Yunchu's body trembled, and he looked at Gentleman with difficulty and said, "Qujiang Pond is the place where water is stored when heavy rains come every year.
In previous years, whenever there was a flood, the water from Chang'an City was discharged to Qujiang Pond."
Wen Wen nodded and said: "Yes, that's the case. A large amount of water flows into the Wei River along the drainage ditch, and a small amount of water enters the Qujiang River. This in itself is Chang'an City's way to resist floods.
But, it can't be done now.
You think the rain in Wannian County is heavy, but you don't know that the rain is even heavier elsewhere. The Wei River has risen by more than two feet. After we bombed the Xianyang Bridge, it was washed away by the flood because it was not repaired in time.
Not only can sewers not be able to discharge water to the Wei River, but because the water level of the Wei River has become higher, they are flowing backwards.
A large number of debris flows occurred on the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains in the southwest of Lantian County. The debris flows poured into the Tangyu River, Daiyu River, and Kuyu River at the source of the Chan River. Among them, the Tangyu River was blocked due to landslides. In addition, these days
There have been heavy rains and a terrible barrier lake has formed there.
Once the barrier lake is washed away by the rising flood, the entire Chan River dam will collapse immediately, and the river water will overflow from the Chan River.
So, your things outside Wannian County are finished.
The Chan River is connected to Qujiang Pool, and Qujiang Pool is connected to Chang'an City. Once the Chan River water pours into Qujiang Pool, the ditches that divert water from Qujiang into Chang'anfang City will also be flooded by the flood.
Nowadays, the autumn rain is continuous, and the people in Si Tianjian say that the heavy rain will continue for at least ten days. Even if there is no barrier lake, if the Chan River continues to rise, then there is a possibility that Chang'an City will be flooded."
Yun Chu said angrily: "Why didn't anyone notify me? Even if Qujiang Pond is dug to release floods, do you still have to notify me to evacuate the people?"
"This is Shangguan's kindness to you."
"You have good intentions, but you are going to dig a dike and drown the people under my rule, but you don't tell me. Is this a good thing for me?"
Wen Wen said: "The people outside the city are the people under your rule, aren't the people in the city the same?
When subordinates are in a dilemma, this kind of order is usually issued by the superior officer.
In other words, disaster relief is a matter for you, the county magistrate, and it is the Shangguan who issues the order to break the embankments and release the floods.
While others are digging embankments, you are providing disaster relief. This is normal."
Yun Chu's eyes darkened, he shook his head and said, "Qujiangfang is finished."
Qujiangfang is the birthplace of primitive industry that Yunchu had set long ago. After the earth mountain was excavated, Yunchu prepared to upgrade Qujiangfang's industry from a brick-burning one to the largest in the Tang Dynasty.
Papermaking base.
Others used ivy, hemp, and rotten fish nets to make paper. Yun Chu prepared to use bamboo for paper making in Qujiangfang.
The scarcity of materials such as ivy leather, hemp leather, and rotten fish nets in the front has seriously restricted the quantity and quality of papermaking.
If he uses fast-growing bamboo to make paper, he can bring down the price of paper at once. The Jinchangfang Copper Plate Printing Workshop and Yu Xiurong's book printing workshop can cooperate and bring down the price of books.
This will turn into a long-term industrial chain that can radiate to the surrounding areas, thereby driving the continued prosperity of the Silk Road.
Now, all the preparations I made will be in vain.
Yun Chu slowly sat on his seat for a while to collect himself, and then said to Wen Wen: "When will the embankment be dug and the water released?"
Wen Wen whispered: "At three o'clock in the hour, the gunpowder exploded."
Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Tell me, am I trapping myself in a cocoon? Didn't I tell the people before I blew up the embankment?"
"Of course someone told people to leave the flooded area, but no one told you, the county magistrate."
"Why?"
"Because your temper is notoriously violent, as His Majesty calls it, how could you tolerate the people under your rule being deliberately flooded by them?
In order to save trouble, people will just pass you by and stab you to the end. In this way, even if the people suffer losses, they will not blame you and your resentment will not be too heavy."
Yun Chu said: "Am I so important?"
Wen Wen put a piece of cake in her mouth and said, "You are always looking down on yourself. A sixth-grade county magistrate will usually be dragged out and thrown away by the Jinwu Guards or Palace Guards. You were not thrown away, but met His Majesty."
.
Then, the governor of Baiqisi took over the government-run weaving workshop, do you know what this means?"
"What does it mean?"
"It means that after your memorial is placed on His Majesty's desk, it will be arranged as a priority, and His Majesty will also focus on your memorial. This is power, it is very important, even a very important power."
Yunchu stood up, put on his wet raincoat again, and said to the clerk guarding the door: "Let's play the drum."
A large group of officials who had followed Yun Chu in the muddy water for three days appeared in front of Yun Chu again.
Yunchu didn't explain much and said to Zhang and Wu officials: "At Youshi, the levee of Qujiang Lake will burst. Now, what we have to do is to take the people in Qujiangli out from there and resettle them.
"
County Lieutenant Zhang Jia didn't understand what was going on, but Master Wu opened his mouth wide and shouted: "The breach releases floods, why is it my Wannian County? Qujiangfang is one of the top sources of wealth in Chang'an City.
Why choose there?
I’m not convinced.”
Yun Chu glanced at Mr. Wu and said calmly: "Except for Qujiangfang, the surrounding areas are all where the Royal Courtyard is located, or it is Shanglin Garden, Yichun Palace, etc. If we don't dig the dam here, how do you expect to dig the other side?"
On the side?"
Mr. Wu had tears in his eyes, and his mouth wriggled feebly a few times. Finally, he sat down on the threshold of the Yamen, holding his head in his hands, and was speechless in grief.
Not only is Master Wu unwilling, but no one in Wannian County is willing. Jinchangfang and Qujiangli are the places that support the wealth of Wannian County.
Even if other villages in Wannian County are flooded, they are confident that they can rely on the wealth of these two villages to survive the most difficult period, and then slowly wait for the recovery of the entire Wannian County.
Now, if Qujiangli is flooded, it will not only affect Qujiangli. Qujiangli is also responsible for the supply of top-quality meat to Jinchangfang. Therefore, Jinchangfang will also be affected. This is certain.
Yun Chu said calmly: "It's no big deal, if we can create one Qujiangli, we can create ten Qujiangli.
Let's go, move people out, we still have a chance."
Sometimes morale is really important. Three days ago, Yun Chu led a team with high morale out of Chang'an City for disaster relief.
This time, Yunchu left Chang'an City with a dejected team to evacuate the people near Qujiangli.
As soon as they left the city gate, everyone turned their attention to Qujiangli. Yunchu suddenly discovered that the direction of Qujiangli was still filled with thick smoke, like a ghost land.
"They are still producing. Isn't this nonsense?"
In the Tang Dynasty, there were many things more valuable than human life, such as food, money, and now there is another brick.
The road to Qujiangli was extremely muddy. Even a majestic BMW such as the Bay Red Horse had lost its former elegance and staggered forward in the mud.
In the past, the bay horse could reach Qujiang in just a cup of tea, but today it took more than half an hour to walk.
When everyone arrived in Qujiang, they found that the place was so peaceful that it was confusing.
Zeng Erniu stood at the gate of the inner square to greet Yunchu, and a dam made of bricks and tiles suddenly appeared under his feet.
The dam looked very strong and tall. The bay-red horse stepped on the huge wooden plank built on the dam to get to the dam. Zeng Erniu cupped his hands and said: "I told the county magistrate before, Qujiangfang
Safe and sound."
Yunchu asked doubtfully, do you just rely on the dam under your feet?"
Erniu said with a smile: "An expert said that the most terrifying thing about a flood is the first wave. If the first wave can be blocked, then the subsequent floods will flow to the ground according to the terrain.
Moreover, Qujiang Pool itself is the lowest-lying place in this area. The craftsmen have calculated that even if the dam of Qujiang Pool is dug, Qujiang River will only be able to withstand two feet of water from Qujiang Pool.
As long as we set up a one-foot-high dike on the front of the water to block the most ferocious first wave, the two-foot-high water surface of Qujiang Lake is not much, and it can only submerge the farmland in Qujiang River.
What's more, we originally planned to divert water to wash out alkali this year, so this flood came at the right time for me in Qujiangli."
Yun Chu looked at the young man in front of him who had been kicked hard by him, and said doubtfully: "You shouldn't have this ability."
Er Niu smiled and pointed at the Japanese Abe who had his hands in his sleeves behind the embankment and said, "It was his idea."
Yunchu said angrily: "What does a Japanese know?"
Abe, who was standing low, said coldly: "My hometown is right on the seaside. Whenever there is a strong wind, waves ten thousand times more terrible than this will pour into my hometown along the estuary.
Although I am indeed not as good as the Tang people in other aspects, when it comes to how to deal with floods, the Japanese Abe still has a say."
Yunchu glanced at Abe and said to the accompanying county captain and chief registrar: "If he does it, don't embarrass him in the future. If he doesn't, throw him into the water."
Abe still put his hands in his sleeves, looked up at Yun Chu and said: "I have never understood. Abe came to Datang to study with a heart of respect. He thought that there was nothing rude about him, so why did the county magistrate treat me so badly?
Full of hostility,"
Yun Chu said impatiently: "I am not hostile to you, but to all Japanese people."
Abe said in confusion: "Did we, the Japanese, do something that dissatisfied the county magistrate?
If this is the case, please ask the county magistrate to kill Abe alone to relieve the unhappiness in your heart, so that the other Japanese can devote themselves to studying in the Tang Dynasty."
Yunchu looked down at the fearless Abe at his feet, and a wave of nameless hatred rose from the soles of his feet, making his teeth itch.
Yes, he hates Japanese people very much, and the Japanese people he hates the most are the Japanese people in front of him who behave like his mother's saint.
