I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 223 He is the descendant of Guigu!
Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, it is not an easy task to manage rivers.

The terrain of the entire Huaxia nation is almost high in the west and low in the east, high in the south and low in the south.

The river rolls down from west to east, usually carrying numerous sediments.And these silts, usually, will form silt in places with flat terrain.

And almost all places related to floods are due to this kind of sedimentation.

Sedimentation gradually raises the river bed, causing the river to swell and overflow or break dikes.

Ever since, all dynasties from ancient times to the present have been constantly fighting against floods.Build dikes and dams, dig ditches and divert ditches.

Just like the Dongjing River in front of you, there is a small breach every two or three years, and a major breach every two or three decades.And every 30 years, it will be diverted once.

Because it is located in the Hanjiang Plain, the terrain is too flat, and it is easier to form silt.

The Dongjing River is an important tributary of the Great River, and the river in front of it is at least 600 meters wide and more than 20 meters deep.It is not a small river channel of 30 meters wide like Liuzhi River.

It is wishful thinking to build a dam and erect a gate here.

Even with cement now, it is impossible to complete the project in a short period of time.

For one thing, thousands of tons of cement have to be used.Second, there is no steel bar, only cement concrete, which is simply a joke.

Because of the characteristics of cement, it is hard and easy to crack.To build a dam with cement, it is necessary to add steel bars.

Therefore, what Pei Xianggong said about setting up a gate here is nothing but fantasy.At least, it is impossible to complete it in a short time.

What he said should be a long-term plan for the future.It points out a way for the future development direction.

However, Guo Yi's mission is to solve the flood in front of him first.

The King of Chu looked at the wide river in front of him, but saw that he was silent for a long time, so he turned his head and asked, "What does Erlang think?"

"Pei Xianggong is right. First divert the Han River into the old river channel, and then divert the Dongjing River water into the Han River to reduce the pressure on the big river.

But that is only a long-term plan, and our immediate question is, how should we deal with this flood? "

Pei Xidao suddenly nodded and admitted: "Erlang is right, but the old man didn't think carefully. You can't block the mouth of Dongjing River, it's better to block it.

If the old man remembers correctly, there should be a water gate in Jiangling City connected to the Dongjing River. "

"Yes!" The King of Chu nodded and agreed, "There are rivers in the city, which are connected to the Dongjing River. One is used for water transportation. The other is used for drainage during heavy rains.

There are two sluices connected to the Dongjing River on the west side, the upper gate is the water inlet through the northwest gate, and the lower gate is the water outlet through the south gate.

There is also a sluice outlet in the east, which is connected with Daze in the east, and is used for drainage when the Dongjing River rises. "

Just after he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "What does Mr. Pei mean?"

"Since it can't be blocked, let's unblock it. Open the water intake gate of the west door, and then open the drain port on the east side.

Since the water of the Great River cannot be released into the Daze, and the water of the Dongjing River is much smaller, it should be safe, right?
In this way, the drainage on both sides of the Dongjing River can quickly lower the water level, which will cause the water of the big river to backflow and enter the Dongjing River. "

Even Pei Xianggong, who is rich in experience, lacked confidence in the end.

Without him, in the face of the mighty power of God, human beings are too small and insignificant, and there are too many variables.

While talking, Pei Xidao couldn't help looking at Guo Yi, waiting for his opinion.The kid in front of him is Guo Erlang, a genius who is famous in Jinghu.

"This plan is feasible!" Guo Yi took his mind off the map of mountains and rivers, nodded and agreed, "We can release the flood to the big lake in the east. However, we have to recruit soldiers to open up those ponds and lakes."

Get through the ponds and lakes in Daze?

This is not the time to be joking...Is that something that can be done in a short time?
That is the ancient Yunmeng Lake, although it has disappeared, only dozens of large and small ponds and lakes remain.But they are far apart, with the tidal flats and swamps in the middle.

That is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Even if tens of thousands of soldiers are recruited, it will take at least a few months.

At this moment, the King of Chu and Pei Xidao couldn't help but frowned.

When Guo Yi saw this, he naturally knew what the two of them were thinking, but now he couldn't care less.

"I know the shortest distance between these ponds and lakes, and I have planned an optimal route. I can connect at the fastest speed!"

After finishing speaking, he shrugged with a wry smile: "Well, I originally planned to raise ducks and feed fish there. I planned to take it slowly, but now it's just that the plan is ahead of schedule."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the astonished two people and walked towards the thatched hut built by the embankment by the river.

Sitting in front of the simple wooden table, I began to trace the map with the pen and paper on the table.

That's right, it's a drawing.First open the landscape map and memorize part of it, and then draw it with pen and paper.So back and forth.

The King of Chu, father and son of the Pei family all gathered around the wooden table, watching intently.But the more I looked, the more surprised I became.

Because Guo Yi didn't have any reference objects in front of him, he just drew pictures out of thin air.In this way, there is only one answer.

He memorized them all.

Relying on superhuman memory, I remembered all of the vast and boundless Daze in my heart.

But even with a superhuman memory, how do you know the terrain there?

And the topography there, even in the Jiangling government annals, there is no detailed record.One is because it is too complicated, and the other is changeable.

The two were puzzled, but the King of Chu understood somewhat. He still remembered that Uncle Seventeen had mentioned to him that this Guo Erlang might be the descendant of Guigu.

I'm afraid, only people in Ghost Valley will study these things, right?

In this way, the act of drawing out of thin air in front of Guo Yi can also be solved.

After a while, the topographic map of the vast lake was finally completed.The ponds and lakes contained in it are all clear.

"Huh!" Guo Yi breathed a sigh of relief, put down the brush, and took out an erasable bamboo charcoal pen from his arms: "Hey, we can connect these shortest distances, and finally connect all the ponds and lakes together. Together.

In this way, these ponds and lakes can play the greatest role and store the most water.

Moreover, the direction of water flow can also be controlled.Don't let the water flow south to flood the farmland. "

The vast swamp was located in the northeast of Jiangling City, and to the south was a vast expanse of farmland.

As long as the direction of the water flow can be controlled and the water flow is not allowed to flood the farmland in the south, then the flood can be released into the Daze in a controlled manner.

The king of Chu immediately had a smile on his face, and he couldn't wait to say: "I'm going to post a notice to recruit forced labor. Recruit 10 people, two hundred dollars a day!"

"Well, it's doable. We have money now!" Guo Yi nodded in agreement.

"That's good! It's not too late, I'll go here!" King Chu hurriedly turned and left after speaking.
