I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 226 Disadvantages
After about ten days of urgent fighting, all the ponds and lakes in Daze were opened up.

But not all the teams were disbanded, and the remaining 5 people went to China Unicom Ofunaya.He Tong will be the supervisor.

As soon as the Daze was opened, the King of Chu ordered people to open the gates of the northwest water gate and the east gate, and began to discharge the flood into the Daze.

The turbulent Dongjing River flows through the water gate and Jiangling City, and then drains out from the east gate to reduce the pressure on the river.

The king of Chu personally led people to guard the river bank to prevent the river from getting out of control and spreading to Jiangling City.According to their vision, the Dongjing River will be drained from both sides in order to quickly lower the water level.

And as long as the water level drops, the big river connected to it will pour into the Dongjing River.Then a flood was discharged outward through the Dongjing River.

This is the principle of the connector, the knowledge of junior high school.

The King of Chu stood on the bank, looking at the raging river passing through the city, and he couldn't help sighing: "According to He Tongjuan's words, this connection to Daze is a waste of people and money. But in more than a year, it will definitely happen again. Blockage. What does Erlang think?"

Guo Yi smiled wryly: "There is no one-and-done solution, as long as the river is still flowing from high to low, it will inevitably carry a lot of sediment.

While enjoying the convenience brought by nature, you have to bear its disadvantages.

As for silting, we don't often drain water into the Daze to release floods. Only when the Dongjing River Estuary and the Dajiang River are flooded will we open the water gates to release floods. "

Yeah, there is no one-and-done solution.Even if you eat, you still have to poop...

Isn't it just digging canals? We will have money in the future, so we will dig it every year!
Although it costs a lot of money, the effect is real.

The ponds and lakes in that vast swamp are connected together like a string of big beads.

The turbulent Dongjing River drained from the east gate and poured into this string of large beads.Dozens of large and small ponds and lakes began to fill up, and finally flowed into the Big Boat Valley along the shallow canal just dug.

The water of the Dongjing River also began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only two days later, the water of the great river began to flow backwards, entering the mouth of the Dongjing River in the northwest direction.

A bit like the tide of the Qiantang River, water pours from the sea into the inland.

Not only a few of them, even the people nearby came out curiously to watch.

"Come and see! The river is flowing backwards!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! My old man has lived here all his life, and this is the first time he has seen the water of a big river flooding him!"

"Who says it's not! It's really rare!"

"As expected of His Majesty the King of Chu! I have been worrying all the time recently, because I am afraid that the river will burst its embankment!"

The water of the great river poured into the mouth of the Dongjing River, and then was carried by the water from the south of the Dongjing River all the way south, entering the Hanshui River.

From this point of view alone, their strategy this time is correct.As long as part of the river water is diverted from the big river, the pressure on the embankment of the big river can be greatly reduced.

A few of them stood on the bank, watching the turbulent river pouring back, Pei Xianggong stroked his beard and praised with a smile: "Erlang should be the first to contribute to this plan!"

What made him most happy was not only the success of this strategy, but also the return of his eldest son's prodigal son.

He has been busy with official duties all these years, so he really neglected to discipline this eldest son.Then, taking advantage of this opportunity to go out, he also brought him out together.

Looking at it now, it is undoubtedly correct.Guo Erlang stimulated him too much.

When Guo Yi heard his praise, he waved his hands again and again and said: "Mr. Pei is absurdly praised. You are the one who came up with this plan to divert the water from the great river! The boy is just trying to sell his strength!"

"Hahaha! Old Man Ye is right, you are just too modest!"

The King of Chu watched them laughing, his face was full of smiles, and he suggested after a while, "Let's go! Let's go to the Big Boat Valley!"

Dachuan Valley is fifty miles southeast of Jiangling City, under the shadow of a mound.The mound is not high, only more than [-] meters, but the strange rocks are extremely steep.

The distance of more than 50 miles took only more than an hour to ride a horse.Guo Yi led the way, and several people walked on horseback.

Not far from Jiangling City, I saw the artificially dug shallow ditch.Due to time constraints, the shallow ditch was only about two feet wide and less than three feet deep.

However, with Osawa as a buffer, the water flows very slowly when it reaches here.It is barely enough for temporary water diversion.When there is time in the future, I will dig deeper slowly.

And with this shallow canal as a guide, several people rode forward along the shallow canal.Not long after, I vaguely saw the valley ahead.

"Shut up!"

"The big boat valley is ahead!" Guo Yi raised his whip and followed his fingers to the front.

The Valley of the Big Ship got its name because it looks like a big ship.Standing on the valley and looking down, you can see the whole picture from the height.

The rocks in the valley are rugged and extremely deep, but the vegetation is very scarce.

And 'Xiagu Village' and 'Shanggu Village' are also nearby, living by mountains and rivers.

Several people dismounted and entered the valley along the shallow ditch.It didn't take long to come to the edge of the valley, with steep cliffs on both sides and a cliff valley in the middle, which is a hundred meters deep.

This place should be formed by terrain movement, and I have to admire the magic of the Creator.

Pei Xi nodded uncontrollably: "It's an excellent place to release flood water. It's really a waste to keep it unused."

The King of Chu also nodded obediently and said: "In this case, the water gates on the east and west sides will be temporarily opened until the water level of the river drops to the scale four!

After returning, I will send the embankment officer here to watch. "

"Ding! Special task: Correctly respond to floods, complete! Reward: "World Encyclopedia of Hydraulic Engineering" has been distributed."

Guo Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the pleasant system tone.Although the system determined that the flood disaster had been dealt with in the past, many follow-up things had to continue.

Not only those rivers excavated in Daze have to be maintained frequently to avoid silting up again.Even this shallow canal has to be deepened and widened, and even extended westward to cut off the floodwater overflowing from the big lake, so as not to flood the farmland in the south.

But no matter what, with the connection between the pond and the lake in Daze, and the excavation of the shallow canal of Ofunaya, they won more time, and they can make better planning without being in such a hurry.

And Jiangling City, which was originally tense and jittery, also began to restore normal order.

Papermaking workshops and porcelain kilns also began to work normally, and even the suspended oiran competition resumed.

At this time of exuberance, Shen Chengjiang came.

There is no need to inquire at all, the porcelain kilns in the west of the city have long been known to everyone.Also because of that charity sale, the porcelain produced here was widely praised among literati and students.
