Fan is sturdy, has lived in the north for a long time, has not experienced such a hot place in southern Fujian, and hides in the shade to rest during the day, and because of less movement, his body has grown a lot of fat, more and more like a bear.

Chen Sheng often travels back and forth to the embankment and knows the construction process of the embankment well. He is still very assured of the quality of the river defense project. With the supervision and acceptance of Xu Wugui and Li Zuoche, the river embankment that was built, Chen Sheng was still relatively relieved. However, in the past two days, Chen Sheng was still a little uneasy. Although he felt that he was suspicious, he was still very concerned about the progress of the embankment.

It was noon, and when I looked at it from afar, the surrounding vision was a little trembling and bending. In this scorching heat, it is impossible to carry out high-intensity work.

Xu Wugui and Li Zuoche can't care about this. The construction of the river embankment has entered the final stage, and Xu Wugui must carefully survey the final place where the river closes, choose where to lay the wooden piles, and then fill them with soil bags and sand and gravel. If this location is well chosen, even if the flood peak attacks, it can easily dissipate the power of water pressure, if it is not well chosen, a few waves will hit it, and the entire section of the river embankment will collapse. Therefore, this final stuffing pile is the most important thing. So Xu Wugui didn't dare to be careless.

Xu Wugui didn't stop, and Li Zuoche couldn't rest. Because he is the superintendent of this project, he calculates what materials, money and food are needed, and reports them to the county Cheng Yinghuo to be withdrawn. If there is a problem in the construction of the project, the first thing is not to hold the main cultivator Xu Wugui responsible, but to Li Zuoche. Therefore, Li Zuoche trembled and did not dare to derelict his duties. If the quality is not up to par, once a flood breaks out, even if he and Xu Wugui are cut down, they will not be able to recover the loss of the embankment. What's more, Chen Sheng has the grace of knowing the two of them, and finally Chen Sheng gritted his teeth and even took out his private money, wanting to do something for the benefit of the country and the people, if it is messed up in their hands, it is not easy to explain to Chen Sheng.

When Chen Sheng found the two of them, the two of them were hurriedly gesturing under the scorching sun, and there were hundreds of strong and strong men behind them, constantly carrying a lot of sharpened wooden poles to the designated place. These wooden sticks are concocted and fried in a tung oil pan to depot to remove the water, and even if they are soaked in water, they can maintain the effect of not rotting for many years.

Seeing Chen Sheng coming, the two hurriedly greeted him. Chen Sheng turned his head at Xu Wugui and asked, "How long will it take for the embankment to be repaired?" ”

Xu Wugui was quite anxious in Chen Sheng's tone, and he was very puzzled. Since the construction of Shuili, Chen Sheng has never urged the construction period, and has always asked Xu Wugui to work slowly and meticulously to ensure the quality of the embankment.

"The dams on both sides of the river have been basically completed." Xu Wugui hurriedly replied, pointed to the construction site in front of him, and said: "Only this embankment is located in a low-lying place, and at the same time it is closest to Dongye City, so it needs to be strengthened and intercepted here to drain the river." After the diversion, even if there is a huge flood infestation, it can also divide the impact and ensure the safety of the embankment and Dongye City. It is believed that it can be repaired within ten days. ”

Chen Sheng knew nothing about engineering construction. Barely able to discern a general effect. Because of this, Chen Sheng never interfered with Xu Wugui's planning when building the embankment because of his own preferences. Because he knows very well that he is a layman who is pointing fingers in this kind of field, and he is really messing around with the lives of countless people.

Chen Sheng nodded. I am still satisfied with this progress. Xu Wugui's construction efficiency had already made Chen Sheng breathtaking. If someone else were to coordinate the construction of such a huge water conservancy project, it would not be able to take shape in three or five years. But Xu Wugui strengthened the defense of dozens of miles of rivers in just a few months.

After thinking about it, Chen Sheng suddenly said: "If the embankment is not perfected now, how much damage will it cause if there is a flood impact?" ”

Xu Wugui's brows furrowed. I don't know what Chen Sheng meant by this. He pondered for a moment before he replied cautiously: "Ordinary flood peaks are fine, but if the levee collapses due to the impact of a large water dragon, and the flood can reach Dongye City in an instant, razing Dongye City to the ground, the damage caused will be even more serious than the damage caused before the dam was built." ”

"Why is this happening?" When Chen Sheng heard this, he said that it was difficult to understand.

"My lord, do you want to think about it......" Xu Wugui smiled bitterly and said: "Before the river was not reinforced, if the river flooded, it overflowed the river and raged everywhere, submerging all the areas along the river. But when the river is repaired, the water can only flow down the river......"

"I see." Chen Sheng nodded. said: "The rain has accumulated, and if it pours in one place, the destructive power will naturally be terrifying." ”

"Yes." Xu Wugui said solemnly: "Therefore, we must be extra careful in the construction here, and the wood, stones, lime mortar, etc., prepared are several times or even dozens of times more than the rest of the place, just to block the flood, and then divert it." ”

Chen Sheng said "um", and then said: "Add some construction, but be sure to ensure that the quality and safety are excellent, if there are not enough manpower, I can send 10,000 soldiers to help." Chen Sheng said: "Give you five days to finish the embankment." ”

Xu Wugui frowned again. Chen Sheng's reaction today is unusual, he usually doesn't pay much attention to the progress of the project, why is he so urging?

"My lord, why is it so hasty?" Xu Wugui couldn't help but ask.

"There has been no rain in Fujian for several months, the climate is abnormal these days, I am restless, according to the experience of some old people, the 'wind platform' is coming." Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "As soon as the hurricane comes, there will be floods, and if it is washed away by the flood, you know the consequences better than me." There are more than 100,000 residents in Dongye City, and there are countless villages along the river outside the city, with nearly 200,000 people. Chen Sheng sighed.

Xu Wu thought about it. After nodding silently, he said: "My lord, no ghost knows, within five days, it will be completed!" Xu Wugui lined up and patted his chest to pack the ticket. After thinking about it, Xu Wugui said again: "The hurricane comes and goes indefinitely, if it comes early, it will be a big trouble." Your Excellency, please be prepared at any time for thousands of strong soldiers, ready to respond to any eventuality. ”

Chen Sheng's heart sank, and he nodded solemnly. Xu Wugui turned back to Li Zuoche and said: "Brother Zuoche, inform the people below that from today onwards, the measures to stop work during the day will be canceled, and the two parts will be exchanged during the day and night, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Good!" Li Zuoche wiped the sweat on his face and replied loudly.
