Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 346 Fighting for the Initiative ([-])

"My lord, the method of repairing the embankment is of course useful, but given the situation in Lushan County, where does your lord plan to dig enough rocks and soil materials, and how much manpower and silver are needed here?

Furthermore, with the current rain in Yuzhong, the time it takes to dig stones, can you wait? "

Can't wait!
The original stone yard near Lushan County had been shut down two years ago, even at this time when people were taken to search for second-hand goods, they could not come up with many usable stone materials.

In addition, the soil in the mountains near Yuzhong is hard, and re-exploitation requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and time.

However, these three things are not available in Lushan County today.

But if you don't mine rocks, you have to go outside to buy and transport them.Whether it is going to Yunnan or to other neighboring state capitals, it takes more than a month to travel back and forth.

Far water can't quench near thirst, and far stone can't save near trouble.

What's more, the most terrible thing is that there is no money!

Even if Liu Shouzheng emptied his family, he still couldn't come up with such a large sum of money to make up for it.

In this way, although the method of unblocking is not necessarily the best method, it is also the only way to solve the predicament of Lushan County at present.

"My lord, if Yuzhong is already caught in a mountain torrent, Xiao Ke will not mention the method of dredging, because the time is not waiting for me, and it will be useless to mention it again.

However, although the rain in Yuzhong is not abating at this time, the water level of the rivers outside Lushan County is rising, but it is not really a waterlogging situation. " Gu Qi added.

Liu Shouzheng frowned: "But according to the current rain, I'm afraid it won't take long."

"It's true that it won't take long, it can be more than a month, and it can be as short as seven or eight days, and the situation of waterlogging will become uncontrollable."

Gu Qi answered what Liu Shou was about to say, but didn't say anything.

Seeing Liu Shou's serious expression on his face, he had already calmed down to listen, and said, "My lord, seven or eight days is not too short.

If handled properly, it is enough to reduce the water level of several main rivers near Lushan County by at least one-third.

At that time, even the waterlogging situation in Yuzhong has reached an unsolvable situation.

The lower water level of the main river outside the city can still alleviate most of the impact of flooding.

At the same time, prepare for more time for Lushan County.

If you are lucky enough, you may be able to last until your lord reports to the imperial court, and the imperial court distributes funds for flood control, river construction and disaster relief food.

At that time, my lord will have enough money and food for disaster relief, so why worry about not finding someone to repair the river channels inside and outside Lushan County? "

Liu Shouzheng's eyes were slightly red, and his left hand with the hammer on the side was only clenched into a fist: "Chaotian may not be willing to distribute disaster relief funds to Yuzhou again."

In the first year of drought in Yuzhou Prefecture, the imperial court sent a governor to inspect it, and distributed relief food to the people of Yuzhou the next month.

However, the relief food was distributed one after another, but Yuzhou Prefecture never had a single drop of rain.

Even if the Tian Family is sympathetic to the people of Yuzhou Prefecture, it can't hold back the treasury's large amount of money and grain.

A year later, the government's relief food was cut off one after another, and after the papers about the disaster in Yuzhou were delivered to Beijing, there was no news.

Yuzhou Mansion has completely become a boundary that court officials don't want to mention and don't want to mention.

Aware of Liu Shouzheng's concerns, Gu Qi smiled lightly: "My lord, one moment and another moment.

The drought is beyond the reach of human beings. Even if the imperial court intends to relieve the suffering of Yuzhou, it is useless if God refuses to rain.

But floods are different.

When the floods will eventually come to an end, counting the ancient and modern times, the longest floods recorded in the past dynasties are only a few months.

Once the heavy rain stops and the flood is alleviated, Yuzhou Prefecture will be the granary of Dakang again. Why doesn't the court save it? "

Yes, floods are different from droughts.The drought was not destructive at the beginning, but it lasted forever enough to wipe out the vitality of the whole place, which is incomprehensible to human beings.

Floods are rapid and destructive. Mountain torrents pour, rivers collapse, and flood thousands of miles. It is a disaster for cities, fields, and people.

However, the past dynasties have recorded many ways to control floods and floods. If they are dealt with properly, it is not completely unsolvable.

Furthermore, even if it is really a land of no solution, as long as he can relocate the farmers on both sides of the river system and keep most of the people in Lushan County before the flood is out of control;

After this hurdle, when the heavy rain stops and the flood recedes, it will be the day when Yuzhong Fujitai will come.

It was also the time when Liu Shouzheng's official fortune was proficient.

"What my nephew said is very true. Yuzhou Prefecture has always been known as the granary of the Central Plains. It happened to be a disaster, and I think it has long been concerned by the court officials.

The government loves the people like children, as long as we hold on for more than a month, we will definitely be able to wait for the disaster relief food from the court. "

"My lord, there are funds for river control." Gu Qi reminded with a chuckle.

Liu Shouzheng's eyes lit up. The imperial government's funds for river control are different from funds for disaster relief. As long as he reports the flood in Yuzhong to the Ministry of Industry, according to the law of Dakang, no matter whether the subsequent disaster relief funds will be allocated smoothly, the previous governance However, the funds for the river will definitely be allocated.

The Ministry of Industry does not dare to intercept water conservancy matters, and there is no need to intercept them.

After figuring out the joint here, Liu Shouzheng dissipated most of the gloom that had been pent up in his heart for the past few days, and he looked at Gu Qi with a little more kindness towards his own people.

"Since my nephew ordered the peasants in the village to repair and dig canals a few days ago, I think he is quite proficient in this matter. I wonder what my nephew thinks about the dredging of other rivers outside Lushan County?"

"Your Excellency thinks highly of Xiao Ke, but Xiao Ke is just a businessman, and it's about people's livelihood and water conservancy, so I can't talk about opinions.

If the adults are willing, Xiao Ke has a method here to help the adults solve the flood problem of the underground river ten miles north of Lushan County. "

Xiahe Village, where Xiahetang is located, is located ten miles north of Lushan County, almost adjacent to the city of Lushan County. It is the village with the largest population of residents except the main city within the jurisdiction of Lushan County.

Most of the people in the village are related to the people in the county. In addition, if you check the deeds of many farms near Xiahetang Village, most of them are owned by the people in the main city.

If Xiahetang is the first to have an accident, the main city of Lushan County will inevitably be in chaos.

Now that this kid is willing to relieve the worry of the flood in the lower river pond first, it is already a great deed for the main city of Lushan County.

As for other river courses, it is not a bad idea to wait for seven or eight days and then slowly map them.

Thinking of Liu Shouzheng, he nodded: "Tell me first."

"My lord, although the Hetang in Xiahetang occupies a large area, it is low-lying, and it is connected to Shanghetang Village to the west; if there is heavy rain for another seven or eight days, the water in the upper Hetang will rush down, and the lower The pond mouth in the east of the river pond is bound to collapse.

At that time, Xiahetang Village will be instantly submerged into a swamp of water.

However, there is a mountain stream to the northeast of Xiahetang Village in Xiaokeguan, and along the direction of the mountain stream is Wangjia Village, which is lower than Xiahetang Village."
