Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1185 A better solution

The wind blew through the jungle, making a rustling sound.

Scattered cold rain was floating randomly, and the sky was so hazy that it seemed like it would collapse at any time.

Meng Ziang, who was in the carriage, said loudly: "How can you kill a pig with a butcher's knife? There is a comprehensive and compromise strategy in everything. If our entire team is spent searching for the source of the flood, if there is an emergency, I'm afraid It’s hard to resist.”

"Gaoyang County is located in the north of the Yangtze River, within the hinterland, and the Lingjiang River runs through it. Heading straight to Gaoyang, not only can you find the areas with the most serious floods as quickly as possible, but also when His Highness the Ninth Prince and the General come to the areas with the most serious disasters, they will Bring hope to the people.”

Having said this, Meng Ziang paused: "At the same time, it can also deter the forces that have already gone into chaos or are about to break out."

Bai Mingwei heard the words and did not raise any questions: "Everything is based on Mr.'s suggestion."

At this time, it was Meng Ziang who raised the question: "We had already agreed to go to several areas marked on the map to find out. Now we suddenly changed our route and crossed the first few areas and went straight to the hinterland. Doesn't the general have any Opinion?"

Bai Mingwei was very candid: "Leave professional matters to professional people. I believe in Mr. Meng's judgment. Mr. Meng just said that it is appropriate to go to Gaoyang, so we will go to Gaoyang."

Meng Ziang was stunned for a moment by Bai Mingwei's unconditional trust.

He suddenly remembered that Qin Huan once mentioned in front of him how much His Highness the Crown Prince valued his talents.

At that time, he was proud and complacent, and his heart was already filled with vanity, but he never realized that the prince, whom he regarded as a bole, never affirmed any of his views.

What he thought was a gift of acquaintance was a joke from beginning to end.

So in the end, his family was broken up and his wife and children were separated.

When his heart was about to die, God told him to meet the general.

These words revived his dead heart, but the so-called obedience, in addition to his own purpose, was also for the sake of his former friend Bai Jun.

The general didn't talk much, but in every conversation, he felt truly valued and respected.

Gradually, he found that his tightly wrapped heart had a small opening.

It was impossible for him to establish trust with anyone. After feeling trusted by others, he unknowingly slowly surrendered.

Realizing this, Meng Ziang shook his head helplessly: "General, Meng is really going to lose to you."

Bai Mingwei just smiled when he heard the words.

Without saying another word, she rode up to Liu Yao's carriage and spoke in a low voice: "Your Highness, Mr. Meng suggests taking a different route."

Liu Yao's response soon came from the carriage: "General, you can decide."

Bai Mingwei took the lead and came to the front of the team. She shook the reins, and the horse turned around and stepped onto another path at the fork in the road.

Even if Meng Ziang didn't suggest it, she still had this intention.

Just because bandits suddenly appeared in Jiangbei and stirred up the situation, if they continued to move forward according to their original plan, it would take a lot of time to go through every marked point.

The situation is urgent and they don't have much time to act according to the original plan.

Since Mr. Meng suggested changing the route, it naturally played into her mind.

What's more, she does trust Meng Ziang.

The team set off on a side road, but no one among the accompanying officials noticed it.

When the team stopped at a flat grassland to rest in the evening, someone finally asked Yu Jianling: "Your Majesty, don't you think something is wrong?"

Yu Jianling gnawed on the pancake in his hand and replied slowly: "What's wrong? I didn't notice it."

The official said in confusion: "The reason why Yuanshui County is called 'Yuan' is closely related to its low and flat terrain and the many rivers and ponds in its territory."

"But since we walked out of the forest, the terrain has become higher and higher, with more hills and fewer lakes. This is completely opposite to the characteristics of Yuanshui County."

Yu Jianling answered nonchalantly: "I'll ask later."

When several officials saw this, they dispersed.

After experiencing the bandit incident, Liu Yao seemed to have very few words.

He held the guard and baked the cake, but did not eat it for a long time. The image of the hungry child holding his fingers and licking them is still vivid in my mind.

Finally, he sighed and prepared to wrap the cake in a handkerchief and save it for later.

Bai Mingwei sat next to him, bit into the cake and said quietly: "Your Highness, you need to replenish your strength."

Liu Yao shook his head: "I have no appetite."

Bai Ming said slightly: "If you want the people to be fed and clothed, Your Highness, you need to be fed and clothed first; if you want the people to be healthy and live a long life, Your Highness, you must also be healthy and live a long life."

After saying that, Bai Mingwei stood up and left.

Liu Yao looked at the cake in his hand. After a while, he opened the silk and stuffed the cake into his mouth.

He tasted nothing, but he ate very seriously.

At this time, Yu Jianling came over and spoke to Bai Mingwei in a low voice: "General, those people are already suspicious. I'm afraid it won't be long before they discover the fact that the team has changed its route."

Bai Ming said slightly: "Just discover it if you find it. I didn't expect to keep it a secret forever, but I asked His Highness the Crown Prince to help me pay attention. If there is anything strange, come and report it to me."

Yu Jianling nodded: "I understand."

After talking to Yu Jianling, Bai Mingwei went to find Meng Ziang.

At this time, Meng Ziang was squatting by the stream.

One hand is holding a piece of cake and eating, and the other hand is building a dam with pebbles.

The stream was blocked for an instant, forming a small pool.

The pool water reflects the firelight and the bright moon, sparkling and shining.

Seeing Bai Mingwei coming over, he said, "General, please bring some sand over here."

Bai Mingwei stuffed the cake into his mouth and bent down to hold the fine sand washed out by the stream.

Meng Ziang pointed to the small pool of water: "Throw it in until I call stop."

Bai Mingwei did as he was told and threw handfuls of fine sand into the small pool.

After repeating this dozens of times, Meng Ziang nodded: "Stop."

Bai Mingwei stopped as he was told, and then waved to the guard, who handed him the torch.

She stuck the torch by the stream and half-crouched beside Meng Ziang, who was deep in thought.

After a long time, Meng Ziang finally spoke: "General, do you still remember that Gaoyang County has the largest dam in the north of the Yangtze River?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Yes, Lingjiang Weir."

Meng Ziang asked again: "General, do you still remember that I mentioned before that the flood can only be released slowly if the river continues to flow in its original channel?"

Bai Mingwei nodded again: "Yes, remember."

Meng Ziang said: "In recent days, I have been thinking about a better solution in Chapter 1185."

After a pause, he slowly explained: "The purpose of letting the river flow in the original river channel will not change, but the heavy rains for dozens of days, the accumulated flash floods and the sedimentation of sediment have made the original river channel overwhelmed."

"The ones that have suffered the most are these artificial barrier lakes. Judging from the news given to Meng by the general, there are still more than a dozen dams that have not burst, which shows that these dams are quite strong."

"But if the floods continue to be released, it will be a matter of time before some dams break. Even if the rain stops, it will cause serious flooding downstream of the dams."

After a pause, Meng Ziang continued:

“However, misfortunes often come with blessings, and the above situation is the result that would have occurred without any human intervention.”

"If we seize the opportunity and intervene appropriately, we can use these dozens of weirs to desilt the downstream."

When Bai Mingwei heard this, he was a little puzzled: "Mr. Meng wants to use these dozens of weirs and dams to help desilt?"
