118. The Yellow River is intercepted

After I came back, I didn't talk about the sand dune banquet with Shi Ji and my colleagues. However, as the ministers and their dependents who attended the banquet returned to the court, my performance at the banquet was quickly spread. And it was also added with oil and vinegar. What broke into the palace gate, played with the minister, poured wine on the king, and so on.

What's even more troublesome is that the palace maid who was rescued by me didn't know how they got it, and finally died. And this is also said to be caused by me pouring alcohol into the king. It's terrifying.

But I don't take it too seriously. Because I have more things to care about. Before going to the dunes, the King promised me to release Merlin. However, for several days, I did not hear anything about her.

Also, Teacher Taiyi once told me that one of the purposes for me to return to Chaoge was to help Ji Chang return to Xiqi. However, now Xiqi's tribute has already been delivered to the King of Zhou and Fei Zhong's ministers, and the lord of Xin Xi has also been in the palace for a long time. Looking at the appearance of her and the king of the ring, the king should be quite satisfied. But Sieber's release is still far away.

Alas! What can I do about these things?

Let's wait and see what happens!

As one of the four resident professors in the college and the most popular teacher, I have a full schedule of classes every day. I didn't hire any teaching assistants either, and I did all the presentations myself.

So basically every morning when I wake up, I change into my bodysuit. I don't change into other clothes until after I take a shower in the evening.

That day, I was wearing the white body uniform with gauze sleeves, and I had just finished a smart class, when I saw the Biyun boy coming in a hurry.

"Teacher Nezha, the dean invites you over."

"Oh!" I promised.

"Bigan-sama is there, too." He said.

"Huh?"

"Lord Bigan is at the Dean's." Biyun Boy said, "It's Lord Bigan looking for you." He looked at my high-leg suit, "Do you want to go back and change your clothes?" ”

I know that for Grandpa Bigan, this body suit on my body can be said to be revealing enough. So when I go to his house, I cover my arms and legs as much as possible, whether it's hot or cold. But in the final two years ago, I was dressed so scantily, he didn't say anything after that.

"No need!" I said, "I have a lesson ahead of me." After talking to Lord Bigan, it was too late to change clothes. ”

Sure enough, from the moment I walked into Shiji's room, Grandpa Bigan's eyes kept on me, which made me extremely embarrassed. Instinctively, I pulled down the sleeve so that it covered my wrists, and then snapped my hands in front of me.

"Dean, grandfather." I say.

I didn't pull the hem of my trousers. What's the use of driving so high that pulling down can't cover the groin?

"Nezha, sit down!" Shi Ji said.

I sat on my knees across from Bigan. There is a table in the middle. He could no longer see my bare legs and felt better.

"Nezha," Bigan asked, "is that what you wear on weekdays at the Academy?" ”

"Young Master, that's it." Shi Ji replied on my behalf, "The kind of body uniform worn by Nezha is the prescribed college costume of our school's agility class. Nezha, as a teacher, does not have to wear it. However, she needs to show her students her movements often, so she often wears the same outfit as them. ”

"When the adults came, Nezha should have been dressed to greet him. But considering that she was in class and was a relative of an adult, she didn't think about it so much. I hope you will forgive me. ”

Bigan still looked at me, "I don't care if you wear these in the academy or in the Smart Contest. But you can't wear these to the banquet where the king invites the minister! Now the whole Song City is talking about your bare legs. ”

"Moreover, it is rumored that you have also entered the palace gate and played tricks on Lord Fei Lian and General Evil. He actually dared to fight with the king, so that the king ordered everyone to drink, and a palace maid fell into the pool and died......"

"Grandpa!" I immediately pleaded guilty, "A lot of this is misinformation!" ”

Bigan interrupted me, "Miscommunication? If you don't do anything, dress properly, behave in your own right, how can there be misinformation? ”

"Nezha," he continued, "do you know why so many ministers in the DPRK and China are making excuses not to attend this banquet? ”

I guessed a little, but still shook my head in ignorance.

"Nezha, you just came back, I don't know how severe the drought will be this year......"

"But," I said, "there was a rainstorm just a few days ago, and Senior Brother Biyun and I were drenched in soup!" ”

"But is the ground wet?" He asked rhetorically, "The rain you encountered was the only rain that fell on Chaoge this year, and it basically fell on Qishui." You're in luck. ”

He sighed, "In order to pray for rain from heaven, a month ago, the Great King had decreed that this year's sacrifice would resume human sacrifice that had not been performed for twenty years. ”

"Huh?" I was taken aback, "Why?" ”

"This is the will of God!" "But even in the midst of such anger and resentment, the king is still happy. Especially when the drought is so severe this year, the mainland cannot reach the water level of previous years, and the lake cannot enter the pool of the Dune Palace. The king actually arranged for the doctor Shen Gongbao to contact the practitioners of Chaoge, and used his magic power to mine huge stones in the lower reaches of the mainland to intercept the water of the Yellow River, making the already serious disaster in the lower reaches of the land even worse. ”

He glanced at Shi Ji, "Dean Shi Ji also knows about this matter!" ”

Shi Ji's expression was embarrassed, and his face was not very good-looking. "My lord, the king's order to intercept the water of the Yellow River is not simply to raise the water level of the Dune Palace. The increase in the water level of the Yellow River is also conducive to the irrigation of the land around Chaoge and alleviating the drought! ”

"But what about those who live downstream? Aren't they the people of the Great Merchant? The water of the Yellow River moistens thousands of miles of land downstream, and this interception will cause millions of fields downstream to be harvested. It is inevitable that the ethnic groups on both sides of the strait, which have just returned to submission in the first few years, will rebel again. The achievements of the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition in the past few years will be ruined. ”

"And the king is in danger of being in a nest without knowing it. Everyone returned to the court, but he still cared for himself to enjoy himself in the Dune Palace. Don't you know that if he stays there for a long time, the more crisis the society will have? ”

After sending Grandpa Bigan away, Shi Ji didn't say anything to me, but asked me to go back and continue the class.

Obviously, Shi Ji didn't think much of what Grandpa Bigan said, and he was also quite dissatisfied. I am afraid that to intercept the Yellow River, Shiji also made a lot of efforts.

But my heart was turbulent. Intercept the water of the Yellow River and raise its water level. What a water conservancy project this must be!

I decided to check it out. So after dinner, I went back to my room to change into a black night coat and flew out of the academy.

When I flew over the mainland, it was late at night. Sure enough, the dunes were brightly lit in the palace. The palace people shuttle back and forth. It's a lively scene.

Half an hour later, I flew over the mainland into the mountains, and soon saw the place where the interception was made.

Under the moonlight, I saw piles of boulders in the middle of the river. On the other side, the water level drops sharply, forming waterfalls between the boulders. The river is less than one-tenth the width of the top and is almost cut off.

What a huge project!

On top of the dry riverbed, I found no less than twenty bodies. The corpses were neatly arranged, all in different places, apparently massacre by professionals.

I looked around, and there was no government guard here. Who did these corpses?

I looked up at the boulder pile and seemed to understand what was going on.

Eighty percent of these people were villagers downstream, who wanted to secretly pick up boulders, but were finally caught by officers and soldiers and publicly executed to set an example.

Do you want to advise the king?

I'm not in the mood to be annoying.

I looked at the corpses of the villagers on the ground, and silently thought in my heart: "What you didn't do, I'll do it for you!" Then he jumped up and flew into the air.

I threw out a circle and slammed into a boulder at the mouth of a waterfall. A gap was opened between the two piles of boulders, and the flow of the waterfall suddenly increased, causing the boulders on both sides to fall one after another. It was not long before the downstream channel was doubled.

Take it when you see it! I don't want a flood to flood downstream and a drought to become a flood.
