Daming heir

When Sun Cheng came out of the cement factory, his body was already covered with cement dust. Except for his eyes and mouth, nothing was clean.

The guards, who were also guarding the cement factory, sent officials from the Henan government, who had already skillfully lifted a bucket of water covered with a rag from the side.

"Several Shangguans, wipe your face with this oilcloth first, and then rinse with clean water."

As he spoke, the officer opened a leather bag on his waist, took out a rag soaked in rapeseed oil, and handed it to Sun Cheng.

After walking through the cement factory himself, Sun Cheng immediately took the oilcloth, wiped every inch of his face carefully, and then rinsed it with clean water.

The rest of them followed suit.

When everyone showed clean faces, Sun Cheng looked at the official who stood aside and never left, with a flattering look on his face.

He waved his hand: "Go down, I haven't been here today."

The officer couldn't stop nodding his head: "I know, I know, the villain doesn't know anything today."

Sun Cheng hummed before leading his subordinates out of the cement factory.

When they got outside, the people who stayed outside the factory gate had already brought Zhenfu's horse over.

Sun Cheng held the reins in his hand, but he didn't rush to get on the horse. Instead, he turned his head to look at the men who entered the cement factory with him.

"What do you think?"

The case has been investigated until now, and there is still no clue, and everyone in Jinyiwei has long been angry.

One person shook his head and whispered, "There is nothing suspicious."

Another person also said: "The subordinates compared the production process of the cement plant built by Zhang Shilang at the Taipingfu Mine, and did not find anything that did not conform to the process."

"It's too normal to appear a little abnormal..."

Someone whispered again.

Everyone looked over.

Sun Cheng also looked over indifferently, and then nodded under the nervous gaze of the man: "It's really too normal, so it looks abnormal."

In front of the cement factory, Jin Yiwei and his party, disguised as businessmen, have already started to slowly go deep into the valley.

At this time, Sun Cheng had already driven his horse and headed for Anle Village.

He said in a deep voice: "The cement factory in Fudian Town was supervised by the Chief Envoy of Henan Province and the Yamen of Henan Prefecture.

After speaking, Sun Cheng's face became a little dignified.

At this moment in time, the more normal things are, the more abnormal they are.

It is absolutely impossible for the common people who work in the cement factory not to be curious about the sudden appearance of themselves and others.

After Sun Cheng's reminder, the eyes of several Jin Yiwei who were also riding horses immediately moved.

"What the governor said is probably the most likely! The common people who worked in the factory waited for me to enter the factory, but no one came to look around."

"This is the most wrong thing! If you are an ordinary worker, even if the construction schedule is tight, you should have doubts and curiosity about the sudden appearance of strangers."

"So, there is something wrong with the people who work in the cement factory!"

Several subordinates have already reviewed the situation encountered by the talented people after entering the factory one by one, and in an instant they have the idea of ​​​​calling the Henan government officials to send troops to block the entire cement factory.

Sun Cheng shook his head: "It's not in a hurry at this time. These people may be abnormal, but they shouldn't have participated in anything. Otherwise, when they see us, they will think about how to escape."

"Maybe they don't know who we really are?"

"Or, are they waiting for me to leave before avoiding attention and running away quietly?"

The team continued to go in the direction of Anle Village, and everyone on horseback felt more and more strange.

Sun Cheng's eyes were gloomy, staring gloomyly at the sky that had turned a little gray due to the appearance of the cement factory, and at the forests in the mountains that had already been covered with cement ash.

"Don't startle the snake, it will be dark in a few hours, when it gets dark, go out quietly.

Take the tooth card of our Jinyiwei and go directly to Luoyang City to mobilize soldiers and horses. If there is any serious problem here, listen to the signal outside the mountain pass and act! "

Several people frowned, but they could only act like this now.

If there is really a problem here, they only have these ten or so people now, once the other party finds out about it, they may not even be able to send the news in the end.

Riding on horseback, Sun Cheng looked in the direction of Anle Village, and then at the continuous quarry area on the hillside opposite the village.

Although I felt something was wrong when I was in the cement factory, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong right now.

Looking at the quarry areas, Sun Cheng frowned for no reason.

Where is the problem?

……

The same doubt always lingers in Zhu Yunxi's heart.

I have deduced all the possibilities in my mind, but I just can't figure out what went wrong.

Dams and water reduction dams were built by the officials of the River Governor's Yamen and those recruited river workers.

During this process, all construction processes were placed under the eyes of the imperial court.

In addition to the establishment of inspection and supervisors within the governor's yamen of the river, the Sansi yamen of Henan Province also sent officials to supervise, and the two-level yamen of prefectures and counties where each section of the river is located in the local area also sent officials to supervise the work.

In addition to the intervention of all the above-mentioned government forces, the imperial court also gathered officials from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inspect the river when the governor's yamen was first established.

It can be said that the imperial court paid unparalleled attention to the matter of river governance.

The imperial court needs to record the entry and exit of as small as a penny.

Where each carload of materials is produced, who buys it, and where it is going to be used, every transaction is recorded.

It's just that the Hedao Governor's Yamen in Kaifeng City, and the file warehouse for storing records, have reached the point where they need to be expanded in just half a year.

Such detailed records are not impossible.

As far back as the former Qin Dynasty, every brick on the Great Wall recorded who made it.Each of the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses buried under the soil of Guanzhong corresponds to a craftsman.

But looking at the model in front of him, it is also reserved for the imperial court to initiate random inspections at any time, and at the same time, the two sections of the dam and the dam under the embankment were under construction, Zhu Yunxi couldn't figure it out at all, because there were thieves making trouble.

But how did they make the dams and dams collapse completely when they couldn't bear the impact of a few heads of water.

Zhu Yunxi looked again at Zhou Guangli, who was in charge of the construction of the river channel in Mengjin County, Henan Province.

"At that time, the water headed down from the upstream and hit the dam, and it collapsed in an instant?"

Zhou Guangli nodded heavily, and affirmed: "At that time, I had just arrived on the wooden bridge laid on the dam. I saw all the water from the upper reaches rushing in. The dam resisted for a few breaths before it was completely washed away by the flood. I definitely did not remember wrongly! It was like that at that time!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, frowning tightly, staring solemnly at the dam in front of him and the backup of the dam.

If everything is really as Zhou Guangli said, then it can be ruled out that someone on the other side of the dam used gunpowder to blow up the dam at the bottom of the water.

If the rebels really used gunpowder to blow up the dam, Zhou Guangli would definitely hear the difference.

After the flood came down from the upper reaches, the dam was destroyed by the flood in just a few breaths.

This undoubtedly shows that the problem still lies in the dam body itself.

Just looking at the two sections of the dam, Zhu Yunxi hesitated.

The dams at both ends in front of us were built completely according to the description given to the imperial court by the Yamen of the governor of the river.

Let's say that it will be stored in the river channel all the time in the end, and it will act as a dam for scouring the downstream riverbed.

The whole is made of steel rods and poured cement concrete.According to the regulations, below the river bed, the river bed silt should be cleared out to a depth of at least ten feet, and then the concrete dam body should be poured.

Zhu Yunxi moved closer to the dam.

Small spots remained on the surface of the cement column.

That is the trace left by the river workers hitting with a sledgehammer after the pouring was completed.

The presence of these whitish spots shows that these water reduction dams are in full compliance with the requirements.

Zhou Guangli followed Zhu Yunxi, looked at the spots left on the surface of the concrete pillar, and said with memories on his face: "Your Highness, the most difficult thing to build on the entire river is these water reduction dams. The water reduction dams are connected together to shrink the river below the river surface and accelerate the erosion of the downstream river bed.

Therefore, the dams on the rivers in Mengjin County were all built according to the requirements determined by the imperial court.

In order to gather the required cement and steel bars, the governor's office and the Henan Province's third department's office almost mobilized all the resources in the entire Henan Province.

Seeing those steel rods being buried in the cement, Chen couldn't feel more distressed.I can assure you that no one on the river will steal money from it, let alone shoddy things happen! "

Zhu Yunxi pressed his palm on the concrete pillar, looked at Zhou Guangli who was looking excited, and nodded slightly.

He went to the dam again.

The construction method of the entire dam is exactly the same as that of the original dam built in the river.

In reality, the masonry soil bag was sunk under the river bed, and then bluestone strips were sunk as the core foundation, and fine masonry gravel was sunk to fill the gaps between the stone strips.

After stabilizing the base, it is superimposed layer by layer.

After the entire dam is above the water surface, layers of earth bags will be filled on the upstream side to completely seal off the infiltration of river water.

Everything was also built in accordance with the requirements of the River Governor's Yamen and the imperial court.

"From this point of view, there is no problem with the dam and the dam itself..."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered, and a sense of helplessness and powerlessness of fists hitting the cotton rose in his heart.

Zhou Guangli didn't know how to explain it for a while.

I can't say that maybe all of this was really done by the Dragon Lord of the Yellow River?
Wang Xinling, the governor of the Si Yamen, frowned and walked to the dam.

"On the way here, I saw the construction method of the dam and the dam. Everything was built according to the regulations. How could it be destroyed by a few water heads?"

Wang Xinling doesn't believe that there is such a thing as the Dragon King of the Yellow River in this world. If there really is, there won't be so many disasters before the imperial court makes up its mind to control the river, causing the people on both sides of the strait to continue to suffer from disasters.

That rumor was unfounded.

The imperial court ruled the river and built dams and dams, which blocked the way of the Dragon King of the Yellow River, which led to accidents in the river.

But before the imperial court started to control the river?
You must know that the thousands of miles of the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River, those people who rely on the Yellow River to live, have countless customs.

Many of them come around the Yellow River, and sacrifices are made on the embankment every year to pray for the peace of the Yellow River.

The piety of the Central Plains people is rigorous.

If there really is a Yellow River Dragon Lord, seeing how pious the people on both sides of the strait are, it shouldn't cause disasters from time to time.

The more Wang Xinling thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

Snapped.

His palm slapped heavily on the dam.

Just in the blink of an eye, Wang Xinling let out a light snort, frowned, and looked hesitantly at the dam under his palm.

Wang Xinling's palm was pressed against a piece of bluestone on the section of the dam.

He frowned, rubbing his palm against the bluestone strip gently.

Very moist!

As a result, Wang Xinling's tension became more and more tense.

Tian Mai walked over from the side and said in a low voice, "What did Governor Wang find?"

Although his inquiry was not loud, Zhu Yunxie, Zhou Guangli and others still looked at him.

Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly: "What did you find?"

Wang Xinling looked at Zhou Guangli suspiciously: "Master Zhou, these bluestones are so moist and delicate, they are still oily?"

Zhou Guangli shook his shoulders and hurried forward.

He said in his mouth: "No, the bluestone is all taken from the local quarry in Henan Province. It is dry and firm. It has always been the best choice for rivers."

While talking, Zhou Guangli had already walked to Wang Xinling's side.

Wang Xinling pursed his lips, and glanced at Zhou Guangli with some deep meaning in his eyes: "Master Zhou, you can try it yourself."

Zhou Guangli turned his head and glanced at the emperor's grandson who was standing close by, his eyes already gloomy.

And behind him, Tian Mai has already shown his eyes to several subordinates.

As long as it is confirmed that there is really a problem with the dam, then Zhou Guangli will naturally take it down as soon as possible.

Then everything he said earlier was a lie!

Zhou Guangli seemed to have noticed the difference in the atmosphere.

He swallowed nervously, and raised his arm hesitantly and slowly.

When he pointed his palm directly at the bluestone.

Wang Xinling at the side let out a noise from his nasal cavity, and stretched out his hand to press Zhou Guangli's palm on the bluestone.

Zhou Guangli trembled all over, and the moment his palm touched the bluestone, his face changed drastically, turning pale.

"impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Zhou Guangli exclaimed, his face full of shock.

In just a split second, he had already turned around, and under the watchful eyes of the river workers who were attracted by his two shouts, he knelt straight in front of Zhu Yunxi.

Zhou Guangli raised his head: "Your Highness, I have been wronged! There is definitely something wrong with this bluestone! But... Cocoa... I really didn't know beforehand! When the material was collected, I watched it with my own eyes, so there was absolutely no problem at that time!"
