Chapter 136: Floods
readx;
Looking at Hu Hai's naked and greasy chest that looked greasy because of sweat, how could Long Bing and Long Xue, who were already weak legs, dare to take another look, how did the sweat come from, don't ask. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info/>
But fortunately, at this moment, Hu Hai didn't seem to notice the strange appearance of the two girls at all, so he walked to the gate of the dormitory shirtless, looking at the rain curtain outside the corridor, but there was a rare worry on his face.
This rare rainfall from north to south began from Taiyuan and Julu and extended to the Xianyang boundary of Guanzhong, almost including most counties in Guanzhong and Shandong, and it can be said that it has covered the widest range of Daqin land at the turn of summer and autumn in the past five years.
Crucially, the duration and intensity of this particularly widespread rainfall has been rare in decades. As of today, the rain in Guanzhong has been going on for seven days. The first two counties of Julu and Taiyuan to start raining, it has been almost ten days of precipitation.
The rain has been incessant, large and small, and it seems to have been going on for seven days.
Five days ago, the cabinet received an urgent letter from Julu, Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hedong, and Handan counties, and the rivers and lakes in each county were all overwhelmed, and the mainland of Julu County, which connects the rivers, has expanded by nearly one-fifth because of the injection of rainwater from many rivers, and it is still expanding rapidly, flooding a large area of land around the mainland.
The most important thing is that the water of the Yellow River in Julu, Taiyuan, Shangdang and Hanoi has been rising gently, and has begun to overflow the original river and begin to flow in all directions.
Three days ago, all the major rivers in Guanzhong, including Weishui, Fengshui, and Bashui, began to rise wildly because of the continuous rainfall.
The continuous lightning continued one after another, and the rumbling thunder that continued to come from above the nine heavens seemed to never stop for a moment like a war drum. The pouring rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
Isn't this a beautiful God?
Feeling the damp moisture constantly blowing on his body, Hu Hai thought silently.
Finally, after a few years of smooth wind and rain, this heavy rain has passed, I am afraid that the farmland and cultivated land that were originally on both sides of the rivers will be blistered again, and the unripe grain planted by the people of several counties shrouded by the rain is afraid that it will be soaked in this rain, and I am afraid that the grain will be lost.
Flooding is now a certainty, depending on how many people and how much arable land will be flooded.
Waterlogging is fine, but what Hu Hai is most worried about now is the Yellow River!
The Yellow River runs through the North China Plain. Stretching for thousands of miles, and the counties of Julu, Taiyuan, and Shangdang happen to be in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, if the water rises in the upper reaches, then the counties in the lower reaches that have not suffered from flooding will also be plagued by flooding.
It's okay if the food is gone, after all, there are still countless grains in the official warehouses. That's all there to say.
The key point is that if the downstream drainage is not urgent and the rainfall in the upstream is huge, if the Yellow River is directly diverted without any flood control dikes, then the land of Daqin County will probably become a flood.
The Yellow River, as the mother river of the Chinese people, has been diverted more than 20 times in its thousands of years of history. Today, the history books of the Great Qin still record the great diversion of the Yellow River that took place 400 years ago.
In the fifth year of King Ding of Zhou (602 BC). Heavy rain fell on Julu in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the flood took the river from Suxukou (now the confluence of the Qi River and the Wei River), went east to Luochuan, and then diverted from Luochuan to Changshoujin (now the northeast of Huaxian County, Henan). The Zhanghe River in the north flows into the sea at Zhangwu (now northeast of Cangxian County, Hebei), forming a new river channel, which is south of the Yellow River.
This is supposed to be the first major diversion of the Yellow River in recorded history.
This time the Yellow River was diverted. As a result, countless people in the former Wei and Zhao countries were displaced, and floating corpses were everywhere. dealt a heavy blow to Wei and Zhao, who were originally strong at that time. It also made the Qin State at that time finally get a rare respite.
Nowadays, Wei and Zhao have long ceased to exist, but after hundreds of years of development, the people living around the Yellow River and the cultivated farmland are much denser than at the beginning, coupled with the dense river network and large and small lakes, once the Yellow River is diverted and the flood goes south on a large scale, then the counties through which the Yellow River flows will only suffer more people from flooding than it was 400 years ago.
Therefore, as soon as he received the urgent official letter from the counties, Hu Hai had already ordered the cabinet to send personnel to the Ministry of Work and the Ministry of Household Affairs to each county of Julu, so that the county guards were responsible for evacuating the people and rushing to higher places, and organizing the people to temporarily raise and strengthen the Yellow River to prevent the Yellow River from being diverted.
For the more than ten counties through which the Yellow River flows, the officials of each county were ordered to go up the river day and night to check the water situation at any time, and to go to the imperial court at any time through the Longwei Mansion and the Black Ice Terrace.
This was the first time that Hu Hai had opened the communication channels between Longwei Mansion and Heibing Terrace to various counties. Not only because of the urgency of the floods, but more importantly, Hu Hai wanted to let the new governors of the counties know one thing, that is, the eyes of labor and management have been watching you.
Of course, this communication channel was opened, but it was the people from the Longwei Mansion and the Black Ice Terrace who came to the door by themselves instead of telling the county officials where the stronghold of the Longwei Mansion was.
However, after this flood, it is no longer a secret that the secret agents and meticulous works who want to come to the Longwei Mansion and the Black Ice Platform to appear in the counties. I had to replace a new batch of people, and then I had to spend time getting to know and figure out the situation in each county.
If the Yellow River is diverted or not, it will be ordinary people who will suffer in the end. It is also through the flood that covers almost one-fifth of the country's territory this time, let's see how the county guards selected by each county are.
Just when Hu Hai was distracted, Long Bing's voice sounded behind him: "Your Majesty, it's cold in the middle of the night, let's rest early!" With the words, Hu Hai felt a warm cloak on his body wrapping his naked bare shoulders.
"Is there an urgent letter from the cabinet in the study?" Hu Hai turned around and looked at Long Bing and Long Xue, who were hanging their heads and didn't dare to look at them, reached out and rubbed the heads of the two women, tightened the cloak on their bodies and said softly.
Why the two daughters are like this, he, the initiator, naturally knows it.
And Hu Hai also knew that Long Jiao was so crazy tonight, even regardless of her own body's repeated requests, she also knew that Hu Hai had been anxious about the large-scale flood that was about to sweep more than ten counties these days, and wanted to calm down her mood.
Feeling Hu Hai rubbing his two heads, Long Bing and Long Xue were happy in their hearts, but there was a touch of helplessness in their eyes. The emperor is good at everything, why does he always treat his two sisters as children?
Looking at the slender waists and hips and beautiful breasts of his sisters, Long Bing was confused, which of us are young?
