Lu Xinqing carried the Huyanshi Sutra on his back, crossed the steps of the terraces, and went down to the bottom of the valley. There is a mountain to block the wind, and the pond is calm and calm. A few long reeds cover the southeast corner, and the surrounding area is covered with dogtail grass. Opposite the reeds is a thatched house. A big yellow dog ran across the grass from a short distance away, barking at Liangqu in an attempt to drive away the intruder. "Hurry! Hurry!" Huyan Shijing simply barked a few times and easily drove away the local dog. He turned to Liang Qu and explained, "Those who are raised in the valley like to bark when they see strangers." "The dog is good." "My lord would like to see you off." "Forget it, I already have one at home." "That must be a majestic divine dog!" Liang Qu: "..." Arrive in front of the hut.
Lian Jingye took off the key chain from his waist and looked for the concierge key, while searching. "After Yingjian's death, Cheng Chong built a small hut at the bottom of the valley. He practiced and slept in it on weekdays. Except for necessary appearances and training with the gang, he rarely came out, and his meals were delivered to the door. We thought that Cheng Chong lived in seclusion and was mourning the first and second gang leaders. Now it seems that he was mourning his own son Yingjian. " Liang Qu looked back at the terraced fields: "Who grows the fields?" Lian Jingye turned around and said: "The tenant farming used to be empty on the back mountain. After Cheng Chong became the leader of the third gang, he said that the back mountain was empty. It was better to grow grain. In the future, people would build the mountain gate and surround it. I don't think he could last for a while. day." Liang Qu held the album and kept writing. He raised his head when he heard the words: "You guys have a lot of ideas." "Ahem, sir, don't be surprised." Hu Yanshijing's eyes twitched when he saw Liang Qu writing, "It's just a few jokes, there are so many people in the gang, half a mountain field, it can't be eaten for a few days, just plant it for fun." "Don't worry, I didn't write it down." Liang Qu looked at the terraced fields, "I heard people say that Chang Lake and Heishui River are connected before Jiazi, but disconnected after Jiazi. Is it because of the land reclamation around the lake?" Lian Jingye opened the door: "It's not just Jiazi, it's time to connect the Heishui River and Changhu Lake. Huyan Qianshi may know." Huyan Shijing explained: "It's true that it's not just Jiazi. Which junior should have said this to Master Liang, right?" "Around thirty years old." "That's right, I'm a junior. I'm ninety-three this year. When I was a child, the Changhu Lake and the Heishui River were not connected at all. It only occasionally flooded the river and served as a flood outlet. The reclamation of the lake to cultivate farmland was probably part of the reason. The Heishui River itself unilaterally discharges floodwater into the Changhu Lake, and a large amount of sediment accumulates on the bottom of the lake, causing the lake level to continue to rise. The South Lake area gradually piles up into land, and its own flood storage capacity is greatly reduced. After the founding of the People's Republic of Dashun, the population increased year by year. With more people, people needed to eat, and to eat, they needed to farm. The lakes and fields were fertile, so people near Changhu Lake began to build fields around the lake. The two-pronged approach of attacking and encircling the lake has resulted in the lake getting smaller and smaller. Compared with today, it is probably less than 30% as big as it was a hundred years ago. " "Controlling water does not control sand..." Liang Qu was thoughtful. When he came, he noticed that the Heishui River contained a lot of sand. It would be a matter of time before the long lake and the river were cut off due to erosion and land creation. Coupled with the river's diversion, it is possible that the Heishui River itself will leave Huazhu County in a hundred or two hundred years.
"Controlling the water but not the sand?" Hu Yanshijing thought about the two sentences and his eyes brightened, "Your Excellency, you really hit the nail on the head! If you can become the governor of the two rivers in the future, you will not be able to save the flood victims in the world!" There is no magic trick to control the river, it is all about confining the water and returning it to the trough. There is no magic trick to control the water, it is all about building strong embankments. This sentence was mentioned in Xu Yuelong's "General Survey on Building Embankments" and "General Survey on Protecting Embankments" to Liangqu. It is said that it was said by the former governor of Liangjiang. It can be roughly seen that in the face of floods, ordinary people's management plan. However, the strategy to contain the water can only be soft rather than hard. Liang Qu had taken a geography class and knew that the only way to alleviate flooding was to comply with hydrological laws and solve soil erosion. "Just how to control sand?" Hu Yanshijing couldn't figure it out. Liang Qu looked surprised: "There is no time limit for cutting down trees. Floods and droughts may not be caused by this. Haven't you learned?" Huyan Shijing is ashamed. "The only way to control desertification is to plant trees. It's all in the classics. It's not that the court didn't know the relationship between flooding and tree planting, but it's just not easy to do it. How long does it take to plant trees to achieve results? How much money? If you plant today, the people who will be short of firewood tomorrow will be looking at it. If you want to get married the day after tomorrow, the people will be short of furniture or stools. This can only be achieved by incurring astronomical costs, but no one can guarantee that this cost will lead to results. At the same time, you have to take into account people's livelihood and avoid causing anger and resentment. In short, planting trees to control floods is a very complicated matter, and few people know and can do it. " "Almost not?" Hu Yanshijing was stunned, "Sir, do you mean someone has done it?" Liang Qu did not answer Huyan Shijing because he suddenly realized that his statement was wrong. The experience of the past life cannot be copied. Without strange powers and chaos, one can only plant trees. But in Dashun... Liang Qu thought of the undercurrent channel under Pingyang County. Such channels that violate hydrological laws are completely unlike natural occurrences... "grown ups?" "A place you don't know." Liang Qu casually dealt with Hu Yanshijing and entered the room. There aren't many furnishings in the cabin. A small cabinet, a bed, an upturned desk, and a futon in the middle. It's so simple that it doesn't look like the residence of the Shahe Gang leader. Looking around, there are still incense burning on the raised table, and white smoke rises from the incense burner. Liang Qu had used the Condensing Incense a long time ago. Brother Hu gave it to him. It can help warriors concentrate and guide their energy and blood more smoothly. Many wealthy warriors would burn half a stick when practicing, but later Liang Qu learned "Wan Sheng Bao Yuan". The core of Wansheng Baoyuan is to hold a person's essence, energy, and spirit so that it does not consume internally or escape externally, and fills the body for a long time, saving him a lot of money in terms of the attributes of the technique. After recording the general structure of the house, Liang Qu opened the cabinet and found several exercises, booklets, and two scrolls inside.
After taking a look at the technique, Liang Qu was not very interested as it was not as good as his own. Two scrolls were opened, one was a young man and the other was a beautiful woman. Liang Qu looked at Lian Jingye and Hu Yanshijing. Lian Jingye identified her: "That young man is Cheng Yingjian, and that woman is the seventeenth concubine of the gang leader, and she is also the only woman who gave birth to a child." Liang Qu was surprised and said: "Seventeenth? How many rooms are there in total?" "Total, eighteen rooms..." "Your gang leader is quite powerful." Lian Jingye and Hu Yanshijing laughed awkwardly. Lu Xinqing stepped forward holding the inkstone. Liang Qu licked the ink with his brush and recorded it. Eighteen people gave birth to a son, and it was not his own, so he was obviously not the leader of a big gang. After walking around the house and finding no clues, Liang Qu put out the Ningshen Incense and went out with a few people. "Seal up the hut and don't let anyone get close to it. People from the Sanfa Department will come to inspect it in two days. I will protect you from Cheng Chong's destruction of the embankment, but the evidence is missing. If any trouble occurs, you will be lucky. , did you hear clearly?” "Clearly clear." Huyan Shijing shouted: "From today onwards, I will build a hut next to the thatched hut and guard it every night. If anyone tries to destroy it, they will definitely step over my body!" "That's not necessary. Take me to see the boat." Lian Jingye took the lead: "My lord, please come this way." Several people returned to the mansion and sent someone to take the unconscious Cheng Chong over Shahe Mountain. A mighty fleet suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain. Liang Qu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect the Shahe Gang to be so powerful. There were many large ships over five feet tall, and countless fishing boats. Which is a boat? It's clearly due to the rickety behavior! Lian Jingye called for a swarthy old man with rotten teeth and introduced him to Liang Qu: "Old Songtou, I have been working as a sailor for twenty years, as a helmsman, a sailor, a fighter, and a sailor. meeting. Later, he worked as the boss of a ship for twenty years, and all his teeth were rotten by the river wind. There is no boat master in the entire Shahe Gang who is more experienced than him. You can let him handle anything you need. " Old Songtou hurriedly bowed: "Mr. Liang is well." Old Songtou knew without guessing that the knife on Lian Jingye's neck was carried by the young man in front of him. And Lian Jingye's ability to put a knife on his neck is equivalent to a young man putting a knife on his own neck. "Those two big ships are not convenient for traveling in floods, are they?" Liang Qu looked at the fleet and pointed at the two leading ships, which were twelve feet long. They had extremely deep drafts and had to put in a lot of effort to be able to stop here.
Old Song clasped his fists in his hands: "My lord, it is clear to you that large boats are inconvenient for flood relief. The alleys cannot be entered, and the water level is shallow, so it is very easy to hit the bottom." "Thank you for your hard work, forget about the first few big ships, and follow me for the rest!" "yes!" Lao Songtou left in a hurry to integrate the fleet. As soon as Liang Qu had an idea, he saw Chishan at the foot of the mountain and finless porpoises, leading the boat towards this place. He carried Fu Bo on his back and carried the black iron bow and gave the final instructions. "After I leave, other people from Hebo will come over. Don't say anything about Cheng Chong, why the Juyi Building collapsed, why you were injured, and you can find a way to solve the problem yourself, otherwise it will be difficult for me. Do it, do you understand?” "I understand, don't worry, sir." "Don't worry, sir. I'm not a talkative person, and my subordinates will keep a close eye on me." "In the meantime, try to go elsewhere to see if there are any extra boats, even fishing boats. If you can, try to mobilize them as much as possible. Don't let him leave empty-handed." Lian Jingye and others were a little confused. Listening to the previous sentence, Liang Qu seemed to have a grudge against the other party. The latter sentence seems to be absent? The two didn't dare to ask any more questions and promised to do it truthfully. When the boat and Chishan arrived, Liang Qu sent someone to put the unconscious Cheng Chong into the boat. Then let a big boat put down the gangplank, let Chishan go up, sit on the boat, personally look after the Shahe Gang leader, and follow the mighty fleet to leave. The impact of Cheng Chong's incident is too great, and Wei Lin must not be allowed a chance to make a fuss. Otherwise, with just a few words of "intentional" and "concealing the truth," things would become quite serious. Let Xu Yuelong handle it alone and take the lead in leading people to "surrender", and there will be much more room for maneuver. But Liang Qu had no intention of letting the other party go home empty-handed and intentionally causing trouble. One more person, one more force.
