It is October, and the leaves on the willow trees have begun to turn yellow. Occasionally, a piece of them is torn off by the wind and flies in the air. The weeds on the roadside quietly fade away their emerald green colors, making them look particularly desolate.

The first batch of JD disaster victims who arrived looked at the dilapidated outer city of Luoyang not far away and shivered slightly in the cold wind.

In July, the Yellow River broke from Henglongdao east of Chanzhou. It was extremely large and could no longer be blocked. It could only be allowed to divert the Yellow River. After passing through Pingyuan County of Dezhou, it was divided into three rivers to the north of the old river channel of the Han and Tang Dynasties. This flood mainly occurred on Hebei Road, but the most affected Jingdong Road was the densely populated Jingdong Road. With the floods in the Lianghuai River, there were many victims this year.

After passing Guangwu Mountain, the Yellow River is in the lower reaches. There is no mountain between the two sides of the river, and there is actually no fixed river channel. Every time a new river channel is opened, it will be safer. Because the river water contains a lot of mud and sand, which continues to accumulate, the river channel will be raised after a period of time. Until the manpower cannot be blocked, the new river channel will be opened.

The vast North China Plain is silted out from the continuous diverting of the Yellow River, in a large fan-shaped shape, starting from the Haihe River Basin in the north and reaching the Huaihe River Basin in the south. This vast land is divided by the Haihe River, Jishui River, Huaisi River and its tributaries. The larger Yellow River does not have its own fixed basin and must seize one of the three rivers into the sea. Every time it is a human disaster.

To control the Yellow River, it is necessary to control the sand, but not the sand, and all efforts are in vain. After the flood, Xu Ping's memorial only asked the court to try his best to comfort it, but he did not give any comments on how to control the water. The reason is very simple. Repairing the lower river channels can only be temporary measures, and it is impossible to restrain the Yellow River water.

Human power always seems small and pitiful in the face of the powerful nature. Instead of spending countless manpower and material resources downstream to control the river, it is better to warn early and spend energy on the aftermath of the disaster victims and minimize the losses.

To make the lower reaches of the Yellow River relatively stable, the article must start from the middle reaches, and leave the mud and sand in the Yellow River in the section from Shanzhou to Guangwu Mountain. If this is not done, the downstream river management will not be successful.

In Xu Ping's previous life, the Yellow River had already taken the Ji River into the sea, which was relatively stable. For this stability, a Sanmenxia Dam was first silted and a Xiaolangdi Water Conservancy Hub was built. In terms of purpose, it was all, leaving mud and sand in the middle, at most, choosing the right time to rinse the sand in the fixed season. Once the Yellow River crosses Guangwu Mountain, it loses the conditions for sand control on the Guangbao plain. No matter how much effort it takes, it can only be done.

Can the sand control project be completed in this era? Xu Ping was unsure, and at least it was impossible at this time. Perhaps in the past few decades, he had better material conditions and had a higher status. Some people listened to his words, so he could give it a try. Now, he still doesn’t think about these impossible things.

Wang Yaochen stood at the city gate and looked at the dark crowd outside the city. Although the autumn wind gradually rose, he was still sweating profusely. The victims said that they were recruited as soldiers, but they only had an organization to distribute food to them so that they would not go hungry. Not to mention training, they didn't even have their own organization yet.

Officials are always afraid that a large number of people will gather under their rule, and once there are too many people, they will not be able to control them. Wang Yaochen is now anxious and wants to do the most, which is to settle these people and form order.

Zhong Shiheng ran around the crowd with several public officials, his voice hoarse. The Transport Office wanted to use the victims to clean the river, so he could not make any mistakes. His pressure was greater than that of Wang Yaochen.

Yang Gao was allocating the grain borrowed from Wang Gongchen, a steward of the field in the city. Food is the most important thing for the people. Now the most important thing is to let the victims have a hot and full meal. Once the meal is ready, the matter is half successful.

Xu Ping had left Luoyang, Xijing, and went to Heyin, Mengzhou, and presided over the excavation of the river with Chen Yaozuo. Although the following county of Sishui County was under the leadership of Chen Yaozuo, Xu Ping still had to go and see it at the beginning. Regarding the victims who arrived in Luoyang City, Xu Ping only ordered Yang Gao, Wang Yaochen and others to eat and wear a good meal and wear, and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. The most important thing is to settle these people. As for cleaning the river and other things, everything will be settled.

Staying in the department, Sun Mian sat on the stone bench in the yard, drinking happily, and ate a piece of meat from time to time.

On one side, a public official who was left behind the office was sweating profusely, reporting the current situation outside the city.

After hearing this, Sun Mian frowned: "These victims from Jingdong are honest. They are just waiting outside the city peacefully? Nothing happened? Go, go, and go there and take a look."

The public official agreed and turned around and left.

At this moment, another public official rushed in, came forward and sang a promise, saying, "Prime Minister, Henan Prefecture and Transportation Department outside the city have begun to serve the victims!"

"Oh, what are you eating?"

"One is a large bowl of rice and two pieces of meat and a bowl of porridge, and the other is two steamed buns and two pieces of meat and a bowl of porridge. I don't know where they got so much pork from, and it was crispy, soft and tender, and it was extremely fragrant. No wonder the price of pork in Henan Province has risen in the past two days! The transfer of transportation has made a lot of money!"

Sun Mian looked at the public official and asked him with a smile: "Why, you asked someone for meat to eat?"

The public official lowered his head embarrassedly: "I saw that the meat was cooked very smoothly, so I ate two pieces to taste the taste."

Sun Mian sighed: "It's good to have money, but it's good to have money. Money is like honey, and it's true that this is true!"

Outside the city of Luoyang, two large signs were erected not far from the city gate. One piece said: "There is a fine rice here", and the other piece said: "There is a snow-white steamed bun". In front of the sign, the victims were divided into several rows, and the public officials rushed back and forth.

Zhong Shiheng led his people to shout in the team: "Today there are all rice and flour, and there are countless fat meats. Everyone slowly come forward and eat them all! Don't squeeze them, come one by one, you will definitely have a full meal today! Old and weak women, don't wait in the team, come out and go to the other side, each of them adds an egg!"

This is what Xu Ping specifically ordered, not to let old and weak women get mixed in the crowd, so as not to have accidents. In the event of public gatherings, these vulnerable people are the most likely to have problems and must come out alone. As for adding an egg, they just let them stand up to attract people. In fact, that egg may not be much better than meat.

At this time, the sun was rising, and the rich aroma of flesh drifted in the air with the autumn wind, spreading half of Luoyang City.
