Chapter 580 Digging a Ditch
"Kaqin has been to the Governor's Mansion. She wants Fang Xian to dig a canal and flood the Weizang winery." Xu Younan continued, "Fang Xian didn't agree. I'm worried that she will resort to all means to force Fang Xian to submit. What drastic means."

"Let her make trouble." Jin Yanchen said with an indifferent attitude: "This matter is optional. But if Fang Xian can be dragged into the water, and the four major families in Jiankang can fight again and have a good time, it will be a good thing a good thing."

Xu Younan glanced at Jin Yanchen calmly, still smiling.

It was obvious that Jin Yanchen was in a good mood after going out in the winery this morning.

Otherwise, Mu Dianke's way of finding trouble for nothing would inevitably make him fly into a rage.

——Mu Dian is not a good man or woman, who has always only had vajra methods, but suddenly he has the heart of a bodhisattva, so you don't need to think about who she learned from.

Xu Younan thought to himself: Chang Qianfo's stove is already hot, don't worry about it getting cold.It was rare for Jin Yanchen to be happy once, so there was no need to pour cold water on him.

Then he smiled: "Yes, Kaqin has always been thoughtful and far-sighted when doing things. Speaking of which, if she hadn't stopped you from calling you today, you would have really let you into the courtyard full of gunpowder. It's unbelievable."

Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows: "She stopped? Why?"

"It was Aximu who told her," Xu Younan pretended to be recalled, and frowned for a while, "...what's 'When the night is too late, avoid the cock crowing'."

He smiled: "Since Asimu has said so, just listen and don't work too hard. The internal injury suffered by Jinguan last time hasn't healed yet?"

The splendor in Jin Yanchen's eyes was only for a moment, and it disappeared suddenly.

His attitude relaxed a little, and he let out a "hmm".

Xu Younan is the best at observing words and expressions, and today he seems to be particularly dull, and he didn't deliberately beat him with words as usual.After a few words of advice, I skip this and talk about other things.

Both of them knew very well.Asimu is a Muslim, although he can speak a few words of Chinese, but such elegant sentences are beyond his ability.

After all, Mu Dianke was worried about Jin Yanchen's injury.She fooled Xu Younan with these nonsense, and Xu Younan pretended to believe it.Picking an appropriate time to tell Jin Yanchen to listen to it, Jin Yanchen was very happy, and he was able to listen to this, and he also settled his mind.

Simple things are complicated to do. When a smart person speaks, he has to listen in a daze.

What kind of injustice is this.Xu Younan sighed inwardly.

***
The hour just passed.

Chen Ning, who is presiding over the resettlement of the affected people, and the guard of the four city gates respectively received orders from Fang Xian, asking them to put down everything at hand and immediately go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss urgent matters.

Soldiers are very fast.

When the few people arrived, Fang Xian had already collected the distribution of Weizang winery and surrounding houses, the density of the population, the height of the terrain...the relevant information was collected comprehensively, and sorted out in detail.

Of course, a considerable part of the materials were sent by Chang Qianfo.

The acreage of Weizang winery has been measured and verified to be accurate. From the surrounding underground conditions learned from nearby residents, it can be inferred that the winery should be covered with a large amount of hard sandy gravel soil and red clay. Zhang, without the risk of collapse.

Moreover, it is not easy to dig wells to get water in this area. It is necessary to dig to a certain depth in the ground—more than three feet shallow, four or five feet deep—to find the water source.Therefore, there is no need to worry that the gunpowder will be soaked in water.

If Tan Zhou had enough financial resources, the amount of gunpowder he could bury under the fifth floor of the chateau would be considerable.

The most important point is that Tan Zhou hoarded gunpowder to deal with Jin Yanchen.

Jin Yanchen is no ordinary rivers and lakes master.Breaking into the imperial palace at night to assassinate, he was able to retreat unscathed under the siege of powerful experts.No matter in terms of speed, strength, or sensitive response, he is among the best in the world.

If Tan Zhou wanted to keep Jin Yanchen in this killing formation, he could imagine that once the gunpowder detonated, the scope of the impact would never be small.

After intense discussions, Fang Xian finally made the decision and finalized the plan: relocate people first, then divert water.

In order to prevent things from being delayed for too long, the canal was dug and the resettlement was carried out at the same time.

One canal is diverted from Tushui in the south and Kongzi River in the west to Weizang Winery on Huize Street.A steep gate was built to block the water one mile away from the winery, and the gates were opened to flood after the surrounding residents were removed.

In addition, stone weirs were built in the east, south and north directions to stop the water, so as not to cause disasters.Taking advantage of the terrain to guide the vortex flow, the water of the canal is led westward to the wide open lake.

Only in this way, the manpower consumed is quite huge.

This is not counting the cost of a series of complicated affairs such as dredging and lowering the water level of the lake, relocating and relocating surrounding residents.

But Fang Xian has made up his mind and his attitude is extremely firm, Chen Ning and other subordinates dare not speak out against it.

What's more, with such a large amount of strong gunpowder stored in the city, it's like a knife hanging above the head, which may be activated at any time, and a move is a major event that will kill people.No one dared to be sloppy in this matter, so they did everything with all their heart.

The officials in charge of water conservancy in various counties were quickly summoned, including the river workers, fishermen, and tide catchers who lived on the riverside with good water quality. its details.

Fang Xian transferred 5000 out of 4000 soldiers from the Huxiao Camp Jingqi and Yongding Camp that he brought into Chuzhou, leaving less than 1000 guarding the four gates.

Four thousand soldiers were all disarmed, and Haohao went to Tushui and Kongzihe to stand by.

On the other hand, Chen Ning came forward to recruit migrant workers to assist the soldiers of Chuzhou Prefecture, imitating Li Bing's method of "blocking the river" when he built the Dujiangyan. Bamboo baskets were filled with stones to encircle three dikes.

As for how to persuade the surrounding people to relocate in a short period of time, it is a big problem.

Considering Su Hongyu's high prestige among the people of Chuzhou, Fang Xian decided to make an exception and let Su Hongyu stand as an imperial envoy while awaiting trial to handle this matter.

As a result, Su Hongyu's car had just set off when news of an outbreak of plague came from Paoma Street and Huize Street.

Immediately afterwards, rumors were flying all over the sky, saying that Hu Zhu of the Shou'an Medicine Hall was instructed by Tan Lang to put plague poison into the medicinal pot of Huairen Hall. The poison was not extracted from his own medicine hall, but borrowed Tan's yard.

A total of two bottles of poison were refined.Hu Zhu used up one bottle, and the remaining bottle was in Tan Lang's hands, and it was placed in his family's gold and silver vault.

In the end, a goddamn thief came. Seeing that the Tan family was in disaster, he went into Tan's house at night to steal. He dug out the plague, saw it was a useless thing, and threw it into the well.

The underground water veins are connected, poisoning a well, and all the wells in this area have become poisoned wells.Water stained with pestilence, people drank it and died, and it was used to water flowers, and the flowers withered. When the sun came out, it evaporated into the air, and if it was inhaled, it would catch the disease.

Within half an hour, the people on the two entire streets fled.

Fang Xian was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

The world is not without coincidences, there is really no such a coincidence.As soon as he fell asleep, the pillow was handed over.

With such insidious methods, it must not have been done by Huairentang, it must have been done by Mu Dian.

Fang Xian was angry and funny.

But in any case, Mu Dian's move was much more effective than the stupid method he thought of trying to persuade people to move out from house to house.The surrounding residents were quickly emptied, which saved the need to build a steep gate between the two canals. Mu Dian could be regarded as a great favor to him.

The two river fortifications were carried out in full swing, Fang Xian was on the embankment, leaning on his horse to write a letter to Rong Yi.

"...Thirty years in Ayi's care, I don't know the hardships and dangers of the world, earning a name card in vain, not benefiting my family, I am deeply ashamed.

……

The sage said: A gentleman has three joys, but the king of the world does not live with him.Both parents exist, and brothers have no reason, and they are happy.Look up to the sky, and bow down to others, and the two are happy... There is no double good in everything, and no one has perfect virtue.It is obvious that he wants to practice the words of the sage with his own body, and do things that are worthy of the heaven and the earth.

……

The sage also said: You can't be a person if you don't have close friends; you can't be a son if you don't obey relatives.Thinking of short-term actions to endanger relatives, this is manifested as the son of man's unfilial and fraternal... There is no way to redeem it.The two elders entrusted each other with deep hope and forgiveness.

Xian Dun bowed his head. "
