At the junction of Xinzi and Guanyun, the Zi River rolls down, carrying with it broken ice, constantly eroding the land along the coast.

And in this turbulent river, a group of migrant workers originally recruited to build the canal are trying to build dams to stop the spread of the water.However, I don't know if it's because they didn't have enough to eat or they were distracted. Those palace people seemed to be a little bit out of work, and the embankment project was obviously not going well.

Mu Junze looked at Gong Zipei who was walking towards the migrant workers quickly and said loudly: "At this rate, how long will it take to build the embankment?"

Gong Zipei stopped and did not look back. He just sneered: "As long as we start, there will be a good day. If there is a bad day, I will soak in the water for a day."

"The flood can't be stopped. Can you save so many people?" Mu Junze took a few steps forward and came to Gong Zipei's side.

Feeling Mu Junze's strong aura, Gong Zipei subconsciously took two steps forward, distanced himself from him, and sneered: "How can I save him alone? The court finally sent someone here. I thought... the people here can only wait to fend for themselves!"

Mu Junze strode to the front of Gong Zipei, looked at the weak migrant workers building the embankment, and said: "You can only work when you are full. The food will be distributed tomorrow. You can send some people to get it back. All the migrant workers who participated in the construction of the embankment are working every day." Migrant workers who complete their tasks can receive two copies."

Gong Zipei couldn't help being startled, King Yan actually brought food, which is a real benefit, and the enthusiasm of these migrant workers can be immediately aroused!Before he could say anything, Mu Junze turned around and said, "This dam will definitely be repaired, but how and where to repair it will probably have to be carefully discussed. Go and invite Magistrate Gong, my king." Waiting for you in the tent."

After Mu Junze finished speaking, he went to the tent. Gong Zipei looked at his back, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly hidden.He immediately went to the stable to get the horse and ran quickly to the county government office.

Gong Deyao arrived at the scene in about a stick of incense. He came on horseback, and before he had time to take a breath, he came to Mu Junze's tent panting to plead guilty: "His Royal Highness King Yan is here in person. Welcome, you deserve death!"

"Mr. Gong, get up and speak." Mu Junze sat on the main seat and ordered people to move seats for everyone present: "I have heard about Ming Gong's generous donation to the disaster-stricken county. Today, Seeing that Mr. Ling is also on the front line of disaster relief and doing his best to rescue, if you are all guilty, then there will be no innocent person in the world!"

This remark was of great benefit to both Gong Deyao and Gong Zipei. Gong Deyao was extremely humble, Gong Zipei was not as resistant as before, and Xuan Chengzhi cooperated even more tacitly, which naturally led to the current topic of flood fighting and disaster relief. topic.

"What are Magistrate Gong's thoughts on the current flood disaster and its prevention and control?" Mu Junze asked very sincerely.

Gong Deyao thought for a while and replied: "Your Highness, I have been working in Guanyun all year round and have never experienced floods in winter. However, I think the management of floods in winter and summer has the same principle. It is nothing more than dredging." There are two methods: blockage.”

"How to remove and block it specifically?" Mu Junze listened carefully.

"Drainage is to divert water, and digging canals is also one of the methods. We can open a tributary next to the Zi River to divert water into the canal to relieve the pressure downstream. But now the canal has just begun to be built, and it does not have the ability to divert water and store water. The capacity of water, so now we can only block it, that is, build dams to block the flood." Gong Deyao explained in detail. "Well, you are right. It's just that this dam cannot be built like this. Come and see..." Mu Junze stood up as he spoke, took out a brush from the pen holder, and started drawing on the rice paper on the table.

Gong Deyao approached cautiously, and with the sound of the brush in Mu Junze's hand, a very concise and clear picture of the river embankment appeared on the paper.Gong Deyao was actually an expert. He understood it at a glance and couldn't help being surprised.

He couldn't help but look up at Mu Junze, then lowered his head again, looked at the picture seriously, and then asked carefully: "Your Highness, the meaning of this picture is to build multiple dams to form a reservoir. pool?"

"Mr. Gong is really powerful! One point is all it takes!" Mu Junze was surprised that Gong Deyao understood it all at once, and couldn't help but look at it more differently: "Come here and see if it's feasible to do this in the nearby river section?"

Gong Deyao bowed and walked to Mu Junze's side. Xuan Chengzhi and Gong Zipei couldn't help but get closer to look at the drawing paper. They saw that King Yan had marked many dams on the upper reaches of the Zi River, which flows from north to south. Through clever combination, these dams actually formed a large reservoir on the side, and some of them directed water into the canals being excavated, turning the canals into Zishui drainage channels.Gong Deyao, who is proficient in water conservancy, was greatly impressed by the exquisite conception.

"Simple blocking or dredging may not be able to cope with serious floods or emergencies. We can build dams on the upper reaches of the Zi River, but we cannot just block it, because the water cannot be blocked, and the Zi River is winding. We can put these The dykes are circled to form a huge reservoir, which can store water during floods and release water during droughts, which is a great benefit to the agricultural development on both sides of the river."

Mu Junze pointed at the picture while explaining. He looked up and saw that everyone was looking at it seriously, so he continued: "In addition, as Magistrate Gong said, we also have to make good use of the canal being dug next to it. It can be turned into A temporary drainage channel, so that after the flow is diverted, there is less pressure downstream."

The few people present were all smart people and understood it immediately, but Gong Zipei frowned and said: "This is indeed good, but such a dam project cannot be completed in three or two days or even three or two months. Now the people are suffering from floods, and there are few people to dig canals and build embankments, so the problem will not be solved for a while!"

Gong Deyao glanced at his son, indicating that he was speaking too directly, but Gong Zipei seemed not to notice and did not feel any discomfort.

Mu Junze had some appreciation in his eyes: "You are right. This is the issue we need to discuss next. How can we quickly rescue and resettle the victims? Moreover, there is a more serious problem at the moment, that is, the Someone is found to be infected with the disease!"

"What? Epidemic?" Gong Deyao screamed in shock, unable to care about the etiquette between monarchs and ministers.

Before Mu Junze had time to explain, soldiers from Xuan Chengzhi came to report outside the door: "His Royal Highness King Yan, General Xuan, it's too bad, just now three migrant workers and soldiers who built embankments fell down one after another!"

The four of them looked at each other, and Mu Junze took the lead to walk out of the tent. Not far away, a group of people gathered together, and soon they saw three young men being carried forward.
