Use mobile phones to teach the ancients to do infrastructure

Prince Jiao was grounded and deprived of the right to handle government affairs, and the news spread throughout Shangjing immediately.

Everyone suddenly had a feeling that the rain was about to come.

Not long ago it was reported that the prince was favored by the king, and he was with him every day. At that time, some people thought there was nothing wrong with it. Now it seems that there are already signs.

All of a sudden, the original relationship network, especially the relationship network related to the prince, instantly became subtle.

If there is no room for maneuver, the power structure of Daqian will have to undergo some changes. After all, Prince Jiao has been the heir apparent for so long, and his relationship with the court is also intricate.

More importantly, the crown prince is equivalent to being abolished, so other princes will become active, especially the forces behind these princes. In the past, the prince Jiao’s family was the only one, and they dared not have any ideas, but now it is different. He doted on the prince, but the king didn't say anything, and he couldn't do anything until he issued a specific edict to the world.

In other words, as far as the prince Zhuo's character is concerned, he is not as good as the prince Jiao to be honest. At least on the surface, although the prince Jiao has not made any achievements in government affairs, the prince's virtue has always been quite good.

Just after asking why the crown prince was punished so severely, the people in Shangjing were a little speechless.

"I heard that it was because Prince Jiao ordered people to cut down a large number of trees, which caused floods in Yecheng and other three cities, displaced the people, and caused me to suffer heavy losses in food."

"The flood was not a natural disaster, but man-made."

Hiss, I don't know how many people gasped.

This cannot be described in terms of virtue, it is a disaster for the world.

"No wonder, no wonder His Majesty punished the Crown Prince Jiao so severely, he was almost abolished."

The obvious reason is indeed this, and only the officials in the court know the real reason why Prince Jiao's situation has become like this.

Suddenly someone said, "Do you still remember the two pieces of paper found in the turtle's belly not long ago, one of which said, "Dragon turns into a snake, and you lose your virtue?"

hiss!

"This, this, this... Does this dragon refer to the crown prince Jiao?"

No matter how I think about it, it is true, "Sure enough, it is a warning from the heavens to do something big."

All of a sudden, the news that was originally forgotten was spread again.

There is no way, the crown prince cut down trees and caused floods, which fits this sentence too well, isn't it just a big loss of virtue.

"The content on the first note has been fulfilled, so what does the second note mean?"

After the shock, I couldn't help but think of the content on the remaining note, "A well-organized government and a harmonious people make the world auspicious."

"Literally, it should be a good thing, right?"

A little uncertain, because all the vague warnings from heaven are basically unpredictable until they are clear.

In the capital, the common people are discussing these gods and ghosts, while the meritorious family is confused in guessing who the king will appoint as the next prince.

Because only they know that it is almost impossible for Prince Jiao to stand up. If such things as private camps can be exposed, other princes will have to follow suit in the future. Therefore, while the common people are still waiting to see if there is room for maneuver, These meritorious families are already making other preparations.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to describe the current Shangjing City as a storm.

As for the threshold of Prince Zhuo's mansion, I heard that it was about to be broken through, and Prince Zhuo became the most vocal person among all the princes in one fell swoop, and he was in a good mood.

Not only that, Sangong also found the king in the palace.

"Nowadays there are rumors all over the capital, all because of the unstable position of the crown prince, please make plans early, Your Majesty."

Since ancient times, abolishing the prince has been something that can shake the foundation of the country. For example, now, under their noses, private activities among officials have become frequent, and cliques have almost surfaced.

Sangong didn't say who would be the crown prince, they just let the king make a decision early, so as not to cause such chaos to spread, causing panic among the officials and speculation among the people.

The king gave a thank you through his nose, without even raising his head, and he didn't know if he listened.

When the news reached Chen Bai and the others, Chen Bai and Qi Zheng looked at each other, and everything was silent and within their expectations.

"Now that the first warning has been fulfilled, it is time for the second warning to be fulfilled."

"And hurry up, otherwise the king will issue an edict to appoint a new crown prince, and it will be a lot of trouble."

This was originally planned by Chen Bo and the others. Even without this flood, they would have found a way to abolish Prince Jiao.

Chen Bo has not been idle these days, and they are implementing the second flood control plan.

"The dredging method is to divert the flow at the place where the embankment is weak, and then merge it at the place where the embankment is thick..."

"Since ancient times, water control has been mainly based on dredging. Blocking is often time-consuming and may not be effective."

"To put it bluntly, it is to dig a few dredges in the places where I drew the line. With the help of the special geographical location of these places, the water flow can be diverted and the pressure on the river can be reduced."

"Look at the lines I drew. They were originally some ditches. As long as a little treatment is done, a large amount of river water can be diverted from the main river when the heavy rain breaks out, reducing the pressure on the river. Moreover, these ditches store water and can It can be used to irrigate crops in nearby fields, killing two birds with one stone."

"In this way, dredging is carried out at intervals, and the ability of the river to withstand floods will be greatly increased."

It is indeed much less time-consuming and labor-intensive than building a dam. It is also thanks to Chen Bo who has been visiting everywhere these days, and thanks to the magic of nature, he can control the flood with the help of geographical advantages.

After discussing with Qi Zheng, Chen Bo and Qi Zheng began to divide the work.

Qi Zheng is responsible for cooperating with local officials, organizing manpower, digging channels at the locations marked on the map, and channeling the river water into natural gullies.

Chen Bo is responsible for publicity, afforestation, flood control and riot control, and popularizing the benefits and uses of these drainage channels.

And Chen Bo’s students are also very useful. How to dig the dredging channel and how deep to dig depends on them to guide them with the data they usually record. After all, it is useless to dig the dredging channel shallowly. Minor floods.

Chen Bo also asked people to erect stone tablets at these locations as a tool to measure the water level. Once the water level is exceeded, it means that it is time to be vigilant, and the water level has to be measured by these students.

"The significance of the different water levels must be clearly explained to the local officials." Chen Bo said to a group of students holding notebooks.

A group of students nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Bo, we are still waiting to make achievements, and nothing will go wrong."

When talking, the little faces were a little red with excitement. They are helping to control the flood at such a young age, and they have played a considerable role, and they are not just fooling around like other meritorious children. .

Chen Boen said, there is no way, only these students can probably understand what he said, so these tasks have to be assigned to them.

Apart from doing publicity, Chen Bo... has one more thing.

After all, only local officials and ordinary people see the knowledge of flood control and riot prevention in the local area.

He and Qi Zheng worked so hard, he had to let the officials in Beijing and the king see it.

So, when he found time, he was drawing four-panel comics.

Yes, it's comics, kind of nonsensical.

The name of the cartoon is Flood Control and Riot Prevention, and so is the content. It is probably that after the trees are felled, the flood breaks out and the people suffer unspeakably.

Then two people led a group of people to control the flood, plant trees and grass, and dig ditches to divert the water.

In the end, the people had a good harvest.

It mainly talks about some small knowledge of flood control.

People in this era may not know what Chen Bo thinks is common sense, so it should be regarded as a popular science education for the people of Shangjing.

In order to clearly show who is leading the team to deal with the flood, Chen Bo's painting is more direct and rough. He directly writes the character "zheng" in front of one of them, and the character "褏" in front of the other.

If you can't tell who it is, it can only be said to be a pig's brain.

The four-frame comics are relatively simple, but the content expressed is particularly interesting. If you add some jokes, it is definitely a "little book" that must be read every day.

Now everyone has their own errands.

Chen Bo's four-frame comics are almost finished with the excavation of the dredging channel, and they are waiting for an opportunity to release them in Shanghai.

Chen Bo has to patrol various construction sites every day. Although he simply digs by taking advantage of the terrain, but after all, some students are supervising the construction, so he still has to go and have a look.

At this time, Chen Bo's four-frame comics became the favorite of these students.

"Brother, I have now found my goal in life, I want to become a manga artist." Chen Xiaobu shook his sister's head, holding the manga with glowing eyes.

These little people are too cute, he wants to draw them too.

Chen Bo: "..."

He used to say that becoming a pet groomer is his goal in life, but has this changed again?

Shaking his head, he said, "Tingwei Mansion is still waiting for you to shine on the lintel."

Chen Xiaobu frowned earnestly, "It's enough for the Guangyao family to have a brother. My brother is so powerful. I just need to be a younger brother. I want to pursue my dream."

Chen Bo: "..."

Well, see how many days you can last.

Looking at Chen Bo's four-frame cartoon, Chen Xiaobu was really inspired. He was scribbling there, and he still smiled silly from time to time. He didn't know what he was laughing at.

Chen Bo looked at the dredging tunnel that was almost dug, and at the Huoshaoyun in the sky, it seemed that the time he had to wait was almost here.

On this day, it was very interesting for Chen Bo to watch the ants busy moving on the ground.

A group of students who had completed the supervision looked at Chen Bo suspiciously, "Brother Bai, you still like to play with ants at your age? My father said that it is not appropriate for someone at my age to lie on the ground and play with ants."

Chen Bo: "..."

Well, telling them about the precursors of the rainstorm is also considered field teaching.

Chen Bo started talking about Huoshaoyun, ants moving...

Even Qi Zheng was stunned for a long time, "This rain has no time, how can people predict whether it will rain or not?"

A group of students, "This is fun, remember it."

Chen Bo smiled, "Within three days, there will be heavy rain, you just wait."

The rainstorm that Chen Bo mentioned came earlier than he expected.

That is, in the afternoon of the second day, the rumbling thunder shook the sky, and the rain fell like a waterfall.

A group of students were stunned, "It's...it's really raining, oh my god, can we still watch the stars and measure the rain? Tsk tsk, what kind of observatory to build, what kind of sky watcher to find, just come to us."

Compared with Chen Bo and the others' heartlessness, the local people were frowning, and even terrified in their hearts. It was like this last time, and then it was accompanied by the flood.

This time the rain was even greater than the last time, which meant that it was destined to attract floods.

Chen Bo and the others hid from the rain in the house, and then saw outside the window, people running up the mountain in the rain.

"What are they doing?"

Before guessing it, some locals came to inform.

"My lords, go up the mountain quickly. If you are late, it will be too late. The flood will come soon."

The local officials also came, and the prince is here, they can't let the prince have any problems.

Chen Bo said a few words, "The dredging channel has been dug. When the river rises and exceeds the water level I predicted, the water will be diverted. It should not cause floods."

Local officials, spooked by the flood, beg to differ.

After Chen Bo said a few words, he didn't say anything, and he didn't want to embarrass others. He led the people up the mountain.

To be honest, running up the mountain in the rain like this, although wearing a coir raincoat, is basically useless in such a heavy rain, and the places that should get wet are absolutely indispensable.

It was a group of students who were having fun, they had never played in such a heavy rainy day, and they were drenched like monkeys.

Chen Bo and the others have coir raincoats, but many people don't even use coir raincoats, so they look a bit miserable.

But there is no way. Last time, some people's houses were washed away by the flood. If they don't climb to the high mountain, it will be very dangerous.

There are a lot of people, and you can see everything in the world.

It's just...it was too dark, and the flood didn't come.

"This is impossible. According to the situation last time, there should be a bigger flood."

It was getting late, and the voice of discussion also rose.

"How long has it been? Nothing happened?"

They were still lamenting that this year's disasters are too frequent, how are they going to live these days.

As a result, the flood that should have come did not come.

I don't know where to start, but I looked at Chen Bai, Qi Zheng, and a group of students.

They couldn't help but think of Chen Bai's promotion in their local area these days, because the content had never been heard before, so it was a little difficult to digest.

But now, they're going through something like this, so it's easier to understand that.

Muttering to himself, "The flood is gone?"

I still can't believe it.

Then, they looked at Chen Bai and the others in unison.

Chen Bo sighed, touched the rain on his face, and took a step forward, "From today onwards, as long as no trees are cut down and vegetation is no longer destroyed, there will be very little flooding in Yecheng and the surrounding cities."

There is no guarantee that there will be no 100% absence. After all, the dredging channel is not a dam, and the diversion capacity is limited. If it exceeds the bearing capacity of the dredging channel, there will still be floods.

Chen Bo looked at the sky and added, "At least the heavy rain like now will not cause floods again, everyone can go home with peace of mind."

The rain drenched Chen Bai's body, running down his body sparingly.

A group of people opened their mouths: "..."

At first, they thought that the officials who came to control the flood this time, just like before, only knew how to enjoy themselves, and they were just here to go through the motions.

But now, even those young masters who are still very young are just like them, soaking in the rain, letting the wind and rain blow, feeling everything they have endured.

They have also seen these young masters supervising construction at the construction site these days.

At this moment, they realized that these people were different. Although they were nobles, they didn't have the arrogance and extravagance of nobles. They were a group of people who did practical things.

It is true, students like Chen Bo and commoner students have attended classes together for one year. In the eyes of these students, those commoner students are their classmates. In this era of distinct classes, this is very strange.

But it is also because of this that Chen Bai and the young sons of meritorious families do look different. Although no one can tell what is different, they will find the difference after getting along for a long time.

Chen Bo looked at the unresponsive crowd and said, "Go home, there is no flood."

In this world, the most heart-warming thing may be just a word, just like now.

One after another, the crowd began to return.

It's just that they probably will never forget these Yunshang Academy students who are a little different from ordinary nobles.

Yes, they may not be able to fully recognize the identities of these students, but they know that these students are all students of Yunshang Academy.

The next day, the local officials were planning to hold a celebration ceremony, but Chen Bai and Qi Zheng got into the carriage immediately and returned to Beijing.

As I said before, the situation in Beijing is unstable now, and they cannot leave for too long.

Now that the flood disaster has been resolved, it is time to go back. As for how to arrange for the people who have suffered losses, this is a matter for local officials.

In fact, it was much faster than expected, and thanks to the good location, it was of great help to dredging the channel.

As soon as he returned to Shangjing, Chen Bai handed over his four-panel cartoon to Qi Zheng, "pasted it in the most conspicuous place in our Shangjing."

Qi Zheng took a look, he knew what Chen Bai meant.

Sure enough, the next day, the bulletin board in Shangjing was full of people.

Such a unique and funny four-panel comic will surely welcome more people to watch it.

"Tips about flood and riot prevention?"

"This, this, this...why do I look a bit like Prince Zheng and the University of Zhaoxue went to deal with the floods in Yecheng and other three cities?"

"Could it be Prince Zheng and Bachelor Zhaoxue, look at the names written on their chests."

"Why is it so funny, it looks like a doll."

The manga with three heads is indeed a bit funny, but the characters are cute.

"I can't bear to look straight at it. What should I do? Whenever I think of Prince Zheng and the University of Zhaoxue, this doll with a big head and short legs appears in my mind."

Then someone discovered the situation, "Why does this painting seem to have cured the flood, and what dredging method was used."

"Impossible, so fast? In the past, it was not cured this year and continued to erupt next year. It all depends on God."

At this time, someone suddenly said, "This time it may be different."

"Yesterday, some businessmen from Yecheng and other three cities entered the city. I heard from them that this time, Prince Zheng and they really cured the flood. I heard that there was nothing wrong with the torrential rain. This happened only recently. Things can’t be faked.”

"Now the people in the three cities of Yecheng are grateful to the Prince Zheng, the Bachelor of Zhaoxue University, and the students of Yunshang College. If you don't believe me, just ask a local in these places in Yecheng. They can tell you about it for three days and three days. Ye Huang Zizheng and how they dealt with the flood."

Awkward.

Is it really different this time?

Suddenly, someone asked, "Do you still remember the other note in the turtle's belly?"

"The government is sound and the people are harmonious, and the world is prosperous. Could it be that the word "politics" refers to..."

At this time, in the teahouse, Chen Bai and Qi Zheng were sitting by the window by the wall, looking at the position of the bulletin board.

"The first step has been successful, it's time to move on to the next step."

Qi Zheng nodded and glanced at Chen Bai, "Be careful, the road will become more thorny if you have a reputation, because the king...will not allow it."

Chen Bai smiled, "A little bit of fame is indeed a burden to you now, but when the reputation has accumulated so that no one can believe it and cannot underestimate it, even the king can no longer ignore it like before."

Others may not understand what Chen Bai is talking about, but Qi Zheng knows it, "The express delivery, ambulance, and bus system you mentioned..."

The voices of the two were very weak in this noisy Shangjing City, but soon, no one could ignore their voices.
