Fifty households were placed in the worst place in the Yellow River Flood by Wang Xiaoer.

"We are all the people with the most kindness of the Regent, and we must build the worst place in Henan." This is the most simple gratitude idea of ​​Wang Xiaoer and everyone.

Fifty families, nearly 200, including the children who had just picked up wooden sticks, first surrounded a slightly higher place and formed a cofferdam.

Then, the Regent created something called the Dutch windmill invented by him and bought with loans.

Why is it called a Dutch windmill?

The Regent said that the Netherlands used this thing to open up half of its territory in the sea.

Since we can open up our territory from the sea, what are the problems with the algae formed by the flooding of the Yellow River?

In everyone's heart, the Regent said there was no problem, and there was no problem.

A windmill was erected.

When Wang Xiaoer smashed the wooden plug, everyone was surprised to find that the huge fan blade of the windmill began to squeak.

The huge wheels drove a wide water bag and began to pump the water from the cofferdam into the channels outside the cofferdam. It was thrilling, day and night, much faster than a thousand people who were exhausted day and night.

Just overnight, the land that had just been surrounded was drained from the water.

Wang Xiaoer's family obtained five hundred acres of arable land after a autumn drying.

After years of flooding, the land has been fattened, which is much better than that in Shandong.

"Hurry up, hurry up, move the windmill there. Didn't you see a fellow villager there without a windmill? The whole family was crying without tears?"

There was a commoner who came out of the river. But because there was no windmill, he could only use a basin and bowl to dig out the cofferdam. At that speed, the year of the monkey and horses could only be drained out of the cofferdam?

"Parents, we can have another cofferdam."

Wang Xiaoer, who was covered in mud on the official uniform, slapped the brother: "We came from Shandong. What is the purpose of it? Save Henan and help Henan. What about your enlightenment? Is your enlightenment eaten by a dog?"

What else should I say? To make aware, lend the windmill to my neighbors. Although this was bought with a loan, it was nothing. Next year, there was a bumper harvest and I would pay it back easily.

Regardless of the relocation windmill, Wang Xiaoer and his subordinates hurried to the next village and town.

There, there was a group of people who came out of the Yellow River Flood, without food or clothing.

It's summer now, it's okay without clothes, but without food, it will starve to death.

Now, the person who cannot starve to death is the most important thing.

I have been hiding in the yellow-floor zone for almost ten years. Men are naked, and women are just weaving reeds to weave grass curtains to cover key positions.

Wang Xiaoer said patiently to them: "These grains are not given to you. The prince asked that if he had taken these grains, he would have to pay a hundred acres of land in the cofferdam. This was considered to hire you and then contracted them directly to you.

But don’t worry, don’t worry about traffic. The day after tomorrow, more Dutch windmills will be transported from Shandong to drain the water from your cofferdam, turn this swamp into fertile fields, and there will be a good harvest next year."

The family knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently.

As he kowtowed, the man looked up: "By the way, I haven't asked where the Regent is sitting."

Look, I was happy to worship the wrong direction, right?

In the Kaifeng Prefecture government office, Wang Xiaoer, who was lying on the bed without any superiority, reported to the Regent: "There are 473,000 people who came out of the reed marshes in the Yellow River Flood, among which the young and strong are the most young and strong."

"Why?"

"Because in such a difficult environment, the elderly and children are dead."

Wang Xuejun was sad.

"The subordinates mobilized young people to work on the Yellow River to build dams to earn grain wages; let women take care of windmills and pump water to build fields day and night. If there are more than twice the windmills, we can restore no less than five million acres of land before autumn. With the original good land, we will not only ensure that the people are self-sufficient, but also sell surplus grain to-"

Wang Xuejun buried his head in recording, but suddenly found that Wang Xiaoer, the Kaifeng prefect has lost his life. Looking back, he actually fell asleep.

Wang Xuejun stopped his subordinates from calling Wang Xiaoer and scolded him for being disrespectful.

Put away the document records and quietly stand up and walk out.

At this time, a yamen runner covered in mud hurried in: "No, no, Wangzhuang cofferdam has collapsed."

In the lobby, Wang Xiaoer rolled over and got up, and urgently ordered: "Call the yamen runners and follow me." Then he ran over Wang Xuejun like the wind, and it was too late to even look at him and say hello.

In addition to a few veterans, all of them are grassroots officials, and there are also Jinshi who are from poor backgrounds this year.

They did not forget their original intentions and devoted themselves to the construction of Henan.

The official atmosphere can infect people. People are working hard, why are you lazy?

Don't you feel ashamed of your laziness?

Other colleagues are covered in mud. Are you tidy and don’t you feel ashamed and out of place?

They knew that they were racing against the Qing Dynasty, racing against the God, and racing against the cannibal king of Hell.

The soldiers of the 7,000 African Legion were blocked on the Yellow River defense line and were ready to face the Qing Dynasty's raid at any time. They were just iron walls.

The soldiers of the 70,000 army led by Wang Xuejun also put down their guns and participated in the war to restore Henan. Warriors were everywhere plugging loopholes and draining hard.

The people always feel that the official army is not a high-ranking official army, but a life-saving person for the people. No matter how difficult it is, as long as the official army appears, everyone will know that they are saved.

It was late autumn, and the first heavy snow fell in Henan, and everything stopped because of the heavy snow.

The coke brazier bakes the lobby of Henan Provincial Government as warm as spring.

Henan governor Feng Yinglun reported to the Regent: "Telection of 2.11 million people in Hedang, recalling 1 million people from other provinces, and recruiting 1 million people from Hebei, Shanxi and Shaanxi. Now, Henan has a total of about 4.5 million people."

Wang Xuejun remained silent.

In the fourth year of the Tianqi period, Henan's registered population was 11 million, not considered the hidden population of the wealthy family.

However, if the population of Henan is not foreign in just twenty years, it is only three million. In fact, it is less than a fraction of the past.

The Governor of the Military Field Army Ying Tingji reported: "The power of your Dutch windmill is now drained and dried and restored. The land that can be sown in the spring of next year will reach 17 million mu. Our food will be guaranteed next year."

In the fourth year of Tianqi, the land on the list, including the royal palaces, gentry and landlords, had 41 million mu of land. As a result, only 17 million mu of mu have been restored, but this is the result of the efforts of all officials, soldiers and the people.

But the greater contribution is Boss Cao.

"The Yellow River has been blocked, allowing the Yellow River to return to its old path. Not only will Henan no longer suffer from floods in a few years, but the surging Yellow River water has truly isolated Shanxi and Hebei and become a natural barrier between us and the Qing Dynasty."

Deputy Secretary Hong Niangzi of the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported: "Because of labor-for-relief, when restoring the Yellow River, the people received wages and merchants transported in enough food. This winter, the people will not be hungry."

Hong Chengchou clapped his hands: "Luoyang has been cleaned up, and it's time for us to welcome the emperor."

So, in November of the 21st year of Chongzhen, on a bright sunny day, the new Ming Emperor arrived in the new capital Luoyang.

The history of Xinming has opened a new page.
