Chapter 300: The Ancestral Tomb in Danger

"I see, it's a good idea."

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a fool, he can see through it at all.

In order to build the central capital, Fengyang Mansion built the imperial mausoleum and cut down the nearby big trees, even though there were big trees brought in from other places, but there was always no local convenience.

is also a new word, when Zhu Yuanzhang came, what he saw was that the mountains in Fengyang Mansion were bare, which was very ugly.

Although it is not clear what the formula of cement is, since He Qiu dares to say such a thing, it proves that this raw material should be very common in Fengyang.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang is also relieved, and he does not want to be said to have taken good care of the old people in his hometown in the future.

Yes, the treatment he Zhu Yuanzhang gave to Fengyang was not as good as that of Han Gaozu's Peixian, but it was not too bad, if he really put the only three cement workshops in Fengyang, then he would already be very worthy of the local villagers.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very decisive, and wrote a letter to Zhu Di directly, asking him to arrange this matter, and put the workshop in Fengyang one day earlier, and the villagers in Fengyang would be able to receive benefits one day earlier.

The Son of Heaven soon came to Sizhou, which is where the ancestral tomb built by Zhu Yuanzhang is located, but the ancestral tomb has been repaired for almost ten years and has not been repaired.

Zhu Yuanzhang came this time just to see the progress of the construction of the ancestral tomb.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang came to the ancestral tomb in person, his face became extremely ugly.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a soldier who knows the soldiers, but he doesn't know the soldiers, and when he looks at the local geographical environment, he understands that this place is not suitable for the construction of the ancestral mausoleum at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word, and he didn't pay attention to the officials who came to him to supervise the construction of the ancestral mausoleum, but led the civil and military officials around him to the side of the embankment.

This embankment is very strong, and the whole body is built with large stones, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked the officials around him to know that this is Gaojiayan next to Hongze Lake.

The entire Gaojiayan embankment is higher than the city wall of Sizhou City not far away, but Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral tomb is not far from the south of this Gaojiayan, no more than 100 meters away from this embankment.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a smart person, and he knows at a glance that the lowest part of the bottom of the entire Hongze Lake is probably much higher than the location of the ancestral tomb.

To put it seriously, the entire ancestral tomb is in danger, once the water of Hongze Lake is bigger, I am afraid that the ancestral tomb will be flooded.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang endure this, did he have to report to his ancestors underground that his descendants were not filial, so that your mausoleum was flooded?

Natural disasters are unpredictable!

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see it with his own eyes, his children and grandchildren are likely to see this scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep tone.

"Pull up the officials in charge of building the ancestral mausoleum!"

Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, especially Tang He, Lan Yu and others who knew a little bit about military affairs, He Qiu could also see the signs, and he didn't dare to make any small moves.

Without waiting for a while, an official trotted to the embankment, sweating profusely, and before he could stand still, Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

"You're from the Ministry of Works?"

"The minister is Li Dan, the head of the battalion department of the Ministry of Industry, and he has been building the ancestral mausoleum here for three years."

"Then tell me what will happen to the ancestral tomb if this dam is breached?"

Li Dan's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to speak.

Now even those officials who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the ancestral tomb who were not very proficient in construction things also found that something was wrong.

If you take a closer look at the surrounding terrain, you don't have to think about it, once the embankment is breached, the first thing to bear the brunt of it is the ancestral tomb here.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with anger.

"What? Don't dare to say it? ”

"If you don't dare to say it, I'll say it for you! Once this embankment is breached, the entire ancestral tomb will be lost, and it will sink to the bottom forever! ”

Li Dan trembled all over, and knelt on the ground with a plop and said.

"Death to the minister!"

Li Dan was like this, and the ministers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the embankment also knelt down one after another, and said cautiously.

"Death to the minister."

Zhu Yuanzhang skimmed this section and continued to ask.

"Who set the ancestral tomb in this position in the first place? Isn't he aware of the risks? ”

Li Dan knelt deeper, lowered his head and said.

"I don't know, but I chose this place because His Majesty's grandfather is buried here......"

"As for the big flood, it was discussed at the beginning, once the water was released, the opposite embankment would be dug up to discharge the flood, and strive to protect the ancestral tomb."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was even more angry and pouted the river embankment in the north?

Once the river embankment in the north is dug up, it is the people of Fengyang Mansion who will suffer, and he Zhu Yuanzhang will not be scolded by the people in his hometown?

"Then when you people from the Ministry of Engineering first told me, did they mention the terrain here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered again and again, if they had told the truth about the terrain here when they first reported, how could Zhu Yuanzhang have let the ancestral mausoleum be built here, and he would even rather move the ancestral mausoleum to the imperial mausoleum in Fengyang Mansion and repair these mausoleums together.

Li Dan couldn't speak, just kept kowtowing there, and Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently.

"Drag it down and cut it down!"

Immediately, two mighty men walked out from the side, went up with a big mouth, and then moved to remove Li Dan's chin to prevent him from speaking inferiorly, and then dragged him down and beheaded.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the hundred officials behind him and asked.

"I remember that there were people from the Ministry of Engineering with me, right?"

Immediately, a petty official walked out tremblingly, kowtowed, and said.

"Xia Zong, the director of the Ministry of Ministers and the Ministry of Water, has seen Your Majesty."

"Oh? It just happened to be from the Ministry of Water? Then tell me how dangerous this ancestral tomb is? Is there a solution? ”

Xia Zong didn't dare to slack off, after all, there was already a Li Dan who died in front of his eyes, and said honestly.

"Your Majesty, Hongze Lake has a lot of silt and sediment, the bottom of the whole lake is much higher than before, and there are people in the north who surround the lake to make fields, which makes the water storage and discharge capacity of the entire Hongze Lake greatly reduced.

"And...... And Hongze Lake is likely to move south, and by that time ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang has an evil fire in his heart and moves south?

There is no need to look carefully at the surrounding terrain, once it moves south, the ancestral tomb will definitely sink to the bottom forever, and what he blurted out before is likely to become a reality.

What's more, Sizhou City is also the place where he Zhu Yuanzhang made his fortune back then, but he actually told him that Sizhou City may not be able to be saved?

"You've disappointed me so much!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves angrily, and then stared at the petty official of the Ministry of Industry.

"Do you have any good solutions?"

Xia Zong was frightened, his mind turned sharply, and he stammered.

"I'm afraid we'll have to build a few more dams."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied in his eyes, that is, he also knew that this method could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and once Hongze Lake was flooded, it would still be flooded.
