservancy embankment he had surveyed, but it was too late, it was too late when he came back, Lin Chaoge even began to resent Xu Zhizi in his heart, if he came back earlier, would this not happen, the embankment would not be decided, and even people would not die.

She knew that she was on the tip of the horns, but she couldn't help but think about it, if Xu Shizi came back earlier, earlier.

Is it true that this is not going to happen?

The two of them were sitting in the military tent at this time, the mouth of the embankment outside had been completely blocked, Huang Haifu and the military tax were so tired that they slept on the ground, and even the dark clouds in the sky that had been coiled in the sky for most of the month were dispersed, and a touch of pure and snow-white fish belly rolled out of the sky, and the people lying on the ground were tired and ruthless, and after a while, the person who delivered the food was about to come.

Xu Zhizi and Lin Chaoge came face to face, full of guilt; "It's the old man who is a step late, I'm sorry."

"It's useless to talk too much, but now there is any way to appease the people." Lin Chaoge didn't sleep for a day and a night, coupled with excessive physical exertion, her whole face showed the blue and white color of spring bamboo shoots, and there was a big bowl of brown sugar ginger water on the table to ward off the cold for her, and even the clothes on her body were deep winter clothes.

Lin Chaoge poured a large mouthful of spicy brown sugar ginger water and said; "The water level of the Luo River is still rising, although the breach of the embankment has been blocked, the casualties are also severe, not to mention who started it, it is rumored that the water dragon king is angry because of the traitor cholera in the court, they will all die here, I suspect that there are villains who intend to provoke trouble." Lin Chaoge frowned and tightened her brows, the flood and water conservancy are easy to manage, but she is a little clueless about the ignorant people, and her actions have always been simple and rude, and the current situation is even more unfavorable to her need to gather manpower.

Xu Shizi closed his eyes and recalled, and said: "When I traveled to the countries of Zhouyuan, I had read an old book, during the previous dynasty, the area of the Holy Mother River of Qingyang Country continued to rain for a whole month, and the embankment was killed and injured countless times. ”

"Later?"

"Then it was the people who came to sleep day and night who were swept away by the river that burst its banks." Xu Shizi recalled the final outcome when he read the book, and still couldn't help but feel sparse, if the water control officer didn't sleep that night that day, but continued to follow Huang Hefu to resist the flood, maybe the situation would be another possibility.

"Oh, that's a pity?" Although he couldn't help but sigh, Lin Chaoge immediately understood the meaning, his eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there was such a method, but it was not spread far away, and it was not widely used, not to mention that this plan could break the root of rumors and appease the people.

"Lord Xu can still remember the shape of the wooden dragon." Lin Chaoge took out a pen and paper and handed it over.

Xu Shizi never forgot it, and when he recalled it, he drew a picture, while Lin Chaoge continued to hold the sea bowl bigger than his face

Drinking hot ginger soup, from the stomach to the heart, it was this smell that really stimulated her a little unbearable.

The wooden dragon needs to be tied into a nine-layer wooden row with logs, and then hang the vertical wood, tie it with bamboo ropes, and place it on the bank to carry water and brush sand, which is more effective than the embankment. The wooden row is long, also named dragon, and it was also made for the town river in ancient times.

Although Lin Chaoge didn't believe in ghosts and gods, she had to believe in ghosts and gods, but she knew that when this name spread, the people would be more at ease, and they would have time to free up their hands to investigate other people who spread rumors and misled the public.

Xu Shizi drew the position and style of the river embankment and the wooden dragon clearly, it was not complicated, and the craftsman saw that as long as the wood was felled, it could be tied quickly. Xu Shizi stood on the shore and muttered for a while, and then said: "Although it has sunken up today, the water is still fierce, if the wooden dragon can't go down, I'm afraid we will have to go to the city to get an iron anchor." ”

"I'll ask someone to arrange this." After getting the drawings, Lin Chaoge hurriedly ordered people to light a fire all night to make wooden dragons, while others continued to carry sand and gravel to resist the breaking of the embankment and open a canal to divert water.

When the upper and lower clubs heard that the two officials from Beijing were going to make 'Wooden Dragon' Zhenhe, they were extremely excited and felt mysterious, and they only hoped that they would do a good job as soon as possible, and that the river demon under the water would no longer make waves, so that they could receive the reward money and go back.

The sergeants tied up the wooden dragon overnight, put it aside and waited for the day to enter the water again, and with excitement, the Yellow River Husband and the River Pawn each bundled bamboo slices and wheat straw, and tied them on the horizontal wood of the wooden dragon, adding scales to its bravery.

When the morning sun rises on the second day, the water surface is sparkling, and a red oil egg heart flows out of the shell of the blue salted duck egg.

The powerful Huang Hefu carried the majestic and majestic, colored, and red silk wooden dragons in the river, and saw the wooden dragons go deep into the water, and the water potential was brushed away by the dragon body and the dragon scales on it, and the speed visible to the naked eye slowed down, and they did not know the underwater situation. The principle is that the wooden dragon really suppressed the water potential and let out cheers, and even today's sun is a little sunny, and when the sun comes out, it indicates the evaporation of water, the decline of the river level, and the sanitation after the flood also needs to be paid attention to.

Lin Chaoge showed relief on his face, this wooden dragon is really more effective than ordinary embankments, and even crying with joy and hugging everything, just waiting for the water level to drop.

"Okay, now I will order someone to make a few more and send them to other villages along the river to shake the river god, and we will continue to dig the river canal with the soil and embankment." Lin Chaoge put his hands behind him and ordered, and no one would doubt her decision, because it was last night, it was the thin and even slightly feminine-looking official in front of him who resisted the flood with them while analyzing the collapse of the embankment.

The people who were originally very sad and even worried that the embankment would break all the time were infinitely energetic at this time, and they were protected by wooden dragons, where were they still afraid.

When it was close to noon, Lin Chaoge returned to the tent, although his face was full of illness, and his body was so thin that he might faint in the next second, he did not hide his joy at all.

Seeing that Xiao Yuzi in the tent had not left, he happily told him, but he also knew that after the flood was over, he would rush back to Chang'an to report the matter.

"It's good to work." Xiao Yuzi lowered her head and thought about it, and reached out to wipe a little wet mud from her nose; "The flood in Zhangzhou will not be solved in a few days, and this king cannot stay in Beijing for too long." Some people who were quite disgusted pinched and raised for a long time before they grew back some meat, and only after arriving in Zhangzhou did they lose weight again; "When this king is away, take good care of yourself, and don't come back with some inconsistencies."

"What's not going to be three?"

"Xiao Yanyan is so smart, naturally he understands it himself."

“???”

"It's getting late, and I have to go."

"Okay, stay safe all the way." Seeing that Xiao Yuzi had made up her mind, Lin Chaoge didn't mean to stop her, not to mention that she was going to return to Beijing soon, so why be in a hurry to linger for a while.

Lin Chaoge hugged Xiao Yuzi's neck, stood on tiptoe and raised his head and kissed him again; "See you in Beijing."

Xiao Yuzi was slightly stunned, then smiled, lowered her head and kissed the red little mouth; "See you in Beijing."

Since Xiao Yuzi left, she just took Cha Sheng alone, leaving Cha Ge by her side to share her worries.

The flood in Zhangzhou has been solved, Lin Chaoge now has to start preparing for the post-disaster sanitation situation and post-disaster reconstruction, and Xu Zhizi is leading people to build and strengthen the new embankment, and everything is developing for the better.

At the same time, a hundred-mile urgent letter had already been sent to the Zhangzhou area and went straight to Chang'an.

At the court meeting of the daily column, Bai Qingxing, who was dressed in golden yellow embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon and wore a crown of twelve crowns, threw the letter from Liangzhou under the court, and his face was full of monstrous anger that could not be concealed by anger.
