――――――――――

In the spring of the second year of Jianlong, due to the freezing of the Yellow River, the flood began, and heavy rain fell in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, so the Yellow River became more galloping and roaring fiercely.

The water of the Yellow River has become more turbid, a large amount of sediment is mixed down, the momentum is unabated, the channel near Kaifeng is connected with the Yellow River again, so the water level of the Bianhe River, Wuzhang River, Cai River and so on has also risen sharply, at this moment the water of the Yellow River has broken down the embankment on the south bank of the Yellow River and the north bank of Kaifeng, and the water level of the Yellow River has begun to pour into Kaifeng City.

Wang Pu hurriedly entered the palace, seeing Zhao Kuangyin, "Your Majesty, Kaifeng urgent report, the river in the north of the city overflowed, breaking the embankment, and now the river began to pour into Kaifeng City, please send personnel to repair the embankment as soon as possible, and now Kaifeng Pengze is also flooded by the river, this time the situation is far more serious than the Dizhou River in October last year, and the bad and disgusting, Shanghe two counties are in the house, and the acres are much more serious!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin asked: "This situation is really so urgent, but Kaifeng is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the hub of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty, since the beginning of Zhou Xiande, Yang Liu of Dongping, Prime Minister Li Gu supervised the embankment, and arrived at Zhang Qiukou from Yanggu to curb it, and the flood was less. However, the river is no longer the old way, and it is the red river. That time there was a flooding of Kaifeng, but this time the situation was more serious than that time, I did not expect the river to thaw, heavy rain came again, this time Kaifeng was more affected than last time. And my Great Song Dynasty this year just to control the Yellow River flood money consumed most of the treasury, and the northern military defense also undertook a lot, every year to control the water, every year to burst the embankment overflow, if my Great Song Dynasty wants to dominate the world, we must control the flooding of the river. ”

What Wen Bo said was extremely true, Zhang Dejun sent an order to let the soldiers of the forbidden army out of the palace, and Chu Zhaofu, the envoy of the city defense, and Zhao Guangyi, the emperor's younger brother, organized the people to dig ditches outside the city, and let the officials of the water supervision under the Sansi River Canal case guide on the side, where to dig and divert the water to disperse, and then wait for the river to fall, and then block the breach. Except for Kaifeng, the governors of the other prefectures and counties, who are also the envoys of the river embankments of their own prefectures, are to be transferred immediately and without mistake. ”

Zhang Dejun drafted the decree on the side, and then left the palace and went outside the palace with the holy decree. After the decree was issued, at this moment outside the city has gathered some people who are responsible for forced labor, they wear cloaks, hoes to dig the soil, and some people are picking up soil, this ravine is temporarily used for drainage, it can only be said that in this era only this method can work, but it is not enough to rely on this thing, such as it is still raining today, although it is spring, but no one has ever seen such a heavy rain in this season, and the continuous ice blocks upstream are also approaching downstream, which is really worse.

And at this moment, the bad news is that the streets in the south of the city have become a country, and boats can be driven everywhere, and the fish, shrimp, and crabs in the Bianhe River are all coming to it, and they can't tell where the Bianhe River is, and although the boats from the south to the north are tied to the pier, they keep changing positions as the water level rises.

And since the heavy rain when the water flooded inside and outside the city, Guangwei Restaurant has been out of operation for a few days, the water is soaked for too long to the city wall, houses and other settings are extremely unfavorable, the south of the city is extremely low, there are several residential buildings in the home because of the flooding for too long, the house is in danger, has become a dangerous house, if it goes on like this, the loss will be greater.

From the morning, Zhao Dezhao and a few people were outside the city to inspect the micro-service, where the terrain is extremely high, the water potential is extremely high, but when the heavy rain is pouring, the shoes of the walkers are all mud, extremely uncomfortable, and Zhao Dezhao also complains about these roads, complains are complaints, and the surrounding situation still has to be inspected.

Entering the city gate, the road in Kaifeng City is still good, all are paved with bricks and stones, and it is comfortable to walk on it.

Zhao Dezhao walked on the flat street, this section of the city is still high, and the water can't come up, and this walk, he heard two ordinary people discussing trivial matters. Zhao Dezhao stopped, he wanted to listen to what the people of Kaifeng were discussing when they were gossiping.

"I didn't expect this water to be really big, and you can raise fish at home, hehe-" The fat man with a round face and a face that was about to overflow with grease complained helplessly, but is it useful to blame God, this rain is still falling.

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married! Why is this house not made of stone, you think about how strong the stone is, when the water recedes, Xiaosheng must be pushed to the adobe house, all built of masonry...... And why don't you build this river out of bricks and stones, so that it won't be washed away...... And if it is as solid as a rock, it will not be washed away......" said the thin man, who was already thinking about what would happen after the water receded, and the more he talked, the more interested he became, and the spit flew on the fat man's face, looking like an idealist.

"You want to be beautiful, come on! This brick and stone costs a lot, what is the situation in your house, I still don't know, poor and sour......" The fat man said, breaking the thin man's dialogue.

"I haven't returned home yet-" The fat man's mother-in-law had already come over with a rolling pin, "Daddy, dinner is ready, why don't you go back soon?" After saying that, he took the fat man home.

Only the thin man was left, he shook his head, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Dezhao, stepped forward and asked, "This big brother, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"This little brother is dignified, he must be the official of a minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, why do you ask this?" The thin man said.

"You are so good, don't you ......" Xiao Guizi was about to reprimand, but was stopped by Zhao Dezhao in time.

"I can't talk about it, my father is just a small official, I just heard you talk about the need for some civil engineering and masonry and the like, and the construction of houses, I don't know what this big brother has to say?"

"I can't talk about opinions, Xiaosheng is just a poor talent, falling into the first place every year, just now he is just a little unscrupulous, and he can't be counted. The bricks and stones, the people have no blessings, the houses built at home are adobe, and the things are too precious, alas, why this Kaifeng will be flooded once every three years and five years, if the embankment is as solid as a rock, everything is easy to say. With that, the thin man shook his head.

"Big brother, don't sigh, things in this world are so wonderful, what else can big brother say about other views on flood control?"

"This ...... Xiaosheng is foolish, this excavation ditch is left from the time of Dayu's water control, the effect is good, but now the river is overflowing, the required civil service labor is too much, it is better to block than to sparse, because it is faster to communicate with the river...... And the house should be repaired...... Belch...... Xiaosheng is just talking on paper, exaggerating, these words are what the saint said, and they should not be counted! ”

"Okay, I don't know where my eldest brother's family lives, and I will be grateful for it in the future!"

"The south of the city is a blacksmith, and Li Hu is a little student."

"Okay, I'll come to the door another day to thank you."

Zhao Dezhao also saw the damage caused by the floods, among which the farmland outside the city was lost to varying degrees, and the south and north of the city were the most serious because of the extremely low terrain and the proximity of the waterways. Although Zhao Dezhao didn't see any historical celebrities when he went out today, he also listened to some ideal reality after going out, so in the end he still summed up one point: the Yellow River really needs to be governed, and Kaifeng must also be transformed.

Looking back on history, Zhao Dezhao knew that at the end of the Song Dynasty, the court and the people were fighting against the Yellow River all the time. And Kaifeng is a veritable "city stack city", the so-called "city stack city" is because of the flooding of the Yellow River and man-made destruction, the sand will cover the city, but the people of later generations also rebuilt a new city on this city, and the ridiculous thing is that Kaifeng at this time has already been a city buried in the ground in later generations.

The change is the most radical, and to ensure that the Yellow River does not overflow, it will take the joint efforts of many people to complete, and it cannot be done overnight. Of course, Zhao Dezhao is confident that he will be able to control the floods, but it will take a long time, and the river embankment must be strengthened so that it cannot be strong unless there is cement.

And the cement thing, now Zhao Dezhao can vaguely remember some production methods, but the flood is at the head, first let the water empty, and then use cement to reinforce the entire Kaifeng river, and at the same time repair the dwellings, and replace it with masonry and cement materials, so the entire Kaifeng has to be overhauled, this project is really huge, and it requires the cooperation of many departments of the imperial court. After figuring out this matter, Zhao Dezhao returned to the palace in micro-service, thinking about cement all the way, and after returning to the palace, he had to discuss it up and down.

And then the rain finally stopped.

First of all, he returned to his dormitory, wrote down the materials needed for cement on paper, as well as the steps of refining cement, etc., and then he thought about it on the map, in the downwind direction, far away from the closed city, in a deserted suburb, choose a place where cement is made, which is a location, which will not affect the urban area and residential areas, so he put the cement manufacturing in Chenliu.

After the trivial matters were planned, Zhao Dezhao wrote a note about the Kaifeng transformation plan, and he planned to go to the Funing Palace to meet Zhao Kuangyin tonight.

It was late at night, and Zhao Kuangyin slept peacefully in front of the child every night, and at this moment he was just about to order to extinguish the candle and go to bed, and someone outside the hall played a report.

"Qiqi official family, His Royal Highness King Liang is asking to see him outside the palace." Zhao Kuangyin's personal eunuch Zhang Dejun bowed down to report to Zhao Kuangyin.

"Hehe, come to me so late today, quickly announce him to come in, I see what is the matter with this little guy?" Zhao Kuangyin squinted his hazy sleepy eyes and smiled helplessly.

"Zhao'er knocked on Daddy and disturbed Daddy's sleep! But Zhao'er has something urgent to report! ”

"Zhao'er, why did you come to disturb your father so late today, I heard that the chamberlain said that you went outside the city, I don't know what's wrong, everything is fine." Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, it must have been for the flood, but if it was later today, let's listen to the little guy today.

"The civilian servants mobilized by Daddy are digging ditches on the construction site in full swing, and now that the rain has stopped, I believe that the water will recede soon, but Zhao'er has something to discuss when he comes to Daddy here tonight!"

"Zhao'er, is it a big deal?"

"That's true, Zhao'er found a very serious problem, and after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to come to tell her father today, and hope that her father will deal with it properly. This matter requires the joint efforts of all the confidential officials of the imperial court and the Kaifeng officials of the DPRK and China, and the need is huge, so don't be shocked after hearing it. ”

Zhao Kuangyin frowned, and thought about it for a while, the recent flood in the capital and the south bank of the Yellow River burst, the river water backflow damaged countless good fields and houses, and there were many people affected by the disaster, he squinted his eyes and asked, "What will make Daddy startled?" ”

Zhao Dezhao said sonorously: "Daddy, Zhao'er recently left the palace, and saw a lot of damage to private houses inside and outside the city, and the poor drainage facilities in Kaifeng City are also a major reason why the river has not receded for a long time. And because of the sewage flowing sideways and messing everywhere in Kaifeng City, even after the water recedes, there will be a small epidemic, and in the long run, there will be disasters. After the child proposed the flood, repair and open up the entire Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, so this matter is very important, and all departments in the DPRK and China must cooperate with each other, and Zhao'er must completely solve the Kaifeng flood once and for all, so as to ensure the peace of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty! Because it is in the huge capital, it has a large population. Therefore, the whole project is large, involving more departments and personnel, and a lot of money is needed! ”

"Once and for all? The entire Kaifeng City, this matter is very important, why don't Zhao'er plan a fold, and propose it in detail in the fold. ”

"Zhao'er has already prepared a fold in the dormitory, and this will be presented to Daddy! If the effect is better, it will be promoted in all cities in the Great Song Dynasty, how about Daddy? Before Zhao Dezhao finished speaking, he took out the fold and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin.

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin opened it, it was full of detailed steps for transforming Kaifeng, as well as the dispatch departments, personnel, money, and materials...... And...... Wait, what is cement, it really has such an effect, and it is necessary to build a cement plant in Chenliu, which...

Zhao Kuangyin was already sober at this moment, and he asked suspiciously: "Zhao'er's performance is good, clear, methodical, and thoughtful, it is a good national policy, but there is a little confusion for my father, what is this 'cement'?" ”

"Oh, Zhao'er forgot to introduce to Daddy that this cement is the dust formed by calcining limestone and other stones at high temperatures, and then mixing it with water, and after a period of drying, it is as strong as a stone, and it is cut with a knife and an axe, or when it encounters foreign objects such as fire and water, it is not broken, it is not damaged, it is better than being paved with stone, and it can also be used to build houses, ports and docks, and large buildings. If the father has doubts, the child plans to make a batch first, and let the father see the true face of Lushan another day. ”

"The true face of Lushan? Oh! Daddy understands, then you can rest tonight, you are sleepy for your father, and when it is finished, tell Daddy. ”

"Zhao'er, don't disturb Daddy's rest, retire!"
