Chapter 1363 flood control

*The correct imperial compliment was more than the follow-up personnel of the city to Shengjing.

When he saw the instructions, he said that he had drawn twelve posts from the six departments to listen to Cao Yong's orders, Cao Yong thought of Zuo Zhu.

He is not a saint. Since he has encountered this opportunity to make achievements, there is no reason to avoid suspicion.

Kua Dai, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, has been ordered to go to Jiangnan: Huang Guocai, the Minister of the Han Dynasty, is a decoration.

He went to the position of Minister of Works, but was just a retirement person and had always been kind to others.

Huang Guocai was from Cao Yong's generation. He also served as an official in Jiangnan in his early years and had an old age with Cao Yong. Even though the court was ranked behind Cao Yong, Cao Yong still respected him more.

Huang Guocai reciprocates his favor, not only kind to Cao Yong, but also takes good care of Zuo Zhu.

This time, Cao Yong served as the Minister of Works and took the errand of the Ministry of Works. Mr. Huang not only did not stumbling over Cao Yong, but also raised a lot of things that need attention.

With this old man's insight, it's unreasonable to send Zuo Zhu out. After all, working in the Ministry of Works, there are really not many opportunities to make achievements like this.

Guarding Shengjing, how can this amount be compared to ordinary river engineering?

The manpower who came out of Beijing with Cao Yong was recommended by Huang Guocai.

Because Yongzheng summoned the elders to the imperial court to answer, he did not mention Zuozhu in order to avoid suspicion for Cao Yong.

This time, the additional staff is different. There are so many people who are busy with errands, so even if you stay in the house, it is not conspicuous.

Unexpectedly, the person marked behind did not hold the left hand.

Although Cao Yong was suspicious, he was busy with flood control and did not care about this matter for the time being.

After receiving the imperial edict, he established two with Yidu, and selected 36 officials under the age of 45 from the six ministries of Shengjing, divided them into eighteen groups, and went to various dangerous places to bring people to repair dams and prevent floods.

With the help of Eqi, a local tyrant, even if the number of garrisons in the banner is insufficient, they can find ways to make up for civil servants and deal with the land and manpower.

By the time the Heilongjiang General and the soldiers from the Jilin General arrived in Shengjing, the flood control fortifications around Shengjing had already been carried out in an orderly manner.

After the pen style of the capital arrived in Shengjing, Cao Yong arranged for them, and together with several officials like Eqi who "recommended themselves" these days, each of them went to a flood control site.

In this way, three people took the lead in staring at each flood control point.

The six officials from the Ministry of Works, who came with him and Yidu, were divided into two groups and inspected various dangerous situations along the river.

Although Cao Yong did not make a military order with these officials, he still held the imperial edict before everyone left the city and told the important aspects of the flood control fortifications here, which not only involved the people's livelihood around Shengjing, but also related to the face of the court, and could not be misunderstood.

"The ugly saying is ahead. If any adult is responsible for the position that is in trouble and floods Shengjing, the future will be over: on the contrary, if any adult is doing a good job, the emperor can be too furious. Is it necessary to go home to rest? It's all over the past ten months. Please think about it. If any adult feels that he can't bear the hard work, he will also tell the church in advance that the church will arrange other people: Once today, the responsibility for protecting the dam will fall on you, and no matter what reason, he will not be able to withdraw." Cao Yong said bluntly, and his eyes were sharp at everyone.

Some people are unwilling to worry, but who dares to quit at this time? Who is willing to quit?

Whether for the dozens of officials in Shengjing or for the people coming from the capital, this is an opportunity. Who is willing to miss it for nothing?

Seeing that no one left, Cao Yong ordered everyone to leave the city and come in place.

As for how to prevent floods, except for the early regulations of the Ministry of Works, Cao Yong can think of very few ways.

Although he came from three years later, it was difficult for a non-professional to talk about water conservancy.

However, he had experienced the 1998 flood. I remember that he was still a student at that time. He went to his classmates' house during the summer vacation. Because he caught the flood of the Liaohe River, the roads and railways were broken, and he was isolated from a lonely little girl who was like a loneliness.

town.

He was curious at the time why roads and railways would be interrupted.

Later, I heard it all over the place. The road and railway were interrupted because the bridges and beams that were broken through the road and railway route.

Those highway bridges and railway bridges were not washed away by floods, but were artificially exploded with explosives before the flood came. The purpose was to discharge floods, so as to save the floods, and the towns and villages on both sides of the railway.

At this time, Cao Yong thought of this method.

Where the explosives are, it is naturally in the armory of the Ministry of War of Shengjing.

Yiduli and Eqi were shocked when they heard that Cao Yong was going to use explosives to blow up the bridge. However, Eqi and Cao Yong were not familiar with each other, so they couldn't say much.

Yiduli couldn't help but dissuade him: "Furuo, isn't it too rash? Blasting the bridge and destroying the road, this... is not only a waste of money, but it's not good." Speaking of this, thinking that Cao Yong had a correct idea and his words might not work, he continued: "Otherwise, Furuo handed over a letter to the imperial court for instructions and see what the emperor said?"

It takes as long as four or five days to pass messages between Beijing and Shengjing.

After a few days, Cao Yong might be less impulsive.

When Cao Yong heard Yiduli say that he would hand over the memorial to the imperial court, he immediately rushed to the temporary study room in the official office and picked up the pen to write the memorial.

He scolded himself half to death in his heart. He was simply a pig's head. Why did he remember the "blasting the bridge" when he arrived in Shengjing and went to the surrounding rivers?

In fact, the ancients had long said that "opening dams to release floods" in flood control, "exploding bridges and destroying roads" were similar to the quality of it. It was nothing more than making the water flow smoothly, saving water level too high, and floods flooded out of the river.

However, people in the world often put "building bridges and building roads" together with "building bridges and building roads", so few people think of taking the initiative to "destroy bridges and roads".

The rainy season in the north comes later, and it is still time for Shengjing to deal with it, and the flood season will begin at the end of May in the south.

He was in vain before, as if he was worried about floods in the south, but apart from preparing food for relief, he did not think about flood control.

He picked up his pen and told him about the situation he had checked around Shengjing these days.

Although the surnames outside Guan are not as densely distributed as those inside Guan Guan, Shengjing is the former capital after all, and there are many people gathered around the bannermen.

The surname is also accustomed to living by water, and is mostly distributed in river basins.

"Blasting bridges and destroying roads" and "opening dams and releasing floods" are the same roads, which can reduce flood risk and control losses to a small range.

After he wrote the memorial and wrote his name behind him, he realized that Yiduli had already entered the study with him, standing a few steps away, with a restrained smile on his face and a little solemn.

"Sir" Cao Yong hurriedly said, "Thank you for your advice. It is a big deal after all, it is better to ask the emperor for instructions."

Yiduli said helplessly: "Is Furuo determined this method?" Cao Yong opened a scroll with a map of the location of the eighteen dams around Shengjing, and also marked the location of some bridges and beams on it.

Cao Yong asked Yidu to step forward and pointed at the top and said, "Sir, please see, this endangeres several main streams of Shengjing and passes through several bridges. What consequences will it lead to if the water flows poorly?"

Yiduli frowned and looked at it, still disapproving of this method.

Why this?

Even if the water level rises a little, it is just to strengthen the embankments on both sides of the way, so how can I use it?

But looking at Cao Yong's meaning, he was determined to do so.

Yidu was helpless, but he had no intention of being out of the matter. He said without hesitation: "Since Fu decides to hand in the letter, then add Lao Yi's name!" "Sir" Cao Yong was really moved when he heard this.

Yidulicai was full of trouble because of the destruction of the Eight Banners in Shengjing, but now he still supported him without hesitation.

Yiduli smiled and said, "Who told me to be your deputy? If I don't sign together, with the emperor's son, don't think we are in an internal strife." This is the truth, but after all, I lost my respect. Cao Yong hurried to the door of the study room and looked around. He felt relieved when he saw that there was no one.

He shook his head in disapproval and said, "…Sir, please be careful in the future!"

Yiduli smirked, nodded, and said, "I won't say it in front of others." Cao Yong thought about Yiduli's proactive mention of the joint name of the memorials.

Folk customs are folk customs, and kings are kings.

Yongzheng was not a stubborn king. He would not think that "blasting bridges and destroying roads" was unlucky, so he ignored the people's livelihood.

Even if there is any dispute over this memorial, as long as the result is good and the meritorious service will be made in the end, Yiduli will also benefit from the joint signature.

Iduli stabbed the hornet's nest due to the Eight Banners, and he might encounter many troubles in the future.

Now the Thirteenth Prince is in power. For the sake of the Thirteenth Prince, it is better to be Yiduli: When the Thirteenth Prince dies, there will be no need to wait for "Calling the accounts after Autumn 1"

At this time, Cao Yong didn't know that Yongzheng had planned to take advantage of the destruction of the Eight Banners in Shengjing, or he would have cried for Yiduli...

As soon as the memorial was sent away, it started to rain in Shengjing.

Although it was not a heavy rain, it almost stopped for three days.

News came from officials on the dam beside the garrison.

The river water rises fiercely, and although the water levels of several main streams have not exceeded the standard, it is also dangerous. If it does not turn sunny and takes less than three days, the river dam will be at risk.

Cao Yong had done everything he could do at this time, and the rest was the decision to "blast the bridge and destroy the road".

Even if the Beijing City note has not been released, it would not be too difficult to use the firearms of the Shengjing Military Department’s Office as he and Yiduli, but they had to bear the unhappiness at the banquet afterwards.

Such a thankless behavior was not what Cao Yong wanted: But when the Hongfeng arrived, there was no choice, and Cao Yong would not ignore the safety of Yanhe's surname in order to protect himself.

Fortunately, God treats Cao Yong well.

On the fourth day, the rain finally stopped and the weather began to turn clear.

Among the eighteen flood control sites, only two rivers flooded the foot of the dike, and river dams needed to be built, and the other sixteen were safe.

This is the beginning of the rainy season in the north. Of course, we cannot take it lightly. However, with such a beginning, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of each resident garrison.

On June 14th, Cao Yong's memorial was handed back to Shengjing after the imperial instructions.

In addition to the word "just", there is also a sentence in the memorial: "Shengjing River Engineering is in charge, and Cao Yong is allowed to do things cheaply." There were also two letters from home who arrived on the same day.

One letter was written by Chu Yu, mentioning that Tianzuo had arrived in Jiangnan, Hang Seng was assigned an errand and went with the Sixteenth Prince. Outside, everyone in the family was healthy and had nothing to do, please take care of Cao Yong outside.
