The official road of the farmer

After solving the stomach problem, Xi Maochang focused on water management.If the dams and embankments are not resolved, the flood will not completely recede.

Fortunately, it is no longer raining, otherwise the situation will be more serious.

Now that there is no water on the higher ground, the people see the devastation and the ruins of the familiar village roads. They are really sad, but they are full of hope when they think of the court parents and officials who have spared no effort to help them tide over the difficulties and rebuild their homes.

Xi Maochang quickly made arrangements for the victims, and the young and weak people spread out from Huaichuan County, and began to clean up the remnants left by the flood.

The young and strong ones followed the soldiers to repair the embankment.

It is also the same as clearing the snow in Jinjiang. The participants are paid every day. Anyway, the post-disaster reconstruction also requires relief money. It is better to distribute it as wages, which can also mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.

The eldest prince Xiahou Xuandai was very active in the repair project, and even asked his personal guards to follow Nie Langzhong's command to cure the flood as soon as possible.

In addition to some patrols and supervision of the Mighty Army, the rest are also invested in the project.

In ancient times with limited conditions, repairing dams could only be done in simple and crude ways.

The Wye River is a little lower than before, but still above normal.

On the one hand, Nie Langzhong asked people to dig a canal upstream to intercept the river, and on the other hand, he wanted to repair the hole that was broken by the flood.

The danger of interception is not that high, and ordinary people are basically arranged to go there.

But repairing the dam is an extremely dangerous thing, and it is all done by the mighty army.

The gap in the embankment only needs to be filled. Nie Langzhong first asked people to use mellow soil, stones, wood and other construction materials, and used glutinous rice mortar to coagulate them. Soil blocks, just wait for them to dry out and use them anytime.

And why is it dangerous?

The quickest way to repair the dam is to build a human force wall at the gap, and now the gap is blocked to complete the dam.

The clods of dirt they hang out to dry are the material.

It's been a beautiful day, and things are going well with the hot, steamy weather these days.

The mighty army is all strong and strong, but there must be at least two hundred people to block the gap.

The number of people was barely enough, so the eldest prince contributed all his guards to help.

No one was left by the eldest prince's side, and Ye Junshu had already asked Li Jia, Li Yi and the mighty army to listen to Bu Dayong's slogan and act together.

Their mission here was to protect Ye Junshu every step of the way, but Ye Junshu was also their master, and they had to listen to his words.

It can only be said that they pay attention to Ye Junshu all the time, and Ye Junshu also guaranteed to act within their sight range as much as possible.

In fact, there is no difference. The two of them went to the human wall, and even if they saw Ye Junshu in danger, they couldn't get there in time.

Ye Junshu felt that even if the eldest prince wanted to do something bad, he would not do it under the watchful eyes of the public. He still had to maintain his good image, so naturally he would not do bad things for others to see.

Ye Junshu had his own considerations. As the prince, Xiahou Xuandai asked the guards to help him, and it was not easy for him to keep people by his side, otherwise his airs would be bigger than that of the eldest prince. Wouldn't it be someone's handle?

And now there are eyes everywhere, Ye Junshu doesn't think the eldest prince will do anything at this time, so Ye Junshu is still safe.

He wanted to join hands together, but was rejected.

Ye Junshu could only watch from the sidelines.

Ye Junshu looked at all the soldiers with their upper body naked, pulling a rope as thick as a baby's arm to weave a strong net, and put the huge net in the gap, pulling both sides firmly to ensure that it would not be easily washed away Finally, the soldiers pulled the nets and entered the water one after another, with their backs facing the direction of the water flow, and filled them up densely from top to bottom.

Ye Junshu's eyes were full of shock. Although many technologies in ancient times were relatively backward, their wisdom was often breathtaking.

Ye Junshu watched the formation of a human wall, blocking the gap tightly,

Then the two of them lifted the condensed stone and soil blocks and started to build the wall from bottom to top.

This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project. They need to tamp the foundation first. Ye Junshu watched the people coming and going on the dam, working in full swing.

The stones are poured from bottom to top while pouring...

Ye Junshu watched without blinking, not aware of the passage of time at all.

Commander Kang said at this time: "This is just a small scene. When the Huaichuan Dam was first built, that scene was really shocking!"

That is the unity of tens of thousands of people, military and civilian cooperation, and in the same way, the dam was finally built.

Of course, the water at that time was not as deep as it is now.

He has been in Huaichuan for so many years, so he naturally knows this great deed engraved in Huaichuan Yamen.

But that's a thing of the past.

These latecomers missed the biggest event.

But just imagining it is amazing.

Ye Junshu and a group of officials stood watching from a distance.

Everyone has their own work to do, and Xi Maochang, Bu Dayong, and officials from the Ministry of Industry are all on site directing and supervising.

The eldest prince, Ye Junshu and some officials were also in the way in the past, but they felt uncomfortable standing there.

So someone suggested: "Let's go patrolling around?"

Everyone has no opinion.

With so many people gathered here, there must not be enough patrolling manpower in other places. A group of civil servants who are powerless can only walk around.

So prepare two or two teams.

Ye Junshu has always wanted to go there to help, but he is strong and strong, while the other civil servants are weak!

Ye Junshu took the initiative to do coolies, should the others go?If you don't go, it will make you look like you are far behind Ye Junshu, and if you go, it will be difficult for yourself. Isn't this creating hatred?

After Ye Junshu's self-recommendation was rejected, he thought of this in a second thought. Although he really wanted to help, he still needed to be cautious.

So he decided to follow the masses and be a weak and beautiful man together.

The remaining eight of them were on the sidelines, two by two, and dispersed their actions, but the distribution was a problem.

The eldest prince smiled at Ye Junshu: "How about we go together?"

Other officials who wanted to curry favor with the First Prince were about to recommend themselves when they heard Xiahou Xuandai's words. They looked at their thin bodies, and then looked up at Ye Junshuqi's tall figure. Well, the First Prince and Lord Ye are more Feel safe...

Ye Junshu naturally didn't refuse, and he had no reason to refuse, so he accepted with a smile.

Then the first prince walked forward casually, Ye Junshu followed behind two steps behind, the other officials waited for the two to leave, looked at each other for a while, and then left with the relatively familiar officials.

Ye Junshu thought, people are everywhere here, he still has a self-knowledge of his own skills, which should be enough to protect himself, not to mention that the eldest prince's skills are probably not as good as him, and there is only one eldest prince.

Ye Junshu noticed that the first prince's guards stayed there to help.

Thinking about it, Ye Junshu just raised his vigilance silently, and paid more attention to his surroundings.

Xiahou Xuandai seemed to be walking aimlessly, and Ye Junshu followed him.

Xiahou Xuandai looked at the people in front of him, even though they were sweating, they were still working hard, not afraid of hardship at all, and no one was lazy.

Xiahou Xuandai wrote to Ye Jun: "Your Majesty Xi is worthy of being a minister that my father relies heavily on. In just a short period of time, the Huaichuan issue has been resolved. There are no tragedies of floating corpses everywhere, mourning everywhere, and changing sons to eat."

Ye Junshu said with a smile: "Master Xi is quick-witted and unparalleled in the world. He is a role model for my generation." Naturally, Ye Junshu has a lot of good things to say.

Xiahou Xuandai smiled and praised sincerely: "Master Ye will also do his part."

"The eldest prince is full of praise."

Xiahou Xuandai and Ye Junshu kept walking down the river.

They were walking on a high ground, and there was still a torrential flood below, and the people in simple short jackets passed around.

They either carried big stones together, or carried two baskets of gravel on their poles.

Everyone worked very diligently, absorbed in their own affairs, and had no time to take care of the First Prince and Ye Junshu.

Xiahou Xuandai suddenly said: "Lord Ye, do you think if someone stands there, will they fall?"

Ye Junshu looked in the direction Xiahou Xuandai pointed, and saw a simple and simple man with a black face walking in front carrying two baskets of heavy gravel.

His figure is not tall, probably due to his hunger during this period, he looks thin and thin, a slightly yellowed sweat towel is placed on his dark neck, and large beads of sweat fall from the top of his head.

It seemed that the sweat falling into his eyes was uncomfortable, he slowly squatted down, and after the two baskets touched the ground, he hung a pole on one elbow, and roughly wiped his face with the other hand.

Ye Junshu didn't see why, and didn't understand what the first prince's sudden words meant.

The big man wiped his sweat in twos and twos, bent over and raised his head, and was about to stand up and continue to carry the pole, when his eyes accidentally fell into the rushing water not far away.

"what is that?"

The big man suddenly screamed, put down his pole in a hurry and walked a few steps to the bank of the flood.

Although the other party's voice was loud, it was not obvious in the noisy environment. Only some nearby people subconsciously looked at it, but they didn't react immediately.

They didn't understand what happened yet, they just stayed where they were, but their eyes were looking in the direction of the sound.

"Is that a person?"

If Ye Junshu hadn't been paying attention all the time, he wouldn't have heard the vibrato of the big man clearly. After all, due to the terrain here, the east-west direction is from top to bottom, and the flood is rushing fast.

The eldest prince walked over quickly.

Ye Junshu hesitated for a while, and walked over, but he was very cautious, and the distance from the shore was a little farther.

He also looked at the surface of the water, and saw that in the center of the flood, an object seemed to hit an obstacle and hang above it, just floating a little above the water surface, sinking and sinking.

Ye Junshu's face was serious. He had excellent eyesight, and he could tell that it was a corpse that had been soaked for a long time. He thought it was the people who were washed away when the flood broke out, and now they floated up.

When cleaning these days, it is rare to see people washed away by the flood. It is true that no one is alive or dead. They have always either not floated up or rushed downstream.

Even though it was not the first time they met, Ye Junshu still felt very uncomfortable.

The big man had been looking into the water, and suddenly he was startled, "It seems to be a real person!" Then he hurriedly took a step forward, as if he wanted to see more clearly.

But what I didn't expect was that just as the big man stepped on the edge, the soil under his feet became soft, and the broken soil rolled directly down.

The big man didn't step firmly on his foot, and his whole body swayed suddenly.

He screamed in fright, waved his hands wildly, and finally lost his balance, and he was about to fall into the flood.

Such a turbulent flood will be washed away as soon as it falls, and it will be difficult for people who can swim to go ashore.

Ye Junshu didn't even think about it, subconsciously rushed to grab the man's hand and tried to pull him back.

However, just as he exerted his strength, the seemingly thin hand he was holding firmly locked his wrist in an instant, pulling him down.

Ye Junshu's heart skipped a beat.

Oops!

be cheated!
