"The waters of the great river have not yet receded, and the Central Plains has become a country..."
Xu You, a member of the Siyue clan, was reporting the situation of the flood to Emperor Fangxun. When he heard that the water barrier method had failed, Chong Bo Gun's embankment collapsed, and the powerful "Yu" disaster affected the endless land on both sides of the bank.
, Fangxun’s face is ugly.
It didn’t stop it, but it has indeed been effective over the past nine years.
On the contrary, this time, although Gonggong collapsed other people's mountains, they succeeded in releasing a large torrent. Otherwise, the floods would have been even more severe. They relied on the waterway of Nanjishui to send away part of the river water, without any loss.
Doubtful, Gonggong got the credit this time.
"This will be difficult to handle."
Xu You said to Fang Xun: "Emperor, Emperor Hong wants to see you."
Di Fangxun stared at Xu You: "I understand..."
"The emperor wants to protect Chongbo?"
Xu You: "Di Hong has good relations with Gong Gong. This time he may ask you to remove Chong Bo from his position as Sikong. Gong Gong is undoubtedly meritorious this time, but Chong Bo is guilty."
"Nine years of work have been ruined in one fell swoop. Thousands of tribesmen have been killed or injured this time. As for the loss of population and cultivated land..."
Halfway through Xu You's words, Di Fangxun felt his head hurt.
The two of them are not in Taotang City now, but are barefoot and soaked in muddy water.
Yes, the floods in the Taotang land are very serious. Although the terrain is higher, the harm is still great, so even the Emperor of Heaven has to come to fight the floods.
But now, in the land of Taotang, all the big shots living here have rushed to all directions, leaving only a few big shots such as Xu You and Fang Xun, and of course, the Di Hong family who "pretends to be a ghost" every day.
"The canal made by Danzhu has achieved great success. The emperor's son went to the south for a year and a half, and the skills he acquired can benefit all people."
Xu You said this to Emperor Fangxun, and this was obviously a good thing, but Fangxun felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.
With the help of this idiot A Hong, I actually made these great tricks for him.
Could it be that my previous thinking was wrong? I originally thought that the production of tools such as woodworking would be over at this level. Unexpectedly...
"...It's truly an amazing creation...ah?"
As Xu You spoke, his eyes kept wandering around the emperor's face, as if he was watching a good show.
"Okay, okay, he has made great achievements, but (I) am old and not knowledgeable enough, so I made a joke."
"Let's talk about Dihong..."
Di Fangxun wisely changed the topic.
As for Ah Hong, she is still fighting against the big bag.
"This old guy Dihong is really annoying. He wants the right to sacrifice every day, but I won't give it to him. On the surface he is neither noisy nor fussy, but secretly he does a lot of things. Dihong is the eldest of the ten sons of Emperor Kuang. He has black teeth and three
The next best thing..."
Di Fangxun turned his head sideways and paused for a moment.
"The old immortal, the old thief! I'm going to die, but he's still alive!"
Di Fangxun is very old. He has inherited the position of Emperor Zhi in his sixteenth year. He has ruled the world for sixty-eight years and will soon be sixty-ninth. Time has made him extremely old, but this guy Di Hong has lived a long time.
Longer than him.
It's so stubborn...
And Xu You muttered, the two of you guys combined are worth more than 200, and together they can go to see Shaohao and Huangdi. The old man scolded the old man, this is really...
"Uncle Chong borrowed the five-color soil that Emperor Kuang had mixed with from Emperor Hong, but even if there was soil, it could not stop the flood, and there is one more thing..."
Xu Youdao: "Chongbo conquered the cultivated land."
Fangxun's head lowered.
"It is plowed soil, the soil of life, on both sides of the river. Now even the tribes that are not affected by the disaster have no cultivated soil."
"This year's food supply, I'm afraid...many people will starve to death."
The food output in this era was very problematic, and it was the late stage of tribalism, and the alliance type of public world, and the central government did not have much food to say to provide disaster relief. After all, it did not get much food here.
"The soil was also used... Ji Qi, didn't he say that he was experimenting with new food growing methods..."
Ji Qi was Hou Ji. In the later period of Emperor Yao, he was asked to be an agriculturist and manage grain planting. It was he who proposed the earliest "grain reserve plan", but it was proposed during the reign of Yu the Great.
His mother, Jiang Xuan, went out one day and stepped on the footprints of a giant. She became pregnant just like Hua Xu. But Hua Xu was different. Jiang Xuan was afraid and anxious. After giving birth to Ji Qi, she planned to throw him away. Ji Qi was
After throwing it at the intersection, the cattle and sheep avoided it and threw it into the mountains and forests. Unexpectedly, there were suddenly a bunch of ancient hiking friends in the mountains and forests. So it was not easy to abandon the children in front of them, so they threw them directly into the frozen river. The result was heaven.
A big bird fell down and covered Ji Qi as an egg.
When Jiang Xuan found that he couldn't throw it away, he took it back and raised it. Because of this "throwing away garbage" thing, if Ji Qi had ever asked his mother about where he came from, then Jiang Xuan would probably answer him, you are
Picked up from the trash can...
According to the situation in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the exchanges between the descendants of various emperors, the giant footprints should have been left by the emperor of heaven.
Of course, the most concerning thing is the place where Ji Qi was buried after his death.
Dayu buried him in the "wilderness of Duguang"! Yes, it was the place where Jianmu was guarded by the god "Sunu"!
Fangxun was asking about this matter. Two years ago, Ji Qi said that he had invented a new farming method. However, after he immersed himself in researching it, Fangxun discovered that the so-called farming method was ox farming, and then told Shouqiu about selling plows.
After telling him, the farmer was autistic for several days.
When you are born at the wrong time, there is a feeling that you will be bright when you are born.
Then there were some small details of farming, the method of dividing acres. When he proposed it, he found that it was already in use, so he stayed in isolation for a few more days... This is an uninterrupted cycle...
But because of this, he began to study carefully, and it is said that he finally achieved great results (convinced).
"You are right. After Huandou, Yanlong and others came back from the south last time, it has been confirmed that the ridges and acres they brought with them were used together with plows and oxen."
"Those columbines, stone mills, and Danzhu have all been made, so this year's harvest in the Millet Valley is very good. But unfortunately, this flood will cause big problems in the next year's farming."
"After reading those things, Qi Zai achieved great results not long ago. He wrote the method of plowing ridges and acres with oxen..."
Di Fangxun said: "What is this?"
Xu You: "Abandon what you said is a farming method to prevent severe droughts and floods!"
After Di Fangxun listened carefully, he sighed with emotion: "Look, it's a good thing if someone forces him..."
Xu You: "Also, it is said that a new arable grain, bamboo, was discovered."
Jigu is the native sorghum. When Qi was looking for grains, he accidentally discovered that it looked a little similar to Jigu and was probably edible, so he planted it and gave it a try.
