After hearing this, Qi Kun thought to himself:

Jialu, Jialu River, Huimin River, remember that in ancient times, Chu and Han had agreed to divide the world by the chasm, the famous "chasm" in history is the Huimin River in Henan, and later named the Jialu River because of the Jialu dredging of the Yuan Dynasty.

Is the person in front of him Jia Lu, a famous water conservancy expert in the Yuan Dynasty?

Looking at the white-faced elder's pointed round helmet crown costume, it really looks like the official uniform of the Yuan Dynasty.

The more Qi Kun thought about it, the more confused he became, if it was said that this was Jialu in the management of the Yellow River flood, then he was undoubtedly transported to the Yuan Dynasty more than 600 years ago, thinking that the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty had frequent natural disasters, coupled with the peasant uprisings and wars, when the Mongolian nobles were insatiable, plundering and conquering, resulting in more than half of the Han casualties. That period of history can be described as the most tragic period of the Chinese nation.

Suddenly remembered that last night, when I met my mother in a dream, the two immortals asked me:

"Looking at the four seas, the yin energy is full, and the yang energy is weak, I hope you will invigorate the yang energy, and the earth will be full of vitality..."

Only then did it seem clear that he was indeed burdened with an extremely important mission by being crossed this time.

Qi Kun looked at the white-faced elder and said:

"Thank you very much for your trust! It is really the greatest blessing in this life to meet Master Jia here, to fight the flood together, and to do something meaningful for the Chinese nation that has suffered many disasters, and I will do my best to fight the flood and save the people with you. As for what you said about recommending to the imperial court, there is no need for it, and those fame and fortune are indeed not what our generation wants. ”

After hearing this, Jia Lu liked it more and more, and said:

"Well said, the future life is terrifying, as the so-called ambition is not old, listening to the words of the young man of Qi Kun, it is really embarrassing!"

"Childe, please take a good rest, and let someone bring you good medicinal food later, hoping to recover as soon as possible. Although the flood in Jindi has been temporarily controlled, the old man is still a little worried and needs to look around. ”

Jaru said, standing up.

Pray for Kun to give a gift:

"Lord Jia is worried about the country and the people, I pray that Kun is very respectful, I know that you have a heavy responsibility and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, please rest assured to be busy, I will report to you immediately if I am a little better here."

"Okay, please have a good rest, the old man will come to visit another day."

After that, he instructed the young man in the green shirt to serve Qi Kun left and right, without the slightest slack, and then turned around and led everyone out of the tent and left in a hurry.

In the fourth year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, he woke up early and recuperated for two days, and his head and body no longer felt pain.

After the young man in the green shirt waited to take the good medicinal food, he suddenly felt refreshed, and then slowly got up and freshened up, the young man in the green shirt took a white cloak and said to Qi Kun:

"Childe is getting frail at the beginning, and it's cold in the morning, please put it on."

Qi Kun took it with both hands and thanked him:

"Thanks to your careful care day and night, I was able to recover so quickly! May I also ask where the little brother is from, what do you call it? ”

"My name is Jia Mingyu, a name given by my uncle Jia Lu, because my parents died of illness at an early age, I have been following my uncle since I was a child. Listening to my uncle, it is rare to pray that Gongzi Kun has high ambitions and extraordinary courage, and he will let me serve Gongzi and learn more skills from you. The boy replied.

Qi Kun smiled and said:

"Okay, seeing that you are delicate and intelligent, young but knowledgeable, presumably Master Jia has taught well, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future."

When the young man saw that Qi Kun had agreed, he was very happy:

"If Childe needs anything in the future, please do whatever you want, Mingyu will do his best."

Qi Kun asked Mingyu to report to Jialu, saying that his health was fine and he could participate in the flood relief work. He paced and moved his muscles and bones in the tent alone, and he couldn't let go of many questions and worries in his heart.

Walking to the side of the couch, he opened the belongings that Mingyu had wrapped for himself, a pair of Qi Nan agarwood bracelets, and a Hetian Yu Ping'an buckle pendant, all of which were rare auspicious things that were passed down from ancestors to pray for blessings and peace, and then took them out and wore them properly.

After waiting for a while, before he saw Mingyu return, he strolled out of the tent.

In the barracks, the tents stationed high along the ridge by the river were blown by the wind, and many soldiers and migrant workers were rushing to the embankment carrying bags of dirt, trying to build and strengthen the embankment before the storm.

At this time, he saw Mingyu hurrying back from the shore, walked to the front and bowed down and said:

"Report to Gongzi, Lord Jia and the generals are rushing to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters, please also go and discuss together, can Gongzi be physically capable?"

"I'm healed, it's okay, you lead the way, and we'll get there."

Qi Kun followed Mingyu to the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw Najialu sitting upright in the middle, with more than a dozen civilian and military generals standing on both sides, all of them with solemn expressions and solemn expressions.

Qi Kun walked a few steps into the tent and bowed to Jialu:

"Pray for Kun, see Lord Jia."

Jia Lu raised his hand to excuse himself and continued to say to the crowd:

"Today, although the overflow gap and gap in the section of the golden embankment have been temporarily blocked and reinforced, but the heavy rain has caused the Yellow River to rise sharply, the banks are full of holes, and many executions have overflowed, houses have been washed away, and the people have been forced to live in exile, and even more have endangered the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Liangcaosi salt farm, we must come up with a better flood control plan, so that the people will suffer less disasters and the country will suffer less disasters. You have been responsible for flood control everywhere for many years, and you have a lot of experience. ”

Yin Gong, the capital of Huazhou, stepped forward and said:

"What Master Jia said is extremely true, the Yellow River overflows, thousands of miles of harm, soaking the city, floating rooms, bad crops, the people have been poisoned, so passively blocking the overflow to prevent trouble, the disaster will be endless, we should indeed discuss positive and feasible methods, in order to prevent future troubles."

Yin Jun from the front of the stage, Puyang, Fanxian, and Yanggu counties then stepped forward to second, full of worried sighs.

Seeing that everyone agreed with their own statement, but couldn't say a specific way for a long time, Jia Lu couldn't help but be angry and said:

"Wait for submissiveness and flattery, is now the time to be cautious in your words and deeds?"

Jia Lu looked at everyone angrily, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he caught a glimpse of Qi Kun standing in the crowd in white, his brows slightly furrowed as if he was thoughtful.

Immediately show your face:

"Pray for Kun Gongzi, what is the best plan?"

Qi Kunzheng recalled the records on the governance of the Yellow River in the historical materials he had read in the past, and when he saw Jia Lu asking, he replied after a moment of silence:

"Hui Jia, the flooding of the Yellow River has been the most difficult problem to deal with in all dynasties and generations since ancient times. On the one hand, the embankment was built on the north bank of the river, and on the other hand, the river was diverted to the east and the old course was restored. ”

"The project of controlling yellow is huge, and it needs to recruit a large number of strong laborers, and it also needs huge financial support to do it."

After a pause, Qi Kun continued.

Hearing this, Jia Lu perked up and said happily:

"As the hero has seen, the old man has recently inspected thousands of miles along the river, the flood is monstrous, and the mourning is all over the wilderness, and he is also thinking that he should unblock the congestion at the same time in order to cure the flood. Today, I heard what Mr. Kun said, and his thoughts became clearer. A few days later, the prince of Qi Kun asked him to go to Beijing with the old man to report to the imperial court, hoping to achieve the great cause of flood control in one fell swoop. ”

Qi Kun replied:

"It is the ambition of Qi Kun to make the people suffer less misery and return the land to a full of vitality, and I am willing to do my best to complete the great cause of controlling the Yellow River with everyone."

Jalu couldn't help laughing, and said to everyone:

"It's so well said, my generation works together, and the land is full of life."

Everyone was elated and ordered to go back one after another to strengthen the preparations for flood control and rescue.

Qi Kun was invited to join Jialu on a field trip along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, where the Yellow River has been flooded repeatedly, for thousands of miles, carefully surveying the terrain and drawing maps to find out the key points of the river's troubles.

After returning to Beijing, in view of practical problems, he reported to the imperial court the "Twenty Things of Caoyun", and put forward the "Two Strategies for River Governance":

First, it is proposed to build the north embankment to control the horizontal collapse, and the labor province will be used;

Second, the discussion of dredging and congestion at the same time, Banghe branch, so that the restoration of the old road, its work several times.

However, because the Ministry of Works, Shang Shu Chengzun, Dasi Nong Ballu and other manpower Chen Bu were resolutely opposed to the control of the river, the main reason was that the treasury was empty, the project was huge and difficult to complete, and at the same time, they were afraid that thieves and river pickers would gang up to riot, so that Jialu's proposal was not accepted.

Jia Lu and Qi Kun were helpless and left Dadu worriedly.

Traveling to the border of Henan, pray for Kun to say goodbye to Jialu:

"Lord Jia, the people have been ravaged by floods and wars, and the powerful people of the current dynasty are mediocre and corrupt, ignoring the suffering of the people of Limin. Nowadays, looking at the decline of yang qi in the four seas, it is painful. Today is goodbye, I will find a way to avoid misfortune and seek happiness for the people, so that this life will not be in vain. ”

Jia Lu's face was full of guilt, and he sighed:

"Listening to your words, it is better to read for ten years, pray that the young man is so benevolent and righteous, and cares about the common people in the world, and the old man has spent decades of inaction, ashamed! From now on, I should be called Mr. However, although this time the advice failed, I will not be discouraged, when the prime minister returns to Beijing, I will come again to ask him to play the Ming Shengshang Chen Qi, when the plan to control the Yellow River is approved, and please pray for Mr. Kun to help ah. ”

Qi Kun nodded in agreement, and then said goodbye and left.

Along the way, a large number of displaced people who have left their hometowns, abandoned their children and women, stripped trees and eaten the bark, and corpses are all over the field, and the situation is very miserable.

Qi Kun inquired about the people and learned that the prefectures and counties along the Yellow River, Jining, Shanzhou, Yucheng, Dangshan, Jinxiang, Yutai, Feng, Pei, Dingtao, Chuqiu, Wucheng, as well as Caozhou, Dongming, Juye, Yuncheng, Jiaxiang, Wenshang, Rencheng and other places were all seriously flooded, and the floods swallowed up the houses and farmland on both sides of the Yellow River, and countless people drowned, starved to death, and died of disease.

Qi Kun climbed to a high place and looked at it, and the miserable situation was even more shocking, and his heart couldn't help but be sad and unbearable, and his eyes were blurred with tears.

Although I have read many historical works on wars, natural disasters and other human tragedies, I have never seen it, and I never even thought that the flooding of the Yellow River would be so ferocious.

However, the powerful people of the dynasty only knew how to protect their immediate interests and rights, turned a blind eye, and even expropriated violently. Pity my Chinese sons and daughters who live so helplessly and so miserably, how can people not revolt and rebel? It is no wonder that the Mongol Khanate and the Great Yuan Dynasty, which conquered Asia, Africa and Europe, will collapse in the past few days!
