Due to the success of Dayu's water control, so its method of dredging was regarded as a classic by later generations, and the ancient river control was to discharge the flood as the most basic method, without any attention to the sediment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The method of water flushing is a risky, but very effective way to deal with river siltation. To put it bluntly, the method of water flushing is to tighten the river channel, use the impulse of water to impact the sediment at the bottom of the riverbed, so as to achieve the purpose of dredging and flood control, and is generally suitable for rivers with large flows, such as the Yellow River.

Although this method is effective, it also has to take a certain risk, because if you want to impact the blocked silt, you must tighten the river channel and increase the impact of the river water, which is the opposite of the current practice, because the current practice of the whole county is to widen the river and strengthen the river embankment.

Moreover, once this method is used, the Yellow River water has the possibility of flooding, which is also a matter of no way, if you want to increase the flow of the river, it will inevitably be too high in the riverbed, and the turbulent river water will naturally overflow at that time, which is inevitable, and there is even nothing to explain, but this method, in Zhang Jie's memory, is currently the safest and most effective method.

However, what Zhang Jie has to face at this moment is not whether this method will work or not, but how to persuade a group of old people in the county government to agree with his own method, you must know that in the eyes of these people, Zhang Jie's method is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall, which belongs to the whimsical category of young people.

After discussing with a group of officials, including the main one, for a long time to no avail, Zhang Jie, the county magistrate, finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided not to reason with a group of ignorant old antiques, so the county magistrate's arbitrariness was played by Zhang Jie at this moment, bypassing the county government and a group of officials, and after moving all the people from several villages downstream, Zhang Jie implemented his own method.

Tightening the river is a more dangerous thing, the turbulent river can wash away anything thrown into the river, Zhang Jie also took a lot of effort, used a lot of methods, this is the successful use of sand and gravel to tighten the riverbed.

Then, naturally, because the riverbed tightened, the river became more turbulent, as expected, and in the end, the Yellow River overflowed, but because it had been expected in advance, the people downstream of the river were relocated in advance, except for the houses soaked in the water, but did not suffer much loss.

Naturally, because I don't know what the effect is, Zhang Jie is soaked in the river embankment throughout the whole process, seeing that the river is becoming more and more violent, and the downstream has become a disaster, if it is allowed to go down like this, there will definitely be more villages affected, and in this way, Zhang Jie ordered someone to dig up the blocked river, and then strengthen the river embankment again, until half a day later, the river water returned to stability again, and the original silt place was finally washed away by the turbulent river, and the entire river surface no longer needs to be continuously strengthened and widened as before.

In the next two days, the heavy rain continued, and when the heavy rain lasted for the twentieth day, several counties in the upper reaches finally broke the embankment, and the terrible flood swallowed up several villages in a row, and even the entire county of a few counties was flooded, but the only thing to be thankful for is that even if the silt was dredged, the water flow of the Yellow River has been very stable when it passed through Zhang Jie's county, and finally mobilized the people of the county to strengthen the river embankment, and finally successfully held the flood.

And after nearly a month of continuous rainfall, the hole in the sky seems to have finally been blocked, this evening, the rain finally began to decrease, at night, the original heavy rain downpour has become a light rain, when the next morning, has not seen the sun for a month The people finally saw the sun overhead, so far, after a month of rainy weather finally turned clear, the people on the river bank who have been struggling for nearly half a month all cheered.

Happily, except for the beginning when the river was tightened and the Yellow River flooded a few villages, there was no further breach of the riverbank, and the entire flood season was completely over.

When Zhang Jie returned to the county office, it was already the third day after the weather cleared, and many officials in the yamen, including the old master Bo, fell ill in this disaster fight, Zhang Jie also resisted with his young talent, and the whole county returned to normal again.

Naturally, the county government will definitely give compensation for the villages that were affected by the flood, and the various compensation issued by the imperial court is not counted, Zhang Jie is in charge himself, and those affected villages who want to plant greenhouses will be directly exempted from the cost of one or two taels of silver per acre, and just this one concession will exempt the people who have been affected by the disaster from the cost of at least three or five taels of silver.

Because the heavy rain delayed too much time, therefore, in the remaining time, the greenhouse will naturally be more intensively implemented, and every household after the previous flood fighting, there is no time to take a breath, and they will focus on the field again.

After two days of busy work in the county government, this morning, an abrupt news came to his ears, but Zhang Jie couldn't help but sigh again.

"Prepare the car, go home!"

Throwing a large pile of copywriting in his hand to the desk, Zhang Jie went directly out of the county office, and Li Hu, who followed behind, did not hesitate, quickly set up the carriage, and then carried Zhang Jie and quickly headed towards the village.

"When?" Along the way, Zhang Jie, who was in a very heavy mood, asked in a low voice.

"Three days after you left, my lord, it has been more than half a month since now!" Li Hu, who was in front, replied cautiously while catching the car.

"So, how is the old master?"

After asking lightly, Zhang Jie kept his mouth shut, in fact, he didn't need to ask at all, Zhang Jie could guess that since the old lady was gone, the old master would naturally not feel good.

"I don't know too much about the specifics, but I just heard Liu Pang say that the old master doesn't want you to be distracted, so he hasn't let people inform the eldest master of you, listening to Liu Pang say that these days, the old master looks very depressed."

Li Hu was talking, but suddenly tightened the horse rope, and then, the speed of the carriage slowly slowed down, and when the carriage began to pull aside, it seemed to feel something, Zhang Jie opened the curtain on the side, only to see a carriage coming from the direction of the village.

When he saw the carriage, Zhang Jie's heart tightened, and then, a pair of eyes stared at the carriage and never shifted a bit.

The moment the two carriages passed by, the carriage also lifted the curtain, and then, leaking out the beautiful face of the woman in the carriage, when the four eyes met, Zhang Jie seemed to see that the woman nodded to herself, and then, the two carriages staggered like this.

"Master, do you want to stop?"

Li Hu in front slowed down again and asked in a low voice.

"No need, let's go!" (To be continued.) )
