In this changing twilight of autumn, when all kinds of people in Chang'an City appeared one after another, facing perhaps the most important choice in their lives, what many people didn't expect was that Changle Hou Yuanzhao, who was supposed to be in the whirlpool, was not in Chang'an.

Since the beginning of autumn, several heavy rains have caused rivers to overflow, causing flooding disasters in many counties and counties in the world, and serious losses for the people. Although the imperial court urgently issued an order to mobilize for disaster relief, the concerted efforts of the military and civilians, coupled with the mobilization of a large number of materials, effectively alleviated the disaster and did not cause a tragic situation of starvation. But after all, the disaster is serious, and some follow-up measures dare not be negligent in the slightest, so the chief officials of various counties and counties are busy these days. The responsibility is on your shoulders, don't dare to slack off.

Like many places in the world, several counties near Chang'an were also severely affected. The abundant water system of "eight rivers around Chang'an" is a very convenient mode of transportation in ordinary times, running through the east and west, crisscrossing the north and south, creating favorable conditions for Chang'an to become the center of the world.

However, there are pros and cons to things in the world. Whenever there is heavy rain and the Jingwei water system swells, these large and small rivers that surround Chang'an City pose a great threat to the people living here.

There have been many severe floods in history. Needless to say, in those turbulent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters were not to mention. Even in the most peaceful years of the Han Dynasty, it flooded several times for hundreds of miles, displacing countless people and destroying their homes.

The most recent one happened when Son of Kinko had just ascended the throne. The huge flood of that year is still fresh in the memory of some people of the age. They've all experienced that horrific scene firsthand. Fire and water are merciless, devouring everything, and when the turbid waves of water come overwhelmingly, manpower is extremely small, and there is almost no power to parry.

Lantian County, a suburb of Chang'an, passes through the largest section of the Wei River. During this period, the people of the whole county, under the personal leadership of the county commander, conscientiously and actively prepared for disasters, patrolling the Baili River day and night. Although there were a few small dangers, there were also certain losses. But compared to the disastrous consequences elsewhere, it is already a blessing in misfortune.

There are rods and scales between heaven and earth, and justice is at ease in people's hearts. The people's eyes are bright, and protecting the safety of their homes is neither the kindness of God nor the enlightenment of the gods and emperors...... What stops and defuses the mighty flood beast is nothing more than a few ordinary dikes and water diversion canals.

The three counties of Chang'an are criss-crossed, and a total of seven or eight canals have been opened over the years. Among them, the largest water diversion and the most play a huge role are the "Longshou Canal".

This canal can be regarded as the first opened canal in the Jingwei water system, and it has been endowed with deep feelings in the impression of the locals in Chang'an. Many of them, or their departed parents, had sweated when they first dug the canal. And over the years, I have enjoyed the countless conveniences it brings.

At this moment, when the rain finally stopped, the wind rose, rolling the dark clouds, on the embankment in the northern section of the riverbank, several elderly people, looking at a large group of people who gradually came from not far away to inspect the costumes of the Han officials, and there were many emotions in their hearts.

"That year, Lord Ji Huang and Lord Yao personally led everyone to dig ditches and carry soil, and the hot scene is still vivid...... It's just a pity that these adults have become ancient, and things are wrong, which is embarrassing...... Alas! ”

"Yes! The old man is also a person who has experienced it himself. It is this section of the embankment under our feet, this large section of the embankment, which is built with the soil and stone of the excavation of the Longshou Canal, and it is the invention of the little marquis, poured with cement, which can be described as extremely solid. Looking back today, the surprise in the hearts of the big guys at that time was really fresh and tight! Ha ha! ”

"Lao Zhang, don't sigh for the deceased. Those adults have left such feats, and they are very missed in the hearts of the people. Presumably, when they left, they had no regrets in their hearts...... And Lao Li, why is it still the little marquis and the little marquis screaming in your mouth! ”

Speaking of this, the old man who interjected, stroked his gray beard, looked at a few people with surprised and questioning looks on their faces, and then looked up at the vague figure not far away who was standing on higher ground and watching the water situation surrounded by a large group of people. A smile of anticipation and mystery rippled across the corners of his mouth.

"A few adults who have become ancient are naturally worth remembering. But these young people who are going to be the chief officials now, it seems that they are also very good to look at their dedication to the safety of the people...... Especially the Marquis of Yuan, who now has such a huge reputation, he can even personally set foot in the muddy water to investigate the disaster regardless of his identity when the imperial court is in full charge...... If such a person can truly grasp the authority to manage the common people in the world, then it is really the well-being of everyone......! ”

Several old men suddenly realized that they nodded in admiration. As he turned his gaze in that direction, he saw that among the thousands of people, the young man who was not wearing official clothes but only wearing a green shirt pointed out the mountains and rivers in the dark clouds, and his expression was indifferent.

In two days, Yuan Zhao walked through all the sections of the river that were prone to water conditions. After grasping the first-hand information, he found that it was not as bad as expected, and he finally put his mind at ease.

No one knows better than him the horrors of flooding. He didn't want to destroy the good situation that he had worked so hard to form for so long because of the destruction of natural disasters.

The so-called natural disasters and man-made disasters, in the final analysis, are only due to insufficient preparation measures. As long as everything is taken into account, Yuan Zhao believes that even if he encounters the worst situation, he can calmly deal with it and get through it.

Man-made disaster, he has already arranged everything behind. For example, if the two armies face each other, they just see the move. And when he stood on the bank of the Wei River, looking at the countless admiring eyes and the people who were ready to obey his call and act, a great confidence arose.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs! I believe you all have your own different understandings of what Lao Tzu said. And my understanding is that if there is really a god in the dark, then he must be an old man who loves to mess around. This old man will change the clouds and rain at any time according to the good or bad of his temper...... Hehe! Therefore, when we encounter him with a bad temper, it is useless to complain. The sky is high and the earth is far away, and this old man with his ears behind his ears may not be able to hear the weak voices of all beings in the Nether Realm at all. His frolicking and foolishness sometimes cause no kind of disaster, let alone any consideration...... So what should we, as mortals, and the administrators of the court who are responsible for the fate of countless people? ”

Yuan Zhao's eyes were blazing, looking at the many young faces around him who were listening carefully, and his tone was a little emotional. One of the reasons why he put aside the current complicated situation in Chang'an and personally led these students of Chang'an College who are about to go to different positions to serve as officials of different departments to go on this trip is that he thinks this is an excellent opportunity.

As an official on the herdsmen's side, the so-called serving the country and the people is just an empty slogan. However, it is difficult to have a standard for how to do it and to what extent it is qualified. Yuan Zhao very much hopes that these young students, who have received some of his ideological edification to a certain extent, can realize the great responsibility on their shoulders from these difficulties in people's livelihood, so as to touch their deep conscience.

The carving of jade needs to start from the first knife. Yuan Zhao didn't want that he had spent so much effort and even did not hesitate to use bloody means to clean up a batch of moths and take over a batch of moths.

"Please instruct the Marquis of Yuan!"

A young man named Sang Hongyang stepped out of the crowd and bowed down. He is the best of this group of people, at the beginning, as a low-level official, because of fate, he will be particularly appreciated by Yuan Zhao, and personally recommended it to Chang'an College Da Sacrificial Wine Dong Zhongshu, and now he has learned and is about to serve as the chief official of the Shaofu, in charge of the world's animal husbandry, forestry, fishery, agriculture and commerce, which can be described as a very important position.

Yuan Zhao nodded, his eyes were very relieved. This batch of more than 20 young talents who are about to embark on different positions are all carefully selected people with both ability and political integrity after strict assessment. By filling the vacancy in the court some time ago, I believe that they will be able to play an active role in the shortest possible time and make the whole situation look new.

"If you want me to say, there is no immortal savior in this world, and there is no great sage and virtue of universal sentient beings...... Anyone who is different from us is first and foremost a human being, and every life is equal...... Everything that each of us has created through our own efforts belongs to us and should be under our own control...... Property, life, and home cannot be taken away for any reason! Power can't, heaven and earth can't, natural disasters and man-made disasters, let alone ......! ”

In the depths of the firmament, dark clouds rolled. Up and down the river, the waves are whirlwind. Yuan Zhao's clear and powerful voice resounded in everyone's heart. The hearts of countless people were pounding, and they raised their heads in disbelief, with shock, confusion, uneasiness, and irrepressible ecstasy ......on their faces.

Yuan Zhao took a deep breath, facing the direction of the wind, and spread his arms, as if to meet the rain of bullets and arrows shooting from where he couldn't see. Today, for the first time, he finally spoke his deep thoughts in public!

This deafening voice appeared thousands of years before the supremacy of imperial power. There is a young man who has pointed out a clear direction for the entire Chinese nation and this vast land.

Of course, the future is unpredictable, and this is a difficult choice ......!
