Chapter 1,726 There is an extra hole in the underwater dam
The middle-aged man thought carefully: "This... was many years ago, ten years... no, I didn't have a wife at that time, only fifteen or sixteen years ago."
The skinny old man exhaled the smoke from his mouth. In the curls of white smoke, his face with ridges and grooves looked even more vicissitudes of life: "Nineteen years."
"It's been so long? Then it's normal for the dam to be washed away by water. What's wrong?"
The skinny old man snorted coldly: "Why don't you think about why this dike can last for nineteen years?"
"Why?" The middle-aged man scratched his head, very puzzled.
"Because the people who built the dams were well versed in water conservancy. They not only built the dams firmly, but also dug nearby ditches and opened up Jinghu Lake. Even if the water level of the Yellow River rises, the water can be released in time."
"When you say that, I have an impression. I even went to dig Jinghu Lake! Lao Huang, I remember that the person you are talking about is a high official, right?"
"He is a high official, King Yan!"
Feng Danyuan was a little surprised when he heard this, but it was reasonable: King Yan's construction ability was the best in the world, no wonder the flood control measures here were so meticulous.
At this time, the middle-aged man said: "King Yan, isn't that the father of King Chen?"
"Yes, it is fate that sons inherit their father's legacy. Nineteen years ago, King Yan built the Yellow River dam in Cai County; nineteen years later, King Yan's son saved our Cai County." The skinny old man sighed.
"Let me tell you, you, a veteran who hangs around in the county government, took the initiative to build the dam this time. You thought it was the sun rising in the west. It turns out you are doing it for the sake of King Yan and King Chen!"
"What you said, how could I, a common man, dare to think so? If it were our county magistrate, do you think he could have cured the flood even if he didn't escape? In addition to giving away our lives in vain, even if we were lucky enough to survive, we would still be determined.
I've been scapegoated, what's the point?" The skinny old man took a puff of cigarette and said, "The old man is just seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages."
"You are just a tough talker. If you really want to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, why do you stay in the county government? Is it just for the money? Your son's business is not small. You can live a good life with him a long time ago. Don't you
Let’s go, you still can’t let it go. Our Cai County has produced a good county magistrate. When that magistrate was there, you were also a good person in the county government..."
Seeing that the two had changed the original topic, Feng Danyuan simply walked over.
When they saw each other, they quickly saluted.
"There is no need to be polite." Feng Danyuan said calmly: "My father-in-law, I just heard you say that there is something strange about the dike being washed away. What is strange about it?"
The skinny old man thought for a while and said, "My lord, you come with the common people."
Feng Danyuan nodded and followed slowly.
The skinny old man took him to the side of the newly repaired embankment, pointed to a place and said: "The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests. The grassroots people also discovered it when they went into the water to repair it the day before yesterday. There was a hole in the underwater embankment, which was dug by someone."
Smashed open."
The middle-aged man whispered: "Old Huang, there are many holes under the water..." He also went into the water, and he also noticed the holes under the water.
The skinny old man shook his head and said: "The holes you mentioned are for flood control. When this section of the dam was built nineteen years ago, Prince Yan once explained in detail where to open the holes, how big to open them, and how to open them. Each one was
There are strict requirements. After the dam was repaired, he took the grassroots and others into the water to inspect it."
"The dams are built very firmly. Even if the surrounding ditches are blocked, they have been fine all these years. The common people have always kept in mind the words of Prince Yan. The dams must be inspected every year, not only to look at the water, but also to look at the underwater.
"
"Three days before the flood, the grassroots people happened to go into the water and everything was fine. But the day before yesterday, they discovered that there was an extra hole. It was probably that hole that destroyed the dam here."
