Chapter 936

The Yellow River has never diverted its course to the south, and the Lianghuai water network has not been eroded by rolling yellow sand. It can be said that the flood control situation faced by the Lu Qi Dynasty is better than that of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties in history.

Similarly, in Lu Qichao's regular financial budget expenditures in recent years, a large amount of money has also been spent on river affairs.Regarding river governance, Lu Qian and his ministers never dared to relax in the slightest.

But even so, even in today's era, Lu Qichao has done the best in river affairs, but compared with the heavy rain day after day in the midsummer of this year, he still can't resist it.

From the rainy season until now, the Jiangnan area has been raining continuously and falling all over the sky. God is like crazy, and it keeps raining.The water levels of many important waterways such as the Yangtze River, Xiangjiang River, and Ganjiang River have soared, and there have been ten small breaches in size.The canals and the tributaries of the small rivers have changed their old appearance. The turbid river roared, roared, roared, came and rushed away, rolling up sand, branches and leaves, and human and animal corpses, impacting and slapping the river bank. From time to time, there is a frightening whirlpool.

Lu Qian is already ready to take action against Tianfang World. Although it is not a land war, it is just an offensive on the waterway - we must first establish a few solid bridgeheads in Tianfang World to deter the entire Tianfang World, instead of immediately attacking Serge. The Pillars Empire and the Fatimid Dynasty started.

The gang of Binhai Alliance is still brewing and fermenting.Although there are secret connections with the Sikpchak Khanate and the Seljuks, and some people are very active in private, it is clear that those people have not completely forgotten the power of Lu Qi's army.

Lu Qian has a very detailed document in his hand, and has divided the dozens of tribal leaders there into ranks and ranks. It is very clear who deserves to die and who is controlled by Lu Qian.In the future, after the army sweeps Tianfang, such a large territory will always have to be filled by someone, so it's just the right time for these people to go!The vacated site just happened to allow him to settle his son.

But now his biggest concern is not these things, but the disasters in the north and south of the Central Plains.Drought in the north and flood in the south, and whether there may still be hidden dangers of locust plagues after droughts, and whether there may be diseases and epidemics after floods, the energy of the entire Lu Qi Dynasty is concentrated in it.

In the middle of the night, the Jinling Imperial City was still brightly lit, and there were rows of palace guards on duty outside the Xuande Pavilion, and there were even more people crowded inside.Xuande Pavilion illuminated by a candle as thick as an arm is as bright as day.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, but Lu Qian didn't lift his head, his eyes continued to look at the memorial just presented by Suzhou, in a bad mood.

Suzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake. The terrain is flat, the water network is densely covered, and the rivers are criss-crossing. There are tens of thousands of rivers at all levels in the territory;

It can be said that this is one of the most severely flooded areas in the south of the Yangtze River. Many houses in the territory have been soaked in water for half a month or even longer. , Come to a clean brick house.Once soaked in such a flood, the adobe houses would have collapsed long ago, and no one dared to live in some brick houses.

A large number of people poured into the city. Taking Suzhou City as an example, the schools and schools in the city were already full, and even the temples and Taoist temples were also full of refugees.There is enough food in the city, clean drinking water and medicines to prevent diseases [level of this era] are also sufficient, and social order is maintained quite well, but this does not mean that the task of the magistrate is easy.

After the great disaster, there must be a great epidemic.Lu Qian is not a god, no matter how vigorously he develops medicine, no matter how buggy his security skills are, Lu Qichao's current medical practitioners and medical level are far from comparable to those in his previous life.

The dead bodies of people and animals in the floods cannot be buried in a timely manner. In addition, the weather is hot and the humidity is high in this season, so it is inevitable to cause diseases and epidemics.Compared with the hazards of corpses, the pollution of water sources is even worse.Moreover, a large number of people gather together, and domestic waste such as sewage, feces, and garbage piles up into mountains, attracting mosquitoes to ravage and spread diseases.People are prone to enteritis, dysentery, cholera and other diseases.In today's era, that is a terrible thing!
Furthermore, as a magistrate, how could he only focus on the city?In the vast rural villages outside the city, the transfer and resettlement of the affected people, the loss of population, property, houses, etc., are all calculated and labor-intensive.

What Lu Qian is looking at now is the preliminary statistical data sent by Suzhou. The loss in it is so big, it's no wonder he is happy!
"What's the matter, say it!"

Le Heying went up to whisper to the visitor, but Lu Qian couldn't hear it clearly, but it didn't mean he didn't care.

"Your Majesty, it's from Muzhou. The local area has been raining heavily for days on end. As a result, the waters of the Lanxi River and the Anjiang River in the territory soared, and the two waters rose three inches a day, and the confluence rose more than two feet a day..."

As soon as Le He finished speaking, the entire Xuande Pavilion fell silent.

Muzhou, Muzhou City is at the intersection of Lanxi and Anjiang. The combination of the two waters is the Fuchun River, and the next is the Qiantang River.

"Who is the prefect of Muzhou?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Lu Ren."

"What did he say?" Lu Qian continued to ask.This brochure was handed directly to Xuande Pavilion, and it was definitely not just about the dangerous situation in Muzhou.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the prefect of Muzhou is worried that the rain will continue to fall, endangering the safety of the river embankment there. The Shenquan Township dam on the south bank of the confluence has not been completed, and I am afraid it will not be able to bear it. So he proposed to open a breach in the upper reaches of Anjiang River , to divert water and reduce floods.”

Shenquan Town is the Shenquan prison in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and one of the copper and iron money prisons in the Zhao and Song Dynasties.After Lu Qi was established, the use of making money there was abandoned, so there was Shenquan Town.

The so-called water reduction dams are flood diversion dams.That is, overflow facilities built on the side of the river.When the flood rises, use the dam to divert the flood to make the water of the river overflow to other places, protect the downstream embankment, and prevent or reduce the danger.

"What? Breaking the flood to divert the flood, is this the idea of ​​the prefect of Muzhou?" Lu Qian's face turned dark.

Half a month ago, the water level in a section of Jingzhou was high. At that time, someone proposed to divert the flood elsewhere. Although the situation did not deteriorate to that point in the end, however, this incident made the whole southern city feel terrified. They were afraid that the flood would not continue. One day it would be like this Difficulties also fell on their heads.Ask Lu Qian to announce it to the world through the "News", and repeatedly promise that this will never happen.The imperial court will never abandon the lives and people of other places regardless of the safety of one place...

But now Lu Ren, the prefect of Muzhou, wants to do the opposite.

Lu Qian's eyes patrolled the group of people below, fixed on Cheng Wanli, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry at the time, and did not show any kindness to his cheap father-in-law, and bluntly shouted: "Cheng Wanli."

"The minister is here."

"You are the minister of the Ministry of Industry, tell me, what is the decision of the prefect of Muzhou?" Tao Zongwang and many other old people from Liangshan have gone to Tianzhu at this moment, and Lu Qian gave them a chance to make money.Cheng Wanli also successfully entered the cabinet after being transferred to the governor of many places.

"I remember that your Ministry of Industry once boasted that the water treatment in the south of the Yangtze River can withstand a hundred years of floods. Why, the embankment in the section of Muzhou can't hold it now? The local officials have already made plans to divert the water to release the flood. What do you think?"

He kept silent about what he had said in the newspaper, but wouldn't others think of it if he didn't say it?Otherwise, how could the papers of a mere prefect of Muzhou be delivered all the way to Xuande Pavilion?
What can Cheng Wanli say?He is also MMP in his heart.The water diversion dam in Muzhou was the first batch of construction projects he undertook after taking office. The reason was to ensure the safety of Muzhou, but who knew that the rain would come so urgently.How about waiting until next year?
From the side, it also highlights his 'right'.But now the emperor is facing the matter of being slapped in the face, he dares to be 'correct' and is a fart!
