Chapter 568: Open the Gate and Release the Water

The rice fields are neatly organized, and the canals that divide the rice fields into neat squares have a very shallow layer of water flowing inside.

The inside of the rice field is also moist, and it stands to reason that the soil in the rice field should have dried up and cracked a long time ago, not only did it not crack, but it was also silt with a lot of moisture.

What the Donglin Party and Jin Shang didn't know was that Zhu Shun had been using the reservoir to release water on a small scale for a long time.

Although it is only a small-scale release, it is enough to ensure the water supply of all rice fields in Miyun County, and ensure that the crops in the rice fields and the potatoes in the dry land can grow normally.

The drought is about to be at its worst, and not only the crops in the fields will need water, but also the common people.

Zhu Shun decided to completely open the sluice gates of the Miyun Reservoir and let the broken Chaohe River flow again, so as to ensure the draft of the people along the river.

As long as the floodgates are opened and the water is released, it can not only ensure the draft of the common people, but also make the Donglin Party give up the protection of the four Jin merchants.

In this way, Chongzhen was able to send Sun Chuanting to raid the Manmen of the Wang family, one of the four major Jin merchants, and confiscate all the grain to help the victims.

On the official road.

Chongzhen and the civil and military officials followed the official road to the vicinity of the Miyun Reservoir.

In the distance, a tall building of iron-reinforced concrete suddenly appeared, and it was instantly shocked by the hill-like barrage.

When did Chongzhen and the civil and military officials ever see a barrage dam that looks like a whole mountain wall, it is like a big mountain lying there, extremely magnificent.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the last sentence is magical.

Before Zhu Shun left for the capital, he had already prepared everything and the steam engine had already started.

With just one order, the crown prince Zhu Cihong, who was standing on the barrage dam, was able to lift the heavy gate little by little through the joystick.

Zhu Shun walked to the side of Luanjia, looked at Chongzhen, who was speechless, and looked at the iron-reinforced concrete barrage dam in the distance in amazement.

Zhu Shun smiled flatly: "Your Majesty, do you want to open the floodgates?" ”

Chongzhen was holding a Western clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and was looking at the barrage dam made of reinforced concrete, and he had already seen the giant gate made of reinforced concrete.

Such a huge gate is no longer something that can be raised by manpower, it is too huge.

Chongzhen and the civil and military officials had only one thought in their minds, and the only one who could raise the giant gate was the heavenly gods.

Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little more excited when he heard Zhu Shun's sentence about whether he wanted to open the floodgate, and he could open the floodgate that the gods could hold up with an order.

Wouldn't it be that the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court was good at fighting, and he could command the gods of heaven to open it is not something that human beings can do.

Chongzhen thought that he could open the giant gate with an order, and the excitement on his face was already overflowing, and he was also seen by Zhu Shun.

Zhu Shun couldn't help but smile, this is what he deliberately wants to do, so that Chongzhen has a sense of participation can make him appreciate the power of the industrial revolution.

Chongzhen changed his sitting posture, stood on top of Luanjia, and said in a majestic voice: "Open the floodgates." ”

When this order fell, Zhu Shun immediately asked the iron tower man around him to pass on the news as quickly as possible, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong, who had been waiting on the barrage dam for a long time, immediately started the steam engine.

"Boom—"

With a deafening roar of machinery, the winch on the barrage dam was driven by the Daming steam engine, and then an extremely shocking scene occurred in front of the civil and military officials.

The giant gate actually rose up little by little and was pulled up.

The giant gate has actually risen!

Chongzhen, who was standing on Luan's car, watched the giant gate really rise, and his mood was not only shocked, but also a strong excitement that the civil and military officials could not experience.

With an order, the floodgates opened, and he was the Jade Emperor of this world.

Even more shocking was still to come, as the sluice gate rose, the water in the Miyun Reservoir rushed out like a flood.

Fortunately, the river near the gate was all made of cement, and it was not washed away by this flood, and the flood was tamed through the Handong.

It turned into a gentle stream of water and flowed down the tank into the nearby tide river.

The tide river, which had dried up and cracked, was immediately filled with water, and the water level of the riverbed kept rising.

At the same time, the water in the Miyun Reservoir flowed down the Chaohe River to the lower downstream, as if a dragon lord had really been invited to inject water from the four seas into the Chaohe River.

The river flows rapidly, moistening the land on both sides of the river, drawing a crystal curve on the arid land.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military preparations created a flood out of thin air, all of them were speechless, and looked at the crystal tide river flowing away in a trance.

Chongzhen looked at the flowing tide river, which was in completely different contrast with the arid land on both sides, and he was also a little speechless in a trance.

There is only one thought in my heart, natural disasters can really be resisted by manpower!

Chongzhen and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu watched in a daze for a long time, and they never came to their senses, just watching the river flow away in a trance.

Standing on the barrage dam, the crown prince Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu and others also saw this scene for the first time, since the Miyun Reservoir was completed, this is the first time that the floodgates have been officially opened.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu and others were also in a trance, standing on the barrage dam, they could better understand how turbulent the flood released by the sluice gate was than the civil and military officials below.

I really feel like I'm a god, and I just pulled the lever and released the flood.

This is not yet a god, what is a god.

This is not the end, Zhu Shun decided to invite Chongzhen to go to the barrage dam and let him see the real scenery on the barrage.

The sluice gates of the barrage dam are only a small gap, which is very small for the entire Miyun Reservoir, and it is not known when the water of the Miyun Reservoir will be completely drained.

Without a year and a half of effort, don't think about it, this is also the original intention of building the reservoir.

If all the water is released at once, it will not be to alleviate the drought and irrigate the land on both banks, but to release a flood.

Only in this way can we continuously release water to nourish the land on both sides of the river, so that the people and crops have water to eat.

Zhu Shun walked to Luan's side, smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go to the barrage dam to take a look." ”

Chongzhen has long wanted to take a look, just standing on top of the barrage dam is equivalent to standing on top of the flood, which is inevitably a little dangerous.

I was worried that Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang, would stop him and stop him, the son of the Ming Dynasty, from putting himself in danger, after all, the Son of Heaven could not go to such a dangerous place.
