I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 364 Don’t dare to lose the hope of a gentleman
Preventing problems before they happen sounds right, but...at what cost?

For Zhao Rong, the price is that people need to work in the heavy rain and risk the wind and cold.

Some poor people only have one set of clothes all year round, let alone a hat and raincoat that can protect them from the rain. A heavy rain can cause symptoms that are enough to defeat a person.

What if... Zhao Rong had to consider a possibility... There seems to be no end to the rain in front of him, but what if the weather clears up before the ditch repaired at risk is put to use?

Only he can bear the responsibility for the casualties caused by wrong decisions.

Zhao Rong failed to make a decision immediately.

Although Zhao Wen hoped that Zhao Rong could make a decision immediately, he also knew the pressure Zhao Rong would bear and did not rush him.

After sending Zhao Wen away, Zhao Rong returned to the room where he had spoken to Zhao Wen before, and the map left by Zhao Wen was still there.

The ditches and tributaries on it are clearly marked, and they will eventually be able to divert water into the Wei River that crosses Youfufeng.

During his tenure, Zhao Rong organized the restoration of many ditches that were built more than 200 years ago, some of which were no different than re-excavating them. He was not completely ignorant of water conservancy and knew the feasibility of planning on the map.

He could have felt at ease and done nothing, but now that he knew this, he could no longer feel at ease.

As he was talking, Zhao Wen's stomach suddenly rang twice.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and quickly got down to business, planning on the map.

But the harsh reality dictates that the more he hesitates, the less time he has to deal with risks.

His wife and children saw his confusion, but they didn't say anything, they just pushed Zhiyang closer to Zhao Rong.

"I heard that Your Majesty has established a special medical department at Hongdu School. Now that Fufeng is in need of medical treatment and medicine, you may wish to write to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to order assistance!"

"As long as you plan properly, there won't necessarily be many injuries."

However, why do I always feel aggrieved?

He suddenly understood why he felt aggrieved - this land was his years of hard work... If this hard work was washed away by the inexplicable flood, then all the sweat and weight he had lost in the past few years would be lost. , wouldn’t it be in vain!
Zhao Rong made a decision and didn't even eat anymore. He immediately left the backyard where his family lived and came to the front office of the county government. He ordered someone to immediately tell Zhao Wen to come and meet him.

It's better to be conservative, he can continue to eat roasted mutton.

Because of this, he was extremely confused.

When it was time for dinner, Zhao Rong, who could eat three bowls of rice at a time, rarely could eat anymore. His favorite roasted mutton now tasted like chewing gum in his mouth.

After Zhao Rong welcomed Zhao Wen, he couldn't help asking: "Zirou hasn't left yet?"

"The bamboo hats and coir raincoats can be prepared in advance, and the ginger soup and hot rice can also be prepared in advance."

He can either bet that the rain will not stop, or he can bet that the rain will stop tomorrow. If it is the latter, it would be right for him to do nothing.

Zhao Rong stuffed another mouthful of steaming roasted mutton into his mouth. Even if he did nothing, even if You Fufeng was really flooded, this would be a natural disaster...when manpower is limited!

Zhao Wen knew that Zhao Rong must have the answer in his heart when he saw him at this time, and said with a smile: "My prefect will definitely see me again, so I just wait in the car outside the mansion and don't dare to trouble the prefect to wait for a long time."

The key is, how long will this rain last?

Zhao Rong smiled: "I dare not lose the hope of a gentleman!"

Zhao Rong thought about the years when he followed Huangfu Song to organize farming, and the hardships were still before him.

Not long after, the county officials came with Zhao Wen.

Zhao Rong blamed himself: "I ate half full, but I didn't consider that Zirou was still hungry. It's really my fault."

Zhao Wen said: "If you have a big plan, why think about a meal?"

Zhao Rong touched his belly and said, "If you don't have enough food, you don't have enough strength. It just so happens that I don't have enough food either... We talked while eating..." After that, he immediately asked someone to prepare the meal.

Zhao Wen also knew that his family had always been greedy, and his body shape was the best proof, so he did not refuse.

Moreover, he was really hungry.

During the continuous heavy rain, You Fufeng started an action plan to prevent floods under the leadership of Zhao Rong.

The originally expected resistance from the people to working in the rain did not appear. More people, like Xinxiang, hope to protect their hard-won homes.

Even if you are fighting against the sky this time!

……

The Wei River crosses Youfufeng, joins the Jing River on the bank of Jingzhao Yin Chang'an County, continues its journey, and joins the Yellow River in Huayin County, Hongnong County.

The epicenter of the earthquake here is Huashan, located in Huayin County.

As the most important tributary of the Yellow River, the water level of the Weishui River has skyrocketed due to continuous rainfall. During this period, although Fufeng received the most rainfall, it was not always sunny in other areas. The Yellow River was affected by this, showing its turbulent and wild side to the world. .

Just by the Yellow River in the north of Luoyang, you can clearly feel the changes in water volume.

Fortunately, Liu Bian now does not have to worry about the Yellow River floods. During the Xinman Dynasty, the Yellow River changed its course. Later, during the reign of Emperor Ming, he mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to kill them. Wang Jing and Wang Wu led the construction of canals and embankments, which took a whole year. Years spent more than 10 billion.

This management has stabilized the Yellow River for six to seven hundred years. I can only say thank you to our ancestors for their efforts.

Luoyang.

Naturally, Liu Bian fully supported Zhao Rong's decision.

He didn't know how long this rain would last, but there have been too many extreme climates in the past few decades. Not to mention anything else, in the sixth year of Zhongping alone, Luoyang had three months of rainy weather starting from June. clear up.

Be prepared.

Zhang Zhongjing, who had made further research on typhoid fever, was also recruited by Liu Bian just a few months after returning from Jiaozhou. However, Zhang Zhongjing, a doctor with a kind heart, was also happy to go to Fufeng.

Many doctors, including medical students from Hongdumen, were also arranged to go there. Their main task is to prescribe corresponding prescriptions given by Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo according to different diseases.

Large quantities of rain gear, medicinal materials, shovels and other supplies also began to be sent to Fufeng with Liu Bian's support.

These are the greatest help Liu Bian can provide.

The biggest problem faced by Fufeng must ultimately be solved by Fufeng people themselves.

……

Right Fufeng Yulu County.

"Mr. He, leave these jobs to the young people!" The speaker was a county official who was a former Imperial College student. He had heard about He Yong's reputation and admired him for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to meet him before.

He didn't change his attitude because He Yong was sent here to farm in a similar way. Now that he finally met He Yong, he was very respectful in his words.

"It's raining heavily now. Mr. He, please go and take shelter from the rain. It will be bad if you get cold..."

However, He Yong did not listen to the advice, shook off his hand, and said plausibly - "I support digging ditches and opening up rivers. How can I just let you take risks after saying this? If it spreads out like this, wouldn't it make other people uncomfortable?" Laughing like crazy?"

"Don't try to persuade me any more. If you have this time, you might as well dig two more pieces of clay."

"Okay, but if Mr. He feels unwell, he must take shelter from the rain..."
