When Sun Cheng came out of the cement factory, his body was already covered with cement ash, and nothing was clean except for his eyes and mouth.

The guard was also an official from the Henan Prefecture who defended the cement factory, and he was already from the side, very skillfully carrying a bucket of water covered with a rag.

"A few Shangguan, wipe your face with this oilcloth first, and then rinse it with water."

As he spoke, the official opened a leather bag on his waist, took out a rag soaked in rapeseed oil from it, and handed it to Sun Cheng.

Walking around the cement factory in person, Sun Cheng took the tarpaulin very directly at this time, carefully wiped every inch of his entire face, and then rinsed it with clean water.

The rest of the men did the same.

When everyone showed a clean face, Sun Cheng looked at the official who was standing aside and never left, with a flattering look on his face.

He waved his hand, "Go down, we have not been here today."

The official couldn't help nodding: "You know, you know, the villain doesn't know anything today."

Sun Cheng snorted, and then walked out of the cement factory with his subordinates.

Outside, the people who stayed outside the factory gate had already led the calming horse.

Sun Cheng held the reins in his hand, but he did not rush to get on the horse, but turned his head to look at the subordinates who had entered the cement factory with him.

"What do you think?"

Eucalyptus has never had a clue until now, and everyone in Jinyi has long been on fire in their hearts.

One shook his head and whispered, "There's nothing wrong with it."

Another person also said: "My subordinates compared the production process of the cement factory built by Zhang Shilang at the Taipingfu mine, and found no non-compliance with the process."

"If it's too normal, it's a little abnormal......

Someone whispered again.

The crowd looked over.

Sun Cheng also looked at it with a surging gaze, and then nodded under the man's nervous gaze: "It's really too normal, it seems abnormal."

In front of the cement factory, Jinyiwei and his party, disguised as merchants, had begun to slowly move towards the depths of the valley.

Sun Cheng had already driven his horse to Anle Village at this time.

He said in a deep voice: "The cement factory in Fudian Town was built by the political envoy of Henan Province and the yamen of the prefect of Henan Province, and the Ministry of Industry sent people to supervise production. The people in the factory understand that it is impossible for idlers to enter easily. When we enter the factory today, how do those people react?"

After finishing speaking, Sun Cheng's face became a little solemn.

At this time, the more normal things are, the more abnormal they are.

It is absolutely impossible for those ordinary people who work in the cement factory not to be curious about the sudden appearance of themselves and others.

After Sun Cheng's reminder, several Jinyi guards who were also riding horses immediately moved their eyes.

"I'm afraid that what the appeasement said is the most likely! The people who were working waited for me to enter the factory, and no one looked at them."

"This is the most wrong thing! If you are an ordinary worker, you will have a tight deadline, and you should have doubts and curiosity about the sudden appearance of strangers."

"So, there is something wrong with these people who work in the cement factory!"

Several subordinates had already reviewed the situation encountered after everyone entered the factory, and instantly had the idea of calling the officials of Henan Prefecture to send soldiers and horses to block the entire cement plant.

Sun Cheng shook his head: "It's not in a hurry at this time, these people may not be normal, but they shouldn't have participated in anything. Otherwise, when they see us, they will think about how to escape."

"Maybe they don't know who we really are?"

"Or are they going to wait for me to leave before they hide from me and run away quietly?"

The team continued to pass in the direction of Anle Village, and everyone on horseback felt more and more strange in their hearts.

Sun Cheng's eyes were gloomy, staring gloomily at the sky that had become a little gray because of the appearance of the cement factory, and looking at the mountain trees that had fallen on cement ash.

"Don't startle the snake first, it will be dark in a few hours, and when it gets dark, a few people will go out quietly.

Take the tooth card of our Jinyi Guard, go directly to Luoyang City to mobilize troops and horses, if you really find out anything wrong here, listen to the signal outside the mountain pass!"

A few people frowned, but they could only act like this now.

If there is really a problem here, they only have these ten or so people now, and once the other party knows about it, they can't even send the news in the end.

Sun Cheng rode on horseback, looking in the direction of Anle Village, and then at the quarrying area on the hillside opposite the village.

Although he noticed that something was wrong in the cement factory, he couldn't figure out what was wrong at the moment.

Looking at the pieces of quarrying areas, Sun Cheng frowned for no reason.

What's the problem?

……

The same doubts have always haunted Zhu Yunxi's heart.

I've deduced all the possibilities in my mind, but I can't figure out what went wrong.

The dams and dams were built by the officials of the governor of the river and the river workers who recruited them.

In this process, all the construction process was put under the nose of the imperial court.

In addition to the internal inspection and supervision of the yamen of the governor of the river, the yamen of the three divisions of Henan Province also sent officials to supervise, and the yamen at the prefecture and county levels where each section of the river is located in the local area are also stationed to supervise the work.

In addition to the intervention of all the above government forces, the imperial court also gathered officials from the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Officials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect the river when the yamen of the governor of the river was first established.

It can be said that the imperial court attaches unparalleled importance to the matter of governing the river.

As small as the entry and exit of a penny, the imperial court needs to record it in eucalyptus.

Where each cart of material comes from, who buys it, and where it is used, every item is recorded in the eucalyptus.

It's just that the Yamen of the river governor located in Kaifeng City, the eucalyptus warehouse that stores records, has reached the point where it needs to be expanded in just half a year.

Such detailed records are not impossible.

Long back to the Qin Dynasty, a brick on the Great Wall recorded who made it. The Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses buried under the soil of Guanzhong today correspond to a craftsman in each one.

But looking at the model in front of him, it was also reserved for the imperial court to launch random inspections at any time, and the two sections of the dam and reduction dam under the river embankment that started construction at the same time, Zhu Yunxi didn't understand it at all, that is, there were thieves making trouble.

But how did they make the dam and the dam collapse completely if they couldn't withstand the impact of a few heads?

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhou Guangli beside him, who was in charge of the construction of the river in Mengjin County, Henan Province.

"At that time, the water from the upstream came down, hit the dam, and collapsed in an instant?"

Zhou Guangli nodded heavily and affirmed, "The minister had just arrived at the wooden bridge laid on the dam. I saw that all the water upstream rushed in, and the dam resisted a few breaths at most, and then it was completely washed away by the flood. Chen is absolutely not mistaken! That's how it was!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, his brows furrowed, and his eyes stared solemnly at the dam and dam in front of him.

If everything is as Zhou Guangli said, then the possibility that someone on the side of the dam at that time blew up the dam body with gunpowder underwater.

If it was really the thieves who used gunpowder to blow up the embankment, Zhou Guangli would definitely be able to hear the difference.

And after the water came down, it only took a few breaths for the dam to be washed away.

This undoubtedly shows that the problem lies in the dam itself.

Just looked at the two dam bodies, but Zhu Yunxi hesitated about this.

The two ends of the dam in front of him were built in accordance with the description presented to the imperial court by the governor of the river, Yamen.

In the end, it is said that it will always be stored in the river and play a role in scouring the downstream riverbed.

The whole is made of steel bars and cement concrete. In accordance with the regulations, in the river

Below the bed, the silt of the riverbed should be excavated to a depth of at least ten zhang, followed by the pouring of concrete dam.

Zhu Yunxi approached the dam.

There are small spots on the surface of the cement columns.

These are the marks left by the river workers striking with sledgehammers after the pouring was completed.

The presence of these whitish spots indicates that these dams are fully compliant.

Zhou Guangli followed Zhu Yunxi's side, looked at the spots left on the surface of the cement pillar, and said with memories on his face: "Your Highness, the most difficult thing to build on the entire river is these dams, which are connected one after another, shrinking the river below the surface of the river and accelerating the erosion of the downstream riverbed.

Therefore, the dams on the rivers in Mengjin County were all built in accordance with the requirements set by the imperial court.

In order to make up the required cement and steel bars, the governor's yamen and the three divisions of Henan Province have mobilized almost all of the entire Henan Province.

The steel bars, Chen watched them buried in the cement, and his heart was distressed. The minister can guarantee that there is no one on the river who has deducted the greedy ink, and nothing has happened that is shoddy!"

Zhu Yunxi pressed his palm on the cement pillar, looked at Zhou Guangli with excited eyes, and nodded lightly.

He walked to the dam again.

The construction method of the entire dam is exactly the same as the original dam built in the river.

In reality, the masonry soil bag is sunk to the bottom of the riverbed, and then the bluestone strips are sunk as the core foundation, and the fine masonry and gravel are sunk to fill the gaps in the stone strips.

After the base is stabilized, it is layered upwards.

When the entire dam is raised above the water, layers of soil bags are filled on the upstream side to completely block the infiltration of the river.

Everything was also built in accordance with the requirements of the governor of the river, the yamen, and the imperial court.

"In this way, there is no problem with the dams and dams themselves......

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered, and a trace of helplessness and powerlessness of his fist hitting the cotton rose in his heart.

Zhou Guangli didn't know how to explain it for a while.

I can't say that all this may really be done by the Yellow River Dragon Lord?

Wang Xinling, the governor of the Yamen Envoy Division, walked to the dam with a frown.

"On the way here, the minister looked at the construction method of damming and reducing dams. Everything was built according to the regulations, how could it be destroyed by a few heads of water?"

Wang Xinling did not believe that there was any Yellow River Dragon Lord in this world, if there really were, before the imperial court made up its mind to control the river, there would not have been so many disasters, causing the people on both sides of the strait to suffer from disasters constantly.

That rumor is not true.

The imperial court governed the river, built dams and dams, and blocked the road of the Yellow River Dragon Prince, so it led to an accident in the river.

But what about before the imperial court began to govern the river?

You must know that in the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River for thousands of miles, those people who rely on the Yellow River to live have countless customs.

Many of them come around the Yellow River, and offerings are made on the riverbank every year to pray for the tranquility of the Yellow River.

The piety of the people of the Central Plains is rigorous.

If there really is a dragon lord of the Yellow River, seeing that the people on both sides of the strait are so pious, they should not set off a disaster from time to time.

The more Wang Xinling thought about it, the more depressed he became.

Syllable.

His palms slammed against the dam.

Just in the blink of an eye, Wang Xinling sighed lightly, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes hesitantly looked at the dam under his palm.

Wang Xinling's palm was attached to a bluestone strip on the section of the dam.

He frowned, rubbing his palm against the bluestone bar gently.

It's moist!

As a result, Wang Xinling's did not become more and more clamped.

Tian Mai walked over from the side and said in a low voice, "What did Governor Wang find?"

Although his inquiry was not loud, it still made Zhu Yunxi, Zhou Guangli and others look over.

Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly: "What did you find?"

king

Xinling looked at Zhou Guangli with a puzzled look: "Master Zhou, these bluestones are so moist and delicate, they are still oily?"

Zhou Guangli shook his shoulders and hurriedly stepped forward.

He said, "No, bluestone is taken from the local stone mines of Henan Prefecture, which is dry and strong, and has always been the best material on the river."

As he spoke, Zhou Guangli had already walked to Wang Xinling's side.

Wang Xinling pursed his lips, and his eyes swept over Zhou Guangli with some deep meaning: "Master Zhou can take a look at it himself."

Zhou Guangli glanced back at the imperial grandson who was standing nearby, his eyes were already gloomy.

And behind him, Tian Mai was already showing his eyes to several subordinates.

As long as it is confirmed that there is really a problem with this dam, then this Zhou Guangli will naturally take it down as soon as possible.

Then everything he said before is a lie!

Zhou Guangli also seemed to notice that the atmosphere was a little different.

He swallowed nervously, his arm hesitantly and slowly raised.

When he put his palm directly against the bluestone.

Wang Xinling, who was on the side, let out a sound from his nose, and reached out and pressed Zhou Guangli's palm on the bluestone.

Zhou Guangli trembled, and the moment his palm touched the bluestone, his whole face changed greatly, and he turned pale.

"Impossible!"

"It's impossible!"

Zhou Guangli exclaimed, his face full of shock.

In just an instant, he had already turned around, and under the gaze of the river workers around him who were attracted by his two shouts, he knelt straight in front of Zhu Yunxi's eyes.

Zhou Guangli raised his head: "Your Highness, the minister is wronged!" There's definitely something wrong with this bluestone! Can...... Cocoa ...... I really didn't know about it beforehand! When the material was received, the minister was staring at it with his own eyes, and there was absolutely no problem at that time!"
