Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1273 At this time, the more calm you need to be
The morning light was faint, falling on the magnificent river, and it was clear and clear.

Bai Mingwei rode his horse on the rugged mountain road and along the river.

I saw the river washed by the huge amount of water flow from Qingdu Weir, and the huge amount of sediment deposited was taken away. The river can therefore accommodate more water flow, and the water level slowly decreased.

The floods that spread everywhere slowly gathered in the river because of the gradually lowering of the river water level.

The land that had been ravaged by floods looked devastated.

The debris brought by the flood was scattered everywhere in a mess.

The originally neat fields and homes where the people lived are now just dilapidated ruins, with only some traces left to show the former fertility.

However, Bai Mingwei knows in his heart that every living person in this world is like a hard-working ant.

Their power is insignificant, but they can always use their small bodies to change the place where they live.

As long as they are given a chance, these strong people will live tenaciously on this land.

A devastated disaster area is like a mountain forest swept by fire. After spring passes and autumn comes, it will glow with vitality.

Thinking of this, her horse continued to rush to its destination without stopping.

……

After Liu Yao and others saw the smoke rising in the distance, they also ordered people to open the gate of the weir and dam, and at the same time lit the smoke to send a signal to another weir downstream.

This barrier lake is only one-tenth of the size of Qingdu Weir, but the movement of the flood discharge is still earth-shattering.

He had never seen such a magnificent scene, and he was also in shock.

However, while he was shocked by such a magnificent scene, the corvee seemed to be frightened and went crazy, which also made him suspicious.

He had just ordered people to evacuate the corvées who had opened the gate above the gate, and was about to ask his accompanying doctor to find out, when a confidant came to report:
"Your Highness, something happened. The dams used to divert the river have not been solved yet. I'm afraid something happened."

"If it cannot be cleaned up in time, once the huge amount of water flowing down due to the Qingdu Weir flood discharge cannot be shared by the upstream tributaries of the weir dam, the weir dam will definitely not be able to carry such a large amount of water and will definitely burst."

Their original charter was very clear.

When the Qingdu Weir upstream releases floods, it will send a signal to the downstream.

After seeing the signal, the downstream immediately released the flood, emptied the water in the barrier lake, and first took away part of the sediment accumulated in the river channel. At the same time, it was also ready to carry the water brought by the upstream.

However, the amount of water in Qingdu Weir is too large, and several tributaries upstream of the weir need to share some of the water.

However, several tributaries were artificially built with dams to block their flow during this year, and their river courses were changed.

The new tributary channels are very narrow and cannot share the water pressure at all.

Therefore, the barrier lake that Liu Yao was responsible for released floods in advance to prepare for the huge flow of water upstream. At the same time, it was necessary to destroy the dams that blocked the flow of several tributaries and allow several tributaries to return to their original river channels.

At that time, some water flow pressure can be shared upstream of the weir dam here, so that the weir dam here will not burst due to overload.

But they did not have anything with huge destructive power, so they could only artificially dig holes in the dike, imitating the process of "a dike of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest" to destroy the dike.

Liu Yao couldn't help but look solemn when he heard this: "Our flood discharge regulations have been improved after many discussions. They are very thorough and take into account all aspects. Such problems should not occur. Do you know why?"

The confidants reported back one by one: "It seems that there is something wrong with the corvees, so the progress has been slowed down." Liu Yao had no time to think about it.

Think of a solution immediately.

He asked: "Are there disaster victims gathering near several tributaries?"

A confidant immediately suggested: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it will be too late to summon the victims to join us. There are five thousand garrison troops nearby. I believe that the garrison is summoned urgently. Only with the speed and strength of the garrison can the danger be averted."

Liu Yao immediately rejected the proposal: "Garrisoning troops can help in emergencies, but it is not a good strategy. I do not have the power to mobilize the garrison. If the garrison is used for this reason, the consequences I will bear will definitely be more serious than the abnormality of the corvee. "

The confidant was worried: "At this point, flood relief is very important, and my subordinates are bold, so I still think it is safer to mobilize the garrison."

Liu Yao was calmer than his confidant: "Your idea is not unreasonable. However, all the corvees are strange, and there is obviously fraud among them. The more this time, the more calm we need. We must not seek medical treatment in a hurry."

"Immediately find a few reliable people. You will each take my king's seal to say hello to the local officials, and then in my name, summon the people to quickly go to various places for support."

The confidant did not dare to question it and did it immediately.

He thought carefully about this decision before making it.

At the same time, it also takes a lot of risks.

The victims were certainly not as reliable as the garrison, but at this moment, he did not lose his mind and used the garrison privately for insurance.

After weighing the pros and cons, he pinned his hope on the victims.

The people are not cold numbers, they are the cornerstone on which the entire country depends for its survival.

The relationship between the superiors and the common people is inherently dependent on each other.

Since these displaced victims choose to believe in him, he must also give some trust to the victims.

Then, Liu Yao found his accompanying doctor and asked straight to the point: "There is obviously something wrong with the mental state of these corvees. Have you noticed?"

The doctor nodded: "I also noticed that something is wrong, but I don't have a clue yet."

Liu Yao said: "General Zhenbei is very careful and has taken adequate precautions. In order to avoid accidents, the food and water of the corvee are strictly controlled."

"However, at this time, they all have problems at the same time. There must be a reason why they are acting strangely. However, there is no strangeness in us. Find out the difference and you can find the reason."

The doctor analyzed: "Generally, in this case, they should have taken something that can affect their mental state at the same time, but there will be no problem with food and water. This is very strange."

Liu Yao was silent for a moment, and immediately concluded: "No, there is one difference. In order to prevent epidemics, the corvees all took anti-epidemic decoctions."

The doctor suddenly realized: "I didn't expect His Highness to notice this! Indeed, the decoction we take to prevent epidemics is the same formula as the yamen's, but it is not the same batch."

Liu Yao gave a look, and the guard quickly found a medicine bag and placed it in front of the doctor: "Yi Liu, this bag is for the corvees, and this is what I have been taking."

The doctor looked at Liu Yao, saw Liu Yao nodded, and immediately checked the two packages of medicine.

He smelled and tasted it again.

Finally, he pinched one of the medicines and his expression changed drastically.
