Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 281
Yuezhou is a famous town in ancient Yue. It has been a rich land for thousands of years.

The rivers are criss-cross, the lakes are densely covered, and the lake fields are vast. It is famous all over the world as the water town of Zeguo.

There will be several heavy rains here every year in early June, and flooding is also common, and the locals have long been used to it.

Anyway, there are many waterways here, and it is not far from the sea. No matter how big the water is, it will just leak down, and it will not affect anything.

So when the torrential rain came at the end of May and the provincial government sent people down to ask for disaster prevention preparations, no one from the local government to the people below cared.

It wasn't until the rainstorm continued for ten days that the rivers were full and even Jianhu Lake was overflowing.

But at this moment, the local magistrate didn't take it seriously. He only thought that the rain would stop in another two or two days, and the water would naturally leak out.

When Yun Qinghong and Niu Fang arrived, it was raining heavily, and the prefect was still drinking at home.

Yun Qinghong specially invited Chang Baicheng to come with him, and asked Chang Baicheng to arrest the magistrate on the spot and throw him in prison. Then he summoned the yamen servants and asked them to go to the villages in the lake fields to ring gongs Warning.

Then ask Chang Baicheng to take someone with him to the embankment of the Cao'e River.

This river is the largest river in Yuezhou. It usually looks like a graceful woman, bypassing the territory of Yuezhou gently and gracefully. .

At this time, the river water was like a wild horse running wild, and the raging waves rushed straight to the embankment.

Yun Qinghong immediately gave an order to use all available labor to fill up the embankment at the mouth of a large lake with more than ten villages and make the bottom heavier.

The local yamen servants didn't understand very much. A middle-aged yamen servant also said that even if the flood is prevented, it shouldn't be here, because it is not far from the sea, and the water is turbulent, but if it is all discharged into the sea, it will overflow the dam. There are many small lakes and ponds in the lake field, even the rice fields can hold a lot of water.

Building here is really a waste of manpower.

Yun Qinghong ignored it, as long as Chang Baicheng forced people to come to repair the dam.

Chang Baicheng's imperial guards are not ordinary government troops, and they have been out for so long, and the benefits obtained from the house raids have not been sent back. Naturally, he was impatient to explain to others, and directly drew a knife to force them to go to the embankment.

Fortunately, there was a manager of a big village in the local area who took the lead. He only said that his boss had also said that under the heavy rain, it was hard to say anything.

This Zhuangzi started harvesting rice as early as the first rain. At that time, people around him laughed, saying that the rice was only seven mature, and the ears of rice were not full after harvesting, and the yield was severely reduced. No one listened to the manager's persuasion.

But now it's all right, except for that Zhuangzi who still has [-]% of the harvest, most of the rest of the fields are rotten in the fields, even if they are picked up in the rain, they are only [-] to [-] percent.

So let's talk about the steward, coupled with the vicious guards, the people in the village were obedient, and sent the women and children to the high ground, and the young and middle-aged people went to the dam.

Yun Qinghong led people to repair the embankment for three days, the heavy rain was still falling, and the people in the lake field were crowded together, but the river water kept pouring down.

The old yamen servant couldn't help but say a few more unpleasant words, saying that Yun Qinghong had the time, so he might as well look elsewhere, now that the rainstorm is continuous, the entire Liangzhe Road has become Zeguo, Huzhou, and the Fuchun River side is dangerous .

Even Niu Fang was a little puzzled, and asked Yun Qinghong privately: "I see that there should be no major problems here, why doesn't Sanlang go to the Fuchun River?"

The water potential of the Fuchun River is the most fierce, and it is also the place where Master Gao first arranged. As soon as they arrived, Yun Qinghong asked Yun Chenshui and Sun Zhuangyuan to go to the Fuchun River together, but he ended up here.

Yun Qinghong looked at the Taotao River in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The Fuchun River is adequately protected, but there is no warning on this side. Moreover, this place is densely populated, if something happens..."

Yun Qinghong didn't continue, but just let out a long sigh.

After he arrived in Jiangnan, he found that things were much better than he had imagined.

After Mr. Gao took office as the transshipment envoy of the Liangzhe Road, he immediately brought up many small officials. Those people were old people who were very good at farming and water conservancy. They reminded Mr. Gao that the weather this year was not good. normal.

Therefore, in some important places, Mr. Gao took advantage of the aftermath of the Jiangnan corruption case to directly replace the local government's staff and let people start to prepare.

Mr. Gao squatted there himself in the most famous place in his previous life where the ten-mile long embankment collapsed.

But there are two places that Mr. Gao has not guarded against, one is the upper reaches of the Fuchun River, and the other is here.

Niu Fang thought for a while, then looked at the terrain in the lake field where there was a village not far away, and nodded.

The yield per mu of the fields here is high, and there are aquatic and marine products, making life easier for people, so most of them are people who own their own land. In this piece of lake land of 10,000+ mu, there is only one Zhuangzi with more than [-] mu, and the rest are owned by them. Small farmers with tens of acres of land.

There are hundreds of people in a village, and there are more than 2 taxpayers (taxpayers) in this area.

If something really happens...

At first he followed Yun Qinghong just out of loyalty, out of dissatisfaction with Cai Xiang and Han Xiang's inaction, when he actually got here, he realized how right he had come.

The rain here, the water here, and the people here are not the few lines on the memorial!
This is tens of thousands of human lives, I don't know how much wealth, and this year's summer grain...

Thinking of Xia Liang, Niu Fang unconsciously thought of Zhao Hao, and said in a low voice, "I heard that it was Little General Zhao who suggested Mr. Gao go to Huzhou."

Yun Qinghong slightly raised his brows, nodded and said: "Yes."

"As a leader of the army, he still thought that when the Taihu Lake was full, the stream would backfill and cause the lake embankment to collapse." Niu Fang shook his head lightly and said, "I just don't know if he thought that the current situation would happen. "

Even with Mr. Gao’s precautions, many places still don’t take it seriously. There are not many people who really listen to the advice to harvest grain early. This year’s summer grain in Liangzhe Road, I’m afraid I don’t have enough to eat, let alone grain .

Yun Qinghong frowned slightly, and the sense of disobedience that had arisen since hearing that Zhao Hao led people to investigate the Yao family's criminal evidence in Hangzhou expanded again in his heart.

Zhao Hao, the Zhao Hao he knew, was a man of bravery and strategy. He was very good at fighting, but he was also good at fighting.

Even the fortifications of the capital were repaired by him, Yun Qinghong, and he didn't know anything about water conservancy.

If he knew what stream was pouring back, then he must be a ghost!
Moreover, in terms of water conservancy, the Fuchun River is the easiest place to know where the mistakes are at a glance. Why didn't he mention it?

In the past life, the flood caused great sorrow in the south, and tragedies happened in many places, but it was widely known because of the special situation in Huzhou and the huge loss.

and so……

"Master Yun! Here we come! Here we come!" A loud exclamation came from the watchtower ahead.

Yun Qinghong's expression froze, he no longer cared about Zhao Hao's affairs, and ran to the watchtower with Niu Fang.

Before reaching the watchtower, one could already see a huge wave with a height of ten meters surging in the distance, rushing backwards from the mouth of the sea.

"Hai Long turned over!" The old yamen servant screamed.

Before the cry fell, the huge wall of waves pushed the river water straight towards the Wankou dam.

"Hold on tight!"
