Floods are often accompanied by plagues, so it is not enough to prepare food, but also to prepare all kinds of herbs and doctors for epidemic prevention and treatment, and in the event of floods, he can put these people and herbs into the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River as soon as possible.

As for the tools for flood control, he really couldn't think of any good things to make, so he just asked Duan Lun of the Ministry of Industry to prepare a large number of sacks, make as many as he wanted, and send them all to the riverside area.

For a time, Chang'an's major news continued to be listed.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs collects grain, and those who have surplus grain at home can sell all the grain to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will collect it at twice the price on weekdays, and if the seller can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs or local official residences."

"Two levies on grain? Is there going to be war again? ”

Some of the people began to underestimate it in private, but some of the clever people, combined with the rest of the notices, had gradually deduced the answer.

"I'm afraid it's not a war, but something big going on in the north."

And the people continued to look down.

In addition to food, doctors and herbs were also recruited.

"All those who have experience in curing diseases must report to the Ministry of Rites immediately and unconditionally, double the daily money per labor, and at the same time collect a large number of plague herbs, and those who provide them can give high prices."

"The Ministry of Industry recruits a large number of migrant workers, regardless of whether they have skills or not, and the wage is more than twice that of normal days."

Looking at this posted notice, the people were eager to try.

"Why is it that all of a sudden, the imperial court has issued so many high-priced jobs and spent so much money to collect grain? It's ......"

Finally one of the people spoke out about it.

Food, plagues, doctors, herbs, and laborers.

"The Yellow River is going to flood?"

"But how would the court know?" There were no floods, no refugees, and according to past practice, the imperial court could not have reacted in such a timely manner.

What they didn't know was that Qin Huaidao was completely different from the previous emperors, who sought stability in everything, decided to look ahead and backward when deciding on a matter, and often missed the best decision-making period if they had to allocate various materials and silver.

And Qin Huaidao's main focus is to be prepared, as for the money, he can advance it through paper money, and after the flood passes, he will make up the amount.

With the imperial court posting, the rest of the things are much easier.

A large number of migrant workers flocked to the Ministry of Industry like a tidal wave.

Seeing a large number of migrant workers coming, Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, led his subordinates to receive and arrange their tasks, some were arranged to transport, some arranged to weave sacks, and some were responsible for making some warm clothes to prevent the refugees from running out of clothes after the flood.

As for the small boat needed for water rescue, it needs to be made locally, and if it is done in Chang'an and then transported to the banks of the Yellow River, it will take time and effort, not to mention, and when the boat arrives, I am afraid it will not be used.

In short, with Qin Huaidao's holy order, all the states and provinces along the Yellow River have been activated, and a steady stream of materials to deal with the floods of the Yellow River has been produced.

As for things like dam reinforcement, it is natural to do it.

The banks of the Yellow River are thousands of miles long, and it is difficult to achieve all the reinforcements.

Even so, do your best.

At this time, the Yellow River embankment, which Lanzhou Prefecture is in charge of, came with frightening news.

The flood peak is coming.

The Lanzhou government issued an order for the people to move out, and since the order was issued, hundreds of people have left their hometowns and fled to distant places where they have never been.

By the time they arrived at the river, the water level of the entire Yellow River had risen to less than one person's height.

He called Wang Heng to ask about the situation: "How is it?" ”

Wang Heng saw that it was Lord Yin of the Mansion, and his hurried figure was tired: "Yesterday has passed a wave of flood peaks, and we predict that the flood peak that will cross the border today will be higher, if we don't respond in time, I am afraid that there will be a danger of dam failure." ”

"I've brought someone here, call as you please." Fu Yin didn't say anything, and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Everyone listens to the order, on the river, it is all up to the king of the river, if there is any trouble and does not obey, it will be decided!" ”

"No."

All the soldiers obeyed the order one by one, only the soldier who was responsible for leading the Lanzhou Mansion Army flashed a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

These were supposed to be his subordinates, even if they cooperated with the river workers, they should not be completely commanded by the river workers, at most they could be regarded as the two sides cooperating.

If it was all under the command of the river workers, wouldn't he, who was often a member of the army, live under the head of the river under this eight-rank man?

However, the big disaster is ahead, and it is difficult to say anything when Lanzhou Mansion joins the army.

Seeing the support of people and horses, Wang Heng was overjoyed, and he didn't take much into account the emotions of these soldiers, and beckoned to them: "Brothers, let's put these big silicons down first, so as to reduce the impact of the river on the embankment and sweep away the soil for dam construction." ”

"Okay."

All the soldiers didn't say a word, they stepped forward to help, and after Lanzhou's face changed a few points, he still participated in it and did not show his dissatisfaction.

Chen Wang looked at Jing Zhiyi and Jiang Yusheng, the two of them knew more about the river than himself, and this flood would probably have to rely on the two of them.

"Kappa, do you think the water level and flow speed of the Yellow River at this time will be in danger of dam failure?"

Jiang Yusheng didn't speak, just walked to the bottom of the embankment, stretched out two fingers to feel the flow of the water, and grabbed a handful of river water to look at the amount of sediment in his hand, but did not speak.

After a while, he did the action he had just done again, and it was only at this time that he ran to Chen Wang and Jing Zhiyi and informed them of the conclusion he had reached.

"I just grabbed the river sand twice in a row, and found that the second time the river sand was more than the first time, indicating that the water level of the Yellow River has not reached the highest level at this time, and there is still a large amount of rainwater flowing into the Yellow River from the mountains and forests and underground through the stream, and the flood peak will arrive as soon as tonight."

"There can be bluestone bars or other damming things here, if you can increase the height of one or two more is the safest, otherwise whether this dam can resist, it's really hard to say."

Hearing Jiang Yusheng's words, Chen Wang couldn't help but chuckle.

He is more confident in the solidity of the dam, in the early years when the dam was built, he often came to supervise, every stone, every side of the soil through his hands, there is no fraud, if only a small flood comes here, the downstream of the dam is not easy to say, but the dam in Lanzhou Province, there is no worry about the dam bursting.

"Don't worry, I have 100% confidence in this dam." Chen Wang explained.

Kappa Jiang Yusheng shook his head: "Official, I can also see the strength of this dam, but I said don't be angry, this Yellow River flood may be different from the past, the amount of precipitation has far exceeded that of previous years, and under the accumulation, I am afraid that there will be a disaster unseen in a century." ”

In the face of calamity, blind confidence is dangerous, and Chen Wang also knows this.
