Chapter 1118: The Yellow River Dam

Speaking of this, Wang Zhaojing cleared his throat and said, "Big brother, don't be angry, since this Li Yuliang and the Li family want to do things for our Zhao Ziying, then the eldest brother will even accept Miss Meng into the door." ”

Seeing that Zhao Jin's face changed, Wang Zhaojing stood up and said more solemnly: "The internal affairs of the eldest brother's room, it is said that outsiders should not talk about it, but this is the balance within our Zhao Zi camp, no matter which side is too big, even if this side remains loyal to the eldest brother, it is also the source of the trouble." ”

Liu Yong and Ruhui glanced at each other, they both showed a wry smile, they could all think of this, but every time they admonished, it was really embarrassing, brothers, Wang Zhaojing had the most position to say this.

However, unlike before, this time Zhao Jin did not refute, just nodded contemplatively, Liu Yong knew that Zhao Jin did not want to continue the topic, and hurriedly asked: "Big brother, this celebration, is Mr. Yu here?" ”

Such a ceremony, Yu Zhiyuan naturally will not miss it, with his relationship with Zhao Jin, he can sit at the first few tables during the banquet, this is the time to show his status and the relationship between Zhao Ziying, and it is also an opportunity to deepen the friendship between the two parties, he not only came, but also gave a heavy gift, and came very early, but Yu Zhiyuan did not mention the movement of the fleet below, as if the intimacy of the cooperation between the two sides, and the personnel sent by Zhao Ziying have been carefully trained.

After receiving this reply, Liu Yong said with a smile: "This time I took his Yu family fleet to go ashore at Haizhou Port, and it is estimated that this Yu Gongzi is coming over again." ”? Of course everyone understands what's going on, hearing Liu Yong say this, everyone can't help laughing, with Yu Zhiyuan's exquisite heart to do things, he naturally knows what to do to react, maybe these small actions of the Yu family have nothing to do with him, but he is the head of the Yu family, and this responsibility must be borne by him.

Liu Yong also said his plan for the 100 Liao people on Phi Dao, since these more than 100 households are decent families on Phi Dao, it must be convincing for other refugees, so the next time Phi Dao recruits Liaodong refugees, he will use them as a guide to show up.

Although the deal reached with Mao Wenlong is a deal of exchanging people and timber for materials, people are not livestock, and after getting on the boat, someone must appease their feelings before they can come to Xuzhou with peace of mind, and they are not worried about anything wrong with the people elected by these more than 100 families, no matter what they think in their hearts, their families are the best hostages, and after a long time, they will naturally become part of Zhao Ziying.

"Xiao Yong has made a great contribution this time!" After listening, Zhao Jin couldn't help but say.

If nothing else, the population and timber from Liaodong will continue to come to Zhao Ziying's sphere of influence through the guò sea route.

Everyone who heard the news was very excited, Zhao Jin and Wang Zhaojing immediately arranged to send a letter to the Li family's ship in Haizhou Port, and when things progressed to this point, it was time to transfer ships to the north, although everyone also knew that even if the horse sent the message, things like mobilizing sea ships could not be done immediately.

After arriving at Hejiazhuang, he rested for a day, and dealt with affairs in the council hall early the next morning, after talking about the situation on the sea in Liaodong, everyone had a brief lunch, but Zhao Jin did not go to the guard brigade and several regiments to check the drills in the afternoon, but greeted a few people: "All go to the river with me to have a look." ”

Liu Yong was a little ignorant, but he still followed everyone out of the courtyard, more than 100 horseback riders outside were already on standby, and Liu Yong was very clear about the procedures for guarding Zhao Jin, even if he left temporarily, he would have to have a mobilization arrangement for half an hour, and at this time, this situation showed that it was already routine to go to the river.

It takes more than two hours to ride a horse to the Yellow River on Hejiazhuang's side, and if you don't rush back overnight, you will have to spend the night on the bank of the Yellow River today.

Along the way, Liu Yong noticed that the group training and Minzhuang in the villages along the road were all training, and the Jiading camp passing by also saw that the training was non-stop, and the Jiading was okay, but the group training and Minzhuang were abnormal, you must know that this time was the busy farming, the group training and Minzhuang were cultivating in the fields every day, and if they had to train, they would definitely be very tired, and even delay the farm work.

"They will pay less than 20% this year, and we will allocate some of our food stocks for them to feed themselves." Wang Zhaojing saw Liu Yong's question and opened his mouth to explain.

If there is such an arrangement when leaving, then he will definitely know that it will be a matter of these two months, Liu Yong hurriedly asked: "Are all the granges arranged like this?" So how can we have food in stock? Want to mobilize at Qingjiangpu? ”

Pay less than 20%, and you have to call back, with Zhao Ziying's current control of so many rural households, the amount of grain consumed is really huge.

"No, only Zhuangzi along the Yellow River is like this."

Hearing this, Liu Yongcai breathed a sigh of relief, the population consumption in this area was acceptable, he didn't continue to ask why, anyway, he could see it on the edge of the Yellow River.

The road between Hejiazhuang and the crossing of the Yellow River was wide and smooth, and it was very easy to run, and on the way to constantly see oncoming fast horse messengers, these messengers would be stopped by Zhao Jin's guards, who would come to report the situation and then turn back.

After listening to it a few times, it was all about the report on the water situation of the Yellow River, and Liu Yong also summed up the law, and someone would come to report it almost an hour.

To the bank of the Yellow River, the embankment here looks quite spectacular, before the growth of Zhao Ziying, the Yellow River embankment in Xuzhou has been dilapidated, a qiē water conservancy is deserted, the surging Yellow River usually can not provide the convenience of irrigation, but once it floods is a big disaster, the coastal city villages suffer from the strict zhòng, and in the Zhao Ziying control these years, every year during the agricultural slack time to mobilize the villagers and the people of Xuzhou to build water conservancy, dig ditches, build embankments, over the years, the Xuzhou and Pizhou sections of the Yellow River have been widened as much as possible, The silt in the river is used to fertilize the fields, and then ditches are dug to divert water for irrigation.

The quality of the crops depends on the lack of water, and the price of watering the land is more than twice as expensive as the dry land for eating according to the sky.

However, this dam has been said a lot of cold words, it is nothing more than a drought every year, what kind of dam do you still spend this effort to build, it is nothing more than a few young people have not managed so many people, to make something to show, and some people say that there is a dragon god in the Yellow River, this dragon god dam can not be stopped, once it starts, even if you are an iron dam will be broken, what is the use of repairing?

Wang Youshan once said to Wang Zhaojing, Zhao Ziying expanded, Xuzhou's gentry suffered a lot, why most of them can maintain peace, in addition to the oppression of strength, there is also the Yellow River water conservancy to stabilize people's hearts.

As long as it is a local aboriginal of Xuzhou, there is a fear in my heart, that is, the fear of a flood disaster that breaks out at any time in the Yellow River on the side of the river, it is difficult for people to leave their hometown, this flood has nowhere to hide, the house collapses, the fields are destroyed, and the family is destroyed in an instant, but the dam is built more and more completely, and everyone is more and more at ease.

Zhao Ziying relied on this water conservancy to firmly hold the hearts of the people in Xuzhou and Pizhou, which is the real means to count in one fell swoop!

Liu Yong, who was close to the Yellow River crossing in Hejiazhuang, often came, and he soon noticed the difference now, as there were actually 1,000 regiments stationed near the dam, and from time to time there were people patrolling back and forth on foot and on horseback up and down the dam.

In the storage yard on this side of the dam, you can see a large number of bamboo cages stacked, and there are people who are constantly making them, and I don't know why.

After following Zhao Jin up to the dam and seeing the Yellow River, Liu Yong understood what this qiē arrangement was for.

"The water is rising so fast, when I leave, the river beach is still exposed!" Liu Yong asked in surprise.

In these years, the drought has been severe, the Yellow River is very dry, the river beaches on both sides are often exposed, and the people who are greedy for cheap crops have planted crops on it, when Liu Yong went north to Shandong, the Yellow River is also very narrow, but now it seems that the water is surging, and it is very magnificent.

Zhao Jin stared at the water surface, and walked along the dam silently, he looked at every place on the dam carefully, and then said in a muffled voice: "This year, Xuzhou has a smooth wind and rain, but the rain in Henan is more than in previous years, and the water potential of the Yellow River is rising day by day, which is a big trouble!" ”

Wang Zhaojing explained on the side: "The eldest brother has made preparations for this, at present, there are more than 30,000 people on both sides of the Yellow River who can be mobilized at any time, and now they must prepare to strengthen the embankment in addition to farm work, and prepare earth and rocks around this river, once something happens, these people will come up." ”

If something happens to the Yellow River in the Xuzhou section, the Yellow River floods and floods both banks, then the most elite area of Zhao Ziying will be destroyed, and Zhao Ziying will have a big mess here, and the painstaking management will be destroyed by natural disasters, so how can people stand it.

"If there is really any breach, as long as the entire river embankment is not broken, we can still withstand it, we have enough manpower, and the materials are enough, then the bamboo cage will be loaded with soil and stone and thrown directly into the gap, or it can be sealed, and we have been digging ditches for irrigation for so many years, and we are dredging various rivers in the territory, and the diversion and diversion of water is better than elsewhere." Zhao Jin said his arrangement, and sighed after saying a few words.

Shaking his head, he said: "But these are just doing their best, and it really depends on the sky!" ”

Zhao Jin's face was full of helplessness, he has always believed in the sentence that people will win the day, but in his memory, the organization that can say this sentence can mobilize extremely huge forces, from people to materials, but even so, the response to the great flood is also trembling, and every time it is full of strength.

Compared with that kind of power, what I have now is really pitiful, Huaxia has devoted the whole country to deal with the Yellow River flood for thousands of years, and even condensed into Huaxia because of this flood, but what does Zhao Ziying have now? Counting the distance, the two places that can be used to deal with the Yellow River, that is, Xuzhou and Pizhou, if anything, it is really chilling.
