Domineering female general: The evildoer is too black-bellied

Chapter 11 Flood Control
The life in the mansion is the most leisure. Although I am a general of this dynasty, my status can be regarded as below one person and above ten thousand people.The reason for this: I think, on the one hand, the original owner of my body has made great contributions to this great Chu, and on the other hand, the benefits may be obtained from the glory of my emperor brother.

As a courtier, I am well aware of the duty of being a courtier. Seeing that there is no war now, of course I will go to the palace every day for a routine morning court like other ministers.

The content of today's morning court is no different from that of the past. It is nothing more than talking about: where is there another disaster, where is there another flood, where is there another epidemic, and so on.

Almost none of the matters reported in the memorials of the so-called "important ministers of the imperial court" could come up with any good solutions before they were presented, and they always had to wait until they were presented face-to-face in the court.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, today the tide of money has collapsed on the embankment, causing many disaster victims and displaced people on both sides of the bank. However, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is currently in a treasury and cannot solve the hidden dangers. What should His Majesty Qizuo do with this matter?"

The person who said this was the oldest senior in my Great Chu, the right minister who can be regarded as a veteran.

"Your Excellency, haven't you always sent a special person to transfer the money of the Ministry of Households, why is it that the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has no money to transfer at critical times?"

It was the left chancellor who asked this question, and he took a step from among the ministers in the court, holding the jade plaque, facing the right chancellor and questioning: "Your old man, you have nothing to say now."

"You!" Hearing that, the Prime Minister on the right twisted his beard in anger, hurriedly walked to the center of the court, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, what has this matter to do with a villain? It's just that the past few years The war has caused the treasury to be strained, and the drought and disasters have plagued the past few years, so the people below really have nothing to do."

Since ancient times, it is difficult to combine left and right, but I have really seen it today.

Seeing the two of them blushing like beards blowing their beards and staring at their eyes, their necks were thick, it really made the good people feel very lively after seeing it.

I looked up and saw the emperor's elder brother sitting on the golden throne, with one hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, and the other on his forehead. I ignored the two of them, as if he was lost in thought, and said, "Is there anyone in the great Chu Kingdom today? The method can solve my worries, so why not play it now."

"It seems that my elder brother is also stumped by this matter." I pondered for a while, and recalled it carefully in my mind, "I remember that this kind of thing was mentioned in the history of the university. What is it?" Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration, and I thought of what was mentioned in the history book: in the late Warring States period, Li Bing, a water conservancy expert in Qin State, governed Dujiangyan.

'There it is! ’ Holding the jade tablet, I took a step forward and said seriously: "I report to the emperor, I have thought of a method, I wonder if it will work?"

"Oh, then hurry up and listen to me." Seeing that I had a solution, my brother immediately raised his head and said to me.

"Maybe we can build two big weirs to stop the flooding," I said slowly.

"What should I do specifically?" My brother asked me curiously.

"In order to prevent floods, we can send people to weave some extra-large bamboo cages out of bamboo, and fill them with large pebbles and sink them into the bottom of the river, so as to artificially build a large vertical weir, which can play a role in diverting the flow from the upper reaches. The river is divided into two streams, the inner and the outer, and dredges down.

After the completion, the water of Qianchao River can be diverted, so that the amount of water in the outer river of the main stream will not be too large, thereby greatly reducing the probability of flooding in the flood season, and at the same time, the inner river in the east can irrigate the adjacent fields, avoiding the The occurrence of drought in nearby towns.

In order to avoid waterlogging in the Neijiang River during the flood season, we can use extra-large bamboo boxes filled with pebbles to build another large weir. It will overflow the dike and flow into the outer river.

However, when the water level of the Neijiang River is too high, the water volume is extremely large, and the water speed is too fast, the dikes will be washed away. If we let the water from the Neijiang River directly discharge to the Outer River, we can ensure the safety of the entire irrigation area of ​​the Neijiang River.

In order to control the amount of water in the Neijiang River, we can also carve a few stone figurines and place them in the Qianchao project area. If the water level is as shallow as the stone figurines' feet, it means that the water used for irrigation may be insufficient, which indicates that there will be Drought; if the water level rises to the stone man's shoulders, it means that there is too much water, which also indicates that a flood will occur.

This method can use all local materials, convenient construction, low cost, practical and efficient. "

"But this is just my minister's idea. I haven't seen it practiced yet. I don't know what you think of this method." I looked up at the emperor with a smile, and said slowly.

"General, you are so talented! I only heard that you can kill the enemy in the battlefield, but I didn't expect you to do a lot of research on the management of rivers. You can come up with such a wonderful idea, which really opened the eyes of the officials. I really admire and admire you." !" Zuo Lian uttered praises.

I saw that after listening to my words, the right minister also nodded slightly at this time to express his agreement.

"Since the two lovers agree that this method is very good, of course I am even more happy. However, 'brother', you have this ability, which really surprised my brother today!"

Hearing my brother's praise, I couldn't help but blushed, "You have a spirit in heaven for stealing your old man Li Bing's deeds. If you know, don't blame me." 'I thought so. . . . . .

"Okay, leave it to Li'er and your subordinates to handle it now." The emperor's elder brother said to me in a pleasant voice.

"The minister leads the decree." I bent down and replied seriously.
