"Zhou Chang, you are an idle guy, you haven't even done heavy work to brag about," a young man laughed at him: "Unlike me, I have at least been a river worker for half a year, and I will stay." ”

"What's the great deal about doing river work, I will make up a big sweep, build bluestone, and if you want to control the Yellow River, you have to be my old Yang!"

"Don't you even need to eat when you work? My Lanzhou grain store is willing to give 500 quintals of grain, and I will send it to the river embankment now. ”

The crowd was noisy and shouting, and in a short period of time, it turned from a small tide to a big tide.

After some government soldiers found out, they quickly went to report Chen Wang.

When Chen Wang heard this, he rode his horse.

After seeing many young people, my heart was moved.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Lanzhou, the Yellow River flood is coming, the embankment is difficult to prevent, everyone's kindness I Chen received someone, but the dam collapse is coming, you should leave early, don't lose your life for a momentary spirit."

He really wants to persuade these young people to return, this is not only the backbone of the entire Lanzhou, but also the hope of those old people in their old age, if they are all cut off here, what face will he have to see the villagers who returned to the city after the flood has passed?

Unexpectedly, these young people were extremely resolute.

"Lord Chen, don't persuade you, we have already made up our minds, even if we die, we are willing to advance and retreat with the adults."

"What's more, the Yellow River is dangerous, and now the embankment must be very short of manpower, I will wait, one more person will have one more chance to hold on, as long as everyone unites, it is not necessary that they can come back alive, you say?"

It was the young man who spoke in the lead, and after he sent his old man away, he had no worries.

"No, absolutely not, none of you have an official body, and the second is not a government soldier, you are just ordinary people, I Chen Wang can die in the Yellow River, these government soldiers can die in the Yellow River, because my duty is to protect everyone, but if you die in the Yellow River, wouldn't it be a waste of the fruits that I and all the government soldiers worked so hard for?"

"Everyone listen to my advice and evacuate quickly."

All the young men looked at each other, feeling Chen Wang's determination to let them evacuate, although they were unwilling, they didn't know how to refute it.

At this moment, Zhu Wushuang, the prince of Zhufu, stood up.

"Lord Chen, I wish you a good time."

Chen Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he recognized the scholar of Zhufu, speaking of which, he had met him a few times.

Zhufu is quite prestigious in Lanzhou, there is no official or position in the house, but there is a marquis in the ancestor, and he has made a fortune since then, and he still lives a worry-free life until now.

This prince of Zhufu has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, but he could not enter the court as an official because there was no official in the Tang Dynasty's official system, so he did not participate in the scientific examination.

At this time, he stepped forward.

"Oh? It turned out to be Zhu Gongzi of Zhufu, what is his opinion? Chen Wang said.

"Gao Jian didn't dare to be," Zhu Wushuang said: "I have heard someone talk about His Majesty since he ascended the throne, set up a ten-mile state banquet to set up a national policy, and then set up Chang'an Daily to implement a new trend of thought, the core concept is that everyone in the world is equal, I wish Wushuang is not talented, today I will be in this Lanzhou City, by His Majesty's holy light, to promote this new trend of thought." ”

"Your Majesty's book, everyone is equal in the whole world, farmers are equal to officials, merchants are equal to marquis, beggars on the street are no different from the clans in the palace, everyone can treat them as equal, everyone can have a house to live in, everyone can have clothes to wear, the people have no food, the court officials are not allowed to eat rice, the people have no clothes, the court officials can only be dressed in rags, only the people live and work in peace and contentment, live a rich life, and the officials are considered competent, this is the official for the people's servants."

"Now in my opinion, everyone is equal and has another meaning, that is, every day can share the world, since everyone shares the world, the soil under their feet, there is a share of my wish for Wushuang, there is a share of the people of Lanzhou, you Chen Wangchen Lord has done his best to die, and then he has taken these soldiers to become heroes, don't you allow me to wait for ordinary people to be heroes?"

"Did you say yes or no?"

Zhu Wushuang's words aroused high approval from everyone.

"That's right, I also have a share of the soil under my feet, and I can do this hero." The people shouted.

"Lord Chen doesn't need to say any more, I have already made up my mind, if I can't protect the Han Land with my hands, wouldn't it be in vain that Your Majesty has created a peaceful world for us?"

Everyone bowed to Chen Wang: "Please also ask Lord Fu Yin to fulfill us." ”

Chen Wang looked at these passionate people and his heart also rose with passion, if everyone in the world is like this, why worry about the Yellow River not being cured?

"Okay, Commander Chen listened to the order and registered all the names of all the Lanzhou people who participated in the governance of the river, and the official should report to the imperial court and show his merits one by one!"

"No."

Just as Commander Chen was about to execute the order, Zhu Wushuang said: "No need, I will wait for the name of the grass people, so I won't bother Your Majesty, it's a big deal to die on the river embankment, and it can also add a height to the Lanzhou embankment." ”

Chen Wang saw that the power of these young men to help control the river had been decided, and even if he no longer persuaded him, he dismounted and silently bowed to everyone who walked forward.

"It is a great honor for me to have you by my side."

Zhu Wushuang waved his hand: "Brothers, let's go!" ”

Yangtze River Jingjiang embankment.

When the torrential rain pours, even if there is Dongting Lake, a natural water storage lake, upstream, the entire Jingzhou embankment is about to fall into a precarious place.

The embankment of Henan Province.

Feng Jizhang, the head of the river, led the river workers to continuously strengthen and raise the river dam day and night, just to be able to control the flood peak within the river and prevent the river from endangering Henan Province.

"Feng Gong, the sweep is not enough, and the bluestone strips sent by Henan Province are not enough to raise the embankment, according to the speed of the increase in the water volume of the Yellow River, we will not be able to withstand this year's flood."

Feng Jizhang took out the strength of his former army and scolded: "What are you panicking, I have reported to Henan Mansion, and I believe that there will be a reply in the near future." ”

At this moment, the Henan government army arrived.

"On the order of Lord Yin of Henan Prefecture, our government army led more than 3,500 people to support the river embankment, and asked Feng Gong to accept it."

"Okay, very good," Feng Jizhang was relieved, with this government army, the manpower of the river embankment of Henan Mansion has risen sharply, and more importantly, it is impossible for Henan Mansion to only send people without supplies.

He asked the leading generals, "Where are the supplies?" How much is the supply? ”

The leading general replied: "The number of bluestone strips is not much, but Lord Fu Yin has received 30,000 sacks from Chang'an, and there will be a steady stream of sacks to be sent in the future. ”

"Sacks? What can you do with a sack? ”

Such a common thing, even Feng Jizhang didn't think of what its purpose was.

The general arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty has sent a decree that this thing has a miraculous effect when it is filled with sediment and thrown into the water. ”
