Nature is undoubtedly the origin of thousands of lives, but it is like a moody little girl, and while it benefits living beings, it also brings endless disasters to the earth.

Flood is the most frequent disaster in all kinds of natural disasters, from Dayu to control the water, to the modern People's Liberation Army flood fighting, the competition between human beings and floods has never stopped.

From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to Yao Shunyu Soup, when the emperor changed or Chan Rang, almost every emperor's successor had rich experience in water control, and even historical research said that the standard for selecting emperors in ancient times was water control, which shows that in ancient times, the competition between human beings and floods has reached a white heat.

A day and a night passed, and Yang Yi never came down after going up the embankment.

In front of him is a roaring wave and a flood, and behind him is an endless field of fields. The early summer period of farming has just been completed, the crops in the 10,000 acres of fertile land have grown green sprouts, once the river bank bursts at this time, wantonly plundering the wilderness, not to mention how many villages and cities will be submerged, just the loss of crops in this fertile field, so that the people can not afford it, this is their hope for the next year.

For the people, they may not care about how the officials compete for power and profit, who is the boss actually has nothing to do with them, they only care about whether they can eat enough and whether they can wear warm clothes.

Such a request may seem very simple and simple, but it is an extremely dangerous tipping point. It is no secret that hungry people are crazy, and since ancient times, whenever a peasant revolt, there must be a reason for it, and that is famine.

Many emperors who were overthrown or indirectly ousted by peasant uprisings were not in fact mediocre or brutal, the only reason was that they could not feed their people. Whether it's a war or a natural disaster, a hungry person with a dizzy mind basically doesn't think about why he is hungry, they just do everything they can to fill their stomachs, and a different ruler seems to be a good idea.

Yang Yi never thought that he would encounter such a thorny problem on the second day of his tenure, if the flood really washed down the Chengzhou Mansion and destroyed the people's rations after winter, then maybe by this winter, Yang Yi would become the ruler who was overthrown by the peasant uprising, and if he was unlucky, he would lose his head.

Eventually, the heavy rain finally subsided at noon on the second day, and by the afternoon, the water level of the Yokogawa River had dropped to near the safety line.

Yang Yi posed in a large shape and lay weakly on a wet grass, feeling that he didn't even have the strength to breathe.

Yang Yi couldn't remember how many bags of sandbags he had carried on the embankment, the soles of his feet that had been soaked in water for a long time had already been soaked white and peeling, and the blood blisters on his hands were very painful, but Yang Yi didn't dare to break it, it would be very easy to get infected and fester.

The officials, troops, and civilians fighting the flood along the entire river bank now know that their new lord, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, is fighting the flood to the death with them in the most dangerous places.

Just looking at the monkey tip smirking on the side, I just knew that this guy spread it.

If Yang Yi had a little strength now, he vowed to turn Monkey Jian'er's thin face into a tangyuan face. Although Yang Yi's personal visit to the front line greatly boosted morale, it also made it difficult for Yang Yi to ride a horse, and he had to resist for a day and a night.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Ma You, who was also covered in mud, came to Yang Yi and bowed to his side.

Yang Yi waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, but he felt that his whole body was paralyzed and he had no strength to speak: "How about it, it's all right?" ”

Ma You thought for a while and said, "I don't know about other places, but I heard that the Yokokawa River has the most bends here, and I believe there is no problem here, and other places are safe." ”

Yang Yi was still not at ease, and asked, "Where is the jurisdiction here?" ”

"This place is under the jurisdiction of the southern county, and it should be under the jurisdiction of the southern county."

"Go, call me the official in the southern county."

Ma You ordered him to walk quickly to the river, and after a while, he came over with an old student dressed in an official mansion.

The old student was full of fatigue, and he could see that he had been tossing on the river for a lot of time, and bowed his hand and said: "Qian Shao, the county commander of the southern county of Xiaguan, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu. ”

Yang Yi sat up when he heard this, and saw Qian Shao standing with his head bowed, looking a little nervous, Yang Yi said: "Qian County Order doesn't need to be polite, come and sit." ”

Qian Shao exclaimed: "My subordinates don't dare..."

Qian Shao is an old official in Shuzhong, although he has done nothing and belongs to the conservative faction, but because of this, he has not been involved in the turmoil of Chengzhou Mansion, and he has been an official in Chengzhou Mansion for many years, he knows how powerful Tao Yong is, and the young King of Shu in front of him can defeat Tao Yong in a few months to become the lord of Shu, and it will not be easy to think about it, so he is a little afraid of Yang Yi in his heart.

Yang Yi saw Qian Shao's jealousy of himself in his heart, and he was not surprised, he pointed to a piece of grass below him and said: "Qian County ordered you to come and sit down, I have to stand up when you stand, my leg is no longer obedient." ”

Qian Shao hesitated, but still stepped forward and sat down on the grass below Yang Yi.

The ground was soaked, and the people sitting were very uncomfortable, Yang Yi saw Qian Shao sitting still, moved his buttocks, and arched his hand: "The flood has been surging in the past two days, but fortunately, Qian County has made an order, and Yang Yi thank you for the people of Chengzhou Mansion." ”

Qian Shao was taken aback, no matter whether Yang Yi was pretentious or sincerely grateful, he was a little flattered: "Your Highness is ashamed of the old man, the old man is just where his duty lies, but it is His Royal Highness's noble body that will tide over the disaster with us, which is what really makes the old man admire and make the people feel nostalgic." ”

Yang Yi smiled, stopped saying these sycophants to each other, and asked, "Dare to ask the Qian County Order, is the flood of this Hengchuan River like this every year?" Is there a cure? ”

Hearing this, Qian County Ling hurriedly straightened his body and said solemnly: "Back to Your Highness, Chengzhou Mansion is located in the middle reaches of the Hengchuan River, which is formed by the convergence of thousands of large and small rivers in the mountains of Shuzhong, and my southern county happens to be in a rather steep position of the river, so every year in the rainy season, the river water will soar, and it is extremely turbulent. Floods like this erupt every few years, but this year's strong floods did not cause the levees to burst, thanks to the support of His Highness and the generals who came to support. ”

As he spoke, Qian Shao pointed to a place in the Hengchuan River in the distance and said: "The most recent one was three years ago, in that place called Jianyu Bay, that time the river was only half opened, which caused a large area of Liangtian Village in Chengzhou Mansion to be flooded, killing and injuring nearly 3,000 people, more than 100,000 people were homeless, and the economic losses caused were incalculable. ”10
