"Put your soil in here and use your strength to compact it!"
Compared with others who piled up earth and rocks at once, Chonghua used a different method here. He first dug about three fists deep, and then dumped the earth, sand and gravel. Chonghua took the stone hammer and hammered it hard.
Hit those rocks.
Chonghua asked everyone to move, dig three fists deep, and then ram the earth and rocks into it. Chonghua even added huge logs to cross or overlap in an attempt to increase the solidity of these earth walls.
.
"I heard that in the big cities in the Yue region, this kind of wood would be added as the foundation of the city. It is called Zhenmu."
So, after several days of work, a small piece of earth foundation was built.
However, after the initial wind and rain stopped for three days, after ten days passed, the heaven and earth were covered again.
The patter of rain fell on the land of Shangqiu again.
As for Chonghua's earthen wall, it wasn't even built high. After more than ten days of tenacious construction, it was just a waist-high, short and thick wall. Other administrators built the wall.
The barriers are high, and a large amount of soil is made into walls by them. In huge molds, grass roots and sand are mixed together, and the blocks are shaped into blocks, and then they are built with mud, water or lime. This is a raw earth building and an adobe wall.
.
There were other administrators around who saw this scene and were confused. Some even shouted directly: "Yao! You have spent so many people, but you are still fighting against a small earth wall!"
The people under Chonghua's rule were also a little confused, but Chonghua said firmly: "The rammed walls built using this method are much stronger than their piles of earth and rocks. These earths are the roots of the water-proof wall.
Just like a big tree! If the roots are not strong, then what use are these walls!"
"Believe me, although the description in Kongsang's news is urgent, the water in the river has not yet surged. If we build these barriers and hammer them down, in the end, we can save our lives!"
Chonghua tried his best to persuade everyone, but other administrators did not agree with this method. Some of them even laughed at the fact that with this hard work, more water-proof walls and embankments could have been built.
But Chonghua insisted on doing this. This was a method mentioned by the old man from the south who once gave him the design of the plow in a chat with the Shouqiu business.
But Chonghua doesn’t know about this rammed earth. Apart from rammed wood and bone wall reinforcements, he also doesn’t know what specific materials are needed to make strong rammed earth, and how to deal with these materials.
The old man only said that there seemed to be shell ash, but there is no place to look for these materials now.
Therefore, Chonghua could only operate according to his existing conditions, and everything depended on groping. He kept groping according to the general outline mentioned by the old man, and when someone really didn't understand and asked him, Chonghua also
Just give a firm reply.
"I believe this is useful. This has been confirmed by a person in the south."
"This must be his method too"
The person who asked the question did not hear the next sentence of Chonghua, but the previous sentence did not give everyone enough confidence, so Chonghua said:
"How can a person stand firm without feet?"
This sentence really enlightened everyone. Among the areas that many governors were responsible for, the area here in Chonghua was the slowest in progress, but the governor who asked people from Chonghua in the beginning was the fastest.
The carts made a sound on the land of Shangqiu. People were coming and going, and it was very busy. The rain made the roads become muddy. The more it rained, the more gloomy people felt.
"Zongyue, will this child's method work?"
Zhaoming is also very worried. He is very optimistic about this child, but if there are any big problems due to too many ideas on the issue of flood control, then no matter how good Chonghua is, he will no longer be elected as a manager.
"It will be useful."
Fang Qi believed more firmly than Qi Chonghua that this was useful, because Uncle Xi would not lie to him.
Moreover, in the south last year, a lot of news brought back by Yan Long and others has already shown this. There is a tribe in the south that is good at controlling floods. This rammed earth method is one of their techniques.
"But it shouldn't be rammed like this. But now, we don't know what materials are needed for the real rammed earth method, but it must not be as simple as soil and sand."
Fang Qi regretted it now. When Uncle Xi bragged to him, he didn't listen carefully and didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until Yan Long and the others came back that Fang Qi realized that maybe he had thought wrong sometimes.
The rain started to get heavier.
"Dahe, please give me some more time!"
Fang Qi stood in the crowd, the sky and the earth were vast, the haze of the flood once again enveloped the Central Plains, where will the Huanglong's anger tear it apart this time?
In the upper reaches of the river, turbulent water pours down from the bend. The sound is as shocking as an earthquake. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. It is obviously winter, but the climate seems warm, as if we have returned to the mid-autumn season. The heavy rain is dense, and there are
Among the migrating tribe, the young children raised their heads and stared at the dim sky.
Gun had already sent people with Chong clan to where they should go, waiting in those Rencheng cities. Once there was a gap in the dike, he would immediately go to block it with Xi soil and ask for it from Di Hong's hand.
Xi soil, Gun was found using clues from the legends of ancient heavenly emperors.
This is the five-color soil passed down from the emperor's time, symbolizing the five directions of mountains and seas. This soil can merge with any earth and stone in the mountains and seas, and then it will grow spontaneously like grains.
"The sky is close to the earth."
Wen Ming looked at the dull sky. The mountains were hidden behind the water waves, and the clouds began to vibrate. This situation was a sign that the power of the water was increasing and it was about to become deified and become "promiscuous".
This itself is a disaster belonging to heaven and earth. Just like during an earthquake, the dust on the earth will rush to surge, the mountains will wail and cry, the rivers will slow down, and when a volcano erupts, the air of heaven and earth will be disturbed. As for typhoons
The tide of roaring Tian clan swept across the entire Southern Wilderness, and at least tens of thousands of people died in the river and sea. This is enough to illustrate the terrifying nature of these ancient "gods"!
Hundreds of rivers shook the mountains and valleys.
Alas, the four mountains are filled with floods and floods, and the mountains and mausoleums are vast. The people are worried. Is there anyone who can rule them?
All the ministers said Gun Ke!
Wen Ming remembered what his father often said in a low voice. When Emperor Fangxun asked who could control the flood, all the ministers recommended Gun. Only Gonggong expressed opposition. In the end, Gun
When I came back from the south, Wen Ming was still very young at that time.
Yes, what my father said, the years he spent looking at the river were much longer than the river!
"Perhaps Brother Zai's method is not needed. My father has also seen the anger of the river, and has also seen the hydrology and wind and rain in the south. The river and the river are different."
Wen Ming looked at the raging and arrogant water. The overwhelming smell of water vapor and dust could almost be tasted on his tongue. It was the bitterness of the beings who lived in this mountain and sea a long time ago!
But these arrogant currents are still flowing smoothly towards the East China Sea along the dam created by Gun!
"It can work!"
People with the Chong clan all thought it was possible. The people of the Xuan Yu clan, the people of the Fang Hu clan, and the flood control tribes looked at the river excitedly and excitedly. The angry river could not break through the defense lines on both sides. It could only dump its energy into the East China Sea.
of anger!
So, go and pour it out, there is boundless ocean for you to stir up as much as you want!
However, at this time, there was a huge tremor in the upper reaches of the river. A handsome young man appeared in the middle of the water. He came on the turbid waves, escorted by two white dragons, and arrived in the empty water, leaving the rock and waves!
"There is the Chong family! The river has collapsed and cannot be stopped again! The water has passed under the Yangyang Mountain and emerged from the cliff in the abyss of Congji in the west sky. If you are not leaving now, what are you doing!"
The young man appeared and shouted loudly. When Chong Bogun saw it, he was greatly shocked!
The young man is called Bingyi!
And just when he was about to respond, someone suddenly came to report in a hurry, but his voice was trembling! The fastest updated mobile version::
"Uncle Chong! The embankment, the embankment collapsed!"
After Chong Bogun was stunned for a moment, he shouted angrily: "This is impossible!"
"It took nine years to build the levee! Over the past nine years, the efforts to divert the water flow have been unfavorable!"
Chongbo was about to rush there, but the young man was standing on the water. The white dragon was flying in the air and rolled up in the wind and rain. The young man held the dragon's head with one hand, leaned over and said:
"You will realize later that nine years of floods have not damaged the embankment at all, but this time, it is the wrath of the West, and it is the roaring of heaven and earth!"
"The heavy snow on the high mountains melted into rivers, so the 'Sichuan Queen' could not stop it and came to me for help. I entered the Congji Abyss and saw that the water in the abyss had swollen. It was three hundred feet deep and had reached four hundred. The flat land
Rivers rise, and mountains hang as isolated islands.”
"The Western Tianshan Mountains were shaken, thousands of rivers were rising, and the floods were about to turn into '****'. Although the embankments are strong, how can they be compared with the 'slut' that holds the energy of heaven and earth!"
“This is the ‘power’ of heaven and earth!”
About ten miles away from the upstream of Chongbo Gun, the water of the big river collapsed the bottom of the embankment. The speed of the water suddenly increased, and the instantly raised water flow was like a passing dragon's claw. The powerful potential energy suddenly dug up the foundation of the river embankment.
A large piece fell off, and a huge gap was opened. The strong pressure completely shook the gap into yellow dust!
Countless carts carried earth and rocks and gathered them at the gap, but the speed of the water erosion was much higher than the strength of human feet!
At that moment, the ground shook, and the gap above completely collapsed!
The water burst open the dike and poured unstoppably into the south bank of the river!
