Chapter Forty-Nine: Seven Days!
Therefore, it did not cause much damage and was not recorded in the history books......
Of course, this can't even be a little wild history and legend, or even folk legend!
Liu Shengzhi prefers that this kind of thing did not happen in another time and space trajectory.
At this moment, looking at the heavy rain, there are still hundreds of thousands of people working hard. They only knew that it was to prevent and control the Yellow River God, but they didn't know what they were doing!
That is, when Liu Shengzhi looked around, in the heavy rain, hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers who were mobilized were braving the heavy rain to strengthen the river embankment......
Zheng Ren is one of the hundreds of thousands of people who are blocking the river, but he is not an ordinary soldier, but a small official.
Originally, it belonged to Houyan, but now the Han Dynasty dominates the world. He was loyal to the new dynasty, and now he is just a small servant.
For example, today's edict is issued, following the old example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, all the ministers from the general down, all the soil and stones, personally go up to fill the embankment. Naturally, he can't escape from such a small official......
It's just that those high-ranking officials can just be a look. Boost morale......
And he is not so preferential to a petty official like him, but he has to go up honestly to carry the soil.
The Han law was strict, and the new emperor fully restored the law of the Han family. If a petty official like him dares to neglect his duties, it will be the end of losing his head.
Not to mention, Zheng Ren originally didn't have the idea of cheating, his hometown was in Taishan County downstream, once the Yellow River bursts, the land of Sangzi will suffer.
In fact, the area of Puyang is now barren and sparsely populated. The people recruited now are all recruited from the original land of Houyan......
Although the population of Houyan is not large, it is much better than Puyang, where almost all of them have been degraded into pastures, and these populations can be recruited.
Almost all of their hometowns are downstream, and where the embankment threatens, they can't help but not fight hard!
As soon as a bag of loess was piled on the river embankment, a wave was several meters high, almost knocking him out of the water.
Nowadays, the Yellow River is full of whirlpools, and once it is swept into the water, it can not even survive no matter how good the water is.
In fact, Zheng Ren has seen unlucky ghosts more than once, and they are buried in the Yellow River!
"Taiping Zhenjun bless......" Zheng Ren couldn't help but feel weak for a while, muttering to himself......
In fact, he knew that the Yellow River was no longer here. Although I don't know what kind of big work the imperial court is doing here, I can only work hard for the sake of my hometown and relatives.
But at this time, a few rays of light flashed. There seemed to be a shadow flowing between the clouds, heading straight for the Xuanfang Palace on the embankment.
On the Xuanfang Palace, a heavenly pillar cloud suddenly opened, and several figures fell.
"Your Majesty!"
As these people bowed down, the shadows of all the gods appeared, including the dragons of the four seas, as well as several water gods in the north.
Unlike the dense gods of Jiangzuo, after the catastrophe in the north, many famous mountains and rivers are ownerless.
But at this moment, all the water gods who could arrive also rushed over.
"Excuse me, what's going on!"
"Your Majesty, this is the clouds from the north, and the torrent is so powerful. No matter how the ministers unblock it, there is no way to ......"
Liu Shengzhi nodded, didn't say much, and the situation in his eyes was almost average.
Almost half of Middle-earth was shrouded in thick clouds that stretched out to sea. And there is also a constant flow of air from Siberia, which can be said to be even worse.
Even if many gods made a move and wanted to push away the countless rain clouds, there was nothing they could do.
"If I want to stop the heavy rain for a few days, do you have a way?" Liu Shengzhi asked in a cold voice.
The emperors of the past dynasties were able to govern tens of millions of subjects, but there was really no one who wanted to govern the heavens and the earth......
And Liu Shengzhi has to give orders even to the wind and rain!
Who made him not only the master of man, but also the emperor of heaven!
"If the heavy rain is stopped for a few days, there is no way for me to wait...... But after that, I'm afraid the heavy rain will fall even more......" Tokai Longbo couldn't help but say.
"Oh?" Liu Shengzhi was not surprised when he heard this, but just asked, "How long can you hold on?"
"Seven days, seven days at most. We can use all our mana to temporarily stop raining in this area for seven days...... But after seven days, the rain will be heavier, I'm afraid it's ......" Donghai Longbo's words were not finished, Liu Shengzhi had already said categorically: "Seven days is enough, you go and prepare!"
"Yes!" Although I didn't understand why Liu Shengzhi would give such an order, these water gods still obeyed the order one by one.
The pillars in the clouds made way for a path, and the gods turned into light.
After the rapid siltation of the Yellow River in its channel, it began to form an above-ground river......
In modern times, Kaifeng City is already 20 meters lower than the bottom of the Yellow River, and 20 meters below the current Kaifeng City is the ruins of Daliang City......
The entire Yellow River has become a land-based hanging river......
Under such circumstances, when it rains heavily, it is naturally easy for it to flood! Once it bursts, the Yellow River will pour down......
Since then, the population has grown more and more conservative. The Yellow River embankment is being built higher and higher, and the quicksand loess that is silted up and precipitated underground is getting more and more.
It can be said that the closer it is to modern times, the more serious the flooding of the Yellow River becomes...... It was completely forced by manpower......
Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the average has been about once every seven months, and after the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River has broken as many as 361 times, with an average of about once every six months.
It can be said that if it were not for the modern era, the technical means have become more and more advanced...... I am afraid that any traditional means of river control will no longer be of any use......
If the matter of hanging the river on land is not solved, no matter how much the river is controlled, it is completely a symptomatic rather than a cure.
And now, Liu Shengzhi's plan is naturally to prepare to open a new river channel and completely solve this thousand-year-old problem!
And it's the best chance yet. Not only the entire Puyang area, but even the entire Yellow River has been desolate......
In later times, it was not uncommon for no one to see the problem of the Yellow River hanging over the river...... However, the two sides of the strait are densely packed with people from cities and villages, and there is no way to divert them from flooding......
And in this era, the people along the Yellow River are all white. It's just the right time to open up a new river, but it's also the best way to do it once and for all.
In fact, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Jing successfully controlled the water and the diversion of the Yellow River, there has been no major flood for more than 800 years. (To be continued.) )
