Chapter 17
Li An glanced at everyone indifferently, and said loudly: "The destructive power of nature is indeed frightening, and people can't resist the idea of resistance."
"But!" Li An pointed to his head, "Wisdom can help us overcome all difficulties!"
All the people stared blankly at Li An, unable to understand the meaning of Li An's words.
Suddenly, a person shouted loudly.
"I believe in the lord, because the lord is a god, sent by God to save us!"
"That's right, the prince is a god, and what the prince said will definitely not be wrong."
Immediately someone joined in.
In just a split second, all voices of opposition turned into support.
Li Ang looked at the person who took the lead first, and smiled meaningfully at him.
The man also smiled back at Li An, yes, he is Li An's guard.
Although Li An can forcibly blast the river water into the canal, it is also possible that people will block the work with their lives.
One or two are okay, he just sent someone to pull them away, what if the people all go crazy to stop them?
He can't blow it up with the people, can he?
These people were deeply hurt by the flood, and they already had an instinctive fear of water in their hearts. Li An couldn't gamble.
Besides, what he values most is the hearts of the people.
The hearts of the people cannot be lost.
After diverting the river into the canal, he will rely on these people to resume farming and develop the economy!
Li An raised his hand, and the people quieted down.
"Get up, you are the first people to witness the miracle."
After that, Li An turned back and checked the gate not far from the water inlet.
After confirming that the gate was strong enough, he went to another gate.
Li An built a total of five gates at the water inlet, just to be safe, to prevent the blasting force from being too powerful, and if the gap created by the blast is too large, it will be another flood!
After checking all the gates, Li An personally went to the river to place explosives.
After carefully calculating the power of the explosives and the amount of water coming out of the gap, Li An arranged the lead wires.
"All the people who dug the canal have gone ashore?" Li An looked at Tian Qi.
Tian Qi nodded. During the time they came here, the workers had already cleaned up the gravel in the canal and landed.
Li An nodded, took out the torch and lit it.
This time he was not in the mood to pretend, and stared at the flame of the fuse without blinking.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
The sound of the explosion echoed in the valley, and the river water was splashed more than ten meters high because of the aftermath of the explosion.
There is a narrow gap in the river, and the river flows into the valley along the gap.
The current is very small.
"My lord, isn't the firepower enough? Shall I add two more packs of explosives?" Wang Hu looked at Li An.
Li An shook his head: "Wait!"
"Wait?" Wang Hu was puzzled.
A few minutes later, I saw that the gap was getting bigger and bigger under the impact of the river water, and the water flow was getting stronger and stronger.
"Pa-ta~" A large piece of soil fell off the river wall, and the river broke its embankment!
The violent river flooded the sky and covered the sky, completely submerging the valley in an instant.
The turbulent river water engulfed the soil, and the gravel hit the first valve opening.
"Boom~" There was a huge impact sound, and the valve port was trembling.
In less than a minute, the valve port was washed down, and the rocks and valves at the valve port were carried by the river water and rushed to the next valve port.
"Boom~" There were constant impacts, and the sound of water splashing one after another.
A few minutes later, the second valve fell down.
After 10 minutes, the third valve also fell down.
Tian Qi's face was pale at the moment.
The valve port in the valley is the most secure valve port they have built. If the valve port in the valley falls down, the valve port installed in the canal will not be able to stop the raging river water.
Qingshui County and the major counties below it will be swallowed by the flood.
And this time the flood engulfs, and hundreds of thousands of people will die tragically!
Tian Qi felt a little desperate in his heart, he had already made a plan, if all the valves collapsed, he would throw himself into the rolling river and apologize to the people.
Not only Tian Qi, everyone's hearts were suspended.
One exception.
Li An looked at the gradually calming river, and heaved a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, a total of five valves were set up.
Half an hour later, the fourth valve still remained motionless, and the gravel gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.
"Send someone to build another two valves at the two valves, and then we can open the gate to release the water." Li An left this sentence, turned around and left with Liu Yiyi.
A large number of workers poured into the mountain pass, and the number of people was strong. A week later, two more valve ports stood in the valley.
Finally came the day to open the floodgates.
The first gate opened, and the river surged downwards, but was blocked by the second gate.
The second gate was opened, and the river was no longer so turbulent.
When the river gushed out from the fourth gate, it had become a calm river.
The river soon filled the valley, and with the opening of gates one after another, the river flooded into all parts of Qingshui County.
The canal was quickly filled with water, and it flowed quietly in the canal, so docile.
The people all gathered beside the various canals. This time, the water didn't seem so scary.
"Mother, I'm thirsty." A child begged and looked at his mother beside him.
The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, bent down and brought a handful of not-so-clear water to the child's mouth.
At this moment, basically all the people are doing the same action.
Tian County Magistrate also knelt on the ground crying with joy: "The drought in Qingshui County has finally been resolved, the people have been saved, and I will have the face to see my parents and fellow villagers in the future."
After all, Tian Qi took a handful of river water and drank it. Although there was still a lot of sand in the water, Tian Qi felt that it was sweeter than ever.
Seeing Li An standing in place, Tian Qi didn't forget Li An, the hero who gave the most, brought a handful of water to Li An.
"My lord, try it too, this water is sweet!"
"Are you bluffing the second idiot in the village next door? If you want to drink it yourself, I won't drink it, Lao Tian, let me tell you, you will have diarrhea tonight!" Li An looked disgusted.
The river water flowed into the fields, and the dry loess land became moist. Finally, this lifeless land had a little more vitality.
The water conservancy project was over, and the people all received their wages, and went to the county government to pick up their children and went home contentedly.
This time the water conservancy project was repaired, and no common people were killed.
Only a few were injured, and they hit their feet with a hammer. Li An also gave them work-related injury subsidies.
Those who should go home have gone home, and those who should not go home, such as Qian Lin, Li Fu, Li Qing, who bully men and women and harm the people, are still carrying stones at the entrance of the valley.
"Others have gone back, why can't we go back?" Li Qing gritted his teeth.
Hearing this, the supervisor directly kicked Li Qing to the ground, he has nothing to shy away from these criminals.
"Others are workers, you are sinners, can you compare with others?"
"My lord said, you are here to build the dam honestly, when the dam is repaired, when will you consider letting you go back!"
……
That night, Tian Qi went to the toilet five times in total, and he knew that Li An had hit the mark.
Although he had diarrhea all night, he stretched comfortably and happily.
When the drought is over, he would be happy even if it is a month, let alone a night.
The idea was great, but when he stood in front of Ang Li the next day weak and lost half his life, he smiled bitterly.
"My lord, I really should have listened to you yesterday. I won't be promoted today. If there is anything to do, please trouble my lord. I'm going to the clinic."
"Hurry up, hurry up, you might have to wait in line if you get there late, as the old saying goes, you will suffer if you don't listen to the old man's words." Li An waved his hands in disgust.
When Tian Qi rushed to the hospital, there was already a long queue.
Chapter 18 Zhu Wen Returns to Beijing
Seeing this, Tian Qi wanted to cry, but he didn't forcefully jump into the queue just because he was the county magistrate, but stayed at the back of the queue obediently.
Zhu Wen slept in the shed for a whole day after he got off work yesterday. After digging the canal for nearly two months, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.
So I missed the great scene of the river filling the canal.
As soon as he got up from the work shed today, he found that the workers and supervisors were gone, and he didn't take care of the canal. He quickly ran back to Qingshui County.
As soon as he arrived in Qingshui County, he saw a long queue at the gate of the medical center, and his face turned pale.
"Qingshui County really has a plague!" Zhu Wen exclaimed, and quickly took out a cloth to cover his mouth and nose.
Originally, he planned to return to Beijing after seeing Li An, but by coincidence, he ran into the two guards who had arrested him as a laborer and came towards him.
"Damn, I'm so pissed off. The old bustard in Hongxingfang is too disrespectful to me. The prince can keep the account. Why can't I keep the account when I am the prince's personal guard?"
"Calm down, you, do you think everyone is a prince? The prince said that prostitution for free is a skill."
"If the prince knows that you want to whore for nothing, see if the prince will beat you!"
Seeing the two getting closer, Zhu Wen was so frightened that he ran away without looking back, not going to see Li An.
He was afraid that these two psychopaths would be caught by him again, and thrown away to open mountains and old forests for quarrying or something.
Li An was not idle today, and took Liu Yiyi and the others to place wooden signs in conspicuous places in each canal.
"Farmland irrigation water, non-domestic water, do not drink!"
Anyway, he set up the signboard, so whether he can read or not is none of his business.
Don't say it's unexpected.
……
Beijing.
early morning.
After not receiving any news from Qingshui County for more than two months, the old emperor couldn't sit still.
Finally, in the early court, he asked the civil and military officials below: "Dear dear friends, have you heard anything about Qingshui County recently?"
The ministers were taken aback, why did His Majesty suddenly care about this matter?
"Your Majesty, I have heard some rumors about Qingshui County recently!"
"Oh? Come and listen." The old emperor's voice was a little excited.
"Recently, there is a poem from Qingshui County!"
"What poem?" The old emperor frowned, somewhat lacking in interest.
Who cares about poetry?What I care about is my precious son, a guy who has no eyesight.
