70. Flood discharge from Biandi
Thinking of my Huaxia, five thousand years ago, among which wisdom, how many people can understand it all? The so-called learning from each other's strengths is not only with the help of others, but also with the help of certain material resources.
As the old saying goes: the upper one works people, the middle one works wisely, the lower one labors, learn from each other's strengths, naturally make the best use of things, so that the "things" in his hands play to his maximum effectiveness, I think, everyone is well-known, it is nothing more than 'Cao Chong called the elephant', this is a well-known story, even two or three-year-old children know such a story, now, our protagonist Zhao Xuan, also encountered such a difficult thing to deal with, and listen to me slowly to you......
It was summer, June and July, and it was the season of heavy rain, so at the request of many people, Zhao Xuan decided to issue a notice to dig a in the territory to impact Yutian.
It took more than half a month, Zhao Xuan finally built this Biandi, looking at the beautiful Biandi in front of him, Zhao Xuan smiled happily, whenever he did a good thing for the people, he was very happy, he felt that this was his own growth, and at the same time gave the people so many benefits, in Zhao Xuan's eyes, even a saint may not be able to complete so many things in such a short time! Unconsciously, Zhao Xuan's heart began to sprout a kind of conceited psychology.
Although this embankment is very magnificent, and the time to complete it is also very fast, but the time to complete the construction of this embankment is too untimely, just after Zhao Xuan issued this notice of the completion of the embankment, the upstream began to rain heavily for several days, everyone at first this happened to be a good opportunity for the embankment to store water, but who would have thought that the rain was too big, not a few days later, the water suddenly surged, everyone did not expect the water to come suddenly, the opening of the embankment occurred a chain reaction, and soon, the newly built embankment collapsed a section.
Sitting in the public court, a letter of first aid was placed in front of Zhao Xuan, Zhao Xuan really wanted to save the emergency, but he didn't understand these water things at all. Experienced in a hundred battles' good hand, at the beginning, the man also swore to Zhao Xuan that there would be no problems, but I didn't expect that how many days have passed, this embankment has been washed away for a while, but this time is not the time to hold accountable at all, a large area of farmland has been waterlogged, if these water is not delivered out in time, the embankment will not be able to support this huge pressure, will break a bigger opening, when the time, Taiping County will have more farmland flooded, and the loss of farmers will be more serious.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan didn't dare to think that more people would be displaced at that time, and Zhao Xuan's reputation would be ruined.
At this time, it has been raining heavily in the sky, the river is getting more and more turbulent, and the breach is beginning to get bigger and bigger, if it goes on like this, it is estimated that it will not be more than half a day, and this place will be flooded by the river, and the unimaginable disaster will happen here in Zhao Xuan.
In less than an hour, the master came to Zhao Xuan's face, Zhao Xuan frowned, looking at the Biandi in front of him, he didn't know what to do, he was at a loss, Zhao Xuan found out for the first time that ignorance was so terrible.
Zhao Xuan wanted to calm himself down as much as possible, but he couldn't calm down at all, and the master on the side looked at Zhao Xuan so anxiously, and he didn't hesitate for anything, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted, and said in a voice that was just enough for Zhao Xuan to hear: "Lord Qiyu, Du Shuicheng, who came to command the blocking of the embankment, is here." ”
As soon as he heard that Du Shui Cheng was coming, Zhao Xuan guessed that it must be Qingzhou Prefecture Mu Li Fang who knew that no one here knew how to block the water, so he sent someone to come, and the arrival of Du Shui Cheng was undoubtedly a charcoal to Zhao Xuan, after the big joy, Zhao Xuan hurriedly said to the master: "Hurry up, hurry up, go and invite the adults to come over, you lead the way, I will go to him in person!" ”……
"I am humbly on the orders of Lord Li, the state pastor, and come to support Lord Zhao!" Between this Shui Cheng is a fat man, the face of the flesh is flying, the tall belly seems to be a woman from October to June and July when she is pregnant, two slightly narrowed eyes make people unconsciously feel that this person must be a calculating person, smiling face, coupled with this fat figure, if the face of this person in front of him is not such a smiling tiger, it will definitely be mistaken by others for Maitreya Buddha Tuosheng.
Although this person's answer was the same as Zhao Xuan thought, but the situation was urgent, where would Zhao Xuan care so much, and hurriedly said to Du Shuicheng: "The matter is urgent, please come and check with me, so I can help the government think about how to avoid such a trouble." ”
Du Shuicheng smiled and stretched out his hand, "Okay!" Please lead the way! ”
Zhao Xuan didn't say anything more to Du Shuicheng, which really made him a little surprised, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with what this son said to Master Li, he really cares about the people!" Of course, this is what Du Shuicheng thinks in his heart, so he won't say it.
Walking to the opening of the Biandi, Du Shuicheng was also like Zhao Xuan, his brows were tightened, looking at Du Shuicheng like this, Zhao Xuan asked cautiously: "What do you think, adult?" ”
Du Shuicheng shook his head slowly, and shook his head affirmatively, seeing him so indecisive, Zhao Xuan was very anxious in his heart, "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, this mansion will not blame you!" ”
Since Zhao Xuan has said this, Du Shui Cheng can't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly said: "We must give up a piece of land upstream, the more flat the place there is, the better, so that it can be used as an area for flood discharge, and the people in the city and the crops in other places will not suffer because of this, and I hope that the adults will make a quick decision to avoid causing a greater disaster!" ”
Zhao Xuan nodded, although he didn't know how to control the water, but this could indeed strangle the disaster in the cradle, "Master, is there any place where the villagers live in this upstream!" ”
The master stood aside, thought about it, and said to Du Shuicheng: "My lord, is the abandoned ancient city okay?" It's just that the range is not very large! ”
When Du Shui Cheng heard this, he was immediately happy, "Of course this is good, quickly, you can arrange for someone to dig a gap between the Biandi and the ancient city and lead the water over!" ”
The master looked at Zhao Xuan, and after getting Zhao Xuan's consent, he went to do it, and soon, after the chasm was dug, the Bianshui flowed to the ancient city, and after the downwater slowed down, Du Shuicheng hurriedly ordered people to hurry up and block the embankment to reinforce.
The next day, after the ancient city was filled, the water flowed downstream, but at this time the gap had already been filled and reinforced, and Du Shuicheng sent people to block the hole dug in the ancient city, because the water level inside and outside the mouth was almost high, so it was easy to repair.
They used the abandoned ancient city as a flood discharge area, which set a precedent in the history of water control, which attracted later generations to imitate it......
