Chapter 232: South-to-North Water Diversion

An Huan remembered that when they first came here, they had passed through a place that was on high ground, separated by a mountain from the flooded hell.

If this flood pours out, even if the mountains are flooded, they will never be able to pass through that place.

Chu Xingze naturally remembered there, and An Bin's words were like a light in the night, giving him a clear direction for his thinking.

"I remember that in that place, if the flood water that was about to overflow in the Grand Canal was diverted into the dry canals, the problem would be solved. But the crux of the matter is how to cross the mountains and lead the stream directly......"

Chu Xingze sighed, this question was always entangled in his heart, leaving him with no solution in his heart. After checking here for a while, I still can't do anything, so I can only go back first.

As soon as they returned to the hotel where they lived, Chu Xingze and An Wei sat on one side to discuss countermeasures, and Hongqiang served beside them.

Their first thought was to dig a large channel to connect the two places, so that the flood water from the Grand Canal could flow through the channel into the dry riverbed on the other side of the mountain, so that the problems of both of them could be solved. But it will take several months to open the tunnel at the nearest distance.

This problem lingered in the hearts of An Wei and Chu Xingze, and they never found a good way to solve it.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and Red Rose prepared lunch for the two of them to enjoy. Chu Xingze shook his head gently, the problem has not been solved yet, how can he have the mind to eat, An Wei patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Rice is to be eaten, and now I can't think of a suitable way, I can't let myself go hungry. If you are hungry, who will solve this problem, the people of Li are still counting on you to solve the crisis. ”

The smile on the corner of An Bin's lips was extremely bright, which made Chu Xingze look pleasing to the eye.

No matter how much sorrow and boredom there is, it will be swept away in an instant. He slowly shook An Bin's hand, his eyes filled with intense love.

An Wei didn't see through anything, she just smiled slightly, and walked with Chu Xingze towards the restaurant on the side.

Picking up chopsticks, they ate slowly.

An Bin's gaze was cast on a painting next to her, her eyes lit up instantly, and she put down her chopsticks and ran to the painting.

"I wonder what this painting means?" An Wei took the painting and asked a subordinate next to him.

After glancing at it, the subordinate instantly replied to An Bin's words.

"Princess, this painting is about the riots more than ten years ago. At that time, there were many bandits and robbers in this place, and the current prefectural magistrate had not yet taken office, and these bandits dug a lot of tunnels in the mountains to hide their treasures, and after the new prefectural magistrate took office, they were exterminated one by one......

Although the logic of this subordinate's narration is not very strong, it finally made An Wei understand that there used to be many bandits here, and the thieves dug a lot of secret passages on their bodies.

This subordinate's words made An Wei and Chu Xingze's faces more intensely happy, they put down the chopsticks in their hands, they didn't even care about eating, and went directly to the county government to find the county order.

The prefectural magistrate had just finished his lunch, and he was going to hold a sword and make a gesture.

"Lord County Commander, tell us about your banditry back then." Chu Xingze strode over, and An Huan actually pulled him to the side and asked him to tell about the events of the year.

The county order was confused, and for some reason the two of them let themselves tell it at the moment, but they could only comply.

"Back then, I was just a martial artist, and after joining the army, I established some military achievements. But because of my injury, the emperor asked me to come here to make a county order, and at that time, robbers were rampant, and they almost hollowed out the entire mountain, and it took a lot of effort to catch them......"

The county order is specific, and what Chu Xingze and An Wei are most concerned about is the tunnels they dug.

Fortunately, the county commander has a better memory, and he remembers the location he went to clearly.

After getting the specific composition, Chu Xingze found that by digging in one of them, hundreds of people could dig it through in one day and one night. Let the dry river connect with the Grand Canal, and the crisis can be successfully resolved.

The two of them immediately arranged for men and horses, and it took a day and a night to finally connect the two rivers. After opening a passage in the Grand Canal, the flood water inside poured out and instantly filled the secret passage.

The flood water in the Grand Canal eventually crossed the mountains and successfully flowed into the dry canal on the opposite side. The water level of the Grand Canal, which had been poised for development, dropped significantly, and not only the flood crisis was resolved, but even the drought crisis on the other side of the mountain was alleviated.

An Wei and Chu Xingze returned from their inspection, and the mood of the two was obviously much better.

"Master, you can sleep well now, you and your wife don't have to work so hard." Red Rose sighed with a smile.

In the past few days, An Wei and Chu Xingze have not slept well or eaten well, but now that it has been resolved, the two of them can finally sleep well.

Hearing this, the expression on An Bin's face became much more relaxed and calm. The two of them had a simple bite to eat and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, before he got up from his bed, he found that the door had been knocked on by Red Rose.

"Oh no, something is wrong!" Hearing this, they immediately got up from their beds.

Thinking that it was a flood sweeping again, they never imagined that when they came to the gate, they found that many people had come outside.

"The grass people knock on the princess and princess......" They shouted loudly in unison, and then knelt on the ground to kowtow to Chu Xingze and An Wei.

Only then did I react, it turned out that the big thing that Hongqiang just said was that these people came to thank him.

These people have suffered so much that they have little to eat, but they still give the most precious food they have at hand. Some held eggs, others held a few chickens, and some elderly people expressed their gratitude to them in tears.

Seeing such a situation, Chu Xingze and An Wei hurried over and asked them all to get up, but these people were too grateful to Dade and insisted on giving the things they had prepared to Chu Xingze and An Wei.

"We understand your kindness, we can't accept these things, and please go back ......" Facing everyone, Chu Xingze said an impassioned speech, which greatly encouraged these people.

In order to express their gratitude to Chu Xingze, these people also deliberately made a wooden plaque, wrote words of commendation to Shen Chu Xingze, and stood near the city gate.

Although the plaque is a bit rudimentary, the meaning is clear.

commanding the county order to deal with the aftermath, Chu Xingze and An Wei are here to explore around. After finding that the flood was resolved, many of them had already begun reconstruction work.

They wandered outside until dusk, and then the two of them went back.

"The prince is really wise and brave, this time I am convinced." An Wei smiled and expressed his appreciation to Chu Xingze.

She once thought that Chu Xingze was not so powerful, but after getting along for so long, she found that he was the real person with great wisdom, but he had been holding back all along.
