The sand table that Bo Yu left on the bank yesterday was still there, and he turned the Shenzhen iron rod into a fine branch to point to the ground, and drew a new channel of a big river on the sand table to demonstrate his water control plan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough there was only Zong Yan around, Bo Yu still explained very carefully.

Originally, the main channel of the Great River, after passing between Helan Mountain and Dalong Mountain, then went straight from west to east, and joined the north and south Luoshui. At that time, Boyi collapsed Dalong Mountain, once formed a huge dammed lake in the upper reaches, and half a year later, with the earthquake bursting, the dammed lake was discharged to form a vast river flood.

On the west side of the river, an alluvial plain has been formed, which is the prototype of the so-called 800-mile Qinchuan in later generations, but it is only a prototype at present, and most of the real 800-mile Qinchuan in later generations are still soaking in the water at the moment. Bo Yu, who has been inherited by Vena, seems to have seen this fertile field through time and space.

Bo Yu intends to open up this new waterway in the middle reaches of the river, is around the edge of the river flood, after crossing Helan Mountain, along Helan Mountain north, to the foot of Yin Mountain, and then along the Yin Mountain, and then along the south of Luliang Mountain, draw a "several" shape, at the south end of Luliang Mountain, re-merge into the original river channel.

Different from the treatment of Huaize from the outside to the inside, the water of the river should first open up this new channel, and then lead the central river to flood into the surrounding large rivers, drain the silt, and form new tributaries, which is to control the water from the inside out. With the painting of the sacred iron branch in Boyu's hand, the river floodplain has turned into a new fertile field exposed to the water, and the water and soil are all controlled.

Zong Yan widened his eyes like copper bells and said, "Reopen the river and divert the water of the big river!"

Boyu: "Three thousand miles." ”

Zong Yan gasped and said, "This is not an ordinary ditch, but the course of a big river, when will it be dug up?" Why do you want to draw such a big box and divert the river so far?"

Bo Yu smiled bitterly: "There's no way, the river is so big, the so-called three thousand miles is as little as possible." The reason why it is so far away is because of the high terrain and the winding drainage. In the past, the big river course went straight, and the drop between Helan Mountain and Dalong Mountain was too large, and the flow speed was too rapid, which has always been difficult to control the water and soil, so it is better to change the course.

When the construction started, of course, it was not with the strength of one department, but with the joint efforts of all departments along the way and the assistance of all departments in the world, in fact, there was no need to excavate 3,000 miles. In many places, the mountain valleys are natural waterways, and other rivers and waterways can be borrowed along the way, and there are detailed considerations about how the various departments should divide their labor, when they should be completed, and how they should cooperate with each other......"

Zong Yan: "Even if that's the case, how many young people will have to be able to complete it?"

Boyu: "I want to use it for three years." ”

Zong Yan exclaimed: "Impossible, I think thirty years is enough!"

Bo Yu smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry, listen to me slowly." There are many things in the world that you will never know if you don't practice them. He counted a section of the river with an iron branch in the sand, "This section of the river is the task I intend to assign to the poor department, the total length is 120 li, of which 30 li is borrowed from a certain tributary waterway, and 15 li is in the natural valley, and it is actually necessary to excavate 85 li.

Zong Yan blinked his eyes and thought for a long time before saying: "If this is the case, there are nearly 10,000 people in the poor department, leaving the old and weak at home, and then leaving the necessary manpower to ensure that the fields are not barren, there is food and clothing available, and the construction can be completed in almost three years, but it is ......"

Bo Yu saw that Zong Yan wanted to stop talking, and asked again: "Are there any other difficulties?"

Zong Yan rolled his eyes: "What's the difficulty? There are too many difficulties! First of all, the section of the river you drew said that the poor tribe was responsible for the excavation, and there were indeed people from the poor tribe living nearby, but now there are various branches of the poor tribe scattered all over the place, and there are still people far away. For example, my Huayin clan, if you want to carry the guy over, you have to walk for more than a month on the road!"

Bo Yu said lightly: "Compared with twenty years of suffering, it is not difficult to walk for a month. I have been on the road of water control for almost 10 years. ”

This understatement is a bit tragic, but also very infectious. Zong Yan was stunned again, and after a while, he pointed to the sand table and said, "Even if there are poor people who dig through this section of the river, they can't attract the water of the big river?"

Bo Yu still patiently introduced: "Of course, it is not enough to have only this section, and after all the new rivers in the downstream are opened, Helan Mountain can be split before the big river can be diverted, and then the river will be flooded." ”

"Split Helan Mountain!" Zong Yan was really shocked.

Bo Yu: "I have split Wuyun Mountain when the river is controlling the water, and now the water of the river is not impossible to split Helan Mountain." But that was the last thing, and the ministries had to finish the first three years of work. ”

What is the biggest difficulty in controlling water in this way, in fact, there is no need to say more about Zong Yan, Bo Yu also knows it in his heart. He said that it would take three years to open up a new river, but all the ministries were unsure whether they could complete the work in these three years, or how long it would take? After 20 years of the disaster, the ministries had just begun to regain their vitality, and everyone was actually at ease.

Such a large-scale water control project would require young people to leave their settled villages and re-engage in years-long heavy labor, which would inevitably be regarded as a waste of labor and money.

Although the process of harnessing Dajiang and Huaize is difficult and time-consuming, the benefits can be seen immediately, and the gains can be seen as much as you do. However, until such a huge project is finally completed, no one will see the ultimate benefits.

According to Bo Yu, the harvest will be in three years, but what if it can't be completed? Then there will be no gain! If you encounter unexpected difficulties, you will continue to invest manpower and material resources but you don't know when you will see the benefits.

Zong Yan said with a stick: "Although this plan is good, the most unpredictable thing is the people's heart!"

Bo Yu leaned over to her and said: "The people's hearts can be followed, but they cannot be indulged; That's why I want to discuss and ask you today, since Miss Zongyan is the patriarch of the Huayin clan of the poor tribe, is she willing to lead the young and strong of the Huayin clan to control the water like this?"

“...... , the old lady did it!" Zong Yan suddenly burst into a foul mouth, and then abandoned the staff and bowed down, "Lord Boyu, you can control the water according to this plan! Now people are at ease, but the old people in the clan are still there, and they still remember the scene of their homes in the past, and Lord Boyu can make the livelihood of all departments more prosperous." If in another ten years, all the clansmen were born in the newly relocated villages, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to pay attention to the adults' desire to control the water, and if you want to do it, you should do it now!"

Bo Yu bowed his head a little puzzled and said, "Patriarch Zongyan, are you also an old man?"

Zong Yan replied: "I am not an old man in the clan, but I was not born here, and I still have childhood memories. I remember the villages and pastorals before the flood, and I remember the hardships of displacement. ”

Bo Yu stretched out his hand to help her up and said, "Of course, you have to do it as soon as possible, isn't it just to discuss with the patriarch of Zongyan today!"

Zong Yan actually glared at him again and said, "My lord, why didn't you come to Hepan earlier, but ran to Dajiang first?"

Now it is the ninth year of Bo Yu's water control, and he has just come to the land of the river flood, why did he go earlier? Zong Yan's words had a vague sense of reproach, Bo Yu had to explain with a wry smile: "The matter of water control is easy first and then difficult, not only to wait for all the departments of the river to recover their vitality, but also to wait for all the departments of the world to recover their strength." If the Jianghuai flood is not settled, first come to control the flood of the river, how many layers of confidence do you think the Zongyan patriarch has?"

Zong Yan's eyes rolled and he figured it out, nodded and admitted: "It's more difficult than now, it's almost uncertain!"

Nine years ago, when the various tribes of the river basin were at their poorest and weakest, and it was very difficult to even maintain their survival, how could they send out the young Zhuang people to control the water? Moreover, Bo Yu was unknown at that time, and no one believed that he could successfully control the water, and rashly put forward such a grand plan, which did not have any appeal or persuasive power at all, and was afraid that it would be dismissed as empty talk and delusion by the ministers of the court and the heads of the various ministries.

But now it is different, the Jianghuai flood has been calmed, the Chinese ministries no longer have to worry about the future, Bo Yu has been famous all over the world, no one does not believe that he can successfully control the water, but what kind of success will be achieved. The Jianghuai departments have somewhat regained their strength and can support the various departments of the river basin, and the various departments of the river basin have also regained their vitality to some extent. Boyu can be said to have come just in time, and it is useless to be too early.

Regardless of the fact that the various departments of the river basin have gone through 20 years of difficult years and a long wait, they were able to successfully migrate to a higher place and gradually gain a firm foothold, which is actually the credit of Chongbokun. It's a pity that Chongbo Kun failed to control the water and was shattered, and now as the successor of Chongbo Kun, Yu, the Hepan departments are still grateful for the kindness of their ancestors and are willing to obey his command.

At this time, it is impossible for anyone to have this kind of appeal!

Zong Yan thought of a more important question again, and couldn't help but ask: "I don't need your persuasion, the Huayin clan will obey their fate, but how can you convince the other clan leaders?"

Bo Yu smiled: "Since the patriarch of Zongyan is willing to support, it means that the other tribesmen are not unconvincing." ...... In fact, I plan to ask the Son of Heaven to give a direct order, and then recommend talents to help Yu do it. ”

Zong Yan waved the big stick excitedly, and the sound of the wind frightened Bo Yu to the side, only to hear the girl say: "I understand what the adults mean, so I will go back and announce the plan to the clansmen and let them prepare." Whoever doesn't support the adults should be careful with my stick!"

Bo Yu smiled: "Then I'll give the girl a ride." As he spoke, he beckoned, and two jujube red horses trotted and pulled the white fragrant wood cart to the front.

Zong Yan's expression was a little twisted, and he bowed his head slightly and said, "Do you want to invite the little girl to the same car?"

Bo Yu cried and laughed: "Exactly, girl, please get in the car!" In fact, Bo Yu himself has no habit of taking the car, he has always walked on a cane, and at this moment, in order to show courtesy, he let the carriage send Zong Yan back.

When he got into the car, Bo Yu saw that the big stick that Zong Yan was carrying was quite heavy, so he reached out to help her. This was a very natural action, but it made Zong Yan take aback, and secretly said in his heart how could Lord Bo Yu do something to her? His hands touched his waist! From the moment he saw her, Bo Yu looked at her differently, could it be that he had taken a fancy to her?

Zong Yan is already in her twenties, of course she is an old girl in that era, but no man dares to approach, let alone take the opportunity to reach out and touch this kind of thing, so Bo Yu will inevitably be misunderstood. Lord Boyu's vision surpassed ordinary people, and he specially invited her to go with the car, and when he got in the car, he also took the opportunity to reach out and take advantage of it, which also made Zong Yan feel a little nervous sitting in the car.

Seeing that Zong Yan was actually a little restless, Bo Yu asked curiously, "Patriarch Zong Yan, are you uncomfortable?"

Zong Yan hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, in fact, I am thinking about one thing, please Lord Boyu must agree!"

Boyu: "Girl, please speak." ”

Obviously, he had something to say, but when he opened his mouth, it became another thing, Zong Yan said: "You said that you are going to split Helan Mountain, can you let me do it?"

Bo Yu was taken aback, and it was not good to refuse directly, so he had to say: "This matter will be discussed in the long run, and we will talk about it when the time comes." ”

Zong Yan didn't know why she suddenly came up with this idea, she originally wanted to say something else, but when she heard Bo Yu's answer at this moment, she was a little unconvinced: "Are you underestimating me? I'm Bo Yi's sister!"

Bo Yu was taken aback again, he had never heard of any brothers and sisters who made a name for themselves in Bo Yi, and besides, the age difference between Bo Yi and Zong Yan was too big, right?

Zong Yan also whispered: "Clan sister." ”

It turned out to be a clan sister, which can be explained, just peers between the same clan. A big clan often has many branches, and some branches have already come out of Wufu, and they are not serious relatives, and Zong Yan should be such a clan sister of Boyi.

mentioned Lord Boyi, Bo Yu also secretly said in his heart - this patriarch is really a good man, when Bo Yi collapsed Dalong Mountain, today she even wants to split Helan Mountain with her own hands! Whether there is this ability or not, not to mention, at least there is this heroic spirit. (To be continued.) )
