Chapter 124: Folks, natural disasters are ruthless and people are merciful
Whoa!
The raging waves crashed on the embankment, making a deafening sound, and from time to time they set off huge waves, swaying the bodies of the craftsmen on the embankment, and trying to swallow them into the river.
Walking on the one-zhang-wide stone embankment, Ye Qing felt the tremor of the embankment under his feet.
He looked to the left in disbelief, unable to connect with the Yinghe River in his mind, which had been calm for more than ten years.
On the embankment, many people laboriously used the reins soaked in water, pulled the stone slabs three feet long, two feet wide, and one foot thick, shouted trumpets, braved the heavy rain, and braved the wind and waves to build the embankment and dam.
The perseverance on everyone's faces touched Ye Qing's heart.
Inexplicably, I thought of the martyrs in the previous life, who were only recorded in books, who were not afraid of danger and hardship, and used their flesh and blood to forge an iron-blooded Great Wall and establish a great kingdom, so that their descendants could be fed, clothed warmly, and enjoy peace.
The same is true for these migrant workers.
"Lord Prefect, the embankment is dangerous, this is not a good place, you go down quickly!"
Far away, Su Cheng saw Chen Yuming and hurriedly ran towards Chen Yuming.
shouted loudly at the top of his voice, so that his shouting words did not dissipate in the heavy rain and the sound of the waves.
When the surrounding people heard that it was the prefect who came, they all turned their heads to look.
Seeing the unique scarlet official uniform of Huaiyang Mansion, their eyes were all moved and hopeful.
Seeing this, Chen Yuming slowed down his pace and shouted loudly: "Everyone is fighting against the flood on the river embankment, putting life and death aside, how can this official, as the prefect of Huaiyang, stay out of it." ”
Suddenly, a famous man with rain on his face wet his eyes with all the emotion.
Many tears flowed down their eyes, mixed with the rainwater, and dripped on the embankment.
Chen Yuming shouted loudly again: "Folks, natural disasters are ruthless, people are merciful, God has sent us a big disaster, and wants to collapse our homeland." ”
"But we must not be discouraged, we must work together, and we will definitely be able to build a good dam to resist this merciless flood and defend our homeland."
"Well, the prefect said it well!"
"Brothers, the prefect is here, this water will definitely not be discharged!"
"Work hard, hey! Build a dam, hey......"
The rousing trumpet, shattering the sound of rain and waves, resounded on the embankment, as if to declare war on the merciless God.
Su Cheng, the warden of the workshop, wiped the rain from his face and looked curiously at the young official who was following the prefect.
The face of the god like jade, coupled with the black clothes of the officials in the torture room, made him instantly think of Ye Qing, a very famous newcomer from the mansion today.
In less than half an hour, the torture room officials who solved several very troublesome trivial cases.
He didn't understand why the prefect would bring such a person who had nothing to do with the berm to control the water at such a dangerous moment.
The three of them walked all the way until they reached a three-foot embankment, and then stopped.
Ye Qing looked at the collapsed embankment at his feet that could not resist the waves, and it was indeed as reported by someone who came to the medical hall.
It didn't take long for this section of the embankment to be like a piece of guard plate missing from the barrel, allowing the water of the Yinghe River to flow into the fertile soil behind the embankment.
He stared to his right.
Under the embankment, there are piles of boulders and thick timbers, and many people are working together to carry these materials for the construction of the embankment.
Chen Yuming's face was full of worry, and he frowned and looked at Ye Qingdao:
"Ye Qing, you have a good life, let's see, see if there is a way."
Ye Qing, who nodded heavily, thought about countermeasures.
The memories of the previous life were quickly recalled in his mind, searching for ways that might help control the flooding of the Yinghe River.
Suddenly, he remembered a text, and the shape of the embankment that he saw on the embankment of some dangerous rivers when he was growing up and traveling.
Hurry up and organize the language in your mind to explain these things.
Su Cheng on the side, the curiosity in his eyes turned into surprise, he didn't expect the prefect to bring Ye Qing over, and he actually asked Ye Qing for a way to save the river embankment.
He has been a workshop official all his life, and he has been promoted to warden for 12 years.
As for the experience of drought prevention and flood control, no one in Huaiyang is unsurpassed.
He also knew that now that the situation was urgent, he was helpless, let alone the prefect.
It is inevitable to find capable people to help and think of ways to save the river embankment.
But looking for a torture chamber official who has nothing to do with it, he is still a young man.
This, this is completely a rush to the doctor.
Su Cheng couldn't help but feel dissatisfied in his heart, but after all, it was the prefect who brought him, maybe there would really be a good way to cure the flood?
Don't wait for him to ask.
Ye Qing bowed to Su Cheng, and said quickly: "Ye Qing, the official in the lower execution room, has seen Su Dian, and dares to ask the embankments along the Yinghe River, but they are all flat?" ”
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said quickly:
"The Yinghe River is hundreds of miles long, the river channel is flat, the river bank is basically straight, there are few meandering, this section of Huaiyang territory, there are four big bends, seven small bends, here are seven small river bays."
"For thousands of years, the embankments of the Yinghe River have been built along the riverbank."
As soon as he heard this, Ye Qing knew why this tall embankment was still made of stones, and why it couldn't resist the steeply rising water level.
He stretched out his hand, swayed in the air, and said quickly: "This has to be changed, the embankment on the river bank has to be built with a rugged edge, like the fins of a fish." ”
"In this way, the waves that slap the river can be separated by the top of the fins, and the currents will hit each other, and the force will be canceled out, and when the slap on the river bank, the force will be insufficient and pose a threat to the river embankment."
These words made Chen Yuming's eyes flash.
And Su Cheng seemed to have an aura, but he couldn't grasp it, and he didn't understand the reason for the time being.
Ye Qing, who looked left and right, saw a bucket covered by a wooden lid on the side.
He lifted the lid, and the bucket was full of clean water, which was prepared for the people to drink the clean water.
Ye Qing picked up the bucket with his right hand, and pointed to the stone foreclosure piled up on the side with his left:
"The water splashed on the stone, and the force of the impact on the stone was a force."
Crash~
The water in the bucket struck the stone in an arc.
All the water hit one point on the stone.
Su Cheng's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Ye Qing meant.
He quickly stepped forward, picked up the wooden cover that had been removed, stood it up in front of the stone, and said quickly:
"Let's build a fish fin embankment, and the water that hits the river will flow like this wooden cover."
"In this way, the force of the river hitting the river bank will also be divided into two small ones, not to mention that the force becomes smaller, if there are a few more wooden covers, the water flow separated by each wooden cover will be even smaller, and the water will offset each other."
"In the end, the force of the slap on the embankment must be much weaker, and the embankment will definitely be able to resist."
As a good old man in the workshop, he just demonstrated it on the spot, saw the actual water flow change, and immediately figured out what was going on.
Then, Su Cheng seemed to have been opened up to the second pulse of Ren Du, and one by one spiritual lights appeared in his mind.
On his dark and rough face, a childlike smile appeared, and his hand, which was white and wrinkled by the river water, pointed to the rolling waves of Yinghe River:
"Now that the river is so turbulent that the fish-fin dam has to be built from the recess of the upstream bay to slow down the flow from the top down."
"If we build it all the way downstream, we can completely slow down the flow of the entire section of the Yinghe River, and when the river levels down, the existing dam height can completely block the impact of the river."
Su Cheng, who looked excited, looked at the embankment that had been washed away by the raised part on the side, and said with bright eyes:
"Half a day, and half a day, mobilize most of the manpower to come here, and it is completely possible to build a fish fin dam to protect this section of the river embankment."
Speaking of this, Su Cheng looked at Ye Qing with a gentle smile on his face, his reverence was beyond measure, and he grabbed Ye Qing's hand excitedly, shook it up and down, grinned and said gratefully:
"Ye Yan, you have saved many people in Huaiyang City."
"I, Sucheng, thank you for the people of Huaiyang, please accept my worship."
This Sioux City, who has been in the workshop all his life, is said to be a Xu official, but in fact, it is more suitable to say that it is purely a craftsman.
He is simple for the people, who can work for the people of Huaiyang, that is his benefactor.
Without saying a word, he bent his knees and knelt towards Ye Qing.
"Su Dian, I can't help it, I can't help it, I'm also a citizen of Huaiyang!"
Ye Qing, who was quick-eyed, grabbed Su Cheng's hand and wanted to pull it up.
But Su Cheng, a perennial laborer, was so powerful that he bent down with Ye Qingdu.
forced Ye Qing to hurriedly turn sideways and avoid this kneeling.
Then, Ye Qing helped Su Cheng up and continued: "Dian Su, I still have an idea. ”
