Chapter 50: The Minister's Willingness
Xiao Yuanhao looked at everyone with disdain, were the ancients so stupid?
"Flood distribution, as the name suggests, is to divide the flood that was originally one stream into two streams."
Xiao Yuan really wanted to find something to show to everyone, so he asked Gao Hongan to bring a glass of water and an empty cup.
"See, this glass of water is like the total amount of flood water that was supposed to be leaked downstream. This empty cup is like a wasteland that is to be used as a flood lake. ”
Xiao Yuanhao poured half of the water into the empty cup: "I poured half of the water into this empty cup, which is to divide half of the flood that was originally going to rush downstream. In this way, we have two gates. One gate discharges the flood water downstream, and one gate discharges the flood water into the flood discharge lake. The total amount of flood water remains the same, but the amount of flood water shared between the two places is smaller. ”
Prime Minister Xiao Longzhuang was the first to react: "If this is the case, maybe the two places will not have to be flooded." ”
This time, Xiao Yuan clapped his hands and praised Xiao Longzhuang: "That's it!" Uncle and grandfather, you are worthy of being the prime minister of my Dayan, but you are much smarter than these people. ”
"Gong Jin, you just said that this land belongs to the public, yes or no?"
Xiao Yuanhao stepped on the periphery of the circle that she painted as a flood lake with her little feet, and said, "No wonder Yu Gong refuses to divide the flood, it turns out that he is afraid that his land will be flooded." ”
was reminded by Xiao Yuanhao, and everyone stretched their necks to look at the map.
Sure enough, Yu's land is close to the flood lake.
If this flood lake really can't hold this flood, then it will be flooded in Yu's land.
The position of the people whose fields were far away from the flood lake was shaken again, and they hurriedly changed their words and stood on Xiao Yuanhao's side.
No one in this palace is blind, the king has made it clear that he wants to listen to the words of the ten princesses, even if the ten princesses are joking, with the king here, who dares to say a word?
Yu Conglin's face was already ugly, Xiao Yuan still thought that his heart was not blocked enough, and said with a smile: "Yu Gong, if you are really afraid that your family's land will be flooded, it is better to let your servants dig a deep ditch around this flood lake, so that you can buffer it." ”
Yu Conglin hated the root of his teeth, but he didn't dare to say anything, did he want him to say, Tenth Princess, the place where you are going to make a flood lake is his family's fertile land?
But Yu Conglin was really unwilling, so he simply ripped Sun Chang, the Duke of Dingguo, and the Duke of England into the water: "Sun Gong, Han Gong, the land of your two families is also close to this flood lake, aren't you afraid of being flooded?" ”
Dingguo Gongsun Chang glanced at Yu Conglin: "Yu Gong is a minister in vain, at this time it is the time to share your majesty's worries and solve problems for the people, but Yu Gong is reluctant to even give up this little field!" ”
Sun Chang patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, if this flood lake is not big enough, the minister Sun Chang is willing to sacrifice his family's land!" ”
The words were so loud that all the people in the temple fell silent.
The British Duke also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing!" ”
Xiao Qian's eyes showed appreciation, and Chong Dingguo and Ying Gong nodded: "Sun Gong and Han Gong have a heart." What do you think? ”
The people who are next to the flood lake in the fields have all expressed their positions, and the rest of the people, who doesn't want to sell a good job in front of the king?
All of a sudden, there was a "minister's willingness" in the hall.
Xiao Yuan thought that he had entered the wedding scene.
Xiao Qian raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and asked Yu Conglin: "Yu Gong, what do you think?" ”
Yu Conglin almost crushed his teeth, who doesn't want to have a good reputation? He also wanted to nod his head easily and say "the minister is willing".
But the problem is that this flood lake not only allows him to build 20,000 acres of rice fields, but also allows him to build more than 10,000 acres of fertile land.
Is this something that can be decided with a touch of upper and lower lips?
The two old foxes, the Duke of England and the Duke of Dingguo, do not have much land here, and of course they are willing to give it to gain a good reputation.
Only bitter him, say yes, this large flood lake is going to cut his flesh. Say no, Xiao Qian's smiling appearance was like a life-urging ghost, which made his scalp tingle.
Yu Conglin was hesitant, and urged the ghost Xiao Qian to speak: "Why didn't Yu Gong speak? Is it unwilling? ”
How dare Yu Conglin say that he is unwilling, his teammate Jin Min nodded busily, he is a pug for the king and His Royal Highness the Tenth Princess, and he can't beat a group of people alone.
He had to grit his teeth and say word by word: "The king, the minister is also willing." ”
20,000 acres of fertile land, this is a stab in his heart!
"Good!" Xiao Qianbian also wanted to pour some salt water on Lin's wound, "Yu Gong is really a person who understands righteousness, and he is my great Yan Liangchen, and his high wind and bright festival are really admirable." ”
Yu Conglin wiped his sweat and sneered: "The king praised it." ”
"In this case, this matter will be handed over to Duke Jin and Duke Yu to handle it together, Fu Anjun, you will help from the side. It won't be long before the Qinglong Dam is topped, and this floodway is just for you to dig it out in one day! ”
It was a big job to dig a deep, wide, and not short floodway. Even if all the requisitioned servants from nearby villages and towns are rushed over to start work, it is not easy to dig them out in one day.
But it was such a coincidence, I don't know which family dug a ditch and diverted the water of the Lanjiang River to irrigate the fields. The servants only widened the ditch and it became a floodway.
On the second day, the Qinglong Dam and the floodway gates were opened at the same time, and the Lanjiang River mixed with yellow mud was like two yellow dragons, roaring away in two different directions.
As Xiao Yuanhao said, except for a few townships in Zhangping County whose crops were affected, the other counties in the lower reaches of the Lanjiang River are all safe and sound.
Yujing City was also saved.
The flood lake is also the same as Xiao Yuanhao said, only the one that Xiao Yuanhao has drawn out.
The terrain here is really low-lying, and the Yu family dug drainage canals outside the 20,000 acres of rice fields in order to drain the water. This is just in time to come in handy, and it has become the boundary that demarcates the flood lake.
Xiao Qian listened to the report of Xiao Longzhuang, Fu'an Jun, and was in a good mood, exempted Zhangping County from paying taxes this year, and spread out a map on the desk, pointed to the flood lake, and said: "This flood lake is one hundred and fifty hectares. Lonely remembers, Yu Conglin opened 200 hectares of rice fields, right? ”
Xiao Longzhuang nodded and said, "The king's expectation is good. That Yu Conglin really privately raised the homeless people to open up the land, these two hundred hectares of land, but it takes a lot of manpower. I don't know how many people he hid. ”
"Check! Check it out for Lonely! ”
Although Xiao Qian was angry, his face was still indifferent: "Fu Anjun, you go in person and tell Yu Conglin that Gu knows what he has done." Let him honestly hand over all the tenant farmers who have been raised privately.
The ditch he dug came in handy in digging the floodway this time, and another hundred and fifty hectares of land were released, so he would not pursue it this time. If he dares to do it again, watch his head! ”
"As for Jin Min......
Xiao Qian habitually curled his fingers again, and gently knocked on the desk: "Find someone and give it to Gong Qi." Lone doesn't want to see Jin Min anymore, so hurry up and do it. ”
Xiao Longzhuang agreed one by one, Xiao Qian nodded to the flood lake again, and this time the corners of his mouth finally put a smile on his mouth: "If it weren't for Ah Hao, Gu would still be kept in the dark." Yu Conglin's remaining fifty hectares of rice fields were all rewarded to Ah Hao. ”
