The Yellow River has not been diverted to the south, and the two Huai water networks have not been eroded by the rolling yellow sand, so it can be said that the flood management situation faced by the Lu Qi Dynasty is better than that of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in history.

Similarly, in the financial budget expenditure of the Lu Qi Dynasty in recent years, a large amount of money has been spent on river affairs. For the governance of the river, Lu Qian and his ministers never dared to relax at all.

But even so, even in the current era, Lu Qichao has done the best in river affairs, but compared to the heavy rain day after day in the middle of summer this year, Wuzi can't resist it.

From the beginning of the rainy season until now, the continuous lewd rain in the Jiangnan area is falling all over the sky, and God seems to be crazy, and it rains vigorously. The water level of many important waterways, such as the Yangtze River, the Xiangjiang River, and the Ganjiang River, has risen sharply, and the size of the mouth has been reduced by ten executions. The canals and their tributaries had changed their old appearance, and the murky waters roared, roared, roared, and rushed away, rolling in mud, dust, leaves, and the corpses of men and animals, crashing against the banks of the river, and from time to time there were terrifying whirlpools on the surface of the river.

Lu Qian was already preparing to make a move against the Celestial World, although it was not a land war, but only an offensive on the waterway - he had to first establish a few consolidated bridgeheads in the Celestial World, so as to deter the entire Celestial World, rather than immediately attacking the Seljuk Empire and the Fatimid Dynasty.

The Primordial Alliance gang is still brewing. Although there were secret contacts with the Sikpchak Khanate and the Seljuks, and some people were active in private, it was clear that those people had not completely forgotten the strength of Lu Qi's army.

Lu Qian has a very detailed information in his hand, and he has already divided the dozens of clan leaders there into three, six, nine and so on, who should be damned, and who is any by Lu Qian, it is very clear. After the army sweeps the heavens in the future, someone will always have to fill such a large territory, and it is just right to go with these duties! The vacated territory is also just right for him to settle his son.

But now he is most concerned about not these, but the disaster situation in the north and south of the Central Plains. The drought in the north and the flood in the south, and whether there may still be hidden dangers of locust plague after the drought, and whether there is still the possibility of disease after the flood, the energy of the entire Lu Qi Dynasty is concentrated inside.

In the middle of the night, the Jinling Imperial City is still brightly lit, and there are rows of palace guards on duty at night outside the Xuande Pavilion, and the inside is even more crowded. A candle with the thickness of an arm's arm illuminates the Xuande Pavilion, which is as bright as day.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, Lu Qian didn't raise his head, his eyes continued to look at the fold that Suzhou had just presented, and he was in a bad mood.

Suzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake, with flat terrain, dense water networks, criss-crossed rivers, and tens of thousands of rivers at all levels in the territory; There are many lakes, and there are more than 300 large and small lakes.

It can be said that it is one of the most serious areas in the south of the Yangtze River this time, many houses in the territory have been soaked in water for half a month, or even longer, even if the economic foundation of this generation is better, it is impossible for the people's houses to completely bid farewell to adobe houses, to a clean brick house. As soon as they were soaked in the water, the adobe houses had already collapsed, and no one dared to live in even some brick houses.

A large number of people poured into the city, taking Suzhou as an example, the large and small schools in the city were already full, and even the temples and Taoist temples were also full of refugees. There was enough food in the city, clean drinking water and medicine to prevent epidemics [at the level of the era], and social order was maintained quite well, but this did not mean that the magistrate's task was easy.

The great plague will be followed by a great plague. Lu Qian is not an immortal, no matter how vigorously he vigorously develops medicine, An Daoquan's ability is a bug, and the current medical practitioners and medical level of Lu Qi Dynasty are far from comparable to those in his previous life.

The corpses of people and animals after death in the flood cannot be buried in time, and the weather is hot and the humidity is also very high at this time, so it is inevitable to cause epidemics. The contamination of water sources is worse than the harm of corpses. In addition, a large number of people gather together, and sewage, feces, garbage and other domestic filth accumulate into mountains, causing mosquitoes to run rampant and spread diseases. The common people are prone to enteritis, dysentery, cholera and other diseases. That's a fatal thing in this day and age!

Furthermore, how could a magistrate have only an eye on the city? In the vast rural areas outside the city, the relocation and resettlement of the people affected by the disaster, and the losses of population, property, housing, and so on, all require a painstaking effort to count.

What Lu Qian is looking at now is the preliminary statistics sent by Suzhou, and the loss in it is so big, it is no wonder that he can be happy!

"What's the matter, say!"

Le He should go up and talk to the comer, Lu Qian didn't really hear it, but it didn't mean that he didn't care.

"Your Majesty, it's an excerpt from Muzhou. The heavy rain in the local area continued for days. As a result, the water of the Lanxi and Anjiang rivers in the territory has risen sharply, and the second water has risen by three inches a day, and the confluence has risen by more than two feet a day......"

As soon as the music and the words fell, the entire Xuande Pavilion was silent.

Muzhou, Muzhou City is at the confluence of Lanxi and Anjiang, the two rivers are combined into one is the Fuchun River, and then the Qiantang River is down.

"Muzhou Taishou is?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Lu Ren."

"What did he say?" Lu Qian then asked. This excerpt was handed directly to Xuande Pavilion, and it was by no means just a statement about the danger in Muzhou.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Muzhou is too worried that this rain will continue to fall, endangering the safety of the river embankment there. The Shenquan Town Dam on the south bank of the confluence has not yet been completed, and I am afraid that it will not be able to bear it. Therefore, it was proposed to open a breach in the upper reaches of the An River to divide the water and reduce the flood. ”

Shenquan Town is the Shenquan Prison in the Zhao and Song dynasties, and it is one of the copper and iron money prisons in the Zhao and Song dynasties. After Lu Qi was established, he abandoned the use of coinage elsewhere, and if so, there was Shenquan Town.

The so-called water reduction dam is a flood diversion dam. That is, an additional overflow facility built on the side of the river. When the flood rises, dams are used to divert the flood water from the river to overflow elsewhere, protect the downstream embankments, and prevent or alleviate the danger.

"What? Breaking the mouth and dividing the flood, is this the proposition of Muzhou Taishou? Lu Qian's face darkened a little.

Half a month ago, the water level in Jingzhou was high, and some people proposed to divide the flood at other execution ports, although the situation did not deteriorate to that point in the end, however, as soon as this incident came out, the whole southern country was furious, and they were afraid that this flood would not continue, and one day such a difficult situation would also fall on their heads. asked Lu Qian to announce to the world through the "News" and repeatedly assured that this matter would never happen. The imperial court will never abandon the people of other places for the sake of the safety of one place......

But now, this Muzhou Taishou Lu Ren wants to do the opposite.

Lu Qian's eyes roamed among the people below, fixed on Cheng Wanli, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry at the time, and did not give himself a polite attitude to his cheap father-in-law, and said bluntly: "Cheng Wanli." ”

"The minister is here."

"You are the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, you say, how is the decision of Muzhou Taishou?" Tao Zongwang and many other old people from Liangshan went to Tianzhu at the moment, and Lu Qian gave them a chance to hold money. Cheng Wanli also successfully entered the cabinet after being transferred to the governor of many places.

"I remember that your Ministry of Industry once boasted that the water control in the south of the Yangtze River can withstand a century-old flood, but why, now the embankment in the Muzhou section can't bear it? The magistrates have already made up their minds to divert the flood water, what do you think? ”

Shut up what he once said in the news, but if he didn't say it, others wouldn't think of it? Otherwise, why could the excerpts of the Muzhou Taishou be handed all the way to Xuande Pavilion?

What can Cheng Wanli say? He's also MMP in his heart. The dam was the first project to be built after he took office, and the reason was to ensure the safety of Muzhou, but who knew that the rain would come so quickly. How good is that until next year?

On the side, this also highlights whether he is 'right'. But now that the emperor is facing a slap in the face, he is 'right' and a fart!
