After becoming the king of the subjugated country

The news stopped for two days, and the pan was already frying in the court.

Their knowledge of floods is limited to the peace and tranquility of the previous emperors. If it is not a small flood, it will ravage one area at most. Now a dozen areas are in emergency. This is a rare occurrence in 500 years. Even in I found similar things in the history books, and most of the descriptions above were "hungry and dead, ten rooms and nine empty".

The emperor and his courtiers have limited means of dealing with it. At the beginning, they will try to rescue them, and they will lie down if they cannot be rescued. Basically, they are arguing over who is to blame in the end. The emperor thinks that the courtiers are incompetent. Disaster... The last time something like this happened, it was the prime minister who suffered the worst and took the blame for the emperor and courtiers.

At the beginning, everyone was somewhat optimistic about this matter. After all, there were not too few people who went there. Many people from the Ministry of Industry have passed. Search, this is much better than the previous environment.

However, natural disasters do not always come as people wish. There are more and more urgent notices, and more and more people are being forced to relocate. The fields in several areas are flooded and spring plowing has to be stopped. Seeing that the natural disasters are getting more and more serious , most people are becoming less and less optimistic about Bai Qi and his group.

At the beginning, they only hinted implicitly whether they should try to change people. Maybe these people are now dead or alive;In the end, the memorial to counsel them had been presented to Ji Chen's table.

Mr. Qian only felt that he was suffering from bad luck. Ning Yuan was also very unhappy when he saw the booklet, so he held his breath and avoided it. After all, the person mentioned in it also had his daughter, and the rest of the people were busy with their own affairs, and only he was idle. , Now he is forced to stand up to the thunder.

Sizzle!

Mr. Qian just lost his attention when he heard a crisp tearing sound. He raised his head slightly, and saw the emperor in front of him slowly tore up the memorial in front of him, threw it away, and judged with a sneer: "That shit doesn't make sense!"

Mr. Qian was stunned, but smiled, "What Your Majesty said is true. These people are just talking nonsense. According to what I see, it is better to ask them to control the water, and they will naturally have nothing to say."

"They don't have the ability," Ji Chen said coldly, "Maybe they will cause even bigger troubles, forget it, when the time comes, send them to Xia Guo as an envoy, and let them visit Mrs. Jingchen for me. Xia Guo will stay in peace for a few years."

Lord Qian shed tears of sympathy for them. Fen, who is already a fine man, naturally would not easily criticize His Majesty's important ministers. On the contrary, he praised Bai Qi at this time, saying that the current situation is just a temporary difficulty, Instead, he was praised by His Majesty.

Before leaving, Lord Qian asked Eunuch Xin specifically, "Where is Shangnan?"

Eunuch Xin was a little embarrassed, "Lord Shang has been serving His Majesty these days, but there was a wind blowing last night, so I can't get up today, and I'm still resting now."

Mr. Qian's eyes lit up suddenly, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind. He looked at Eunuch Xin with extremely gentle eyes, and asked him to give Shang Nan a message, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to say anything against you." , you just need to tell Shang Nan to serve His Majesty well, don't think too much about everything, seize the opportunity, don't say what's wrong with Bai Qi, no matter how bad Bai Qi is, she's going to control the water for His Majesty. Being a man, the most important thing It just has to be bigger.”

Mr. Qian can't say too much, but at any rate, he has given money to Gonggong Xin many times, and now he doesn't think there is anything wrong with passing such a sentence. Besides, Mr. Qian thinks that what he said is reasonable .

This is the coup he begged his wife to give him with a faceless face. If he wants to be the main wife, he has to be bold!

Make an effort to let Bai Qi be Shang Nan's foil, and when the real master appears, naturally there will be nothing to foil him.

Ji Chen was still critiquing the papers, and saw an unreliable suggestion written on a certain paper, suggesting that he blow up a certain section of the embankment and divert the flood to the country of Xia. To avoid it, simply drag Xia Guo to die together, and the two countries will perish together.

Qin Sheng also specially wrote eight words on the back: [For you to laugh, don't take it seriously].

Ji Chen: "..."

He has read a lot of whimsical notebooks these days, and he has seen a lot. He didn't expect this notebook to come from behind, and Ji Chen suddenly saw what is called 'imagination'.

Ji Chen glanced over, couldn't hold back, turned back again, deliberately checked the person's name, and decided to send this person to Xia Guo another day.

No matter how troublesome he is, no matter how serious he is to Xia Guo, he will not play around with the lives of Xia Guo's people.

Throwing this memorial aside, Ji Chen asked someone to fetch a carrier pigeon, and continued writing to Bai Qi himself.

These days, although the contact was broken, Ji Chen never gave up, and the frequency of communication became higher and higher, from one letter per day in the past to one letter every three hours, and the pigeons flew to Bai Qi one by one. There.

Ji Chen thought, if Bai Qi was really trapped, he had to let him know that he didn't give up on him.

Not only sending letters, but Ji Chen also carried out a lot of operations, including but not limited to sending Ji Shao to lead troops to check the surrounding areas, and notifying the surrounding counties to do their best to save lives, and the priority is always to save lives, and the supply of supplies has never stopped , things are supplied to He'an by truck by truck.

Putting the pen aside, Ji Chen put the letter in the small bamboo tube, tied the small bamboo tube to the pigeon's leg, carried the pigeon to the window, and prepared to release the pigeon.

The carrier pigeon quietly let Ji Chen move, and Ji Chen couldn't help wondering why his pigeon was so lively, but this pigeon was so quiet and well-behaved, um, let Xiao Bai come and learn it when he has time.

Probably thinking about it day by day, it just so happened that a pigeon slid across the sky, swooped towards the window, and stopped the charge suddenly. The pigeon's eyes widened, looking at Ji Chen for a while, and then turned to look at Ji Chen again for a while. The pigeon in Chen's arms couldn't help but frowned, "Googoo?!"

Ji Chen let go of the hand that was still smoothing the pigeons, realizing something was wrong, "...you listen to my explanation."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the carrier pigeon quickly slipped away, and the pigeon that finally flew back allowed Ji Chen to take the letter from the bamboo tube, then avoided Ji Chen's hand, rested on the table, and complained endlessly.

Ji Chen explained it in a few words, and the pigeon sat on the table angrily, turned to look at Ji Chen from time to time, saw that Ji Chen stopped coaxing it after a while, seemed to have finished reading the letter, and now he was reading the storybook and grinding himself again. He moved over slowly, but was caught by Ji Chen with one hand.

The pigeon flapped its wings and became even angrier, "Goo!" Sure enough, he lied to it again!

Ji Chen hugged the pigeon, smoothed its fur, brought warm water and food, and said softly, "It's been a hard journey."

The pigeon's struggling movements gradually disappeared, and it couldn't hold back, it rubbed against Ji Chen's palm.

Ji Chen combed the pigeon's wings for a while, and his mind gradually turned to the letterhead written by Bai Qi. If everything went well, then yesterday, the first flood discharge should have started.

At Yin Shi yesterday, Bi Xuan inspected the place where the explosives were buried once again, to check for the last time if there was anything missing.

She stood on the embankment, facing the surging flood in the south, surging against the embankment wave after wave, and facing the low village in the north, all the people in the village were evacuated.

Soon, this place will be flooded.

In front of her is the vast world, and behind her is the support given to her by the emperor under the pressure of the civil and military forces of the court, the trusting and worried eyes of countless people, and the hope of all the people.

Bi Xuan took a deep breath. As the first person to blast the site, she was under the greatest pressure.Now that the flood discharge area has been circled, it is necessary to open an opening in the embankment, so that the original flood can flow to the flood discharge area along this opening, reducing the pressure on other places.Of course, the explosion is extremely important. After all, it is a rainy day, and the difficulty of the explosion rises sharply. Moreover, the dam here has not been repaired for many years. It is hard to say how good the quality is. If the opening is small, the flood discharge effect is not enough. Put more pressure on the other two flood zones.

"The detection is complete, and the explosives are correct."

"The leads are all in place."

"Indicating that the fireworks are ready."

These fireworks are a by-product of the processing of gunpowder, and at this time, are especially suitable for short-distance message transmission.

Except for the person who lit the fire, all the hands were evacuated towards the north hillside. The ten people who were responsible for lighting the fire prepared their own torches, flints, and fireworks, and stood silently at the place where the fire was lit.

Bi Xuan stood upright, her legs trembling uncontrollably, and the patter of rain dripped down from her coir raincoat. She stood silently, listening to various reports, until the soldiers reminded her that the time was up, and Bi Xuan took the first step.

"Light it up!" Bi Xuan said loudly.

The five hundred catties of explosives that had been buried finally worked. This was a quarter of the results that Bi Xuan and Ji Pei had worked hard to accumulate in the workshop for half a year. When the fuse was ignited, there was a loud bang. , There was an obvious opening in the embankment, and the flood water swirled out along the opening, heading towards the village below.

After the first place was ignited, the fireworks sparkled, and then the second place was ignited, and the fireworks flashed in the air again, followed by the third place, and the fourth place...

The flood swept across the sky and covered the sky, except for a few high mountains and hills, the farmland below had been swallowed up.

The people below worked hard to record, and Bi Xuan also exhausted all her life's knowledge, and calculated quickly. Based on the fireworks lit after that, the subordinates couldn't help but look a little ugly, and came to report, "The flood in He'an has only dropped by one meter. To the south, the floodwater only dropped two feet."

The flood on the north side of the dam on their side has dropped by a full two meters. Even if it takes another hour, the flood on this side will drop by another two meters, which may not be completely useful to He'an. is increasing.

Bi Xuan had already been mentally prepared. It would not be smooth sailing at the beginning. Fortunately, she still had a chance later. She hurriedly closed the paper and recorded the data. Little dynamite, let's go, let's go to the next flood discharge area."

She is not alone, there are people who will help her reduce stress.

Ji Pei came to the Northwest District to supervise the construction of the canal. The flood was too urgent. The construction of the canal branch here has only been carried out in the middle, and the river water has not yet been irrigated, but it is enough.

"Blast open the hole first, let part of the flood flow in," Ji Pei said coldly, "The canal will be repaired slowly later, and the dug channel will be used first to solve the urgent need."

In He'an County, the villagers who had been standing there for many days squatted down in a daze, touched the embankment, and got up immediately when they saw that they had not touched the flood. Wrong! The water receded, the water receded! Our land was saved!"

There were waves of weak voices around, and some people lay down on the spot and fell asleep the next moment. They guarded here for a long time, and many of them hadn't closed their eyes for days and nights.

The first embankment had been washed away, and they had to retreat to the third embankment to hold on. Most of the villagers' houses were submerged, but for them, as long as the land and people were there, they could survive.

Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The torrential rain has now turned into light rain. Now it seems that Bi Xuan and the others moved quickly enough, and the flood began to recede. He discussed with Ning Wenzheng: "Go, let them distribute the water." Some things, let them rest in batches, and people still have to be guarded on the embankment to prevent accidents."

Ning Wenzheng also agreed, "I'll guard it first, and see if the dam can be repaired again while the flood recedes, and see where we can make up for the gap."

In the distance, a carrier pigeon finally passed through layers of obstacles and flew in front of Bai Qi.

It brings thoughts from afar.
