Chapter 125: Destroying the embankment
"Jing Du, but there are other ways to return to Beijing, we don't have much time, so we can't delay. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
There was silence in the car for a moment, and then asked, after all, he left Beijing this time to escort the envoy of Jingguo back to Beijing safely, and if he was delayed here, maybe those old stubborns in the court would shout and fight again.
When the sergeant who was called Jing Du heard this, he hurriedly took out the map and searched carefully on it, "In addition to this road, there is also An Yuan next door to Ningyuan who can go over, but it will take us five more days from there, and now that there is a flood, no one can say whether we can go there." ”
"In this way, you send someone to rush to Anyuan, and we are waiting for news here.
If the road can be crossed, we will bypass from Anyuan, if not, we will wait for Ning Yuan to repair the bridge. ”
Yun Hou's mind turned quickly, after all, he was a person who had gone through strong winds and waves, and this little thing was not enough to make him panic.

"What's going on?" Mo Qian was helping an old man carry things out of the house just now, and he didn't hear the commotion outside.
"Xiaomo County Order, there is a flood on the big river, such a big water, according to this situation, it will soon rush to the county, you ...... Hide. A man who failed to cross the bridge said.
"Yes, get out of the way, the flood is coming." The people around him also said together.
"How so? It's only been raining overnight! No, with the embankment that has been reinforced every year, NY County is not so easy to flood, unless there is an accident with the embankment. Mo Qian said.
At this mention, the people woke up from the panic of the flood.
Yes, how can such an embankment be so easy to get into trouble?
It's just that I haven't encountered such a big flood for many years, and I can't do it in a panic, so I didn't think of this problem.
"That's right, I just saw that the flood water seeped through the protective wall of the levee, and there were holes in some places."
"Yes, I saw it too, it's the embankment that has an accident."
"So what now?" The crowd is still six gods and no masters.
"Well, you guys find a dry place to rest first, and I'll check it out first."
…………
…………
Mo Qian led a group of officials to the high place near the embankment and looked down the mountain.
I saw that a small section of the protective wall in the river had been washed away by the flood, and now a steady stream of floodwater was flowing in through the breach.
The surrounding fields have all been washed away, and if the flood is allowed to develop like this, the grain production of the entire Ningyuan will be greatly reduced.
When the time comes, not to mention paying taxes, even the people's own food and clothing will become a problem.
Famine is a sure thing, and even more serious is the famine among the surrounding people.
Maybe under the encouragement of someone with a heart, even the things that hit the government can be done.
"My lord, our river embankment has been washed away, and I'm afraid it's not going to be a good time this year."
Xu Jing wiped the rain on his face, and said in a daze, the originally good fertile land has all become a vast sea overnight, which is difficult for anyone to accept.
"What are we going to do?"
Mo Qian was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised his head, "Xu Jing, call the young people in the county, we ...... Go build an embankment. ”
Mo Qian is a peaceful person, but he has never been a person who accepts his fate.
If the situation is really allowed to develop, the consequences are really unimaginable.
Hmph, don't you just want us to make it unbearable? Forced me to be in a hurry, even if it was God, I would dare to fight.
The method of fighting floods, even if Mo Qian has not personally operated it, has heard of it.
Moreover, in middle school, the flood control theory in those geography classes gave him some confidence, thanks to the cramming education!
In fact, in ancient times, there were already certain flood prevention and control measures, and some laws were also introduced.
For example, Kim's "River Defense Order" clearly indicates the flood season of each river system, and river defense officials take turns to "guard the rise".
In addition, government agencies will send officials to the river embankment to maintain and inspect along the river.
In case of emergency, you can also apply to the superior for rescue matters.
But now the flood came too suddenly, and Mo Qian didn't have time to react.
So these methods are useless at all.
The most primitive way to control water is to ------ blockage.
Think about the past, when Dayu's father controlled the water, the flood all over the land was blocked by him for more than ten years.
Although it was the symptom that led to the murder in the end, it is not unreasonable.
At least for now, what Mo Qian needs most is to plug the gap in the protective embankment.
The young men in the county were quickly summoned, and Mo Qian quickly assigned the task, and the young men were responsible for bringing sacks and sand to plug the gap.
Mo Qian specially asked someone to get a thick rope to tie everyone together, so that no one would be swept away by the flood.
The elderly, women and children are ready to help these people pull ropes, first aid and cook.
By the time these orders are assigned, things will be less complicated.
Mo Qian stood by and watched as they slowly blocked the embankment, and bales of sand were thrown down the shore.
The effect is obvious, and the water in the gap is slowly reduced.
"Whew...... Fortunately, it was discovered in time and did not cause a greater disaster. Mo Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
And after everyone saw the effect, they gradually came out of the panic.
On the hill not far away, in a position that Mo Qian couldn't see, there were a few people who had been staring at this place.
Seeing Mo Qian assigning work in an orderly manner, his face was a little ugly.
The face of one of the middle-aged men with a hooked nose was even colder, and his eyes looked directly at the rest of the people.
"What are you doing? Didn't you say that it was done? Now you see, that's what you're doing. ”
Those few people hurriedly bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.
"Mr. He, we have already dug a big hole in the river embankment last night, and divided more than half of the flood, according to this amount of water, it will definitely not wash away Master Liu's mansion, you can rest assured."
"Hmph, you said you wouldn't rush if you didn't rush? Don't you know what kind of noble identity our lord is, and don't you know what mansion he built?
The former squire of the Ministry of Works, a dignified and upright official, if you collide with his old man, you will not be able to compensate for ten heads. ”
Eagle Hook Nose said with a sneer.
"Yes, yes, this time it's all because we didn't expect this county order to come up with a countermeasure so quickly, and we should have dug a little bigger at that time."
The back of several people's heads is cold, if you offend such a big official, you won't be far from death, right?!
"Mr. He, what should we do then?"
"What to do? You stupid, go dig again tonight, bring more people, it doesn't matter if these fields are destroyed, you have your own government to take care of it, if you don't do this well, don't want the money, I'll clean you up casually. ”
