Chapter Ninety-Three: Changing Blockage to Sparseness
"Or you can only make a useless layout here."
"If you are incompetent, don't push back on the advice of others because of prejudice."
"So as not to miss the opportunity to save Ji County."
Fu Su approached and stared at him, "Lord Xue, did you say yes?" ”
Xue Tao was so frightened that his nose moved, and he retorted with a stiff neck:
"Xiaguan, it is also for the sake of the prince's noble body."
"Today's Ji County, if you are not careful, the whole city will be destroyed, and this matter naturally has to be extremely cautious."
Seeing the tension between the two, the master had no choice but to come out with a smile on his face to reconcile.
"Childe, my lord, since we are in a predicament now."
"No, why don't you wait for someone from the county to come and deal with it."
"Didn't there also be a flood in Gaoxiang in Linjiao the year before last?"
"Presumably, the county keeper will have a good way to deal with this."
This time, Fusu and Xue Tao had a rare unity of opinion.
Turning his head and refuting:
"When the people in the county come down, Ji County will already have no skills to return to the sky."
The Lord Bo immediately retreated, not daring to speak.
The county lieutenant whispered beside him:
"After all, Childe is well-informed, so why don't I wait and hear what Childe has first."
Xue Tao finally compromised and said with a black face:
"Then the lower official, just listen to it."
The county lieutenant invited Fusu to the top.
Fusu asked:
"I only arrived yesterday and don't know much about the current situation."
"Who are you, explain it to me in detail first."
The main Bo immediately took the initiative to ask:
"The lower official came to explain in detail for the son, and all the situations in the city were recorded by the lower official."
Fu Su bowed slightly.
The main book immediately held the map of Ji County and put it in front of Fusu.
Pointing to an area circled in the west:
"All the villages here are on the edge of Weishui, so the flooding is the most serious."
He took the pen and pointed it out to Fusu one by one.
"At present, Qianxiang, Jingxiang, and Dajun Township, these three places are the most serious."
"The Weishui water has exceeded the water level by several meters, submerging all the fields and houses in these townships."
"And what about the people here?"
Seeing that the area was so wide, Fusu tightened his brows.
Lord Bo sighed slightly, "Those who didn't drown are trapped on Bukit Mountain." ”
"At the moment, only this high place is safe."
"The county government didn't send anyone to help?"
Fusu's expression was slightly cold, these people didn't care about the city, not the township.
The lord was stunned, so he had to bite the bullet and say:
"It's not that the county government doesn't save it, it's really a doppelganger."
"The city is also urgent, and after the west of the city is the grain depot of Ji County in the city."
"If the grain depot is destroyed, and the flood recedes, the people will have no food to eat."
Fusu also knew that after the catastrophe, it was necessary to open a warehouse and release relief grain to appease the people.
If there is no food, even if the people survive the natural disaster, they will starve to death after the disaster.
Before he could speak, he reached out and pressed the map.
The dumb voice said, "Let's talk about the city first." ”
"I heard you say you want to block, what are you blocking?"
Without waiting for the lord to speak, the county lieutenant explained abruptly:
"The Weishui water kept flowing into the moat, and the embankment could no longer hold on."
"Keep infiltrating the city."
"Therefore, we have been sending soldiers to block the embankment with sand and gravel to prevent it from overflowing."
The main book also took out the topographic map of the city with great eyes.
The location of the county hall and the grain depot above is very distinct.
The western, eastern and southern parts of Ji County are surrounded by moats.
Only one on the north side was the city gate, so only the Dark River was built.
Today, sewage from the moat has flooded most of the low-lying roads in the western part of the city.
The foot of the house was also soaked in water.
And the water is still spreading to the city, and after more than ten miles, it is indeed the grain depot of Ji County.
"The people west of the city have been moved to safety." The county lieutenant said.
"Just an hour ago, there was already an overflow in the south of the city."
"It's only a matter of time before the levee bursts."
The more Fusu listened, the more frightened he became.
If the south of the city is also flooded, the grain depot will definitely not be able to be saved.
He got up suddenly, and said eagerly:
"Take me to the west of the city, where the floods are worst."
As soon as these words came out, the county officials present were stunned.
The main man reacted immediately.
"Childe, no."
"Don't say that there may be a big flood at any time, and the current water level is waist-high."
"There are many snakes and rats in the moat, and even ordinary people are prone to infection even if they come into contact with it."
"The body of the child's daughter, don't be in danger."
Even Xue Tao, who had never spoken, spoke out to stop him.
"Gongzi Fangcai also said that there will be heavy rain tonight, and the water in the moat will rise more and more sharply."
"The lower official asks the prince to stay in the mansion for the time being, and the person who is sent to return will come back to meet him."
Fusu also knew that this move was impulsive, but if he didn't check it out on the spot.
I don't know what the problem is, and how to talk about it.
Ji County is the last city leading to Longxi, which is really the main road.
There must be no mistakes.
After several dissuasions, Fusu still insisted on going.
It just so happened that at this time, Han Min was back and was looking for Fusu everywhere.
Fusu first left a few county officials who looked at each other.
Go and hear the news of Han Min.
"How?"
Fusu asked anxiously before he could sit down.
"My subordinates didn't go to the west of the city, but I learned some news from the victims in the west of the city."
Han Min reported them one by one, which was not much different from what the county lieutenant and others said.
"Childe, those government soldiers blocked the river embankment with sand and gravel."
"But now, the sand and gravel have been washed away, and the water level has risen because of the blockage."
"If the levee bursts again, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as flooding the road."
Fusu knew the power of the flood.
The county officials thought that if they blocked it and prevented him from spreading, the water level would drop when the Weishui receded.
This is certainly feasible for ordinary floods, but in the current situation, it is clearly just drinking doves to quench thirst.
Because the embankment is accumulating, the water level will only rise higher and higher.
When the next time it breaks through, the force of the flood will destroy all the houses.
The flood would carry the debris directly into the city.
Destroyed grain depots and seriously injured the people.
Fu Su thought for a while, and immediately raised his head and said eagerly:
"No, you can't block it."
"Han Min, you immediately pass on my order to tell Xue Tao."
"Let the government soldiers who are still blocking the embankment stop immediately, and they can't block it anymore."
"It's raining heavily tonight, and they're pulling up the embankment."
"It's just going to make the water gush out more violently."
Fusu asked the chamberlain to find a map of Ji County.
Write and draw along several lines of Weishui and moats.
He had never suffered from related natural disasters, but he knew that the Dujiangyan of the Qin Dynasty lasted for two thousand years.
And it has a huge effect.
And Li Bing, the founder of Dujiangyan, used the method of dredging.
Open the flood and control the water level.
The details of which he did not know.
But the current moat, obviously, what is most needed is not to strengthen the embankment.
Instead, we will find a way to divert the Weishui that continues to flow into other places.
