The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 561 Dragon King Temple

The Dragon King Temple was first built in March of the 20th year of Da Nanfeng. The founding emperor Nan Guo Wushuang ordered people to build a Dragon King Temple on the Tianshui River and the Shu River.

Naturally, what is enshrined in the Dragon King Temple is not the Dragon King, but Uncle Wu, the great hero who managed the Tianshui River and the Shu River bursting embankments in the ancient Shu period.

In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan, the second emperor of Shu, in June, the Tianshui River and the Shu River broke their embankments, and the flood was out of control. In just one night, half of Suzhou and the entire Yunzhou were submerged.

None of the people living in Yunzhou survived. Only Suzhou was submerged for most of it, and the Jiangnan area behind it was not affected.

In the same year, there was a severe drought in the northwest region, and the three states of Mozhou, Jingzhou, and Yongzhou had been in drought for three consecutive years!

The farmers in these three continents have had no harvest in the past few years, and their food reserves have already been eaten up. In the end, even the bark of the Shumai Daling was eaten by the people, but most of them still starved to death.

At that time, a typhoon raged in the eastern coastal area, the houses were destroyed by the strong wind, and the rice in the fields withered and reduced production.

In the past few years, the people in Dashu were living in dire straits, almost to the point where everyone had to change their sons for food. Dashu was starving and dying everywhere, but Shu Emperor II was greedy for pleasure, and because he couldn't eat lychees, he killed many palace officials to vent his anger.

Even disregarding foreign disasters!To put it bluntly: natural disasters are natural events, and cannot be changed by humans.

Until the voices in the court became more and more, the Emperor of Shu took the trouble, and ordered Gu Sanwan, a scholar-bureaucrat at that time, to mobilize the grain storage of the whole country to rescue the victims.

But helplessly, Dashu was too affected by the disaster, and there were too many victims, and the national stockpile of grain was just a drop in the bucket at that time.

In the end, the military rations of Dashu could only be halved, and all of them were transported to the disaster area one by one!

At the same time, Wu Guojiu was also ordered to lead the Dashu Navy to Suzhou, Yunzhou and Jiangnan to control the floods.

The generals of the navy disarmed themselves, turned soldiers into workers, and began to overhaul water conservancy. Finally, most of the armor and weapons were melted, and twelve pairs of iron oxen with tons of [-] tons were cast.

And it is rumored that Uncle Wu is the incarnation of a water dragon, because the sailors he leads have supernatural skills. As sailors, they can't travel by water or by land. It only takes one night to lead [-] sailors to Suzhou. Control floods.

According to unofficial records, Nan Guo Wushuang was able to lead the navy to regain Yunzhou and Suzhou, because the tens of thousands of naval troops led by Uncle Wu at that time fell to Suzhou overnight, directly killing the enemy generals.

After the founding of Danan, Uncle Wu Guo disappeared. As the founding emperor of Nanguo Wushuang, he searched for more than [-] years without any results, so he built Dragon King Temples on the Shu River and Tianshui River.

There are people in later generations who say: Uncle Wu is also a water dragon, who was born because of the difficulty of the Dashu River, and returned to Tianshui as a dragon after the difficulty of the Pingshui.

The reason why Wu Guojiu returned to Tianshui River is also because Wu Guojiu's family was originally a family in the south of the Yangtze River near Tianshui River, and his family was rich enough to reach half of Sichuan.

For so many years, the Tie Niu that Wu Guoshu sank has never died, and only those who live near Shen Tie Niu have passed it down.

According to historical records, the water level of the Tianshui River has dropped in successive dynasties, and now, the appearance of the iron ox that sank in the Great Shu Dynasty represents that the water level of the Tianshui River has dropped a lot.

There are rumors that when all twelve pairs of iron oxen are present, it is the time of death.

When Lin Jiaojiao heard this, she understood, but she was not an expert in water conservancy matters, and she was not in charge of this matter.

Since there has been a decline in all dynasties, I am afraid that this problem will not be easy to solve.

"Where can someone fall from the sky?" Chen Qian said that she didn't believe it.
