Chapter Ninety-Eight: There Will Be No More Wars
The houses of the common people are also completely different from those of the capital, their houses are all made of mud, and at a glance they are all kinds of low houses, and every household has a small yard, and the yard has dried food, and many yards have old and thin old dogs resting on the ground, and when they saw a large number of people passing by, they quickly got up and found a corner and looked at them vigilantly at these strangers.
They saw that the army was not as happy as the people in the capital, but was full of sadness, and Bai Jiangyi asked Zhao Qingshan in confusion to know the answer.
The northern continent is not as good as the capital, this is the Qingyang Pass, and wars are frequent. Seeing the army, the people of Beidazhou thought not of triumph, but that there was going to be war again.
"Yu Wazi!"
A high-pitched female voice interrupted Bai Jiangyi's thoughts, and she got up and walked out of the carriage to see an aunt in a padded jacket trotting to Yu Yi's side.
The appearance of the aunt made everyone stop.
"Aunt Niu." Yu Yi also grinned happily when he saw the person coming, "Why are you here?" ”
Compared with Yu Yi, Aunt Niu's expression was much more solemn: "I just moved, this is closer to the capital." ”
Hearing this, Bai Jiangyi's heart tightened, and he was closer to the capital. But where can it go?
"Yu Wazi, are you back here...... Because it's going to be ...... again."
Aunt Niu didn't dare to say any more, she was already afraid, afraid of the word war.
"No, it's not." Yu Yi comforted, "There won't be any more wars, Aunt Niu, I'm just coming back to see everyone." ”
These words clearly reached the ears of all the people here, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and all of them looked at each other and smiled.
Hearing this, the big stone in Aunt Niu'er's heart fell to the ground, and the whole person seemed much more relaxed, and her face was replaced with a simple and hearty smile: "It's good, it's good not to fight!" Aunt Niu was so happy that she didn't know what to say for a while, she paused, suddenly thought of something, and said: "What, you are busy first, Ming'er will come to Aunt Niu's house for dinner, and Aunt Niu will slaughter a sheep for you!" ”
"Thank you, Aunt Niu." Yu Yi grinned.
Bai Jiangyi froze in place, she had never seen Yu Yi so relaxed.
In the capital, he always looked preoccupied, but here he can have such a relaxed smile. The warm winter light shone on Yu Yi's body, and his eyelashes were like elves dancing. He really looks good when he laughs like this, and when he laughs like this, he seems to have no title of General Guanbei and King Lin, just like a man from an ordinary family.
By the time Bai Jiangyi came back to his senses, Aunt Niu had already left the team with a smile, and Yu Yi looked back and saw her.
He smiled and raised his eyebrows at her and continued to lead the way, and the mission continued to walk, Bai Jiangyi looked at his figure on horseback like this, and looked at it for a long time.
……
The weather in the south is changeable, and the sun is still coming out, and now it is drizzling again. The disaster relief army moved quickly and quickly set up camp with the assistance of local relief men.
Bai Wu quickly threw himself into the distribution of materials, and Shen Jiayi and Yan Jingshan walked around the embankment under the leadership of Liang Mingxu.
The Anling River extends in all directions, and the people of Fuhe County diverted the Anling River a long time ago, leading out a big river three zhang wide and five zhang deep, and then diverting from the big river to this 10,000 acres of fertile land.
The wind on the surface of the river was much stronger than on the ground, and the wind carried waves of different sizes over the water, which crashed on the embankment again and again.
The embankment, which had collapsed half as high, gushed out majestic water every time the wave hit.
The waves of water fell like a waterfall, and the three of them stood on the sidelines and looked very small in comparison.
In order to prevent accidents, Yan Jingshan tied the hemp rope around his waist and tied the other end to the tree. Alone walked some distance further, and after observing for a long time, he returned to several people.
Shen Jiayi took the hemp rope he untied and asked, "Lord Yan, how is it?" ”
Yan Jingshan took a few breaths to calm down his nervous mood and said: "The Anling River Dam is divided into three sections, high on both sides and low in the middle, and the design is very exquisite, which can not only prevent the low water level from irrigating fertile fields in summer, but also intercept the river water for boating. It's just that this year's rain is too sufficient, and the dam can't discharge the flood in time, resulting in too much water storage, coupled with the rain and snow in winter, the temperature is uncertain, and the dam can't bear it. ”
"So what now!" Liang Mingxu was so anxious that he was about to jump up, if the flood could not be controlled, how should he face the people of Jiangzhou.
"Don't be in a hurry." Yan Jingshan lowered his eyes and thought while comforting.
It was impossible to keep Liang Mingxu from being in a hurry, he was so anxious that he paced back and forth, looking very flustered.
The dam is two feet high, but it is more than ten feet wide. If it all collapses, Fuhe County is afraid it will be over. Although all the people have been evacuated, this 10,000 acres of fertile land will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
"Come with me back to camp." Yan Jingshan raised his head and walked back quickly. The other two glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
The stove had been lit in the camp tent, and Yan Jingshan, Shen Jiayi, Liang Mingxu, and Bai Wu were sitting around the square table.
On the table are drawings of the Anling River diversion canal and dam. Yan Jingshan drew a circle in vermilion ink at the place where it had collapsed, and said: "The Anling River Dam, the three dams are one, and they complement each other. If one collapses, the other two will rely on each other to remain undamaged by the flood. Yan Jingshan drew another circle at the junction of the remaining two places, "But these remaining two places will not last long, according to my opinion today, they will last for seven days at most." ”
"That's... That... What a good thing that should be? Liang Mingxu was already carried away at this time, and his speech was slurred.
Yan Jingshan stopped the pen in hand, raised his eyes to look at Liang Mingxu, and said in disgust, "You state pastor, why don't you take care of things like this!" ”
"I ......" Liang Mingxu lowered his head when he was said.
As soon as the Shen family knew that Yan Jingshan was joking, he raised his hand and patted Liang Mingxu, and chuckled: "Lord Yan, go on, don't scare him anymore." ”
The latter nodded and continued: "In order to ensure that the remaining two places are not breached by floods, we will repair the collapsed places within seven days and find a place where the flood can be discharged. ”
After Yan Jingshan finished speaking, he looked around at the three people around him, and found that they were all confused, so he got up and looked for three chopsticks in the puzzled eyes of the three people.
He returned to the table, erected the three chopsticks, leaned them together to form a cone, and said, "This is called a pestle, and there are about ten of them, each one and a half feet high, arranged in the collapsed place, and then they are connected together by logs, and gravel is added to the bottom, so that they can resist the flow of water a little." The crowd finally nodded and understood, "Besides, a lot of mud and grass is needed. Mix them together and tie them up, which is called grass wrapped in mud. It is small, soft and malleable, and it can fit tightly when stacked on the pistle. ”
"Then why find a place to drain the flood?" Shen Jiayi asked.
